It’s been about six months since the “Doom Tree” incident and most ponies have gotten over it. They still give the Spartans a wide berth being the racist assholes they are. It’s like Zecora all over again! My assistance hasn’t been needed in the grotto in a few months and I'm still surprised they haven’t named the place. Some ponies look at the Spartans with fear of their eating meat. The reaction was similar to what the thestrals must have gotten when Luna returned. Based off my research when Luna was banished the thestrals went into hiding. Lady Fatass made it seem like they were similar yet different. She was actually correct according to Etheria. With my duties for the Spartans done, I had more time to focus on the farm and my actual job. I don’t think my customers were happy I was off the roster because a princess bought my exclusivity rights. Or at least that’s what Smith told them. Jazz made up with Etheria and transferred to her guard. Hell she even eat the apple. Unlike her cousin, she didn’t have the genes to be a queen and was fine with being an airman. I’m just glad I got my barn back, workstation and all.

I found some enjoyment in fixing the wagon. The wheel had been getting stuck lately and Mac asked for my opinion after seeing my bike. As soon as I took a look at the wagon, I knew what the problem was. The entire undercarriage was fucked. “Well fuck.”

Biggs showed up as if on cue. “Is it that bad Hunter?” I don’t know if he was being serious or trying to get me to see the bright side. But I was not amused and gave him a look that said so. “Ok. So it’s bad any idea how bad?”

I take a deep breath “You ain’t gon like what I got ta say Biggs, but Imma say it anyway. I know this belonged to yer daddy and you treasure it but it’s gone. The amount of time effort and money it would take ta fix it would be a serious hassle. I’d have ta rework the entire body just to fit in a new system fer yer axles. It’s getting scrapped, Smith and AJ already signed off on it. I’ll give ya some time alone to say yer goodbyes.” A part of me gawked at how outrageously Cajun I just sounded in the worst way but that part didn’t matter at the moment, I had work ta do!

“I’m sorry daddy, I’m so sorry.” I gave Biggs the room and went into the house, it was time to brush Delicious. I had been spending most of my free time in the house since Clem was murdered by Hercules when he went mad. There were at least ten humans that were slain by that brute, some of them were even friendly to me. Needless to say I took Dragonbane and killed him slowly after slicing his precious arms. All Herc had going for him was his strength and his dick. There wasn’t much in the upstairs department to begin with before he went mad. Needless to say, all the humans had to get shots excluding myself since I kept myself well medicated. I find it funny that the drug that kills the fever of madness is acetaminophen a pill that I have plenty off and know how to make! It was a good thing I had pharmaceutical knowledge force fed to me! Their version was liquid for some reason though. Logic would state that it is a liquid with the same properties as said drug and I confirmed it when I asked Delicious about it. I’m not afraid of shots but the needles they use are flat out too big. I also highly doubt I could catch the madness but it was a good idea to pop some pills for a few days just in case.

Biggs was in there for a full two hours and I just hope he got it out of his system. It kills me that I gotta replace his daddy’s wagon but it’s gotta be done. As I was drawing up plans for the new wagon, I noticed Applejack rustling up sheep. Winter was close and wool would be needed for clothing for both ponies and humans. Or more accurately she was guiding them into a pen while Winona ran them down. That girl has never missed a step when it came to potential profit. Seeing my girl work made me happier for sure but looking at Winona definitely was an added bonus. She stood at about five foot ten with dirty blonde hair and a well taned tone. Her eyes were green like Applejacks and she even had the freckles! It didn’t take long for my eyes to wander to other places though. She had strong legs and a firm ass from all the field work she does and was at least a 34DD cup. Oh God, she’s bending over! I couldn’t stop staring at her.

“Eyeing Winona huh Hunter. Ya got good taste. Just remember ta tell that granddaughter of mine that yer interested before ya do anything, okay.” I nodded not once looking away from the spectacle in front of me and took a good look at Smith, she was just as beautiful as her granddaughter. She must of noticed my staring because she was putting on a small show for me. Applejack and Winona were playing around in the yard now that the work was done and damn if they cared anyone was watching them. I could see Applejack’s goodies now and my mind went crazy. I fought it by remembering winter was coming and I needed to add insulation to every building in the farm that acted as housing. I might as well fit the new wagon for winter while I’m at it. I’ll need Good Seed’s help though. Carpentry I can do to a point but I need his expertise as an architect to know where to put what and how much for maximum efficiency. As far as the material went, I’d be using straw. We have a shitton of it and it would work as insulation and was absolutely free of cost for us. I couldn’t help but laugh at his reaction to hearing me talk.

