I get the feeling she's stalking me...
Since I arrived here in Equestria, life in Ponyville isn't so bad, the pony folk are friendly enough and they always try to make me feel at home. Shortly after I arrived here a few months ago now...I think? I had to go and see a purple unicorn by the name of Twilight Sparkle and check this the crazy mare lives inside a tree! I thought I had seen everything until I went inside and it was just a huge library with books and scrolls. The rest of it had a kitchen and living room and a bed on top of a bookcase! I mean how awesome is that??
Anyway Twilight Sparkle smiles warmly at me as she sits me down and pours a cup of tea for each of us, before giving me the down low on the 'Do's and Don'ts' to help me get by on a day to day basis.
She tells me that I shouldn't venture to far into the forest as there's much danger inside it, but I brush it off as she's an equine and they get spooked by their own shadows besides I went in there yesterday and nothing happened. I love my walks through forestry and woodlands, she's not going to stop me besides I found some really tasty berries they're like the ones from home but these are much sweeter.
She carries on with her rules then asks me what kind of work I can do to earn bits... (that's the currency around here, but I don't know how much it is to the dollar, maybe I can exchange the twenty bucks in my pocket for a real drink around here!)
She tells me that I need to work to earn my keep and suggests that I try my hand at the old blacksmith forge telling me that I'd be well off keeping them shoed as well as other hard to make items for those with no posable thumbs and tells me of an old stallion that lives on the outskirts of town who used to dabble at the forge many years ago.
It's been about a week or so since my meeting with Twilight Sparkle and since then I was introduced to Iron Fire the old blacksmith who's been teaching me some new and pretty awesome new skills I must admit.
But since my Talk with Twilight, I haven't been feeling myself, it's probably living in this new world catching up with me. It's like when you go abroad and you get jet lag...that's what it must be even though I didn't get here by aeroplane, I just woke up in a field.
However, there is a white unicorn with a thick wavey purple mane by the name of Rarity, she seems friendly enough, however she seems to be showing up wherever I go lately and it's starting to freak me out.
I get the feeling that she maybe stalking me...
"Oh hello there darling! Fancy bumping into you here...." She's just standing staring at me in the middle of the alley, with a smile like a cheshire cat...where the hell did she come from?
I smile politely trying to shake the nerves off but her smile begins to fade as she raises an eyebrow in curiosity. "Is there something wrong darling? You look a little pale, maybe I can help?"
My mouth goes dry and I can feel my hands beginning to get clammy there's a part of me that just wants give a half ass excuse then run out the alley back into civilization, but I know it's useless because she's been following me so long she knows exactly when and where I'm going to be...that's how she's here right, right now.
This is her final move, this is her endgame, she has me right where she wants me and she wants me to know that there's nowhere that I can run too.
I smile trying to pretend everything is normal. "I'm okay thanks Rarity...I think it's just the day catching up with me." She looks at her hooves a moment then back up at me. "Maybe you just need to have a cup of tea and a lie down." I try to slowly back away and make a retort but I can't move a single muscle. I see her horn glowing and that grin...that nasty little grin on her face as darkness washes over me.
I wake up in a strange place and my head is thumping, my mouth is dry, I open my heavy eyes...oh my god she's here! She's just laying beside me smiling like nothing happened! She's slowly moving towards me, what the hell does she want from me??
"Oh my stars darling, you're finally awake. You know you had me worried for a moment." She says calmly running her hoof through my hair.
'She must be some kind of psycho! I need to get out outta here!'
She moves closer to me and I try to sit up but she ends up on top of me, our noses are touching and she smiles panting. "Ohh my, somepony's eager!" She teases. I'm not sure what she means, I just want to leave. She takes my dick licking me from balls to tip biting her lip giving me a naughty look before she climbs on top of me slowly spreading out her hind legs and begins to straddle me.
My erect shaft is standing up against her soft silk skin of her crotch teats where my tip is touching the soft warm fur of her belly arousing my member against my wishes. She raises her hips and with a content sigh she eases herself down my shaft I watch as her eyes roll as she throws her head back with satisfaction. I'm inside her body and I can feel her hot pony walls clamping around my dick making her hot juices slicken my shaft to go deeper inside her. She leans forward into my face gazing at me with sultry eyes she softly pants into my mouth in sync to her shallow hip movements as she fucks me deeper into her.
