He wasn't allowed in the room, and the pained screaming coming from inside was driving a rusted knife through his very soul. Sliding against the wall to the floor, Sombra breathed deeply before laying his head against the floor as he counted each second that passed, wishing for your pain to stop, for everything to be okay. When a high pitched wail made him snap his head up. Quickly standing the shadow colt started pacing in front of the door when shouting, and other sounds started coming from the room. Feeling his heart leaped to his throat, Sombra felt paralyzed when he watched the doctor and nurses suddenly rush you out of the delivery room and down the hall. Ears ringing the dark coated stallion made a step to follow after you when a pale pink nurse stopped him. Hearing her muffled voice Sombra turned to her but couldn't hear or understand what she was saying through the ringing until she started pulling him into the room you came out of. It was like the world was slowing down too much or it was moving faster than he was, he didn't know but when he saw a tiny light gray filly squirming and fighting against being wrapped in a blanket. All sound and feeling came back to him in an instant. Immediately going to his child's side and forcing the nurse away with a harsh glare aimed at her before gently turning to his new daughter. "No need for such a fuss little one I am here. And I see you've taken more after me than your mother." Sombra said soothingly letting the small filly flip over onto her belly before turning to look up at her father curiously while tilting her head at him. Going onto his hind legs to rest him forelimb next to his child the shadow colt lightly petted his daughter unaware of the agony you were still in. Clenching your jaw to suppress the scream in your throat, you panting heavily as the doctors prepped to surgically stitch the long tear your daughter caused. Screaming when a large contraction hit you, you tossed your head to the side as tears and sweat dripped down your face and neck. "Nurse get the ketamine and the transfusion! Ms. (Y/N) I need you to hold one, you've lost more blood than we've anticipated." Goodheart said, trying to stem the bleeding as his nurses rushed around the room. Swallowing thickly you winced when your vision blurred for a second before clearing. But in that one second you thought you saw somepony in black standing in the corner with another hovering close by. Gasping as a contraction hit again you cried out for your husband as Goodheart put the last stitch in place and hooked a blood transfusion to your forelimb. "We need you to have more blood in your system before we can move on to the c-section." Goodheart said, making you weakly nod when one of the nurses called for him. Watching the blue colt leave you felt a presence still in the room making your breath quicken. Looking around you jolted in pain with another contraction when you heard. "We have never made a deal with a mortal before Asima. And I don't plan to start now." You heard a soothing voice say as a feminine giggle was followed next. Looking around the room for the voices again you bit your lip as pain shocked your system again. "Vitam can't you see that she's in pain? She'll be able to see and hear us soon." A sensual sounding voice said making you frown and grit out. "I-I can already hear you. My question is who are you?" Making the mystery visitors gasp in shock. "Oh she's much closer than we originally thought then." The female voice said as the male's deepened a bit "No, that's the spell's work at hoof. Mrs. (Y/N) has gone against the natural cycle of life and therefore is almost on par with us." Vitam said walking forward as your breath hitched making the monitor you were hooked up to scream at your sudden heart rate. Completely frozen in place as the snow white colt walked forward you remembered the old illustrations your mother once showed you of the reaper who collected the souls of the dead. But that's not what scared you now, it was his second form, his flesh slowly fading away leaving behind a half skeleton something the legends say would only happen if he were beyond mad, meaning that he's pissed right now. Ear flicking when the doors slammed open you jumped as Goodheart and the nurses rushed to your aid making the raven maned stallion glance at them as he stepped aside to let them through. "Mrs. (L/N) you must calm down! You're going to worsen your condition!" Goodheart said sternly as you kept absolute eye contact with the reaper until a light gray hoove smacked him upside the head making you flinch in shock and turn to the lava like maned pegasus who turned a seductive smile your way before you suddenly lost consciousness. "Anima, stop trying to interfere. We are not going with your foolish desires." Vitam hissed making the grey mare roll her violet eyes and flick her companions horn. "Oh? But you feel it too don't you? Ever since this sweet little mare brought back Sombra our forces have been connected to her because she had to pull against both our magic to fully bring Lord Darkness back." Anima said getting the colt to sigh as he returned to his natural looking form and shifted his scythe onto his shoulder. "Yes, this is true but the coast of that spell she used would shave off 5 years from an occult group of possibly 20 members. But she's only one mare, she should have died the night she performed that spell." Vitam said adamantly looking up at the flying mare who crossed her arms. "That's what also connects her to us. Because she went against us, went against death itself. Her body and spirit has changed to nearly match the princesses and us." Anima said unwaveringly, when she felt her heart clench at a nearby death, making her bite her lip roughly. "And so far everything is working in our favor if it's to go on like it is now." She said as an anguished shout was heard from down the hallway.
