Love of Darkness
Chapter 7: Dry Blood
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Heart rate stable." One of Nurse Redhearts's interns say reaching to turn knobs on the heart moniter. "Okay everything is stable except for his core temperature. John, please hand me the artificial cell temperate modulator." Nurse Redheart said with cold blood staining her gloves while possessing what could save Ezio's life. "Okay I need absolute concentratecion." She said holding a needle full of water with black little specks floating around. She jammed the needle with caution into the liquid anesthesia bag which was connected to the hind leg of Ezio. As soon as the shot was drained, the little specks shot straight from the needle, to the bag, and the into his bloodstream.
"Okay....now what?" The intern said taking his blood soaked gloves.
"Now....we wait." Nurse Redheart said walking out of the surgery room.
- In the waiting room-
Everyone was silent and hoping that soon good news would come along. With Rainbow Dash still unconscious and Ezio's condition still unknown, they would take anything. "I have never been in that tense of surgery before." Nurse Redheart he said coming threw the waiting room doors with blood on has her scrubs.
"Is Ezio okay?" Dontoa said looking up for the first time in hours.
"Too early to tell, but I put my docter degree on that he's gonna be up and flying in a matter of days." Everyone was overjoyed by the new but none other than Eclipse and Dontoa.
"Wait... what about Dashie?" Pinkie Pie said as her usual puffy hair went straight down.
"What about me?" A light blue Pegasus said walking from behind nurse Redheart with a smile on her face and a little of dry blood on her cheek.
"DASHIE!!!" Pinkie Pie screamed at the top of her lungs as she nearly tackled her friend with a great hug while her hair popped up. "
Okay Pinkie....can't........breathe..." Rainbow Dash said as her face turned to a deep purple.
"Hehe. Sorry Dashie." The pink pony said rubbing the back of her head.
"Where's Ezio?" Rainbow Dash said looking everywhere in the room.
"You didn't tell her yet?" Applejack said looking at nurse Redheart.
"Tell me what? This isn't funny. Where's Ezio?" Rainbow Dash said with a serious face and a tone to match.
"Ezio was attacked at your house when he went back to get something. I'm sorry Dash." Spitfire said steeping forward. Rainbow Dash was devestated. She was about to break into tears until Pinkie Pie ran up to her.
"Don't worry Dash. Nurse Redheart said that should be up and bouncing and happy in matter of days." Pinkie Pie said
with a smile on her face.
-Eleven days later-
"So man is there a game on tonight." Eclipse said to Dontoa handing him a drink. "Sadly yes. Its Alabama vs Detroi....." Dontoa was stopped by a knocking at the door. "Oh hey Rainbow Dash. What's up?" Dontoa said greeting Rainbow Dash.
"Hi guys. I starting to get worried that Ezio won't be okay." Rainbow Dash said worried.
"Don't worry Dash. Ezio always picks himself up or gets better by the end of day twelve. If not just give him couple of hours. I swear to you, don't worry. He's gonna be just fine. Oh sorry of me do you want to come in?"
"Sure thanks." But just before she entered the house, Pinkie Pie bounces up to them.
"DASHIE, GUYS, IT INCREDIBLE SUPER DUPER FANTASTIC NEWS!!!" Pinkie Pie said bouncing around.
"Pinkie calm down. What's the good news."
"EZIO'S AWAKE. When I went to the hospital to leave him a cupcake basket, I saw him laying up with nurse Redheart." Pinkie said calming down.
"WHAT?!!." Rainbow Dash said excitedly.
"Come on lets go." Pinkie Pie said running followed by Dash, Eclipse, and Dontoa.
-at the hospital-
"Is it true?" Rainbow Dash asked nurse Redheart.
"Yes Rainbow Dash, I found him awake this morning. You can see him if you want. " Nurse Redheart said pointing to his room. Eventually Rainbow Dash found Ezio's room and was greeted by a room full of ponies, pegasi, unicorns, and strangely, Princess Celestia and Luna.
"Rainbow Dash, get over here. Somebody wants to meet you." Twilight said. Everyone moved to show a standing red and black maned Pegasus.
"Hey Dash." Is what he says before she jumps him and starts hugging him until he's face turns blue. "Okay Dash. You're killing me." Ezio said as he saw her starting to cry. "What's wrong Dash?" Ezio said lifting her head to reveal tears.
"It's my fault this happened to you. I'm so sorry." She said as she started making his fur soaked.
"Actually its my fault. I know exactly who did this." Everypony in the room gasped except for Dash. "Her name was Ally, but that isn't her real name. If I can remember what her real name is we could find her." Ezio said with his head down.
"Its okay Ezio. No one blames you." Princess Luna says speaking up.
"Ezio if you're gonna leave I need to show you something. Celestia, Luna, can you follow." Ezio let go of Dash and followed Redheart, Luna, and Celestia out of the room and down the hall.
-in the surgery room-
"What is it?" Is all Ezio can say as he stared into a jar of... something alive.
"It's a breathing life form. When I found it, it was cold as ice and was distributing poision into a heart."
"Okay I don't see how I'm involved in this."
"Ezio, it was attached to your heart."
