>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.
