Just your friendly neighborhood Salnalus. Writing stories and pointless blog posts. Feel free to check them out, and stuff.

After discovering Sunny Town and its dark secret, Apple Bloom flees with zombies in hot pursuit. One of the Sunny Towners try to protect her and allow her escape. Apparently, it isn't enough. Twilight comes to the rescue, only to see poor Apple Bloom face a horrible death at the hooves of her attackers. Apple Bloom becomes one of them, and is now forced to live as one of the Blanks. She didn't want this. How will she deal with the new life, and how will Ponyville take the devastating news, especially the victim's own sister?

This story is based off Donitz's Story of the Blanks. It takes place in the middle of Season 2.

Note: The [Gore] tag only applies to Chapter 1, and even then, it's only light gore. Nothing like Cupcakes or anything like that. It's a T-rated fic anyway.

Oh boy what a beautifull day.
*Notices an odd looking pony shambleing towards him*
Whats that sir?
*The zombie mumbles incoherently*
You want ...Brans?
Well i think i have some bran muffins somewhere.
*Shuffles through his bags,
oblivious to the many zombies aproaching*
Ahh i think i ....found....some...
*Is now completely surrounded*
Oh no.......
*A look of terror over comes him*
I....I don't..... have enough muffins!!!

If it was my fav game character in this situation trying to convert him would do no good since he is techically already undead

In the prologue its revealed the White KNgiht became a vampire 100 years prior

nice to know my idea was taken from me since i tried this story over a year ago and have been running a tumblr based on the same idea, over a year.

i like this idea and you can write far better than i ever could. i'm an artist. not a writer. please continue

this idea, i've worked hard on. is taken from me...and i feel upset. i'll follw because it's a good story but i am upset noone asked me about it

3403223
Are .. are you alright,
i cant tell if your upset or happy?
Umm have a muffin?
*Hands you a unsure muffin*

3403223
I... haven't exactly taken any story ideas when writing this... it was just an idea I thought up and wanted to write.

At most, I've taken a bit from another story called Battle of the Blanks, but this is a completely different story with a totally different idea. I would never try to steal any story idea.

Whatever you made, I'm sure it's different than the direction I'm going with this story... I think. Depends on whatever you did. No spoilers, though.

3403373 i liked the idea of a zombie bloom. so my idea was a blog with her failing to get away and dealing with staying there.

3403407
Oh... well, it is the same thing then...

Starting premise, I suppose. But I wonder if it turns out the same? I'm sorry, because I didn't know about your tumblr. I don't look at tumblr often, and when I do, it's usually four certain blogs.

This story, however, will also follow Twilight and Applejack and whoever else in Ponyville as well. Like a side story.

3403430 ahh...mine killed applejack. she's a ghost in mine but it's essentially the same. cept i didn't follow into the lives of her family much because i couldn't draw them well

3403486
Well, I already have the story planned out. Maybe something will happen to Applejack, maybe not. Not revealing anything.

The fic's mainly sad, but will have some happy moments.

3403524 XD i'm a grimdark nut but i hate horror and i scare easily...that's weird

I also enjoy blank Applebloom so I will follow this story and see where you go with it.

Is it weird that I love Apple Bloom, but I also like this pic...?

may i please ask...that she look like this instead of black. im mean she DID just die and it takes awhile for flesh to turn black . so i made her color abit darker.
i have a blog and quite few pictures if you want a fic cover pic that's not that one.

if it's ok

Welp....
Thats going to haunt my dreams for quite some time,
I thank you good sir, as my dreams have been quite boring of late.

3428977 that's slightly grimdark. not even the least bit horrifying. maybe alittle scary but that's it

3429056
Ahh you see,
The deffinition of "Scary" varies from pony to pony.
Show me the most disturbing horrifying monster
that has ever crawled out from the pits of hell,
And i won't bat an eye,
However show me an innocent filly, ripped from her family and turned into a creature of darkness, cursed to forever be left alone with the very monsters she fears.
Now that terrifies me.

3429091 ...point taken. show me something grimdark. something with a good story ttatched to it. i love it. won't bat an eye but heck..i HATE horror movies. i get scared easily.

Great story! I'm loving the general idea so far and can't wait to see what happens in the end!! :rainbowkiss:

3426006
First off, sorry to take such a long time to reply to this. Many days, I did not have access to a computer, and I don't have any mobile access to FIMFiction.

Anyway, I just went off the idea of what most pictures of the zombified Apple Bloom looked like, which depicted her with a black coat. I've seen a few with a pale yellow coat, like that one, made in the same art style. Those were yours? Anyway, I chose the black coat instead, so as to keep the status quo, or something.

3433226
Thank you!

Huh...I finally read the chapter. I love it Sal. I cast wait for the next chapter to come. You st it up well now let's see what happens to our poor applebloom shall we.

