Nowhere to go but down
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWARNING: There's some like violence in this and stuff DX I'm so sorry. It's not TOO bad though.
Apple Jack's POV
Big Mac and I saddled up and headed straight for the prison. We got in and asked to see where this Fancy Fedora was. I'd never seen this colt, but after what he done to Apple Bloom, I never want to see him. The only reason I'm here is to make sure he don't come nowhere near my little sister.
"I'm sorry Miss Apple, Mr. Apple: He was bailed out this morning." A sheriff pony explained. We looked at each other and then back at the stallion.
"Pardon?" I didn't want to hear it again, but I wanted to know I heard him right.
"Fancy Fedora was bailed out this morning, and he was returned back to his home on parole."
"You just let a criminal like that out?!" I asked. I coulda wiped the foam off my mouth from the anger, but Big Mac had already left. "Big Macintosh!" I hollered after him. I wasn't gonna let him get away without me this time. I traveled after him faster than I've ever ran in my life just so I could keep up. I ain't never seen a stallion so full of rage in his life. I just assumed he knew where he was going, but he was heading for the barn.
"APPLE BLOOM!" I heard him yell. It shook my soul, so I know it scared her. The next thing I saw was Big Mac throwing our pregnant sister over his back and walking much more calmly.
"Big Macintosh what are yall doin'?!" I asked following close behind him.
"It ain't safe here. I'm takin Apple Bloom to stay in my room where I can watch her close and she ain't leavin until we find that colt and show him what happens when he hurts my baby sister." He fumed walking up the stairs quickly.
"Big Mac we're gonna find him! It's all gonna be fine!" I said just to make sure Apple Bloom would be reassured. I waited about thirty minutes outside doin' nothin' until Big Mac came back out.
"Let's go find that stallion." He picked up a shovel and started carrying it off. "We'll go to his house, I know where to find out where it is."
Sweetie Belle's POV
My parents came to visit Rarity, Minnie, Pearl, and me. They haven't seen the girls in months and were so surprised to see how developed they were.
"Sweetie Belle, honey, these foals are getting so big. They're so beautiful! Their father must have been very…pink." My mom gushed.
"Just his mane, but his parents were really pink, so that's how we got these beautiful babies." I smiled nuzzling Pearl.
"Darling, why don't you tell our parents what you had to tell them?" Rarity asked. "I mean they have a right to know." She insinuated. My parents' eyes were fixated on me: I do NOT want to tell them. I mean they made it clear that I'm never supposed to be NEAR Shadow again, and neither are my foals, which I understand.
"Just don't get mad." I pleaded. "I don't want there to be any secrets between us, and I really don't want you guys to be mad…but-"
"Sweetie Belle! Darling could you please stop stalling and just tell them what you've been hiding?"
"Mom, dad: Minnie and Pearl have been seeing their dad at least twice a week." I admitted. My mother looked at me with a very confused and disrupted, but my father was a different story. He stood up immediately
"Sweetie Belle, these are YOUR fillies and you're shoving them in harm's way!" He contended. I looked at my two little girls and didn't know what I could say. I can't defend Shadow, but my daughters need him. I want to get them together for Hearths warming.
"Dad, they love him, and he loves them! He's not going to hurt them." I informed to no avail.
"Sweetie Belle." He stated very firmly. "I will not let my two granddaughters be hurt, stolen, yelled at, or anything else that MONSTER will do to them!" He yelled waking up my twins.
"Dad they're almost a year old. They're too young to be alone with their dad, so I'm ALWAYS with them." I picked up my daughter Minnie.
"That's even worse Sweetie! If you're with him that just makes it that much easier for him to beat the heck out of you and take your foals!" He lost his temper way faster than I thought he would. Pearl and Minnie started crying from the outburst and I walked into the next room to talk in private with my father and let my mom and Rarity play with the foals. He was so irate with the whole situation by the time we walked back to the room that he was shaking.
"Dad calm down!"
"No! No I will not calm down! That stallion took advantage of you, left you pregnant BEAT you, called you a whore, took your daughter from you, and you're letting him see not only you but your children! Sweetie Belle, stop being so naive and immature. That stallion is too much trouble."
"Dad. You don't know Shadow! You think all the bad things are the only things he's ever done!"
"I don't care if he cures cancer in his spare time! He hurt my little girl, and he'll go after yours next. If you don't stop seeing him, or letting them see him, I'm taking them to Canterlot with me." He impended.
