As The Queen Reigns...
Chosen
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI opened my eyes, gazing at the world that stood in front of me. My vision was blurred, but it began to clear up as I sat on my bed. I scanned the room, looking for a sign of life. Nothing. I was at my room, but I couldn't remember how I got here. I heard the window slowly began to open. My attention quickly turned towards the movement, and my eyes widened as I recognized the figure. Rainbow Dash.
As soon as the window was fully open, she stopped in her tracks.
"I just...wanted to check on you" she said explaining herself before I even asked.
"Ah guess you still care 'bout lil' ol' me" I said, lowering my gaze. She climbed over, now inside, Rainbow began to walk slowly next to my bed. She stood there, staring at me. I shrank under her intimidating gaze, guilt. "Rainbow..." I began, but she interrupted me.
"There's nothing to say Applejack, you left me for power. For...her" she said, spitting out that last word like poisonous venom.
I sighed thinking about my next words "Ah did, didn't Ah" I said putting on my bravest face.
Her eyes watered, I could tell, but she blinked the tears away. "I don't know why I even bothered coming here" she said, making her way out to the window she came from. No...don't leave me, please.
"Rainbow?" I called out to her. But she wasn't there anymore.
Angel Delight came in, closing the door behind her. When she saw me sitting down on my bed, she quickly went over to my side. "Applejack! Oh, thank god you're alright! We were so worried" she giving me a big embrace, taking my breath away.
"What happened?" I asked, still confused about everything.
"You fainted, that's what happened!"
"Gee, please lower your voice! Ah just woke up" I said rubbing my temples as both her shouting and mine had began to start a headache. "But...how long have Ah been asleep for anyway?"
"One week"
"ONE WEEK?!"
"Yes, now please lower your voice" she deadpanned.
"Why? Is there somethin' wrong with me?" I asked.
"Yes...no...maybe..I don't know, I guess it's wrong, if you didn't follow the rules" she asked in an accusing tone. Follow rules?
"What exactly does that mean?"
"Means you haven't been reading your code of being a good wife" Excuse me? Where did this attitude come from?
"Angel, sugar, you're not makin' any sense right now" I said in calming tone. That seemed to infuriate her even more because she looked at me straight in the eyes this time.
"No, Applejack. There's me helping you with your past relationship and helping you get over it. But there's something called "cheating" that you certainly been doing 'cause there is no way, no way, that this could've happened if you haven't been unfaithful" Unfaithful? But I haven't even been awake enough for her to assume anything.
"What are you talkin' about?"
"You know damn well what I'm talking about!"
"Ah don't"
"Tell me the truth... is it with that Caramel guy?"
"What?"
"Ca-ra-mel"
"No...what?" This was making my head hurt, no matter how much I tried, she wouldn't spit it out.
"Applejack...you're pregnant"
Ha!...ha
"No, Angel you're confused. Ah can't be pregnant you see, Ah haven't been with a stallion" I said trying not to freak out.
"And you see here is where I know you're lying, you dirty w-"
"Hey! Don't come at me with all that, you know perfectly well Ah can't be with anyone besides Rainbow!"
"Then explain this!" she said pointing my stomach with her hoof. That's when it kicked in. She wasn't joking. I initially thought she was, but the look on her eyes tell me otherwise. But how is this possible? I know for sure I've never been with no stallion. I couldn't take this new processed information as tears started flowing out.
I ran out of the room, leaving a regret-looking Angel behind with her thoughts. I started sobbing as the words "No this can't be happening!" repeatedly started filling my head. Just as Twilight's room came into view, I slammed the door behind me, looking straight at her. She had been combing her mane, I could tell. Twilight turned to address me, too bad I wasn't in the mood.
"Applejack, darling, how-"
"Don't come at me with that bullshit!"
"What are you talking about dear?"
"Don't "dear" me either. How is it that Ah've been told Ah'm pregnant!" I shouted, probably disturbing the whole castle.
Twilight stood there gaping at what I just said. It's not like she didn't know. "Wh-who told you?"
"That doesn't matter, the point is that Ah'm pregnant!"
"Okay, calm down" she said grabbing my hooves and placing them firmly in the ground with her magic. "Applejack, stop! Let..me...fucking explain!"
"Go on..."
"I put that foal on you"
"What?!" No..no.. why?! Why her?!
"I... didn't tell you because I knew you wouldn't want to marry me if I told you"
"Ah wasn't going to marry you in the first place!"
"That's besides the point... I have the power to...make a mare and a mare conceive a foal"
"And I'm suddenly your experiment?!"
"No I've tried many times...just this time it worked" So... what?!
"You raped me?!"
"Technically... I wasn't the one raping you and well you gave yourself in"
"No Ah didn't, Ah wouldn't do something foolish like that...but who's the one?" I said scared at what the answer could be.
"Who else do you think it was?" she asked, smirking...that same smirk I had grown familiar too. One that told me nothing good was coming out of all of this.
"Rainbow"
