Hearts of the Taken

One day later...

After 24 hours of complete silence, Applejack decided to speak up. "Might I ask where y'all is takin me?"
"That's for us to know, and you to shut up and walk." Shinygear retaliated, still staring forward. He spoke without feeling, no emotion. Only then Applejack realized the true toll that this mess took on Equestria, and everypony in it.
Applejack decided to play a few mind games. "So ya don't have ANY idea where we're goin'?" she asked
"I never said that." he said shaking his head
"Is that really for all of y'all to know or just you?" she kept at it
"She has a point chief!" shouted a burly hunter
"No, she does not have a point. She is a prisoner, and that is how she will stay." Shiny said, putting down he subject.
Applejack tried to get it started again. "All I'm sayin is-" she was cut off by a strike from Shinygear
"What you should be saying is NOTHING, absolutely nothing." Shinygear cracked his hooves. AJ was beginning to believe that this pony was off his rocker.
Applejack continued to push her luck. "Nothing, absolutely nothing."
"You are severely trying my patience." he said through gritted teeth
"Oh cheer up friend." she slumped her fore hoof over his shoulder
"I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND!" he hit her in the face with the butt of his gun.
She was knocked unconscious. Shiny exhaled deeply, and turned to see his whole crew looking at him in surprise.
"Get a stretcher, she's coming with." he said against his better judgement
