Kathy's side
EdgarDoesEverything
I woke up in a bed, my head was ringing and I felt a stinging pain on my forehead that was similar to stepping on a lego. I touch the area to feel cloth. I rise up to see that I was in a hospital, or that's what I thought. The room had medical machines that were attached to me from a needle. The blanket was a warm plush like material. That's when I realized that I was completely naked. I immediately grab the blanket and covered my chest. My face turned red and I looked around to hope no one was watching.
"Thanks goodness, That would had been embarrassing" I said, talking to myself. I realized when I looked around that there was a small metal box. I turned my head to that location to see that my clothing was there, I grabbed my shirt with one hand while still holding the blanket up to my chest. I smiled to pick up my long sleeved shirt that was white with black polka dots. But that smiled quickly went away with I saw some blood smeared on the collar of the shirt. Thoughts quickly went pass my head. I look around the room again to see that I was the only patient in here. I began to have a panic attack and started to breath hard. I kept looking around the room, turning my head very fast. I began to sweat, I started to tell myself to calm down. Daddy is okay, he just probably waiting for me, YES! That's it... That's what's going on, Dad is just waiting for me. I reassured myself until I calmed down. I took in a long breath and slowly released it.
"I need to get dressed" I whispered under my breath. I felt the smudged blood to find it dry. I recoiled when I touched it. I put on my shirt, I was glad that I can put the blanket down now. I pick up the box to be surprised that it was so light. I found my undergarments and skirt, I also saw my dad's jacket. I changed into my clothing before I picked up my dad's clothing. I hugged it, hoping that he was okay. I got up from the bed and stretched. I saw a mirror on the side of a wall, I began to walk towards it. I stopped when I saw the bandages on my forehead, they were stained with my blood. I slowly went to touch the area when I heard trotting. I looked behind me to see a window leading to another room. I also saw metal double doors. I pressed the button on a silver keypad and the doors slid open. The room that had opened up to me that had these flimsy tubes stickout of the wall. My eyes widen and I went to touch one, when I did, It spray a misty white chemical into the air which I inhaled. I coughed a bit, It tasted like medicine. The door lead me to the room I saw through the window. The trotting now became louder mixed in when a females humming. I saw a chair in the room and went to go sit on it, swinging my legs and holding the sides of the chair to remove my boredom. The doors were surrounded by a light and magically opened. I awaited who to enter and when I did, I saw a red pony with a brown mane, she also had a horn out of her forehead so It must be a unicorn! She was almost tall as me, being 9 years old isn't very tall so she was much bigger then me.
"Hi!" I said, the pony jumped and looked at me, she then smiled and walked towards me, holding a try in her mouth. The tray had fresh bandages. She set the metallic tray on a metal table that I was sitting next to.
"My, you awakened early! We thought you would had been sleeping for another week, I'm glad you're awake... Uhh?" She had a confused look on her face, I knew what she wanted to know
"Kathy!" I smiled at her
"Kathy, what a sweet, cute name. I'm Nurse Rose Stem, I'm just going to change your bandages, okay?"
"Okay!" I said. She began using her magic to remove my bandages which made my forehead tickle, I wanted to scratch my head so bad, but I didn't wanted to interfere with her work. She finally took it off and I went to scratch my head while she unwrapped the other one.
"Hold still, Kathy" She said with a bright smile. Her glittering red eyes were so beautiful.
"Your eyes are very pretty Rose!"
"Why thank you dear! i"m almost finished, you seemed to have recovered fast. When they brought you here, somepony already close your head and cleaned it, that somepony must care for you!"
"Oh, I think that was my dad!" I said
"Your dad?" she stopped and began to think, I got scared.
"Yes, do you know where he is? This is his jacket, I hope he is okay" She had a confused look on her face, she looked like her tongue was twisted or trying to find the right words.
"Did they only bring in me?" Suddenly the doors open, a purple alicorn entered the room. She looked at me and smiled which I responded back with the same thing.
"I see that you two have already became friends! Hi there, little one. I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, I am here to check if you're all right." Twilight said as she walked towards me.
