The hole Family was sleeping in there beds. a Cold Wind made its way over to the barn looking for an opening. the Wind flew in an open window. as it came inside the warm barn. it took a form, a form of a pony loved in the Family. the Apple father, his yellow body and red mane. shined in the dark, it had been a wile since he had been in this body form. but he was there for a reson, and not to visit his Family. slowly he walked on the loud wooden floor. still he was a spirit so not much sound. he got to the stairs, but before he walked up somthing in the livingroom got his eye, on the couch a little puppy named vinona was looking at him. she only looked, not growling or wimpering. he smiled and walked over to her. ''how is the siblings taking care of you?'' he said patting her head. in answer she snuggel his hoof. ''hmm... good'' he said leaving the dog on the couch. slowly he walked up the stairs, the green wooden wall was giving him good and bad memorys. he only wish that he could enjoy them again. he got to the top. to be see six doors. one would lead to a bathroom, another would lead to a guestroom. the rest was bedrooms. two went to his two daughter and one to his son. then the last his wifes mother, Granny smith. he never liked her, she did't like him either. but he loved his children, only to want them back. but the only way to get his Family was to kill a part of it, taking their Place. the one he had in site was his mother-in-Law. but first he had to get his children to agree With him. hard, but not imposible. he walked in the dark hallway. he looked at the first door to the left. Macintosh's room. he smiled. he walked in makeing as little sound as possible, he looked over at his (now growen up) son. last time he saw him he was only a teen boy. he got Close placing a hoof on his back slowly stroking it. Mac was in deep sleep when something touch his back. his eyes shot open darting around in the room. nopony was there. ''Macintosh, I see you have grown...'' said a voice. he knew that voice, but it was impossible. ''P-Pa? wha...'' he said sceard. ''I am not here to harm. I am only here to help.'' ''wha... b-but what are you?'' he looked around but nothing was there. ''I can come back, but all of you have to give something... and not an item'' he said showing himself. ''what... do you want'' Mac was shocked to see his father. Alive? ''can you agree With me. for whatever I say?'' he asked. Mac was sceard but he wanted his father back he did not know what he wanted but he wanted to get it. He nodded. ''Good, now og to bed, you will need Your stength tomorrow.'' Mac felt tierd as his eyes become lighter. he smiled falling asleep again. ''you may rest my son, you have done a great job protecting the Family.'' the father said walking out into the hallway. ''one Down two to again.'' he said closing Mac's door. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple blooms door was open. not much, but a little. The apple father made his way inside to his youngest daughter. Bloom was sleeping well. how could he wake her peacefully. then he remember that she use to love getting her mane stroke. He got to her bed, starting stroking her mane with his hoof. Apple Bloom. smiled. she loved it. then it came to her. who was stroking her mane? her eyes shot open almost falling out of bed. she looked around in the room, Nothing. ''So big you have been Bloomie.'' said their father, but she did't know her parents as well. ''what...whos there, Im going to call for Applejack, show yourself.'' apple bloom said. He had sceard her. ''dont worry, Im not going to hurt you, I just want to see how my yougest daughter had grown'' he said making her calm down. ''so... are you my pa?'' she asked out. he showed himself. Apple bloom took a good look at him. she colud remeber this pony. it was her father. ''Pa'' she said Happy. ''Im here Bloom, and I will stay from now on. but you need to sleep now.'' he said calm hugging her. He laid Apple bloom back in bed. her eyes turnd lighter from er usual Amber colour. he smiled at her as she closed her eyes. drifting of to dreamland again. he looked calm at her, she as her brother was in his hoof. now it only remaind his last child. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- out of the room he look at the old mares room. he look at the door in anger. ' not now you need the last one first.' Applejack's door was closed. he walk inside. he took a look at the mare? in the bed. last time he saw her she was half size. he smiled, he knew how to get her. slowly making his way to her bed he lay down behind her. petting her on the head. whispring into her ear ''Jacky, wake up. its me Pa.'' he whisperd. Applejack opend her eyes slowly. she yawned and looked around, only to see her father behind her. she yelp, so much she slide out of bed. head first. ''ow.'' was all she got out before she get back on her hoofs. she look on her bed. her father sitting there looking at her. ''P-Pa? is-is that you?'' she whisper, taking a hoof out to touch him. her hoof made contact with him. her hoof was away from his as fast as she touched him . ''yes, Jacky It is me.'' he said as he saw her tear up. ''Jacky dont cry, I am here to help you.'' he said hugging her. ''H-Help?'' she ask sobbing at the same time. ''yes. I see how much pain all of you have. And I am here to stop it.'' he said breaking the hug and looking into her eyes.

