Corpse Pony [CORPSE PARTY + MLP CROSSOVER]
Returning (P1) [Chapter 11]
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCaramel opened his soft blue eyes. He gasped when he realized where he was...It was familiar...
'I-Isn't this our classroom...?'
He sat up and listened to the silence. His ear twitched gently as he looked at Applejack.
'Applejack? Applejack, wake up!'
The orange pony murmured silent sounds as she gently opened her green eyes.
'J-Just five more minutes...'
Applejack's eyes widened as she sat up and eyed the familiar objects around her.
'Y-You're kidding...' Applejack said in disbelief.
'This is no joke, AJ.'
'We're really back?!'
'Yup! Looks liked we're the only ones here too. Guess the others haven't made it ye-'
A loud scream escaped Applejack's mouth as she stared at the tiled floor. A gaping hole revealed the other world as a puff of purple smoke escaped it. It soon died down revealing...
Applejack's screams transformed into gasps. She couldn't believe who she was seeing.
'A-Applebloom...'
Caramel was starting to get scared. He knew the ghost was related to his friend; he couldn't be rude.
'This is like that day. It was dark and rainy on that day too...' Applebloom had began to say.
'Wh-What do you mean?' Applejack asked.
'I'm talking about the day when I was kidnapped. I had fought with Big Macintosh.'
Applejack gasped, 'That was probably why I never saw him again.'
'I didn't want to see him again - I knew I was going to see him a lot at the farm; instead of going home, I stayed and watched the rain pour. Mr. Sombra came to me and I told him about what happened. All he did was respond with "nod nods" as he couldn't talk that well.'
Tears started to race down from Applebloom's tears.
'A-Applejack...I'm sorry...'
Applejack couldn't help but feel sorry for her younger sister. Yes, she did become a murderer, but it couldn't of been her fault...Right?
Applebloom gently wiped her eyes with her hoof and continued, 'Thank you...for what you did to us. It makes us happy how you took the time to put our souls to rest.'
'Why are you here then? We sent you back.' Caramel asked rudely but calmly.
'We're sorry...but not yet...' Applebloom added, ignoring the question that Caramel asked.
'But...we got your tongues back...and we got the confession...I thought...'
'That wasn't enough.'
'What the doll said wasn't enough?'
Applebloom shook her head.
Caramel was starting to get angry, 'Why would you trap people in the place you was killed in and make them suffer?! You brought us there, I'm guessing. I demand an explanation!'
'But you have got it all wrong...'
'Huh?!'
'We were just used to get the closed spaces together.'
'HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU KILLED WITH YOUR HOOVES?!' Caramel shouted.
'Caramel, calm down! Give her a chance!' Applejack reassured the yellow earth pony. Caramel growled in annoyance as he continued to listen. Applebloom smiled.
'Applejack, I'm just happy you and your friend is okay.'
'Why are you suddenly interested in whether we are okay or not?' Caramel asked bitterly. Applejack turned to Caramel.
'I know why.'
'Huh?'
'She's regretful of what she did. Her spirit was left behind after a violent end. The best way to describe it to a normal living pony is that it's like straddling the borderline of sanity and madness. That's why your head would have been filled with all kinds of conflicting thoughts and feelings.'
Caramel gasped, 'So that's why...'
Applejack turned back to Applebloom. Her pear green pupils grew to beg and plead.
'Please...Please help our friends, Applebloom! Celestia, Zephyr, anyone who is alive! Please take them back to the world that they belong to!'
Applebloom's eyes began to water. She closed them gently as she shook her head, 'I cannot do that, I'm afraid.'
'Why not?'
'The curse's power got weak for a minute so I took that chance to bring both of you back here. It's just... that place got filled up with so much sadness and sorrow...so everything in there started getting swallowed up by its terrifying power.
That goes for me too, soon I'll go back to being a scary ghost who attacks ponies who get trapped there without any mercy.'
Caramel was shocked at what he was hearing. He gasped in fright as he took a step back.
'We have to put an end to this!' Applejack yapped as she looked at Caramel. She turned back to Applebloom, 'Is there anyway we can communicate to Zephyr and the others to save them?'
Applebloom looked at the silver ceiling in thought. She looked back at Applejack, adding a gentle nod in reply, 'There may be one way.'
'What do we have to do?' Caramel asked.
'You have to come back to Crystal Empire Elementary with me; from there you have to finish putting our spirits to rest because I believe that without us the spaces will fall apart.'
