Applejack #1

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.

Hey, just to let you guys and gals know this is based off of the youtube series "MarbleHornets" Check it out.

Applejack #2

Applejack could see a small sliver of light in the vast sea of darkness she had woken up in. Every step towards the light made an echoing clop sound, which was the only noise. The light seemed to get farther away with every step.

In a second, four things happened. One, the light vanished completely, leaving Applejack in the dark. Two, she felt as though she was going to through up. Three, for a split second the light came back on, and instead of just darkness around her, Applejack saw a tall pony standing infront of her. His face was covered in shadows, so she couldn't see it. Man was he/she TALL! Taller then her brother, and her put on top of each other. Four, the light went off again. Now she was never afraid of the dark, but knowing that there was something in the darkness WITH her.... It scared the hell out of her.

"Hello, my little pony..." A whispering voice said. What freaked her out the most is it was the same voice that the hooded pony, that knocked her out, had.

Applejack woke up, for the second time, in a hospital bed. A green colored pony with a brown mane sat at the edge of the bed. The pony was a mare, and she had a hospital staff outfit on.

"Ah, you're awake! Applejack right?" The doctor, or nurse asked.

"Yes, mah name's Applejack," Applejack confirmed. The pony looked down at the note, then back to Applejack.

"Are you feeling alright, Applejack? You took a massive blow to the head!" The doctor/nurse asked. Applejack hadn't actually noticed the bandage around her forhead until the pony pointed them out, probably because her whole body was numb.

"Ahm feelin' fine... Are there ponies waiting for me to wake up?" Applejack asked, noticing the lable "Waiting Room" on a door on the other side of the room. The pony jotted down a note before answering.

"Your family, and your friends are waiting for you to wake up. I'll go and tell them that you're awake!" The pony smiled warmly, and trotted to the waiting room. She opened the door, and stuck her head in. She only said two words before a very worried looking Fluttershy bursted through the door, "She's awake!"

Fluttershy stood  next her bed bombarding her with questions. Her normal calm, and quiet voice was... Still quiet, but was very quick, and shaky.

"Are you O.K.?" "Who, or what did this to you?"  And a few more questions.

She was followed by Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applebloom, and Granny Smith. They all looked extremely worried.

"So... How long was I out?" Applejack asked.

"Two days, and we've been camping out in the waiting room, just for you!" Pinkie Pie said happily, as if everything was completely normal.

"Big Mac found you bleeding from your head in the field, and brought you here," Twilight Sparkle said, pointing her purple hoof at Applejack's brother.

"Are you okay?" Rainbow Dash asked, her normally confident, and raspy voice was filled with worry.

"Ahm fine, Dash..." Applejack said rolling her eyes.

"So how'd this happen, Dr. Greene said the wound was made by a buck, who bucked you?" Rarity asked.

"Ah don't know, some stallion who was wearing a hoodie, Ah could tell that he had a black tail, and black fur, but ah didn't see his mane..."  Applejack said, images of the stallion flashed through her head. The group of ponies gasped.

"Who could do such a thing?" Rarity asked no one in particular.

"Ah don't know, but there arn't many stallions in Ponyville, he should be easy to find" Applejack reassured the group of ponies.

The group chatted until it was dark, then, one by one, they went to their homes, but not without promising to return in the morning.

Before going to sleep, Applejack could almost swear that there was a shadow in the corner of the room, that was the exact size of the tall pony in her dream.

Applejack's prologue

The stallion chasing Applejack had a black hoodie on, and a mask on under it so you couldn't see his face. Maybe he was working with the masked stallion, or maybe the tall faceless pony, or maybe both. The mystery behind what Applejack had gotten herself into was confusing.  She didn't know the purpose of the masked ponies that sometimes attacked her, chased her, and stalked her. Their motives had to be the most confusing thing of all... No, the most confusing thing was what the hell that tall pony was, and why it was stalking her.

Applejack had no idea how long she had been running, a couple hours at least. Her heart was pounding, and sweat dripped off of her head and down onto the stone floor.

"Get back here!" The hooded pony said. He started galloping faster, and was starting to catch up on Applejack.

"Stay away from me!" She yelled back to the hooded pony. Applejack started slowing down, she couldn't go on for much longer. She tried to speed up again, but her lack of energy only made her trip over herself.

She fell down on her side, and the hooded pony quickly caught up to her. He stood over her, and looked her in her eyes. Well... She couldn't tell because of the mask he was wearing under the hood. He picked up a large rock, and stood directly over Applejack.

"Shhh, it'll all be over soon" He said in a hushed voice, he sat on Applejack so she couldn't get up, he drew his foreleg, and brought it down as hard as he could... Right on his victim's head.

Sorry about this being so short. Actual chapters will be at least a 1000 words. I'm thinking of starting off all of the parts in my story with the end of their part. (like I just did) And by part I mean Applejack's part of the story, Dr. Whooves' part of the story, and stuff like that.
