Salt, Anger, And Booze

Salt, Anger, And Booze
Part 5: The Parasite

By: Major Frostwing

It has been about 2 months now... Two mother fucking rage inducing months. There were quite a few close calls but my heart has been slowly recovering and my rage levels are way down. I still get annoyed but not to the degree of tackling my doctor... That did happen though. Nurse Red Line has been by my side the entire way. Twilight and the others come and visit me from time to time when they aren't busy. I "enjoy" seeing them and according to Twilight she has a surprise for when I finally get released from here.

Don't know what the fuck they could surprise me with but whatever possible free shit puts me in a better mood.

"Jon it is time for your session." Nurse Red Line said entering my room to see me at a small desk instead of my bed writing stuff down. Doctor Calm Wind is making us write in journals to help us filter out our rage. I have gone through 8 journals this week. Most of it isn't full of anger or rage. They are filled with my notes on psychology and other important research that I could either recall or add.

"Just one second Red." I said as I finished writing down my thought before closing my book. "Alright let's go." I said getting to my feet. They finally took me off the IV and now I just have to take my medication in pill form.

"You are looking a lot better Jon. It has also been a week since your last attack and even that one was minor. Your heart is on it's way to making a full recovery." She said with a smile. I smiled back to her with a cocky grin.

"Was there any doubt that my heart would be good as new?" I asked her tapping her on the shoulder. She giggled at that. We both walked out of the room only for me to run right into Princess Celestia who looked startled at me running into her. "Oh what the fuck." I muttered looking at her with a glare.

"Just the man I was looking for. I would like to speak with you Jon in private if that is possible." Celestia looked to Red who bowed her head to her.

"Sorry Princess but no dice. I got to go to my Anger Management right now we can talk in an hour give or take a half hour." I said with a smile before walking past her when a small Alicorn as they were called standing behind Celestia she was staring right at me with a look of confusion before she looked down at my right hand.

"Sister you didn't tell me he was infected." She whispered to Celestia loud enough that I could hear her.

"He is the one I wanted you to meet Luna." Celestia whispered back.

"Hey Celestia who is this chick?" I asked feeling myself get annoyed but felt Red set her hand on my shoulder. I looked back to her seeing her smile I couldn't help but calm down a bit at seeing her smile to me.

"This is who I want you to meet so can we talk now?" Celestia asked as I looked to her and then back at Red who nodded.

"You got 20 minutes." I said walking back into my room with them all following behind me.

I sat on my bed listening to what Celestia had just told me and couldn't help but stare down at my right hand as she finished.

"So Luna was that chick that infected me with the Parasite. Ok cool why bring it up then. For all you know I could have tackled her to the ground and finished what I started all those months ago." I pointed out tightening my fists before letting them relax.

"Twilight has told me you have been very successful in your recovery with your heart and getting control over your anger. Plus I would have stopped you simple as that." Celestia said as I let out a chuckle.

"So got anyway to get rid of this pest yet?" I asked holding my hand up for her to see.

"Nothing yet. If we use the elements on you it could destroy your hand or worse you entirely. For now all I can suggest is that you continue to deal with it until we can remove it." Celestia said calmly. "I do fear that it is spreading through you even though we have put that seal over your hand." I cocked an eyebrow as she held up a mirror to me so I could see myself that's when I saw it.

My eyes no longer looked normal they had a snake like quality to them. and seemed to be a more vibrant green than before. I glanced up to see my hair was now black with a small patch of purple next to my right eye. I touched the small patch before looking back at Red.

"Oh for fucks sake." I said as I ran my hand through my hair. "I haven't looked in a mirror in over a month." I said with a chuckle.

"How could you have not seen these changes?" Luna asked as Red spoke up for me.

"We noticed that Jon would stare into mirrors for long periods of time but not be looking at himself but something that was always behind him. Whatever he was looking at would cause him to have an attack so I had all mirrors removed from his room and banned them from being near him." Red Explained as she set her hand on my shoulder. "I saw the changes but kept quiet so Jon wouldn't have another attack." I smiled to her understanding why she didn't tell me. Still pissed me off though.

"I see." Celestia said as she made the mirror disappear. "Jon has there been anymore encounters with the parasite?" She asked as I nodded.

"Skitzo remember." I said tapping the side of my head. "She shows up every now and again tries to sound all evil and shit but I don't really listen to her. I have important research to do." I said looking at the wall clock seeing that their 20 minutes were up. "Time's up Princess." I said getting to my feet adjusting my shirt.

"Jon. Something is coming. I can feel it in my heart and I think you need to know about it." I paused as I set my hand on the door knob looking back at Celestia.

"Princess with all due respect. I am just a man with a bad heart and an anger issue. If you are going to rely on me then your world is already doomed." I said bluntly to her before leaving my room I had quite a lot to write in my journal tonight and none of it to kind.

I sat in my room writing my thoughts down on paper. Most of it was incoherent rage ramblings but I wrote it all down with a calm expression on my face. I knew it was late but I couldn't sleep anyway.

"Well well well what do we have here?" I heard a voice echo around me as I looked about my room seeing no one there. I turned back to my journal looking down before turning the page to see a mismatched creature dancing on the page. I looked down at it with a deadpanned expression. "It has been quite some time since I talked with you Jon." The creature wasn't even looking at me as I picked up my book smiling down at it as I ripped the page that held the creature out of the book crumpling it up before tossing it over my shoulder.

"Now that, that is over with." I went back to my writing only to feel a hands on my shoulders. I stopped writing as I calmly set my pen down.

"I think we got off on the wrong hoof let's have a chat you and I." That voice said as I calmly closed my book turning around in my swivel chair. I came face to face with the mismatched creature and only looked at him with a dead panned expression. "My name is Discord. We had a conversation a while ago." He asked in a cheery voice and a smile.

I stood from my chair shoving him out of my way going to my bathroom. The parasite must be getting desperate to make something like that. I began taking a piss when I heard a knock at the door. "I'm taking a piss fuck off." I said to the door. I finished up washing my hands before going back to my desk to continue my work.

"Will you quit ignoring me I'm actually here to have a conversation with you." Discord said as I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want Discord can't you see I am busy?" I asked continuing to write.

"What the hell are you doing in this hospital? I did not mess up Nightmare Moon's summoning spell so you could live comfortably in a boring place like this." My pen froze on the page as I replayed what he said in my head. "You were supposed to cause glorious chaos but instead you are just being lazy." I took a few shaky breaths before setting down my pen.

"Discord are you the one that sent me here?" I asked as I got out of my chair closing my book slowly.

"Of course Salt... Now get off your lazy butt and get to work causing chaos." I looked over my shoulder staring at Discord with a glare.

"I almost forgot about the one who sent me here. I originally thought it was that bitch Nightmare Moon that brought me here but I guess you hold that honor. I got a few things I need to talk to you about as well Discord." I cracked my knuckles seeing Discord look at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Do you honestly think that you can take me child?" Discord asked as I smiled.

"Take you? No. Beat the ever living shit out of you until you beg me to stop? Ooooooh Fuck yes." Discord let out a chuckle before snapping his fingers disappearing.

"We will meet again Jon I want to see that chaos boil over." His voice echoed all around me as I let out a growl sitting back down at my desk. I opened my book to see that all of my writings were replaced with flowers and happy little drawings. My eye twitched as I grabbed the book ripping it in half throwing it all away in my trash can.

"Fucking ugly pest." I muttered under my breath as I pulled out a blank journal and got back to work writing my rage out on paper.
