Shadows that never stopby greenfire2908ChaptersChapter 1chapter 2Chapter 3 (can have bad spelling)chapter 4 (not edited)Chapter 1The mane 6 were having a relaxing day at the park. Each of them found their own way to have fun. Pinkie and Dash were toying with Twilight as she attempted to create a textbook sandwich. Rarity spent her time doing blueprints for some designer top. Fluttershy found the park to have a plethora of critters and she attempted to catch baby rabbits. Everyone was having fun; except Applejack. She just sat there looking at the sky, as the warm sun rose over them. It was peaceful. Normally, the blonde mare would find no worry in the tranquility. But she knew all too well that if things were perfect, it was too good to be true. Applejack knew that at any time, something awful could happen. She feared not for her safety, but for her friends'. But...just what was so wrong here? They were having fun. Just at a park, enjoying themselves. That's just it. Any enemy of AJ's long list would jump at the chance to break that fun down into tiny little bits. What hurt the most was, as long as she was around, they were in danger. ''Applejack? Something wrong?'' Twilight asked as she walked over to her trustworthy friend. Applejack didn't hear her. She just watched her friends. Pinkie, wearing a blue skirt and a yellow T, tackled her rainbow-maned friend. The tackle caused Dash's green top to nearly come too loose. Fluttershy sat cross-legged with a bunny in her lap, petting it and stroking its soft golden fur. She didn't seem to mind its fur might have been ruining her long white dress. Rarity did notice this and sighed. Clearly, if an animal were to sit in her lap, it probably wouldn't get the same love. More like a swat, followed by a, "Ewww!!" "Applejack?" Twilight beckoned worriedly. It took a moment for the blond mare to realize this purple figure in blue jeans talking to her was a friend. She was never this spaced out...what was going on? Applejack sat up and straightened her brown Stetson. Such an old thing, it is. It didn't always have those red holes in it. Used to be all clean and pristine. Ever since...recent incidents, it's seen a lot more action. Her brown jacket and dusty blue jeans didn't fair much better. "Applejack...I can tell there's something bothering you. Please tell me?" Twilight put a hand on her worried shoulder. Applejack sighed. "Twi, there's nothing wrong. I just feel a little..." She didn't know why she was scared. Ever since she became who she was today, nowhere felt safe. "...I'ma liar, I'm so sorry..." She squeaked out, curling up with her knees to her chin. "What are you talking about...?" Twilight asked. "You never lie, what's..." Twilight paused. She bent down, and sat next to her friend. "What's wrong?" Applejack buried her face further into her knees as Twilight attempted to get a glimpse. "Y-...You're all in danger, and it's all my fault! Every moment I'm with you, something can happen. and I won't be able to help you." She then began to walk away, but before her journey even started, it was ended by a firm grip. "AJ- what are you talking about? How could we be in danger?" Despite Applejack's childish wailing, Twilight managed to drag the tough Southern girl to the ground. "I ju-" She yanked her hand from Twilight's. "I don't want to hurt you." "Wha-" And before Twilight's eyes, Applejack took off. Not even an onslaught of Royal Decrees could stop her now. "Applejack..." Twilight whispered as her friend left the park. "Hey- where's AJ going? I wanna race!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Twilight rose from the ground, scratching the back of her head. Of all her friends to hear of this news, it just had to be Rainbow Dash. "I...think something's going on. She was going on about danger a-" "WHAT!?" Dash's wings immediately sprung from their confinements. Without a moments notice or any more Twilight babbling, the rainbow wonder was gone. Twilight sighed. "Man...I hope Applejack doesn't kill me for telling." Rarity, not one to focus on the darkest moments at hand, smiled as she gazed at Rainbow's last known location. "Oh dear, I hope Rainbow will be brave. That poor ruffian is annoyed enough by the teasing." "Oh! Maybe they'll kiss!" Pinkie chimed with her index to the air. Fluttershy smiled meekly. "Oh, I hope they figure things out..." Twilight was more worried about what Applejack said than what she did. "I hope so too..." Applejack was alone. Her hands were dug in her pockets so far, she might find gold. She stared at the moving ground as she walked aimlessly. What am I doing...? What if they found out? Knowing...they'd only get in more trouble. They might even d- She shook her head like a bad case of fleas just invaded. Then something grabbed her waist. Nearly jumping out of her fur, she turned around with a fist prepped for a good clocking. She didn't get a chance as she was sent to the ground with a peculiar rainbow maned female on her. "Why did you leave?" As she pinned her rival, Rainbow stroked the girl's cheek. "Because I wanted to be alone!?" Applejack snapped. Using her upper body strength, she pushed the cyan girl off and gave a stare that would freeze lakes. "aww, come on babe. I just wanna know what's going on, cause like...you've been working against me a lot. Something is up, AJ, I know you." Rainbow grabbed her friend's waist tight, folding her fingers over her shapely hips. "Please..." Applejack began as she put her hands on Rainbow's. "I-I...Don't call me that. I just want to clear my head." She spoke absentmindedly because, while she was in a trance earlier, she walked right up to the Everfree forest. Immediately, without hesitation, Applejack broke into a sprint. "Oh no you don't! Not this time..." Rainbow Dash said as she began following her friend from overhead. "One day, you will be mine." Applejack ran towards a howl. It was a clear one- not an illusive changling or that of a copy cat. She knew better than that now. Ever since her parents suffered from a Timberwolf attack, she'd never forget the sound they made as they began a hunt. She knew by the smell. It was retched, like...the cow house. Or worse, Rainbow's laundry. She ran into a clearing, finding the wolf. At least with was a wolf, and not a Timberpony. "This'll be nothing," Applejack boasted as she cracked her knuckles. Then she went to work. An hour into the fight, it eventually became a game. Applejack rode the wolf like a bull. She sighed, seeing that even it was getting tired. It must have been a young pup. She stomped into the back plate- a weak point- and it broke instantly. The Timberwolf shattered into splinters and dust. Among the crowded area of sharp wood, Applejack saw a green heart. Without those, a Timberwolf could not properly operate. Without, they wouldn't be harming anyone, so long as they watch for splinters. Applejack held the heart in her hand, staring at its gorgeous, horrific magic. "I will kill you all, one day." Not too far from Applejack sat her not-so-secret admirer, Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash had a wicked smile upon her face. Did Applejack, the love of my life, just kill a Timerwolf? She is now a 10. Rainbow took a quick glance before she stepped from her camouflaged bush. And immediately tripped over a rock. Her stomach nearly made an indentation into the ground. "Ooohff!"She huffed, sucking in dry air. "Ow. That sucked." She muttered as she began to rise. Then she stopped. "H-hi babe." Author's Note Thx to: Roybgp for edit... Good job chapter 2Rainbow felt that not only was Applejack staring down at her, but the sky as well. "Rainbow! What in Tartarus are you doing here?" Had she seen the fight...? Applejack's mind was running wild at this point, but she kept her composure. Rainbow's lips curved into a nervous smile. "nothing," She said as she rose to her feet. She moved in, her head lowered and eyes locked into her long-awaited lover. Applejack knew that walk. Her hips swaying, her eyes glaring and that unspeakably adorable smirk on her face- Rainbow was always cute when trying to get some. When they came face to face, nose to nose, and lips t- "Rainbow Dash!!" A voice erupted from beyond the wilderness. Applejack paused, looking in all directions briefly. While her friend was distracted, she fled into the shadows. Rainbow's eyes went from a seductive trance into a hellfire of burning, agonizing rage. "Are you kidding me? seriously!?" She cried out before being pummeled to the ground by an unknown force. It was fast, unpredictable, pudgy and pink. Only one thing could make up such a dangerous concoction: Pinkie Pie. "Oh Rainbow! I thought you got lost!!" The excited pink girl yelled. "You picked....the worst timing, possible. I almost had it. Almost had it, Pinkie!" Rainbow repeated, then continued to groan in frustration. She just got cock-blocked. "Oh....sorry." Pinkie grumbled as she crawled off her friend. "Ugh..." Rainbow was more annoyed that this was the second time she fell to the ground. "It's alright." "Oh, figured Pinkie's senses would find you. So...what happened?" Twilight asked as she entered the clearing. "Man...I don't even know." Rainbow said as she put