I feel her getting wetter around my dick as she moans and groans with sexual gratification as her hips begin to sway faster and faster she sits back up straight one hoof pushing down on my chest as the other explores the contours of her body before running up through her mane as her body begins to shake. "Oh I love your cock! Oh my stars darling! You're...making...me..cuuuum!!"
She cries out throwing her head back as she squirts her hot mare juices all over me making my cock naturally ejaculate inside her before she collapses down on me, kissing my face and thanking me. "Oh you are wonderful! It's not the way imagined our first time happening. I thought it maybe a bit more romantic, but I hope you'll be alright now darling, you had me so worried. How are you feeling now? Any better?" She smiles softly kissing me on the lips.
'What the hell is she talking about?' My head begins to throb. 'This unicorn is seriously messed in the head...I-I..." My head feels like its about to burst like a bubble and my body feels stiff and numb everything is getting dark as my eyes close I see the psycho unicorn right up in my face just smiling. "You're going to be alright now Darling." Is the last thing I hear as I go into the dark void.
I'm just leaving the Carousel Boutique when I see him an absolute dashing creature called a...hoo? a hu-man? He's taller than most of us and walks around on two legs without having a tail, it's mind boggling. He has a lean and muscular form that makes me feel as giddy as a filly. I am always getting nervous around him and I can barely form a sentence to speak to him...oh I don't know what he must think of me.
Rainbow Dash said that I should perhaps write him a letter telling him how I feel and the likes, but I honestly don't know what to say other than 'I find you quite attractive, your bright eyes are mesmerising and well kept locks look so silky and shine like Celestia's sun and you to stir my nethers whenever you're around without saying a word.'
I couldn't be so uncouth I am a lady not some horse blanket that's easy to lay. No, no! I must strive to earn his affections, make him see me and what I can offer him...I must see Zecora.
So I trotted off to Zecora's hut, carefully heading through the Everfree Forest making sure not to brush against any joke plant or step on a vine trap which would hoist me up to the canopy and have it's wicked way with me. There's also other dangers to look out for such as Timberwolves, Uses, Manticore and Cockatrice as well as other nasty things.
I hear a branch snap and I leap from having being so lost in my thoughts. I look around as fast as I can for any danger...it's there, over yonder! I take cover behind a tree to see the human wandering around. He's so brave walking around surrounded by all this danger, he makes my legs weak...oh he's such a man.
He turns my way and I hide hopefully out of sight, I don't want him thinking I'm following him or being creepy...oh I hope I'm out of his sight!
He looks my way a moment before turning and heading back to Ponyville, I see some sort of black moving around on the back of his top but he's to far away for me to see properly, I watch him till he is out of my sight but nothing seems untoward and he doesn't seem to be in any immediate threat so I carry on my way. After a thankfully an uneventful trek to Zecora's hut I sit with her and tell the story of my dilemma.
The zebra greets me with a friendly smile before speaking in rhymes. She tells me to just have confidence and if the human has feelings for me back then so be it. But if he rebukes my affection, then she assures me that there's plenty more fish in the sea.
We spend some time together just talking as we lady pony's do, just enjoying eachothers company when I mention the strange black patch moving around on his back, making the Zebras eyes grow wide as she spat her tea out. "You saw what on the humans back??" She cried out jumping to her hooves and making her way post haste to a pile of old books quickly flicking through the pages. Before I can react to anything she storms back with the book, pushing it into my face. My heart is racing and I feel like the naughty filly who's about to get scolded by the very cross teacher.
"Rarity, is this what you saw on the humans back?" She asks me in a demanding way. After all the tea I've drank, my mouth is dry as sticks. I take a close look whilst trying to find my voice. "Y-yes I'm pretty sure that was it Zecora..." She sits beside me looking in my eyes taking my hooves. "Do you have real feelings for this human, not just sexual?" She asks me brash and candidly.
Making me uncomfortable but I knew I had to answer. "Y-yes I have strong feelings for him, why do you ask such personal questions of me Zecora?" Zecora gently rubbed my hooves. My dear Rarity you are in luck, for the human you get to fuck!" I released the Zebra, jumping to my hooves. "Excuse me, I am a lady and I shall do no such thing!" I look around for my saddlebag so I can leave but the zebra stops me.
"What is the meaning of this Zecora?" I demand.
Zecora gently sushes me, sitting me back down. "Look my dear, this is your chance to face your fear." After seeing the confusion on my face she explains to me that the strange black creature will make the human it's host until it totally and completely devours him before the offspring returns to the forest to lie in wait for another unsuspecting victim.
