The Story of -F
Chapter 37: She's no Siren
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSunset kept staring at the note. "So, why would she run away or be kidnappdd?"
"The police think Applebloom ran away to avoid arrest." Max, the police officer said, adjusting his colar.
"Why would Applebloom be arrested?" Sunset asked, taking a seat. She knew she would be at the Sweet Apple Orchards for way longer then she had planned.
"Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle got arrested for breaking into the school. And also, Celestia is confirmed dead. The police found a body and Faith was arrested this morning." Applejack told Sunset, chewing on a bendy straw.
"Wait... you can't arrest them! They confessed!" Sunset yelled in The Crusaders defence. "The day Applejack got arrested for doing it, they all confessed. But the Police said they were lying. So you can't arrest them!"
"That's true, so..." Applejack looked as if she was gonna throw up. "I think Applebloom knew that. Maybe she was hiding from something else. I think she was hiding from someone else. Under someone else's orders."
"F?" Sunset suggested. Everyone but AJ gave her a confused look. "Our kidnapper?"
"What if putting The Crusaders in jail was gonna be F's chance to scoop them up and take them to the maze?" Applejack stood up. "To kidnap them!"
"Calm down ladies, I got my buddy Joey on the line, this will wall be tooken care off." Max essured, grabbing his Walky Talky.
"Maybe they should all just be in jail." Big Mac mumbled. Sunset narrowed her eyes to him and gave him an angrey look. "Including you." He finished.

Applebloom ran threw the forest, down a stepp hill which was a struggle sence she was in heels. She knew she would be arrested if she stayed. Leaving Scootaloo and Sweetie was a screwed up idea. But F would kill them all if she didn't run. Or just her...
She stopped at the bottom of the hill and gripped onto a tree. Climb it? She though. Unless I'd like to die, no. Applebloom quickly put her green hoodie up and let down the blonde wig that was attached to it. The whole outfit of Salvage she wore was supposed to represent Applejack as a younger kid. You know, Salvage the memories. Or whatever that meant. If it even existed. Ms. Cheerilie didn't really know what she was talking about.
"Stop!" A voice of a police officer called. Applebloom looked back at the flashlights, silloutes of police officers, the dogs barking. She let go off the tree and began running as fast as she could. Quickly, she had ran out of breath and was cornered. The flashlights were darker and the barks were louder.
"Help." She cried faintly. She felt someone out a hand on her sholder, and instantly she turned around and freaked. It was no police officer. It was a girl. She had purple hair with mint green streaks, pink skin, purple eyes, and she wore black combat boots, black jeans, and a black short sleeve T-shirt. She held Appleblooms hand in hers
Applebloom ripped her hand out of the girls. "Who- who are you?"
"You need to trust me, give me your hand." The girl said more like a demand.
"Your gonna get arrested! Who are you!"
"My name is Harmony Blaze. Now, give me your hand Applebloom!" Harmony Blaze, Arias daughter, a siren, trying to help her? And she knew who she was. How did Harmony know who she was? Applebloom paused for a moment until she gave Harmony her hand.
"Trust me." Harmony promised. Applebloom nodded. Harmony shut her eyes hardly. Her necklace, that had the red pendant just like the dazzlings use to have, lit up. Then, the rest was sort of a blur, except Applebloom knew Harmony had just transported her out of the forest, but to who knows where.
"She's gone!" Shining Armor called as he finally reached the top of the hill. He looked at the dirt. There were two pairs off footprints. "That's impossible."

"What do you mean you're moving?" Misty yelled at Alison, who had her back turned and arms crossed. "When? To WERE?"
Alison turned around in anger. "Why do you care? I never even wanted to do this. You made me! You lied to Fleetfoot!"
"Phh. So what? We needed to find her so-"
"Her? Oh my god Misty! This isn't about avenging Spitfire to a girl who is dead! I gonna a say this once, so you feeble little brain can get it..." Alison enhaled alot of breath and then screamed, "RAINBOW DASH IS DEAD!"
"She's not!" Misty screamed in defence. She grabbed a beating stick off the table and began walking towards Alison. Alison soon began moving back as well, worry in her veins. "I've known you forever Alison. I brought you to Canterlot High. I brought you to a new life."
"And guess what!" Alison put her hand on stick. "I ran away from that life. And then, when I thought I sare you, I snapped! I snapped and hit what I thought was you in the head and killed an innocent person, because of you! You... You are the reason I was in Noah's Dawn! You're the reason that the poor child you babysat was in that place too! And her friends, I don't know what there up to, but I bet it has something to do with you!"
Misty ripped the stick from Alisons clutches. "Atleast I don't date teachers!"
"Shut up! I dated your science teacher for what? Two months?" Alison felt her right cheek go up as if she was smiling and twitched. This happened when she was mad, or embarrassed. "And please, you don't date anyone!"
"I do date Applejacks older brother, Big Mac."
A laugh escaped Alisons mouth. "Yeah, only to find more about Applejack and her little sister, who plays some Salvage roll that can hurt you."
"Not me. Someone else." Misty raised the stick and swung it to hit her friend. Alison put her hand up and grabbed the stick.
Grinning her teeth, she spoke. "Your a liar Mystery. Go back to where you came from and let me go home and see my family. And leave Fleetfoot alone. She's a good person. A better friend then you, even though she thinks I'm crazy. Soon as you leave, I'll have harmony, peace!"
"No. Fleetfoot is perfect for this. This is my time to finally get them." Misty raised her stick and hit Alison, sending her to the ground. "And your time to go away."

