Unexpected Destiny

by Rising Shine


Chapter 6: Accident

I wake up, rubbing my eyes with my hooves. I had sleep very well here. Celestia's sun is shining, the storm is over. And then Rising comes to me. "Hey, Mail. Everything good?"

"Yeah, thanks." I smile to him. "I ... uhm ... do you want some Cola?"

Wait! Cola? Since when, Equestria has Cola? Better act like unknown.

"What is ... Cola?" He just smiles. "Cherry often lovely awesome. My own created tea. Taste really good, better then I ever expected."

I didn't expected THAT!

"Sure!" I smile back to him. He nods then. "I'm so fast as I can."

He smiled to me, before he leaves the room. I sit up from the bottom and wait. From all I can remember in my dreams here, he is one of the friendliest ponies I ever met. But I make slowly worry about him ...

... because it's now already 45 minutes ago, since he left the room. I stand up and walk to the kitchen to see, what he is doing. When I see Rising ...

"Shout! RISING, YOU ALLRIGHT?!"

Rising lies unconscious on the ground, a knife lays next to him. He is bleeding on one of his front hooves. I look shocked to the table. There laying cherrys on it, some cutted already by the knife. He has hit himself accidentally. The wound is deep! "Oh no! What should I do! I NEED HELP!"

I get in panic. The hospital! Of course, stupid me.

"Rising, if you can hear me, don't worry, I bring you right to the hospital!" I manage to take him on my back and start running as fast and careful as I can to the hospital. The talking, playing and walking ponies outside see me with Rising on my back. Then somepony ask me from behind: "What is happening with him?!"

"Accidentally hurt his hoof with an knife!" I keep running, not stopping for talking. "He is too heavy for you, I take him!"

I suddenly feel Rising's body leaving my back. I turn around and see Rising in the air, still uncouncious, with an purple aura around him. When I look, who is using magic, I see, that it is Twilight Sparkle. "Twilight?"

"It's me, yes. But no time to talk, come on!" Then she start running too, levitating Rising with her. I follow her without any word. Together we run to the hospital as fast as we can. One of the nurse's screams in shock, when we run inside. We didn't even need to say, what is going on, because they take him directly, without asking anything. Then they bring him away. "I hope, he will be okay ..."

"Don't worry. They know, what there doing. But what is happened with him?" I look to Twilight, still worrying. "I think, he was cutting cherrys for a tea, when he accidentally hit his hoof. You saw youreself, how deep it was."

"Really deep. Good that you found him fast enough ... wait, you came from his house, what did you doing in there?" She looks to me suspicious, but I just shaked my head. "Don't worry, we met us yesterday. We went to his home, he made some tea for me. It was a storm outside, so he allowed me, to stay by him for the night."

"I see. Hey, don't worry, everything is going to be fine. If you want, I stay here with you, until we know more about his status, okay?" I smile to her, nodding. "Okay. Thank you."

Second to second ... minute to minute ... hour to hour ... With every second counting, my heart beat faster and faster. I'm really worried about Rising. About 5 PM, finally, a nurse walks to us into the waiting room. "How is Rising doing?!"

"You came fast enough, he is fine. He is now sleeping, but he should be wake up in few minutes. You can come in his room, if you two want."

We nod and follow the nurse to his room. Rising lays in a bed, sleeping. Bandages are all around his hurted hoof, still with a bit of blood from the wound. "You don't have to worry, he will be fine soon. But he must stay for a while here."

Then Rising open his eyes slowly. "W ... what happened? Where am I?"

"You are in the hospital. Princess Twilight ..." Twilight interupted the nurse. "Only Twilight is okay, really."

"... and your friend here brought you here fast enough. You had a really deep cut on your hoof. What is happened?" Rising rubs his eyes with his unhurted hoof. "Now I remember. Cutted cherrys for a tea ... hit my hoof with my knife, when I was lost in toughts about a mare I have a crush on. I then suddenly feeled pain in my hoof. It started bleeding fast, I got uncouncious from the shock ..."

"Are you feeling fine?" Rising smiles a little. "Yeah. And thank you, Twilight and Mail."

"No problem, Rising." We, me and Twilight, said that at the same moment. "Okay, he need some rest now, you can come tomorrow again, if you want."

"Bye, Rising." I waved to him, then leave with Twilight his room. "Thanks, Twilight. I don't know, if he had survived, if you didn't helped me."

"No problem ... Mail, right?" I nod. "Yeah."

"I have to search something, you can always meet me in the library. See you next time." And so she walks away.

I had still time, so I decided to go to Rising's house and cleaning it for him. It took several hours, before I was finished cleaning everything dirty in the house. During that time, I realized, that he has many books in here. I know some of them, all written by the anonym "RS" ... wait ... R-ising ... S - hine ... he write own stories? Wow! But I better go to my home now. I close the house door and walk back to my house, laying down in my bed. I fall directly asleep ...