her face in her palms. Meanwhile, not too far away, Applejack entered her home. Her real home. Though, as a normal anthropomorphic pony, one wouldn't consider it to be suitable for living, but that's an illusion through a powerful enchantment. Using her silver key, she opened the door and entered her home. Inside was a plethora of books, weapons and, oddly enough, cages. Cages with tiny, rabid, dumb creatures. Some might have even passed for being cute, if not for their sharp teeth and insatiable appetite to eat raw flesh. What was truly strange was that wasn't even the strangest section of the home. In the middle of the room sat a wooden table. On it lay nine green hearts, each perfectly identical to the one she pulled from her jacket. She placed the heart among them before she retrieved a book from her collection. The book was made of thick leather, making the cover look more intimidating than what the contents reveal. Applejack stared at the title in shame. "Applejack Apple's Journey- The Monster Hunter" She said in a low husk. She opened the book to a random page and read. -Wendingo A spirit that feeds on hate. When feeding, it freezes its prey making it equally as cold. Weakness: Someone touching it, friendship, or a warm heart. *Cannot be killed. Danger- 6/10 Applejack smirked. Looking over to a nearby cage, she saw one of the tiny little creatures. After all these years and all this documentation of magic, supernatural creatures and the unknown, she filled up several pages. Applejack turned the page. -Ursa Minor/Major Difficult to deal with. Sleep everyday and hunt in the night or dance on the sky. *Cannot be killed Danger- 8/10 Applejack turned the page. -Manticore Lion head, scorpion tail, dragon wings. Can be tamed. Look out for the poisoned tail. *Can be killed Danger- 2/10 - 9/10 When Applejack turned the page, she immediately regretted it. Despite her resentment, she read. -Genuvial Godlike creature. Resembles a deer with a shadow body and white glowing eyes. It tends to walk on two legs with claws that are deadly to the touch. Feeds on fear and nightmares. *Cannot be killed Danger- 10/10 Applejack shivered as she remembered the creature's eyes. Seeing this as the best time to sleep, the blonde maned girl set the book down and wandered to her cozy bed. "Hey! Check this out!" Rainbow called to her friends. There was a light that traveled to a door slightly ajar. Rainbow Dash pushed the door open slightly, and upon seeing no apparent life, pushed it open fully. "Looks like no one lives here." "That's not entirely true," Applejack said as she leaned against a wall, just outside of the doorways view. Rarity was the first to speak among the gasps. "Applejack, darling, you live here?" She asked, staring at the many hazardous dust particles that might stain her coat. "Don't touch that," Applejack snapped at Twilight nearly picking up the journal. Of course the bookworm would immediately take long, long, arduous stares at the collection of reading material. "What is this...? I don't even have some of these..." She asked dumb-founded. Regardless, she read the title, "Applejack Apple's Journy- The Monster Hunter." Right then, Applejack felt more eyes on her than ever. She stayed quiet. "What the hell! You have a secret life!?" Rainbow stormed over to Applejack's face, getting nice and close, then whispered; "That is freakin' hot." Then, finally siezing the moment, Rainbow pushed her face into her friend's and kissed. Immediately Applejack pushed her friend away, elapsing a tender, wet *Smooch* from their lips. Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie all gasped. Pinkie gasped harder though, proving she was the most excited. Until they saw Applejack wiping away tears. "Wh-...what's wrong AJ? You...know you liked it." The rainbow wonder said nervously. "What have you done...?" Applejack mumbled, staring at the ground. Rainbow's face turned to a deep, deep dark, sorrowful pit of abysmal depression. "Sorry..." Applejack knew better than to continue babbling. She pushed each of her friends one by one into her bedroom, cramming them all inside just barely. She turned to face a a shadow. She stared at it, her eyes fearless. It was a dead creature, in a sense. It had the silhouette of a normal anthropomorphic pony, but was merely that- a faded, old, blacked out being. And it stared at Applejack sporting daggers. "What do you want Carmalo?" Applejack asked. "Oh, nothing, dear. I was passing by..." His voice was like a slithering black cape that glided inches above the ground, casting an infinite void of darkness upon the room, before invading nearby ears. "Noticed you have another heart. Good, good." Applejack knew his game. He found her attractive- something that is happening a lot as of late- and wanted to mate with her. If that were to happen, however, Applejack would be unable to defeat this all encompassing dark specter. She knew if she ever had a chance to kill him, it would have to be while he was in his normal form. "What are you doing here?" She might have been a little scared. That only fueled her fear because Carmalo fed off it, and would not hesitate a moment to use it. This time, Applejack was in danger. Chapter 3 (can have bad spelling)Applejack knew what Carmalo wanted, it sceard her. Carmalo walked around in the room, his shadow body going back and forth in front of her. ''Carmalo, plis can you leave. I have Things do do!'' Applejack said angry, pointing at the door. ''oh... you are always busy, why? I want to get to know my little girl-'' ''I not Your fucking girl!'' She raged at him, something that he loved. ''get the fuck out of here! NOW!'' slowly getting closer to her, he used his shadowie hand and stroke her cheek. he slowly moved it Down her body. moving it Down to her waist. he pulled her closer. he put his hand on her butt greedy. ''you know you want it, and I am the only that can give it to you.'' With that said, he crepet out of the hut. letting out a deep breath, she did't know she was holding. she got to the bedroom door and unlocked it. the five Girls fell over each other and growning. ''all of you need to leave NOW'' Applejack was not happy that they had found out. ''but AJ, I-I love you.'' she quickly said kissing her again. but Applejack quickly pushed away as their lips meet. ''Im sorry Rainbow. I love you too, but I cant, I will put you in danger.'' she alost strated to cry. she could feet the tears flooding her eyes. ''I cant let enything happend to you, I love you to much.'' Rainbow was starting to cry too. they loved each other, but what did she mean by danger? ''but... what do you mean by danger?'' she dared to ask. ''TimberPony, VampirePony, Werewolf, ShadowPony and more... my job is to protect Equestria. I Guess I can tell you, but dont tell enypony else, there should be as less as possible to know about this.'' all of them nodded, Applejack took a longer glare at Rarity. she knew that she was into gossip at the spa. ''well... it started when I got my cutie mark, for appels are not only me. my real cutie mark is... this.'' she said picking up the book and shoving them. it was her normal appels With a knife in the middle. ''I lied about how I got my cutie mark to Apple Bloom. I cant put her in danger, I will tell one day. but not enytime soon. Mac and Granny know, well they was there soo.'' a little pause was made as Applejack took some emty Cages out for them to sit on. ''this might take a wile, sitt Down.'' (backstory. Applejack is a kid here) Applejack stood at the egde of the elderfree forest, she could heare a timberwolf howl in the dark night. she had this feeling that something in there belonged to her. but what? ''Applejack!?'' the familier sound broke her out of her transe. turning around she saw big Mac runnigng and shouting at her. ''AJ, where... have... you been, everyone has been worry sick.'' he said slowly getting his breath back. ''I heard something Call my name... it came from the fores-'' she was cut off by a voice calling her name again. ''did you ear that?'' she asked looking over her sholder and into the dark forest. ''nope, we need to get home. Granny is gonna me happy to see you.'' ''Am I in trouble?'' Applejack asked looking up at her older sibling. Smiling he sayes ''nope, I will make sure of that. you heard something you say?'' then they took off home. Mac sat Applejack on his back. ''thats when I started to hear and feel them. it was creepy. thee feeling that someone is watching you all the time, the feeling that their is someone there or the ice Cold feeling that Wake you up at night.'' Applejack took a pause to see if eny of them had a question. none of them did. ''I did't know that the monsters or supernatual was after me. I was in danger the hole time. but they could't do enything before I got my cutie mark, but I did't get before I found out about a Family seacret.'' Applejack was walking to School when she heard someone calling her name. ''Hallo? is enyone there?'' she looked around. there was no one there. gettng back to the task, e had to get to School before she wsa to late. at School Applejack had this need, she wanted to og in the forest. before the last class Applejack could't hold it enymore. she walked into the forest without thinking. the teacher had notice that Applejack did't how in last class. he went outside to look for her, but she just saw Applejac walk into the forest. she screamed after her, ''Applejack Apple come back here NOW!'' but Applejack did't heare her. she cept walking. the teacher went inside and told every student that they could walk home, she had to get Applejack before something happend to her. she took off ter were she sa Applejack had gone. 