Kieran wakes up with a gasp. He grasps at his chest as a burning sensation spreads through his torso. Kieran lets out a grunt of pain as he sits up and rests his back against a hard piece of wood. Kieran takes a deep breath to calm himself down before looking at his surroundings, hoping to learn something about his location.
Kieran is surrounded by 4 blue walls with posters of the anatomy of horses dotted across them. The roof is a an oddly painted green wood. The floor is a yellow two tone checkered pattern, cleaned and polished to sparkle. Kieran looks down at his legs and sees a boysenberry coloured blanket covering his lower half. Kieran grabs the blanket and throws it off of the bed, before slowly sliding off of the bed. As he lands his legs shake and nearly buckle underneath his own weight.
"ANITA?!" Kieran shouts as he stumbles towards a door.
He stumbles through the door and into a hallway before falling onto his stomach. Kieran lets out a growl of pain as his chest takes the force of the fall.
"ANITA?! ANITA I'M HERE!" Kieran shouts as he uses his hands to crawl down the hallway.
Kieran crawls towards one of the adjacent walls and uses it to struggle to his feet.
"Anita?" Kieran pants out as a wave of tiredness rushes over him.
Kieran then uses his remaining strength to continue stumbling through the hallways that seemingly lead him in a circle. As Kieran prepared himself to go around for the 4th time in a row he stumbles into a door that leads out into the waiting room of a hospital.
"Anita? Anita are you here? Please..." Kieran asks as he stumbles into the middle of the waiting room.
Kieran then stumbles towards the help desk.
"Where's Anita?" Kieran asks with a growl.
The person, no creature at the desk looks at him in terror.
"A horse? I don't have time for this shit!" Kieran shouts as he grabs a mug that was being used to hold pens.
Kieran then throws the mug at the door he stumbled through. The mug hits it with a large amount of force, shattering it the instant it hits the door.
"ANITAAAA!" Kieran shouts as he stumbles out of the hospital and into the blinding sun.
The amount of time he had spent unconcious had been long enough for his eyes to burn and him to get an immediate headache. Kieran growls in pain but continues to stumble out of the hospital. The first step Kieran takes outside is met with a sharp pain to his foot. Kieran looks down at his feet and sees that he's barefooted and the road he's standing on is made of small rocks. Kieran takes another step out onto the rocky road, ignoring the pain. He then stumbles across the rocky road and towards a cartoony looking town to his left.
"This isn't right... Where the fuck am I?" Kieran asks himself.
"HIYA! WELCOME TO..." A voice shouts into Kierans right ear.
The voice fades out as the shock causes Kierans heart to stop, his body feels heavier and heavier until he struggles to keep himself up. A burning sensation spreads across his body before stopping as his body becomes envoloped in a icy cold grip. Kieran grasps at his chest and tries to talk, only for his words to come out slurred and mumbled.
"Wwwhaa? I chan heeea shuu..." Kieran mumbles as he falls back into the darkness that gripped him after he was shot.
As the cold grips Kieran memories of Anita replay in front of him. Memories of him protecting her from the bullies, memories of her beating up people who over-stepped their boundaries and memories of the two of them enjoy the ice cream from their favourite ice cream shop, the place they went to every saturday.
"... sorry... mean... happen..." A female voice cries in his ear.
Kieran turns towards it only to see darkness. Surrounded by darkness he looks behind him and sees a blue wall with one of the posters of a horses anatomy. Kieran then starts to walk towards the wall only to be stopped by a voice behind him.
"Kieran? Did you finally come back?" A familar voice asks with a sniffle.
Kierans eyes go wide as he turns around and sees Anita, stood in the darkness with a teenage girl to her left and a small boy to her right.
"Anita? You're here?" Kieran asks as he starts to jog towards them.
"Don't come this way Kieran, please. Go back in the other direction." Anita says as a smile spreads across her features.
"Go back? But we can be together like you wanted. Like WE wanted." Kieran says as he comes to a stop.
"No we can't. You need to move on." Anita says as she rubs the head of the small boy next to her.
"Anita, I want to be back with you. Back where we were always by eachothers side. I need you." Kieran sniffles as tears start to dribble down his cheeks.
