Medical Bay

....Hours....

....Four damned hours.....

.....Fours hours of uncertainty and self-inflicted mental torture.....

Four hours have passed without word nor sign of the lone human's well being. The three Alicornian princesses stared blankly at the doors where the doctors were hard at work healing their beloved, refusing to budge from their spot on the floor. Many of a guard and nurse attempted to reason with the emotional mares, but their promises to inform them when the doctors' work was done fell on deaf ears. The three alicorns they only stared at the doors with broken looks and pure desperation in their eyes. Seeing that there was no way to reason with them while they were in this state the nurses and guards let them be but not without worry.

Each of the mares blamed themselves for wronging the human, their beloved Isaiah. They just had to know that he was okay and everything was going back to where it was, but deep down they knew that it was wishful thinking.

''Celestia... do you think that he?...'' whimpered Luna, eyes red from tears and the fear of losing her first, and only, friend in a thousand years.

''He'll live.. He just has to.'' said Celestia, without turning from the doors, ''It's all my fault, I should've never mentioned doing that to him.''

Luna's head lowered and a whimper escaped at the thought of Isaiah dying. ''Sister that wasn't what we meant, we wished to know if our beloved will still love us?''

''Auntie, I’m not sure he does.'' said Cadance, almost completely blind with tears. She had to took a moment to magically clean her face, gaze never moving from the door, ''What we did probably destroyed all of his trust in us and... and I-I-I think he'll leave us.''

When those words left Cadance's mouth she instantly regretted it, both Celestia and Luna didn't need hear those words no matter how likely they could come true. Both Celestia and Luna's heads lowered and their tears splattered on the floor whimpers rumbling in their throats. Cadance wanted to to wrap them in her wings and comfort the older mares, but she could bring herself to do it. After all, she was the one who poisoned the man that had stolen her aunt’s hearts, the third heel to their relationship, the one who didn't belong.

She, unlike the older alicorns, had a husband, somepony to come home and cuddle with on cold winter nights. It wasn't Celestia's fault, it was hers. She gave him the drug, the one who doled out the fatal amount. Why did she give him so much? She should've known the vast differences between humans and ponies weight, height, and biology why didn't she account for that? Before she could find answer, the doors opened for the first time in hours revealing the same doctor that had galloped alongside them on the way to the medical bay.

''How is he?'' asked Luna and Celestia simultaneously, their voices doing a poor job in hiding their desperation.''Please tell us that he's alright!''

''It's difficult to say Princesses... we had never worked on a pon-person such as Mr. Isaiah, we have no idea if our medicines will aid his at all. Fortunately he is well enough that he has the ability to speak.'' said the doctor, magically lighting a pipe and taking a deep pull to calm his rather frazzled nerves. ''But I wonder how he gotten that much flunitrazepam in his system in the first place, the toxin levels in his body tells me that he took the drug a fortnight ago, yet I can't seem to find the reason why it took his body so long to react to it...''

Being reminded of why the lone human was there in the first place was like a slap across the muzzle to the three mares. They all looked to each other sharing the pain of what could've happened once more; Cadance couldn't find it in herself to meet her fellow lovers’ grazes. It was not long until the room was trap in silence

''He's been asking for you.'' The doctor says suddenly taking the mares by surprise.

''So he's alright?'' asked Cadance nervously.

''Depends on your understanding of alright,'' said the doctor frowning, ''but he wants to see you. I suggest you go now, no telling on how long we'll be able to keep him from jumping out the window.... For a third time.''

The mares rushed past the doctor before he stepped on Cadance's tail casing her to let out a yelp that also caused the other mares to stop and look back. A stern look from the doctor reminded them that they were needed elsewhere. With a apologetic looks, the sisters left their niece behind and returned to reuniting with their beloved.

Once the sisters were gone the doctors glared at the pink alicorn sternly, a complete change in demeanor from the earlier tired expression . ''I'm sorry Princess Cadance, he was asking only for Celestia and Luna, in good conscience I can not allow you to see my patient... it is not be a good idea for you to go and see him.'' The doctor removing his hoof from her tail.

''B-B-but why?'' asked Cadance upset at the doctor's refusal.

''Doctor's orders.'' He grunted.

''And why does that mean I can't see him? I have much right to see him as my aunts.'' Cadance said defiantly worry written on her face, ''If I have to, I'll order you to allow me to see one Mr. Isaiah''

''One, in accordance of 'Official Hospital Rules page 64, section 9, line 567 sub-section 3 as decreed by her majesty Princess Celestia' The commanding medical officer has the right to deny entry to anypony at their own discretion or those that the patient refuses to see. This rule overrides your authority as a sitting princess and a foreigner due to the fact that the ancient ponies of my trade and your aunt agreed that all of the tribes and species were bound by this rule.. Two, what is this about shock collars?'' The doctor, seeing the words made the pink princess to go pale, lowers his voice to a deadly whisper. ''Yes, I know about those shock collars you used on Mr. Isaiah. He didn't even need to tell me he, did you know that he has marks on his body, subtly yes, but marks nonetheless. I don't know why you put them on him, or what he had done that deserved that kind of method... little filly, you have no idea how much trouble you set your hooves in.''

