Dinner was nasty but at least I wasn't hungry anymore. After I was done eating I laid down and tried to relax and keep in mind that Twilight would have my medication soon. I couldn't go to sleep and after an hour of laying there I decided to see if Luna was at the castle ruin. By the time I was half way there I started getting headaches again. Hopefully nothing bad will happen if Luna is there. I kept hearing voices and felt like I was being watched. I tried to remember that it was the headaches making me feel like this, and I tried not to think about it because that usually makes it a lot worse. I finally arrived at the ruin.
"Luna? Are you here?" There was no response "Hello?"
"Why hello Young Ezekiel, how are you this fine night?" Grim Jr. voice said from the shadows.
"Is that your favorite place to hide Grim?
"That and I cannot survive long outside if I'm not in the shadows. Looking for the princess are we?"
"Yes why do you care? I'm not asking her if she can send my back!"
"Oh I know. I just wondered why you wanted to visit when your in this condition. you know......you could black out any moment now." He said laughing.
"You wouldn't dare make me black out and attack Luna."
"I'm surprised at you Ezekiel, I don't bring on the black outs. I thought you knew that. Although I suppose I could see why you think that."
"So you can sense them but not cause them?"
"Correct. Think of it as kind of an early warning system."
"But you never tell me when I will!"
"Well...you're going to have one soon and here comes the princess. have fun." he laughed and disappeared.
Luna flew in from one of the holes in the roof. "Hello Ezekiel, I am surprised to see you. What brings you here?"
"Curiosity. I assume you know about me condition?"
"Why yes, Twilight Sparkle informed my sister and asked her if she could have some rare herbs from the royal garden."
"And what did Celestia say?"
"Once she knew of you condition she said yes and she has Canterlot's top medical scientist working with Ms. Sparkle as we speak."
"Twilight really should get some sleep, but anyway this is good news. And has the time the medicines going to be finished moved up?"
"It does not seem so. Your are something that we have never seen before, and without properly examining you we wont know how different you anatomy is different from ours."
"You mean other then the obvious,......right?"
"Well.....yes." She seem embarrassed she didn't state it herself.
"I see. So they're just taking a shot in the dark or are they following my instructions?"
"Yes it seems Twilight is handling it very well."
"I see......ugh..." The headache was severely painful now. "I....must....go now."
"Your condition is getting worse, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Yes you can...ugh trap me in something or teleport me to my cave or you could......"
I heard Grim Jr. laughing "Hmm.....I wonder what your going to do....or should I say, try to do to the princess?"
"This isn't good."
"It depends on your perspective. To me its quite amusing."
"I die and you die to!"
"Wrong. I will merely move to a different host."
"There aren't any other humans."
"You might have just changed my perspective on this ordeal."
"I think I need your help."
"Ha! You actually believed me? Yes I have powers and yes I can teach them to you but not here, only on earth."
"And as soon as we get back to earth..."
"I'll be leaving, yes."
"I hate you so much."
"But I didn't say I wouldn't be leaving you something. Did I?"
"...no you didn't."
"But until then you wont know and look your little fit is over, I'll be seeing you."
I came to with a very angry Luna and what felt like a few broken ribs.
"How dare you attack the princess of the Night!! I'll have you imprisoned for this!!"
"Wait! Luna stop!!" I yelled as best as I could "Let me explain!"
-------------
I tried to explain the situation to her and she seemed to understand but I couldn't really tell.
"I see, I will tell Celestia that it is far worse the expected and you shall not be imprisoned due to the circumstances."
"Thank you Princess I am truly sorry."
"Say nothing more and go back to your dwelling, I will go back and report what has happened."
"Ok Goodbye Princess." I bowed and left.
It was eerily quiet on the way back to the cave. No wind or noises from the creatures, not even the voices from earlier. It was like the forest had pity on me or something. Nothing happened on the way back, which was good but still something seemed off. I laid down in the hollow log bed and went to sleep
The next morning I felt awful, I had never gone this long without medication. My head was pounding and I could hardly move. I heard voice outside of the door.
"Oh....no...I don't think we should disturb him remember last time?"
"Who is it?!" I asked.
"its just me and fluttershy here to check on ya." Applejack answered
"Come on in guys, I would open the door but it seems I can't move."
The door opened and they came in. "Oh my you poor thing just look at you!" Fluttershy said with a lot of concern
"Whoa If I didn't know any better i'd say you were a ghost or somethin'." said Applejack
"Is it really that bad?"
"Um....well.....yes..."
"You look downright awful."
"I feel downright awful, do you know if my medicine is done yet?"
"Twilight said it would be another couple of hours."
"Great at least it will be sooner then later."
" are you hungry? I brought some sandwiches."
"Thanks Fluttershy but you guys need to go I'll be back home as soon as I'm feeling better."
"Oh um....okay.."
"Alrighty then see ya later and get better soon we need some help at the farm and ya missed the party pinkie was mighty hurt."
"Don't worry I'll make it up to her."
"Come right back home when you feel better okay."
"I promise."