"Take this Kieran, I want you to have it." Anita says as she walks up to Kieran and holds out a closed hand.
Kieran then steps up to her and holds out an open hand underneath her closed one. Anita then opens her hand, dropping something into the palm of Kierans hand. Kieran then opens his hand and sees a small pin in the shape of an ice cream.
"Your birthday gift?" Kieran asks.
"The very one you gave me that changed how I felt about you. You went from being my friend to being my crush." Anita says with a memory filled smile.
"That long? You had a crush on me for that long... I can't even remember how long ago that was now..." Kieran chuckles sadly.
"2 years Kieran, I loved you for 2 years. Wanna know a dirty little secret of mine?" Anita asks with a giggle.
"Sure." Kieran answers with a sniffle.
"I masterbated over you every night. Every single night. I didn't just want you, I needed you. You lit a heat in me that I never knew existed." Anita giggles sadly.
"But if I'm dead, how are you talking to me? How are you telling me all this?" Kieran asks.
"As soon as you died in my arms I threw myself in front of a car. I died seconds after you did. I got one wish before I have to leave existence forever. I wished to talk to you, one last time." Anita sniffles as a tear streaks down her face.
"Can we touch eachother at least?" Kieran asks.
Anita nods her head before burying her face into her hands. Kieran then steps up to her and seperates her hands before planting a kiss onto her lips. Anitas eyes widen as she freezes in shock. Kieran then wraps his hands around Anitas hips. Anita then blinks before kissing back. Anita then starts to unzip Kierans pants, just as the zipper reaches the bottom Anita is then ripped from Kierans arms by the two men that tried to rape her before Kieran died.
"Thanks for getting her all heated up for us, it makes ramming it in easier." The driver laughs.
"You piece of human trash!" Kieran shouts as he runs towards the two men.
Before Kieran can get to them the two men then dissapear into the ground, dragging Anita down with them.
"NO! YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" Kieran shouts at the top of his lungs as he punches at the ground.
"... I'M SORRY!" A female voice cries out.
Kieran then looks back and sees a pink horse sat on its haunches, crying in front of the blue wall.
"She told me I should move on... It's going to be hard but she's right. I do need to move on. Fuck... It's gonna be so damn difficult, but I need to do it." Kieran mumbles to himself with a nod.
Kieran then turns back towards the pink horse and tightens his grip on the ice cream pin. Kieran then sprints towards the crying pink horse. As Kieran is about to run into the pink horse he passes out before slowly waking up in the same hospital bed as earlier.
Kieran lets out a grown as he wakes up. His head throbs in pain and his whole body tingles.
"Fuck..." Kieran groans.
"YOU'RE ALIVE!" The female voice cries out.
"Yeah... I'm alive." Kieran groans.
"I'm really really really really really sorry about what I did, I didn't mean to do it I swear. I promise, I was only trying to welcome you to ponyville." The voice rambles out in a matter of seconds.
"Yeah, yeah. It's cool. Where's the doctor? I could use some paracetamol." Kieran grumbles as he rubs his forehead.
"Oh yeah! He told me to tell him when you woke up." The voice giggles. "I'll be right back."
The sound of tapping becoming quiter and quiter indicated to Kieran that his guest was leaving.
"I'm going to try Anita, just for you." Kieran mumbles.
Kieran then takes a deep breath, readying himself. Kieran then slowly opens his eyes, revealing the blue room he first woke up in. Kieran then pushes his body so that he's sat with his back against the wood again. This time he doesn't try to leave the bed.
"I hear your awake now." A masculine voice says as an orange horse enters the room.
"Yeah, I'm awake doc." Kieran answers.
"You don't seem as freaked out as earlier, have you calmed down?" The doctor asks.
"Not really, I should be freaking out right now as a matter of fact. Talking horses... But... I just don't really care anymore. Someone told me to move on, so I will. If that means with some talking horses then sure. I'll try my best." Kieran explains as he looks up at the ceiling.
"Someone important?" The doctor asks.
"So important that I'll never truly get over them." Kieran sighs.
