The pony and the truth
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI just read a lot of nice comments from all of you. And though I am busy, I thought.... 'What the fuck!' and decided you guys deserve another chapter in between the waiting.
Chapter 2: The pony and the truth
I awoke to one thing.... pain. I groaned as I breathed in and out through my nose.
'Okay... let's make a list...' I thought.
'First... I'm in FUCK loads of pain... AGAIN. Second... I can't move, and third... I've been taken to a hospital w- wait... HOSPITAL!?!?' I slightly began to freak out.
'Don't these people know anything!? Never.... EVER, under any circumstances.... go to a hospital... That's just asking for a walker to...' Then it hit me harder than a windshield.... no wait... that still hurt pretty bad.
'Wait... I didn't see any walkers..... I didn't see anything actually. No blood, no bodies, no shuffling, no cars. Wait, no cars. Maybe I landed in an Amish town or something. Hell... I didn't even see people, only... ponies...? They were so bright... I probably would have hugged it if I wasn't dieing. What was on it's forehead?'
Beeeep.
Beeeep.
Beeeep.
Beeeep.
'Waaaait... Amish don't use tech. Where the hell is that beeping coming from? The power's been cut off for more than 3 damn months!' I thought as I slowly opened my eyes. Barely.
They opened but only one actually saw any thing, the other only saw white. The other eye saw his friends covered in some bandages, mostly around the head and chest. Their masks were removed showing their faces. They both had short dark brown hair, Chris had a small 5 o'clock shadow while James had barely anything aside from some stubble. If their eyes were open you would see Chris' cyan blue eyes and James' apple green eyes. They were both lying on some small beds. I mean these beds were small. Like... elf size.
I then looked around the room we were all in. It was simple to say the least, all it had was a small coach for visitors, heart monitors and a window with the blinds pulled down. I heard two sets of feet, which sounded more like high heels, coming towards the door. I started to panic. All I saw to protect myself was my bandaged hands. When the door opened rather swiftly I almost bounded out of the bed. My attempt was futile to say the least as I simply fell face first onto the tile flooring.
"Aaaagh, what... the... fuck?" Was all I was able to say as I grabbed the bed with what little dexterity and strength my hands had left.
More pain was all came to mind as I stood up, although not as much as last time. In fact much less. Considering what I just went through I shouldn't even be able to move.
'Wait... I can move?' As a wave of joy hit me with that realization.
I let out the BIGGEST smile I could and looked to the door when I heard a small cough. What I saw shocked me......
'Wait is that...... the pony from my wreck?' This made my smile diminish, but it was still there.
I sat on the bed to ease the pain. It helped but not by much. Then I looked at the pony again. It had a lavender coat with a deep purple mane with a magenta stripe. In between the mane I saw what brought shock to my face... there was a horn sticking out of the pony's forehead.
'....'
Any thoughts I had hoped to even conjure up were quickly interrupted by the pony walking closer at a slow and cautious pace. She... at least I think it's a she, sat down in front of me. Then she looked me dead in the eye.
What happened next almost made me black out again.
"Hey there. Are you alright?" The pony spoke in a familiar caring voice.
'Heh.... heheh.... heh....'
Jaw meet legs, legs meet jaw....
Perspective change: Twilight - 1 Min before meeting Deckard<<<
'Okay Twilight... calm down. Maybe he woke up today. After all you did help fix him up. Yeah... he'll be up today... Aaagh who am I kidding.... but... maybe?' I thought with a tinge of depressed as I watched the door just down the hall get larger and larger as I neared it.
'Oh! Why do I even bother? I saw the injuries.... it's not like he's just gonna jump out the bed when I open that door...' I thought as I opened the door of his room.
*knock knock knock.... hello? Irony here!*
The moment I walked in and saw the creature it jumped straight out of bed and a fell face first onto the floor.
I was about to say something when it began to groan.
"Aaaagh, what... the... fuck?"
I would have winced at the language it used, but I was too shocked to do so because of it's sudden movement, so I just stood there. It grabbed the bed post and pulled him self to his feet. Then it stared off for a moment before a smile that could rival pinkie's spread across it's face. After a few moments of awkward staring I was out of shock just enough to cough... getting it's attention. It looked over at me and the creature's smile softened. I was saddened by this but kept my blank expression. It sat down on the bed and stared back at me. After a minute or so I slowly began to walk over to It. To show I was not afraid I looked it dead in the eyes... well... EYE. While remembering what Fluttershy told be about talking to strange creatures, I smiled gently, which I don't think he noticed... as I stared at him I sat in front of him. Nothing happened for a moment so I took in a silent breath and began.
