I sat silently on the floor of my padded cell, every so often Minute would look in the small window of my cell. I would smile when she did, to show my appreciation, which would make her smile back. I got up and started pacing my cell, my constant silence bearing down on me. If I wasn't crazy before I sure as hell was going to end up insane. I started reciting the alphabet to myself as my boredom peaked. I became fluent in singing the alphabet forwards and backwards, which isn't much if a feat, but for someone who doesn't know any songs from the outside world, it's a work of genius.
"Against the wall, please," Minute asked. I slowly walked to the wall and watched as Doctor Christoph entered into the room, holding the knife I had speared his wife to the wall with.
"For the last time, where did you get this knife?" He asked as he approached me. I stared silently back at him. He reached for my hand and I stepped away. "Don't you dare walk away from me, guards, take him to solitary."
Minute and another guard walked in, grabbed me and dragged me out of my cell and down to the solitary cell, a concrete cell where I'm not allowed food for a few days, and sit in complete darkness. The perfect place to be alone with my thoughts. I avoided eye contact with Minute, as I was put in my new cell. As the door closed, Christoph looked in through the small viewing window, and smiled.
"Leave him here for a week, maybe then he will learn to speak when spoken too," he laughed as he walked as I sat in the dark cell. I closed my eyes slowly, boredom taking over as I fell asleep.
I slowly sat my head up, the cold floor of my cell burning my hands and fingers. I looked around and saw several new ponies, one much taller than the others. The eight new ponies all looked a mix of fear, surprise, and amazement.
Harp Stringer and Pie Chart both walked into my cell, Harp Stringer handing me a glass of water as Pie Chart checked my blood pressure. I thanked both of them as I stared back at the seemingly frozen ponies.
"I-I think it's suffice enough to say that I'm actually quite surprised with progress on this expirement," the tallest pony finally spoke. Her white coat brought out her flowing mane and tail. Her voice was caring yet demanding. "Is it intelligent or cognitive?"
"Yes, he is intelligent, showing simmilar intelligence levels as a full grown unicorn," I smiled at the tall white pony, her face breaming happiness.
"Is he able to speak?" I nod to myself, not expecting her to take my answer. "Well, if you can,then what's your name?"
"I-I don't remember my name, I'm referred to as a number," I spike softly, I heard a loud gasp as I felt something nearly tackle me. I looked at the aggresor seeing a bright pink coat.
"You don't know your name?!" I shook my head as she gasped again. "Then how can I throw you a welcome to Equestria party?!"
"Pinkie, please calm down and exit the cell," Pie Chart asked of her, Pinkie stared at her and sighed before nuzzling me and leaving the cell. "Now, I asked him and he gave me permission to name him, and we named him Silver."
"Well, Silver, I hope your current confimement can be releaved by the research our scientists and engineers are doing," the tall pony told me, weakness in her voice. Her eyes quickly went wide, as a faint blush spread across her face. "I'm Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria, this is my star pupil, Twilight Sparkle," she pointed to the purple pony, then the rest of the ponies, announcing each of them. Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Starlight Glimmer.
"It's nice to meet you all," I smiled softly as all of them said hi, but it went quickly as Pie Chart announced we were running out of energy keeping me here. I waved goodbye before my vision went black.
I slowly looked around my dark cell, as I heard demands to open the cell door, followed by how I was gone. The door opened and Dr. Christoph ran in, before seeing me on the floor. He growled and slapped me hard, my cheek stinging. His anger radiated from him as he kicked me in the stomach.
"What the fuck are you!" I cried in pain as I gasped and coughed. I fell flat as I felt another kick hit me in the chest. My chest burnt as it became hard for me to breathe, coughing up blood. "God damnit, fuck, get a nurse in here, Patient 692 is suffering from a broken rib."
A nurse entered with a gurney, pulling me onto the gurney. I was wheeled off as I saw Minute following us. She noticed my gaze and smiled softly as I noticed tears well up in her eyes. I was kickly put under anestetic my eyes getting heavy as I fell asleep.
I cried in pain as I heard hooves hitting against the ground. I felt a warm blanket envolpe me as I slowly felt the pain in my chest slowly become numb. My head rolled to the side as I saw Pie Chart and Blue Tint rushing into my cell before I blacked out.
I slowly woke up in a comfy bed in a hospital room. I looked down seeing my chest bandaged up. I looked around for someone before I overheard Dr. Christoph and someone else talking.
"I'm telling you, I watched his rib heal itself right before my eyes," the mystery person insisted. My guess was it was a surgeon or a nurse. "I've never seen anything like it."
"Well, keeping trying to find a reason, ribs don't just heal together, damnit," Dr. Christoph stated. I heard a door open and close as the nurse came to my bed.
"Oh, you're awake," I saw him a grab a needle from a tray and inject to contents into my IV drip. "Just sleep, we'll wake you in a few days." And with that, I fell back asleep.
