Pony's POV
I was released from the hospital a couple weeks later. I still had headaches from time to time, but they were nothing compared to what they had been like. I still had no memory, but the doctor said that it might or might not return. That had depressed me. He had told me that if I could see things that reminded me of my past that it would probably make my memory return faster. The thing was since I had no idea where I was from or who I had lived with, that could be a problem.
I was sitting in the basement, staring at my feet. The door opened and I jerked my head up and watched as Angel trotted down the stairs. She smiled at me and I forced a smile on my face. It must have been obvious that I was faking cause she frowned and sat down on the couch next to me. She placed her hand on my shoulder and kissed my cheek.
"Ponyboy, what's wrong?" she asked.
I sighed and shook my head. "Nothing."
"Ponyboy don't you lie to me. Now tell me what's wrong before I beat the crap outta ya," Angel said.
"Angel, I'm just tired, tired of not knowing of who I am," I told her.
She gave me a sympathetic look and ran her hands through my hair. I kissed her tenderly on the lips and brushed her hair back.
"Ponyboy, starting right now, we are going to find out who you are," she told me.
She got up from her seat and grabbed my hand, pulling me up the steps and out the door. We walked through the house and out into the sunlight of the day.
"Where're we going?" I asked.
"To the place where Tab and I found you," she answered.
I let her drag me down the street and across the road. I lost count of how many turns we took before Angel finally stopped.
"Here it is," she said.
I looked around. We were standing on the side of a road that looked completely disserted. There wasn't a car in sight and the place looked dead. Nothing looked familiar at first.
"Spark any memories?" Angel demanded.
I bit my lip and sighed, shaking my head. I let my gaze wonder around. That's when I sat it. Dried blood. It stained the curb and dripped onto the road. I hesitated. Was that my blood? I glanced over at Angel and she nodded.
I got a sick feeling in my gut. The thought of all of that being mine made me a little queasy. Suddenly there was a ringing in my ears and I dropped to my knees. I could hear Angel calling my name, but her voice seemed so far away. An image flashed in my head.
A car. A red mustang that looked real tuff. Then I saw four guys. Socs. My head was starting to ache. I clenched my eyes together and pressed on my temples. Pain flashed across my cheek, snapping me back to reality. Angel was standing there with a scared look on her face.
"Gosh I'm sorry Ponyboy, but you wouldn't snap out of it. You were just staring straight ahead and it scared me!" Angel exclaimed.
"I-I saw a car and three socs, but it doesn't mean anything to me," I told her.
Angel furrowed her brow and started pacing back and forth, rubbing her forehead.
"Okay, okay, what if the socs are the ones that did this to you?" she asked.
That made sense, but I just wish I could be sure. Just then thunder rumbled in the distance. A flash of lightning lit up the darkening sky.
"We should probably head back," I suggested.
Angel nodded. "Yeah, I don't wanna get caught in this storm."
We started walking back for the house. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and ducked my head against the rising wind.
"Hey fellas, looks like we get another crack at these two."
I spun around and my heart dropped. The socs that had jumped us before were standing there, evil grins on their faces. I felt Angel tense up next to me. The socs stared coming towards us.
"Back off," I growled.
"Or what?" one of the socs taunted.
Angel jerked her blade from her pocket and handed it to me. I flipped it open, never taking my eyes off the advancing socs. They attacked.
Three of em tackled me while the other grabbed Angel. I was on the ground and Angel's blade had clattered from my hand. I kicked and punched, doing everything possible to get away. A hand was snaking its way towards my throat so I bit down on the wrist. I heard a cry of pain followed by a string of curses and a kick to my head. I withered on the ground, trying to protect my face as I got kicked and slugged.
I could hear Angel screaming and I all I wanted to do was to help her. I heard her yelp and that enraged me. I fought even harder.
"Ponyboy!" Angel wailed.
I gritted my teeth and planted my foot in someone's gut. No one hurt Angel! I managed to get to my feet and I fought like a madman. I didn't have a specific target; I just hit whatever got in my way.
My fist hit something hard, breaking the skin on my knuckles.
"My mouth!" a soc cried, "I'm gonna kill him."
"Ponyboy look out!" Angel shouted.
I saw the gleam of metal before I felt searing pain in my shoulder. I cried out and dropped to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Let's get outta here!"
I heard the sound of pounding feet before everything became silent. I felt hands on my head and looked up to see Angel above me, tears streaming down her face. My eyelids started to droop.
"No! Ponyboy, don't close your eyes, stay with me!" Angel commanded.
"A-Angel, it hurts," I winced as a bolt of pain shot through my body.
"I know, I know," she whispered.
I couldn't help it. My eyes fell shut and I felt a drop of water hit my face before falling into oblivion.
So I hope you liked it and please tell me if you want it to end soon or stretch out longer. Also I'm gonna try something new with the next chapter and have it be from Angel's POV. Please review!