'why did't I get her Family?' she tought. it might have been to late when ty got to her. she stepped into a clearing were she spoted a tiny little Orange girl. ''Applejack Im so glad Your safe, come lets get back before smething happend.'' she got closer to her as she saw Applejack staring into a river, but in the water. it wasn't her refletion. it was a black creature, With big horns and white eyes. the teacher tryed to pull Applejack away from the river. she got her away from the river. bu Applejack passed out when she lost sight of the creature. The teacher got her home and told Family wat she saw. Granny was the only one that did't looked too suprised. ''Yeah,she told me once she had heard one calling name.'' Mac said as he held a sleeping Applejak on his lap. ''it only mean, getting closer.'' Grany looked at the techer. ''would you keep Applejack inside the School, and not let her be alone?'' the teacher only nodded. then ranny turned Mac. ''could you walk her to School, and home?'' Mac nodded to. ''Good, Appeljack's life is in danger.'' ''I woke up a day after. but I wasen't allowed to at School.'' Applejack looked at th others. ''if Your wondering. that creature I saw in the river was a Genuvial. its a god thing. but enyway.'' Applejack sat inside, the other kids were outside playing. ''miss Letter (teacher) why cant I be outside?'' the teacher froze when Applejack asked. ''well, sweetie yur Family told me to keep yo inside for a while. I dont know how long but, Im sorry. I wish I could let Yu outside.'' Applejack layed her headon the desk. she *sigh* After School, Applejack went outside. she saw her Brother waveing at her and smiling. she started to walk toward him but was stoped, when she heard the voice again. ''Applejack'' it whisperd. she began to panic and ran right into her Brothers leg. ''you okey AJ?'' he asked looking at how frighten she was. ''No! its after me, I heard it.'' she cried into his leg. quickly Mac took his sister in his armes and ran home. of she had heard it again, it might mean something. they come home, mac took Applejack into the living room and sat her Down on the couch. ''Granny?!'' mac yeld. Granny smith came into the room, Apple Bloom in her armes. ''for goodnes sake Mac. you woke up...'' Granny trailed off as she saw Applejack crying on the couch. ''oh dear, what happend?'' she asked sitting next to Applejack. ''she heard it again.'' Mac said sitting Down on the other side of AJ. ''I remember the weeks after. I wasn't allowed to be at School, I could't be outside. I was just in my room. alone. but it was that one day, when I got a vistit from an old friend. or shall I say enime.'' Applejack was standing infront of her bedroom Mirror, her refletion told her Things. 'you are going insane, get out of here before you lose it.' the voice was so angry, it sceard her. but it was right. she was going mad. Applejack walked out of her room,it was almost midnight. she went downstairs, and headdet toward the door. trying to be as quiet as possible she got to the door. slowly opening it she tok her head outside. the feeling of Cold fresh air was amiazing. wanting more she took a leg outside. her hoof touched the Cold soft dirt. it was something she had't been feeling in weeks, she had missed it. ''Applejack...'' a voice in the dark. Applejack spun around loking everywere. ''Applejack...'' it whisperd again. t time it was dragging her. she felt herself beeing dragged to the forest. she began to panic. ''Granny!'' she screamed as a shadow surrounded her. as it coverd her. Granny smith come running Down the stairs. she saw her just before she vanished. NOOO!!'' she screamed. Mac, Apple Bloom and Granny smith sat in the dinning room, waiting at the guard. a white unicorn came into the room. the hole Sweet Apple acers was bing searched. ''well, from what you are telling. a shadow took her? are you sure?'' the guard Asked sitting downon a Chair. ''is the sky blue?'' granny asked. ''yes'' he answerd confused. ''well there you have my answer. I saw it With my own eyes.'' Granny as getting angry. se could feel rage inside her. ''I promised to their parentthat I would rotect them, but right now I need help.'' Mac was just sitting there ookingat ageing Granny, Apple Bloom was sleeping i his lap. right there he promised. 'when Applejack get home, will protect my Family with my life. as the smoke vanished, Applejack found herself at the river. ''oh no... who are you, what do you want?'' she cried out, the fear of that river was a nightmare she never will Wake up from. she slowly get over to the river and look Down in it. the monster With those soulless eyes, and smoky body. was looking right at her. ''who are you?'' she asked looking at it. ''I am Genuvial, for what I want: I do not want to harm you, but secure you.'' its voice echoed out of nothing, it was deep and dark. but it sounded like someone was talking almost at the same time. ''secure me? what do you mean?'' just as closed her mouth, more shadow came up to her. it hold her Down by her legs. she began to cry. she was sceard. ''leave me be!'' she begged. ''what have I even done to you?'' her voice was full of fear. the Genuvial liked it. ''its not what you have done, but what you will do.'' Applejack was helpless, would she die now? she was just 10, as she saw it she was to Young to die, she wasn't even done With School. ''plis, I will do enything, just plis let me live.'' she begged, she cried. but she was dead sceard. the shadow that was holding her let her loose. she could move. ''I can't kill you, not yet. take this as a warning,when you become 16 you journy start.'' just as it said that. the shadow formed its body. moving closer it placed one of the claws under her head, lifting it. ''but be aware, one day you will face me. and then only on will survive.'' it removed its claw from her head. when it was some meaters away. Applejack took a rock. she threw it at the monster. when it hit, it fell to the ground. ''you will pay for that dear.'' then it vanished. after the creature was gone. something felt strange. she looked at her flank. her cutie mark. Three Appels With a knife in the middle. ''after that day, I have always followed my cutie mark. but if Your wondering. no, I was not trouble when I got home. the gueards talked to me, asked me Things. and reported it to Celestia. I dont know what she could have done but still.'' As Applejack finished the story all the Girls looked at her in shock. why did AJ have a so seacret life? ''AJ, why have you been hideing it?'' Twilight asked. ''I had plans on telling you, but I got sceard, and well... I did't want it to hurt are friendship. but now that you know. I am going to be more carefull, around.'' Applejack said getting off the Chair and walking over to the book self. ''Twi, if you ever want to know about these varmits, I can borrow you a book, and Fluttershy. I have a feeling that you want to ask me about the Cages and some of the animals in them. Fluttershy only nodded, Applejack was right she wanted to know why she had them like this. ''well, many of thise Creatures are evil, bad or Deadly. I cant let them walk around in Equestria freely, when they feed on or kind's flesh.'' just as she said that she threw Twilight a book. the title of the book was 'supernatual, danger or harmless'. ''I say you start With that one, and plis dont freak out and try to help me away from it.'' Without knowing Rainbow had creeped up behind AJ. she was just behind her. ready to attack her lovely pray. when ''dont even think about it Dash. I know You are behind me'' Rainbow did't move. she hoped that if no one answerd she would lower her guard. but giving up. she just jumped at her. she burrid her face in her mane, sniffing in the good smell of.... Apples. Rainbow moved up placeing her head on AJ's head. getting an idea she gently bite Down on AJ's ear. With suprise, she did't see that comeing. she moan loud. she began to breath heavly, half closing her eyes. ''heh... looks like I found a weak spot.'' Rainbow say With her theeth still holding her ears. Applejack can't stop moaning. it felt so good. ''R-Rain...bow... plis... sto--ahh...!'' she could bearly speak normal. ''I think we will leave now.'' Twilight say as she look at Rainbow giving her 'plis leave, I want her now' eyes. ''ohhh... why the good stuff is happening'' Pinkie said, she had always wanted to see Rainbow makeing moves on AJ. ''no, pinkie. I think its time we leave enyways. th clock is-'' she look around the room, no clock. ''AJ, how much is the clock?'' AJ take something out of her pockit. she looks at. ''its 7 pmmm...'' a louder moan cut her off. ''thanks... lets give them some privecy.'' Twilight had to use Magic to