Set in the PonyEarthVerse

After awakening at the bottom of a river valley I find myself fighting for my life as i must brave the elements, wildlife, and my own mind to survive... Did i mention I've also become a pony? One who seeks to enslave both our world and Equestria to her will?

A self insert writing exercise to try and get back into things. As for the dark tag. Its just a precaution.

I'm not sure how, but I just woke up, and I'm Twilight Sparkle. How did this happen? Really.

To be honest, I can't even use magic. I don't know how, but I'm a unicorn who lacks magical ability. Heck, I'm probably the most powerful unicorn ever, and I'm unable to do so much as open my bedroom door with magic.

This story is a sequel to When The Mare Comes Around

Rae Jay, the merged personality of Rachel Shelton and Applejack Apple, finally catches a break. After surviving all the attempts on Rachel's life, she's on her way to reunite with her friends in New York City, this time with governmental support. She's going to get a little shut-eye, reconnect with her friends, then take on Discord and bring Harmony to Earth.

Except, it can't ever go smooth.

One phone call later, and Rae Jay is up to another batch of thrilling heroics, deep in an enemy compound, facing down a small army of trigger-happy, pony-hating bigots, all to save her friends. With only the Element around her neck and a fangirl CIA agent at her back, Rae Jay's odds aren't looking too good. And that's just a warm-up before taking on a mad god of chaos, and who knows what tricks he has up his scaly sleeve.

Why can't it ever go smooth?

Conclusion of the PEV - PonyEarthverse canon.

Rachel was just driving home late after a crap day of work when the other car hit her.

When she woke, she was two feet under. When she dug herself out, she was in Applejack's body.

As if that wasn't enough, she's been called to the Big Apple to help the other Elements of Harmony deal with what's been causing people the world over to wake as ponies. So, Rachel's gotta get from Upstate New York to New York City. Not a big deal. Except whoever buried her in that shallow grave off Highway 5 has found out she woke as a pony, and they're looking to put her back in the dirt.

Now, Rachel is running. Running to the city on hoof. Running from her mysterious pursuer. Running for her and Applejack's lives.
