Healing

1. Wounded

Shadow suddenly realized somebody had caught him.

He looked up, and saw the pink mare, her face full of worry. His eyes widened in shock, however, he did not have this time to be so.

"Sweet Celestia! What happened to you?!"

Pinkie helped him stand, and held him up with one hoof under his right arm.

Shadow grunted his words out. "I was fighting.... An enemy... And.."

He removed his hand to look at his injury. The huge gash ran across his chest, blood seeping out onto the floor. bruses were abundant on his forehead, arms, and legs.

Pinkie gasped loudly with concern.

"You need immediate attention!"

She bumped him onto her back, Shadow laying horizonal. He groaned in pain in response.

"Oh! Sorry! Come on, I'll take you back to sugarcube corner! We can fix you there!" In a flash, Pinkie pie galloped back to Ponyville, and to her house.

To Shadow, everything was a blur. Was he dreaming? Hallucinating?

He felt his hand brush the pony's soft, magenta pink mane.

No. This was real.

He felt his arms wrap around her neck softly, holding onto her.

Pinkie seemed to not mind this, as she was driven by urgency to save him. the door of sugarcube corner was in her sights.

 She bust though the door and ran to the stairs leading up to her room.

When Pinkie got to her bed, she threw her blankets on the floor, and carefully layed Shadow down.

"I have some big bandages and an emergency kit downstairs." She ran to the top of the stairway. "Keep pressure on it!"

Shadow nodded. "I know. It slows down the rush." He replied to her, pushing his hand on the injury as she ran down.

She came back with the supplies. First, she put a towel on his gash. Second, she poured rubbing alcohol on another towel, and placed it on the injury.

"Keep it there."

Pinkie was working frantically.

She wasn't no doctor, but she had to do something! There was no way she could get a doctor here in time before his demise.

Out of the emergency kit, Pinkie pie took out a numbing solution, mixed up by zecora, a bag of ice, and some medical string, with the needle.

"we have to deal with this now."

She looked up at him, with concerned eyes. Shadow finally got a good look at them. Big, sky blue. Full of emotion.

"Can you handle it?"

 Shadow closed his eyes. She had...

Blue eyes.

'..... A Beautiful Soul.'

He exhaled.

"Yeah. There's always a little pain in life."

"Okay." Pinkie took the whole roll of string to her mouth. She held the Needle with her curl of hair, The numbing medicine in her hoof.

'Just stich like rarity did. We didn't take those lessions together for nothing.'

She worked though the night, carefully stitching Shadow back together. It was painful, and her hooves her caked, but it was worth it. At the end, she wrapped bandages around his torso, then his head.

It was still night fall as she finished.

They both stared at eachother in disbelief.

"You.... saved my life."

"I...did."

Silence fell. Pinkie stood up slowly, and walked over to her bathroom to wash up.

Shadow was dumbfounded. He looked down at himself. She didn't do the stitches precisely, but she did it. Enough to... Save his life. Pinkie walked back over to Shadow.

"Why?"

"Hm?"

He looked at Pinkie. "Why did you save me? A Stranger?"

Pinkie pie beamed. "You needed help, and anypony who needs help will always have my side!"

Shadow blinked. Her personality was overly cheery. Bubbly.

".... Thank you."

Pinkie pie picked up the blankets, and layed them over Shadow.

"It's no problamo, besides, this is the most excitement I've had in a while."

Pinkie hopped to the stairs.

" Oh, I'm Pinkie pie by the way!"

"Shadow." He replied back, before Pinkie hopped downstairs again. "I don't want to see you move a muscle!" She yelled.

Shadow just stared up the ceiling.

"Did I... Chaos control with that emerald? Hmm... Eggman said it had extra energy......

-!

 from that Black Mist. I guess... I'm in a new world."

Suddenly beside him, something was glowing. He looked over.

It was the chaos emerald. Still powerful. By what?

He gasped.

When he touched the stone, the glowing softened to that of a nightlight.

He hid the emerald under the blankets. He didn't want to worry that cotten candy colored pony, of the powers the emerald held.

Pinkie came back up with an extra blanket and pillow for herself.

"You need to rest for as long as you're hurt." She walked next to the bed and placed her things down.

"So, You can stay in my bed 'til then!"

"Thank you. Really."

Pinkie pie smiled at him.

"Like I said, It's no problem. Just trying to do the right thing." She went over to the light switch.

"Try to get some sleep Shadow. I'll have the perfect thing for you in the morning!"

"Okay."

The lights turned off, and Pinkie went and layed down on her spot.

"Night Shadow."

"Night. Pinkie pie."

Shadow turned his head Away from Pinkie and rested his hand on the pillow.

'The luck I have.'