Three Months Ago

It was June tenth that I noticed Goody staring at me as if he were studying me. I just drank my milk and tried not to pay it any mind. However that hay yellow earth pony didn’t make that easy. He was tailing me (rather clumsily) everywhere I went short of the shitter, my barn, and his room. Something seemed off the last time I was with Delicious so I looked only to find a goddess damned hidden camera! Red swore it wasn’t hers and the others wouldn’t violate anyone’s space like that so that left one person, Good Seed. He can’t have it here due to paranoia, the Apples are the most trustworthy ponies in town. At first I thought he liked watching videos of him and his wife fucking but when plugged it into a computer all I saw where videos of me and Delicious. The thought of him being into seeing his wife ravaged was prominent in my mind. That thought was destroyed when I found his notes. He really was studying me. The videos only had me grunting humming and other various noises but I never spoke in them. I get that I’m “clever” but what does this fool want from me. He’s fucking obsessed. Imma need to have a word with Delicious when I get a chance, this needs to stop.

Delicious had a few choice words to say about the camera being anywhere near where the magic happens. “You were Fucking recording me you half a horse! I cannot believe you would do something so invasive. I don’t even want to look at you right now, Get out of my sight!” Ouch, she is not happy. Looks like he’s gonna be sleeping on the couch for a few days. Needless to say, I kept some of the footage and would most likely be enhancing the video quality on my laptop in the barn. Delicious is delicious afterall.

A few days later and Goody was still on the damn couch. No one talked to him, even his daughter. I couldn't help but take pity on the man. There he was at the table miserably staring at a glass of scotch. If I don’t do something about this he could turn into an alcoholic. Goody turned his head to me when he noticed he wasn't alone. “It would seem I got what I deserved, I saw the disgust in Red’s eyes. I should’ve just asked her upfront what was going on but instead, I had to be all sneaky. I can’t believe my marriage is going to end because of this. It’s all your fucking fault! Don’t give me that blank stare shit, I know you can understand what I’m saying at the least.”

He had me there and the bad part is I damn well knew he did. “For the record, your marriage is not over. Red is just waiting for you to get your head out of your ass and be the man she married. That’s right, I can talk. You sir are going to go ask your wife on a date and romance her all over again. Make her feel like a filly again. And yes, I am sleeping with your wife and that most likely won’t change.” Goody gave no response at all but I could tell he was listening to what I was saying. He and I have similar expressions or so I’ve been told by Delicious. A part of me was wondering why I was helping him. I could have her all to myself! That thought was killed the second it popped up. Delicious is my best friend (with extremely pleasurable benefits!) fixing her husband will not compromise our relationship in the slightest.

“You’re right Hunter, I’m an ass and I need to earn back her love. I’ll do what needs to be done to rekindle this flame and earn my family’s respect back!” I spent most of that week helping Goody come up with his baby I was wrong speech and insisted that he he end it with a proposal to renew their vows once he was in her better graces. All Good seed needed was to stop being such a paranoid fool and open his heart more often. Goody later used his skillset to help me build my own bar that attached to the house.

Present Time

I didn't have to look far for Goody. In fact, he was two steps ahead of me and actually made designs and calculations. Magic insulation only kept you so warm. Goody and I got to work gathering the appropriate amount of insulation for the human barn. While we mostly have ponies, humans also make good farm hands. Is it weird that I’m acting as if I’m not a human myself? It's nice that I don't have to hide myself anymore, at the house at least.

A few hours into working on the barn and we were almost done! The humans that dwell there understood we were doing something important and for the most part stayed out of our way. I’m not sure if it was intuition or respect for me, but either way we got the barn nice and insulated in under a day! Things that can be achieved in Equestria with a good song are just incredible. “What’s next on the agenda, Hunter?” That was a good question. We finished our task rather quickly with the help of some farm hands and hoofs Insulating the actual house would be more problematic Since we’d have to tear down the drywall to add the insulation.

“Let’s call it a day brother, we made good time with the barn but I don’t think the house will be as easy. I reckon it’ll take at least a few days considering the size of the place.” Goody shook his head and hmmd. With that we went about our days as usual. I noticed Winona through my peripheral vision and plastered my sight on her. She was enjoying lemonade while lounging on a pool chair in the nude. If I didn’t know better I’d say she was…. Yup, she’s definitely tanning. I moved to her slowly not wanting to startle her. When I was near I made myself known in the least alarming manner i could. I hummed a song. Winona turned her head to see who was approaching her. She flipped and spread her legs when she noticed it was me while….smiling? I must be imagining things. Winona spread her lower lips while licking her upper ones, that was an unmistakable invitation to fuck her senseless and I was gonna take it!