get Pinkie out of the hut. even when they had left. pinkie asked if she could watch. but No. Once the door locked, Rainbow moved. she did't stop biteing AJ's ear, but she moved her hands Down around her body. Rainbow hug her tight. her arms surrounded AJ's waist. feeling that AJ had a lot of stuff in her jacked. tries to get it off, giving up to try without hands. she quickly take it off her. is she useing that thing all time, its freaking heavy she think and gets back to work. Author's Note My editor is working on the story, but its been a long time single I send it. I will Give the New part when I Get it back! Pinkie promise ;-) and I am looking for one more editor, if you are interssted, comment. and I will send you a piece and, see if I like it. chapter 4 (not edited)the night had just passed. Applejack and Rainbow was both panting, unlike Rainbow who was recovering from the Hard work she just did. Applejack's mind began to panic. slowly sitting up, she looked around like she never had seen this Place. slowly standing up, she walk into the bedroom her legs shakeing all the way, and find some New clothes. after dressing up again she walk out of the bedroom. Rainbow had dressed herself too. ''Babe, we need to do that aga-'' Rainbow was cut off by Applejack stuffing something in her mouth. the Object was looking like a thermometer, but it was longer and it did't test how warm she was. the Liquid inside was green. then she felt it dry out her mouth. after her mouth was dry, Applejack took the item out. replaceing it With a cup of a blue Liquid, Forceing Rainbow to swollow every drop. letting her free from, whatever happend. Rainbow tryed to recover, the Liquid taseded horrible. ''Bleh, what was that?'' she asked angry as Applejack placed the drying thing in a bowl of red Liquid. ''that Liquid make it harder to find you when he comes looking for you.'' she answerd not turning away from the Liquid toward the eamty cup. ''after what we did this night.'' she turned around faceing Rainbow. ''he will come after you and use you to Get to me.'' ''why would he do that? and who is He?'' Rainbow said sitting Down on an eamty Cage. ''you are going to tell me who 'He' is!'' Applejack sighed. ''He is the son of one my greatest enemy. he is the Prince of shadows, his father was actually king Sombra. he is after me, if he make me preagment With his child, I will be unable to defeat the Shadow ponies. and as long as I have a child I have to care for, I cant stop the darkness that comes.'' Applejack walked over to her books. takeing out one big book, the book was black, With golden letters. 'The history of the shadow royalty' it stood. ''this book tells everything about the shadow ponies royalty. I read this before we saved the crystall empire. in the form that Sombra was in, I could't do enything. but you remember when he tryed to attack us?'' Rainbow nodded. ''one reson is that, he felt me. and he know what his son want and what his son's fate. witch is to stop the Hunters. but since I may be the only living hunter. he dont want to kill me. he want to make me his.'' Applejack finished With a frown. she hated the idea of standing With him at the alter. ''And how will he use me, to get to you?'' Rainbow said in a saractic tone. Applejack walked over to the Chair, sitting Down and makeing herself comfterble. she start speaking ''since.... well, I-I like you. he will try, or pretend to hurt you and since I dont want my friends or YOU hurt I cant let that happend.'' Rainbow was a little shocked, Applejack loved her but if she did Rainbow would get hurt. (still Last night) Outside the Elderfree forest Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie walked. ''why did we have to leave again?'' Pinkie Asked. jumpeing behind the others. ''uhh... I really think that they should have some privecy'' Twilight said not looking at Pinkie, she just stared at the town. ''Yes Pinkie dear, you would want some privecy when sou have.... you know...'' Rarity said, looking a little emarressed, looking away from pinkie and hideing her blush. as the four walked back to Ponyville. they saw the moon slowly rise from behind the hills. just then Twilight got and idea. ''Hey, why dont we have a slumber party, one tomorrow and everyone is over.'' She said looking super happy at the girls. she always loved haveing slumberparties. ''that would be nice, I will come'' Fluttershy whisperd and hid behind her mane. ''that would be lovely darling.'' Rarity said, she really wanted to know about RD and AJ ''Party!!!'' Pinkie yelled, Party streamers comeing out of her poofie hair. the hole mane 6 sat in a sircle in Twilight's house. Rainbow had her arms around AJ like a rope. Applejack looked a little enoyed but she went along with it. smileing weakly, she looked at Dash her relaxing breathing calmed Applejack. ''Soooo... Applejack, Rainbow Dash.... how are you two doing'' Twilight said with a smirk. ''ehh...'' Applejack said low, her mouth wide open. ''we are so a pair... Right babe?!'' Rainbow smirked at Applejack who sighed. ''yeah'' AJ mumbled 'Fluttershy low' ''Well how was your little night togetter?'' Rarity asked sly. crossing her armes and smirking. Both Rainbow and Applejack looked at Rarity, Applejack looked embarressd by the deep blush, Rainbow Smirked. ''It was wonderfull! she is so good in be-'' Rainbow was hushed when Applejack put her hand over her mouth. ''to much, Sugercube'' Applejack said as her blush deepend. the other Girls began giggleing. a couple miles away, in a dark crystall Castle. Carmalo sat on his dark throne, his dark gray coat was blending in that dark room. only green fire giveing a Source of light. his shadow mane, similar to his father only it was dark red. smirking to himself he thought Just wait Applejack Apple. you will be mine one day, if you like it or not. as he thought, he imagined Applejack in a long light gray dress. he did't like white, it was just to light. she was bound by her armes to a wall, she hung bearly over the floor. her eyes were green With red pupils and a Purple trail comeing out. she looked at the ground. her hair was loose, laying gently over her sholders. her belly was a little bigger, she was pregmant. just as he liked it. his thoughts were interrupted shadow formed infront of him. ''Son?! is she dead yet?'' King Sombra asked, stepping toward his 'almost lost in thoughts' son. ''huh?! wha?!....Dad I told you, I will not kill her. she will my bride and give birth to my child. to be honest, she is kinda sexy. and you may not say otherwise.'' Carmalo said as he got out of his daydream. the image of his 'soon to come' bride played in mind. ''wery well. but I still dont get it. why would you want to marry a hunter?'' Sombra asked, he did't see what his son saw in this woman. and she was a hunter, the one that kill his kind and every other dark creature. ''If I marry her and make her pregmant With my child. she will have to stop. what I saw when the vampire ponys attacked Hollon Shades. I saw her riscking her life for a little filly. she care for childern, I dare to say that she would never let enything happend to a child.'' he said as he walked toward his father. ''wery well, but when you have gotten what you want, let me kill the princesses.'' Sombra said. after what they did to him, he was going to kill them. ''of course father... I am not even interested in them.'' Carmalo said, ''if you would excuse me, I got a bride to kidnap'' With that he turned into his shadow form, and flew out the window. ''this will be fun to watch.'' Sombra said, as he flew after his son. Applejack walked into the deep apple Field. the moon shone Down on her, her Bright coat was glowing. but the black jacked and statson stole away some of the shine. Applejack walked and walked, it felt like it never ended. in the end she could see the farm house come closer. she smiled at her childhood home, but the smile did't last long. ''Hallo my dear...'' said a voice behind her. the voice was deep and it filled Applejack With anger. she quikly turned around to see the monster that she hated, but once she turned she did't see him. looking around she could only see his shadow move around. ''show yourself you varmit.'' she yeld out. ''whats the fun in that, just let you win....'' the voice came closer. ''Carmalo... can't you just leave?!" She asked, right now she only wanted to go home, have a long good bath and go to bed. "Applejack... Why do you hate me?" He asked, his shadow moved around her. He used his body as a rope and bound her. ".... Why would I not?" She asked, she was't afraid of him, but when he held her like this. The fear was starting to run. Carmalo could feel the fear in her starting. " just relax... It will hurt less" he said. His shadow arms went around her neck, growing thighter. She started to breath faster, she needed air. "S-stop... P-pleases...." She wimperd, her eyes had started to flood. Applejack had been close to death before, but it always sceard her. "Heh... Just close your eyes and it will soon be over..." He whisperd into her ear. Applejack felt her eyelids get heavy, the tierdness fell over her, and slowly falling into deep sleep. "See father.... It was not harder than that" he said as sombra's form came up behind him. Sombra did't say enything. He just growled at the woman he saw in his son's arms. Author's Note My god! Its been long! The butt is wrong with me?
