The colt awoke to a slight nudging on his side to see a yellow color unicorn standing there with a fake smile. How did he know it was fake you might ask; because they always were.
“Well hello there, young colt. How are you feeling today?” the Doctor said still smiling.
The colt looked the doctor in the eyes and said “Better then yesterday, but not the day before.”
The unicorn seemed puzzled by what the colt said but quickly brushed it off to ask something else.
“Well, I am your doctor and my name is Dr. White Bandage, so is there anything you need to make your stay more comfortable?” the doctor said still using that fake smile.
“No” the colt replied coldly
“Oh, Ok then” the doctor a little surprised by the tone of his reply and his smile wavered but came back quickly.
“Well, I need to ask you some questions that alright with you?”
The colt just nodded his head as a reply.
The doctors smiled grew slightly bigger “Well ok then, but if you feel like you don’t want to talk about it just tell me to stop or we can skip the question and go to another one; no questions asked.”
The colt nodded his head again.
“Ok, so my first question is…What is your name is?”
“Next question”
The doctor stopped and looked at the colt his smile wavering but remembering that his promise did not push the subject.
“Who are your parents?”
“Next question”
“Where are you from?”
“Next Question”
“How did you come across those injures?”
“Next question”
At that time the doctor was frowning and was getting irritated by the colt evading his questions. The doctor
“Well, today is a special day. Do you know why?” The doctor said in a chirpy mood
“No” he said with the same tone but this time the doctor did nothing to show he felt anything.
“Well once a year the Princesses show up to the hospitals around Canterlot and today is the day that they visit the hospitals!” The doctor said with a real smile. Most likely due to him being able to suck up to the princesses for something.
The colt blinked “So what?”
The doctor stood there his smile crumbling to nothing. “So…so… so what?” The doctors eyes opened wide and his mouth opened in shock trying to form words.
“WHA- I mean, what do you mean so what?” the doctor said raising his hoof and pointing it at him. “These are the Princesses we are talking! The ones who raise the sun and moon, The ones who rule over all the land of Equestria and all you have to say is SO WHAT?!?!?!” the doctor yelled out the last part
“Yes”
The doctor was completely flabbergasted by the serious of the tone that he walked out of the room mumbling to himself.
The colt watched Dr. White Bandage leave without so much as a good by and the colt on the bed did not mind that at all for he had other things on his mind. Moving his hoof to his chin he began to gently tap it; if you listened closely as he tapped his chin it resembled a noise close to a hoof tapping metal. Putting his hoof back on the bed and he snorted
“Buck the Princesses”
Having said that the colt laid his head on the pillow and gently placed the blanket over him. Closing his eyes the last site the colt saw was a white picture less wall.
The colt awoke to noises outside his room.
“What do you mean he does not want to see us?” someone said from outside the door.
“Like I said I think it will in your best interest to leave this room alone. As far as I could tell from meeting the child he does not want to see you Princess .This voice the colt recognized was the doctor that was here earlier today. It seemed he got the clue that he did not want to see the Princesses.
“What did this colt look like?” a voice said that sounded oddly familiar to him.
“Well,” the Doctor holding on to that word with dear life “He is a colt with a black mane and darker fur and some other features”
“What other features?” The question sounded calm but the tone made it sound like it was with concern and anger. There was silence until the doctor gulped and spoke up.
“Scars”
There was a pregnant pause before the door flew open to show a white colored unicorn enter the room. He wore a little clip on tuxedo with a cutie mark of something you would see on a map. His blond hair covered his face until brushed it to the side showing his expression and it was not pretty. His expression showed pure anger as he walked to the colt and stopped in front of the bed. They stared at each other for what felt like hours until the tall unicorn breathed out a sigh of defeat.
“Damn it Wolf. How did you get in here this time?” The colt sitting in the bed sat up straighter and responded with while waving his hoofs dismissively “It was totally not my fault, Blueblood.”
Blueblood sat there with a look that screamed ‘Are you Bucking kidding me’.
