//------------------------------// // Broken and Hurt // Story: Broken Shards // by Imagination Ideas AEG //------------------------------// A blue and white alicorn which had a dark red mane walked through Ponyville. Her name was Imagination. The streets of Ponyville were barren, as the rain pattered amongst the dirt roads. Imagination wished to give up on everything. She just couldn’t bare the feelings of depression and hopelessness any longer. Depression bothered her ever since she was a young filly, after her parents and two little brothers went missing. Imagination’s thoughts of ending herself were too much for the filly sized mare to handle. Although she was the Princess of Creativity, what was the purpose of a leader of creativity when she had none left? Imagination’s depression ate up any creative ideas she had along with her self-worth. Imagination couldn’t befriend any-pony due to her emotional pain that burdened her to an extreme level. Imagination didn’t want to hurt any-pony else with her emotional struggles due to her Mental Conditions. Imagination was ready to end it... end it then and there. Imagination Ideas how could you do this to yourself? Uh… How could you be such a failure and not tell any pony? How… How could I feel so terrible? What did I do to deserve this? I just want to end it all now! Imagination continued to walk through Ponyville, lonely and depressed. Imagination passed by many houses as she walked. Suddenly, an idea popped into Imagination’s head and she had everything she needed in order to do it. You should just cut yourself now, and drown yourself in Ponyville’s lake later. No-pony will even miss you. In fact, every pony would be happier without you! Imagination started to cut her hooves with a knife, as she bleed her dark thoughts melted away for a brief moment. When the depressing thoughts reappeared, she began to cry. “Please, if there is a God out there, help me! I just want to end my life! Please help me! Please God help me!!! If your even there and are listening to my pathetic plea for help,” Imagination begged now laying down from exhaustion. Ponyville still remained empty for the most part, except for one unicorn stallion with a dark blue coat and black hair which happened to be walking in the same direction that she was going. Maybe there was a pony that could save her from herself. The pony who could help her was the Autistic Pony, or as he preferred to be called AJ. When AJ spotted Imagination he introduced himself. Imagination looked away in response to his introduction. “I am Imagination. I have ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and High Functioning Autism. I want to commit suicide,” Imagination said in desperation and sadness. “Trust me, I know how it feels to be different myself. So you’re the Princess of Creativity that comes from Creatown, which all of Equestria's art comes from. And your family went missing. I read it in an obscure book I found in Twilight’s castle in a secret entrance,” AJ explained. “That is me. I actually had friend of mine take over for me, she will be a permanent replacement,”Imagination mumbled. "Okay, why did you cut yourself? Will you be okay? You definitely need my help," AJ said. " Ahh.. well.. I.. I couldn't battle my depression any longer. I.. I just.. just gave up on.. everything. When depression never goes away, it causes chaos in my life. I can't even function with it nudging at me constantly. I thought, I could run away from my problems by moving to Ponyville, where no-pony would grieve me if I decided to end my own life. The thought to cut myself just entered my mind and I went with it. I was just about to go to the lake... and.. and.. drown myself, " Imagination admitted. "That isn't good, you need help and right away. You are probably losing blood as we speak," AJ said worriedly. Imagination fainted and lost consciousness from her loss of blood due to the wounds she made in an act of self harm. AJ, frowned and with his magic levitated the small pony onto his back. AJ ran with her to the hospital as fast as he could. As AJ ran Imagination continued to lose blood. When they had arrived , Imagination was gurney-ed to the ER. While the unconcious Imagination was wheeled around, AJ ran behind her. The doctors and nurses had said "Imagination has lost too much blood and she can't replenish it on her own. She needs a blood transfusion. The only problem is that she is o negative. We completely ran out of o- negative blood! The odds of survival for her are very slim, if we can't get a donation within 24 hours." "No.. NOOOO! I CAN'T LET HER DIE, WHEN SHE HASN'T HAD A CHANCE TO EVEN EXPERIENCE JOY!! IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN POSSIBLY DO??!? PLEASE GOD FROM ABOVE DON'T LET HER DIE! NOT THIS WAY! NOT NOW, AJ cried in agony!! Suddenly the angelic voice of the nurse said, "Well, there is one thing that you can do, but it is her only hope. May I please draw some blood from you?" I am scared to death of needles, but if it is the only way to save her I must. I must conquer my fear of needles for her life to be saved. I am o negative as well. I am as ready as I'll ever be, I'll speak up. "Don't worry, Imagination! I am o negative as well so I'll donate to you in your time of dire need! There is no need for a blood test, since I am sure that I am o negative," AJ cried out in desperation! "Okay, let me get the equipment I need in order to transfer the blood in between you two," the nurse said relieved. Once the nurse found the equipment she required, she searched for a vein in AJ, poked him with the needle and added tape around the area. AJ first fidgeted and grimaced when the needle was about to be placed in and closed his eyes as he remembered Imagination. The nurse attached the flowing blood to Imagination's IV. As Imagination received,it she began to recover quickly. "I guess we are siblings since we are related by blood now. I love you so much! Three Cheers for your recovery," AJ happily stated. After the blood transfusion was over, AJ slept beside Imagination. Nothing could ever separate them now, the pair were as tight as siblings could be.
