Chapter 19: Truth To Be Told
Applejack's POV
"You are a princess, believe it or not. Princess Applejack Apple of Applelosa." My father said, bluntly.
"Wait what?! I'm a... princess?!?!?!" I exclaimed, standing up as fast as I can.
Me a princess? No way, I am NOT a princess or fitted for.
I was too shocked to process this. I am a country girl who helps her family out with their acre, barn, and do daily chores. And I really enjoying doing that.
So there's no way I am a princess. I'm not fit for a princess at all, or want to be.
That's just not me.
I am Applejack Apple, farmer, country girl, cowgirl, daughter and granddaughter, sister, girlfriend, and many other things. But never a princess.
I just realized that my father had been taking advantage of my title, and my money.
My siblings must be royal too.
"Why the hell did ya kept this as a secret?! The whole time when my family needed money, and you didn't even care to give some of it?! It's our money after all!?"
"Ya took advantage of us and made us struggle, and for what?"
"Richness?" I said, in anger.
"Well, good point, but why should I tell you when I hate my weak daughter?"
I growled.
Jeez, I honestly hate my father with my soul. I wish we would have a better relationship. But no, he is evil and always is. I just wish my mother would be here. She'd know what to do, and I need her, I really miss her.
"So you will need to be prepared and perfectly dressed. You will be married soon and after that you'll have three days to be here in life."
"After that, you'll be.. poof!"
"Are ya serious?! You're givin' me THREE days to live?"
"Wow, you're really heartless."
"What can I say? This guy chooses money over everything but hey, I am letting you live longer than you were supposed to." He said, eating beef.
"Money.. That is the reason for all of this? Money?!?" I shouted, my own father don't even have a good vein? Not even one?
"Yes, just accept it, my weak daughter of mine... Make sure to enjoy your last three days."
He looked up at me, smirking.
"Oh wait, my bad. You won't be able to enjoy anything since you will feel only one thing..... Pain.." He said, making a evil laugh, nodding to Katherine, it looks like they made a deal or something.
That's after when Katherine walked up to me, grabbing hold of me.
"Hey?! What are ya doin'? Don't touch me!!" I shouted.
"Goodbye, Applejack, enjoy the rest of your life in pain." My father said with a straight face.
"H-hold up, can I ask you something for the last time?" I said, catching my breath.
"..Ugh, go ahead, what is it?" He said.
"Let me guess.. So, my mother was a queen and you were just a normal guy. But later on, you killed her for the money and fame. And my little sister, Apple Bloom is a princess too... Big Mac is an Prince.." I said, making sense of the whole thing.
"That's right. Wow, you really are smart." He said, grinning.
I grunted, and I turned my head to make eye contact with Katherine, giving him a cold stare.
"Let go of me! I want to talk to my father, Katherine." I said.
Katherine looked at my father for approval and my father nodded. Katherine eventually let me go.
I took a seat that was facing the opposite direction from where my father is sitting.
"Why? Why would you kill my own mother just for that? Does money and fame really matters than love?" I asked, trying to make this clear.
Yes, my father is downright insane and evil. But he has to know that he is wrong for his actions. My father wasn't always evil.
I asked him that question even though I already knew the answer.
"That is a very good question.. Your mother.. She was a beautiful lady, too kindhearted for her own good. But all I can say is, sometimes you gotta let go of people you love." He said.
"She was really powerful and special too.. She could- Uh, anyways.. Does my answer satisfy you now?"
Powerful...?
What did my father mean, powerful?
Powerful in control, or..
Don't tell me..
Is it possible that my mother had magic powers?
Hehe, no.. What in the world am I thinking?
—
"Great, I'm satisfied. That's all I need, and stop callin' me Applejack. Just don't call me anything. And if ya go after Rarity or my family, I will seriously kill you. Thank you very much." I said, smiling and he cleared his throat.
"Acknowledged, daughter."
"Also, I know I won't stay here or die here. I have a feeling that my friends are comin' for me. For your information, I will never be a princess, so you will get no money, no marriage, and no anything. If I got home, I'm just a normal cowgirl girl, got it? Father."
"Oh, shut up, I'm getting everything what I wanted anyways. I'm not letting some kids ruin my plan." He said.
"Mhm.. Ya know, father? I was watching you the whole time when you talked about mom, answering my questions. I can identify that you really did love her. You aren't a really good liar, just like me." I said, smiling, because I totally got my father in a lie.
"..Shut up. No more questions, you can proceed to your room right now." My father said, making a raged face as Klaus nodded, grabbing me.
"Excuse you, I can walk myself, so move." I said, as Klaus scoffed.
He made a frown right after.
