Chapter 3 - Solo Project

 Apple Jack sits on her bed watching the morning rays shine into her bedroom, recalling the events of yesterday. The morning rooster crows and Apple Jack dashes down the stairs, excited to get her day started, crashing into Big Mac who is on his way out the door. 

"Are you leavin' Big Mac?" Apple jack asks. " Are you goin' to deliver some..."

Big Mac answers " Eeeyup!" Already knowing what she was going to ask. Just then Apple Bloom walks in with a big yawn escaping her mouth. 

"Good mornin' yall !" Apple blossom notices Big Mac all packed up and standing at the front door " Awwwwh your leaving again already, Big Mac?" The small filly goes over and hugs on her older brothers arm. "It seems your always gone on these deliveries" Apple bloom sniffles. 

Apple jack puts her hoof on her little sisters back, who is still attached to Big Mac. "It'll be okay, Sugarcube! He'll be back soon enough. This is just what it takes to run this farm. " Apple Jack then pulls in her siblings for a hug and kisses Apple Bloom on the forehead. " And besides, One day you'll be old enough to help! So maybe we wont be gone so much since you'll be taking a load off us!" Apple Jack chuckles. 

Big Mac says goodbye to the girls and heads off out the front door to deliver the Apple farm specialty goods. The girls head into the kitchen eager for whatever Granny Smith had made this morning. Apple Jack sat at the table with her sister while Granny Smith sat down a pot of gravy and a tray of biscuits. 

"Wow Granny! This looks just deeeeelicious!" Apple jack exclaimed, filling her bowl.

" Sure does, Granny! I'm gonna think about this all day!" Followed Apple Bloom already stuffing a biscuit in her mouth. The three ponies gobbled down their breakfast like there was no tomorrow. 

"Oh my" belches Apple Jack, holding her stomach. " I'm ready for whatever the day brings on today! Speakin' of today... What are you doin' today Apple Bloom?" 

Apple Bloom grows slightly anxious and starts quietly muttering. 

" I'm sorry, Sugarcube, I can't hear ya!" Apple Jack nudges her sister. Apple bloom pushes her sisters arm away.

"I'm goin' to see Pinkie Pie again!" Apple Bloom shouts, quickly covering her mouth. " We were just gonna bake some more!" Apple bloom glances from side to side and taps her hooves together. " And... and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were gonna be there!"

Apple Jack notices her little sisters squeamish movements and has flashbacks to Lavender Haze's body, cut open, organs hanging outside her body as their being pulled out one by one, all during her constant wiggling which only ended up causing her more pain. Apple Jack flashes back to current moment a little whirlwind and quite possibly turned on. She covers her mouth to try to hide some of her blushing. " Well as long as yall are bein' careful. You gotta remember there are ponies bein kidnapped around here." 

Apple Bloom giggled. " I knoooow, Apple Jack! Don't worry about it I'll be perfectly fine! Anyway I gotta get to school!" Before Apple Bloom could hurry and run off from the table she was grabbed by her sister. 

" You be safe gettin' to school and Pinkie Pie's, but I'll come and get you from there this evenin'. Don't you leave there until I come and get you. It's not safe out there at night. " Apple Jack insisted. She let her sister go and the filly quickly ran out the door, sweating dripping down her face. Apple Jack walked into the living room to find Granny Smith mending some quilts while also seemingly falling asleep. 

"Well hey Granny! You look tired!" Apple Jack exclaimed, startling Granny Smith fully awake. 

"Oh my! Oh dear, My you startled me." Granny smith says squinting at Apple Jack. " Now what did you say?" 

Apple jack rolled her eyes. " I said, you look tired, Granny." She walked over and sat in the floor next to Granny Smith's chair. 

" Well I am quite tired. I was up late doin' chores around the lower farms and such." Granny coos as she affixes the quilt in her lap. " Its such hard work around here, I really am glad your here helpin' out now." 

Apple Jack scoots closer and taps her hooves on the ground excitedly. " So what are we goin' to be doin today? Are we gonna harvest another pony? "

Granny Smith taps her chin. " Well I reckon we could prepare the next shipment, that way when Big Mac gets back he wouldn't have to worry about gettin' it ready and he can just go ahead and get some rest." Granny Smith sets aside her quilt and gets out her chair. She walks over to a small cupboard on the wall and takes out a big key ring with multiple keys on it. She then walks into the kitchen.