I was expecting more violent reaction instead of just quiet.
Still, I would have never thought of that crying pony to be Ruby's mother. :pinkiehappy:

I'm starting to cringe a lot in many fictions because the writer never utilise the situation. And this fiction is one of them.
1) You made Apple Bloom more interested in learning about Sunny Town rather than her own thoughts.
2) You are making a fool out of a pony by making that pony butting in every statement the others make; which I am very sure the ponies will never do.
3) When ponies talk to themselves like that, they won't go deeply about it like that. They would only do it in their mind.

As much as I want to continue reading, I've read quite a number which has this same problem that causes me to cringe too much.
I hope the next chapter is much better. :facehoof:

It's quite a headcanon in terms of the game, so... makes sense when you think about it.

3540093
I fail to see how any of that is a problem... but to each their own.

3540766
Imagine if you were Apple Bloom and you met face to face with your murderer. Then the murderer ask you for your name without any threats, would you be calm and trusting enough to say your name as if it was just a normal conversation?

Now, your murderers try to introduce you to their town. Would you be that interested in their town rather than escaping? Because Apple Bloom seem much more interested in the town instead of planning an escape.

3541010 I have to agree. Why would you not plan an escape. Why go talk with Mitta instead? Sal, I'm not judging your story I love it but as Screw said why would you want to meet the people of Sunnytown instead of leaving?

3606741
You do realize Apple Bloom had no choice, right?

This chapter... Dear Celestia. :fluttercry::raritycry:

Oh man! If I heard that a child was murdered like that, ooooh! I'd be so pissed!! :twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2::twilightangry2:

3632701
I'm debating on whether or not this'll be the last Dark chapter. Probably will, probably will not.

I probably suck at trying to convey sad emotions, though... :unsuresweetie:

Yep, this is exactly my headcanon of the story.
Cool. :pinkiecrazy:

I don't think I want to comment how your 'sentencing' work. If you are doing this solo without a proofreader, I recommend you to reread what you wrote. Because I've seen quite a number of sentencing errors that makes me stop to just reread what you just typed and still don't get what you said. Example:

Apple Bloom coughed to get Mitta's attention. “Cutie Pox. It's a disease alright, where a pony gets a lot of cutie marks out of nowhere and starts doin' those things. There is a cure, though.”
“That's what it was?”

The problem is that when Mitta ask what that was, it automatically refers to the last statement: "There is a cure, though"

Still though, don't always try to keep telling us about the time at any chance, you'll have to limit it. It just serves to take us away from the story every time when you stated how long.

3635474
The only thing I'm going to answer about your comment is yes, I'm writing this alone, myself, with no help. But I can't get help, so it won't matter anyway.

I'm more worried about AppleBloom.

3965781
There shall be more Apple Bloom next chapter. :twilightsmile:

3965830 Ok. And I hope Applejack gets her act together.

3965894
I just hope people won't hate me for what I made Applejack do... :unsuresweetie:
It is explained in the Author's Notes.

I think Twilight wanting to make AJ reveal her feelings like this, to tell her what she should do, not realizing this was AJ's way to try and cope, and wondering why AJ bucked her, too forced. Twilight should be smart enough to understand and to not miss the obvious.

Please... Don't just make characters do something their not suppose to. Especially Twilight.

She knows when to stop. Plus, you were making her ask stupid questions.

"Not until you drop the tough act and tell me how you’re really feeling,"

Imagine yourself talking to a friends like Applejack. Would you say something like you purposely made Twilight do just for the sake of what you want? Twilight is a sensitive pony. Not downright evil.

Think carefully before you make characters like Twilight say something like that.

3969181
And I have. So I don't see too much of a problem, to be honest.

For Applejack, kinda... but not Twilight.

3970057
Then give me the reason.
The reason why Twilight asked a stupid question like what Applejack was really feeling when she already know. :ajbemused:

3974306
Well, maybe because she didn't know?

3975114

You just contradicted yourself with this very paragraph:

Twilight had seen firsthand what Applejack and Apple Bloom’s relationship was like. They were like the best of sisters. They loved each other deeply, and they were closer than most other sisterly ponies were. They played with each other a lot, they supported each other, and most important of all, they were always there for each other. She had seen that Applejack cared very much for Apple Bloom, and the filly returned that care.

Twilight already knows how this have already affected Applejack. There are 5 stages of acceptance.
Stage 1: Denial and isolation
Stage 2: Anger
Stage 3: Bargaining
Stage 4: Depression
Stage 5: Acceptance

Applejack is already transitioning from stage 1 to stage 2. That is way to obvious to Twilight when Applejack blatantly raised her voice at Twilight to get out.

3975165
Yes, I'm aware of the stages. And believe it or not, I was going to use it in this story too.

But alright, we can all blame Twilight for trying to see the problems in a friend, and trying to overcome those problems.

In any case, future chapters with delve deeper into Applejack's emotions and Twilight's thoughts about all of this. And of course, Apple Bloom's situation.

Salnalus, your story is a masterpiece :heart: probably the best story I've read. :pinkiehappy: Will you continue soon? Please. :scootangel:
Cordially

:trixieshiftright: Interesting. So Applebloom is going back to Sunny Town?

im still wondering if applejack and the others will get to see her again as a zombie maybe have to fight her off as she fights the urge to bite them if they go looking for her
