Black magic woman (Bad story)

>You are Applejack an somthin aint right in p0nyville

>As you walk through town you think back on all the strangeness that has been goin on

>Its like some sorta darkness had descended across the town.

>Fillies and foals havin nightmares that they cant remember

>The leaves on the trees have started turnin a sickly yella color and it aint even fall yet.

>All around town ponies have been jumpy and irritable. Others have suddenly become silent and grim doing their daily chores in wooden fashion.

>Some ponies have even been waking up on the edge of the Everfree Forest with no memory of goin there

>Yep somethin is goin on. And you bet your last bit that it is because of A-

>"Good morning Applejack!" a cheerful voice rings from behind you.

>Anger crosses your face before you bring it under control

"Mornin'."

>Speak of the moon and she will appear. Standing before you is Anonymous or "Anny" as she likes to be called.

>"What brings you into town today? Usually it is Big Mac's turn to work the apple stand."

>The anger rises up in your belly.

"Yep."

>You keep walking and hope she gets the message that you don't want to talk to her especially not about Big Mac.

>"Oh so are you working for him today?"

"Nope"

>"So does that mean he is working the stand today?"

"Nope."

>"Are you going to say more than one syllable words to me?"

>Stopping for the first time you turn and give her a glare

"Nope."

>"OK then..." she says sadly before walking away.

>A nearby mare gives you a dirty look. You ignore it. She may have everyp0ny else fooled but you know Anny is causing all this mess.

>All of this started after Anny arrived. Sure she is nice and helpful to everyp0ny in town but that aint no coincidence.

>Ya finally arrive at Twilight's house. Ya bang yer hoof on the door.

"Twi open up. We need ta have a talk."

>After a few moments the door opens revealing a messy looking Twilight.

>"Applejack? What do you want?" She says irritably.

"Twi ah know who is behind all this strangeness that has been goin on. WE need ta do somethin."

>"Applejack not this again. Anny is not doing anything wrong. Why are you so hung up on this?"

>You push your way past her and sit on the couch. She growls at you before closing the door and sitting in a chair across from you

>Books scattered across the room in large piles tell you that you have interrupted her reshelving

"Last night Big Mac was s'posed to help us with the apple barrels. He never came home last night. We was gonna look for him this morning figurin he went drinkin again. We found him passed out on the porch this mornin with cuts all over his back. When he woke up he said Anny had needed help moving somethin so he went with her. He remembers leaving her place but nothin after that."

>She listens intently to your story before quietly getting up and walking to her kitchen. You hear the teapot clunk as she sets it on the stove before coming back

>"Applejack I think I know what is going on with the strangeness. I have been looking into it since spike started acting weird as well. I think p0nyville is starting to become like the Everfree Forest."

"What now?"

>"Do you know why the forest is like it is? Chaos magic. That was the battleground where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna fought discord the first time. I suspect that the fight infused the very ground there with so much chaos magic that even today we cannot control it. Now think about it. We fought and sealed Discord away in this very town."

"Fine but if this is all because of that then why is it just now happening?"

>"I am not sure. I was thinking that it might be that Discord returning here released enough chaos magic to get the transformation to start."

"An maybe it is because ANNY showed up!"

>"GAH! AJ you are overreacting! Its just your imagination! Now stop acting like you did with Zecora. Just...just GET OUT! I cant deal with this now. I have to go back to trying to find a way to revers this."

>Twilight picks you up and tosses you out of her house with magic before slamming the door behind you.

"AH AM NOT OVERREACTIN! IT'S NOT MY IMAGINATION!"

>Your yell is ignored so buck a rock at her house in frustration. You are not imagining this. Anny is the villain behind all this.

>As Twilight's words go through your head again something rings through your mind. ZECORA! She always knows about this hocus pocus stuff. She will believe you.

 

>An hour later and you are staring at what remains of Zecora's hut.

>Pieces of wood and broken glass litter the ground around the shattered tree

>It looks like some sort of explosion ripped the tree apart.

>You quickly run inside and begin looking for Zecora.

>Among the shattered pieces of furniture are the remains of her cauldron which is splayed open in different pieces.

>Other than what to appear to be a few bloodstains on the walls there is no sign of the zebra anywhere.

 

>The sun has and the moon began its rise by the time you had raced to p0nyville.

>Not one more p0ny shall suffer because of her.

>As you reach the town you begin yelling to everyp0ny telling them to head to the town hall

>After you make a second circuit through the town you finally arrive back at town hall

>P0nies mill about in confusion as you ascend the stage

"Everyp0ny! I know why all the strange things are going on around town! I know why you and your foals cant sleep! I know why some of us have woken at the forests edge!"

>The other ponies whisper amongst themselves as you look across the group. The town guards shift uncomfortably as your gaze passes them.

"IT IS BECAUSE OF ANNY!" >a few gasps ring out across the crowd [spoiler][/spoiler]"SHE caused all this. None of this started ta happen until SHE arrived. An none of ya will be happy again until she is ran outta our town."

>Echos of approval go through the audience

>Suddenly a stallion runs on the stage and screams "SHE IS RIGHT! LETS GET THAT FREAK BEFORE SHE TAKES OUR CHILDREN!"

>The mob of ponies disperses for a few minutes before the streets are once more filled but this time they are armed with torches and weapons pilfered from their homes

>Then slowly they begin the trek to Anny's cabin on the edge of town.

>You had not been here since shortly after she had arrived and your surprise was palpable

>Instead of the modest cabin you remember a large whitewashed house sits before you. Trees you dont remember block sight of the large house.

>Out front two stallions are digging a hole by the moonlight. They stop and watch the group blankly as it mills outside of the gate

>Rushing to the front of the mob you motion for the guards to follow you.

"ANNY COME OUT RIGHT NO-"

>Before you can even finish the doors swing open accompanied by a wind that smelled of cherries and roses

>Standing there in a white skirt is Anny with a smile on her face.

>"What can I do for you Applejack?"

"Ya can come with us without a fight. We are gonna run ya outta town."

>"Now why would you want to do something like that? What have I done to deserve being ran out of my home?"

"What have ya done? Ya have ruined all our lives. We are tired and and nervous because of the curse ya have layed upon our town."

>She laughs at you. Not the tittering giggle you are used to hearing from her. No this was a deeper throaty laugh that didnt seem to fit her at all.

>"Oh Applejack if only you had decided to play along like your friends and family."

"What are ya talkin abo-"

>Something slams into you from your left throwing you to the ground

>You look to see what hit you as you scramble to your feet.

"Mac? But why whould ya help her? I'M YOUR SISTER DARN IT!"

>Big Mac looks at you with disinterest "Eenope"

>Cold metal meets your legs as shackles are cuffed around them.

"Other than Zecora you are the only one who did not fall under my sway. Too bad I rather liked you."

>Anny walks over and places a hand on Big Mac's flank causing him to turn and give her a look of affection

"Bye Applejack. Too bad you never gave into the magic of friendship."

>You look back at the crowd of ponies who begin to laugh. Horns from the crowd light up in various colors as you are lifted up and placed into a coffin.

"NO PLEASE! WHY ARE Y'ALL DOIN THIS?"

>The lid closes as you shoot a final look of desperation your brother who is smiling as Anny strokes his ear

>The sound of nails being driven into the wood causes you to to start fighting the chains that have you bound hoof to hoof

>With a bang your wooden tomb is thrown unceremoniously into the hole

>You struggle and scream as you hear the scrape and thud of dirt being shoveled onto your wooden tomb

>After struggling for a few minutes you lay there crying awaiting your fate.

>Today was your final day in Equestria
