- >You struggle against your constraints helplessly, your muscles not responding.
- >”Please don’t do that, you’re going to hurt yourself worse.”
- >Worse! How the fuck could things get any worse!
- >A brace holds your jaw against you as you grunt frantically.
- >You’re going to kill them! You’re going to make them wish they were never born!
- >Once you get out of here, you’ll head back to Los Pegasus and exact your revenge.
- >There will be no place for them to hide.
- >Twilight’s talking with Fluttershy, making sure to keep their voices hushed.
- >”Guess ya didn’t kill that dragon huh?”
- >Her snide remark only fuels your rage.
- >You fight at the restraints, the sheer pain keeping you down.
- >”Whoa now, don’t get your saddle in a twist.”
- >Death, so much death.
- >The doctor enters, carrying his clipboard.
- >”Anon, well this is a surprise. We didn’t expect you to come ‘round.”
- >Real reassuring.
- >”Is he going to make it Dr. Stable?”
- >”Given enough time, yes he should recover, but he’s been through so much…”
- >Don’t pander about you asshole, give it to me straight.
- >He picks up on your glare, shuffling a bit.
- >”It’s not necessarily- a full recovery.”
- >You mother fucker. You fix me up you piece of shit!
- >Damn these bindings, damn Equestria!
- >”You’ll live, but your adventuring days are over.”
- >He draws up some diagrams, showing various parts of your body.
- >”I thought you’d wind up in the morgue with these injuries. You’re a resilient young man.”
- >And you’re going to find what the inside of your ass feels like if you don’t fix me up.
- >He points out several injuries to the p0nies, marking where the damage was sustained.
- >”If he takes things easy and lets himself heal, he’ll be up and walking in no more than six months.”
- >You don’t fucking have six months! They’ll be gone by the time you get out.
- >”So he’s going to be here for that time?”
- >”I’m afraid so ma’am. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have other patients to attend to.”
- >You grunt in response as he leaves you with the others.
- >It’s pointless, you’re going to be stuck here whether you like it or not.
- >”Poor Anon, not so mighty anymore now are ya.”
- >”Applejack please, he’s been through a lot.”
- >”You heard what he’s done! Been here just a day and caused so much harm. He deserves this.”
- >Well fuck you too lady.
- >”No one deserves this, not even after what he did. Besides aren’t you forgetting? He saved Fluttershy.”
- >”No doubt in his foolish act of heroics.”
- >Bitch, you’re a hero, it ain’t an act.
- >”Regardless, we should help him. It’s not right to just let him sit here.”
- >”And why in Equestria would we do that?”
- >”Because that’s what we do. There’s good deep in there somewhere, we just have to find it.”
- >A nurse enters the room, carrying an IV along with her.
- >”Good evening Nurse Redheart.”
- >”Same to you Twilight.”
- >She plants the IV down next to you, grabbing the end.
- >She pulls out the needle, pressing it against your arm.
- >Fuck that bitch!
- >You squirm relentlessly forcing her to pull back.
- >”Please be still, I need to insert the IV.”
- >Applejack chuckles, “What? Anon afraid of a little needle?”
- >You struggle against the brace, freeing yourself from its restraint.
- “Fuck you Applejack!”
- >”Anon please, let me put that brace back on.”
- ”You can piss of lady. I’m not letting you touch me.”
- >”Twilight, Rarity. A little help?”
- >Their horns illuminate, though their efforts are for not.
- “You can’t hold me back.”
- >”You…”
- “Cat lost her tongue?”
- >Applejack steps up next to you, pressing down on your stomach.
- >You clench your teeth painfully and arch back.
- >This gives the nurse enough time to latch you back into your cast and insert the IV.
- >Struggling only leads to more pain, and they wait for you to die down.
- >”We’ll be back tomorrow Anon. Stay well.”
- >That’s right you better leave. I didn’t even want you here!
- >The door closes, the lights losing their glow.
- >Fuck Ponyville.
- >You sit there for hours unable to sleep.
- >How does anyone just sit here? It’s so boring.
- >The clock ticks away, birds chirping outside.
- >You hear a slight creak, shooting your head over to the door.
- >A shadow slips inside, darting at incredible speeds.
- >The culprit joins you at your side, his voice deep and gravely.
- “I heard what happened. I’m sorry.”
- >The fuck?
- >He pulls out a book and turns on the light, making himself behind the lamp.
- >”This helped me get through my time here.”
- >Daring Do? He’s not seriously going to…
- >He begins reading it, his voice fluctuating between high and low.
- >You just lie there and take it.
- >You’d rather listen to the birds.
- >He’s about an hour in when there’s a knock at the door.
- >”Hello, visiting hours are over. I’ll have to as-“
- >She spots the individual, the two staring at each other.
