A doctor came out of the hallway and found the group of friends; he walked up to them and started talking, "About your friend…"
With that tone of voice, Rainbow knew it couldn't be good, she started to silently cry.
"He has lost too much blood to be sure if he is going to be okay," the rest started to tear up, "we have fixed the wounds as much as we can, but there will still be noticeable scars. He is currently in a coma, we will keep him in the hospital for as long we can to try to help, but there isn't more we can do. As for his wing, if he does survive this, he may never fly again."
They all started crying, Dylan may not recover from the damage, and if he does, he may not be able to fly. As the doctor walked back into a room Rainbow started thinking of how her life is going to be without Dylan. She knew the reason why he went into the Everfree Forest, was because of her. Rainbow knew it was her fault he got attacked by the Manticore. She didn't know how to live with this guilt. Rainbow didn't know how she was going to continue on, so she figured, she won't continue on.
The thoughts of suicide went throughout Rainbows mind as she thought about not being able to be with Dylan, that she was why he is dying.
The doctor came back out and said to the group of mares, "You can go and see him if you want, but one at a time."
Applejack slowly got up; she followed the doctor to Dylan's room. She and the doctor came back a few minutes later. The same procedure happened with Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight. Fluttershy didn't want to see the scarred body.
Rainbow got up and followed the doctor, as they arrived, the doctor waited out in the hall. Rainbow walked up to Dylan, his glasses on the counter next to him and his hoodie down. Cords from the heart monitor went under the blanket and under Dylan's clothing onto his chest, around the scar.
Rainbow looked upon her lover, tears falling onto the blanket, knowing that nopony can hear her she said out loud, "If you don't come out of this soon, I think I may have to go to Sugarcube Corner and kill myself, I can't live without you Dylan," Rainbow kissed Dylan and walked out of the room.
The doctor led her back to the waiting room; her friends got up and left alongside her.
Applejack went back to work on the apple farm. Pinkie went back to Sugarcube Corner to bake. Rarity went to her boutique to make dresses. Fluttershy headed off to tend to her animals. Twilight had work to do at the Library. Rainbow went back home, she wanted to be alone for the time being.
When Rainbow arrived at her home and walked in the tears have stopped, she is still sad enough to cry, but ran out of tears. She saw Dylan's clothes that Rarity made for him; she also saw the key that was left on the counter. All she wanted was Dylan back, her character from a T.V. show… her wish come true.
By nightfall it didn't get easier for Rainbow Dash, she was still depressed. She laid down on her bed and went to hug Dylan, but then realized he wasn't there.
Twilight couldn't sleep; she was too busy looking through all her books. Looking at every kind of aid she could find, "Come on, come on, there has to be something to help in here," she said out loud to nopony but herself.
Putting the last book back onto a shelf she looked at a particular shelf she didn't want to use. She walked closer to the shelf as the words right below it 'Black Magic' begins to appear.
She pulled out a book that would help with aid, after a few pages in she found what she was looking for. Reading it out loud she said "This spell can only be properly used by a trained unicorn. Magic essence from the unicorn will be transferred into the needed substance. These effects are not permanent, after some time the essence start to fade, and the pony will return to its original state before the spell was casted."
Twilight kept reading, trying to learn the spell. She knew that it would be useless towards Dylan because he will go back to normal, but she wanted to make her friend, Rainbow, happy. Working hard all night until she knew she learned the new spell.
Rainbow woke up in the morning expecting to see Dylan, but then remembered what happened. Rainbow changed her clothes and went to the hospital to check on Dylan. So she went out of her house and flew to the hospital.
When she arrived she walked in and walked to Dylan's room, she looked at his lifeless body, knowing he might not be able to see her again. Rainbow looked at Dylan for a few moments then left the room. Leaving the hospital she saw her friend Twilight walking in.
As Rainbow flew back to her house, Twilight walked into Dylan's room. Twilight knew that it was because of Dylan not having enough blood he might not make it. She focused on the spell, concentrating, her horn started glowing, but instead of the purple-ish aura, it was black.
When she finished with the spell, she didn't see any results, nothing happened. Twilight sunk her head, sad she couldn't help Dylan. She left the hospital and went to the library.
Days went on as Rainbow did the same routine, wake up, go to the hospital, seeing nothing different, and then leaving. Today when she went, she decided to say something.
She went into Dylan's room and looked at his body, a tear fell on his shirt, and she said "I can't live like this anymore… I can't live on, I'm gonna go to Sugarcube Corner, and kill myself."
Rainbow left the hospital and started walking towards Sugarcube Corner, when she arrived, she walked inside.
