Broken Wings
Chapter 6: Escaping Death
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSo there I was again, trapped out in a storm broken and bleeding. I wanted to have it all end right there as I laid on the hill in agony. I must have passed out as when I awoke it was dark and the sky was filled with monstrous but magnificent storm clouds. “Maybe the infection from my injuries will kill me…or maybe I’ll starve to death or perhaps I’ll get hypothermia from this storm and freeze to death” I said to myself I was beyond any hope of assistance now and I thought I accepted the fact that this is where I will die. Darkside chimed in “It’s what you deserve… you know it…I know it and the world will be better off this way”. He laughed a cruel and bitter laugh at that. “Good riddance”. I couldn’t accept it. For some reason my body began to crawl I found myself squirming through the mud towards the cottage at the bottom of the hill. Sweat poured from my body the salt stinging all the wounds I had. At the lip of the hill I felt myself roll down mud splashing all over my face. I couldn’t see I could barely breathe. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a cyan pony coming towards me and it did something I never expected. It pulled me out of the mud which it seemed to have a hard time with. The wind was howling the rain falling in sheets as it pulled me to the door of the cottage. I could hardly fathom the idea that this creature or…pony was helping me. Why?! It doesn’t need to care about me. My mind was a mess, drifting in and out of consciousness “Fluttershy!”
The cyan pony called and as I looked I saw a cream colored Pegasus carrying a pink mare on her back.
“Thank goodness you’re here Rainbow, Pinkie is much worse than I thought and we need to get her to the hospital right this minute.”
“Say no more I am on it” BOOM! A flash of lightning appeared directly overhead. The cyan pony looked nervous from what I could tell and was very anxious as well.
“I don’t think I can fly in that Fluttershy this storm is way intense even for me”
I don’t think the two of them really even remembered I was there I guess I was caked in mud so I blended in pretty well.
I involuntarily moved my arm and groaned trying to let my presence be known.
Fluttershy seemed to notice she gasped “Dash what is that?!” Rainbow looked down at me with eyes that almost looked as if they were worried.
“Oh yeah I found this… I don’t really know what it is but, it seemed hurt I brought him to your door to see if you could help him…”
Fluttershy clearly flustered with all that was happening “Rainbow I am so scared right now but, Pinkie needs professional medical care right this moment and so does that creature we have to get them to the hospital NOW!”
The forcefulness of Fluttershy’s voice shocked Rainbow Dash. Only a few times before had she seen Fluttershy so upset and yet so determined
“But how do we get them there I’m not sure I can fly them both by myself especially in this….” She sounded almost embarrassed.
“ I have an idea I know it’s risky but Pinkie needs us and so does this…thing we have to fly there I’ll grab my wagon I use to carry frogs and we can use that to carry both of them.”
“Alright then let’s get to it!” the cyan pony yelled as the wind suddenly intensified as it started howling.
The last thing I remember was being rocked back and forth in a wagon and oddly enough the smell of cotton candy and fruit filling my nose. The last thing I remember thinking was why the hell am I still alive.