My pants where off before I made it to her. I went to work on her body as soon as I could. One hand was groping one of her breasts while the other was massaging her leg and I was kissing her neck, slowly making my way down. By the time I made it to her treasure trove, a thought came up. ‘Just remember ta tell that granddaughter of mine yer interested before ya do anything.’ Damn it, I can’t do this. With a sigh, I regretfully got up and began to leave. I wasn’t too surprised when Winona grabbed my arm in anger…”The hell you doin’? Don’t go blue beaning me, get the hell back here and finish what ya fuckin’ started partner!” Either that’s my conscience or she can talk. I dug deep inside and realised that I killed most of that a long time ago so she must be talking.

“You can talk, Winona? Holy shit! I figured I’d find a terrestrial human eventually but I didn’t think one would be right under ma fuckin’ nose!” I must really be in a southern mood today. Needless to say the quilt was gone and my boner was back. Who knows when I’ll find another human like me if I ever do. I ain't about ta let this chance slip.

I had so many questions to ask her but she put a finger to my mouth before I could say anything else. “We can play twenty one questions later, Hunter. Right now yer gonna fuck ma brains out. Ya feel me?” Oh I feel her and soon enough she’ll be feeling me! That was exactly what she wanted too since she tackled me and hopped on top of me before I could change my mind. Winona licked her lips and started sucking my dick like there was no tomorrow. It was only proper for me to follow suit and get to work on her.

Winona A few hours later

Got damn, that was fun! Hunter really knows how ta turn a girl out. His reaction to me talkin was real cute though. I don’t think I can sit back and let Applejack have him to herself anymore. I was aware of him since he got here but I wanted to play with him a little before I pounced but my urges got the better of me. What am I some school filly? I’ve been wantin ta jump his his bones for the better part of a year now! I'm just mad that I had ta resort to those tactics to break his willpower and make him fuck me. Well, looks like it's time ta put a damper on things. “I know we’re gonna have ta tell Applejack about this but do we need ta do it right away? I’ve been wantin ta tell ya about me for a long time, I just couldn’t work up the gumption ta do it. And for the record, I was actually tanning earlier.” I saw the look on his face I thought it was guilt for a second but I realized that he had nothing to feel guilty about, I did. After all I came on damn strong knowing full well what Hunter was to Applejack.

“Don’t feel guilty Winona. You should feel no guilt at all for what you did. You were lonely and saw what could be your only chance with one of your own kind. Speaking of which, what generation are you? How long have you been in Equestria?” I went on ta tell Hunter that I had been here my whole life and was actually the second generation. My mother had fallen into Equestria somehow and she was pregnant with me at the time Papa Apple found her and took her in. AJ and I were thick as thieves in no time flat. Hell, she’s only three years older than I am! They noticed we didn’t age at the same rate humans here seemed to. They just didn’t care. Mama blended in as best she could and I did as well but I may as well tell her the cat’s outta bag.

“Wait. Your mother’s still alive and they haven’t questioned it? Well then again they did just roll with it for the most part when I came to them. Y’all coulda just told em, the Apples are good people.” He was right about that one. And there wasn’t a damn thing I could say about it. “I would very much like to meet your mother, Winona.” He said while clasping my hands in his. I musta been blushin up a storm, cause he just grinned. Hunter let go but I grabbed his hand and lead him to momma, smiling with my eyes the whole way there.

Momma was shorter than me. She was a small thing standing at about 4’9”, she say says my height came from my daddy and short people ran in her family. We had the same hair color and similar looks that ended at the eyes, hers were pale blue and her skin was pale. Momma didn't really look her age

Hunter bowed and kissed momma’s hand. He also reintroduced himself. Momma was pleased by his gentlemanly actions and was enjoying meaningful conversation with Hunter. “So let me get this straight. Your family were doomsday preppers and you were the medic and technician as well as being in charge of maintaining clothing.” Hunter noded Momma was just happy she had someone to speak the maiden tongue with. I can speak it myself but I butcher it according to her. If I didn’t know better, I’d say she wanted him for….and thought killed. That was a stupid idea momma has a thing for Mac and has expressed wanting grandchildren from me before she was forty five. I got about eleven years ta go but still I wouldn’t mind if it was Hunter. “It’s nice ta have someone so well rounded but what field do you excel in? Besides hunting and tracking, I mean.” I was kinda curious at that one myself.

“Medicine I always had a thing for science. Papa was a mechanic and Lily was a soldier so I decided to learn what I could to balance the scales so to speak. Surviving eight years before I came to the farm helped me improve my skills. I would like to change the subject, if you don’t mind.” He spoke in plain old english that time and momma and me understood why. His time alone with his loved one and remembering her death must still bring him pain.

Momma and I took over the conversation and talked about how we lived on the farm and other daily matters. Hunt just sat there and listened. I wasn’t looking forward to what was gonna happen. Applejack I could handle, what I’m scared of is the newly empowered Scootaloo who is also the Matriarch of the herd. Imagining all the horrible things she could do to me were driving me insane. That is until I realized that it’s Scootaloo, the most she’d do is beat my ass. “I’m ready to face the music if you are, Hunter.” He nodded. “Let’s git r done.” I musta said that nervously cause Hunter’s hand was on my shoulder the whole damn walk to the house.

