I Promise

Galaxy Moon opens her eyes in a hospital bed. "Nurse Red Heard.." She calls out in a hoarse voice. After not hearing a single sound in response, the mare gets out of her bed. The gray-coated unicorn remembers why she was there in the hospital. Galaxy remembers chasing after her mischievous pet bird, Hex, through the forest and tripping on a log, into the river. She must have hit hard, too, because she doesn't remember anything else. She trots straight to the elevator and tries pressing the buttons, but nothing works. Next, Galaxy runs for the stairwell and climbs down the stairs to the lowest level. She uses her weakened magic to push open the great, heavy doors at the entrance of the hospital. When the mare steps outside of the doors, another pony turns around and looks at her. "H-hello..?" Galaxy Moon calls out, and the other pony starts slowly limping toward her. "What the..?" She exclaims, seeing parts of the strange pony's flesh missing. The pony makes a low grumbling sound and starts to move faster, its jaws closing and opening slowly. Galaxy quickly runs back inside, and shuts the doors. She gallops back up the stairs and walks past another room, and two bloodied hooves smack against the glass. Galaxy Moon jumps back in shock, and tries not to get too scared.

Suddenly, somepony trots across the far end of the hall, with it's wings extended. "W-Wait!" Galaxy yells, chasing after the figure. She follows it into a hospital room. The other pony uses its wing to grab a knife and hold it, ready to attack her. "Don't!" She yelps, flinching back. But, instead of hitting her, the other pony drops the knife. "Galaxy Moon, is that really you?" Galaxy looks at the other pony, a little bit confused, but then recognizes her. It's her best friend, Moonlight Bliss! "Moonlight, what's going on?" She asks, but the other mare just ignores her question and starts gathering medical supplies into her backpack. "Galaxy," the dark blue pegasus says, "we all thought you were dead!" "Thought I was dead..? Why?" Galaxy Moon asks, and Moonlight Bliss responds. "Galaxy, because Equestria is gone."
