Shimmer groaned in agony forcing her legs to move. Every part of her body hurt, her back, arm and eye especially. She reached around with her right hand as she got into a sitting position but paused when she felt nothing hit her… wait… using her good eye, she looked down in horror to see that her right arm was completely missing from elbow down.
Panic gripped her as she shot out the bed with a stumble, almost tripping on the hospital gown she had been clad in. She used her good arm to prop herself on her IV and began to make her way towards the bed across from her, fear etched on her face.
“…She.. she’s just a kid. She was just a kid. Was it…” The loud and furious voice of Nero had quieted to something lost… and then it sounded like he was about to start sobbing. “… quick …?”
The response he got was mumbled, but it still resulted in tears.
The bed next to Shimmer’s was empty.
“…” Shimmer froze in her tracks as she heard Nero speak. Moving quickly, she stopped in front of the bed… only to see it completely empty.
“No…” she said in a wavering voice, tears beginning to fall from her eye. “No… oh please, Celestia NO! NOOO!” She cried, collapsing loudly into a heap on the floor her IV tipping over to the floor.
She lay there on the floor, squirming pathetically as she ran a hand through her hair, sobbing her eye out. In her grief, she let out an earsplitting cry, one so loud it echoed through the room and could be heard well into the next, the pain and anguish heard clearly in it.
