Edited by my awesome editor: Just A Random Pegasus thanks to him for all of the time he spent on this story.
Applejack’s dark secret.
It was a normal day in Ponyville It was nice and sunny, and there weren’t any bad things that happened during the past six weeks.
Applejack was busy doing all of her chores at Sweet Apple Acres, Pinkie Pie was busy baking, Rainbow Dash was keeping every cloud out of the sky, Fluttershy was busy taking care of her animals, and Rarity was busy designing a new line of clothes.
However, Twilight Sparkle was thinking about the missing pony. Since 2 weeks ago, a pony has been missing, but Twilight was told to not say anything about it to the others, considering it could cause panic in Ponyville.
How could this have happened? Ponyville is a quiet, peaceful town where almost nothing bad happens. Granted, sometimes we’re attacked by Discord or a giant bugbear, but both were a fairly easy job for the mane six, even though Discord put them throught some tests. But someone that has been missing for about 2 weeks?
We can’t do anything about it other than to search, but only I and the other princesses know about it. I cant tell the others, but alone I could never find the missing pony! Wait...
“… Spike? ….” Twilight called, her voice tainted with a bit of nervousness.
“… Yes?.......” Spike replied as he looked over to Twilight.
Twilight gave him a stern look. “Write this down and send it to Celestia:
“Dear princess, I know I’m not allowed to talk to the others about the missing pony, but can I at least tell the other 5 about it so we could go and search for him. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are good flyers so they could fly over the forest and the rest of Equestria while Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and I search the ground. I think we can solve this mystery together.”
Twilight looked over to Spike, who was writing Twilight’s message down.
After he was finished writing, Spike sent the letter to the princess; Twilight eagerly hoping for a reply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two days later, Twilight was pacing the floor. The princess still had not responded!
She put a hoof to her head, confused. How can this be? Normally, the princess replies within an hour from the time the letter was sent.
Twilight stopped pacing and looked at Spike, who was sitting on a stool, kicking his legs.
“Spike, I think there is something wrong. I am going to the castle to find out why Princess Celestia has not responded yet.” She said before walking towards the door. Spike was about to say something, but was cut off by Twilight slamming the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Twilight arrived at the castle, her eyes widened as she looked at the entrance. Princess Celestia’s two castle guards were killed. The white, marble floor of the castle was all red and covered in blood. When Twilight saw this, she realized something was wrong. Very wrong. Her heart started to beat harder and harder, and her ears fell back onto her head.
She looked up to the sky and saw Rainbow Dash flying around. She screamed at the top of her lungs: “RAINBOW DASH, COME QUICK!”
Upon hearing Twilight’s voice, Rainbow Dash came down as fast as she could.
Twilight said: “I need you to gather the others. Something horrible has happened. Bring them to my castle.”
After 10 minutes, all of the mane six were at Twilights castle except for Applejack.
Twilight said, “There is something wrong. Normally Applejack is one of the fastest to come when something happened.”
Fluttershy asked: “What happened, Twilight?”
Twilight took a breath before explaining. “Two weeks ago, a pony went missing and I was not allowed to talk to anyone about it, but when I send a letter to Celestia two days ago, I didn’t receive an answer. So, I went down to the castle and then I found Celestia’s guards dead on the floor. There was blood all over the castle floor, and Celestia wasn’t there. I think Celestia is missing, too. And maybe Applejack is also missing!” Twilight suddenly started to breath shakily. “Does anyone know where Applejack could be?”
Everypony shook their heads, looking nervously at one another.
Twilight took a big breath in hopes to calm herself. “Well, then let’s go search for the missing ponies, and try not to have a panic attack.”
She looked at everypony, making sure she had their attention. “Rainbow Dash, you and Fluttershy need to fly over the Everfree Forest to search for any of the lost ponies. Rarity, you and Pinkie need to search through Ponyville. And I will go to Sweet Apple Acres to search for Applejack. She can’t be far from Sweet Apple Acres with all of her chores to do.”
Just like Twilight said, they all went out searching, and Twilight went to Sweet Apple Acres. However, she did not know what was waiting for her when she got there.
“Applejack! Applejack! Where are you?” Twilight called loudly while at the farm. Suddenly, she was beaten on her head with an iron pipe, and she lost consciousness.
After a few moments, she opended her eyes and quickly realized that she was in a lot of pain.
“A.. A.. Applejack… wh.. what did you do?” Twilight groggily asked.
“Oh, hello Twilie, welcome to my basement of horrors....”
Twilight saw The most horrible things she could imagine. Corpses and skulls lay on the ground, and the walls were covered in a layer of blood; the blood of innocent ponies.
But the worst thing was about to come…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, everypony else was talking:
“Has anypony seen Twilight come back?” Asked Rainbow Dash.
Everypony shook their heads.