What is his deal? Why do I even want to know.? He made a sad face instead of a evil face. I just can't believe he listened to our conversation. That bastard.
I went to my "room". I sat, and got my hands cuffed again. Really, this is pointless, how can I get out of here anyways?
"You know, your father didn't tell you two things." Katherine said, standing behind the door.
"What is it?" I said, raising my head higher. I wanted to know everything, I don't want anything to be left out.
"Of course, I'm not going to tell you. I'm just going to give you more pain so get up." He said, coming in the room.
He pulled me, cuffing me with other kinds of cuffs that can hold me.
This is weird, for some reason, I feel weaker than the other cuffs I had on, how is it possible this cuffs make me weaker than usual?
I was forced to stand and be cuffed from the ceiling. God, can this guy be anymore evil?
While I was cuffed, Katherine took an electronic bat, and hit me with it many times.
Electricity was going through my body. It really hurt so much, that I screamed all the time.
But I swear I caught Katherine making a sad face while he was hurting me. When he realized he was seen, he looked away, that is not what guys would do.
Guys would enjoy hurting people but this guy is different.
"AHHHHH!!!" I moaned out, it hurt so much!
Five minutes later...
"Urghhh....." I mumbled, laying down, shaking and shivering like crazy.
"Why are you doin' this, p-please stop..." I whispered, moaning. I putted my hands on my stomach, crouching.
"Argh!!!!" I screamed.
I just kept screaming, groaning, moaning, and so many more.
The guy stood still, watching me. He looked so sad, finally, he turned around and exited the room.
I was starting to faint, this pain was starting to overcome me. My eyes wouldn't stay open. I can feel me still shivering.
Katherine was saying something but I couldn't make it out what he said, as I started to faint. I collapsed on the floor, electricity sparking off my body. I was feeling so sick and sucked out.
"I'm so sorry, Applejack, I'm terribly sorry, I have to do this. I just wish you didn't know me like this." Klaus whispered, standing listlessly before exiting the room.
——
One hour later....
Unknown's POV
"I'm going to find her!" I said, with determination.
"You can't. You don't even know where to go and it's too risky. Just let the police handle this." Twilight said, preventing me.
"I don't care about that. I will keep looking for her. I will not stop until I find my darling Applejack." I said.
Rarity's POV
I was in Twilights library at her house along with the girls. We were discussing about Applejack. Twilight was finding reasons to convince me to not look for Applejack.
Her plan will never work, I'm too set to find Applejack.
Applejack is my world, how can I not try to find her, what kind of a girlfriend am I if I don't.
It's killing me that I'm doing nothing.
So the girls and I are trying to convince Twilight..
"I won't be going alone anyways, I got you girls. We can do this. Please, Twilight... I can't lose her again.." I whispered, about to break down.
"Let's be honest here, Twilight. Do YOU think the police would find her?" Rainbow said, raising her voice.
"Twily, I think they're right. Come on, Applejack is our best friend. If there is a way to save her, we have to do it. My hunches say so." Pinkie said, holding Twilight's hands with seriousness.
"Y-yes, I agree with them. Just imagine this, Twilight. If Dashie went missing, I would do anything to find her. Rarity just want to find Applejack and make sure she's safe."
"Applejack is our best friend, this group will be lost without her. Remember, friendship is magic." Fluttershy said, showing anger and passion.
Wow, I never expect this girl to bring the anger out of her. She did good, though.
Twilight was biting her lips, playing around with the pencil in her hands.
We all stared at her waiting for her final answer.
"...Ugh. You girls are so hard to say no to. You're right though, Applejack IS our best friend."
"So... Fine, but we definitely are going to need something to protect us. Like what if we are facing a dangerous enemy." Twilight said, sighing in defeat.
"Yes!!!" We all shouted in unison, and Twilight rolled her eyes in result.
We were so glad that Twilight is on our side now.
"I knew you'd make the right decision, silly!" Pinkie smiled, pinching Twilights cheeks.
"Hey, stop it now, Pinkie. Whatever.. You're even harder to say no to." Twilight pouted, looking over the other side.
Cute!!
I thought as I chuckled.
Twilight walked over to the other side of the library.
She was thinking of something, I can tell.
Plans, I assume.
"Eureka! I think I know what to do."
"I know it is going to sound crazy, but I think I can create magic powers for us to use but only for a limited time!" Twilight chuckled.
"Magic powers!!" Twilight yelled, excitedly like she's proud that she thought of this idea.
We stood motionless, staring at Twilight like she's mad.
Seriously, Twilight? What is this girl thinking?!
We just started to ask questions and Twilight answers them like it's nothing.
"Magic powers?!" I said.
"Yes. Magic powers for real." Twilight replied.
