Hearts of Ice (Closed: Dusty)

Glitter could feel Tem Tem's energy running out. The cold, the snow, the journey. It was too much for any other pony and just barely achievable by the strong unicorn that Tempest was. As they piled through the door her pets swarmed around, eager to see their protector. 

 

Then she was deposited on the couch and the world went dark...

 

Her dreams were a swirl. Falling snow, blood, the distant growl of a bear. She felt throbbing pain, deep hurt, untraceable memories. A filly laughed somewhere in the dark. She groaned in pain, her vision flashed red then electric white like lightening. Then Tempest came into her mind. Strong, solid, a pillar of solidarity. She was enough as she was, more than enough. Glitter's heart beat hard in her chest. She reached a hoof towards the unicorn, striving to pull her close.

 

The door banged open, slamming back on its hinges. In plowed the doctor, the caretaker whom she had asked to care for her many pets. They jumped about him, clawing at his legs for attention. He shooed them away, dropping beside Glitter and opening his medicine bag.

 

"Her fever...it's so intense...the wound is infected." the words came from far away, echoing in Glitter's ear.

 

"Tem..."

 

Days passed. The IV line dripped into Glitter's vein, coaxing her back to life. Drop by drop. A week went by before her eyelids flickered.

 

"T-Tempest?"