They left and I went back to sleep because I couldn't do anything else which both sucked and left me vulnerable to well everything really and I didn't like the thought of it.
--------------
I was in a white room.
"Excuse me sir but why are the walls padded?"
"For you own protection, we don't want to hurt ourselves now do we?"
"But I wont and why am I here anyway? No one told me anything."
"You're here to get help. You've been hurting other people and sending them to hospitals."
"Only the ones that deserve it!"
"Not always. You see I know why you're in here and I know that you were treated badly in school but you didn't always hurt the people that 'deserved it' you hurt your friends to."
"So that's they stopped talking to me......"
"Yes and we will help you as long as you cooperate, ok?"
"Alright."
Now I was in my living room on earth.
"You know what son? I hope your sister doesn't turn out like you did." my mom said
"Yeah I'm so horrible I have two jobs, I pay for my car insurance, and I help out with the bills. I'm such an awful person."
"I know that's why I said it if you wanted to be a better person you would give us more money to help with the bills."
"What the.....I already shell out half of my second paycheck!"
"And we want all of it. You don't deserve the money your getting."
"I fucking hate you mom and i'm going to laugh when she sees through your bullshit!"
She laughed in response.
Now I was at school.
"Your such a loser."
"Yes I know that, you tell me that Every. Single. Day."
"Yeah so you wont forget."
"I get enough of this at home, I don't need it here."
"Aw are you abused at home? Well go cry in a corner no one here cares."
"Fuck off."
"What did you say to me?!"
"Oh I thought I didn't use big words I'm sorry let me say it again slower....fffffuuuucckk....oooofffff."
"You little prick!!" he hit me and I blacked out
I woke up and everything was blurry. I saw something looking at me and I went after it.
"Eep I'm sorry-I'm sorry!" It was Fluttershy
"Oh its just you Fluttershy...wait why are you back here?!"
"Twilight said that your medicine was ready and I told I would deliver it to you."
"Its two hours already?"
"Well...no its been four hours since I was last here and I brought water to. Here you go."
"Thanks Fluttershy." I hugged her and she hugged me back despite how nasty I probably felt. "Hey...I can move again!"
---------------
Its been a few minutes since I took my medication and I was feeling much better.
"Thanks again Fluttershy."
"Oh its no trouble at all."
"My savior once my savior always." I laughed and smiled at her.
"So um.....will you be going back to Ponyville?"
"I will once it has taken full effect."
"Twilight told me she infused it with magic and that should speed up the process."
"Awesome! But I think I'll stay here for another hour just to be sure."
"Oh.....ok then see you later."
"Don't worry I'll come back, ok? Bye Fluttershy."
She left and I got up and started cleaning out the fire pit and the rest of the cave which should take a half an hour maybe 45 minutes. about 15 minutes later. "Ok fire pits done now the other things." Which wasn't to bad. "This might not take to long after all hmm...what will I do after this?"
Another 15 minutes later, I had cleaned the cave and the sandwiches that Fluttershy had dropped off. "Well I guess I can head out then." I thought to myself "I'm feeling pretty good so I think It will be alright." And I left. On the way back into Ponyville I heard voices and laughter, it sound like i was in highschool again. "Its all in you head just remember its all in your head don't let it get to you." I said to myself but the voices grew louder and so did the laughter.
"The all hate you! You should know that by now! Why would they like a loser like you!" the voices said followed by laughter
"Just keep walking Ezekiel they're just in your head they'll go away soon."
"Why even bother going back they're just using you! How can you not see that!"
"Just ignore them and focus."
"Even Fluttershy is using you! she doesn't really care about you!"
I couldn't take it anymore. "She chose to save and showed me nothing but kindness ever since. How dare you say such things about her!!"
"She thinks your another animal to take care of, nothing more!"
"She did at one point but now she knows better."
"How do you know?!"
"I asked her and even though she didn't answer I could tell she thinks different."
"You were sent here to destroy not to make friends!! Destroy and kill are the only things your good at!!"
"VOICES BE GONE!!!" and nothing continued after that. At least not for awhile.
I was almost at the forest entrance when the voices started again well voice one and it was fathers.
"Look at you in a land of multi-colored ponies and you call yourself a man. Hmph please your more woman then man!"
"YOU DARE DEFILE MY THOUGHTS WITH YOUR FILTHY VOICE" I went over to a nearby tree and started ramming my head into it. "GET *Thud!* OUT *Thud!* AUGH!!! *THUD!!*" I stumbled towards the entrance and i thought I saw a yellow pony coming towards me. I walked a few more steps and then collapsed, but at least the voices stopped.
"Um....are you okay mister?" She said with a country accent.
"Your not Fluttershy.....who are you?"
"Fluttershah? I'm Applebloom and you are?"
"I'll tell you later...right now doctor tell Fluttershy that......I'm........hurt......"
"Uh....mister you alright? Mister?! Oh no....I gotta tell Applejack!"
"Fluttershy first but right now doc.....tor....."
I slipped from consciousnesses and there were no nightmares or dreams just.....sleep.