"Hey there. Are you alright?" I asked in a caring tone.
His jaw dropped. I was confused by this because he talked to me at the crash area just fine.
'Well, he isn't from around here that's for sure... so maybe he is just confused....' Ya think?
"Are... you okay?" I asked. It shook it's head after closing it's mouth.
"..."
"..."
After a moment of silence it finally spoke."Y-Yeah,... I'm fine I guess..."
His voice sounded so much better now that he was fixed up. Then I started to remember what the doctor said...
Perspective change: Twilight - Shortly after bringing Deckard to the hospital<<<
"Twilight... I'm very sorry... but I don't think it'll make it." The doctor said in a sad tone.
"This creature has received numerous serious injuries. And almost all of them are around it's midsection and head."
I was silent for a moment with a look of shock fixed on my face before I just couldn't take it. "WHAT!?" I yelled from the waiting room.
"Nononononono! Can't you help it?" I asked starting to tear up.
A poor creature snagged from its home was about to die by my hooves.
"Well.." He began "Several of it's... from what I can only assume are... it's ribs are broken as well as, again only assuming, it's left shoulder. It also has a cracked skull and severe internal bleeding. How it has survived this long is a mystery." He finished.
"Well, what can I do to help?" I said wiping the tears and taking on a serious tone.
"Twilight, I'm truly sorry to say this, but you know nothing of healing magic..." He said trying to calm me down.
"Well... I can fuel your magic! I learned it to help out Rarity while she went on a 2 day stitching spree!" I said with triumph in my voice.
He sighed a bit then began to speak. "Well... alright... but I warn you... it won't be pretty." He said grabbing two gowns and masks.
"Alright, let save this creature!" I said as I walked with him. "Oh and one more thing," He said " It... is a he." This hit me like a rock.
Perspective change: Twilight - Present moment<<<
I continued to remember every last detail of what happened. The sound of bones snapping into place. The squish of skin being mended together... all converging with the pained, blood curdling screams.... My eyes had closed as soon as I started to remember but now they were clenched shut with tears fighting for freedom... After I had my emotions under control I opened my eyes and looked back up to the creature. He had a face of concern on.
"Hey you all right?" He said as he reached out.
I quickly nuzzled his claw as if this was the last time I'd see him. It was soft and warm like a blanket. He must have noticed this because he picked me up not two seconds after I began. He set me down next to him and looked at me with concern filled eyes and spoke.
"Hey, come on what's wrong?" The look on his face afterward was that of which somepony would have after doing something stupid.
*Deckard's thoughts* 'I literally just spoke to a pony....'
I looked at him and the tears started to come back... only this time I couldn't stop them... I wrapped my forelegs around him and bawled into his chest. I thought he was going to push me away, but he didn't. Instead he wrapped his arms around me and kept saying comforting things like, "Shhhh. It alright, just let it out... let It out."
After a good ten minutes of crying I reduced to sniffling and the occasional choke up sob. At one point he moved me on to his lap as he held me. It felt nice to know he was concerned for me... a complete stranger he met after he crashed. He didn't even know my name...
"Hey, by the way whats your name?" He chuckled.
*Irony says Hi*
The vibration from his chest soothed me a little, not by much but a little.
"T-Twilight..Twilight Sp-parkle." I choked out.
"Well... my name is Deckard. Pleased to meet you." He said with a small smile. I hugged him tighter after that.
Then I had a thought.
'I have to tell him.' I thought as a small sob came out.
Perspective change: Deckard<<<
'Well, this has been the most random day ever' I thought
'I woke up from a black out just after pulling my friends out of a wrecked truck, I then proceed to jump up like nothing happened and just faceplant on the ground, and to make thing even stranger, I'm comforting a purple pony... no... UNICORN... I think... that also probably saved my life. Jeez... next thing you know I grow wings, a horn, and some fur!' I yell in my brain.
'Tee hee! Oh you silly filly! We both know that's not possible!' Said a cheery voice startling the shit out of me throwing me into a trance.
"Um, Deckard?" The small pony said snapping me out of the shock induced trance, as I looked at her she looked so sad... but so damn cute... MUST RESIST... URGE... TO HUG....!
"Yes, Twilight?" I said with an awkward smile.
"Well I know you've only known me a short time but I have a confession." My eyes went wide at this and my smile dropped to a confused expression.
"Wh-what do you mean?" I said putting on a fake smile.
"Well... do you remember how you got here?" Oh thank god... I thought that...naaaw that was a ridiculous thought.
'Tee hee! Your funny!'
'Get out of my head you damn voice!'
Silence.
