Chapter 8:No More
Nienta awoke to a whoove holding his own. He couldn't remember where he was or how he had gotten where he was. He turned to his left and saw whos
whoove it was. Star smiled at him. "You're awake." Star said softly.
Nienta was both confused and relieved beyond belief. "You're alive?"
Stars smile grew wider. "Thanks to you."
"Me?"
"Yeah. Don't you remember? The nurses said that you had dragged me twelve miles."
Nienta didn't remember. "The last thing I remember was you you shouting in pain."
"Nienta. The pony folk here folowed your tracks. The piece of bark you used to drag me here was two miles from where I was injured. The nurses said
if their predictions were right then you would have run the distance in under a minute."
"What are you saying?"
Star leaned over and kissed his whoove. "It means I am forever greatful."
Nienta felt his cheeks get hot. "Wait why...?"
"Why do you think. You're the only reason I came on this journey." Nienta was agahst. "You were the first pony that actualy made me feel free."
"Me?"
"Yeah. And even though I'm in a hospital, I'm just glad I get to be here with you."
Nienta was happy that she had chosen to come with him for the sole purpose of just being with him. Then a nuse a walked up to Nienta. "Excuse me?"
The nurse said softly. "You are going to need some more rest."
"Alright." And with that the nurse left.
"Good night Nienta." Starsaid and kissed his whoove again.
Nienta drifted off to sleep.
Nienta was scared. He wasn't dreaming. He was having a nightmare. In his nightmare stood in front of a silver Alicorn. He did't recognize the Alicorn
but he had heard enough to know that it was Argenta. She was talking to a silver timber wolf. He moved closer to try and here what they were saying.
"He was not traviling alone. The purple alicorns foal was with him. She is wounded badly and will not likely last the night."
Nienta felt sick.
"I want tat clot dead. If he continues to live he could defy my rule."
"Yes my queen."
Nient woke with a jump. He breathed heavily.
Star woke up. "What's wrong?"
Nienta looked at her, sarrow filled his heart. It was his fault she had nearly died. "Something terrable is coming." Nientas breathing slowed. Anger
built within him. It was not a dream. Argenta had sent those out to hurt him, and got Star hurt instead. Nienta was not going to let that pass by.
Nienta stood as fast as he could. "Where are you going?" Star asked.
Nienta didn't look at Star, for fear of crying. "I'm going to Canterlot."
"Well wait for me."
"NO!"Nienta said this louder than he had thought.
Star stepped back with a small bit of fear. "Why?"
Nienta did turn around now, ters streaking his face, but he kept a strong voice. "The timber wolf that attacked you was meant to come after me alone."
"What?"
"Argenta sent it out after me. It hurt you and now Argenta will pay. I don't want you getting hurt again. Not because of me."
"I'm with you for the journey, weather you like it or not."
"I love it."
"Huh?"
"I love thatyou are willing to stay with me Star... But I just couldn't face myself if you got hurt again."
"Please let me come." She said this in a soothing whisper.
"I can't." Nienta regreted sayng no to Star. "But I need you to keep something for me"
"What?" Nienta leaned forward fast and kissed Star. He kissed her hard, but not fast. He didn't let off as Star kissed him back.
"That." And almost as son as he said it he was gone, running strait for Canterlot.
But even after he had left, Star still felt the kiss. And she wanted more.