"Why, yes. I feel fine, Twilight, but do you know where my daddy is?" I asked again
"Your daddy? Sorry, but I didn't knew you had a dad. If he shows up, we'll till him that your safe, okay?" Twilight said with sympathy eyes . I nodded.
"You must be hungry," Twilight tilted her head at me and wanted my name
"Kathy!" I said, she smiled
"You must be hungry Kathy, do you want breakfast?"
"I sure do!" I said with a big smirk on my face. She motioned me to follow her. I hopped of the chair.
"Princess Twilight, I'll go check on the other patient, I send word on how his doing." Rose said
"Thank you, Rose. Follow me Kathy" She began walking out the door which I walked beside her. We entered the hallways, filled with these mean looking armored ponies. Twilight gave them I look that I didn't understand and they all smile at me. I smiled back and continued walking beside Twilight. These hallways were weird, I saw a lot of room label, subject something or experiment teleportation or something. They were filled with big words that made my head hurt. After we turned a corner, we entered a large room with a lot of ponies holding stacks of papers and equipment.
"This is where the staff work Kathy, This place is a lab and a hospital so we can improve our medicine and technology. We just need to leave this room and we can go to the royal garden for breakfast, sounds fun?"
"I didn't understand what she said first but I nodded my head when I heard breakfast"
"You're going to love my friend named, Fluttershy, She loves meeting new species! With your adorableness, I don't think she would be able to keep her hooves off of you" Twilight chuckled, I smiled with the thought of tasty food going through my mind again. We walked out these double door which lead to a red carpet. We walked down a couple of stairs while admiring elegant status or pretty pictures. We got to an area where there was no doors and showed a beautiful garden, nearby were some tall hedges and a table with a couple of cushions. I ran into the graden, frolicing in the field. I stooped to see a yellow, winged pony. I skipped to her, she appeared to be watering some plants, Twilight went and talk to a guard, she said something about bringing something here, I bet it's food. The yellow pegasus looked up to see me approaching her, she sat down in the grass and smiled towards me. I greeted her.
"Hi there! My name is Kathy!"
"Hi there little one, my name is Fluttershy, I take care of the animals and plants in the royal garden, I never had seen one of you before, what are you Kathy?"
"uhhh, I'm a human? Why?" I asked with concern
"Oh, well I love taking care of animals.. I really do. I just love to know everything, I was surprised you talked Equestrian, Kathy, have you been in Equestria for a while now?"
"Equestria, what's that? Also I'm talking English!"
"Equestria is just a wonderful place, It's filled with many wonders, oh... It looks like breakfast is here, lets go eat first Kathy" Fluttershy smiled at me and began walking towards the table and cushions, I followed. A stallion placed down several plates on the table. They were all covered. My mouth tingled with excitement. The covers slowly were lifting, suddenly an alarm goes off through a tube that lead air to the underground. It startled all of us.
"What's going on Twilight?" I asked
"Oh... It's uhhh, a practice drill! In case of a chemical leak, Kathy, pardon me, I need to talk to someone. I'll be right back!" Twilight started trotting inside the castle where she meet with a big blue horse, I looked at Fluttershy
"Don't worry, Kathy. Whatever is happening, I'm sure it's fine" Fluttershy reassured me. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like my dad's gun going off. It was just one, then I heard multiple ones going off.
"Daddy?" My heart began to race, I got up from my cushion and started to run to the door, I passed Twilight who ask me where I was going and began to chase me down, Fluttershy began as well, I raned up the multiple stairs with the ponies right at my back, I had a sensation going through my body, I began picking more speed and became more aware of my surrounding, I was filled with energy. I heard an elevator ding on the floor above me, I kept hearing the ponies call me name. I then felt the castle shake and some tiny rocks came off the roof. Then screaming was heard from a pony. I heard another loud crash and heard what sound like my daddy screaming. I'm so close,,, I need to keep running! I reached the doorway, and saw my daddy bleeding on the floor, with his bone sticking out, I started to tear up. My daddy began to reach for me, I screamed
"DADDY!!!"