Jacky its okey, Im here now. and I wont leave you enymore.'' he whisper to her. some houers later her father look Down at his broken daughter, he smile when he see she fell asleep on his chest. he lift her head carefully of his chest and put it Down ont the pillow, she bearly open her eyes. they change colour. light green. as he wanted. ''rest well, My little Applejack.'' he said walking out of her room. closeing the door. ''*sigh...* well I got my children.'' now it will be the Death to take care of. > chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Apple father looked at the door to his Mother-in-Law. 'I will enjoy this.' that was when he felt something warm on his back. turning around he see the sun coming up behind the hills. he smiled. ''I will protect you'' he said fade into a Wind again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the table was quiet, non of the apples talked. they only sat there, eating. the siblings had there eyes half closed. they looked like they did't sleep last night. the breakfast was over fast. Applejack and Big Mac went out to the field, starting with there chores. Apple Bloom went to get her saddlebag. ''Applejack? can you follow me to school? I want to tell you something.'' Apple Bloom yeld after her sister. Applejack walked up to the house again. she smiled. ''of course AB, just hurry I want to get my chores done before the sunset.'' ''okey, I just get my bag and then we go.'' Apple bloom ran upstairs getting just as fast down. ''Ready?'' Applejack said smiling at her sister. Apple bloom nodded. The sisters went down th path to Bloom's school. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ''so what did you want tell?'' Applejack asked half way to the school. ''well, its strange but I think I saw Pa last night.'' Apple bloom said looking at her sister strange. ''you to? I saw him as well, I think I fell asleep in his arms to.'' Applejack was a little shocked. that was not a dream. ''yeah...wait what do you mean by 'you to'?'' ''I-I dont know... maybe I get a new chance... to make things right. but why only Pa? why was't Ma there to?'' Applejack spoke soft and low. looking up at the sky. she felt a Cold Wind touching, moving her mane. Applejack froze of the touch. ''wha...!'' she yelped, as it moved up to her head, and starting patting her. she jumped to the side lookin behind her. ''somthing wrong AJ?'' Apple Bloom ask looking at her. ''I-I felt something...'' she whisper. slowly they got back to the road walking to apple blooms School. the Wind remained in Place. looking at his children. he now New who was the most sensetive one. smiling he went of. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Ding, Ding, Ding* the old grandfather clock rang. 03:00 at night. the ghost took the shape of his once body. walking carefully around in the hallway. then one of the door opend. he swiftly turned into a the wind. once he saw who that came he calmed down. the spell cant work with only one. Apple bloom poke her head out the door. she swore she heard something. ''maybe it was only a dream?'' she told to herself. she closed the door again walking over to her bed. ''Apple bloom dear. can you go down to the living room? I want to tell you something.'' Apple bloom jumped. and her eyes turend light, her legs and mind wanted to go down the stairs. she walked down. she sat down on the sofa. ''good, but I need your siblings down as well.'' he now took the form of the father. got close to AB and hugged her. ''stay here I will come back, and this time with your brother.'' he walked up the stairs and into Mac's room. ''Mac, wake up. I need you down stairs.'' Mac slowly opend his eyes, he turned his head, his eyes turned light. with a smooth move he got up, and walked down. joining his sister on the sofa. there father smiled as he looked at them on the sofa. under his contol, they could not move. not without him telling them. he looked at the last door with a smile, slowly opening it. he stared at the Empty bed. his anger shot up. where was she? he quick ran down stairs. looking at the siblings. ''tell me'' he said calm. ''where is Applejack?'' there eyes flashed, Mac did't know, but Apple Bloom did. ''she is With her friends on a sleepover.'' Apple Bloom said not thinking of what she just said. Mac sat there looking lost in the air. ''where is the sleepover?'' he asked angry. ''in the Library.'' Mac said, Even if he did't know she was going there, he always knew who held it. Twilight. the Father growled. '' I will come back soon.'' he said turnig into the Wind and took of into ponyville. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ''Twilight how much coffie did you drink, the clock is 3. get some sleep, all of others are dead tierd.'' Rarity shoutet at the alicorn. they had played Truth or Dare. and she was dared to drink coffie at 11:59. Twilight was crazy almost Pinkie crazy, but Pinkie was sitting in her sleeping bag With her hair up. Rarity dared her to put it up for the night. Fluttershy sat in her bag, sceard to say something wrong, she hugged a teddy bear. Rainbow was laying in her bag looking angry at Twilight, Rainbow was worn out. Applejack sat in her bag staring at the ground. Rarty faced the Alicorn With tierd eyes, and angry glares. Twilight took the hint. after Three hours. ''Sorry... I-I.... this is just sooooo.... good....Want some?'' she said jumping in Place. the five mares looked at her With 'to bed' eyes. she gulped, laying Down. ''thanks Twi.'' Applejack spoke tierd. the room became silent. the mane 6 closed their eyes. they fell asleep fast. the coffie gave out on twilight. Rarity stared dreaming about a Prince. Fluttershy dreamed of a lovely picnic With her animal friends. Rainbow dreamed of joining the wonderbolts. Pinkie dreamed about a Party Twilight dreamed about the Princess Giving her a Kingdom to rule (it wa not that bad of a dream. Applejack... she could not sleep, she just steard up at the wooden roof. '' Applejack...'' a voice called. come, come sweety. we're wainting for you. her eyes shifted to light. in a smoothe movement she stood up. she was out of her mind. she walked toward the door. on the way she stumbeld in somthing. Twilight's leg. ''of...'' she said, quick getting up and cept walking. Twilight opend her eyes by something. somthing fell over her leg. turning her head she see Applejack walk to the door. ''A-Applejack... something