- >“Security!”
- >”I’ll finish this later,” he says flying out of the room’s window.
- >Damn, as soon as things started getting interesting.
- >The nurse comes over to you, “Are you alright?”
- >You nod, earning a smile in return.
- >”Good, I wouldn’t want her to have all the fun.”
- >Wait what?
- >She pulls out a vial, the milky yellow substance churning your stomach.
- >”Do you know what this is?”
- >You nod, being quite familiar with the stuff.
- >“And you know what it’ll do to you if I put it in here don’t you?”
- >You nod having experienced its effects the hard way.
- >She takes out her syringe, drawing out a substantial amount of it.
- >“Hydra venom is hard to find around these parts, thankfully Zecora was willing to part with a vial.”
- >She penetrates the IV, placing her hoof on the plunger.
- >”I can’t let you just walk out after what you did to that child.”
- >You squirm slightly as she presses down on the plunger, the liquid mixing with the IV’s contents.
- >”I’ll see you in the morning Anon.”
- >She gives you a peck on the head, turning and leaving the room.
- >All you can do is wait, watching as the venom rolls into you.
- >You feel your mind drift away as you slip into a deep sleep.
- >You begin to stir once more, a purple hoof waving in front of you.
- >”Anon, are you okay?”
- >Like she said, she’d be back.
- >She’s here with Applejack and Fluttershy again, Nurse Redheart nowhere to be seen.
- >You shake your head, looking down at your cast pleadingly.
- >”You want me to take it off?”
- >”Don’t do it sugarcube, don’t give him the pleasure.”
- >”Maybe he needs to tell you something?” Fluttershy peeps.
- >She takes a deep breathe, moving your cast out of the way.
- “Closer,” you whisper, trying not to alert the nurses.
- >You can feel the effects fire back up, your limbs heating up.
- >She places her head next to yours, “Yes?”
- “Get me the hell out of here.”
- >She sighs moving away, “You really haven’t learned anything yet have you?”
- >She’s about to turn away and leave.
- “Please!”
- >The words hurt just to say.
- >She looks at you, your eyes begging for her help.
- >You won’t last another hour with this stuff pumping through your veins.
- >”What do you want me to do?”
- >”Twilight you can’t be serious now? He’s a monster.”
- >”He’s trying to reach out.”
- >”He’s tryin to play you, don’t you see?”
- “If you don’t get me out of here now, I’m never leaving this hospital alive.”
- >They both eye you suspiciously, “And what exactly do ya mean by that?”
- >You can’t exactly tell them that your nurse poisoned you.
- >They’d never believe that.
- >You look at the IV, its tainted liquid trickling in your veins.
- “It’s that.”
- >”A needle ain’t gonna kill ya you big babby.”
- “It’s not the needle you dumb cunt!”
- >”That’s no way to ask for help.”
- “It’s what’s inside that’s killing me.”
- >”Good try, but I’m not falling for it.”
- “Please, you have to trust me.”
- >”Trust goes both ways Anon, and you haven’t given us that chance.”
- >Fitting that you’d die in a hospital. You lean back in your bed defeated.
- >Fluttershy takes a closer look at the IV, taking a dollop and tasting it.
- >She spits out the substance, and gives a look of horror.
- >”Oh no…”
- >She yanks out the IV, a stream of blood jetting from your arm.
- >Flying over to the medicine cabinet she rummages through its contents, tossing vials away without a thought.
- >”Fluttershy what’s gotten into you?”
- >”No time.”
- “Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhe…”
- >Your mouth numbs, the heat pulsing through you.
- >”Got it.”
- >She hovers back over to you.
- >A vial is pressed to your lips, the grotesque liquid flowing into you.
- >It hits you like a train, regaining feeling in your body and quenching the heat.
- >You gag, the taste still ghastly.
- “Fucking finally. Someone who helps me.”
- >You breathe deeply, taking in the scent of life.
- >”Are you alright?” Fluttershy asks.
- “Been better.”
- >”You- I- What-“
- “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”
- >Fluttershy stays quiet, knowing that you’re right.
- >”Fluttershy?”
- >”You wouldn’t believe me.”
- “Like I said.”
- >Fluttershy applies pressure on your wound to stop the bleeding, unknowingly sending pain shooting up your arm.
- “For fucks sake, be a little more careful.”
- >She gives you a pained expression and backs away, your blood flowing out again.
- “Well don’t stop!”
- >You’re conflicting order confuses her as she lightly presses down on the vein.
- “Thanks Fluttershy, you’re a life saver. Literally.”
- >You relax, crisis averted.
- >Bullshit, you can’t rest! That bitch almost killed you before, you need to get out of here.
- “Alright Twilight, are you going to get me out of here or not?”
