Applejack turn around to face him. high up on a throne made of Wood, there sat a large dark Brown Stallion With dark green hair, and glowing eyes. his body was cowerd in Wood. like armor, but strangly it was his skin. the Wood making wooden claws. simuler to her own. Wooden spikes coming out of his back, Wood making a frame around his ear. and large Wood fags (only two teeth of Wood). ''home, I have been gone the entire night. I need to get home now or my Family will get worrid, but the pup is home so. now you all can leave me alone.'' she started out calm but turned it into a scream at the end. ''okay then, but I will never leave you alone until you say 'yes'! but walk home, I will watch you from their eyes'' he said pointing at each timberwolf. Applejack sigh and left. ''so soon, so soon my queen'' he whisperd after her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ''we can't find her, the elderfree forest is to big!'' screamed a pink pegasus in the sky. ''no... we can't give up. she is in there somewhere.'' Twilight say looking into the forest. ''Twilight, I found her!'' Rainbow dash screamed. ''where is she?'' she scream in joy. ''in a clearing, come! I need you help'' Twilight flapps her wings, and fly after Rainbow. soon they come to a clearing. Twilight and Rainbow look down Close. out of the bushes a Orange Earth pony walk out. Rainbow gets to happy and fly right into Applejack. ''where have you been?'' Rainbow ask angry.

Applejack had her head low all the way, thinking 'why? why did he cursed me?' Applejack snapped out of her toughts, a smell, Apple fritters. Applejack loved them especially when Granny made them. ''Applejack? something is wrong'' twilight said getting her attention. ''what?! no... nothing is wrong. why do you ask?'' ''well you have been so silent'' twilight put her hoof on AJ's sholder. she knew something was wrong but AJ did't want to tell for some reson. ''I-I... no...

I cant tell. If I do I put you, all of you in danger. I wont tell enyway'' Applejack said lifting her head to meet Twilight's eyes. Twilight removed AJ's hoof. ''But mabye I can help you, if you just tell. everything will be okay.'' Twilight's Words was good to hear, but if they knew, they wolud be in danger, the timbewolf would take them to get to her. ''sorry Twi, I just can't.'' she said running home. leaving Twilight on the road. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- later that night she could not sleep. why? she was thinking. or discussting With herself 'what if they found out, my life will be destroyed.' 'but they have a right to know.' 'Yeah I know... but everyone will fear me, I don't want that'. '' Mom, Im not leaving you!'' filly Appljack screamed to her dying mother. ''Applejack, run! you are not safe here. Get home before you get hurt. do it for me.
