Here and new

I dream of someone, someone I haven't seen in a long time, I open my eyes to see that I am in a hospital. In my mother's caring arms, I soon realize that I'm in my infancy, where I was just born. I cry while she tries to soothe me patting me, immediately calming me down. I try to reach for her face with my tiny little arms.

All of a sudden the room goes black and grows cold as ice, I see my mother fading; she turns transparent and she loses her grip, and drops me. I scream for her reaching trying to get a hold of her. It was useless; I was plummeting into the darkness away from the one who cares for me. I scream as I face below to see nothing but the black bottomless pit, It was a memory mixed with a nightmare.

Out of the dream I scream, lifting my upper body with my eyes still shut, feeling intense pain. I hear another scream coming from my left. All of a sudden I feel a blow to my head, nearly nocking me out. Leaning on my side with my eyes still shut, I hear noises coming my way, I hear two voices.

"What happened, what was all that screaming?!" A male voice spoke.

"He just got up and started screaming out of nowhere like a maniac!" The female voice spoke.

"I see but why is he leaning on his side like that?"

"It startled me and by reflex I just kicked him!"

"What? Nurse Redheart, we are trying to tend the injuries to the patient, not make them worse!" The male nearly shouted.

I let out a small groan regaining my eye sight and composure, I see I'm in a room with two of these talking horses, one of them with a disk on his forehead that doctors wear, and a mare who seemed to be white and have a red cross on her flank.

"Where am I!? Who are you!?" I try to point but I flinch at the pain I feel, I see that I have a gauss in my arm, and chest seeing that I’m completely restrained.

"What?! No, no, no! Not again!!!" I shout as I try to free myself from my bounds.

"No, calm down! If you struggle you'll re-open your wounds, Nurse!!!"

The mare then runs up to me and puts her hooves on my chest, avoiding placing pressure on my wound.

"Ahhh!!! Let me go, let me go!!!" I try to struggle but she's got me pinned good.

"All you need is a sedative and you'll be just fine" The stallion then walks up to me with his horn glowing green, which caused me to panic even more.

"No! please, don't-" I was cut off when he zapped me with his magic, my body then started to surrender as I gently lie on my back and my eyes start getting heavy. I let out loud groans trying to fight it, it was futile.

"Shh,shh...go to sleep." The mare whispered as I started to shut my eyes and drift once again to sleep. Ever since I got here the thing that's been happening the most was losing consciousness, with blows to the head, loss of blood, and now this! Shoot me please!

______________________________________________________________________________

After a couple of hours, I then regain my conscious having the setting sun's light beam trough a curtain right into my face; it's orange beam waking me up from my forced slumber.

And to my "surprise" I see I'm still bound to this bed, the room is quiet for a while, until I hear hoof steps nearing my room, oh man I hope it's not the doctor, I'll go ape cakes if he tries to sedate me again.

Coming through the door of my room I see the lavender mare and her five other friends, this was the last thing I needed meting these six again. Being bound like this made angry, so all I did was glare at the six mares until the lavender one spoke to me.

"How are you feeling?" She asks.

"Great...I love lying in bed with restraints to hold me down not being able to leave" Me being testy and sarcastic.

"Oh...I see you’re all patched up then, huh?" She lets out a smile; all I could do was glare at her.

"Oh yea, it was, oh...um let me think; Oh! I know, it’s because I risked my life trying to save your two friends over there! I'd point but you know!" I keep the sarcasm going, seeing that I’ve made her feel bad looking away from me.

The orange mare with the hat approaches me to my right, flinching at the very site of her coming near, I start to panic on the inside a little, thinking that she'll hit me again.

"Hey, don't be shy, Ah won’t bite."

"Yea right, you came here to land another blow at me for what I did to your big red friend!" Crap, maybe I shouldn't have said that.

"Maybe at first yea, but after what you just did I'm willing to let it go, if you forgive me of our first encounter...heh,heh...and he's my brother" She chuckles nervously, then puts her hooves on my bed next to by body. I wince a little, but it seems she means no harm, and she was being sincere about what she just said.

"Hmm..." I was a little skeptical about her offer, However, if I learned anything in life, its that you should give someone a second chance. Even if they do nock you right into a tree with her strong hooves.

"Alright, I guess everyone deserves a second chance. Besides...I saved your life, it would be pointless to stay mad at you after keeping you from becoming that thing's chew toy." I smiled a little.

"Ya mean it?! Thanks partner!" She reaches out to hug me, only to put pressure on the wounds on my chest. I wince back from her hug letting out a grunt.

"Sorry about that. Didn't mean to hurt ya..." She backs up a little.

"...Again." I say in a testy tone, hey, it hurts. I see she was hurt about what I had just said; now I feel like a jerk-a-aurous rex. Got to fix this.

"Hey common, I was only messing you." I let out a chuckle trying to brighten her spirits, it seems to be working, and she lets out a faint smile.

Before she could speak, the lavender mare named Twilight cut our little bond time, or whatever it was short. She seemed fixed on asking me her little questions, I don't know about you but she seems to be an egghead. I humor her just so I can gain her trust, so I can be released from these restraints.

"Alright, miss...Twilight sparkle?" I ask; she then nods. "I'll humor you...ask me your questions that you are so bent on getting the answers on."