- >She’s still processing the entirety of what just happened.
- “Earth to Twilight. You home?”
- >She escapes from her thoughts looking back at you.
- >”I- I don’t know. Where could you go?”
- >”He sure as hay ain’t bunking with me.”
- “I wouldn’t give you the pleasure.”
- >”Both of you stop it. Your banter isn’t getting us anywhere.”
- “I will if she will.”
- >”I will if you will.”
- >”I’ll take him.” Fluttershy squeaks.
- >”Until we figure this out you aren’t going anywhere,” Twilight says.
- >”He can stay with me,” she says again a bit louder this time.”
- >”Good luck with that. Like anyp0ny would care for his flank.”
- >”I said I’ll take him!”
- >Twilight and Applejack are speechless from her outburst.
- >Fluttershy bows down a little, “I mean, if that’s alright…”
- >”You sure sugarcube? Ya don’t have to.”
- >”I know… I want to.”
- >Hot damn, you might get to break her in after all.
- >Well, she might break you in the process… You now have an unnatural hatred for boulders.
- >”Is that alright with you Anon?”
- “Suits me just fine. Just hurry it up will ya?”
- >”Fine, but when this is over I want an explanation.”
- “Deal.”
- >”Applejack, can you push the bed while we steer?”
- >She begrudgingly moves behind you, placing her hooves on the handles, leaning over you.
- >You take in the sight, getting a nice view of her underside.
- “Damn, that’s enticing.”
- >She presses a hoof on your shoulder, shutting you up as you grimace in pain.
- >What a bitch.
- >Twilight opens the door as you’re eased through and into the hall.
- >The halls are basically empty except for the four of you.
- >There must be a lack of boulder injuries in this wing.
- >Leading you down the hall, you approach reception.
- >Twilight goes to the desk and starts talking with the mare.
- >”I’m sorry Ms. Twilight, but there’s no way Doctor Stable would allow it.”
- >”I’d like to ask him myself if you don’t mind.”
- >”You can try, but don’t get your hopes up.”
- >The nurse places her hoof on the intercom.
- >”Doctor Stable, your presence has been requested at reception.”
- >”Thank you,” she walks back beside you.
- >”I’m going to have to put that brace back on you now.”
- “Fine, just don’t fuck up.”
- >She slides it around your jaw, locking in place.
- >You wait there until the doctor arrives.
- >That bastard needs to hurry his happy ass up.
- >”Good morning, how are the three of you doing this morning.”
- >”Fine as always.”
- >”And how is our little patient?”
- >Fucking fabulous, I love not being able to move without cringing. Thanks for asking.
- >”He’s been better.”
- >No shit lady.
- >”I’m guessing you are the ones who called me down in the first place?”
- >”Yes we were. I’d like to request that Anon be moved, somewhere outside of the hospital.
- >The doctor gives her one look and shakes his head.
- >”Anon needs proper care Miss Twilight. I must reject your proposal.”
- >Proper care? Your fucking nurse poisoned me you tool!
- >You try and fight the cast again, desperate to get a word out.
- >”He’s hemorrhaging. Nurse!”
- >Nurse Redheart trots over to the doctor, giving you a glance.
- >”Get me a sedative on the double.”
- >You shake your head and relax, emphasizing your control.
- >”See doctor? He’s not getting the proper care here. If he were to stay with us-“
- >”He could become paralyzed completely. The repercussions could be devastating.”
- >I don’t care, just get me out!
- >”He’d be in Fluttershy’s care, at least to start. She knows how to look after injured creatures right?”
- >Fluttershy nods, the doctor sighing dejectedly.
- >”Who exactly would he be staying with?”
- >Finally a sensible thought appeared in that rotting brain of his.
- >”Fluttershy, myself, and likely my close friends.”
- >”What in the hay are you on-“
- >Twilight forces her hoof in her mouth.
- >Doctor Stables eyes her suspiciously, “And they agree to it?”
- >”Not exactly, but they’ll come around.”
- >The doctor rolls his eyes, giving you a look over.
- >”You’d need Anon’s consent as well.”
- >”That we have, isn’t that right?”
- >You nod.
- >”Doctor, here’s the sedative you… What’s going on here?”
- >”Twilight and her friends are taking custody of Anon.”
- >”You can’t seriously be allowing this? Think of the patient!”
- >Bitch, go choke on a cock.
- >”The more I do so, the more I agree with them.”
- >”Sir?!”
- >”Anon requires constant care, and we can’t meet those demands.”
- >That’s right bitch, suck it.
- >”Twilight and her friends have proven themselves time and time again. I trust them.”
- >How does it feel to have your plan spoiled huh?
- >”We’ll take good care of him Ms. Redheart.”
- >Better than she did no doubt.
