Chapter 6: A Pained Mind

*The story now switches to the new pony's point of view.*

Where am I?

This place… it's so dark. So cold.

I feel… weak.

I walked through a vast plane of nothingness, hollow hoofsteps echoing every time I touched the ground.

The world around me began to shudder violently.

I couldn't help but stumble over. However, instead of falling onto the ground that I assumed was there, I didn't hit anything.

I kept falling, and falling, into nothing.

I looked down, for some reason afraid of what was at the bottom of all of this.

A sudden voice broke through the empty area.

"Do you think he will be alright?"

"I… I don't know. The weather doesn't usually hurt anypony."

"Ugh! I am so going to yell at whoever was in charge of this storm!"

"Rainbow, that's not very nice…"

"Well they got an innocent pony hurt because they didn't warn me about this storm, Fluttershy!"

The falling suddenly ceased, and I was floating on air it seemed. Then the reality around me began to distort, walls fading into place, furniture appearing all around me, and actual noise penetrating the void.

I closed my eyes, not knowing at all what to expect.

"Hey, Rainbow, I think he's waking up."

I slowly opened my eyes, only to be met with the eyes of two others staring at me. I jumped out of the bed I was in, and blindly ran away from the two strangers, scared for my life.

"Ah! Stop! You'll open your stitches!"

I ran as fast as I could away from those two, only to find myself at a dead end with them being between me and the door to this place.

"I… I don't know who you are but stay away!" I yelled, cowering in the corner.

They both looked at me with shocked eyes for a few seconds, and then the yellow mare with a pink mane carefully trotted towards me. As she got closer, I tried to push myself deeper into the wall, attempting to ignore the pain I was feeling while doing so.

"Listen, my name is Fluttershy, and this here is my friend, Rainbow Dash. We found you out in that horrid storm, hurt very badly." She reached her hoof out towards me, as I flinched and stared at the extended limb.

"I promise we won't hurt you. We are just trying to help you." she said, with a gentle smile on her face. After seeing and hearing her, I started to mull over the idea of what she said being true. I looked past her, and was able to see the storm heavily beating down upon the area. She spoke with such kindness in her voice, that I couldn't help but believe her.

"O.. okay. I'll let you take care of me." I mumbled. She then smiled even larger than before, and helped me onto my hooves again, and led me towards the bed I was in before.

After I had been laid down, and had my stitches checked, I began to ask a few questions. "So… Fluttershy, right? Could you by any chance tell me where I am?" I asked.

"Well that's easy. You're in Ponyville." she responded.

'Ponyville…? It sounds familiar.' I thought to myself. "So what's up with that freak storm outside then?" I questioned.

This time, it was the blue mare with the rainbow mane that replied to me. "Honestly I have no idea. The stupid pegasi that are supposed to warn us of potentially dangerous weather they create, didn't even bother to warn me at all!" When she finished talking, I began to think about this. 'What was I doing out in a storm, though?'

"Hey," said the blue pony. "You've been here for a while now, but we don't know your name. Could ya tell us?"

When she finished her sentence, I sat there wide eyed. "My… my name… what is my name?" I mumbled to myself.

The mares were close enough to hear me mumbling to myself, and Fluttershy said, "You don't remember your name? That's absolutely horrible! Well can you tell us what you do remember?" I thought about this for a second, not being able to search my mind the way I would like to. I began to look around, hoping that something could jog my memory a bit. I ended up looking straight at the blue pony's mane.

"Wha- Why are you staring at me?" she said, blushing slightly.

"It's your mane… I feel like I remember a rainbow mane from somewhere. What did you say your name was again?" I asked.

"Why, my name is Rainbow Dash! The fastest flier in all of Equestria!" she said proudly, puffing her chest out.

"Oh, that's great! Since Rainbow here is somewhat famous, and you seem to remember hearing about her from somewhere, so that's a start!" Fluttershy exclaimed. I still felt like there was something else about the rainbow mane that reminded me of something, but I failed to remember it, so I just nodded my head slowly.

"What else do I remember…" I questioned myself. The ponies let me ponder this for a minute.

After some time, Fluttershy finally asked me something, breaking my train of thought.

"I take it you don't remember anything?" she carefully asked.

I simply stared at her, not knowing what to think.

"I… I don't remember anything." I stated.

Both of the ponies looked at each other, then at me, then again at each other.

Rainbow Dash said, "Do you think she could help him?"

"Well I don't know Rainbow… maybe… I don't know if she knows medi-magic enough to help him." Fluttershy replied.

"Well don't you think it's worth a shot to help him get his memories back?" Rainbow shot back.

"Umm, whoever you're talking about, I would like to meet her." I interjected.

They both looked at me, and Fluttershy said, "Okay. Tomorrow we will take you to go and see our friend, Twilight Sparkle." Then Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "Yeah! She's an expert of all types of magical things. Heck, she's even the apprentice of Princess Celestia, the co-ruler of Equestria, so I'm sure she could help you regain your memories!"

All of a sudden, my head started hurting, like a stampede running across my mind.

I held my head, and began screaming, trying to yell out the pain, somehow. I could feel one of the ponies holding me in their arms.

"What's wrong?" I heard Fluttershy say, directly at my side.

"My… my head.. it hurts…" I croaked out.

She rubbed her hoof through my mane, which effectively calmed me down after a few minutes.

When I didn't feel any more pain, I looked up at Fluttershy, and weakly thanked her. She nodded her head, and said. "I think that we should all take a rest for now. Hopefully tomorrow the storm will have stopped and we can take you to the hospital, then to Twilight's house, okay?" I nodded my head, agreeing with her.

After making sure I was okay, Fluttershy went upstairs with Rainbow Dash, to set up a guest bed for her to sleep on. I looked up at the ceiling, unsure of everything that happened today. 'Who am I?' I thought to myself, as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Author's Note:

(A/N) So wassup guys. I don't even remember when I updated last. You see, on Wednesday I made an FIMFiction Account (InfinityBrony), and uploaded the story I have so far on there. I also was busy with a bunch of other stuff that day, so I *think* I updated to Chapter 5 on Wednesday, but knowing how often I write, I probably didn't. Anyway, on more serious news, when I moved my story over to FIMFiction, it seemed to get a mixed view of opinions. Either people liked it enough to favorite it, or hated it enough to dislike it. I also have 1 negative review telling me how awful the description is, and 1 review telling me how good the story is. All of this summed up to 4 dislikes on the first day of the story being out, and then on the 3rd to 4th day getting 3 likes, and 6 favorites from the entirety of it being out. So I have to assume that people automatically disliked my story because of the description, and didn't even read the content inside of it, and those that were nice enough to read inside liked this story. Soooo I want to ask you guys to R&R (Read and Review) so I know exactly what is going on, like the reasons why you don't like my story, without turning your message into a flame, or telling me how much you like my story so that I can feel happeh and feel more pumped to get a new chapter out! Anyway, since I haven't done it yet, let me just say I own my characters, and Hasbro owns theirs. They just so happened to be found in the same story, somehow. I guess you could call it magic. Now to start the story!