“Now Twilight is also missing.... Nice....” Rainbow said, though her face was a bit pale.
“We must search for her! She went to Sweet Apple Acres, didn’t she?” Rarity said.
Everypony nodded.
Rarity looked at them all in determination. “Well, let’s go to Sweet Apple Acres, then.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in the basement of horrors:
Applejack had an evil look in her eyes as she strapped Twilight to a cold, metal table. A metal protector was placed on her horn, which prevented her from using magic.
Applejack wasn’t saying anything. But then, she turned the table where twilight was strapped to and Twilight saw another pony, the missing pony. Her eyes widened with horror.
Then Applejack said: YOU ARE GOING TO WATCH WHILE I BREAK THIS PONY, AND IF YOU DONT I’LL MAKE YOU WATCH.” She yelled, pure insanity in her voice.
She took a big Black bag and opened it up and she prepared all of her tools.
“LET’S SEE HOW LONG YOU LAST!”
She strapped the pony to a wall and she started kicking the pony so the bones in his body started to break, one by one. Applejack enjoyed The popping sound of the breaking bones, and she started kicking harder.
One of The broken ribs of The pony went through his side and he started bleeding heavily.
Applejack finally stopped.
“NOW LETS SEE WHAT YOU HAVE GOT IN YOU!” She strapped the pony to one of the same metal tables as twilight was strapped to. She got a knife and she started cutting into The pony's flesh.
Slowly, she cut out the ponys’ cutie mark which was covered in blood already. She stabbed The pony in his wings and The pony was screaming out of pain.
“NOPONY CAN HEAR YOU DOWN HERE, SO DONT WORRY, YOU ARE ALL MINE!”
Twilight had to watch all of this, knowing that Applejack has also planned doing horrible things to her. She had her eyes shut the whole, but the screams of pain were enough to show her the pain Applejack was enforcing on the other pony.
Applejack finished her job, her eye twitching. She looked over to Twilight, who was shaking in pure horror. “NOW LET’S GET TO YOU, TWILIGHT!”
Applejack got an iron pipe and she started beating Twilight.
“NOW YOU’RE ALL MINE, TWILIE!”
She heard The bones in Twilight’s body snap and she kept on hitting Twilight until she passed out. Then she stopped and waited patiently until Twilight opened her eyes again.
“HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH YET?”
Twilight was in too much pain to answer.
“NOW LET’S SEE HOW LONG YOU LAST!”
Applejack got a saw and started sawing Twilight’s horn. Twilight screamed out of pain.
“NOBODY CAN ESCAPE FROM ME!”
She sawed off Twilight’s horn and threw it away.
Twilight saw the pure evil in Applejack’s eyes and she started cutting into twilights flesh, deep and slowly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, everypony else was reaching Sweet Apple Acres.
“We are here, Sweet Apple Acres, but where is everyone?” Rainbow asked. As she said that, she saw small drops of blood on the ground which made a trail that led to the barn. She and the others entered the barn.
Now they saw big trails of blood all over the floor and they followed the trail until they found a door in the ground. They entered, quaked with fear.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, in the basement:
“NOW I’M GOING TO MAKE AN END TO YOU, FOREVER!”
Twilight was in extreme pain and was unable to get away.
“You will never get away with this!” She tried to shout, but her voice was broken with pain.
“OH, DONT WORRY, I DONT HAVE TO GET AWAY WITH IT. I’LL JUST KILL THE OTHERS TOO. I KILL EVERYPONY AND THAT’S IN MY WAY, JUST AS I DID TO CELESTIA!”
She strapped twilights wings to a big machine using old and rusty chains. the machine started pulling on The chains.
The chains cut deep into Twilight’s wings and the wings were suddenly popped out of their joints. The popping sound echoed through the whole basement. Her wings were brutally ripped from her defenseless body.
But suddenly, there was a flash of Light and Applejack was knocked to The ground. It was Rainbow Dash who had kicked her down. Rarity had froze Applejack using a freeze spell she learned.
As soon as Twilight saw her friends coming to rescue her, she passed out because of her extreme pain and blood loss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Twilight? Twilight? Are you awake?”
Twilight opened her eyes and found herself in a hospital bed. Rainbow dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie stood around her bed. Twilight attempted to move but it hurt too much.
“The doctors said you barely made it,” said Rainbow Dash.
The doctor came in the room.
“Ah, hello Twilight! You're lucky to be alive. Because of your good friends you are still here today. Without them, you would have died. But you will never be able to fly again. Your wings were too damaged to be placed back.”
Twilight was sad, but she was also worried about what happened to Applejack.
“ What happened to applejack?”
Rainbow Dash answered:
“ After Rarity froze Applejack some Royal guards came in and took her away. She’s been placed in a insane asylum. She said she did not remember anything of what happened or what she did.”