wrong?'' no answer. Applejack opend the door walking out, closing it behind her With a soft knock. but even the soft knock woke all of them. (of corse) they looked around tierd. ''Twilight what is going on?'' Rainbow started ''and were is Applejack?'' she look at Twilight. who's gace had not left the door. ''she walked out.'' Twilight said almost whispering > chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack walked in the darkness of the town. the only lighting was from the window to somepony still up. the darkness of the town was almost peaceful. the smooth Wind brushing in Applejack's mane, almost makeing her giggle. but she could't she was bound. all she could do was walk, walk home, home to sweet apple acers. unkown there was five other mares walking not far behind her. ''this is so boring, why can't I just fly up and stop her?'' Rainbow asked flapping her wings like Lightning. ''Rainbow dont, something is wrong With applejack, when she left she did't even look back and she just walked out not leaving a letter or enything. and I got a glimt of her, she looked hypnotised almost. like she was draged toward something.'' Twilight said not taking her eyes of Applejck. ''well in the direction she is going, I think she is going toward Sweet apple acers'' Rarity pointed out. ''Your right, I just want to make sure she is safe.'' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the wind did't notice the five snoopy mares, all he could notice was the orange, hypnotiesed mare walking in the dark. he flew down stopping in front of her taking form. ''Applejack were have you been, I was worry sick.'' he said with low voice to not wake enypony. Applejack just stood there, her mouth open like she wanted to say something, but could't. ''enyway, your brother and sister are waiting for you, dont leave home again. understand?'' Applejack nodded, he eyes flashed light for a second. her father began to smile. ''then come, we must start.'' Applejack took her place beside her father and walked home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the five others had seen everything. they looked shocked in way Applejack and the strange pony had walked. ''Bu-But that is impossble!'' pinkie ad Rarity said at the same time. ''what do you mean?'' Twilight said, Fluttershy and Rainbow looked at the two ponies. ''Her father was...is dead!'' Rarity almost screamed. ''yeah, I remember. me and Rarity had to help her up. she did't come to school for like a week. and we had to cheer her up.'' Pinkie said still looking into now only darkness. ''but he is dead, how?'' Twilight looked at the ground trying to think of something. ''maybe, no i can't be!'' she shouted. ''what!?'' the rest looked at twilight in shock. ''I remeber a spell thet can bring ponies back from the dead, but they must have a wish. and to forfil the spell they need to kill, and take the ponies place. and in a family as big as Applejck's! we need to save her. that spell can not be done.'' she had calmed down a bit, only to start again in the end. the five nodded and took off to sweet apple acers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Applejack walked into the living room, joining her siblings. but she sa down in the chair. the father smiled. ''I will bring the sacrefice.'' he walked up the stairs. he looked at Granny's door with evil eyes. slowly he got closer to the door, walking inside. his mother-in-law was sleeping. he smiled. he was still somekind of spirtit. he lifted her with a cold wind. she still did't wake up. he took her down to his childer. placing her on the table, face up. Applejack, Big mac and Applebloom just sat there, looking lost into the air. ''from the dead to the living, I give you a sacrefice. Granny smith, my mother-in-law. I have sworn to procect my childer. and nothing will hurt them enymore. Give me my life for this ponie's.'' his eyes began to glow in withe colour. Applejack, Mac and Applebloom began to glow with the same body colur of theirs. but the Apple father did't know about Applejack beeing the element of harmony. and the element protecing her. Applejack blinked with her eyes, snapping out of the spell. ''wha...?'' her head hurt, and her body was so weak. it felt like after a day of hard work. she looked around her eyes half open. the spell began to die down. ''what!? why? how?'' the father looked around. noticeing Applejack was not under the spell enymore. ''How? Applejack. how could you get out of the spell. it was powerful! nothing could brak free from that! how?'' Applejack looked shocked as well. ''I... wha...where...?'' she could bearly speak. he walked over to her, placeing his hoof on her head, stokeing her mane. ''do you have eny other power?'' he said placeing her had on his chest. ''I-I... yes... the element of h-harmo...'' as her voice died Down, she slowly fell asleep. he smiled, lifting her With the Magic. he took her up to her room again. placeing her gently on the bed. he smiled. ''the element won't help you enymore'' he walked Down stairs to the two others. ''to bed, we will do the spell tommorow.'' Apple Bloom and Mac walked to their room, and fell asleep. The father remaind downstairs looking at the old pony. then he placed a spell that put her to sleep, untill he told her to Wake up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight and Rarity sat just outside the window, they had heard everything. twilight teleported them both to the remaing friends. ''well I think, she is safe a little longer. the element relised her from the spell she was under. I guess we get the elmement and then banish that ghost.'' twilight said looking over at now dark barn. ''yes, but how do we get the element on Applejack, if she can't leave?'' Rainbow was getting angry. her best friend was in danger. ''well the hole applefarm is her home. so.... when she work tommorow, we fin her and put it on.'' it