Chapter 9 Secrets Revealed
It was another sixteen hours later before I allowed them to examine my back. I just had to make sure that Rainbow Dash was alright, I felt it was right.
Once they finally checked me out, which took another hour, they finally identified me as having severe burns and suffering from extreme exhaustion, I couldn't tell.
They then treated my back for the burns, which took less than ten minutes. Finally they let me go see Rainbow Dash, I honestly couldn't wait. I ran through the corridors trying to get to her room as soon as possible.
When I finally got there I saw Rainbow Dash laying there, her eyes closed and a smile spread across her face. I smiled as well and pulled up a chair. I wasn't going to leave Rainbow Dash's side, not now, not ever again. I sit down in the chair and I finally take the time to rest my head on the side of the bed as I let sleep embrace me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8 Hours Later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I felt a tapping on my shoulder, waking me from my slumber. I open my eyes to see a cyan blue mare with a rainbow mane looking down at me, tears silently rolling down her eyes.
"Thorn," Rainbow Dash said, "you saved my life."
I chuckled at this,
"Of course I saved your life, Dash, why wouldn't I?"
She splutters at this, unable to come up with an answer,
"Well, it's just that…well…"
"Dash," I whisper, "I love you, and I want you to know that I won't let anything hurt you ever again, okay?"
She blushes and nods,
"Thank you, Thorn, I really appreciate it." I nodded before standing up.
"Are you hungry? I can go get us some food." I said, Rainbow Dash only smiled and shook her head in response,
"No, Thorn, I'm not hungry. Thank you for asking though." I nod before leaving the room to get some food.
I returned about thirty-five minutes later with some food, when I entered the room I saw Rainbow Dash asleep again, a Daring Doo book in her hooves. I silently chuckle to myself before leaving the room and closing the door behind me.
About four hours later I went back and checked on her and saw, to my surprise, that Rainbow Dash had awoken.
I slowly opened the door and she looked up at me and smiled,
"Hey there, Thorn, did you get some food?" she asked.
I nodded and walked back over to the side of her bed and once again pulled up a chair.
"How are the wings feeling?" I asked her before suddenly she burst out laughing.
"I can't even feel them, Thorn, their numbed." I smiled and nodded. That's good, I thought, at least she won't feel any pain, if there was any to be felt.
"So, Dash, when are you going to get out, do you know?" I asked.
She shook her head, no. I nodded and stood up.
"Where are you going, Thorn?" she asked, I put my hand up to her, wait, and walked out of the room.
I walked through the corridors and came up to the office of the doctor who had operated on Rainbow Dash, I knocked and politely waited, I didn't have to wait long.
The door opened and I was greeted by her doctor. I looked him over, taking in every detail, his vibrant green coat, his gray mane, and his startling blue eyes.
"Hello, you must be the dragon who brought in Rainbow Dash! What is it that you desire?"
I smiled before starting to speak,
"Actually doctor, that's exactly what I was going to talk to you about, how long will Rainbow Dash be in here?" I asked.
Suddenly a very thoughtful look came over the doctors face,
"I would have to say, at least three weeks." My heart sank; this was going to be a long three weeks.
I said farewell to the doctor after thanking him for his time and slowly made my way back to Rainbow Dash's room. When I finally arrived I once again was greeted by the sight of a sleeping Rainbow Dash, like before I waited for her to wake up.
When she finally awoke she smiled at the sight of me,
"Hey there you big dragon, any news?" she said.
I was slightly taken aback at her greeting, but I quickly shook it off and answered,
"Yes, I learned that you will be staying here for at least three weeks."
She suddenly, quickly went from her mood of cheer to one of sadness and disappointment,
"That blows," she said quietly.
I nodded and sat on the bed as I wrapped her in an embrace, careful not to hurt her wings, after wrapping her in the embrace she pulled away slightly and looked right into my eyes,
"But, it's all worth it."
I was taken by surprise at this statement.
"How is that so?" I asked.
she smiled at me once again,
"Because you're still alive, and I honestly don't know what I would do without you."
I blushed slightly at this; I loved this side of Rainbow Dash's personality, the side of her personality reserved for me, and me only. This was her sweet side, her kind side, her loving side.
I went to get up from the bed to do some things around the hospital but was quickly stopped,
"Thorn, don't leave me, please."
I was once again surprised but I happily obliged and stayed in place.I looked at Rainbow Dash and that's when I noticed the strange look she was giving me, her face was covered in a look of semi-concentration, she was blushing extremely, and she was pursing her lips as if trying to make a tough decision.
I opened my mouth to ask what was wrong when suddenly her lips met mine and she pulled me into a kiss, surprising me and causing me to struggle for a few moments before letting into my desires of the previous days.
As we kissed I heard her moan in slight pleasure, encouraging me to deepen the kiss. As I deepened the kiss I too moaned and started to enjoy the kiss, abandoning all thoughts about us being adoptive siblings. I mean, we aren't really related.
Then Dash abruptly stopped kissing me and pulled away, causing me to gasp. I looked into her eyes, and she into mine, and then we both said
"I love you."
Ah, I love cliffhangers; they add so much suspense do they not? Well I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter; I hope you enjoyed the kissing scene, although it was very short. Please review, I need your feedback!