I feel myself blushing as I find the words without trying to sound uncouth. "So what has this got to do with me fu...ahem, you know. I mean I can't just have my wicked way with him, whatever shall he think of me?? If by some way we did end up having sex, then I'd like it to be romantic maybe after a nice meal or a romantic walk?"
Zecora smiles warmly at me. "Rarity, it is a blessing in disguise. One, you truly love this man and two, you are a unicorn. You must act naturally, because if this creature senses anything untoward it could kill the man in a heartbeat and move to the nearest living creature which maybe you."
I listen intricately to her words and she gives me a moment to process the information so far before continuing. "You see Rarity, you must bide your time, do not let him out of your sight but do not make him suspicious, then when you see the creature peaking out, probably from the back of his neck, you give it a blast with your magic. This will hit your human but will damage the creature more. Once you have it restrained, you must have sex with the man and as your pheromones blend this will weaken the creature more then once the deed is done the little beasty will be gone!" I thank her and she gives me a pat on the shoulder and wishes me luck as I head back to Ponyville.
I hurry as fast as my hooves can carry me back to Ponyville thinking of only the human who is currently totally oblivious to what is happening to him right now. 'I must stay strong!' I tell myself as I fight for breath as my chest heaves to get more air into my lungs. 'I'm his only hope, I mustn't fail...I cannot fail!"
As the days pass, I keep an eye on the human, carefully watching where he goes...I feel like such a pervert, but I need to do it to help save his life.
A week has almost past and now I have to go all in... today is the day and I am feeling so nervous about what I have to do...I hope he doesn't get angry with me.
I see him about to head into the alley and take it as my chance to greet him.
"Oh hello there darling! Fancy bumping into you here..." I feel so stupid. I'm so nervous all I can do is smile. He looks like I've caught him off guard and if I'm not careful i'm going to freak him out, but he gives me a smile before asking me if theres something wrong just as I see the black tentacles appear from the back of his neck. He doesn't look very well. I must move quick before the creature kills him and moves onto me! "Is there something wrong darling? You look a little pale, maybe I can help?" I see the little beasty moving around more, I think it's on to me...I won't let it kill him I won't let it kill my love."
He turns to me seeming flustered. "I'm Okay thanks Rarity...I Think it's just the day catching up with me."
The beasty is beginning to get frantic I look at my hooves as my nerves begin to get the best of me but I have to do this and make sure the man I love survives this ordeal. I am the only one who can save him. I take a deep breath and look at him finding my smile. "Maybe you just need a cup of tea and a lie down." I state matter of factly. The beasty appears from both sides of the back of his neck and I take my chance blasting it with my magic and I begin to grin as I'm destroying the little shit that wants to take my man away from me.
He loses consciousness and I can't see the tentacled beast anywhere. I tenderly kiss his brow 'You're going to be alright now my love.' I whisper to him before carrying him back to my home. I lay him down on my bed and carefully undress him apologising every time I remove a single piece of his clothing before laying down beside him and pulling the duvet over us as I wait for him to wake.
A few hours pass before he finally wakes. I'm so happy to see his eyes finally begin to flicker open as I gently brush my hoof through his soft hair. "Oh my stars darling. You're finally awake. You know you had me worried for a moment." I move closer to him and I slip and now I'm on top of him with my face in his...I'm so nervous but I need to do this, his life is at stake. I try to be fun and confident for him. "Oh my, somepony's eager! I try to tease as I make my way down between his legs.
This is it there's no turning back now. I close my eyes and lick the humans orbs realising they're nothing like a stallions...but in a good way before I dare myself to run my tongue up the length of his shaft. He instantly becomes hard and I'm so proud of myself that he likes my touch. Without a moments hesitation I bite my lip giving him a seductive look before spreading my hind quarters in the most couth way possible blushing as his erection is standing straight up through my crotch teats all the way to my belly.
I see the tentacles slowly beginning to appear again and realise time is short. I raise my hips until I feel his tip against my moist opening as I take hime inside me making me moan at his length filling me up and my head lurches back in ecstacy at the feeling of becoming one with this human. As I slowly grind my hips against his I feel my juices begin to flow as I feel my orgasm building my heart beats in my vaginal walls around his pulsing shaft that I've only dreamt about over the months since he arrived here.
