Acceptance

Chapter 6: With Teeth

"So...tell me, is everything going perfectly well?" Doctor Levamentum asked sitting in front of The Patient's bed. The Patient was glaring angrily at him, causing the doctor to only look at him with a grin on his face. The doctor had a notepad in his hooves with a pencil in his mouth. He looked at his notepad and back at the Patient before setting it down to the ground. "Do you have something to say?" The Patient stood silent, not breaking his angry glare. Levamentum sighed rubbing his forehead in frustration. "Patient #567, you know that I am only doing this to see if the other doctors and nurses are treating you well. I can't help you if you are going to remain quiet."

"Does it really matter, doctor?" The Patient asked.

"..." Levamentum looked at him calmly before grinning again. "It sure does." He said.

"Well they have." He amswered.

"Have? Have been doing what?" He asked.

"They have been treating me well!" He said raising his tone.

Levamentum looked at The Patient with an amused expression before getting up from the ground. He picked up the clipboard and toss it on top of the dresser not breaking his glare with The Patient. "You know...I am having a hard time in believing you, Patient #567."

"What is there to believe when you know everything that you are seeking for is not going to allow you to recieve." The Patient said squeezing his hooves on the sheets.

"Do I look like the pony who is trying to recieve something? You know why I am here, so tell me. What did Celestia tell you?" He asked.

"She told me not to talk to you, so if you kindly mind. Leave the room or I will call the other doctors and nurses to remove you from this room." He said only earning a hoof stomp to the ground causing him to jump in fright.

"Do you think I am going to fall for that kind of horse shit. I know what you two were talking about, so you better tell me, or else." Levamentum demanded. The Patient looked at him frightfully before his frighten expression turned into a grinning one. "Why are you grinning?"

"I am sure you can easily guess why I am grinning, doctor. Just like the time you saw Mr. Sundertear grin when you were asking him questions that weren't similiar to the ones you are asking me, but they do correlate with one another quite well." He said calmly.

"How do you know that?" Doctor Levamentum asked looking at The Patient surprised.

"You spoke to him in this very room, this very room that you hate being in because he was in here. You did the same with his wife, before the incident." He said softly chuckling. The doctor looked at him still with a surprised expression. He watched him grit his teeth before looking out of the window, staring at the moon in the night sky. But that was soon interrupted when the doctor closed the curtains on him. "Doctor?" He muttered, looking down at him with dissappointed expression.

"You listen here, whoever you are, you are going to tell me someway or the other on what you and Celestia were talking about." He demanded becoming even more angry. The Patient only chuckles as he stares into the doctor's eyes with no signs of fear being expressed. This Patient simply was just taunting the doctor with his grin. He was looking deep into his eyes with his faded blue.

"Doctor, leave...I won't be asking you to do this again any time soon. I promise you, I will not hold myself responsible if you continue to stay here and make me feel..." He brushed his mane back before chuckling. "Uncomfortable than I already am."

"I'll leave..." Levamentum groaned looking down defeated. But he soon looked up and glared hatefully at the Patient's faded blue eyes. "But I want you to tell me how you do you even know my previous patients?"

"I will be kind to answer that for you, doctor. You think that what you say in this room stays in this room? It does. Everything happens for a reason, Levamentum. You can say whatever you want, influence, manipulate, kill, and reborn anything in this room. However, what's heard in this room, stays in the room, what goes on in this room, stays in this room, whatever you do or anypony else does in this room, stays..." He motioned the doctor to finish his sentence.

"Stays in this room." Doctor Levamentum said playing along with the Patient's explaination.

"Exactly. But haven't you ever wonder that...the two patients that you worked on for so many years before they took a leap of faith off of their chairs and into heaven's cold hollow air. They were not normal. They were like me, except they were trying to do one thing that never suceeded." He said in a venomous tone.

"What are you getting at?" Doctor Levamentum asked.

"Kill the voices. They failed and now I am the only one left. I cannot go through this again, I cannot go through this again, I cannot go through this again, I cannot go through this again." He said holding onto his head trembling. "I cannot go through this again, Doctor Levamentum. Nopony can when it involves them being in the same situation that I am in. Do you understand?" He asked.

"No." He shook his head confused.

"The Black Sun...the very thing we cannot run away from." He said glaring angrily at him.

"That's what, "Mr. Sundertear told you. I know." He interrupted him.

"Doctor Levamentum, I gave you enough information that you can piece in together like a puzzle, now it is your turn to do me a favor, just as I done yours. I want you to go to Canterlot, enter into Celestia's study room, and destroy the letters that she took from the Sundertear's house. Once that is gone, I want you to head over to Peach Glow's home and take her to the Sundertear's house. After you are both there, I want you to force her through the mirror located in the basement." He said before pausing and glaring at the curtains. "Nevermind about the mirror, it appears somepony was curious and founded out about the mirror in the basement. Fine, change of plans for her, take her up stairs, but be sure you do not, at all, take her to the basement. I will be watching you, trust me, I will. Do that...and I will tell you everything that you are seeking for." The Patient said smiling softly.

"What do you plan on doing to her when I get her up stairs?" He asked suspsiciously.

"Take her to the master bedroom and you shall find out." He said.

"What are you?" He asked backing away to the exit.

"Me? I am like every other pony. A pony who is right where he belongs in this world." He said calmly. Levamentum looked at him for so two whole minutes before he sighed and left the room. The Patient chuckled looking at the mirror. "It appears we are going to see each other very soon...my old friend." He said smiling. But his own reflection did not smile back. "Soon...everything will settle. We will be free, together, if we will be anything of anything at all."
