//------------------------------// // Applejack's Death // Story: Paranormal Ponies // by opuscon789 //------------------------------// Twilight and Rainbow trotted toward the hospital. As they both walk in to the hospital they see something very surprising. Spirits flew all around them. Everywhere you look there where ghost. They flew all around them. “Rainbow, we have no time to look at the spirits. We have to find Applejack,” Twilight pulled Rainbow’s tail. They soon come into the room where all their friends where staining. Fluttershy was crying, Pinkie Pie was trying get a happy face and try not to look sad, and Rarity was keeping a straight face.   “Twilight, Rainbow, you're here. The doctor is about to come in and look at her again,” Fluttershy said. “She claimed that she saw you before she fainted and then she went back into a coma,” Rarity said looking a Rainbow Dash. Twilight looked angrily at Rainbow. Rainbow made a guilty look. “Well maybe she had a heart attack when she was dreaming.” Doctor Whooves came into the room “Ok lets see what we have here.” The doctor checked her heart rate and compared it to the last test they have made. He makes a scary discovery. Tears start rolling down his cheeks. Twilight looked at him seriously “What's going on? Tell us!” “I’m sorry to tell you the news. The heart rate shows that her heart is slowing down. If it keeps at that rate then she going to die,” Whooves cried. Everypony except Rainbow Dash was shocked. When heart beats slow down, does that mean that you're not stressed? She thought. Then the Heart Monitor makes a loud beep and then goes flat. Applejack’s heart stopped. Everypony except Rainbow Dash starts to cry. Rainbow starts regretting her scaring her. She closed her eyes. A tear rolled down her cheek. When she opened her eyes again she saw a spirit. It looked like a grim reaper. The grim reaper got out a bottle and opened it. He put the bottle and put the top on Applejack’s heart. A white orb came out and in the bottle. The orb all of a sudden turned into a mini Applejack. The grim reaper closes the bottle and puts it in his bag. Then he flies off. Rainbow all of a sudden get a idea. “Twilight, can a talk to you in private?” “Hold on, can’t you see that Applejack is dead,” Twilight cried. “Its about this. I need your help to do this,” Rainbow said. Twilight when out of the room with Rainbow. “What is it?” Twilight asked. “I think I found out away to bring back Applejack,” Rainbow claimed. Twilight eyes widen. “Do tell!” Twilight supported the plan. Rainbow took a deep breath. “I saw some type of grim reaper pony. I think we have to talk to him and then he will bring her back,” Rainbow said. Twilight questioned this theory “Don’t you think that maybe he would challenge us to something?” “I don’t know. If we meet him then we are going to have to find out,” Rainbow thought. “Well lets find a way to get into the ghost world at daytime. Lets go,” Twilight trotted out of the hospital. Rainbow followed behind her. "Well lets find a way to get to the ghost world at daytime. C'mon let go," Twilight trotted out of the hospital, Rainbow following behind her. They traveled through the town to the library. They stormed into the library, Rainbow Dash locking the door behind them. Twilight looked through the book of spirits. The book all of a sudden started controlling itself. The book flipped itself to the right page. A portal spell to the spirit world. Twilight read through the spell. She looked back at Rainbow. “Ok are you ready for this Rainbow Dash. I have found a spell that brings us into the ghost world.” “Just do the spell!” Rainbow demanded. Twilight’s horn lights up. She starts staying magic words: Let the light shine. Let the darkness bow. Let the spirits rome. Let the wind flow. Show the doorway to another world. All of a sudden they look at each other. They could see right through each other. A portal appeared right in front of them. Twilight levitated the book and put it in her bag. She jumped into the portal. Rainbow followed. They soon find themselves in a lava dome. They never knew where it was in Equestria. In the distance there was a town. “This is the ghost world?” Rainbow asked. “This is where most of the ghost live. Plus when a grim reaper gets a soul, he takes them here,” Twilight explained. “Well we're not going to find Applejack’s soul if we are sitting here,” Rainbow flew into the air and headed toward the town ahead. Twilight followed behind her. She jumped from rock to rock. She was jumping over burning hot magma. They soon make it into the town. The ghost in the town where flying around. There were some ponies that opened shops. Life in the ghost world was not that different then Equestria. They soon come across a castle. Twilight goes up to the guard. “Does a grim reaper live here? If he does, what does he do?” “He does, his job it to gather souls and trap them until they wake up. When they wake, he lets them go,” The guard answered. “My friend and I need to speak to him,” Twilight said. The guard nodded and opened the gate. Twilight flew onto the front steps. Rainbow followed behind her. They slowly open the doors. They hear laughing. The laughing was coming from the reaper himself. He hears the two ponies coming in. “Ahh, come in, come in,” he said gladly. “Um... hello.” Twilight was shaking. “Can we talk to you? And can I call you Grim?” Rainbow asked. “Sure and Yes, what is it,” he laid back on his throne. “Well me and Twilight are the gateway ponies. And recently my friend Applejack has died. We were wondering if you can bring her back?” Rainbow asked. “Well sure Rainbow Dash. But its not as easy as it sounds,” Grim replied. “How do you know my name?” Rainbow asked “And what do you mean it’s not that easy?” Rainbow asked. “Well I know all ponies when they're born. I even know when you die. I know for a fact that Twilight Sparkle and you are already dead because your both the gateway ponies,” Grim smiled. “Yes, all we need is Applejack to be alive again!” Twilight yelled.   “Well in order for me to do that, I need a replacement. I want you ponies to sacrifice another pony for Applejack to be alive again,” Grim smiled. “WHAT!” Twilight yelled. “There has to be some other option!” “This is the only thing that work, I’m sorry,” Grim said. “Twilight, this is the only thing we can do. We are going to have to do it to get Applejack breathing again,” Rainbow looked down. “I guess theres no other way,” Twilight looked down. Rainbow thinks for a second? Ok the only way to bring back Applejack is to bring another ponies soul to replace hers. But who are we going to kill?