sounded like twilight knew what to do. ''so it begin tommorow!'' Rarity said. ''so were do we meet, darling?'' ''we meet outside of the west orchard.'' twilight said closing her eyes. ''b-but the west orchard is just outside the elderfree forest.'' fluttershy began to hide behind pinkie. ''I know, but if we are going to do this. we cant be seen before we attack.'' Twilight said looking 'sorry' at fluttershy. ''so see you later, we have to get ready.'' Pinkie said jumping home. ''yes, I got some Things to get ready, it is a dress tha can make us fit-in in every terrain.'' Rarity said With a large smile. ''O-okey, see you later'' fluttershy took off. flying fast to avoid the darkness. ''see you Twilight, I just hope it is not to late'' Rainbow and Twilight went off. Rainbow went home. and twilight got home to get a rare book of a plan B. A Wind had seen all of that. makeing a plan to hold his kids in his hoof. smiling he went off to the barn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ makeing his way up to the second floor. he went in to Applejack's room. he did't want to do this, but he did't have choise. he brought a sickness. that made her weak, stuffy nose and headache. it was stong and will keep her in bed, or at least the house. he gave her the sickness. he hated to do this to her, but she could break the plan. but it was what he had to do. he looked away as the sickness made its way Down her throat. Applejack began to sniff, feel weak and her head hurt. she started to swet. she felt like crap. but she was sick. the father hated to see her like this. > chapter 4 (gore) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack was in bed. sick, feeling like crap. she sneezed, her eyes were half closed. ''Urgh.... why?*sniff*'' she was so tiered but she could not sleep. she would just Wake up by sneezing. *achoo*. ''why? what did I do *sniff*?'' she lay in bed turning, and turning not getting comfterble. *knock, Knock* ''Come *sniff* in.'' the door opened slowly. Big mac, Apple Bloom and their father came in. ''How you feeling AJ?'' Mac said. coming inside. ''I *sniff* feel like crap!'' she bursted out sitting up. but fall on her belly as she tried to sitt up. ''Applejack, lay back. you need to rest.'' The father said using Magic to Place her carefully back. Applejack did't resist, she did't have the strength to it. ''Sis, I brouth you some apple Soup.'' Apple Bloom said, putting a bowl on her nightstand. ''you can it when you get hungry.'' ''Thank...*sniff*'' Applejack was starting to feel a little better knowing that they would be there if she needed something. ''if you need something, just call'' their father said as all of them made their way out. ''Rest well Jacky'' With that as last Words she felt tierd. and slowly and finally fell asleep. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ''where is she?'' twilight asked. they had been outside sweet apple acers all day. ''Are you looking for my daughter?'' a voice said from behind. The five mares turned around in shock. ''who are you and what are you doing to are friend?'' they roared a the pony. ''heh.... I did't think you would be like that.'' he said starting to walk away. ''wait, we... are looking for Applejack. do you know were she is?'' Twilight did't trust this pony, but it may be the only way to find her. ''of course I know were she is. she is sick in her bed.'' he said. just then a mirror came out of nothing. something formed inside the mirror. it was Applejack sleeping in her bed. ''as you can see, she is sick and need to rest. If eny of you want to see her you have to wait!'' ''But hold on. We know what you are! and we are getting you away from are friend. I Guess Celestia want to talk With you!'' Twilight was angry, no she was rageing. the others was sceard. ''And if you touch eny of my friends, you have to fight me first!'' ''heh... I dont have to fight you. she is my child. she is under my hoof. I have a spell that I can cast eny second and she and her siblings will follow my order, without enything to say.'' his voice was calm but turned into a roar as he came about. ''but dont you remember last night, she freed herself!'' This time Rarity was yelling. ''I do, but the element of harmony cant help enymore. I made her sick, every second we talk, she and the element get weaker. soon the element is useless toward the spell.'' ''but why do you need her?'' Twilight was almost shooting at him. he giggeled a little ''you still dont get it. I am here to help them, all the painful day is now over. all I have to do is finish the spell. and they will be safe. forever.'' the last of his Word fadet into whisper. ''but if you want to save her, I cane give you a question. but the question is something only the Apples know.'' ''but how are we going to find out?'' they hardly knew enything when it came to things in Applejacks life. ''well Guess.... how did I die?'' his voice was almost a whisper. he hoped that Applejack never had told it to enypony. as far as he knew. the five mares looked at each others. none of them knew. ''why haven't Applejack told about that?'' ''would you?'' Rainbow hung her head, why did't she know something so important of her best friend. ''I think I know, Applejack told me once. she ran out of the forest crying. and I asked.'' Flutter she whisperd, did she know. it was Worth a try. ''you died protecting Applejack, Big Mac and Apple Bloom. did't you?'' Fluttershy was sounding strong in her voice. this was about her friend in need. she had to do something. ''yes... but what did I protect them from? if eny know I will Return to the death'' he said calm. ''but if you fail, you may not or ever come back. if eny of you do, you will find yourself six feet under gound. you have 5 min.'' the Girls looked at each other. ''I dont know'' fluttershy said ''she only told me that much'' just as she finished her line. a scream came from the house. the father tunred around and wanished into air. makeing its way home as fast as it could. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the two female siblings sat in the couner dead sceard. Mac had passed out after getting a knock in the head. he lay on the floor, almost lifeless. but he was alive. two dark ponies stood in the door frame looking at the two fillies in the courner. ''heh... guess we got something to have fun with.'' the one said. the two dark ponies was about the same size. not as big as Mac. they were both unicorns. none of the hair could be showen. ''indeed, why dont you two get to the cart, and none will get hurt!'' the second yelled. the voices sounded so familier. but were was they from? Applejack and Apple bloom sat just still. they were to sceard to move. Applejack was holding Apple bloom close. closing her inside with her armes. they could do whatever to her but Celestia help them if they tryed something on her sister. Applejack groweld at the ponies. ''you dont want to listen hm....?'' the first said never taking his gaze of them. ''maybe a little magic will do it?'' the other said. looking at the first. he nodded. the seconds horn began to glow in a green colour, that made it even mor familier. the magic took a grip on Applejacks mane. dragging her onto her back. ''ow...'' she cried. the other used his magic and took a grip on Apple bloom. dragging her out of Applejack's lap. ''Apple bloom'' Applejack cried, the fear of her sister made her rage. got up struggling to get free from the magic, but she did it. ''Leave her alone'' she roared. makeing the floor creak, and the windows shake. the two ponies was taken back by the rage. ''then you have to listen. get to the cart outside! and we will leave her alone'' Applejacks heart sunk. she did't want to go, but she could't risk Apple bloom. she looked down on the gorund and nodded. she staret walk toward the door. then a Wind came, and not eny Wind. Applejack was happy to feel that Wind in this moment. the Wind took Place in the middle of the hallway in front of the two ponies. ''Leave my children alone!'' came the voice the two was not familier With. ''why? we have them, so back off!'' one barked at him. ''heh... you dont know what you have done'' as this as his last Word. the Three siblings head shoot up in the air, their eyes flashed. ''Like I said leave.'' he gave them one more chance. ''NO, we are not sceard of them.'' right them he saw the siblings walk closer With death in their eyes. ''I gave you the chance'' the father said nodding to the kids. Applejack jumped landing on the back of one. makeing him fall to the ground in pain. he began to cough out blood. the pressure crushed the most of his inside. also getting him on the path for a long painful Death. Applejack smiled stomping he hoofs Down on his back makeing more blood come out of his mouth. the sight was a nightmare. the other stood there in shock of what just happend to his partner. he turned his head just in time to see Mac. holding and swinging his little sister, makeing an impack big enough to crush bricks. Mac unleashed Apple Bloom, who took her hoofs in front of her. she hit the Pony right in the face. makeing him bleed out of every hole in the face. Applebloom backed of joining her sister makeing pain to the first pony. Now it was Mac's turn, and this was going to be a world of pain. Mac ran right over the pony stomping on his belly, neck and face. it was blood on the walls, floor and the Three siblings. the ponies wa bearly able to been seen. but Applejack and Mac took off their Hoods. Flim and Flam, was just assassinated by a mare, a Stallion and a filly. the father that had watched the hole sceen was proud. he now knew they could fight. that would only make his plan even more Perfect. he could og after Celestia. he thougt. No not celestia. I only here for my Family, and now everyone that has ever hurt them will die in world of pain. *clapp, clapp* ''my, my... I am so proud, now get cleand up. I want you all clean to the sun comes. then I will always be here. I promise'' the Three out of mind siblings nodded and headed up stairs. the father looked at the two dead ponies. I Guess I could use them as first try. he used the Magic to lift the bodys of the unicorn. he took the bodys Down stairs into the basement. there they hang on the wall. as an item. he smiled. closing the door. > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight was in the Library, looking from book to book. trying to find out what that Stallion did here in this world. and what did he do to Applejack? the Library was a mess. it was books everywere, the floor, the bed, the walls(I dont know) pinkie's head. ''give up Twilight! I dont think you will find enything. not about what he is doing here. I mean He said 'Im here to protect my family' so he want something With his Family. I thought that was Clear!'' Rarity said trotting around in the room. Rainbow thought to herself 'I am so going to hurt that pony.' her thoughts turned bloody. a world of pain, blood bath. Pinkie was helping Fluttershy. *knock, Knock* came from the door. Twilight got to the door, and opend it. she bearly had Magic again. the strange pony, as the apple father. stood in the door. he was not happy. everypony looked in shock. ''What are you going here?'' Rainbow spat at him angry. ''So you are supose to be Applejack's best buddy? huh... I Guess I have to talk to her again.'' he said plain simple. almost turning around and walk away. ''Sorry.'' She growled low. she hated him, HATED him. if she could she would buck him into next year. ''Heh... I just came to see if I sould let her see you. you may be a risk.'' he said, they could hear the Death talking, only in his voice. the took a step back, and he came inside. ''I am not going to hurt you.... yet'' he said studing each of them. ''enyway, I dont want to see eny of you