I lean forward so my face is in his letting him know how much I love him as his dick slips deeper inside me I moan out loud as I feel my juices flowing down his thick shaft. "Oh I love your cock! Oh my stars darling! You're...making...me...cuuuum!!" I cry out throwing my head back in sexual gratification as my juices squirt all over his sexy body then I smile softly as I feel him ejaculate deep inside me, making me slowly rock my hips as I gently milk his last drops into me with my tight vaginal walls.
I look into his beautiful eyes and begin to kiss his face. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!" I let out trying to control myself as the adrenaline surges through me, finally giving him a kiss on the lips.
I see the black tenticled creature kick and wriggle as it finally loses it's hold and dies, it's horrible little corpse falls to the pillow. Normally I would be disgusted and use my magic to incinerate it but I stare at it a moment admiring it like some sort of trophy. My human looks confused a moment I think he's going to pass out again. I can't do anything but smile. I did it I saved my man's life and got to make sweet love to the man I truly love. "You're going to be alright now darling." I manage to tell him before he passes out as his body begins to heal.
I'm sitting here with my trusty sidekick Spike, drinking a cup of tea whilst writing a letter to Princess Celestia about the up and coming events when our latest human resident barges through my door. Hey what's the meaning of this? You can't just barge in here! I yell readying my protective spell as I'm unsure what he's about to do. 'He looks really upset and a little scared...what in Tartarus is going on?'
He's out of breath and doesn't seem what to do. "If you calm down, we can sit down and talk this through but you must calm down, I'm not your enemy." I point my hoof to a seat.
His shoulders slump and he sits down. "Sorry Twilight... I-I... Rarity...." His eyes narrow and his voice cracks.
'Oh my what's happened to Rarity? I know she was helping the human get rid of the symbiote...has something gone wrong? I hope she's alright?'
"Whats happened? Rarity's not with you, Is she alright?" I ask softly.
The human leaps up from his chair back into his tyrade. "Is Rarity alright??" What about me Twilight?" He yells at me. I restrain him in my magic as Spike cowers under my desk. "HEY! Calm down! We're only talking here and I don't know what's going on until you tell me! I have magic but I'm not a mind reader! Got it?" I take a few deep breaths calming myself down, advising him to do the same as I release the him. He looks a little rough and something is definitely up with him.
I replace the chair back and offer him to sit down again. He brushes himself down and sits down. "I'm sorry Twilight, truly. I-I Um...well since last week I've been constantly followed by Rarity..
everywhere! Wherever I've gone she's been there. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, then paranoia...then I realised far to late that she was actually stalking me! She's crazy! She knocked me out and took me back to her place and she...she..."
Just then there comes a knock from the open front door. "Hello? Twilight darling?" Rarity calls out.
The human leaps up again trying to hide, just what in Celestia's name is going on here?
"Keep that crazy bitch away from me Twilight!" He shouts out as Rarity comes and stands beside me looking a little puzzled.
The human picks up the chair and begins ranting again. "I get it! You're both in this together aren't you! You're both going to have your wicked with me!"
I raise my eyebrow putting my hoof to my forehead in despair. 'I have no clue as to what's happening here, but somepony better start explaining to me and fast!'
"Okay Rarity, you sit there and you put that chair down and sit on it...NOW!" They both sit down silent and quicker than I've ever seen before.
I look at Rarity and she seems a bit down hearted and unsure what's going on herself, I'll find out what the human was going to tell me before she arrived.
"Okay, So what were you going to tell me something before Rarity arrived?" He looked up seeming anxious and angry. "That crazy mare raped me!" He raised his voice pointing at the shocked unicorn.
I watch as Rarity's lip wobbles as tears fill her eyes as he carries on his rants whilst pointing his finger at her. I can only watch as Rarity leaps from her seat and runs off, then Spike jumps from under my desk and chases after calling her name to come back.
'I'm as angry as I'm confused now and I need to get to the bottom of all this...whatever 'this' is.'
"See Twilight, that's guilt! She knows she's wrong and she's running away!"
"Sit back down. Trust Rarity to make a hash of things..." I think out loud.
The human scrumples his face up. "What are you talking about?"
I make sure that he's sitting down as I gather my thoughts, I can't believe it's come to this, I only received word from Zecora yesterday telling me of the dilemma and wishing Rarity luck on saving her humans life.
I levitate Zecora's parchment over to me re-reading the facts before turning calmly to the human.
