Those Days Still Lurking

Visiting

"Please, if you're going to say my name, please call me Twilight, or Ms. Sparkle. Hey, you must be Marcel, I've heard of you," Twilie stated. What came to shock me first was that she didn't remember me. I looked back at my cutie mark, and almost half of it was gone on each side. I sighed. "Don't you remember me Twilight?" She stared at me, and her eyes squinted, finally she said, "Nope." That hurt me alot. "But I'm your brother!" She looked at me weirdly, "My brother died 8 years ago, now get away from me liar," she attempted to close the door with her magic, but I stopped her with mine. Her thinking me dead hurt me more, "Are you sure you don't remember me?" She nodded. That wounded me, and killed me. She shut the door closed. I stood there for hours.

The sun came up, and I was still there. The door swung open and hit me square in the snout, and I was propelled backwards, "I am so sorry Marcel, my fault, but what were you doing here?" She walked by me, and waited for an answer. "I'm your brother for Discord's sake, don't you remember?"
"Nope."
"But-"
"No, I don't remember, now please, get out of my life."

I sat there, and began to cry. The last thing I loved that was still alive, thinks I'm not. No, I'm not going to let her get away. It's a one in a million chance she's here, and she's my last chance at happiness. She wasn't too far away. I galloped quickly over and almost caught up to her, then something hit me in the side. The next thing I knew was that I was on a mountain. It was that kind of mountain in movies where there wasn't any space too move, and it was so high, and the camera would take a 360 degree circle around the guy on the mountain.

It was snowing, heavily. I could barely see my hoof in front of my face. "What the?" and I couldn't even hear my own voice. "Hello Shining Armour." something spoke silently, yet I could still hear it. The voice sounded familiar, a female one. The sun wasn't visible, yet its rays still protruded through the clouds and snow, to make visible, Celestia, flying there, not moving. "Let her be Shining Armour, she won't remember you," I felt like punching her in the face, and breaking off her horn with a bonesaw right now. How would she know if my little sister would remember me or not? She's not one to judge! Right before I was sent back, I saw her eyes flicker green, and then everything was gone.

Twilight was looking straight into my eyes when I regained sight of the real world, "Are you okay, Marcel?" I looked at her, big, purple eyes. I blinked and the faze was gone, "Just, just leave me alone." I galloped away, a tear in my eye. For some distance, there was nothing, then Twilight just appeared out of nowhere right infront of me. I galloped in a different direction, but she kept following me. "Stop Marcel, tell me, what's wrong?" I did something that I would never have done to her normally, I cast a curse on her that would keep that mare from using magic for the next ten minutes. I teleported away, far, far away.

I ended up near that spot I was last night. I could still see the faded green spot where I threw up, and the blackened grass of where Luna was sitting. I forgot what Cadence had said, so I fell on the ground almost instantly. I regained my self and sat up. I thought about what Celestia had said. Life isn't fair, then again, life is overrated. I slammed my head into the seemingly soft dirt, and was greeted by stone hard earth. I heard a crack, felt major pain, look up to the sky, saw the light, and maybe or maybe not saw my life flash before my eyes, and everything was black.

Once again, expecting to be woken up in a hospital with BlueLung looking over me, but no. I was being shaken by familar hands. I opened my eyes, and saw Twilie, no, Ms. Sparkle shaking me. "Hello, I found you asleep over here, are you okay?" I looked up at her, and pain immediantly shot down my horn and neck, "Ow!" I shouted out. "Whoa you okay Marcel? Here lem'me check," a purple beam shot out of her horn, and acted as a scanner, going up and down, "oooh... that's not good. Your skull is fractured in two places, and yor horn is cracked almost halfway through, you need to get to a hospital, here, I can take you." She used her magic to make a cast around my neck, and told me to walk along with her.

To be sure that this was the right Twilight Sparkle, I asked her to recall her life, and if she ever lived in Ponyville. She talked to me about her life, from when she was a little filly, to her exam for magic school, and her gaining of Spike the baby dragon. She recalled her unwilling moving to Ponyville, and told me about all her adventures with her friends; Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash. Yep, this was her.

We heard a large explosion, and both of us looked in the general direction of the noise. Snapping my head in that direction shot more pain down my neck, and I nearly blacked out. There were black dots dancing across my vision. "What could that've been?" Twilight said. I could barely see her face, but I bet the expression on it would've been funny, if not in these circumstances, "c'mon, keep walking."

I could kind of see the hospital, as we arrived. I saw that it was just a large rectangular building, with a hole in the side. Wait, a hole? That couldn't have been right. I rubbed my eyes with my hoof, and there was a numb pain on my skull, but nothing I couldn't handle. "Whoa, a ho-" that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out, once again.

I woke up, expecting not to be found, but the universe seems to hate confirming my thoughts. The first thing I saw was the worried, yet determined face of Doctor BlueLung, and next to her was Twilight Sparkle. "Is he okay, Doc?"
"He's had more than just two fractures, and a cracked horn. He's had a major concussion, the neckbone is broken, and the ulna is fractured all the way through."

Seriouly? I'm that hurt? I felt sleepy, so I tried to fall asleep, but sleeping after anethstetic isn't that easy.
"So what's about that hole in the wall?" Twilight asked BlueLung.
"Someone snuck inside our hospital at night, and planted high explosives in the left wing. We lost 13 patients, and 3 were found fatally injured."
"Do you have any idea who did it?"
"No, not yet, but he left some clues. The security and the D.P.E had lifted a couple fingerprints, 829 total. We cannot confirm that any of them are the terriost's'."

I overheard it all. I remember the end of my conversation with Celestia on the mountain. I remember at the end, her eyes turned green. Could it have been her? No, right? BlueLung was the first to speak up over a while, "He's still awake, he needs a stronger anethstetic." My snout was opened against will, and some liquid was poured into my mouth, and I fainted, losing all consciousness.