on the farm or enywere near my children. you may- no I wont tell that much. but still. you dont want to end up as them ponies last night.'' ''what have you done!'' Rarity could't hold her anger enymore. A Mirror of the basement of the barn. the yellow unicorn coverd in blood hung from the wall. all of them screamed. ''what have you done to them?!'' now Twilight was yelling. ''I did't do it! I made them do it'' He pointed at the door as the Three siblings came inside. their eyes were lighter, and they looked lost. they under the spell. they sat Down beside each other. the father smiled looking how 'under control' they were. ''NO! Applejack would never kill! NEVER!'' Rainbow was angry. even more that Rarity and Twilight combined. she almost 'Sonic rainbomed him' ''what have you done to them?!'' Rarity, Twilight and Rainbow screamed out in anger. Pinkie (for once) and Fluttershy was sceard to be in this fight. ''none of you know?! Ha!'' he turned his head, using Magic to get Applejack's attion. ''you see Applejack? this is what Your friends really are!'' Applejack nodded. Applejack was in a Battle With herself. she began to grown, she closed her eyes. an Orange glow came from were her heart was. makeing everyone look closer. her eyes shot open. for a short moment they glowed in withe, and darkend to her normal emerald colour. again she was free from the spell again. ''huh..? she said, collapsing on the ground and putting her hoof to her head. ''Applejack, what did you do!?'' the Girls yeld. Twilight had to move fast. she used the remain of her Magic to lift Applejack away from her Family. ''wha-what happend?'' she looked at her friends. as Twilight sat her Down in the middle of them. ''h-how?! that sickness was supose to make you weak!'' the father road at them.'' Applejack come here now, or you will be punished.'' his eyes almost glowed in red. only from anger. Applejack stood up. even though she was weaker, and wanted to sleep she rememberd everything now.''NO! I know what you are doing here. and even if I miss you, and want you back. I dont want enypony harmed. And I remember what you made me do to Flim and Flam. and I dont want to kill, I stoped when I killed you!'' her voice was full of rage in the beginning, but died Down to sad sorrow in the end. everyone was taken back by the last part. ''What!? you killed Your own father?'' Rainbow asked placeing herself beside Applejack. ''I did, but I did't mean it. I was sceard, I left them to die by timberwolfs. I ran. I-I killed them.'' Applejack started to cry. the nightmare of a memory played before her eyes. this was hard. this was what she felt everyday since then. ''that is why I am here Applejack. I came to protect you, to make take the pain away. I wanted to be With my children one last time, or even forever.'' he said calm. trying to take her over again, but it did't work. the element was stronger when it was With the rest of the beares. ''but its wrong. pain is a part of life. you dont know what I want to give to have you and Ma back, but I can't. if to kill is the only way. then NO! then I rather live a sad truth, than a life full of blood and lies.'' Applejack's cheek was full of tears of sorrow, lost and sadness. she hoped dearly that this was going to stop him. ''plis... Understand Pa. I want you back, I just can't kill.'' she walked forword without thinking. but this did't stop him. he was going to have his children. by will or force. a flash appeard makeing every pony Close their eyes. the flash coverd him, Applejack Apple Bloom and Big Mac. the rest opened their eyes once the light died Down. ''Wha-Where... !!!!!!WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!'' Rainbow screamed angry. she was going to kill that pony. ''we have to find her. before...'' Twilight looked out the window. '' his plan start, or everyone is doomed.'' Rarity looked at the ground. Fluttershy and Pinkie stared crying. Rainbow flew around in the room in anger. ''where would he have taken them?'' Fluttershy Finally said something. but her voice was full of sorrow and sadness. the tought of losing her friend like that, was a nightmare. > chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack slowly opened her eyes as the light died Down. she looked around, not seeing enything only darkness. where was she? she placed her hoof infront of her. ther was a floor, but how? everything was dark, and she could still see her own hoof infront of her. ''H-Hallo?'' she ask out loud, but the only answer was her own voice in echo. she started to panic. her heart raced, her breath speed up. ''where am I?'' she called out, trying for an answer. then a sound came from the darkness, she could't find where it came from. but it was a sound of hoof steps. Applejack turned hr head in fear of where the sound came from. when she turned to the left she saw something move. ''S-Show youself! where am I?!'' she cried in fear. ''heh.... you was fast to Wake.'' said the voice. ''but dont' fear me, I am just here to help.'' the voice got a form, their father came out of the darkness. Applejack looked at him in anger, stepping back in fear. ''what are you doing here?'' she said angry at him. ''I am just here to tell you what I want from you. and you are going to listen!'' just when he finished. something shoot out of the darkness grabbing her left back hoof. she yelped. Three other Vines? shoot at her grabbing each of her hoof. the vines held her in Place. she tried to move, but til no use. ''you see, I can feel the pain in Your heart. you want me to stay, but I can not stay without a victim. and I need at least Three member of the Family to help. but you had to be the one to stop it. and for that, I have to punish you. I will not kill you, but I will make you understand.'' he moved closer to her. she gulped ''wh-what will you d-do?'' she dared to ask. the fear had overcome her. all she could feel was