So I turned back to Twilight after my ninth dose of crazy for today.
"Heh, not really... I remember driving into a purple portal and then crashing. Aside from that... nothing comes to mind."
Twilight paused for a moment and took in a slow breath. "Well... that portal... that brought you to this place... to a completely different dimension..." She paused for another moment then let out a pent up breath. "Was caused by me..." She tensed up as if she was waiting for me to react.
After a moment of silence I couldn't take it.
"Pfffft....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I fell backwards clutching my sides from the pain. I had completely forgotten about my bandages. "Hahaha...hehehe..heh, oww..." I said in pain... once again...
"Wait, why are you laughing?" She said, looking at me confused as I got back onto the bed.
"Well, you see, only serious tech could open a portal to another area in my world, much more to go to another dimension." I said as I let out a hardy chuckle.
"Tech? I didn't use any of that. I used magic!" She said in a DUH sort of fashion.
This only brought out more laughter. "I'm serious!" She said with a huff.
"Sure you are miss magic!" I said giggling.
"Well what do you think this is for?!" She said pointing to the horn on her head.
That was actually a good question. "Well if you can do magic prove it" I said giving a giant smirk.
"Fine! What would you have me do?" She said in a Challenge accepted manner.
I stroked my chin feeling the beginning of a beard appearing on my face. 'Odd, I hardly had any facial hair when I got here. Oh well'
I looked around for a moment before I smiled and looked back at Twilight.
"Okay, levitate that couch if you can do magic!" I challenged.
"Okay fine!" She said with another huff.
She began to stare at the coach for a moment. After a second or two it was encased in a purplish glow, as well as her horn. It soon lifted two feet off the ground. Needless to say my jaw dropped and I gawked. She on the other hand just smirked. Then a thought hit me.
'If what she says is true... and I'm in another dimension. Then... that means....' A massive smile appeared again only this time it was bigger.
"Twilight... do you realize what you've done?" I said shaking and twitching.
"Oh Celestia, please don't be mad at me!!" She said grabbing me and tearing up.
Must... not.... hug.....
Perspective change: Twilight<<<
"Mad... MAD?!" He shouted jumping up and grabbing me and lifting me up as he stood. "HOW COULD I BE MAD?!"
"Wait, what!?" I said looking up at him with pure confusion. I then noticed the massive smile adorning his face.
"YOU JUST SAVED ME AND MY FRIENDS FROM A HELLISH WORLD!!! YA HOOOOOO" His sudden outbursts made all my guilt of taking him away from his home become replaced by confusion....
"I'll explain later! Right now I need to-" his face turned into one horror as we heard a loud crack.
"Twilight, where. Is. My. Truck..." He said turning dead serious.
"Your what?" I said starting to shake in his claws.
"MY TRUCK!! The.. The big metal carriage!" He said putting me down.
"OH! That, it's still in town but the contents of it where taken to my home. Why?" I asked starting to worry.
"Do you have any children? Or younger siblings?" He asked now turning frantic.
"Yes, I have Spike. He's only a baby though."
"TWILIGHT, we need to get to your house! Fast!!" He said picking me up again.
Now I was worried too. "A-Alright... hold on... I'll teleport us!"
"Tele-?" He began before getting cut off by the spell.
'I hope Spike's alright...' I thought.
Perspective change: Deckard<<<
There was a bright flash of purple light and a loud POP! noise. After the light faded we were in a house with shelves upon shelves of books adorning them. Then I felt a draft down in my nether regions.
"Uh T-Twilight... does your teleport thingy teleport clothes?" I said feeling a blush coming around.
"No, It doesn't... why?" She said looking at my eyes As I was still holding her.
"Well, could you teleport my clothing to me?" I said as my face reached the color of a tomato.
"Yes, but why?"
"I'll tell you if you do it..."
"Fine here." She said with a huff as a pair of boxers, jeans, and gown appeared.
"Thanks!" I said setting her down with her looking away from me.
"Don't look." And with that I got dressed as fast as I possibly could.
"Okay you can turn around n-" Then I remembered what I was doing. "WAIT WHERE IS THIS SPIKE?!" I yelled and frantically began searching.
I was about to give up hope until I heard a sound I had not heard in my world for ages.
Crying.
It was coming from a door down the hallway of the house. I shot towards the door at lightning speed. The moment I reached it I opened it. Inside was a small set of stairs leading down. I just jumped down them and continued running. What I saw almost made me want to cry myself.
There it was a small purple lizard like creature sobbing as it held the side of it's head. Other than that I saw only one thing. The one thing I had seen to much of and seeing more almost made my heart freeze in terror and pity.
Blood.