Applebloom looked up. She was in Noah's Dawn. Didn't take to much knowledge of hers to know that. She turned to Harmony, the girl who had transported her there. Applebloom didn't know whether or not to thank her or to scream at her. Ofcourse she wouldn't scream, she couldn't look at the girl, who was freaking out at the moment, and not see Aria, a real close friend.
"I don't understand why you'd save me." Finally, she found the perfect words to escape her lips. Just, not in the right order.
Harmony shrugged. "Well, you know my mother, right? And plus, since your picture is on the news media, I figured I give you a hoove- hand." She struggled to open the window.
"Why are you trying to escape again?" She asked, sitting on a bed and adjusting her green jacket at the buttons.
"I'm guessing you know who I am." Harmony turned to Applebloom and examined her body.
"Sonata Dusk, or your Aunt, sare you in a flash back, when she sare a necklace like yours," she pointed to her pendant, which Harmony held close to her chest. "And then we sare you on the website as Blaze, and more flash backs, we sare you were her daughter."
"Oh, so you didn't look for me?" Harmony Blaze gave Applebloom a sad look.
"Oh no," Applebloom quickly stood up. "Aria was going to visit you, but the kidnapper said she would kill you if she went near you because your hers, I guess."
"I'm my own person, but yeah, I am a prisoner here so I'm many peoples. And as you asked earlier, I'm trying to escape because I'll be stuck here again if I'm caught here. And, you too maybe." Harmony flipped her hair that looked like Arias just like Aria.
"How long has it been sence I've went missing?"
"About a week. That's how long it takes
Applebloom looked in worry. "I'm- I'm chipped." She felt the back of her neck.
Harmony grabbed something silver and waked to Applebloom. "Where?" She asked.
Applebloom pointed. "Wh- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Applebloom shrieked. Harmony covered her mouth from behind. Then she turned her around and hushed her. "What did you do?"
She held the knife up. "Cutting it out."
"No! I rather take my chances." Applebloom told her, putting the knife back in place.
"Sorry." Harmony apologized, not looking sincere. But Applebloom nodded in forgiveness.
Bang! Bang! The door in the back of the room vibrated. Applebloom and Harmony looked at eachother. The Harmony grabbed her and hid herself and Applebloom behind a bed.
"What's happening?" Applebloom whispered.
"Police, we could get caught." She replied, such a silent whisper Applebloom didn't even hear her. Applebloom took a deep breath and went over to the door. "What the hell are you doing!"
"It's not police." Applebloom anwsered. "This is the file room."
"Oh," Harmony sucked her lips in in embarrassment, something Harmony poorly hid.
Applebloom took no hesitation to kick the door out of the locks but not out of the hinges. In the file room, there stood Diamond Tiara, Appleblooms enemy, smuggling a file into her purse.

"Something off is going on." Adagio stated, sitting with Aria, Sunset, and Applejack in her car. The only ones who weren't trying to get Sweetie and Scootaloo out of prison. Still.
"Figures," Aria said, adjusting her posture. She was still recovering from something in her stomach blowing up. She had to go into surgery six days ago. That's what a Monday brings. She though after the surgery. "There's police tape, cops, people, cars, and lights everywhere. And I think that someone is under that blanket."
Applejack and Sunset made eye contact with pink sheet stained with blood. "Maybe it's Luna. Or Scootaloo." Sunset complained in a choked up voice. "F texted me when Aria was in surgery. She's my puppet, she's her puppet, so the chain will break one day. Snap. -F."
"Puppets are held on strings..." Applejack stated with confusion. "What if Applebloom is under there?"
"She kicked F's ass in Manhattan, right?" Aria retorted, shaking the Meds the doctor gave her.
"Yeah, but Rainbow Dash kicked Soarin ass many times, and he's the strongest kid in school. And, she lost to F."
"Can we please not talk about Rainbow." Sunset demanded, putting her hand up.
"Yes, let's talk about the fact the pink blanket flew off the dead girl..." Adagio scremed, pointing to the body.
"Alison? Alison Grace? That's not Alison Grace, right?" Aria asked, shaking her head. "She's not F?"
"But... she hates us!" Applejack exclaimed. "What?"
"Look, Mistys here crying." Sunset pointed, "The fakest tears I've ever seen.". Adagio, Aria, and Applejack looked at her as she just said that sky was falling. Sunset got out off Applejacks car and ran across the crime scene. She jumped over the Alisons dead body and walked over to Misty, the wind blowing in her french braid and her pieces of hair to short for the braid.
Misty looked up. "What do you want?"
"Miss, you can't be here." A police officer stated. Sunset looked back at her three friends, who were all being held back by police, midway to her.
"It's her." Sunset said.
"Huh?" The police man all said.
"Her." Sunset pointed at Misty, tears in only Sunsets eyes. "She's the kidnapper."
Applejack, Adagio, and Aria stood motionless. Emotionless. Shocked at the lie Sunset told. And even more shocked the police believed her.
Could she be right? Adagio thought. Did she just end F?