"Okay, if I speak will you keep calm and listen without interrupting me with angry outbursts? You must know that we are all on your side but you must listen to all the facts. This is the account of what happened over the past week."
I watch the human adjust in his seat pushing down whatever he wanted to say into the soles of his feet, before I begin.
"Okay, before you came to see me last week you had been to the Evergreen Forest where you were seen by Rarity who at the time was on a personal errand to see Zecora. Hmm, I thought you seemed a bit peaky when we spoke...anyway, she saw you eating berries and as she watched you walk away she thought she'd saw something black moving on your back. So after spending her time with Zecora, she mentioned what she thought she had seen on your back and to their shock they found it to be a lethal symbiote that had latched onto you...A-AH shush! I'm still speaking to you." I say as the human is about to retort before letting me continue. "Yes lethal and I am getting to how you are not dead right now, so if you'd care to listen I'll continue. So Zecora read up on the parasite and it turned out that the only way to kill it was to have sex with you." I watch a moment as the human pulls his face in disbelief. 'I wonder what Rarity actually see's in him. He's brash, rude and the ways he contorts his face, just...ewww...' I shiver with disgust before I continue.
"So, at that time all seemed lost for you because it said in Zecora's book that it couldn't be sex with just anypony it had to be through an unselfish act of love. Then Rarity admitted to Zecora that she's in love with you and has been wanting to ask you to be her special somepony for quite some time now. She even refused to do it at first, saying that if things progressed naturally between you both she wanted to make your first time together...special, as it should be. However once she was told that it would kill you by the end of the week she had to swallow her pride and make sure she done everything she could to save you."
I watch the human stir in his seat. "So you're telling me she saved my life by having sex with me? How does that work? And why didn't she just say something to me, instead of stalking around being creepy?" He huffs crossing his arms thinking a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions.
I roll my eyes at him. She couldn't make contact with you because the parasite would have gotten suspicious and killed you sooner then upon leaving your corpse, it would've likely planted itself inside Rarity, or whichever pony was closest to you to you at the time!" I see watch his attitude begining to change, I think he's begining to realise the gravity of the situation. "So you see if it wasn't for Rarity been so head over heels for you, we wouldn't be here right now...you wouldn't be here right now. Rarity didn't rape you. She thought she was making love to her crush to save his sorry life!" I stand and walk towards him so he feels the gravity of my words. "And you know what she told Zecora? She told her that she felt simply awful doing what she did, because she wanted it to be special and that parasite took that chance from her." I throw Zecora's scroll at him a little harder than I mean too, but he needs the wake up call. "Rarity is one of the most generous and kindest pony's I know and does not deserve this, she didn't rape you she saved your life by trying to show you how much she loves you! Now please leave...I have work to do." I slump my head as the human sits holding the scroll whilst mentally digesting the words I've threw at him.
He slowly rises to his feet. "Sorry Twilight..." I stop him sharply I'm to tired to speak. "Don't apologise to me. Apologise to Rarity. Go find her or don't. It's upto you. Nopony's going to force you to do anything you don't want."
He takes a deep breath and placing the scroll in his inside pocket he quickly leaves. I sit back down at my desk picking up my cup of tea noticing that my hooves are shaking with adrenaline, I flop my head down onto the cold wood and think of my friend Rarity.
************ ************
'I'm running aimlessly, I know that now as the adrenaline begins to burn off. My hooves are hurting and my lungs are burning as I'm breathing faster as my chest heaves for more air than I can breathe. I look around realising I'm on the outskirts of the forest and I begin to stop running and slow down. "How could he be so awful to me? I saved his life and he's being so mean to me for it. I-I don't understand, I did it all for him!" I say thinking out loud to myself to best try to understand what's going on. I feel absolutely awful, theres a part of me which wants to gallop home and cry as another part of me wants to see Zecora. I feel a cool breeze wash over me as I stand on the line between the Everfree Forest and Ponyville and feel a chill run down my spine.
I feel something watching me.
************ ************
After leaving Twilight's library, my head spins as I'm still taking everything in whilst re-running the memories through my head over and over again trying to make a sense of things. I sit down on the grass beside the park and take the scroll out beginning to read it. The full account as to what happened and how I nearly died because of my own arrogance...and poor Rarity, no wonder she was so nervous around me with all that on her shoulders. I really need to make a good apology for her and an even bigger thank you for saving my life.