Chapter 1The mane 6 were having a relaxing day at the park. Each of them found their own way to have fun. Pinkie and Dash were toying with Twilight as she attempted to create a textbook sandwich. Rarity spent her time doing blueprints for some designer top. Fluttershy found the park to have a plethora of critters and she attempted to catch baby rabbits. Everyone was having fun; except Applejack. She just sat there looking at the sky, as the warm sun rose over them. It was peaceful. Normally, the blonde mare would find no worry in the tranquility. But she knew all too well that if things were perfect, it was too good to be true. Applejack knew that at any time, something awful could happen. She feared not for her safety, but for her friends'. But...just what was so wrong here? They were having fun. Just at a park, enjoying themselves. That's just it. Any enemy of AJ's long list would jump at the chance to break that fun down into tiny little bits. What hurt the most was, as long as she was around, they were in danger. ''Applejack? Something wrong?'' Twilight asked as she walked over to her trustworthy friend. Applejack didn't hear her. She just watched her friends. Pinkie, wearing a blue skirt and a yellow T, tackled her rainbow-maned friend. The tackle caused Dash's green top to nearly come too loose. Fluttershy sat cross-legged with a bunny in her lap, petting it and stroking its soft golden fur. She didn't seem to mind its fur might have been ruining her long white dress. Rarity did notice this and sighed. Clearly, if an animal were to sit in her lap, it probably wouldn't get the same love. More like a swat, followed by a, "Ewww!!" "Applejack?" Twilight beckoned worriedly. It took a moment for the blond mare to realize this purple figure in blue jeans talking to her was a friend. She was never this spaced out...what was going on? Applejack sat up and straightened her brown Stetson. Such an old thing, it is. It didn't always have those red holes in it. Used to be all clean and pristine. Ever since...recent incidents, it's seen a lot more action. Her brown jacket and dusty blue jeans didn't fair much better. "Applejack...I can tell there's something bothering you. Please tell me?" Twilight put a hand on her worried shoulder. Applejack sighed. "Twi, there's nothing wrong. I just feel a little..." She didn't know why she was scared. Ever since she became who she was today, nowhere felt safe. "...I'ma liar, I'm so sorry..." She squeaked out, curling up with her knees to her chin. "What are you talking about...?" Twilight asked. "You never lie, what's..." Twilight paused. She bent down, and sat next to her friend. "What's wrong?" Applejack buried her face further into her knees as Twilight attempted to get a glimpse. "Y-...You're all in danger, and it's all my fault! Every moment I'm with you, something can happen. and I won't be able to help you." She then began to walk away, but before her journey even started, it was ended by a firm grip. "AJ- what are you talking about? How could we be in danger?" Despite Applejack's childish wailing, Twilight managed to drag the tough Southern girl to the ground. "I ju-" She yanked her hand from Twilight's. "I don't want to hurt you." "Wha-" And before Twilight's eyes, Applejack took off. Not even an onslaught of Royal Decrees could stop her now. "Applejack..." Twilight whispered as her friend left the park. "Hey- where's AJ going? I wanna race!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Twilight rose from the ground, scratching the back of her head. Of all her friends to hear of this news, it just had to be Rainbow Dash. "I...think something's going on. She was going on about danger a-" "WHAT!?" Dash's wings immediately sprung from their confinements. Without a moments notice or any more Twilight babbling, the rainbow wonder was gone. Twilight sighed. "Man...I hope Applejack doesn't kill me for telling." Rarity, not one to focus on the darkest moments at hand, smiled as she gazed at Rainbow's last known location. "Oh dear, I hope Rainbow will be brave. That poor ruffian is annoyed enough by the teasing." "Oh! Maybe they'll kiss!" Pinkie chimed with her index to the air. Fluttershy smiled meekly. "Oh, I hope they figure things out..." Twilight was more worried about what Applejack said than what she did. "I hope so too..." Applejack was alone. Her hands were dug in her pockets so far, she might find gold. She stared at the moving ground as she walked aimlessly. What am I doing...? What if they found out? Knowing...they'd only get in more trouble. They might even d- She shook her head like a bad case of fleas just invaded. Then something grabbed her waist. Nearly jumping out of her fur, she turned around with a fist prepped for a good clocking. She didn't get a chance as she was sent to the ground with a peculiar rainbow maned female on her. "Why did you leave?" As she pinned her rival, Rainbow stroked the girl's cheek. "Because I wanted to be alone!?" Applejack snapped. Using her upper body strength, she pushed the cyan girl off and gave a stare that would freeze lakes. "aww, come on babe. I just wanna know what's going on, cause like...you've been working against me a lot. Something is up, AJ, I know you." Rainbow grabbed her friend's waist tight, folding her fingers over her shapely hips. "Please..." Applejack began as she put her hands on Rainbow's. "I-I...Don't call me that. I just want to clear my head." She spoke absentmindedly because, while she was in a trance earlier, she walked right up to the Everfree forest. Immediately, without hesitation, Applejack broke into a sprint. "Oh no you don't! Not this time..." Rainbow Dash said as she began following her friend from overhead. "One day, you will be mine." Applejack ran towards a howl. It was a clear one- not an illusive changling or that of a copy cat. She knew better than that now. Ever since her parents suffered from a Timberwolf attack, she'd never forget the sound they made as they began a hunt. She knew by the smell. It was retched, like...the cow house. Or worse, Rainbow's laundry. She ran into a clearing, finding the wolf. At least with was a wolf, and not a Timberpony. "This'll be nothing," Applejack boasted as she cracked her knuckles. Then she went to work. An hour into the fight, it eventually became a game. Applejack rode the wolf like a bull. She sighed, seeing that even it was getting tired. It must have been a young pup. She stomped into the back plate- a weak point- and it broke instantly. The Timberwolf shattered into splinters and dust. Among the crowded area of sharp wood, Applejack saw a green heart. Without those, a Timberwolf could not properly operate. Without, they wouldn't be harming anyone, so long as they watch for splinters. Applejack held the heart in her hand, staring at its gorgeous, horrific magic. "I will kill you all, one day." Not too far from Applejack sat her not-so-secret admirer, Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash had a wicked smile upon her face. Did Applejack, the love of my life, just kill a Timerwolf? She is now a 10. Rainbow took a quick glance before she stepped from her camouflaged bush. And immediately tripped over a rock. Her stomach nearly made an indentation into the ground. "Ooohff!"She huffed, sucking in dry air. "Ow. That sucked." She muttered as she began to rise. Then she stopped. "H-hi babe." Author's Note Thx to: Roybgp for edit... Good job
chapter 2Rainbow felt that not only was Applejack staring down at her, but the sky as well. "Rainbow! What in Tartarus are you doing here?" Had she seen the fight...? Applejack's mind was running wild at this point, but she kept her composure. Rainbow's lips curved into a nervous smile. "nothing," She said as she rose to her feet. She moved in, her head lowered and eyes locked into her long-awaited lover. Applejack knew that walk. Her hips swaying, her eyes glaring and that unspeakably adorable smirk on her face- Rainbow was always cute when trying to get some. When they came face to face, nose to nose, and lips t- "Rainbow Dash!!" A voice erupted from beyond the wilderness. Applejack paused, looking in all directions briefly. While her friend was distracted, she fled into the shadows. Rainbow's eyes went from a seductive trance into a hellfire of burning, agonizing rage. "Are you kidding me? seriously!?" She cried out before being pummeled to the ground by an unknown force. It was fast, unpredictable, pudgy and pink. Only one thing could make up such a dangerous concoction: Pinkie Pie. "Oh Rainbow! I thought you got lost!!" The excited pink girl yelled. "You picked....the worst timing, possible. I almost had it. Almost had it, Pinkie!" Rainbow repeated, then continued to groan in frustration. She just got cock-blocked. "Oh....sorry." Pinkie grumbled as she crawled off her friend. "Ugh..." Rainbow was more annoyed that this was the second time she fell to the ground. "It's alright." "Oh, figured Pinkie's senses would find you. So...what happened?" Twilight asked