"No you won't!" I stomped my hoof in protest. "I am almost eighteen. I don't need you telling me what to do anymore! I am a grown mare with two foals of my own-"
"Two foals you don't know how to take care of!"
"Then get out if you don't like the way I'm raising them!" There was silence in the room like nopony was even there.
"What happened to my sweet little filly?" He asked leaving the room, and giving up on the fight. "I need to cool down, I'm going fishing."
"Have fun, where do you think I got my horrible parenting skills from?"
"I think you got them from never listening or paying attention to your mother and me."
"Maybe I would have listened if you were THERE. I live with my sister because she's the closest thing I have to a GOOD parent!"I fought.
"She's the closest thing your foals have to a good parent too!" When he saw the tears misting on my eyes he backed away a little.
"Sweetie-"
"Get out," I demanded without even thinking twice. My head was on fire and my hooves were shaking. "NOW!"
Big Mac's POV
Apple Jack and I went to Diamond Tiara's home to figure out where Fancy Fedora lived. She told us, because she knew I wasn't playin' around with this. Apple Jack was holding onto my back leg trying to stop me, but I didn't miss a step.
"Apple Jack get off a me. I'm tryin to save our sister." I trotted straight up to that colt's house and slammed on the door.
"Hello?" A mare answered the door, she had light eyes, and they were shining from tears.
"I'm here for Fancy Fedora."
"He just got home, please don't take him away again!" The mare sobbed running back inside. I followed her and when I found her she was in the corner huddled up with Fancy Fedora.
"You don't know what this colt's done!"
"He made a mistake! Please don't take my baby!"
"Now hold on ma'am this here colt is your son?" Apple Jack chimed in.
"Yes, and he would go back in time and not rape that filly but,"
"But he can't! Not only is she scarred for life, she's gonna have a foal to remind her everyday what this MISTAKE did to her!" Apple Jack pushed me back while I lunged forward and I shoved her hard out of my way. This colt is gonna die. I threw him over my back and wondered why my sister wasn't trying to stop me, but she must've finally gotten the revenge feeling in her veins. I heard that stupid mare that gave birth to this monster screaming, but I started just blocking out everything around me. It wasn't until I finally heard the colt screaming that I was back in reality, blood on my hooves, shaking. I stepped back as fast as I could tryin' to figure out what just happened. My heart was beating like a bolt of lightning struck it, and since it was a grey and stormy day I figured it was a right feeling.
"P-please." I heard a rueful and pitiful voice sigh. I looked down and I saw blood spilling out of a giant wound in Fancy Fedora. The velvet gore rushed out from his neck all the way down to his side. I stepped away mighty quick, but he grabbed on to my hoof tightly. "Please!" I kicked him in the head, and it felt like kicking a body. I figured he was beggin me to save him, but in my mind, he's beggin me to end it. I grabbed the shovel that I'd brought with me and swung it into his head over and over. He was unconscious now, or dead I couldn't tell. I didn't waste any time before I started digging. I dug deeper and deeper until it was much bigger and deeper than this stallion. I figured I'd been digging for two hours and when I threw him into the ground I knew he was gone, and if he wasn't: that's even better.
Twilight's POV
"Spike there are taco wrappers all over the floor!" I called out. He just came back from Dragon College for the break, and he was making a huge mess!
"Relax Twilight," He chomped, chowing down another taco. "These tacos are too good to be true." He'd gained a lot more than the freshman fifteen, but for some reason it didn't cap his taco intake. "Here have one!" He laughed pushing one in my face.
"Spike cut it out! Those have meat in them, ponies don't eat meat!"
"Pinkie Pie does!" Spike fought, slamming down a taco whole.
"Well Pinkie's different, in more ways than one." I scoffed stepping away from the scent of meat. "Anyway Spike it's not healthy to,"
"Twilight! Twilight ya gotta help me please!" Apple Jack blubbered opening my door and rushing to me. She pulled me by the hood in urgency. "Big Mac went and did somethin crazy, please come with me!" She had a knot on her head, and I could practically see her heart beat.
"Apple Jack, please calm down and tell me what's wrong!"
"We don't have time! We gotta go right now!" She wept.
"Spike I have to go, but please clean up the wrappers and STOP eating all those tacos!" I called, being dragged out my own door. We both started galloping in the pouring rain, but it didn't slow Apple Jack down a second.
