A Fluttercord Story
Chapter 12
Previous Chapter Next ChapterApple Bloom blindly ran into the forest, then stopped as she kept walking. "Ah guess maybe Big Mac is right... Ah'm too young to fall in love, let alone a timberwolf... Besides... Ah'm a blank flank."
"I don't care if you have a cutie mark or not Apple Bloom, because I love you too." Timber said as he had stopped when he heard her cry that she loved him.
"Timber?!" Apple Bloom's eyes widened.
Timber came up in front of her. "I mean it... I've been in love with you ever since I first laid eyes on you."
"Really?" Apple Bloom smiled.
"Yes..." Timber nodded sincerely. "I'm a wolf and you're a pony, love is love."
"Love is magical." Apple Bloom smiled.
"It's a very wonderful thing." Timber smiled back.
"Suddenly Timber~" Apple Bloom randomly sang. "Is standing here beside me~"
Timber smiled while Apple Bloom randomly sang. The two then seemed to have their own musical number which was like Suddenly Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors. Unknown to them, Timber's father had been watching the whole thing and where he smiled evilly as he would possibly use this to his advantage. Apple Bloom and Timber sat together as they shared a hug and were imagining their futures together.
"Now to ruin their little relationship and start a war between us and the ponies." Timber's father smirked evilly and quietly before he cued a Timberwolf that was by his side to attack Apple Bloom.
The other timberwolf nodded with a dark smile in agreement. "Yes, my Lord."
The other timberwolf soon sprang out with a howl.
Timber gasped.
"Who's that?" Apple Bloom asked.
"That must be Tate..." Timber said to her. "He's my dad's closest partner in the pack, he's like an uncle to me."
Tate charged in and where he was ready to attack the earth filly.
"Get out of here!" Timber helped Apple Bloom out of the forest. "It's not safe here!"
"Ah'm not leaving you!" Apple Bloom told him.
"I can't let you stay here," Timber said with tears in his eyes. "Just go before it's too late!"
"No way, Timber; Ah'm staying Ah love you too much to let anyone hurt you." Apple Bloom said.
"Apple Bloom, please-" Timber pouted.
Tate jumped down right in front of Apple Bloom and snarled loudly in her face.
"Stay away from her!" Timber growled at Tate.
"Timber?!" Tate glared.
Timber backed Tate against the trees. "You heard me!"
"Why, you little twig!" Tate glared.
Apple Bloom looked worried, but did her best to look brave as she came by Timber's side. "He ain't no twig!"
"Apple Bloom, please, get out of here while you still can!" Timber urged the earth filly.
"No way, Ah am staying right here with you." Apple Bloom said.
"Apple-" Timber started.
"Ah'm not letting you alone... Never." Apple Bloom promised firmly.
Timber sighed as he couldn't talk her out of leaving him.
Tate laughed and hit Apple Bloom against a tree. "Stay out of this, Prissy Pony!"
Apple Bloom yelped and hit against the tree before firmly glaring. "Oh, no, y'all DIDN'T!"
Timber gasped before snarling to Tate. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
Timber soon attacked Tate. Tate growled as he fought against Timber. Timber might have been young, but he showed he was a great fighter and didn't hold back against Tate. Tate continued to fight until he saw Applejack coming and then he smiled evilly before he rushed off deeper into the forest. Timber growled as he wrestled against Tate, and where he soon saw that Tate managed to escape.
"Where are you?!" Timber snarled.
"Y'all can run, but ya can't hide!" Apple Bloom added in, her mane was messed up and she had some scars on her body, but she didn't care.
They didn't see him anywhere so they decided to go back the same way as Tmber was going to Apple Bloom home, unfortunately Applejack saw her younger sister with scars and where Applejack didn't come alone.
"Apple Bloom!" Applejack's eyes widened.
"Hi, Applejack..." Apple Bloom greeted her older sister.
"Seize that timberwolf!" Princess Celestia ordered her guards as she and the others got the wrong idea.
"What?!" Timber's eyes widened.
The guards then charged for him.
"No, stop!" Apple Bloom cried out.
The guards soon arrested Timber as they thought that he had attacked her.
"Princess-" Apple Bloom spoke up.
"Don't worry, Apple Bloom, he won't hurt you anymore." Princess Celestia promised the young filly.
"But, Princess, he-" Apple Bloom tried to speak.
"This timberwolf will be punished; I promise you that." Princess Celestia said as she and the guards left with Timber as their prisoner.