fear. ''I will punish you, I'm sorry.'' he had moved so Close he was just inches from her face. placeing a hoof on her cheek he liftet her face to meet his eyes. her eyes was full of fear and tears. ''dont cry, it wont hurt so much.'' Applejack felt tierd, but the feeling was replaced With pain. the pain came from her chest. she looked Down. the father had insert something. some blue Liquid, she felt all her strength leave her. ''sleep Jacky. it will hurt less.'' that was the last thing she heard before closeing her eyes. the father giggeld. ''take her to the room, there the element will be useless.'' he orderd as Mac and Bloom came into view. Mac got AJ on his back and walked out into the darkness. Apple Bloom remained by her fathers side. ''what will happend now?'' she asked looking up at him. ''the kill will be tonight. after tonight I cant leave, and Your sister wont be able to stop it.'' he said walking after where Mac went off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Applejack woke up stuck to the ground. vines holding her in a standing position. she looked around. something that looked like the inside of the barn, in the west field. to Applejack's left stood Apple Bloom, ready to whatever. to her right stood Mac Ready to do... the same. Applejack looked infront of her. a large stone table. ''wha-'' she was gagged by a vine before even finish the first word. the vine did't hurt, but she could't speak or breath with her mouth. she was breathing heavy from her nose. the vine was careful not to hurt her. the barn doors opend, not much. it gave a little light into the room. from the door came (guess who!) the father. this time, he was not alone. in the air over him was a sleeping Granny Smith. Applejack began to tear up. what would he do to Granny? ''Awake again!? huh... I'm guessing that you want to know what I will do to your grandma?'' Applejack could't speak, but she nodded. ''she have to die. simple. I needed all of you to do it, in the last try you freed yourself before I could finish. but now you are helpless. I'm sorry Applejack, but it had to be.'' Applejack groweld at him. right before she was taken by the spell. her eyes went light. the father smiled. the vines did't let go, just in case. he placed Granny Smith on the table and started the spell ''from the dead to the living, I give you a sacrefice. Granny smith, my mother-in-law. I have sworn to procect my childer. and nothing will hurt them enymore. Give me my life for this pony's.'' Granny smith began to glow. the life she have was beeing taken from her. she was beeing killed. that father watched as his mother-in-law died. he soul left her body. the old pony body. vanished into air. it was done. he was free from the dead. ''now, that I'm free from the dead. I will protect my children Forever.'' he said slowly looking over at them. > Chapter 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Bright green beam shoot out into the heaven. the beam crated a high sound makeing everypony in ponyville hold their ears. ''oh no... we are to late!'' Twilight screamed stoping in her tracks. the rest of the Girls stoped right behind her. ''what! what do you mean?!'' Rarity asked. ''we... are... to... late!'' Twilight Screamed all of the Girls was taken back by Twilight's snap.'' how can we stop him now?! all hope is-'' Twilight was cut off by the thought that might help. ''what if... we need to get back to the Library, NOW!'' they took off to the Library without questions. they ran Down the front door. Twilight did't even bother. she quickly liftet every book to her for a search. they looked in books for hours. ''Twilight what are we looking for again?'' Rarity asked putting a book Down. ''I-We are looking for smething that might help us With Applejack.'' ''From the Death to the living spell, and how to free-.'' Pinkie said randomly out, she was pushed away as Twlight took the book and began to read. ''here. the only way to free the pony or ponies, is to get a missing piece to help. but that dosen't make sence. who or what can be a missing piece in this Puzzle?'' Twilight said faceing the others to see if one of them had an idea. ''wha-what about their mother?'' fluttershy said low, not wanting to sound stupid. ''what was that fluttershy, do you have an idea?'' Rainbow said placeing herself beside her. ''Her mother...'' Fluttershy said again higher. ''thats a good idea, they have their father, the only piece is their mother. Fluttershy Your a genius.'' Twilight said happy. the five mares was on the graveyeard. for at least an hour, they looked over at each tomstone. not one was named Apple, or the mothers name. ''wait the Apples dont have Family here, they have them home somewere.''Pinkie bursted out. ''whay did't you say so?!'' they all said toward pinkie ''one: you did't ask. Two: it came to me now.'' ''Do you know were it is?'' Twilight asked. ''I do, I found Applejack sleeping under the biggest appletree in the Field. there was two tomestones to. I tried to ask about them, but she said 'no' I just though it might hurt her.'' Rainbow said. ''well lets move!'' Rainbow And Fluttershy was dragging a cart in the air. it would be faster and they could be more safe in the sky. they landed not far away from a huge appletree. under the tree was two tomestones. one named: Hard Cider Apple. and the other was named: Applejuice Apple. but on the tomestone With the name of Applejuice was a pony, or a spirit. she had a red coat, With Orange blond mane, her green eyes were filled With tears. she was chained to the tomestone, for whatever reason ''uh... hallo..'' Twilight said getting closer to the crying spirit. the spirit looked up at the five mares. ''may I help you?'' she said sobbing peacefully. ''well.... we are looking for Applejack's mother, do you know were we can find her.'' Fluttershy said. even if Rarity and Pinkie knew their father they never saw