"Apple Jack what happened to your head?" I asked while I ran beside her. She quickly put her hat on and kept running.
"I tried to stop him, but I couldn't find him and when I did," She increased speed, and I couldn't hear the end of what she said. We traveled as quickly as we could, to a small cottage and there was a mare outside who was lying on the porch screaming in suffering distress.
"Ma'am what's wrong?" I asked sitting beside her. "Are you hurt?"
"My son!" She wailed. "He's dead, he's dead!" She was shivering and heaving for air.
"Your son?" I asked looking at Apple Jack. She had tears streaming down her cheek, mixing with the cold rain that was still falling all over us. Then it hit me: Big Mac was nowhere to be found. "Apple Jack…who's her son?"
"The same colt who raped Apple Bloom." She said wiping her tears.
"R-raped? She was raped?" I asked horrified. "Wait and the colt is dead?! What happened?"
"Big Macintosh happened." She cried. "We can't even find the body. I think he went and buried it, Twilight what are we gonna do?" She sobbed on my shoulder. I couldn't believe all this stuff was happening, but I had no other choice.
"We'll figure this out Apple Jack, please calm down." I patted her back, but she swatted my hoof away.
"My brother went and committed the WORST crime in Equestria, this will not all be alright." She was frenetic.
"Apple Jack, stop it! We'll talk to the Princess she'll-"
"What? She'll defend a murderer? Yeah sounds just like her Twilight! I gotta go. I gotta go find where that crazy stallion went and he's gotta get out of Ponyville." I stopped her with my magic.
"You're not going anywhere until we settle this!" I said pulling her back in the direction of my tree house. She was such a strong mare that it was so effortful to pull her back. After a few yards of pulling her with all my might, she broke free from my magic and scampered into the grey fog.
Sweetie's POV
I knocked on Shadow's door and he answered it almost immediately. I never told him I was coming, so I don't know why he was waiting by the door.
"Sweetie where are the foals?" He asked pulling me inside and locking the door.
"I didn't bring them, I just came to discuss our family." I was as stern as I could be talking to an abusive stallion.
"Sweetie if you're not here with the foals, you're here for me." He said suggestively pushing me against the wall.
"Shadow back up!" I shoved him away. "I'm here to make sure we're on the same page from now on. I carried our two beautiful little fillies for ten and a half months, in that time I was: beaten, yelled at, bullied, and looked down upon. All I'm asking is that you do something good for once!"
"What might that be?" His Manehattan accent stung my ears.
"I mean we used to be in love Shadow!"
"I still love you Sweetie Belle, you're the one who doesn't love me anymore."
"That's not true! If you loved me you wouldn't hit me," I felt his soft hoof lightly touch my face, and my stomach ached as I met his eyes.
"Hey, hey now." He said sickeningly sweet. "I love you very much, and I wanna be here for you and my girls, but I gotta see them don't I?" He asked. I was in some kind of trance gazing at those pink eyes. The same ones he gave to our girls.
"Y-yes you do." I backed away quickly when I found a second of reality. "I want you to see them, but Rarity's right! What's stopping you from hurting them when you're mad?"
"My love for them? My fatherly feelings toward them? The fact they're babies?"
"When they grow up. When they're the same age you started beating me."
"You see this? I tell everyone this is why I do it Sweetie! I've been nothing but kind since ya waltzed in here, and now you're screaming at me! I never beat you! I hit you once or twice to try to help you out with that nasty attitude!" He said losing all his charm.
"You've changed ever since we had sex. I mean come on Shadow! You can't honestly think you're the same stallion I fell in love with,"
"Well I know you ain't the same mare." He scowled. "You're a lot fatter now. I mean look at ya I could see your ribs last month."
"Well I started eating again.."
"Bad idea, don't you think?" He was so right. I mean I look disgusting now, you can barely see my rib cage, and Rarity tells me that I still look too thin.
"It was a terrible idea. It wasn't mine though!" I defended.
"Here's my idea, why don't we go to my room and burn a few calories?" He asked tracing my cheek with his hoof. I quickly slapped it away and he grabbed my arm and threw me down. "You know your sister hates to see you hurt Sweetie and so do I, so why don't I send you home?" He helped me up and took my saddle bag off the coat rack. "You know, after ya heal." He said hitting me in the head with the bag and pulling me to his room.