Blueblood was staring at him while Wolf was rubbing the back of his head and whistling. Neither noticing four pair of eyes looking through the window in the door but it seemed that Blue blood was standing in front of the colt so they could not see him. Blueblood smiled and laughed
“Damn, Wolf what is that? Like the twelfth time this month?”
“Hey now, it was only ten.” Wolf said smiling
Blueblood smirked and started laughing which made Wolf laugh along with him. It was not a laugh of two strangers that found a common joke funny it was the laugh of two longtime friends remembering the past. “Sooo… How are you doing? Last I heard you ran off a snooty little marshmallow off at the Gala last week.” Wolf said trying to hold back his laughter
The prince looked down with a blush and said “Well, that’s what I tagged her as at first. She was super clingy and acted like one of the Canterlot wretches. But I guessed wrong.”
“How so?”
“Well she threw cake at me and proceeds to call me names that I will admit were kind of true.”
“So a normal day” said Wolf smiling
“Yup” Blueblood in his best country accent
Neither of the two could hold back there snickering at that and proceeded to laugh until both couldn't breathe. They both calmed down there laughing and continued there talk. “Well anyways how are you-“
“Blueblood, who are you talking too in there?” a voice outside the closed doors said
“No, Aunty please don’t come in…”
“Wait, you never did tell me who your aunts were Blueblo…”
All of the sudden a bright white Alicorn along with a smaller dark blue Alicorn walked in to the room. At first all the two alicorns saw were there nephew until they looked over at bed he was standing in front of. They both saw the colt sitting there staring at them with cold dead eyes. They saw the scars and the gaping hole in its cheek and both could not help but recoil in shock and disgust, even if it was barely noticeable.
“Aunty” Blueblood tried saying in a pleading tone “I need you to leave right now.”
Celestia recovered from her shock first and looked at Blueblood with a questioning glare “Who is your friend here and what do you mean we have to leave?”
“Celestia” Blueblood said a little more forcefully “I am asking you please leave for your own safety.” As blueblood was saying this he was moving toward the two trying to push them out the door. Luna noticed this and acted how a thousand year out of date Alicorn would. By pushing back…
“We will not do that nephew. We were told to talk to every child in this hospital and we will do just that.” Luna said punctuation those last words by taking a step around Blueblood. “Plus, we are the Princesses that control the celestial bodies what do we have to fear from.” She said smiling smugly before looking at Wolf.
If she took the time to look at the colt as she took those steps toward him instead of thinking so highly of herself she would have backpedaled to the door. Standing in front of the bed she looked at the colt more closely this time looking at each one of the scars and noticing something odd about them. Some looked like it there we made by cruel butchers and others looked like they were done by skilled doctors. None the less Luna still gagged from the hole in the cheek and permanent white smile from inside his mouth. She noticed something coming down his cheek and upon closer inspection saw that it was blood. For the first time since entering the room she looked in to the eyes of the colt all she saw was…
Disgust
Hate
Anger
Fury
Rage
The colt’s eyes were leaking trails of blood down the corner of his eyes but the blue in his eyes changed to pure blackness; as though his eyes were made of two black pits that lead to the center of the underworld and then underneath it.
“GET OUT”
Luna for the life of her could not move at all it was as though his face alone was holding her from movement. The anger in his voice could rival Sombra’s and then still stop a raging manticore that had been bitten by a hydra.
“GET OUT!!!!” the voice of the colt screamed as though thousands were dying, being tortured, and alone never seeing the light of day. The voice forced Luna to move.
She ran out of the room crying and screaming and tripping over her own legs trying to get away from the colt. “LUNA!” Celestia called out to her sister. Due to Luna standing right in front of the colt Celestia was unable to see what she saw but only heard the voice and it terrified her and after living for over a thousand years almost nothing terrified her. Celestia chased after Luna trying to stop her but did not have to take more than two steps out the door to see that Luna had collapsed in to a fetal position.
“LUNA!” screamed Celestia rushing to her sisters’ side.