Apple jack follows her into the kitchen feeling anxious. " Uhm Granny? " She starts. "Do you think maybe i could handle this? Since you look pretty darn tired and all. Plus you've been working so hard Granny, you deserve some rest. 

Granny turns back and looks at Apple Jack pondering the the idea. " Well I'm not too sure.." She trails off leaving Apple Jack to interject " I promise Granny. I got this!! You showed me what to do yesterday and I promise I won't cause a panic for the other ponies." Apple Jack pleaded. 

"Oh all right." Granny Smith said, tilting her head to both sides and handing Apple Jack the key ring. "Now this key is for the first door and this key" She says holding up and big iron key. " this key is the key for the big steel door at the end of the hall. "

Apple jack familiarizers herself with the keys she'd be needing, but she couldn't help but ask "What about all these other keys?" 

" Now don't you worry about all those, go on now and get to work" Granny spat out and shooed Apple Jack into the side house, slamming the door behind her. Apple Jack thought to herself, "Granny Smith must surely be hiding more than just this, But what else could there be than just this?" Apple Jack pushed aside the shelf in front of the door. She then unlocked the door and started her journey down the long, dark hallway. Once she reached the heavy steel door she stopped. Staring at the door she thought, " Ok AJ here we go. You got this. This is gonna be one of the best days ever. It's only gonna get more fun from here." She then unlocked the door and stepped into The Hole. Making sure to lock the door behind her Apple Jack marveled all around at the prison her family had made for these trapped ponies . She then started to trot around, feeling the gaze of the ponies as she went. She looked upon their hopeless faces wondering who she should approach. She continued to trot around as the sun shone down onto the land. She stopped and checked the crops of the small farms, albeit they weren't doing too well. She then noticed a Magenta colored pony with shining silver hair. 

Apple Jack walked up to the pony. " Howdy there! How're you doin?" She said smiling her best smile, which only creeped out the Magenta pony. 

"What's your name?" Apple Jack tried only getting a mumble out of the pony. " I'm sorry, I couldn't hear ya." She said digging her hoof into the dirt, looking back at all the enslaved ponies who were staring at the two. Apple Jack seen a bit of jealousy in their eyes.

"My name is Silver Sugar." Said the pony quietly, as she also gazed upon her peers.

" Well Silver Sugar! It's your lucky day! You're gettin outta here! Doesn't that sound nice?" Apple Jack exclaimed to Silver Sugar whose ears perked up.

"I get to leave? You're letting me out?" She asked excitedly. 

"Yep! Its your turn to go!" Apple Jack started to walk. " Follow me on your journey out of this dull ol' Hole!!" Apple Jack giggled. 

Silver Sugar followed Apple Jack who walked toward the shed. She took one last look at all the ponies she'd be imprisoned with. She could only wonder what would happen to them. As the pair stepped into the shed. Silver Sugar looked around the shed seeing there was no door out except the one they came in. Apple Jack locked the door and grabbed a baseball bat that was setting in the corner of the room.

"When do I get to leave?" Silver Sugar started before seeing Apple Jack swing the bat at her. " WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She shouted before Apple Jack was able to hit her on the head knocking her out. Apple Jack wiped the sweat of her forehead and exhaled. 

"Phwoo that was almost bad." She chuckled tossing the bat to the side. Apple Jack pulled the pony onto the table, locking her in and moving on to the removing her larynx. As Apple Jack waited for her to wake up she arranged the tools she was going to use on a table. Her mind filling up with twisted ideas as she toyed with them. Suddenly Apple Jack heard some rustling and knew her victim was awake. It was time to bring those twisted ideas to fruition. 

Apple Jack turned around and greeted the now awake Silver Sugar. " Howdy! I'm so glad your awake!" She smiled and watch as Silver Sugar started to struggle in her binds. The pony tried to speak to no avail. She tried and tried to scream for no sound to come out, blood spurting out from her neck wound from the stress. She then started to cry from the pain from her throat and neck and from the realization that she would soon be dead. 

" Don't stress yourself out too much there, that's what I'm 'sposed to be doin'!" Apple Jack chuckled while playing with Silver Sugar's long mane as she began to struggle in her binds again. " Don't try too hard, you'll hurt yourself!" Apple Jack exclaimed sympathetically . " But it probably won't hurt as much as what I'm gonna do to ya!" Apple Jack laughed. 

