Chapter Two: Away we go

Rainbow Dash wakes up with Applebloom staring back at her.
“Hey Rainbow, hey big sis! She’s up!” calls applebloom
“Rainbow, this is important, have you been bitten?” says Applejack
“bah-bitten?” Whimpers Rainbow Dash
“what is the wound from?”
“a tree on your farm… I think,”
“well I switched your bandage and cleaned your wound, c’mon out when you can,” Applejack says. Rainbow Dash sits for a bit then eventually gets up and walks around to find out where she is.
“thi-this is Cheerilee lives. Or well, lived,” says Rainbow Dash
“how in the hay do you know that?” Replies applebloom, Rainbow doesn’t reply.
“hm, well. Lets eat, you need t eat something now.” Says Applejack. The ponies sit down and eat for a bit. Then Applebloom gets up then looks outside.
“hey girls? If you don’t mind me asking, where are the others? Like Egg head, fluttershy and rarity?”
“fillydelphea. We were heading there but we camped here for too long, then we were stuck here. Why?” applejack replies
“well, would big mac be there with them?” Applebloom and Applejack’s eyes water up and then they reply.
“we sure hope so,”

It is 11:45, applebloom is falling asleep, so they all say good night and get some rest.

BANG BANG BANG! Ponies were slamming on the door.
“WHAT IN TARNATION IS GOING ON OUT THERE?” yells applejack. She grabs applebloom and Rainbow dash and head out the back window and run down blocks and blocks of streets then get to a safe house.
“ok, this is… this is the wonderbolt safe house. This is where the winderbolts would stay if something like this happened. Seems like they were taken before they can get here. This has plenty of warm water and food. So, we stay here for a while then we start off to fillydelphea.” Say applejack, they all nod with agreement. They shower and have a meal then run out to the open road, completely empty. They walk and walk in the open road talking about their recent stories.

It’s 12:25 at night and Applebloom is fast asleep in applejack’s bag. They reach an old looking house. Rainbow signals applejack to stay here while she checks the place out. She sees 2 infected pegasi standing in the kitchen. Not much so she goes in, takes them out, cleans the place up and signals applejack top come in. again, they say their good nights and head to bed.
