I'm glad you enjoy this fic so here is the next chappie it might be a bit short but the next chappie will be a little longer.


The bear swiped its mighty paw towards her as Reese felt her body tense thinking she would be filled with fear instead she felt a spark within her one she had never felt before as her horn lit up brightly a soft blue hue stopping the paw in its tracks.

The creƤture growled confused as blue energy held its paw in place Reese quickly snapped out of her almost dream like state before a soft scream escaped her lips as she jumped back., just as the bear broke free and swiped at her position.

Reese stumbled backwards shivering as the Bear came forward ready to pounce only for a large green vine to quickly come up from behind it as AJ wrapped it around its neck tightly.

" Yehaww! " AJ screamed aloud as she pounced atop the large bears back and rode atop it as it began to thrash about AJ held the vine in her mouth to keep her balance as she tried to tire out the beast.

Reese watched in awe as AJ's golden mane flowed in the wind of danger as her green eyes burned like coals ready for anything in the world most of all adventure.

Soft sobbing could be heard behind Reese as she turned around looking to Dinky who was crying alone on the path ears folded down in shame as her eyes looked to the mare they always made fun of.

Reese tried to say something to calm the filly only to be cut off as Dinky looked to her with tears flowing down her cheeks.

" I'm sorry!." She cried aloud before finally galloping off at top speed away from the filly who stood there in silence never had anypony every apologized to her it felt odd.

AJ held on tight to the bear as it finally started to slow down., she took this opening to quickly jump off the monster and give it a swift hind kick to the front as it yelped aloud backing up slowly.

" Now git!., or do I have to make a coat out of you critter. " AJ gave a deep narrowing gaze to the bear as it slowly backed up before running off into the woods frightened.

Reese giggled aloud running over to the Copper colored mare in awe her eyes sparkling like bright stars.

" That was amazing! " Reese giggled as she looked up to the mare who simply just fixed her mane softly.

" Awww shucks that was nothing really all in a days work." AJ spoke in her most modest of tones as she smiled down to the small filly before her knowing this kid had a rough time.

" How about we put this all behind us and go get some food at my place you look skinner than a fence post? " AJ smiled as she kneeled down to the small pony who quickly looked away.

" Um I don't want to intrude..." She trailed off before the mare quickly scooped her up placing her back on her backside as she giggled.

" Hogwash the Apple family is always open to sharin' the home when it is needed c'mon kid let's get goin." AJ spoke in a stern but friendly manner as Reese couldn't find any reason to turn down so she simply nodded hoping things would be ok.


" So tell me where do you live out in those woods? " AJ asked in a concerned manner as she was standing beside an old wooden stove cooking up some Apple fritters for their guest.

Reese kept silent for a bit slowly chewing on a red apple on her plate taking her time eating it had been a few days since she had done so and wanted to savior it.

Applebloom a yellow filly about her age just gazed at her in wonder her fiery red mane frazzled out messily filled with hay from playing outside.

" Um., just around the old oaks..." Reese spoke in barely a whisper as Applebloom shot her an odd look.

" I know those woods like the back of my hoof and no one lives around the old oaks its..." Applebloom started in as AJ shot her little sister a stern look.

" I know for a fact you don't know those woods like that cause I always tell you not to be playing out there its dangerous." AJ narrowed her eyes at the filly who just sheepishly giggled.

" Oh!., did I say I knew the woods I meant my friends older sisters brother did..." Applebloom gave an innocent smile to AJ causing Reese to giggle aloud.

" Now really darling I know this might be a little rude to ask and I apologize but are you livin' in those old woods all alone? " AJ asked the filly as she placed a plate of Apple fritters before her nudging her along to eat.

Reese felt her heart sink as those words escaped AJ's mouth she wanted to tell her yes but felt ashamed too she didn't want to be a pity case to this young mare.

" I...I need to go thank you for the food." Reese quickly spoke in a flustered tone as she grabbed one last apple off the table in her mouth gently.

" But you hardly touched anything? " Applebloom spoke in a confused tone as Reese felt her heart racing she quickly did what she was used to doing shooting out of her seat and dashing for the open back door.

AJ looked confused as she tried to follow the Filly not having to run far as Reese herself ran smack into a tower of a red stallion as he gazed down to the petite filly blinking slowly.

Reese dropped the apple from her mouth scared as she felt a hoof on her shoulder turning around seeing AJ giving her a stern but worried stare.

" What was that all about? " AJ asked eyes narrowing slowly like daggers digging into her soul.

Reese gazed down heart fluttering in her chest as tears welled up in her eyes she gazed up to the copper mare as she looked down in shame.

Her running was over she knew it was time to face the past she so wanted to escape.