I get to my feet and begin walking in the direction of her shop after a short while I can see it just up ahead when I smell the sweet fresh smell of the bakery and check my pockets for bits. Maybe I could start by buying her, her favourite lunch before and I make a bee line heading for the bakery. After some idol chit-chat, I leave with the food heading straight for Rarity's. I'm quite nervous as what to say, I feel such an asshole. As I open the door but there's a shout from behind me from the street. 'Ugh its Twilights pesky dragon friend.'
"Hey!...Rarity!...She's not home! I can't find her anywhere! He cries out heaving for breath. "Can you help her please?" I look at him a moment putting my hand to my forehead in despair. "Alright Spike, where did you see her last?" He took a few deep breaths. "I saw her galloping towards the outskirts of town towards the forest! I Hope she's alright!"
I hand him the box of food. "Okay Spike, you stay here and take care of this and I'll go find Rarity, she may come back here. Okay?" The dragon nodded his head slowly distracted by the food. "SPIKE!." I yell snapping him from his greedy thoughts. "Leave Rarity's food alone and wait here incase she turns up." He looks up at me and nods before heading inside. I look around for the quickest beeline to the outskirts of town as I begin to jog.
It's been almost an hour as I search through the forest until I see what looks like a purple rag up ahead. As I get closer I see that it's a clump of hair from Rarity's Mane or tail. Just as I shout her name I hear her in the distance yelling out at someone and I begin running to help her. As I get further up the track I hear growling and snarls, I go for my craft knife then remember that I've left it at the forge next to some plans that I'm currently working on. So I take my shirt off and wrap it around my dominant arm ready for any attack coming my way.
As I get closer I see Rarity tight against a tree with a wooden wolf circling her. "What the hell is going on?" I whisper to myself under my breath as I pick up a rock and throw at the creature.
"Hey! Get away from her!" It turns snarling at me but keeps it's attention on the frightened mare. I take this as blessing, as it means that I can move in on it until it either attacks me or runs away...either way I need to show it that I am the dominant here. I begin my own growling and snarling back at it, throwing another rock at it and I can now see it starting to size me up, wondering if it can take me. I watch Rarity out the corner of my eye. Whilst keeping eye contact with the wooden creature I speak low and soft to Rarity. "Rarity, I need you to start going to your right, reeeeal slooow on my next move. Then I suddenly let out a loud roar breaking the silence of the forest, throwing another rock at the wooden beast, I signal with my hand for her to start moving away. It snarls biting the air at me before turning to find that it's meal has gone. It turns it's full attention to me now and slowly stalks towards me but I'm already anticipating it's attack. It's going to jump on me at any moment...NOW!
It leaps through the air at me ready to sink it's teeth into my flesh in the matter of seconds its nearly on me but I quickly side step spinning around for momentum and I watch it land hard not ready to absorb the hard ground so soon and before it can think about what's just happened I bring my leg right up to my chest before stomping it down on its back end, grinning to myself as I see the wooden creatures hind legs buckle and shatter under my force. For a moment I begin revelling as I hear it yelp out and whimper. I move around to it's face and look at it straight in the eyes marveling in my victory. "I am Alpha!" I call out with a growl in my voice and stomping my foot down on its head sending a cascade of wooden splinters up into the air before the thing can cry out in it's defeat.
My blood is rushing, my heart is beating out of my chest and my hands are shaking as the adrenaline surges through me...to say I feel good right now is an understatement. I turn to find Rarity only to find her in pretty bad shape.
She's laying against a tree behind me, she's covered in mud and blood and she's losing consciousness. I take her face in my hand trying to open her eyes. "Rarity, look at me, keep your eyes open alright! Whatever you do just keep your eyes focused on me! Okay?" I sternly tell her as I hope my basic human first aid works on ponies too. "Rarity, can you cast your healing spell on yourself, for me?" She says something about 'joke plant' and her horn. I take a glance at her horn and it's bent over with little colourful spots on it. "What the hell?" The adrenaline is beginning to wear off and and I remember why she's out here in the first place.
She feels cold so I wrap my shirt around her the best I can while I hold onto her looking into her half closed eyes. "I'm so sorry Rarity, this is all my fault, I've been so stupid! You saved my life the other day and now I'm to pathetic to save yours." I feel tears filling my eyes but I see her open her eyes a little wider and she smiles weakly softly whispering. "I knew you really liked me under that facade darling..." She reaches her hoof to touch my face then goes limp. I'm not sure what to do and a cold mortal shiver runs down my spine.