“Please… please…” Luna said quietly and slightly twitching
Blueblood walked in to the hallway to see Celestia by her sister saying soothing words to her sister.
“Is she alright?”
Celestia turned to Blueblood with fury in her eyes. “What did that… Child… Do to my sister?!” Celestia spoke with a tone of pure anger.
Blueblood just looked over at Luna “In truth I did try to warn you, but you did not listen.”
Celestia stood up and walked over to Blueblood her eyes glowing. “I WILL NOT ASK AGAIN! WHAT DID THAT COLT DO TO MY SISTER!?”
Celestia’s voice made the air itself feel heavy and the ground shake and windows crack. A voice that would have usually sent Blueblood in to a crying fit made him chuckle which did not help sooth Celestia’s anger. “Let me tell you your answer with a question of my own. In that room there is a colt what race is he?”
Celestia was so overtaken by that statement that her anger diminished and she blinked confused.
“Well what is he?” Blueblood said raising an eyebrow
Celestia’s anger returned just not as strong to make her eyes glow. “Do not test me Blueblood.”
“I’m not Celestia; I will answer your question as soon as you answer mine.” Blueblood stated by giving Celestia a cold look.
Celestia was a little surprised by how strong willed Blueblood was being due to him usually being scared of even dirt touching his hooves. Celestia but on an authoritative look she had been wearing for a thousand years in courts.
“Well since he did not have…”
“WAIT! WAIT! WAIT. Let’s do it this way.” Blueblood said waving his hoof in front of Celestia stopping here from finishing her sentence.
Celestia wanted nothing more but to destroy her nephew right then and there but years of experience with ponies interrupting her made her able to calm herself down and listen. “Ok, what do you want done?”
Blueblood gave a smile like a child that asked its parent to listen to them and they did.
“Well, every time you answer a question wrong I will not tell you the answer to it, but I will just ask another question.” Celestia was about to say that was stupid but Blueblood started talking again. “But if you get a single answer right I will answer each of your questions from then on truthfully.”
Celestia thought about this for a couple seconds before nodding her head in agreement.
“Good. So first question is what the colts’ name is?”
“Wolf?” Celestia said doubtfully knowing this might not be correct.
“Wrong. Next question is what do you think happened to that colt?”
“He was abused as a child?”
“AH! So close but the answer is no.” Celestia looked like she wanted to send Blueblood straight to the sun but he just brushed it off.
“Next question is what race is the colt?”
Celestia smiled remembering that the colt inside the room had not wings or horn so obviously an earth pony.
“Earth pony, now I expect you to…”
“Wrong” Blueblood dead panned.
Celestia was a little taken back by him saying the colt inside the room was not an earth pony when he clearly had not wings or horn.
She was about to state that he was wrong when Blueblood spoke up again.
“And right as well.”
Celestia was at a loss for words for once. How could she be correct and incorrect about the colt in the room being an earth pony? It was mildly confusing at first until Blueblood spoke his next words.
“Since you were little right I will give you this. He is like you but only different due to missing two things.”
Celestia pondered those words for what felt like hours but could not understand there meaning, until like a spark from a match it came to her. The colt was like her but was missing two traits. He obviously looked like an earth pony but was not and was at the same time. And like a sledgehammer to the face Celestia finally understood. Celestia looked up to Blueblood with eyes of shock.
“DING, DING, DING, It looks like she got it folks that boy in there is an Alicorn, just without wings and a horn.” he said all the while frowning but with a happy tone.
“I don’t want to be alone. Don’t send me back please. Please. ple….” Luna said quietly repeating it over and over again while shacking as though she was in the tundra.
Celestia turned to her sister almost forgetting about her lying on the floor curled up.
“I would keep her warm for about an hour.” Blueblood said as Celestia enveloped her sister in her magic. “Go to the palace I will bring Wolf there so he can explain himself and apologize and for the love of you do not let him see Cadence.” Blueblood said while walking into the colt’s room. Celestia looked at the doors as they closed softly and looked back her sister before teleporting to the castle slightly confused by Bluebloods statement about her niece.
