Beep………… beep………… beep………… beep…………

Echo’s eyes were greeted by a bright light as they slowly started to open. The steady pace of beeping was ringing next to his ear. As his senses came back to him, he was able to see where he was. It looked like a hospital room, with lots of medical machines stationed next to the small metal bed. Turning to his side, he saw something he never wanted to see: Ember in a bed, hooked up to the machines. He gasped at the sight, knowing perfectly well what happened.

“Ember....” He slowly raised his head up, a fire of determination was in his eyes.

He tried to get up, but was held down by wires and tubes.

Grunting, he forcibly removed the sensors and the IV drip. When he was done, he limped over to her bed. Tears of regret were flowing freely down his face as blood pored from the holes left from the needles.

“I'm so sorry Ember... I'm so, so sorry,” he said, looking around the room again. “I tried to fight him... I-I did!"

He was getting more and more guilty over putting her in the state she's in now.

“I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry, baby! I love you, so much!", the stallion cried.

As soon as he finished, Fuse, Crimson and three orderlies came in response to Echo's screaming.

“Calm down kid! It's okay, It's okay...” said the green stallion.

“I fucking did this to her! How is it all-fucking right!?” cried Echo.

"Echo, it's not your fault! The Alpha possessed you and forced you to do it!" argued Crimson.

"I should've been stronger! I could've stopped myself!", tears were pouring from his face and his hooves trembled.

"E...", said Fuse

"It wasn't enough... I was too weak..." said Echo as he eyed a scalpel.

"E... look at me,"