Silver Sugar stopped moving as harsh, probably already exhausted from the energy she's used. Apple Jack wipes sweat off Silver Sugar's forehead looking into her fear ridden eyes with a loving expression. Apple Jack turned around and grabbed her first tool of choice of the table. It was a hacksaw. Once Silver Sugar seen this she was back to struggling fear radiating off of every inch of her body and clear panic in her face. Apple Jack stuck the hacksaw right through the middle of the magenta pony's thigh pushing it in until she hit bone. The pony's face was so wet from tears at this point it was like somepony had dumped a bucket of water on her face. Apple Jack played with the flesh around the saw watching Silver Sugars face wince in pain and her feeble attempts to scream for help. 

" I spose you might be wondering why your here. Why you were kidnapped and dumped in this Hole." Apple Jack said, dragging an empty bucket towards the table. " I bet you'd like to know. Hmm? Would you?" She asked searching the pony's face for an answer. She began to saw at the pony's leg, through the bone, and eventually until it was entirely severed from Silver Sugar's body. She then holds up the severed leg in front of Silver Sugar. 

"You see this here? " She waves the leg, blood dripping on the magenta pony's chest. " This here is valuable product. " She drops the leg to the floor and she then runs her hoof all down the pony's body in a sensual manner. " All of this here is very valuable product." 

Apple Jack grabbed a scalpel from the table behind her and turned back at Silver Sugar once again. Who once again was crying, tears streaming down her face. Apple Jack caresses the tool down Silver Sugar's face, leaving a cut on her cheek. She brings the tool down, sliding it across her body almost producing a ticklish feeling that caused Silver Sugar to wiggle. Apple Jack then quickly cut from her stomach to her chest, causing blood to splash across her face and exposing the magenta pony's insides to the air. Apple Jack inhaled the fresh smell of blood exiting from her warm body. She dug her hoof into the pit of organs that lay in front of her and sloshed around watching Silver Sugars eyes roll to the back of her head as she writhed in pain. Apple Jack then gently pulled out some of her intestines. 

"These here, these will go to out pigs! It's better than throwing it out and they really seem to like it! We save the good stuff for our paying customers." Apple Jack winked at Silver Sugar, yanking out the whole intestine. She then tossed the rope like organ across Silver Sugar's face. She walked behind her head and then wrapping the intestines around the pony's neck. She strengthened her grip and started to pull, effecting choking the pony with her own intestines. Apple Jack watched her writhe in pain and gasp for air for a few seconds before releasing and letting the organ hang at her neck. 

" You make the cutest faces." Apple Jack giggled. " So cute I could just sell you off to get eaten!" 

Apple Jack pulled out a few more organs before noticing Silver Sugar's eyes start to droop. Tossing organs into the bucket she said, " Well it seems our time has come to an end, now i gotta cut you up and prepare you for shipment and into happy customers bellies! Every creature has got to eat." As Silver Sugar's vision started to fade the last thing she sees is Apple Jack loving gaze with blood all across her face. Apple Jack finished hollowing out the magenta pony's body pushing the bucket of organs toward the door. She then began the process of dismembering the limbs and head from the torso, throwing the head to the floor. She laid all of the legs on the table next to the tools. 

After she had skinned the pony, pulled the meat of the bones, and carefully weighed, measured and packed up copious amounts of pony meat, she looked around the shed. Which was covered with blood. 

"Well this is just great!" She sighed as she started to clean up the mess and herself. 

When Apple Jack was finally done and had returned home it was already late afternoon. She walks outside with the bucket of organs dumping them into the pig's trough, calling them to come eat. Granny Smith came outside and trotted up to Apple Jack placing a hoof on her shoulder. 

"It's been awhile Apple Jack, dear. I've been worried something happened." Granny Smith said. 

"Oh, I'm sorry Granny, I was just making sure to take my time to get the job done right." Apple Jack exclaimed proudly. 

Granny smith smiled tenderly. " Well I truly do appreciate your help. It really is gonna make things run smoother 'round here. " 

" Of course, Granny. I'm gonna wash up and head to Pinkie's to go pick up Apple Bloom, But we'll be back for supper!" Apple Jack said to Granny Smith who was heading back inside to start preparing said supper. 

"Alrighty then dear! Stay safe." Granny Smith said.

After Apple Jack had rinsed herself off with the hose she stood at the gate of Sweet Apple Acres. "Stay safe." Apple Jack mumbled to herself as she walked away from her home and onto her journey to pick up her little sister.