Scootaloo In the Grotto

“Pay up!” I shouted while laughing my flank off. AJ groaned and emptied bag full of her private stock of cider and Hunter’s Apple whiskey. Hunter raised a brow at me. “Don’t judge us, you’re the one who had a romp with Winona of all possible humans.” I turned my attention to Winona. “So you’re like Hunter, huh. I’m gonna assume your mother’s the same. Iris has always been nice, I’ll have to talk to her now that I know I can. I’ve had a long day, who’s up for turning up?” Hands and a set of hooves were up. Luckily Etheria gave hunter a similar setup to his bar at the farm. I liked this one better though.Must be in my nature.

Draught Keg was behind the counter today she greeted hunter with a bit more enthusiasm than the three of us would have liked. “Hey guys. You look like you’ve had a long day, milady. Your drinks are on the house.” Hunter is not going to like that. He usually insists on paying. He didn’t make a single motion against Draught’s statement. “Mojito for Hunter, old fashioned for Lady Scootaloo, and a sex on the beach for Lady Applejack. What will Winona be having?”

“Cum fuck me quickly.” Winona didn’t even flinch as she made the order while staring into Hunter’s eyes. Hunter himself did a spit take. “The drink, fool. However I wouldn’t mind you.” She was going to be serious competition for any human that wanted his time, I could tell. Poor Angel Bunny never stood a chance! I mean she’s just a little girl and is built like one to boot! If I was a betting mare and I am, my chips would be on Winona for the win. The two were on the dance floor enjoying a dance while AJ and I were having a few shots.

“They’re having fun. I’d step in but EDM ain’t really my thing. You gonna cut in, Loo?” I gave AJ a negative and stated that I was fine watching those two beautiful humans shake their tails on the dance floor. I was just too damn sore for dancing. By Etheria, I might not even be up for a “dance” with AJ and Hunter tonight! Knowing AJ as well as I do however. I know full well she’d make it happen if she wanted us bad enough. Luckily enough my herd mate took the cue and locked my tail with hers.It was Winona’s time to get down. The pair joined us at the bar and began smiling and laughing freely. After all, the grotto was one of the few places where they were safe to be themselves and not put up the “clever human” act. I have to save that I enjoy seeing Hunter have someone like Winona he can talk to. Hell, who knows what those two could get into in the coming future. But I hope that for Winona’s sake it ends with a child. I can tell by looking at her that she wants one. Shit, AJ and I have had that look on our faces a few times and we know it’s impossible for us to have his spawn! They left the bar probably booked it for either the barn or his castle. You get yours, Winona. You get yours.

AJ whipped tears from my eyes. “I know sugar cube, I know. The best we can do is hope he beats that foolhardy rule of Lily’s out of his head so Winona can have what she truly wants.”

“It just really gets to me sometime, you know. The fact that we can’t have his young. But winona can and hell. So can Angel when in a year or two.” AJ raised a brow at me on that one. “Oh, he didn’t tell you did he? Angel is just like him. She fell in alone near his castle Hunter took her to Fluttershy and you know the most of it. She can’t talk though, she’s deaf. She and Hunter use something called sign language to communicate.” She got the point that it was a human equivalent to hoof language and didn’t ask about that. She also knew that Hunter had absolutely no childhood and had gained some childish fun from Angel. He’d always had a goofy smile on after he came home. AJ also told me that he’d sometimes beat one out or pound a few off in her most likely while thinking of someone else. It didn’t look like there was any pain in her mind from finding out who those rough nights really belonged to.

“I wonder if Angel knows that she’s got our Hunter bewitched? Seriously I don’t mind the poundings he gives me sometimes. But he cries a little after and silently apologizes to me. Now I know why. Nother’ round Draught” AJ put a few bits on the counter. She wasn’t drinking from anger or sadness either, “To Winona and Angel. May they be blessed with a bundle of joy from Hunter.” This time it was my turn to wipe tears away.

“Mierda. Why couldn’t he have been born a pony?” I said in jest. AJ gave me a stern look then broke out laughing. “Hunter ain’t the only one that can have fun tonight amore’. Shall we go to my home?” I flung my wing over her shoulder and we walked out. Keeping this from Bloom was going to be a pain and a half but it was doable. “You ready, mi dulce de manzana?” That got a smile out of her. She gave me a hug and a kiss and I flew off with AppleJack in towe.

Author's Note

Sorry that took so long for the follow up chapter. The next time you see Hunter he may be Illusive Hunter again