as she entered the clearing. "Man...I don't even know." Rainbow said as she put her face in her palms. Meanwhile, not too far away, Applejack entered her home. Her real home. Though, as a normal anthropomorphic pony, one wouldn't consider it to be suitable for living, but that's an illusion through a powerful enchantment. Using her silver key, she opened the door and entered her home. Inside was a plethora of books, weapons and, oddly enough, cages. Cages with tiny, rabid, dumb creatures. Some might have even passed for being cute, if not for their sharp teeth and insatiable appetite to eat raw flesh. What was truly strange was that wasn't even the strangest section of the home. In the middle of the room sat a wooden table. On it lay nine green hearts, each perfectly identical to the one she pulled from her jacket. She placed the heart among them before she retrieved a book from her collection. The book was made of thick leather, making the cover look more intimidating than what the contents reveal. Applejack stared at the title in shame. "Applejack Apple's Journey- The Monster Hunter" She said in a low husk. She opened the book to a random page and read. -Wendingo A spirit that feeds on hate. When feeding, it freezes its prey making it equally as cold. Weakness: Someone touching it, friendship, or a warm heart. *Cannot be killed. Danger- 6/10 Applejack smirked. Looking over to a nearby cage, she saw one of the tiny little creatures. After all these years and all this documentation of magic, supernatural creatures and the unknown, she filled up several pages. Applejack turned the page. -Ursa Minor/Major Difficult to deal with. Sleep everyday and hunt in the night or dance on the sky. *Cannot be killed Danger- 8/10 Applejack turned the page. -Manticore Lion head, scorpion tail, dragon wings. Can be tamed. Look out for the poisoned tail. *Can be killed Danger- 2/10 - 9/10 When Applejack turned the page, she immediately regretted it. Despite her resentment, she read. -Genuvial Godlike creature. Resembles a deer with a shadow body and white glowing eyes. It tends to walk on two legs with claws that are deadly to the touch. Feeds on fear and nightmares. *Cannot be killed Danger- 10/10 Applejack shivered as she remembered the creature's eyes. Seeing this as the best time to sleep, the blonde maned girl set the book down and wandered to her cozy bed. "Hey! Check this out!" Rainbow called to her friends. There was a light that traveled to a door slightly ajar. Rainbow Dash pushed the door open slightly, and upon seeing no apparent life, pushed it open fully. "Looks like no one lives here." "That's not entirely true," Applejack said as she leaned against a wall, just outside of the doorways view. Rarity was the first to speak among the gasps. "Applejack, darling, you live here?" She asked, staring at the many hazardous dust particles that might stain her coat. "Don't touch that," Applejack snapped at Twilight nearly picking up the journal. Of course the bookworm would immediately take long, long, arduous stares at the collection of reading material. "What is this...? I don't even have some of these..." She asked dumb-founded. Regardless, she read the title, "Applejack Apple's Journy- The Monster Hunter." Right then, Applejack felt more eyes on her than ever. She stayed quiet. "What the hell! You have a secret life!?" Rainbow stormed over to Applejack's face, getting nice and close, then whispered; "That is freakin' hot." Then, finally siezing the moment, Rainbow pushed her face into her friend's and kissed. Immediately Applejack pushed her friend away, elapsing a tender, wet *Smooch* from their lips. Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie all gasped. Pinkie gasped harder though, proving she was the most excited. Until they saw Applejack wiping away tears. "Wh-...what's wrong AJ? You...know you liked it." The rainbow wonder said nervously. "What have you done...?" Applejack mumbled, staring at the ground. Rainbow's face turned to a deep, deep dark, sorrowful pit of abysmal depression. "Sorry..." Applejack knew better than to continue babbling. She pushed each of her friends one by one into her bedroom, cramming them all inside just barely. She turned to face a a shadow. She stared at it, her eyes fearless. It was a dead creature, in a sense. It had the silhouette of a normal anthropomorphic pony, but was merely that- a faded, old, blacked out being. And it stared at Applejack sporting daggers. "What do you want Carmalo?" Applejack asked. "Oh, nothing, dear. I was passing by..." His voice was like a slithering black cape that glided inches above the ground, casting an infinite void of darkness upon the room, before invading nearby ears. "Noticed you have another heart. Good, good." Applejack knew his game. He found her attractive- something that is happening a lot as of late- and wanted to mate with her. If that were to happen, however, Applejack would be unable to defeat this all encompassing dark specter. She knew if she ever had a chance to kill him, it would have to be while he was in his normal form. "What are you doing here?" She might have been a little scared. That only fueled her fear because Carmalo fed off it, and would not hesitate a moment to use it. This time, Applejack was in danger.
Chapter 3 (can have bad spelling)Applejack knew what Carmalo wanted, it sceard her. Carmalo walked around in the room, his shadow body going back and forth in front of her. ''Carmalo, plis can you leave. I have Things do do!'' Applejack said angry, pointing at the door. ''oh... you are always busy, why? I want to get to know my little girl-'' ''I not Your fucking girl!'' She raged at him, something that he loved. ''get the fuck out of here! NOW!'' slowly getting closer to her, he used his shadowie hand and stroke her cheek. he slowly moved it Down her body. moving it Down to her waist. he pulled her closer. he put his hand on her butt greedy. ''you know you want it, and I am the only that can give it to you.'' With that said, he crepet out of the hut. letting out a deep breath, she did't know she was holding. she got to the bedroom door and unlocked it. the five Girls fell over each other and growning. ''all of you need to leave NOW'' Applejack was not happy that they had found out. ''but AJ, I-I love you.'' she quickly said kissing her again. but Applejack quickly pushed away as their lips meet. ''Im sorry Rainbow. I love you too, but I cant, I will put you in danger.'' she alost strated to cry. she could feet the tears flooding her eyes. ''I cant let enything happend to you, I love you to much.'' Rainbow was starting to cry too. they loved each other, but what did she mean by danger? ''but... what do you mean by danger?'' she dared to ask. ''TimberPony, VampirePony, Werewolf, ShadowPony and more... my job is to protect Equestria. I Guess I can tell you, but dont tell enypony else, there should be as less as possible to know about this.'' all of them nodded, Applejack took a longer glare at Rarity. she knew that she was into gossip at the spa. ''well... it started when I got my cutie mark, for appels are not only me. my real cutie mark is... this.'' she said picking up the book and shoving them. it was her normal appels With a knife in the middle. ''I lied about how I got my cutie mark to Apple Bloom. I cant put her in danger, I will tell one day. but not enytime soon. Mac and Granny know, well they was there soo.'' a little pause was made as Applejack took some emty Cages out for them to sit on. ''this might take a wile, sitt Down.'' (backstory. Applejack is a kid here) Applejack stood at the egde of the elderfree forest, she could heare a timberwolf howl in the dark night. she had this feeling that something in there belonged to her. but what? ''Applejack!?'' the familier sound broke her out of her transe. turning around she saw big Mac runnigng and shouting at her. ''AJ, where... have... you been, everyone has been worry sick.'' he said slowly getting his breath back. ''I heard something Call my name... it came from the fores-'' she was cut off by a voice calling her name again. ''did you ear that?'' she asked looking over her sholder and into the dark forest. ''nope, we need to get home. Granny is gonna me happy to see you.'' ''Am I in trouble?'' Applejack asked looking up at her older sibling. Smiling he sayes ''nope, I will make sure of that. you heard something you say?'' then they took off home. Mac sat Applejack on his back. ''thats when I started to hear and feel them. it was creepy. thee feeling that someone is watching you all the time, the feeling that their is someone there or the ice Cold feeling that Wake you up at night.'' Applejack took a pause to see if eny of them had a question. none of them did. ''I did't know that the monsters or supernatual was after me. I was in danger the hole time. but they could't do enything before I got my cutie mark, but I did't get before I found out about a Family seacret.'' Applejack was walking to School when she heard someone calling her name. ''Hallo? is enyone there?'' she looked around. there was no one there. gettng back to the task, e had to get to School before she wsa to late. at School Applejack had this need, she wanted to og in the forest. before the last class Applejack could't hold it enymore. she walked into the forest without thinking. the teacher had notice that Applejack did't how in last class. he went outside to look for her, but she just saw Applejac walk into the forest. she screamed after her, ''Applejack Apple come back here NOW!'' but Applejack did't heare her. she cept walking. the teacher went inside and told every student that they could walk home, she had to get Applejack before something happend to her. she took off ter were she sa Applejack had gone. 