The Life of Autumn Frost

It was Applejack’s turn to watch Frost. She switched spots with Rainbow Dash in the chair they all had to sit in on the watch. “Feel anythin out ah place Frost?”

“Just a hollow feeling in my heart.”

“What does it feel like Sugarcube?”

“Like I have no way out of a curse I hold. It just stabs me.”

“Don’t worry Sugarcube; we’ll get you a cure.”

They both just sat there staring at each other for a while. Applejack sitting in the chair. Frost sitting on the bed. Then Frost went to his pillow, took something out from underneath it, and pulled the covers over his head. He was under the covers for a long time before Applejack spoke up.

“What are you doin under there Frost?” she asked. Frost was silent. “Come on now, you gotta tell me.”

“If I told you… you would take it away.”

Applejack got up from the chair and trotted over to Frost. She bit the covers over Frost and yanked them away. She saw Frost holding a small pocket knife in his mouth with blood at the blade. There was also a small gash in Frost’s wrists. “Gimme here,” said Applejack.

“Go away.” Applejack tried to take the knife from Frost but he pulled away.

“I’M JUST GOING TO HURT EVERYPONY ELSE!” Frost shouted at her.

“Come on now Frost. Don’t talk like that. You need to knock it off with this.”

“Get away Applejack.”

“I don’t wanna have to fight you now. Please Frost. You’re a great friend. I don’t like to see my friends get hurt let alone hurt themselves,” Applejack pleaded.

Frost dropped the knife from his mouth, got off of the bed, and punched Applejack hard in the mouth. She fell to the steel floor and felt the blood building up in her mouth. She got up and saw Frost putting the knife to his wrists again. He was wincing as he splattered his own blood across the already damp white bed sheets.

Applejack got up from the floor. “Ahm sorry if I want to help you get out of this,” she said, blood spurting from her mouth. She then bit Frost’s right leg and yanked him off the bed and onto the floor. The knife dropped from Frost’s mouth and Applejack slid it away with her hoof. “I don’t like doin this and ahm pretty sure you don’t like me doin this either,” said AJ looking down at Frost.

Frost bucked Applejack up off the ground with his hind legs and she spat out blood as she landed on the bed. “Maybe I want to do this AJ,” said Frost as he stood up from the floor next to Applejack’s hind legs. Applejack bucked her legs out at Frost’s chest but Frost moved out of the way. Applejack got off the bed at the opposite side of Frost and bucked it at him. The bed shot out at Frost and he jumped over it and lunged at Applejack with his right hoof. Applejack spun to the right and used her right hoof to punch Frost to the floor. Frost lay on the ground holding his jaw with his hoof. He felt the bruise that was building up quickly and then looked up at Applejack.

“Hit me again Applejack,” he demanded.

“Ah won’t Autumn Frost,” she replied.

“I said hit me.”

“No Frost.”

“HIT ME!”

“NO!”

“HIT ME! COME ON DO IT APPLEJACK!”

“NO FROST!”

“HIT ME APPLEJACK! HIT ME ALREADY!” Frost started to punch Applejack in the chest. “HIT ME APPLEJACK!”

Applejack broke down and punched Frost across his face as hard as she could. “ARE YA HAPPY NOW FROST?!” she screeched at him.

“Hit me again.” She hit him. “Hit me again.” She hit him. “Harder.” She hit him harder. “Harder.” She hit him harder. “Again.” She hit him again. “Again.” She hit him again. Frost had blood pouring from his mouth. “Again.” His right eye was black. “Again.” A gash in his forehead. “Again.” He started to cry. “Again.” He said sobbing. “Again.” She hit him again. “AGAIN!” She hit him again. Frost was silent. Applejack was now crying with Frost.

Frost vomited blood and other objects onto the floor. “I guess I am I-insane aren’t I A-Applejack?” He asked between sobs.

“Ya aren’t insane Sugarcube. You just…”

The steel door opened and Rarity gasped at the sight. “Frost Applejack, are you two okay?” she asked.

Frost coughed blood onto the floor and said, “Go get me a straight jacket.”