I take a deep breath picking her up in my arms and run back towards town with her, thankfully we're not to far away from town and I begin to yell for help and right away a couple of mares and stallions soon begin showing up to see what all the commotion was. "PLEASE! RARITY NEEDS HELP!!"I cry out to them. Carrot Top and Big Mac gallop over to us. "Put her on!" Mac calls out turning to his side for me to flop the wounded unicorn over his strong back. My body burns and I put my hands to my thighs as my body tries to readjust itself back into normality as I try to take deep slow breaths then I hear "You're comin' to buddy!" I look up to see Carrot Top waiting for me to get on with Big Mac kicking up the dust as he rushed to the horsepital with Rarity. I pat him before I wearily climb on his back before following Big Mac's dust cloud.
************ ************
The Days pass in a fog of arguments and tears, 'I've really fucked up.'
I sit on a patch of grass on the edge of town absolutely lost. Poor Rarity, I didn't know she had those kinds of feeling for me. Where I'm from things like this are frowned upon, so I never even considered it. Since my arrival here in Equestria I've seen a griffon and a kirin, a pegasus and a crazy looking thing called a dis...or a Discord? So knowing what I know now about the parasite and how Rarity who did her absolute best to protect me and do everything she could to save my life, maybe going out with her wouldn't have been such a bad thing. When I think back to that day she was kinda cute and there was something about those big sapphire eyes....I slap my hand to my face, my head is like a bag of drowning cats. I'm about to stand when there's a shove in my back almost knocking the wind out my sails. "She wants to see you...NOW!" The cold feminine voice from behind spits.
I turn round to see Applejack standing over me her stetson casting a shadow over me. "Twilight?" I ask trying to steele my voice. She huffs at me. "No! Rarity wants tah see ya! Why in Tarnation she wunts tah do that ah can't begin tah fathom!" I slowly stand and gesture with my hand for her to lead the way. "Whut? Aw hell nah! Ah ain't no chauffer, you can get to that hospital yah darn self!" She yelled as she huffed her nose to the sky walking away towards her family farm.
I look around a moment before calling over to the farm pony. "Say AJ?" She stops abruptly and turns to me with a scowl. There's a million things I want to say but she's clearly not in the mood for any of them. I swallow hard. "I..err I'm pleased she's awake." She resides putting her head down as her anger fades. "Me to." She says softly. Whilst her armour is dented I feel a little braver. "You know, where I come from, humans have relationships with humans, anything else is frowned upon. That's why things have...you know, turned out the way they have. Maybe If I'd learned sooner how things are round here and what I know now perhaps I'd have noticed her attraction to me sooner and none of this would have happened. For what it's worth Applejack, I'm truly sorry."
I look to the ground and I can feel her staring into me, before I look up to meet her teary gaze. "Well maybe you'll get a second chance...maybe we'll all get a second chance." She said softly fighting back her tears before walking into the distance.
I look towards the town of Ponyville before heading to visit Rarity. We definitely need a long talk.
I walk through the maze of corridors of the hospital until I finally arrive at her bay. As I get to the door I'm really anxious and nervous as I double check that I look presentable as I run the things through my head as to what I'm going to say to her. I check the box of fresh pastries hasn't been damaged on the way, as I keep checking anything and everything just to hold off that second longer, I'm sure I'm walking straight into a shitstorm and she's going to chew me out and I deserve it.
I finally stop and take a deep breath before giving a timid knock on the door before going inside. I stop suddenly as she's fast asleep. This is the first time I've seen her since the day of the Timber wolf. I look at the fresh bandages still showing spots of blood where her deeper wounds are, but I know where I caused the deepest wound and no doctor or surgeon could do a damn thing to staunch that bleed.
I think of leaving her to her peace but I remember how she was there for me when I was unconscious, so it's only right that I'm here for her now. I look around a moment to see where I can put the box of treats down before quietly pulling a seat up to her bed.
As the time passes, I just sit there seeing her lost in slumber I watch her eyes flicker making me hope that she's dreaming of her good times with her friends, instead of the horrors which had put her here while she gently stirs deep in dreams.
She's almost like an angel laying here, in a sense she's already an angel because she's my guardian angel for saving my sorry ass life last week...I just hope I've done enough to save hers.
