In this bleak world where the undead claimed Dominion one pony will risk it all to uncover the truth. and tries to cure the ones she loves _____diary 1 AJ's note: I don't know how long I've been like this my mind can't seem to make sense of it hell there's moments I can't tell what time what time of day it is I haven't seen the sun in a long long while now there's a lot of cages and scrap metal around sometimes I can hear see that's the problem I can't really remember what those things are. Twilight read it over and over again which irritated the other mare Trixie Trixie kept complaining that Twilight was paying more attention to those journals that she found written by Applejack more than she was paying attention to her since that day was really important for the unicorn Twilight wood apologize seeming a bit tired since she had been up all night that day was the day that a few ponies would be sent out of the camp to get supplies and other things.Useful for the survivors the three cadets that were chosen to go were thunderlane Trixie Twilight and pony Joe they were sent on a journey to ponyville the most infested part of Equestria on their way they were attacked by those zombie like creatures all cadets who went on the mission had died besides one Twilight she was still alive hiding in the upstairs part of a building the creature who killed Trixie slowly approaching with ones with movement the zombie like creature breaks the barricade that Twilight had set up to protect herself on the upper floor sending her flying and hitting a wall when she hit the wall she screamed when she had opened her eyes she looked through Cascades of tears to a figure that was all too familiar through all the pain and she figured out who it was she wasn't entirely convinced that her mind wasn't just playing tricks on her as she beheld the very person she sought out for all that time Applejack she could see the orange of her coat though it is muted in color and marked with cuts scrapes and old injuries that don't seem to be healing she saw the three apples of her cutie mark sagging from misshapen fur on her flank as if holding on to their last thread of flesh before peeling off completely she had saw clumps of mane and tail hanging loosely with old stained elastic stained in frizzy but still blonde with an adult toilet had noticed there was an absent of green within Applejack's milky colored eyes which are staring and blinking at her from the deep set darken eye sockets she has saw a bone and tissue picking out from huge injuries on their sides and on their legs and on her ears nose mouth and cheek which are clearly saturated with. Trixie's blood and if it wasn't certain already who it was the tattered dirty falling apart Stetson hat somehow set in place on her head ______ Twilight: A~Applejack? Is it really...." *Applejack suddenly gets closer unfazed by twilight's question or overall demeanor of fear Twilight is too stunned to scream and within moments Applejack is inches away from Twilight twilight gets a whiff of the rotting decay smell of Applejack and gags a little bit Twilight squeezes her eyes shut waiting for the end that everyone had gruesomely described to her but it never came. Instead she felt cold breath sniffing various parts of her like a dog trying to identify another dog Applejack Snow was rubbing against toilets cheek in a gentle gesture staining her and Trixie's blood in the process Twilight was still afraid visibly shaking she sat still as the undead applejack bloomed over her. Applejack tilts her head to the side seemingly confused and her hat dislodges from her head it lands between both of them on the ground but she appears on fazed ______Twilight:"applejack? Do you know me?"

____Apple: .....

_____Twilight:" Applejack. Can you- -"

Twilight had tried to stand up but pain had shot through her body her front left hoof was broken the bone sticking out in the wrong direction the buck from the undead Applejack had sent her across the room had done more damage than she realized