her mother, only once but that was a memory to far gone. ''Well that would be me. what is it?'' she said trying to stand up, but the Chain only dragging her Down. ''Applejack, Big Mac and Apple Bloom is in danger. and in my spell book, we have to find the missing piece, and that might be you.'' Twilight said they still stood some meters away. ''I know that I saw the beam. He killed my mother, but I know what to do. but I am stuck to the tome. Im sorry.'' they gasped, he killed Granny smith. ''I know a spell that might release you from the Chain.'' Twlight's horn glowed. not long after the Chain that held the pony fadet. ''thank you. we need to move.'' they all took off to the farm house. The father/ Hard Cider looked inside the barn, the Three ponies stood their, lost. he smiled and closed the barn. he locked it With a Lock, just in case Applejack's friends would come. ''Hallo, its been a wile!'' he heard from behind, the voice belonged to one of Applejacks friends. he quickly turned around to face the five mares. ''I told you to stay out of this!'' he screamed toward them. the five moved to the side showing tha Apple mother. tha father got a shock. ''how did you esca-'' he was cut off that a powerful unicorn stood there. ''Dear, you must stop. this is not you, you would never hurt, harm or kill enypony. what happend to you?'' Applejuice asked moveing toward him. ''I did it for them, they need me. come, I can bring you back to.'' he offerd her his hoof. but she quickly shoved it away. ''look what you have done, you killed my mother, you killed two ponies a worse you are keeping you own children as a weapon or an item to keep yourself alive. how could you?!'' '' as I said, I did i for them. they are safe now, and they will always b-'' ''NO!! this is wrong, life is full of pain. and they had come over it, but you just restarted th sorrow.'' ''Not all of them, Applejack's heart is full of pain, sorrow and lost. I cant leave her again like that, and she still balme herself for what happend to us.'' ''it was not her foult, she was Young, she could't have done something.'' ---------- Inside the barn was a fight. Applejack stood there listending to the fight outside. she closed her eyes. it was true, even if she blamed herself for the Death, what could she have done? she was a filly (at Apple bloom's age) but it was the past. she could not change the past. as she was thinking the vines that held her in Place began to move. ''wha..'' she whisperd as the vines moved letting her free. she smiled.walking toward Apple Bloom. ''Apple Bloom Wake up.'' she said low. to her Luck Apple Bloom woke up from the spell. ''Applejck? what happend?'' the little filly asked looking up at her. ''I guss somepony can tell later, right now we need to wake mac and get out of here.'' Applejack and Apple Bloom waked up to Mac. ''Mac? big Brother? Wake up.'' Applejack said low, her eyes was almost filled With tears, she hated to see her Family bound like this, Mac's eyes blinked, he woke up. ''hu... what happend? AJ, Apple Bloom?'' the sisters hugged their Brother before walking toward the door. ''what now, its locked.'' Apple Bloom said looking at her older siblings. they smiled, looked at each other. they turned around With their back hooves not far from the door. Applejack looked at Apple Bloom. ''Sis, we need Your help here.'' She said smiling to Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom always wanted to buck something, but she was to Young. Smiling she turned around just like AJ had. ''One'' Mac said, ''Two'' AJ said, ''Three!'' Apple Bloom yeld. and they busked the door. on first try, the door flew out of its frame, over Rainbow dash and a good while before it hit the ground. all ponies outside was shocked by the strangth of the siblings, Apple Bloom the most. she was Young. ''WHAT!!'' the father yeld. ''Mac, Applejack, Apple Bloom. Im so glad Your safe now.'' the mother cried. ''it wont last long.'' te father said as some green smoke come from the ground, covering the siblings. they all felt tierd. and collapsed on the gound. ''no more! I do not want to do this but I do!'' tha mother yeld at the father. then she jumped at him, killing him in one shot. soon after his spirit woke, andcame out of the body. but it was two spitis. one was the yellow body and red mane, With amber eyes. a the other was a dark shadow. ''leave you demon.'' the mother yeld at the shadow. as the shadow vanished, the yellow pony stood there. ''Im so sorry, I did't me-'' he was cut off by a hoof on his mouth. the mothe smiled. ''its okey, it was't you.'' ''but I hurt them, I killed you mother. Im terreble.'' he started to cry. the mother hugged him tight. ''it was not Your fault. and they will be fine. but try to protect them from heaven.'' ''I will try.'' just then the two ponies vanished. right before the ponys were gone the mother and father said. ''Thanks for the help, take care of are children would you?'' they looked at the Group of friends. everyone was paralized. but one answerd. Fluttershy nodded to the spirits before they vanished. The siblings woke up in the hospital. they had been asleep for some dayes. all of the familiy, friends had come to see them. but they were good. they would heal. and everything would be fine again. Mac was the first to wake up. the doctor asked him some questions, he could not recall everything that happend but he told him what he knew. the second to Wake up was Apple Bloom, the same thing happend to her. she got some questions, but she could't answer it all. it took Applejack one more day to Wake up. and the same thing happend whan she woke up, questions but she could anwser more than Mac and Bloom. the siblings were't aloud to get home yet, they had to stay for a mounth, just in case. but everything was over. it was not going to be one more kill. and the Apples could live the rest of their lifes in happieness. -The End