"Can you tell us your name? We seemed to have forgotten what it was" She sounded embarrassed.

"Well, if I have to remind you, my name is Leon."

"Leon?" She tries not to burst in laughter, but I could hear her sniggering while she covers her mouth with her hoof.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing!" I could see her try to hold it in, but she bursts into tears of laughter. Laughing so hard, the rainbow Pegasus, and the pretty unicorn mare also start laughing uncontrollably, made me turn red.

"I think it's a nice name." The yellow mare says in her cute voice.

"Yea...pfft! It’s pfft! a nice na-Hahahaha!" She drops on the ground rolling, laughing louder than the rest, even the pink one joins in. All I could do was glare as they laugh with eyes watering, after a while they collect themselves.

"I'm so sorry! It's just that...that Pfft! Hahaha!!!" She laughs as she points at me with her hoof with the face that nearly derpd. I had enough, I shout to stop this madness.

"Alright! enough!!! Jeez, never in my life have I crossed people this rude

Twilight then regains her composure, and starts controlling herself, this time with a face the says "I can be professional". This was sad to watch, but a little funny.

"Ok, I'm sorry, I really am. I shouldn't laugh at foreign names, it was extremely rude and I apologize for our behavior."  Her apology was sincere, but even if I told them my real name, they would still probably laugh. I mean I've heard their names and they sound bizarre; Twilight? Fluttershy? Applejack? Pinky? The other two I have no idea.

"And what do people mean? Is it a term that you use instead of ponies?"

"Yea, it is, are you gonna laugh at that too?"

"No, no, I wasn't going to laugh. I promise" This time she was acting professionally, I'm a little impressed."

"Okay, Okay next question. I noticed you have fangs but also flat teeth behind them, are...are you and omnivore?"

"Yes, I am, and what kind of a question is that? You’re telling me you don't run into omnivores much?"

"Well, no but we've had encounters with carnivores but rarely omnivores" I was a little perplexed at what she had told me.

"You don't eat ponies do you?" Asked Fluttershy a little timidly, her friends we also a little nervous now.

"No, I've never eaten a pony in my life, I highly doubt they make good meat so no thank you" I said sticking out my tongue in disgust; they seemed relived but still cautious.

"Then what kind of meats do you eat?" On this was she was desperate to hear the answer.

"The types of meat I eat are; Cow, chicken, lamb, and maybe fish, Heck, I would even eat other carnivores."  This actually shocked them to a point of new bounds, they seemed to be in a trance, it kind of creeps me out.

"Uh, are you guys alright? Helloooo? Hey!!!" They shake their heads snapping out of it, then they just stare at me like I'm a freak.

"Oh, uh sorry about that, we kind of zoned out." She then starts writing on her scroll with her feather quill. "Okay now, can you tell me what this is?" She uses her magic to levitate my knife to my left.

"That would be my throwing knife, it's meant to be thrown obviously, if you just look at the design."  The knife the spins very slowly to be examined. She stares at it in curiosity for a while letting out little hums. She puts it back in its sheath. Before she asks anymore questions I stop her to let her know that there might be something else that can answer any of her questions she has.

"Hold on, I think there is a bag that I left back at the lake with two books int them!" I see an exciting look on her face when I mentioned my text book.

"Books? Books!? What are they about!?!?" She nearly shoves her snout into mine, making me very nervous, I can only guess she loves books and learning, she's an egghead after all.

"Uhh, they are about the human anatomy, and the other one is about world history, Also my note books, with that they can tell you more."

"We have to get to that bag, before they get too wet!"  Her horn then starts to glow and in a magenta flash she vanishes.

"What just happened?!"  I yell trying figure out what where she went, I see her for a second and "poof" she's gone. Before I could ask the other ponies they're gone as well.  And I was still bound to the bed, which pissed me off which also cause me to go crazy again yelling, and struggling. The nurse and doctor come running to the room, restraining me and being sedated. Again!

______________________________________________________________________________

Next morning I wake to see that its dead quiet, a little too quiet. Something was not right; there was a disturbing vibe that the room gave off. Like there was someone else here, I could hear faint breathing coming from my bed.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" I look around to see if there was anyone is in my room, I then hear some movement under my bed. I try to lean to my left to see if someone’s there. Then all of a sudden; a green mint unicorn just pops out literally scaring the crap out of me.

"Ah! Who are you?!" I flung my body to my left, which hurt like so damn much.

"Oh, sorry I scared you." She then completely emerged from under my bed, letting her self-known. She looks pretty; gold rim eyes, nice mint green coat, and a luscious mane.

"Ahem, my name is Lyra heartstrings" She hold out a hoof to shake my hand.

"Uh...I'd shake your...hoof, but I'm bound to my bed as you can see."

"Oh! Lemme help you with that." She releases me from my restraints.

I didn't even have to convince this one, she was either really brave or really...not bright. But I'm not complaining. All I have to do is act like her friend and get her to hide me from these crazy ponies, I mean I could tell she was kind of crazy but I'm getting desperate, "Now...where the hell are my clothes?" I finally notice that I'm half naked; I see I’m only wearing my boxers, at least these ponies knew where to stop stripping me….