'why did't I get her Family?' she tought. it might have been to late when ty got to her. she stepped into a clearing were she spoted a tiny little Orange girl. ''Applejack Im so glad Your safe, come lets get back before smething happend.'' she got closer to her as she saw Applejack staring into a river, but in the water. it wasn't her refletion. it was a black creature, With big horns and white eyes. the teacher tryed to pull Applejack away from the river. she got her away from the river. bu Applejack passed out when she lost sight of the creature. The teacher got her home and told Family wat she saw. Granny was the only one that did't looked too suprised. ''Yeah,she told me once she had heard one calling name.'' Mac said as he held a sleeping Applejak on his lap. ''it only mean, getting closer.'' Grany looked at the techer. ''would you keep Applejack inside the School, and not let her be alone?'' the teacher only nodded. then ranny turned Mac. ''could you walk her to School, and home?'' Mac nodded to. ''Good, Appeljack's life is in danger.'' ''I woke up a day after. but I wasen't allowed to at School.'' Applejack looked at th others. ''if Your wondering. that creature I saw in the river was a Genuvial. its a god thing. but enyway.'' Applejack sat inside, the other kids were outside playing. ''miss Letter (teacher) why cant I be outside?'' the teacher froze when Applejack asked. ''well, sweetie yur Family told me to keep yo inside for a while. I dont know how long but, Im sorry. I wish I could let Yu outside.'' Applejack layed her headon the desk. she *sigh* After School, Applejack went outside. she saw her Brother waveing at her and smiling. she started to walk toward him but was stoped, when she heard the voice again. ''Applejack'' it whisperd. she began to panic and ran right into her Brothers leg. ''you okey AJ?'' he asked looking at how frighten she was. ''No! its after me, I heard it.'' she cried into his leg. quickly Mac took his sister in his armes and ran home. of she had heard it again, it might mean something. they come home, mac took Applejack into the living room and sat her Down on the couch. ''Granny?!'' mac yeld. Granny smith came into the room, Apple Bloom in her armes. ''for goodnes sake Mac. you woke up...'' Granny trailed off as she saw Applejack crying on the couch. ''oh dear, what happend?'' she asked sitting next to Applejack. ''she heard it again.'' Mac said sitting Down on the other side of AJ. ''I remember the weeks after. I wasn't allowed to be at School, I could't be outside. I was just in my room. alone. but it was that one day, when I got a vistit from an old friend. or shall I say enime.'' Applejack was standing infront of her bedroom Mirror, her refletion told her Things. 'you are going insane, get out of here before you lose it.' the voice was so angry, it sceard her. but it was right. she was going mad. Applejack walked out of her room,it was almost midnight. she went downstairs, and headdet toward the door. trying to be as quiet as possible she got to the door. slowly opening it she tok her head outside. the feeling of Cold fresh air was amiazing. wanting more she took a leg outside. her hoof touched the Cold soft dirt. it was something she had't been feeling in weeks, she had missed it. ''Applejack...'' a voice in the dark. Applejack spun around loking everywere. ''Applejack...'' it whisperd again. t time it was dragging her. she felt herself beeing dragged to the forest. she began to panic. ''Granny!'' she screamed as a shadow surrounded her. as it coverd her. Granny smith come running Down the stairs. she saw her just before she vanished. NOOO!!'' she screamed. Mac, Apple Bloom and Granny smith sat in the dinning room, waiting at the guard. a white unicorn came into the room. the hole Sweet Apple acers was bing searched. ''well, from what you are telling. a shadow took her? are you sure?'' the guard Asked sitting downon a Chair. ''is the sky blue?'' granny asked. ''yes'' he answerd confused. ''well there you have my answer. I saw it With my own eyes.'' Granny as getting angry. se could feel rage inside her. ''I promised to their parentthat I would rotect them, but right now I need help.'' Mac was just sitting there ookingat ageing Granny, Apple Bloom was sleeping i his lap. right there he promised. 'when Applejack get home, will protect my Family with my life. as the smoke vanished, Applejack found herself at the river. ''oh no... who are you, what do you want?'' she cried out, the fear of that river was a nightmare she never will Wake up from. she slowly get over to the river and look Down in it. the monster With those soulless eyes, and smoky body. was looking right at her. ''who are you?'' she asked looking at it. ''I am Genuvial, for what I want: I do not want to harm you, but secure you.'' its voice echoed out of nothing, it was deep and dark. but it sounded like someone was talking almost at the same time. ''secure me? what do you mean?'' just as closed her mouth, more shadow came up to her. it hold her Down by her legs. she began to cry. she was sceard. ''leave me be!'' she begged. ''what have I even done to you?'' her voice was full of fear. the Genuvial liked it. ''its not what you have done, but what you will do.'' Applejack was helpless, would she die now? she was just 10, as she saw it she was to Young to die, she wasn't even done With School. ''plis, I will do enything, just plis let me live.'' she begged, she cried. but she was dead sceard. the shadow that was holding her let her loose. she could move. ''I can't kill you, not yet. take this as a warning,when you become 16 you journy start.'' just as it said that. the shadow formed its body. moving closer it placed one of the claws under her head, lifting it. ''but be aware, one day you will face me. and then only on will survive.'' it removed its claw from her head. when it was some meaters away. Applejack took a rock. she threw it at the monster. when it hit, it fell to the ground. ''you will pay for that dear.'' then it vanished. after the creature was gone. something felt strange. she looked at her flank. her cutie mark. Three Appels With a knife in the middle. ''after that day, I have always followed my cutie mark. but if Your wondering. no, I was not trouble when I got home. the gueards talked to me, asked me Things. and reported it to Celestia. I dont know what she could have done but still.'' As Applejack finished the story all the Girls looked at her in shock. why did AJ have a so seacret life? ''AJ, why have you been hideing it?'' Twilight asked. ''I had plans on telling you, but I got sceard, and well... I did't want it to hurt are friendship. but now that you know. I am going to be more carefull, around.'' Applejack said getting off the Chair and walking over to the book self. ''Twi, if you ever want to know about these varmits, I can borrow you a book, and Fluttershy. I have a feeling that you want to ask me about the Cages and some of the animals in them. Fluttershy only nodded, Applejack was right she wanted to know why she had them like this. ''well, many of thise Creatures are evil, bad or Deadly. I cant let them walk around in Equestria freely, when they feed on or kind's flesh.'' just as she said that she threw Twilight a book. the title of the book was 'supernatual, danger or harmless'. ''I say you start With that one, and plis dont freak out and try to help me away from it.'' Without knowing Rainbow had creeped up behind AJ. she was just behind her. ready to attack her lovely pray. when ''dont even think about it Dash. I know You are behind me'' Rainbow did't move. she hoped that if no one answerd she would lower her guard. but giving up. she just jumped at her. she burrid her face in her mane, sniffing in the good smell of.... Apples. Rainbow moved up placeing her head on AJ's head. getting an idea she gently bite Down on AJ's ear. With suprise, she did't see that comeing. she moan loud. she began to breath heavly, half closing her eyes. ''heh... looks like I found a weak spot.'' Rainbow say With her theeth still holding her ears. Applejack can't stop moaning. it felt so good. ''R-Rain...bow... plis... sto--ahh...!'' she could bearly speak normal. ''I think we will leave now.'' Twilight say as she look at Rainbow giving her 'plis leave, I want her now' eyes. ''ohhh... why the good stuff is happening'' Pinkie said, she had always wanted to see Rainbow makeing moves on AJ. ''no, pinkie. I think its time we leave enyways. th clock is-'' she look around the room, no clock. ''AJ, how much is the clock?'' AJ take something out of her pockit. she looks at. ''its 7 pmmm...'' a louder moan cut her off. ''thanks... lets give them some privecy.'' Twilight had to use Magic to get Pinkie out of the hut. even when they had left. pinkie asked if she could watch. but No. Once the door locked, Rainbow moved. she did't stop biteing AJ's ear, but she moved her hands Down around her body. Rainbow hug her tight. her arms surrounded AJ's waist. feeling that AJ had a lot of stuff in her jacked. tries to get it off, giving up to try without hands. she quickly take it off her. is she useing that thing all time, its freaking heavy she think and gets back to work.

