Chapter 15 - Walking With My Head In The Clouds
I merely sat there and watch as 27 walked out the door and out of my life, I didn’t know if he’ll make it back from that mysterious zebra nation... Every second I sat there thinking about him just.... Just... Just walking out that door not knowing a thing about what lays ahead. He held his head up high, not even looking back one more time to say one last goodbye... I doubt he knew that he’ll most likely not coming back alive... I...
Tears started to run down my face as I think more about 27.... Every single memory he and I made together since the day I was dropped into his lap... He didn’t even give me a second thought, he just nodded with a smile on his face and walked into the unknown danger that laid ahead... Anything that they threw at him would just mercilessly beat him down and he would just stand right back up and the first thing he did was make sure I was okay....
No matter what kind of punishment he endured, he would simply just rise once more like a Pheonix and do what ever it took to protect me... My eyes started to burn more as tears now freely fell down my face, soaking my coat. I fall to the floor as my legs give out, I lay there on the floor weeping as I recall more memories that we’ve made.
The dark room with the foal was the scariest of them all... I don’t know how 27 was able to survive the chaotic blast from that demonic foal, it should have easily killed both of us... B-But... B-But after the magical energy dissipated from the room he was still there... He still held me as the smell of burnt flesh filled the air around us.. A-All I could do was look up to see a blank look on his face, I-I felt so helpless just sitting there in his arms as I called out to him...
After a few minutes he slowly rose up and gently sat me down on the floor.. His face still had the same blank stare on it as he turned around and started to walk towards the crazed foal. I-I don’t know what he did but somehow he was able to destroy it.. But at a cost though, he nearly lost his arm just to save me, somepony he barely knew... W-Why?
“W-Why 27.... W-Why? Why risk everything just to protect me? H-He barely knew who I was...” My eyes felt like they were on fire the more I cried.
I was able to get up off the floor and make my way to the bed. I lay down on the bed and buried my head deep into the pillow, h-his scent sank into the pillow from the night before... Which brought another torrent of memories rushing back.
I called out to him as he was in the shower, trying to make him hurry up. I turned my back to walk towards the bed to wait for him... That’s when his hand grabbed my flank... His warm hand grasping my rear as he reached through the shower curtains. This memory brought me some joy and a small smile to my face... I don’t know if it was an accident or on purpose... We layed in the bed together, I looked up to him as he just lay there, he still had a smile on his face as he looked down at me and started to pet my mane.
I-I didn’t know what I was doing but I was glad I did it... I leaned in close and kissed him, he just sat there not trying to stop me or anything... My heart just pounded furiously as we sat there kissing... I wipe the tears from my eyes as I wrap myself in the blanket that was on the bed, the smell of him rose from the bed and started to penetrate my nose even more.
T-That day we met Daimon and Colt... 27 told me to run as he fell to the floor in the dark hallway... That was the first time I ever heard him speak... I was too frightened to notice how nice his voice sounded... H-He sounded so commanding but it wasn't like he was trying forcing me to do anything... His voice sounded so caring with each word he spoke, each word poured out like water just like his movements when he fought.
His body looked like was made out of water when he fought, each move flowed smoothly like he wasn't trying to force his body to do anything at all; But merely like it moved of its own free will, like it had a mind of its own. I don’t see how it was even possible for somepony’s body to move like that.
I didn’t realize this until he fought Daimon and Colt for the very first time. T-That primal scream that roared out from within the darkened hallway that I ran from; It sounded almost animalistic... As he came charging out of the darkness with his misshapen limbs, he almost looked like a timberwolf... Such animalistic features on him... He was able to change his magnificent body to what ever he desired, and it simply did as it was told... I finally stopped crying as my hoof started to wonder below the blankets, his scent still lingers in my nose like a skunk that had just sprayed; Unable to smell anything else but him... I loved it.
I-I really never fantasized about anypony before.. Until now that is.. I enjoyed myself indulging in pleasure as much as my breaking heart would allow me... For maybe an half an hour. I was finally able to get out of bed after my little ‘adventure’, I trotted back into the bathroom and washed my hooves before splashing some cold water on my face.
All I needed was to leave this room before I started to cry again. I grab the sack of bits and I simply left the room. I made my way to the front desk to pay for our night’s stay, I tap the bell on the desk with my hoof. After the sound of the bell had faded way, a mare came to the front desk with a smile on her face.
“Oh, you’re finally awake miss, did you and your ‘special stallion friend’ have a good time last night?” A small grin grew on her face.
“D-Did you hear that last night?” My face turned slightly red in embarrassment.
“Relax miss, I was just teasing you a little. Your expenses have all been paid by your friend as he left. I hope you have a great day.” She gives me another warm smile before she takes her leave.
I smile back before I leave. I walk towards the entrance of the town just wanting to leave. Something catches the corner of my eye, it was a saddle bag sitting in the windowsill of a shop, I enter the shop and was quickly greeted by a store clerk. I asked for the saddle bag that was sitting in the window; I purchase it and quickly leave the store. I strap the bag around myself and place the sack of bits in it.
I spread my wings and stretch them before I take off from the ground. I flew out of Canterlot and started to head towards home.