Isaiah's Room

Isaiah's breathing was slow and deep like a furnace. Just like the calm before the eruption and before earth turned to hell. It was a old calming technique... one that wasn’t even fucking working given the current and past actions of a pink alicorn that wouldn't be named.

It was all he could do but to glare at the pile of nurse-ponies that saw it fit to dogpile (ponypile?) on top of him to keep him in bed. of course they forgot it was a hot day in the first place and forming a pile of pony fur wasn't the most helpful course of action. Isaiah's body felt heavy even without the pony pile. It was very uncomfortable for the lonely human, it was also one of the reasons why he never took drugs: the heaviness, and the sluggish feeling.

''Get off,'' croaked Isaiah's rather dry voice, ''HOT!!!! It's too HOTTTTT!!!''

''Sorry Mr. Isaiah, but the doctor ordered you to stay in bed and this is the only wa-”

''What's going on here?''

''Sister this is the right room? I can't see anything in here beside a very comfortable looking pony pile...''

At the sound of two very familiar voices the lone human let out a groan, ''Celestia, Luna, thank god..... Get these fucking nurses off of me! I feel like they trying to fucking bake me alive, I don't want to be a cupcake!''

''Isaiah?''

''Yes it's me! what were you expecting? Twilight with hot pink fuzzy hoofcuffs and a leather riding crop?!?'' Shouts the disgruntled human.

''Oh my,'' said Celestia with a titter ''so, that's where my hoofcuffs went.''

''And my riding crop! Sister, I had no idea how naughty your student is, I say we punish her!'' says Luna giddily lighting her horn and removing the pile of mares from Equestria's only human. Now free, Isaiah sits up with his back against the headboard letting out a small sigh of relief before the sister's words hit him.

''Wha- you know what, I’m not even going to ask.'' says Isaiah, shaking his head before his eyes darken with a spark of remembrance, ''I want to talk with you both....alone.''

At the tone of his voice, the sisters flinched but complied. With a nod from each of them the nurses scampered out of the room at a speed that would make a certain cyan mare blush in jealously.

Once the three lovers were alone in the room, the sisters sealed off the room so no one would be able to interrupt or eavesdrop on them. A method the immortal sisters had mastered long ago.'' Celestia, Luna, do you love me?''

''Isaiah... of course we love you,'' said the sisters, ''you are our beloved, our mate...when Alicorns mate they mate for life. Because we live thousands of years, We can be very picky when selecting a lover, but once we do we never let go. That is how much you mean to us.''

''Then WHY did you let her do that to me! You know that I could've died! I told her I didn't want to because that ain't the way I was raised, AND it bothered me to think of her that way! I-I-I trusted her and she drugged me so she could put shock collars on me. Collars meant for fucking animals! ANIMALS!!! Then rapes me, she fucking raped me.'' Isaiah cried out in tears '' How could you say that you love me when you let her do it!? Explain that to me!''

''Heat makes mares do things that they would never normally do,'' said Celestia sadly, ''Cadance went too far... We went to far, please, if you need to blame any pony then blame me it was my idea.''

''Please understand, beloved, we never meant to harm you. We were in heat and we honesty didn't know that flunitrazepam could affect you so.'' Luna cried, taking a step towards the still recovering human, '' We love you so very much.''

''I don't know if I can believe you,'' whispered Isaiah solemnly, his first balling up before relaxing again. ''I understand that you weren't in control of yourselves but.... This is something- fuck, this isn't something that’s going away.''

''What are you saying Isaiah? Are you leaving us?'' questioned a shocked Celestia. '' No,” she said, shaking her head as tears licked the corners of her eyes, ”please my love we... we can change, give us a chance...''

''We would do anything! Anything! To make it up to you... Please beloved, don't leave us '' cried Luna desperately, the heartbreak showing itself in both her face and voice.

Both Luna and Celestia launched themselves onto the bed. Crawling up to the lone human desperately begging him not to leave them, to give them another chance.

Isaiah didn't know what to do, the whole situation was alien to him, and with good reason. One, he had little experience in relationships. Two, the morals he grew up with were screaming at him for being with a married mare, and dating outside of his race. And lastly, he had just faced very traumatic date rape and almost died because of it. ''I don't know.... I should Christ I should leave ya'll I seen entire lives ruined by this kind of shit. Our relationship will be never the same, but I just don't know. I love you girls, yet since I came here I don't know anything.'' Isaiah said after finding the words and a way to stay calm ”Take me home, I-I don't know if I can trust ya'll, or if I will ever trust you two again... I just need some time to think.....''

''Please beloved we want to stay with you, to love you,'' said softly Luna nuzzling the human's leg, ''We are your mates; we need to be with you.''

''Luna.... I can't.... I need to think.''

"But-" Luna attempted to say more but a hoof from her sister stopped her. Luna looked from her human lover to the white Alicorn, taking note of the unsaid reasoning in the older mare's eyes.

''Luna, we'll grant his wish. If he wants time then time he shall get..... Isaiah when will you leave?'' asked the white mare sadly, surprising her younger sister at how quickly she was to accept Isaiah's words.

''As soon the Docs let me out of the bed.'' Said Isaiah tiredly and looking away from the two mares. '' I don't expect to return Canterlot anytime soon.”He looked away from the disappointed faces of the two sisters to the nearby window of the Canterlot skyline.

“I always hated this town.....''
