You dashed out of the barn house, and you head straight into town. Applejack said that she'll be back soon, probably another lie from her. What's this stallion gonna do next?
You ran and ran, not even bothering to stop. You hope it's not too late.
* * * * * *
Applejack's walking down the cobblestone road, with that sad, scared look on her face. There's something up with this damn stallion she's dating.
"There you are." He said as he saw her approached him. "Glad you made it."
"M-Me too." Said AJ scared not making eye contact with him.
"We ready to get this over with hon?"
"Wh-What do you mean?"
"I mean." He said as he walked to her and he put his hoof on her... "We takin' it further." He whispered in her ear. Applejack shivered, she's now scared out of her mind.
"Ah... Ah can't." She said as she backed off.
The stallion pins her to a wall. "We're gonna take this relationship further, whether you like it or no-" His speech was interrupted as you came up behind him out of no where. Pulling him off of Applejack, and you just punched away with your uninjured arm. You then grabbed him and pinned him on a tree.
"Wha-What are you-"
PUNCH (Right in the face.)
You look at him with those eyes. Those eyes of blackness, darkness, and anger inside of them. All you can hear echoing in your mind.
'Kill him, kill him, kill him.'
You threw him on the ground and you continued punching him in the face as hard as you can. Tears of anger running down your face. As you stop, he shivers in pain.
"Listen here you sick son of a bitch." You said in an anger, but very low tone in your voice. "You ever go near her again. I swear to god I'll eat your heart out. You got that?" He nods, he's defiantly scared of you now. "Good," You said as you got up, and kicked him. "Now go!"
He gets up. But as he runs off, he stops, looks at Applejack. She walked up to him, and slapped him across the face. Payback's a bitch.
"Okay, we're done. I get it!" He said as he ran away like mad.
As rain starts to drop. Applejack turns around where she saw you, she ran up to you and just hugged you. Not wanting to let go.
"Oh, Sugarcube. Ah'm really sorry. Ah wish ah never let ya down like that!" She said as she's now in tears. "Ah'm awfully sorry if ah lied too, I really didn't mean to. Ah promise, please don't hate me!"
"Applejack," You said which she breaks the hug and looks into your eyes. "It's okay, I'm not mad. You were just afraid, that's all. And I promise, he wont lay a hoof on you ever again." You said as you brought her back into the hug in the pouring rain, then break the hug again. "Did he hurt you?"
Applejack lifts up a hoof, it's bleeding. So's her forehead. "Come on, let's get you home." You said as you lifted her.
"Wha-What are you-"
"I'm not letting you walk in that hoof." You said smiling as she brings you in for a hug, and pecks you on the check.
"Thank you." She said smiling.
"Anytime." You said as you walked her home in the pouring rain.
* * * * * *
At last you arrived at Sweet Apple Acres. Even though you did your best to carry her with your sore arm. But oh well, you just wanted Applejack safe, and that's all that matters. You take Applejack to her bathroom upstairs where the first aid kit should be if you're not mistaking.
You sat her down, and looked into the cabinets. You mumbled to yourself where it is, until finally you found it. You grabbed the stuff that you need. You wrapped a bandage around Applejacks head as you placed her hat on the kitchen sink. After that, you placed her hat back on.
You positioned the spray in at her hoof, then you remember something. You put it down and grabbed a wash rag from underneath the sink.
"Bite on this." You said as she did as she was told. You take the spray and now positioned it. "This is gonna hurt for only a second. Okay?" You said as AJ nods her head and closes her eyes. You take a deep breath. "Here it goes."
'spray'
"MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!" AJ moaned into the rag as you sprayed her bloody hoof. As you stop spraying and put the bandage around it. You take the rag from her mouth, and she just smiles.
"How is it?" You ask.
"Ah... It stings a little." You gently take her hoof and kiss it. AJ blushed a little as you kissed her hoof.
"Better?"
"Better."
* * * * * *
You and Applejack are now sitting on the couch. The sun is further gone and it's already late at night. But you didn't care. You just wanted to be with her.
"You know, sugarcube?" Applejack said as she grabbed your attention. "You can be a real sweetheart. Ah'm sorry if ah let you down like that a couple weeks ago. Ah wish ah never gone out with that stallion who's in nothin' but trouble." She said as she brought you in for a hug. "Ah can't believe that you were there for me this whole time. How?"
"AJ." You said as you look into her eyes. "I was with you this whole time. In your heart, there could be some one who'll beat the living crap out of you. But I'm not that type of human, I just can't stand by and watch you suffer any longer. I just... couldn't." You said as you broke into tears.
"I love you Applejack, and I'll do anything to keep you safe. No matter what happens." Applejack just went into tears when she heard those words come out of your mouth. "So... I don't know if you want to but... Can we?"
Applejack just smiled the best she can as she burst into tears. "Well honey. You're awfully kind to meh family, you helped out on the barn, and you can be a really good sweetheart." She looks into your eyes deeper, and still that smile on her face. "Ah guess h can give you a chance."
"R-Really?"
"Why not. You took care of me. You rescued me, and best of all. You was there for me the whole time, sugarcube. Ah'll be more then happy to be your date. And plus..." She places a hoof to your cheek as you're still in shock. "You can play that guitar awfully well. But with your sore arm, ah don't know how long ya'll can go without playin' the thing. And... you'll be a fine member to the apple family."
You bring her into a tight hug, tears hitting her shoulder as Applejack's tears of her own hit yours. "Thank you." You said in a whisper Applejack pecks you on the cheek.
"You're welcome, sugarcube. You're welcome."