"But you don't-" Apple Bloom continued.
"Keep her inside." Princess Celestia told Applejack.
"Listen!" Apple Bloom cried out, but she was shut out.
Timber sadly looked out as he was escorted away from Apple Bloom, perhaps, forever.
"Come on, Sugah Cube, let's get you inside." Applejack said.
"But..." Apple Bloom cried out.
Applejack put her front fore leg around Apple Bloom and took her home. Apple Bloom had tears in her eyes as she was walking from Timber who was going to be gratefully punished by the Great and Powerful Princess of Equestria.
"Wait, Applejack, can I, um, see Timber one last time tonight? Please." Apple Bloom begged.
"Ah'm sorry, Apple Bloom, but-" Applejack was about to say.
"Please!" Apple Bloom pleaded. "Just one last time..." she had puppy dog eyes in her face now.
Applejack looked into her eyes, that was always her weakness as an older sister, she then saw she had no choice but to give in. "All right, Sugah Cube, Ah'll see what Ah can do."
"Thank you." Apple Bloom smiled.
Applejack comforted Apple Bloom the best that she could. Applejack soon went to talk to Princess Celestia into letting Apple Bloom speak/see Timber one last time for the night. Princess Luna was rising the moon.
Applejack went with Apple Bloom to the castle. "My little sister wishes to speak with the imprisoned timberwolf." Applejack told the two guards.
"Make it quick.' One of the guards said as they allowed the earth pony filly in.
Applejack then let Apple Bloom go in alone. The guards stepped aside and let Apple Bloom go inside.
Apple Bloom walked in and looked heartbroken as Timber was locked up in a cold, dark room all by himself. Apple Bloom soon came over to him raising his head with her right hoof as his head was hanging from depression.
"Apple Bloom." Timber said.
"Ah'm so sorry." Apple Bloom frowned sadly.
"For what? This? I've been through worst scrapes than this," Timber said before trying to think of when. "Can't think of any right now, but-"
"It would've been better if we never met," Apple Bloom stopped him. "None of this would've happened."
"Apple Bloom, look at me," Timber looked into the filly's orange eyes. "I'd rather die tomorrow than live a thousand moons without knowing you."
"Oh, Timber." Apple Bloom frowned.
"If I never knew you if I never felt this love, I would have no inkling of how precious life can be~" Timber sang. "If I never held you, I would never have a clue how at last I'd find in you the missing part of me~"
They soon heard someone coming in to see that it was Patch, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo as small as ants before they went back to normal size along with some of Fluttershy's squirrels and birds who had seen what actually happened in the forest.
"In this world so full of fear full of rage and lies, I can see the truth so clear in your eyes, so dry your eyes~" Timber continued to sing to Apple Bloom. "And I'm so grateful to you, I have lived my life through lost forever, if I never knew you~"
Apple Bloom and Timber nuzzled against each other with tears in their eyes. Patch, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and the birds and squirrels felt sad about how this was going end or so they thought would happen.
"I thought our love would be so beautiful somehow, we'd make the whole world bright, I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong, all they'd leave us were these whispers in the night~" Apple Bloom sang. "But still my heart is saying; we were right. Oh, if I never knew you~"
"I thought our love would be so beautiful~" Timber sang.
"Somehow we'd make the whole world bright~" Apple Bloom sang.
"I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong, All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night, But still my heart is saying we were right~" Timber and Apple Bloom sang.
"Oh, if I never knew you~" Apple Bloom sang.
"There's no moment I regret~" Timber sang.
"If I never felt this love~" Apple Bloom sang.
"Since the moment that we met~" Timber sang.
"I would have no inkling of~" Apple Bloom sang.
"If our time has gone too fast~" Timber sang.
"How precious life can be...~" Apple Bloom sang.
"I lived at last...~" Timber sang.
Apple Bloom and Timber were about to kiss. Patch was hoping nothing would interrupt this moment between the two young, interspecies, lovers. Unfortunately, Applejack did interrupt them.
"Apple Bloom." Applejack said as her signal to tell her that her time was up.
Apple Bloom sighed while shutting her eyes. "Goodbye, Timber..."
"Goodbye, Apple Bloom." Timber nuzzled against her.
Once they left, Timber was all alone again. Applejack put her arm around Apple Bloom as they went off back home. Tate was secretly watching this in the bushes, once the sisters went off, he then went off back into the forest to report back to Timber's father.