"Can you even make those magic powers, darling? Wouldn't it be very hard?" I asked again.
"Don't worry about that, Rarity. I'm a genius, right? I can do this, I've been studying this for a while."
"A-are you sure, Twilight? How long will those powers last? Is it safe?" Fluttershy said, with hesitation.
"Yes, Flutters. Trust me, it'll go well. It will last about 24 hours. It is safe, but we just have to learn how to control it." Twilight said.
Twilight looked over to Pinkie waiting to see if she has any questions.
Pinkie stared at her, giggling.
"I don't have any questions, Twily. I believe in you. You are the most smartest girl I ever knew. So, do it, silly! Let's save our best friend!" Pinkie said.
"Aww!" Fluttershy and I said. Rainbow just laughed.
Twilight blushed so hard that her whole face was red, she went over to Pinkie and kissed on her forehead, whispering, "Thank you.. With you by my side, how can I ever fail?"
Pinkie sweetly smiled, I could see blushes being formed on her cheeks.
"...BUT! I have to ask.. Will my power include sprinkles and party cannons?!
"Maybe.." Twilight giggled, holding her hands.
Seriously, Pinkie and Twilight are so madly in love with each other. They're too adorable!
Pinkie Pie has been a great emotional support system for Twilight, and she motivates her too.
"Rainbow?" Twilight asked, waiting to see if she has a question for her.
"Ok, so.. We were planning to go today.. Can you even finish creating.. magic.. powers today?" Rainbow said, raising her eyebrows in doubt.
"I'm serious about this, Rainbow. But, well..." Twilight began.
"It actually might take a day or two, so is it okay if we go tomorrow or the day after that?" Twilight nervously said, making me a little angry.
"WAIT WHAT?!?" Some of us shouted, making Twilight jump a little.
"Yes. I rather to take time to do this than going with nothing or we jeopardize Applejacks safety, and ours. We can't ever underestimate anyone." Twilight said, with facts spoken.
"True..." We all said in unison.
"Okay, fine.. But darling, please hurry. I don't want to arrive there and see.. Applejack dead." I said, looking away.
The thought of Applejack being dead slowly kills me everywhere, I can't bear the thought of that.
"Don't worry, Rarity. We won't let her die! We will catch her way before that!" Rainbow shouted.
"Yeah! Twilight can do this, we can do this!" Pinkie shouted, joining the cheer.
"They are right! We can do this!" Fluttershy actually raised her voice, spreading hope.
"Rarity, Rainbow is right, this will help us so much, and it won't even feel like days, then we can rescue Applejack!" Twilight said, smiling.
"Okay." I said, smiling in relief and comfort.
We started to walk to each other into a circle with the five of us.
All of our hands were overlapping each other's hands, layer after layer.
"To save Applejack! And for our friendship!" Pinkie shouted.
"To Applejack! Let's bring her back home!"
We cheered, and we let our hands go up in the air.
"Yes, alright then. I'm off to studying. Let's make magic powers!" Twilight said, smiling.
"We will help you, Twilight!" Fluttershy said, smiling excitedly. Suddenly, she was in a maid outfit.
The second Rainbow saw Fluttershy, she got a nose bleed.
"F-fuck Shy, it is not like we are cleaning the house! We are not maids! We are saving our best friend." Rainbow said, trying to stick with reality. She was about to lose it.
Her face was full of red, causing me to chuckle.
"I know that, Dashie!" Fluttershy said, blushing, and she winked at Dash.
"But then.. why a maid outfit?" Rainbow said, still embarrassed.
"Well because, I can." Fluttershy said whispering, she put her mop on Rainbow and pretended to clean some dust off her.
"Wow.. Hilarious!" Rainbow said in sarcasm, scoffing.
She knew Fluttershy was wearing it on purpose or to turn her on.
I laughed at the whole thing but is that really the time to do that? We are in middle of a meeting.
"Uh...? Anyways, let's get to work!" Twilight shouted and we cheered.
We helped Twilight to study specific outfits, and obviously I greatly helped her in that area. Since, I'm a skilled fashion designer. Twilight asked us for what kind of costumes we prefer.
While I watched my friends joking with each other, laughing in enjoyment, and helping each other. We are doing all of this for Applejack and us.
My mind was on something else.
Please, Applejack, just come back to me.... Just don't you worry, we are coming to get you, darling. I love you so much.
I know that Applejack is still alive. I can feel it in my heart and bones. I took my hand out and put it on my chest. I can't help but smile with hope.
So, how was it? Now you know who the unknown person is, Rarity! Yes, Applejack is actually a princess. Not expecting this? I was trying to think of something original and unexpected. As I recalled this story do have magic.
