A/N NEW STORY GUYS! I got the idea of the starting line of this story when some gun shots went off near my house and then when drawing thought up a general idea for a beginning storyline! I hope my readers enjoy this! (I have readers right?) 0_0
Three gunshots rang out though the valley, followed by yelling and more gunshots. Applejack's eyes flew open and she jumped up to figure out what was going on. Beside her Rainbow Dash woke up slowly. Applejack grabbed her gun and ran to wake up Big Mac and Applebloom with Rainbow following her quietly. She shook her big brother awake and then ran into her little sister's room and ushered her into the basement.
"Stay put Applebloom, okay?" then turning to Rainbow, "Look, Ah' know ya'll will want to fight and all, but please stay with Applebloom," Rainbow silently nodded and then just hugged Applejack. Applejack was near tears leaving her little sister alone in a dark cellar with her marefriend during something as big as this, but she had to stay strong for Applebloom and Rainbow's sake, or so she told herself. She knew that it was partially for her own confidence and security though.
Applebloom rubbed her eyes and said, "What's goin' on Applejack?"
"Ah' don't know, honey, just stay put and if anyone comes down here do what Rainbow says. Ahll be back as soon as ah can!" She ran out of the room terrified for Applebloom's safety, but had to defend her family at all costs. She ran upstairs and she and Big Mac ran outside into the early morning air with their guns in hand.
** A Month Earlier **
Applejack was sleeping late for once, when she felt something nudge her side and something wet splash on her back.
"Applejack! Applejack!" the anguished voice of her sister was enough to jar her out of her sleep.
"Applebloom, what's wrong honey?" Applejack was confused as to of why her little sister had awoken her on her one day off of the month.
"G-granny," it was all little Applebloom could choke out before she started bawling and collapsed hugging her big sister as if her life depended on it. By then, Applejack was terrified. Nothing got Applebloom that upset. She walked downstairs and saw Big Mac sitting at the table with his head in his hooves silently crying. Applejack suddenly pieced together what had happened and all four of her legs gave out as she crashed to the floor. Big Mac looked up and walked over to her and just lay down next to and Applebloom (Who had been pretty much clinging to AJ) and barely whispered, "She had a heart attack in her sleep AJ, she's gone," with as quiet as he said it and how it was racked with his sobs, a normal person wouldn't have understood it, but AJ knew as soon as the words escaped her brother's mouth. Hearing those words just made her sob louder.
Suddenly, Applejack's eye's opened again.
"Rainbow?" She rolled over in bed and looked for her marefriend, still crying from the nightmare.
"I'm here AJ, was it the dream again?" Rainbow pulled AJ's head onto her stomach and stroked her mane, "It's okay Applejack, remember, just a dream."
"Ah' know Rainbow, it's just…," she started crying again just at the memory of the dream. She knew it was all just an illusion, but it felt so real each time, "Let's just go get some food okay?" She hated it when she cried around Rainbow because it always tore Rainbow's heart out to see AJ sad.
Rainbow leaned down and kissed Applejack and then they got up and walked downstairs to see Applejack's nightmares unfolding before them.
A/N Okay, I know it was confusing, it was supposed to be. And no, I wasn't using wrong terminology in the first part when I said hands XD. I will start writing the next chapter immediately!