chapter 4 (not edited)the night had just passed. Applejack and Rainbow was both panting, unlike Rainbow who was recovering from the Hard work she just did. Applejack's mind began to panic. slowly sitting up, she looked around like she never had seen this Place. slowly standing up, she walk into the bedroom her legs shakeing all the way, and find some New clothes. after dressing up again she walk out of the bedroom. Rainbow had dressed herself too. ''Babe, we need to do that aga-'' Rainbow was cut off by Applejack stuffing something in her mouth. the Object was looking like a thermometer, but it was longer and it did't test how warm she was. the Liquid inside was green. then she felt it dry out her mouth. after her mouth was dry, Applejack took the item out. replaceing it With a cup of a blue Liquid, Forceing Rainbow to swollow every drop. letting her free from, whatever happend. Rainbow tryed to recover, the Liquid taseded horrible. ''Bleh, what was that?'' she asked angry as Applejack placed the drying thing in a bowl of red Liquid. ''that Liquid make it harder to find you when he comes looking for you.'' she answerd not turning away from the Liquid toward the eamty cup. ''after what we did this night.'' she turned around faceing Rainbow. ''he will come after you and use you to Get to me.'' ''why would he do that? and who is He?'' Rainbow said sitting Down on an eamty Cage. ''you are going to tell me who 'He' is!'' Applejack sighed. ''He is the son of one my greatest enemy. he is the Prince of shadows, his father was actually king Sombra. he is after me, if he make me preagment With his child, I will be unable to defeat the Shadow ponies. and as long as I have a child I have to care for, I cant stop the darkness that comes.'' Applejack walked over to her books. takeing out one big book, the book was black, With golden letters. 'The history of the shadow royalty' it stood. ''this book tells everything about the shadow ponies royalty. I read this before we saved the crystall empire. in the form that Sombra was in, I could't do enything. but you remember when he tryed to attack us?'' Rainbow nodded. ''one reson is that, he felt me. and he know what his son want and what his son's fate. witch is to stop the Hunters. but since I may be the only living hunter. he dont want to kill me. he want to make me his.'' Applejack finished With a frown. she hated the idea of standing With him at the alter. ''And how will he use me, to get to you?'' Rainbow said in a saractic tone. Applejack walked over to the Chair, sitting Down and makeing herself comfterble. she start speaking ''since.... well, I-I like you. he will try, or pretend to hurt you and since I dont want my friends or YOU hurt I cant let that happend.'' Rainbow was a little shocked, Applejack loved her but if she did Rainbow would get hurt. (still Last night) Outside the Elderfree forest Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie walked. ''why did we have to leave again?'' Pinkie Asked. jumpeing behind the others. ''uhh... I really think that they should have some privecy'' Twilight said not looking at Pinkie, she just stared at the town. ''Yes Pinkie dear, you would want some privecy when sou have.... you know...'' Rarity said, looking a little emarressed, looking away from pinkie and hideing her blush. as the four walked back to Ponyville. they saw the moon slowly rise from behind the hills. just then Twilight got and idea. ''Hey, why dont we have a slumber party, one tomorrow and everyone is over.'' She said looking super happy at the girls. she always loved haveing slumberparties. ''that would be nice, I will come'' Fluttershy whisperd and hid behind her mane. ''that would be lovely darling.'' Rarity said, she really wanted to know about RD and AJ ''Party!!!'' Pinkie yelled, Party streamers comeing out of her poofie hair. the hole mane 6 sat in a sircle in Twilight's house. Rainbow had her arms around AJ like a rope. Applejack looked a little enoyed but she went along with it. smileing weakly, she looked at Dash her relaxing breathing calmed Applejack. ''Soooo... Applejack, Rainbow Dash.... how are you two doing'' Twilight said with a smirk. ''ehh...'' Applejack said low, her mouth wide open. ''we are so a pair... Right babe?!'' Rainbow smirked at Applejack who sighed. ''yeah'' AJ mumbled 'Fluttershy low' ''Well how was your little night togetter?'' Rarity asked sly. crossing her armes and smirking. Both Rainbow and Applejack looked at Rarity, Applejack looked embarressd by the deep blush, Rainbow Smirked. ''It was wonderfull! she is so good in be-'' Rainbow was hushed when Applejack put her hand over her mouth. ''to much, Sugercube'' Applejack said as her blush deepend. the other Girls began giggleing. a couple miles away, in a dark crystall Castle. Carmalo sat on his dark throne, his dark gray coat was blending in that dark room. only green fire giveing a Source of light. his shadow mane, similar to his father only it was dark red. smirking to himself he thought Just wait Applejack Apple. you will be mine one day, if you like it or not. as he thought, he imagined Applejack in a long light gray dress. he did't like white, it was just to light. she was bound by her armes to a wall, she hung bearly over the floor. her eyes were green With red pupils and a Purple trail comeing out. she looked at the ground. her hair was loose, laying gently over her sholders. her belly was a little bigger, she was pregmant. just as he liked it. his thoughts were interrupted shadow formed infront of him. ''Son?! is she dead yet?'' King Sombra asked, stepping toward his 'almost lost in thoughts' son. ''huh?! wha?!....Dad I told you, I will not kill her. she will my bride and give birth to my child. to be honest, she is kinda sexy. and you may not say otherwise.'' Carmalo said as he got out of his daydream. the image of his 'soon to come' bride played in mind. ''wery well. but I still dont get it. why would you want to marry a hunter?'' Sombra asked, he did't see what his son saw in this woman. and she was a hunter, the one that kill his kind and every other dark creature. ''If I marry her and make her pregmant With my child. she will have to stop. what I saw when the vampire ponys attacked Hollon Shades. I saw her riscking her life for a little filly. she care for childern, I dare to say that she would never let enything happend to a child.'' he said as he walked toward his father. ''wery well, but when you have gotten what you want, let me kill the princesses.'' Sombra said. after what they did to him, he was going to kill them. ''of course father... I am not even interested in them.'' Carmalo said, ''if you would excuse me, I got a bride to kidnap'' With that he turned into his shadow form, and flew out the window. ''this will be fun to watch.'' Sombra said, as he flew after his son. Applejack walked into the deep apple Field. the moon shone Down on her, her Bright coat was glowing. but the black jacked and statson stole away some of the shine. Applejack walked and walked, it felt like it never ended. in the end she could see the farm house come closer. she smiled at her childhood home, but the smile did't last long. ''Hallo my dear...'' said a voice behind her. the voice was deep and it filled Applejack With anger. she quikly turned around to see the monster that she hated, but once she turned she did't see him. looking around she could only see his shadow move around. ''show yourself you varmit.'' she yeld out. ''whats the fun in that, just let you win....'' the voice came closer. ''Carmalo... can't you just leave?!" She asked, right now she only wanted to go home, have a long good bath and go to bed. "Applejack... Why do you hate me?" He asked, his shadow moved around her. He used his body as a rope and bound her. ".... Why would I not?" She asked, she was't afraid of him, but when he held her like this. The fear was starting to run. Carmalo could feel the fear in her starting. " just relax... It will hurt less" he said. His shadow arms went around her neck, growing thighter. She started to breath faster, she needed air. "S-stop... P-pleases...." She wimperd, her eyes had started to flood. Applejack had been close to death before, but it always sceard her. "Heh... Just close your eyes and it will soon be over..." He whisperd into her ear. Applejack felt her eyelids get heavy, the tierdness fell over her, and slowly falling into deep sleep. "See father.... It was not harder than that" he said as sombra's form came up behind him. Sombra did't say enything. He just growled at the woman he saw in his son's arms. Author's Note My god! Its been long! The butt is wrong with me?
