Chapter 10
Purple dinosaur and Krystyn finally arrive to where Brendan was located. The rest of the group was still finding their way down the mountain.
"Gillian?" Krystyn asked in a gentle tone as she punched a bush out of the way.
"He might not make it... We should've checked on him sooner... I tried stopping the blood but it kept gushing out... He can-" Gillian started saying as she began to cry.
"Move. Now!" Krystyn interrupted. Gillian's eyes widened in shock at her friend's sudden outburst and she moved out of the way.
"Justin, apply pressure, it'll slow the bleeding but it won't completely stop it. Gillian, go into Ponyville and find a nurse pony. We don't have time to wait." Krystyn said seriously as she hugged Brendan. "You won't die, I can't loose my brother..." She said and Justin took him from her and applied pressure to the gash on Brendan's leg.
"He's already lost so much blood, someone going to need to donate blood if were ever going to save him." Justin said, blood already all over his hooves.
"I know that! But first we need to stitch it up. I doubt Gillian will be able to get the nurse in time." Krystyn said fighting back tears.
"So, he might not make it?" Justin asks with fear in his eyes. No one wants to loose their friend this early in life.
"It's unfortunate but it's the truth." She replied, "purple dinosaur, can you maybe build something that can help?" He thought for a moment but shook his head 'no'. Krystyn sighed and all the ponies finally arrived and surrounded Brendan's unconscious body.
"He'll be alright...right?" Emily asked clearing the ground and gathering a bunch of leaves to create a sort of some bedding.
"He might, there's no guarantee though." Krystyn said looking down at the foal.
All the ponies looked down, pain and fear in their eyes, they didn't want their friend to die but there's not much they can do.
Gillian finally arrived with the nurse pony and they stitched up his leg.
"He's lost too much blood already, we need him to come to the hospital if there's any hope in saving him." The nurse replied.
"Ponyville's too far for us to ever get there in time." Krystyn said and purple dinosaur walked up to her and put his hoof on her shoulder.
"I've got this. I'll need help but I'll find a way to get him there in time. I cant see you guys upset over this hell be okay, just leave it to me." Purple dinosaur said as Justin place Brendan on his back.
"I may need some help." He said looking over at Gillian for assistance.
"Make something that we can both hold so the weight is equal." She said and purple dinosaur dropped Brendan and went to work.
"Kinda looks like... A net type gurney thing" Krystyn said as she put it on purple dinosaur and Gillian. Justin lifted Brendan up and placed him on the gurney thing and Gillian and purple dinosaur took off as fast as they could fly. The group ran below them. Krystyn stopped grabbing Justin and holding him back.
"What are you doing? We need to make sure Brendan will be okay." Justin said looking her in the eyes.
"Uhh... Re-remember when I said that I liked you... But I classified you more as a brother?" Krystyn said looking down at the ground.
"Yea, why?"Justin asked giving Krystyn a curious look. She closed her eyes and hesitated a moment before she stood up on her hind legs. She wrapped her front legs around the back of his head, leaned in and kissed him. He froze not knowing how to respond.
"K-Krystyn...? Uhh..." Justin said with his eyes wide open in shock.
"Incest is wrong but no illegal, remember that." She said, her cheeks were bright red. He just walked forward trying to process the whole thing. Krystyn sighed and followed, but stayed behind him. She couldn't believe she did that.
"What the Hell you two?" PJ said running toward them to see why they had stopped. Justin and Krystyn stayed silent. PJ stood there staring at the both of them for about five minutes while walking backward. "Oh... I get it." He finally said.
"What the Hell do you get PJ? Nothing happened." Justin said.
"You two had the three letter word that starts with S." PJ said winking at Krystyn.
"What!? No! Oh god no!" She screamed and Justin gave her a look.
"Then what?" PJ asked still not getting any of this.
"She kissed me PJ... She kissed me." Justin said, still in shock.
"Oooohhhh... I should've guessed that first, she told me her plan after all." PJ said and Justin stopped.
"She told you about this?" Justin asked.
"Yea, she also told Gillian and maybe a few others, I dunno." PJ replied.
Justin rolled his eyes and continued walking. Krystyn ran ahead to see if she could catch up to the group.
"I can't believe she did that." Justin repeatedly said.
"Well, go get her, marry her, and do a little you know what I. The honeymoon room." PJ said laughing at his own joke. Justin didn't find it funny and just kept walking ignoring any further comments from PJ. It took a while but every pony finally arrived at the hospital in Ponyville. The heart monitor was beeping so his heart was still beating.
"He's going to be okay, he may need help walking for a while but aside from that he's perfectly fine." The nurse pony said.
Everyone sighed in relief. Gillian was especially happy. Brendan finally opened his eyes.
"Guys...?" And everyone looked.
"Sup dude?" Justin asked.
"Umm... Not sure. But literally speaking there's a ceiling." Brendan said. Krystyn walked out of the room gesturing others to follow. Finally Brendan and Gillian were the only two left in the room.
"You're okay." Gillian said sitting on the bed next to Brendan.
"Yea, why wouldn't I be? You know I'm strong, it was easy for me to pull through." Brendan said and Gillian sighed and nodded her head.
"Yea, yea. But still, we couldn't be completely sure. You had already lost a lot of blood and were passed out. If it weren't for Kyle, Justin, and Krystyn you wouldn't be here." Gillian said brushing Brendan's mane back with her hoof.
"You don't know that. I could've still been alive." Brendan said pushing Gillian's hoof away.
"But the chances were slim." She responded.
"Fine. I'm glad I'm here though." Brendan said smiling a little.
"I am too." Gillian hugged him and then lied down next to him.
"It's night time." Brendan said looking out the window.
"Aren't the stars beautiful?" Gillian asked.
"Yea, but not as beautiful as you." Brendan replied. Gillian blushed and then began to drift off.
All the ponies outside the hospital room were already fast asleep except Justin. He couldn't process what had happened earlier that day.