- >”Now, there is some paperwork you have to sign. If you’ll join me at the desk…”
- >Fluttershy, Applejack and Twilight follow him, leaving you alone with Redheart.
- >She glares at you, her voice hushed.
- >”I don’t know how you’re still breathing, but mark my words I will get you back.”
- >Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
- >”The last thing you see before you die is my face, because you don’t scare me.”
- >You jut your head forward, the nurse recoiling.
- >So much for not being scared.
- >You’d laugh if it didn’t hurt to breathe.
- >She leans closer, undoing your cast.
- >Before you can say a word she forces her lips to yours.
- >You can’t fight it, might as well enjoy it.
- >Before long she pulls away, placing you cast back on you.
- >”You’re good, I’ll give you that. Might have to steal those lips before you die.”
- >Okay, now that’s just downright creepy.
- >”See you around big boy.”
- >She parts with you just as the others return.
- >Applejack looks pissed, which can only mean one thing.
- >Someone’s getting out whose name start with ‘An’ and ends with ‘on.’
- >”Remember, he’s to stay in bed for the month. After that, should his condition improve, he can start moving around.”
- >Sounds good to you, the sooner you get out, the sooner you can get revenge on those back-stabbers.
- >”We understand doctor.”
- >”And no unnecessary movement. So you’ll have to feed him, bathe him, clean him, everything you would do for a pet.”
- >You aren’t some animal you little shit. You’re motherfucking Anon.
- >”We’ll take good care of him.”
- >You will if you know what’s good for you.
- >He gives Fluttershy a small parcel with a pair of patient’s clothing inside.
- >They weren’t meant to fit you, but they’re better than walking everywhere stark naked.
- >Actually, that doesn’t sound like that bad of an idea.
- >It removes the biggest obstacle between you and any good looking mare you see.
- >Hell, the state you’re in, you’ll be lucky just to get to a mare, let alone with.
- >You shake yourself from your thoughts already exiting the damned hospital.
- >The sun… oh god the sun…
- >Why does it have to be so bright?
- >You take one last look at the hospital, Nurse Redheart standing by the door.
- >She grins, waving at you.
- >Something about that is downright unsettling.
- >Down the path you travel, back into Ponyville.
- >Something tells you going back there is going to be a bad idea.
- >All that talk you gave. You’ll be the biggest laughing stock of the town.
- >Trixie never fucked up this bad.
- >Fuck that’s depressing, Trixie turned out better than you.
- >You’re going to live in eternal shame.
- >The p0nies stop and stare as you’re rolled through time.
- >You can hear them gossip amongst themselves.
- >The great hero Anon, reduced to a vegetable.
- >”Don’t listen to them Anon,” Fluttershy consoles you.
- >Your entire existence has crumbled around you, leaving nothing more than a shell of a man.
- >The worst part of it is that you can’t even confront them about it.
- >Here you are, weakened and alone, vulnerable.
- >”Ya know they’re right Fluttershy. He should’ve never come here.”
- >”Don’t talk like that Applejack,” Twilight responds, “Things happen for a reason.”
- >You’re pretty sure the reason isn’t to be crushed under a ton of rock.
- >You finally get through Ponyville, following the dirt road out of town.
- >”Fluttershy’s cottage is outside of town so you’ll be able to rest in peace.”
- >You move against your cast, Fluttershy helping you out by removing it.
- “About time, I was going to chew through that fucking thing.”
- >”Anon, we have some rules of our own.”
- “Oh boy, isn’t this just perfect. Hit me.”
- >Applejack knocks you upside the head.
- “I didn’t mean literally you dumb cow.”
- >She smacks you again, “I know.”
- >”Rule 1: You will behave yourself. We’re giving you a chance, don’t make us regret it.”
- “Whatever, next.”
- >”Rule 2: You will obey us to the letter, for your own safety.”
- “Pfft, good luck with that.”
- >She glares, “And finally Rule 3: You promise to leave our town when you get better.”
- “Like you have to make me promise that. You’ll be dust in the wind.”
- >”I’m glad we understand each other.”
- >You come to the cottage next to the forest, a serene location if you’ve ever seen one.
- >It’s a good place to start, but you won’t be looking back on it in the future.
- >”This is your last chance to turn back Fluttershy.”
- >”I know.”
- >”Ya still want to keep him sugarcube? I mean, he’s not worth the trouble after all.”
- “I’m lying right here you know.”
- >”He sacrificed his life to save me, the least I can do is help.”
- >”Well, if you’re certain…”
- >Twilight nudges Applejack off the bed, Fluttershy taking her place.
- >”He’s all yours Fluttershy. Stay safe.”
- >You’re pushed towards the cottage, the first stage of recovery only just beginning.