"What the hell are you doing here?" Applebloom screamed at Diamond Tiara.
"No-no-nothing!" She scremed digging the files deeper into her purse.
Applebloom put her hand out. "Give me the files."
"They're mine! They're my files! Okay!" Diamond Tiara hesitated. "I was scared you found out and ran here to find proof."
"Proof for what?" Harmony asked, trying to catch up on the conversation.
"Who are you!" Diamond Tiara retourted.
"A friend who helped her. Continue."
"Proof for why Ms. Cheerilie is gone. She found out I knew about something."
"She was having a baby and my older brother was the father?" Applebloom said right as the words escaped Diamond Tiara.
She nodded. "How did you know?"
"A little bird told me." Applebloom said.
"Not to disturb this, but I see police cars so the three of us have to find a way out of here." Harmony interrupted.
"The window you were opening?" Applebloom suggested.
Harmony nodded sadly. "There out there."
"Hide!" Declared Diamond Tiara, hiding under a file shelf, Harmony doing the same, and Applebloom put her hood on and stood in a cornor isolated by files. A police man came in and shined the flashlight everywhere. The girls where hidden so well, the police man didn't see them. But he kept flashing his light, just to make sure. And then he left.
Yup, Harmony thought. These police officers are idiots.
* * *
"So, your sure Misty is your kidnapper?" Shining Armor asked, taking pages of notes. Sunset nodded in agreement, definitely sure. Applejack nodded an okay nod. Adagio didn't even nod. "Adagio?"
"Oh, um yes?" Her head jerked up from her thoughts. She hoped someone had lived up to there promises.
"Misty? Are you sure she's your kidnapper?"
"Yes, I sare her face... I told a lawyer in knew but I didn't say Misty because she threatened me."
What the hell is she doing? Aria thought, longing to go home.
"Okay. And, if any of you have doubts just say so now." Shining Armor asked sincerely, leaning back.
Arias mouth opened, then hesitated. "I have a few doubts."
"But, not to be rude, you weren't kidnapped." Shining Armor called out, denying his previous statement.
"I know but, F did frame me and I sare a glimpse of her when Flash and Twilight died, and I don't think it was Misty."
"You don't think my sister was killed by Misty? And your sisters where tooken by Misty? And you-"
Aria's thoughts left Shining Armor, and looked towards her friends. They were shooting her a Shut up and take it all back look. Feeling retorted, she did as so. "I don't think it, actually... wrong call, ha?" Aria smirked a laugh, trying to get the attention off her.

"Are you gonna confess to running away?" Harmony asked Applebloom, as her, Applebloom, and Diamond Tiara stood outside the police office. It was across the street. Who knew what five steps could lead to?
Applebloom nodded. "Yes."
Diamond Tiara reached into her purse for a lip gloss. She ripped it out, all of her files went with it. All the papers on the floor. Her eyes went small and face went white as she scrambled to pick the eight papers up.
Before the final paper could get into Diamond, Applebloom picked up the first paper. With all the information. Her eyes quickly read the paper, then she threw the paper to the ground and began walking across the street. Diamond Tiara quickly picked it up and stuffed it her purse.
"Oh,wow,another,liar." Applebloom smiled in an anger that scared Harmony and Diamond Tiara. She said every word as her high heels clinked the concrete. Her wall was very fluent, as the other two scrambled after her.
The doors to the office opened loudly. But no one's attention was caught. Except for Cadence, who had been sitting out a room her husband was in. She quickly stood up and walked over to her.
"Oh my goodness." She gasped. "You're okay! That's such a relief! Did your friends help you home?"
All three nodded before Applebloom stepped forward.
"Applebloom, did you run away to avoid arrest?" Cadence asked.
Applebloom remained silent. Harmony was suprised they didn't recognize her as a runaway, and Diamond Tiara just wanted to go home. She took another step forward.
"No." Applebloom anwsered, tears in her eyes. Fake tears. "I was kidnapped."
