DustStorm's Treatment

by DuskShadowBrony

Awakening

My eyes slowly opened. My body felt well rested, and my mind clear. I got up, and shook myself. Luna was there, watching me. "You're awake." she said. "Good." she was silent for a while, then spoke again. "Dust... I know this is a sore subject, but please... About your family.... I know they never supported you, or treated you like a living thing.... But I just want to know... If you could go back, and forget it all, would you? Would you want to grow up in a different scenario, where you were truly care for?"

I frowned at the odd question. I thought about all the times I was beaten by my family and the bullies at my school. The times I was backstabbed by ponies I trusted. How I was used by others. Nopony was ever there for me. Ever. Shaking these dark thoughts out of my head, I muttered a reply. "I - I guess..."

Luna stood up and walked over to me. “What if I told you that there was a way? To start everything over?"

I gave a dry chuckle and walked back to my research desk. "I would say that you're dreaming."

Luna shook her head. "There is a way, Dust. Do you trust me?"

I turned back to look at her. "Of course I do, Luna. You're like a mother to me."

Luna took a deep breath, and explained the spell she found to me. I was stunned into silence for a while. Luna shifted uncomfortably. "This is your choice, of course." she said quickly. "I won't force you."

I sat down, mind whirling. "I'll be a... A baby again? I'll forget all I've learned?"

"And the memories you try so hard to suppress." Luna had a sad look to her eyes again. "I promise I will raise you like a mother should. I'll take good care of you. I can't stand to see you suffer like this. Nopony deserves to suffer like that." she draped a wing over me, and gave me a gentle hug. "I just want to see you happy."

"Will it really work?" I whispered.

"Only one way to find out." Luna answered, that motherly tone in her voice again.

I hesitated. All my dark memories, gone? I shook myself. "Do it, Luna." my voice was calm.

Luna smiled and stood back. Her horn glowed gently. "No matter how long it takes, I will rebuild your heart." she said softly. I felt her magic, like a warm blanket, envelope me. Everything in the room started to grow- no, it was me who was shrinking. When the blurring stopped, Luna was towering over me. I don't know why, but I felt a little scared. Luna seemed to notice this. She picked me up and cradled me gently. "Shhh." she whispered. "It's okay. Mommy's here for you." I felt strange, a calming feeling settled on my mind as Luna rocked me, softly singing a lullaby. My eyes grew heavy, and soon, I drifted off to sleep.
