//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 Alcohol // Story: What Am I Missing? // by Nightmarity19 //------------------------------// A crime scene photographer took some photos of this investigation while Starter stared intensely at the 2 gunshots in Dash's upper body but one stuck out from any other was one lodged into her heart. He pulled it out slowly and carefully so he didn't damage Rainbow's body further. Inspecting the bullet, Starter stood up to capture it in light to see this was fired from either a 9mm glock pistol handgun or an old western style revolver with a spinning cycle. Either this Applejack is a gun enthusiast or she really had some bad blood with Rainbow he thought inspecting the bullet to find any clues. He walked back to regroup with Twilight who was sitting in the backseat of his cruiser to help her relax until she was ready to talk and now was a perfect time to answer a question or two. "Miss Twilight did Applejack have a collecting gun habit and if so did she ever use them?" Starter asked along with a follow up question. "Yes she did and occasionally she would use them for hunting or when we had break ins....even threatening me with it to make sure I never tried anything or she would kill me" Twilight answered shaking a little bit. "The reason I asked is because I found this bullet lodged inside Rainbow's upper right breast near her heart" Starter said showing her the bullet. "That came from a revolver she carried around...she used that to threaten me" Twilight recalled Applejack on one or more occasion try to physically harm her. Firestarter was baffled and appalled at the fact that the country girl named Applejack attempted murder on someone innocent like Twilight who was about to be married but AJ took that last chance of happiness because of mere jealousy. Starter escorted Twilight over to Cadence's house; seeing as how she's safe with her and Sweetie Belle both being there to keep her out of harms way until this investigation concluded with an arrest. "I really want to thank you again officer" Cadence said. "Just doing my job ma'am, now you all have a good night" Starter said as he left. Cadence closed the door then went upstairs to check on how Twi was settling in, She knocked first before entering to see her little sister in law sleeping soundly and Cadence sneaked in to give her a kiss on the forehead before leaving. Goodnight Twilight Cadence closed the door quietly then walked back downstairs. Twilight tosses and turned all night with a reoccurring nightmare that takes place at her house where she is forced to replay Rainbow Dash getting shot over and over. Twi gripped the sheets desperate trying to escape this awful horrendous dream but there was no stopping it. The room shifted into just an all white room and a long hallway, Twilight got up noticing she was wearing blue scrubs and white shoes. Not being aware of her current surroundings, Twilight walked forward down the hallway while hearing screams of agony, pleas for help, and sounds unheard of. Just hearing those sounds alone was enough to drive someone insane but Twilight covered her ears so she could proceed onward towards the end of this corridor to God knows where. That's when she saw Applejack walking towards her, gun in hand ready to fire at any moment. Twilight gasped falling backwards and scooting away backwards hopeful that she doesn't come any closer. Eventually she backed up into a wall that didn't help and Applejack grabbed her by the neck tightening her grip. "Your gonna wish you never betrayed me you little traitor" Applejack said snapping her neck. Twilight woke up in a cold sweat screaming at the top of her lungs breathing heavily sweating profusely as she wrapped her hands around the area Applejack choked her and breathed a sigh of relief. "Twilight you ok? I heard a scream" Sweetie said walking in her room concerned. "I had a bad dream about Applejack killing me in some sort of hospital setting, she grabbed me by the throat then snapped my neck" Twilight explained. Sweetie held her tightly as she sobbed quietly on her chest terrified at what happened in that dream. Stroking Twi's hair reminded her of when Dash did that to keep comfortable during dire situations such as this one currently except Dash is no longer here. "I just want my Dashie back" Twilight said in between crying. "I know, I know trust me, it's hard to lose a loved one but for right now officer Starter is doing whatever he can find to use as evidence to convict Applejack where she will spend the rest of her life in prison" Sweetie said continuing to stroke her hair and kissed Twilight's forehead. "You think so?" Twilight asked looking up at Belle. "Positive" Sweetie answered smiling warmly. Firestarter sat at his desk looking through evidence papers of what he saw at the crime scene then looked over to the bullet inside an evidence bag he examined, finding out from Twilight that she had a lot of guns at her house and would use them for hunting and/or killing innocent lives. Searching all possible locations, he could draw up, all he could string the murder to was the family farm 2 miles south of here. I may have to drive up there and hopefully arrest her Starter thought. He grabbed his pistol then walked out to his cruiser but Firestorm tackled him to the ground. They engaged in a struggle for control and Starter monkey flipped her into some metal trash cans back first. "Who the hell are you?" Firestarter asked getting up and putting up his fists in a defensive stance. "I am known as Firestorm and I'm here to make sure you don't finish your investigation" Firestorm proclaimed. She went to punch him but Starter avoided it, then a kick which this time he caught it ans threw her into the cruiser's driver side door causing her to fall face first on the pavement as Firestarter put both hands behind her back before cuffing her. "Your under arrest for assault on a federal agent and obstruction of an investigation" Starter said picking her up and placing Storm in the back of his cruiser and shutting the door. Firestorm drove her to a federal prison nearby where the other authorities took care of Firestorm as he drove off listening to radio chatter. At least I know Applejack had an accomplice to carry out this murder A gunshot echoed throughout the farm as another cow went down and got dragged into a wood chipper by Applejack, turning it into meat she could eat on wheat bread when cooked. The thought of shooting Dash like she did wasn't making her feel guilty at all. As a matter of fact this was going to be a new beginning but in the back of her mind she failed in killing Twilight. A thousand ways she could torture or kill Twilight made AJ smile a devilish smile at the thought of hurting her in more ways than one was satisfying to Applejack. Her pleas for mercy, cries for help, and tears made Applejack chuckle more and more until the chuckle turned into a small laugh then ultimately laughing insanely. Twilight better be careful because I'm coming for you real soon she thought, eating her freshly made hamburger.
