The mountain was getting close. The heat was getting overwhelming. As Midnight and Moonlight reached the peak they found the entrance. They looked inside the gaping hole to see a giant purple dragon. The smoke was billowing from the sleeping dragon’s nostrils. The dragon was lying on a giant pile of gems. The two sisters circled around the dragon, trying to make a minimal amount of sound on the gem pile. Midnight saw the target. She started to go in and try to take it. As she reached out, she lost her balance and fell down the giant pile of gems. The egg she had been trying to get fell with her. She lunged for the egg just too suddenly feel her head throbbing and see red clouding her vision.

Moonlight stumbled backward as the dragon stirred. She saw her sister just before the dragon brought a heavy tail right onto her sister’s head. Her sister stumbled a little bit before falling down, blood streaming from a giant cut on her head. The dragon lifted her tail back up. Blood was now dripping off it onto the ground. The dragon sleepily scooped up her egg and but it back under her, falling back asleep. Moonlight, who now had a clear vision of her sister, felt nauseous looking at her. The blood from the cut was flowing out, staining her white coat. There was a pool of blood spilling onto the ground below her.

Moonlight walked around to where the dragon had put her egg. She reached out to grab it but was interrupted by the dragon flinching. Realizing that the dragon was still asleep, Moonlight kept going in for the egg. She grabbed the egg and slowly backed down the pile of gems.

Once Moonlight was down, she went to Midnight. Looking at her made her feel sick. The previously white coat was now drenched in red. Her eyes were bloodshot, the pupils were barely visible. The cut on her head was oozing blood into a thick pool of blood, coating some of the gems around her.

Moonlight tried to slow the blood by tying a bandanna tightly around it. Moonlight tossed her limp sister onto her back, and scooped up the egg with a hoof. Midnight gave a small nicker as she hit her sisters back. This woke up the dragon. Moonlight immediately realized this and she ran outside, the noise of the woken and angry dragon behind her. She slid down the mountain as fast as she could, the dragon in hot pursuit. A trail of blood was being left behind them. Moonlights horn lit up as she teleported away.

She landed at the edge of the nearby town, Ponyville. It was nearly midnight. Moonlight walked in town she passed the buildings of the sleeping town, looking for a hospital, doctor or anything.

Now in a full trot, Moonlight raced across town. Panic was evident in her expression. The hoarse breathing of her sister was getting worse. After a few minutes of searching she found a building with a red cross and the words “Ponyville Hospital” across the top. She raced in, looking for anypony that might be staying late. She rang the bell at the counter multiple times.

“OH, this had better be good this late at night.” came a lethargic voice.

“Help! Quick!” yelled Moonlight, her voice hoarse.

A white mare with the lightest pink mane came from the back. Her yes widened at the sight of Midnights bloody form. Midnights breathing had almost stopped and the bandanna was now soaked with blood.

“Come to the back. Now,” Said the mare, her voice frantic.
