Applejack #1

TWO WEEKS EARLIER

It was another day on Sweet Aple Acres, and Applejack, and her brother had been working the fields for about six hours. It was mid afternoon, and celestia's sun beated down on the farm.  Applebuck season neared an end, but still most of the apple trees were full with both red, and green apples. Applejack had no idea that this fine day would be the beginning of something dark, and evil.

Applejack trotted to the next apple tree along with her brother, she would buck them, while her brother, Big Mac would put the buckets below the tree, and drag the buckets full of apples back to the farm. Then they would be shipped out to stores all over Equestria.

"Put them there, there, and there" Applejack said, pointing her hoof at three spots underneath the apple tree that was closest to them. Big Macintosh nodded, and trotted up the the tree. He put the wooden buckets on the spots where his sister had previously pointed out. He backed up, and watched as his sister bucked the tree with force.  A crack echoed through the applefield, and all of the apples on the tree broke off, and fell into the buckets.

Big Mac's job now was to bring the apples back to the farm, and put them in a cooled storage, get new buckets and bring them back to Applejack, then restart. All the while Applejack is alone out in the fields. Big Mac picked up one with his mouth, and the other two on each side of his saddlebag. He then trotted down the trail towards the farm.

As he disappeared over the horizen, Applejack sighed and sat down under the shade of the apple tree. She smiled slightly, and watched the clouds slowly inch their way across the sky. The sky was mostly blue, but a few clouds made their way from one side to another.

Applejack tilted her hat over her face so the beads of sunshine that managed to breach the leaves atop the tree didn't hurt her eyes. She got in a comfortable position to take a nap, because she knew it would take her brother about an hour to get back. She closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

A black hooded pony came out from the tree he was hiding behind. This pony had a black tail, and fur. He had duck tape over his cutie mark, and he had a black hoodie on that covered most of the upper half of his body. Their was a black mask on too to ensure nopony saw his face.

He crept up on the sleeping pony, and kneeled over her. It wasn't possible to see, but he was grinning.

"You may not know it yet, my sweet Applejack, but you're one of many who have been marked... He's coming for you, and there's nothing you can do about it..." He said in a hushed voice. "We'll make sure of it..."

Applejack slowly lifted her eyelids. She blinked a few times before she was awake enough to see the black pony who obviously didn't think she was going to wake up while he was.. inches away from her.  He froze, but not Applejack. She kicked him in the gut, and he went flying back a good three feet.

He shooked it off, and quickly got to his hooves. Applejack stood up, and backed up a few feet. Yes, she was an athlete, and a fighter, but she was frightened. She didn't know who this stallion was, or why he was here. Maybe he was a murderer, or a rapist, but that didn't matter at that moment. She wanted to get away from him. If he could take a kick from Applejack, then she didn't know what else could take him down.

The hooded pony stared at Applejack, even with the mask on she could tell he was making eye contact. "Well, hello my dear..." He said, calmly.

"Who are you!?" Applejack questioned, pointing at the hooded pony. She took a step back.

"Shhh, Applejack please quiet yourself..." He said, softly. He took a step forward.

"H-how do you know my name!?!?" Applejack questioned again, her voice shaking.

"My dear Applejack, I know more than your name. I know where you hide your house keys, I know where and when you sleep, I know all of your friends, and family, and I know you shared an intimate momment with your friend's assistant Spi-"

"Shut up!" Applejack yelled at the pony. She sprinted at him, full of rage. He could harm her family, or her friends. He had to be sent to the hospital, or the canterlot dungeons. When Applejack was close enough to the hooded pony, he took his two front forelegs, and slammed his hooves into Applejack's temples. He then returned his forelegs below him before he even lost balance.

Applejack fell to the ground, grinding her teeth in pain. She was holding her head with her front hooves, and her eyes were closed tight.

The hooded pony grabbed her head, and pushed Applejack's against his, so their faces were pressed together.

"I do feel oh so bad about doing this, my sweet, but I can't allow the plan to fail. See you soon... Hopefully," The pony said, with a voice that sounded almost... Guilty. He then forced Applejack's head into an apple tree.

The last thing Applejack saw before blacking out was the hooded pony, disappearing into the treeline.
