Chapter 10 Appleleaves

I awake...All I smell is disgusting big city smell and…Blood, all I feel is that I am getting carried. My wounds…They still hurt.

I finally open my eyes, seeing Chris is carrying me, walking on a road near a river…We are back.

“You woke up, finally. Don’t worry pal, I will…Ugh…Bring you to the hospital…You will be fine. We both will.

I turn my head a bit, seeing the huge blood trail he is leaving behind. He moves slowly onwards, going lamer than usual. The wounds are still open, yet he carries me. My legs are hurt, my head feels…Sleepy.

“The portal…It is gone…Your legs…Maimed.

You can’t walk like that” He says, as he tries to walk steadily and straight forward, which is hindered by his wounds.

“You’re one to talk, you have a huge cut in your chest.” I reply, with a sarcastic voice.

“You know I won’t leave you hanging. You still owe me that pizza, you know?” He tells me.

Slow but safe he moves onward to the hospital. It takes him a long trip, even though its not even a mile long.

Short before we arrive I ask him: “Chris…You told me the portal is closed?”

He looks down to the ground, avoiding my sight, even though I am piggy back and being carried by him: “Yes. It closed itself because we fell as humans into it.”

“So…Discord’s spirit is…” I want to finish my sentence, but get interrupted by him

“Banished in our human world, where his power isn’t able to unleash, yes.”

We don’t talk another word on the last few steps away from our destination.

We walk on to the huge grey cubic hospital, as the door opens itself. The air smells strange…A mixture of blood and medicine is in the air, the room is enlightened by a few windows, yet only one plant is in the room…

It all looks very practical, rather than ethical.

Chris goes onto the counter, and says that we need help, obviously.

The woman then calls another woman which brings us two small vehicles on which we lay down. He gets brought to the left wing and I to the right one.

All I see is that they carry him away very fast, as they push the wagon very quickly.

I get bandaged, and my legs get some iodine on my legs and my other wounds.

Everything goes fast and I don’t get anything…My…Blood loss seems too high for me to grasp all the things happening around. I fall asleep.

I see a barn. I see…Sweet Apple Acres…The apple tree fields, the hill where me and Applejack had our picnics together.

It is fall. All the trees are in different colours; red, orange, yellow, brown…Some are still green. Most of them are falling down, or already have fallen down.

In front of the buildings…There is some pony.

I see Applebloom, Granny Smith, Big Macintosh…I see Applejack.

All of them seem to be smiling at me. All of them seem…Happy. Happy to know that I am there.

Happy to know that I am home…

That this won’t change. But it does. They fade away, one after another…Like leaves from trees, they fall down and rot…One after another fades away.

And suddenly there is another creature, a black Colt…He fades away too.

They fade to grey…To something else.

To a grey surrounding…I wake up.

The world around me looks not as colourful, rather more black and white. All the colours are gone. Everything is just regular, boring, dull…

“Are you alright? You don’t look like it.” A guy in a tunic asks me…A doctor.

“Yes. It’s nothing. I am fine. Can I call home, please?” I ask, as I look onto the doctors eyes.

“Sure, I will bring you a phone.”

As soon as I am home, I will invite Chris and give him this Pizza.

I owe it to him, and I keep my promises.

END.
