Chapter 1: A Werewolf In Equestria

1 week eariler

In the Everfree Forest, the werewolf is seen strolling among the forest, hunting for some meat, he is accompanied by a mother wolf, a father wolf, and their five wolf pups, three girls and two boys. The father wolf soon picked up a trail that leads them to two deer grazing on some grass. the werewolf and his wolf companions sneaked closer to the deers before lunging forth for the kill. Soon they began eating the two deers until they ate enough to move on.

The werewolf and the wolves traveled onward into the day until the sun began to set, they soon set up camp and the werewolf went out to get firewood, a few hours later he returned with some wood, until the father wolf sensed something in the distance, he growled, snarled, and barks and then follows a trail he detected, the werewolf dropped the firewood and follows the father wolf. The two ran, following the trail until they stop as the father wolf starts growling at a sight in the distance: Fluttershy, a light gray gold pegasus with cyan eyes and a light grey rose mane, She appears to be feeding a group of animals with a basket full of fruits and vegetables. The wolf slowly advances toward fluttershy, it was almost near her, ready to attack until the werewolf barked loudly, ordering it to cease. The sound surprised fluttershy, she dropped her basket and the animals were scared away. The werewolf signals the father wolf to return to him as it retreats back to the spot where the two creatures were hiding. Fluttershy slowly turned around and saw nothing, she didn't see the werewolf and the father wolf as they hid behind a tree. Fluttershy breathes a sigh of relief, picked up her basket and flew away. the two creatures came out of hiding and see that she is gone. The werewolf and the father wolf returned to their camp as nighttime arises where the werewolf got the campfire lit up. While the wolves sleep, the werewolf gazes into the clear night sky.

As soon as morning comes, the werewolf and his wolves were back on the road again. Their travels soon takes them to an old cabin that has been abandoned and has since been fallen into disrepair, the werewolf decided to turn it into their home away from home. The werewolf takes out his backpack to search for tools, not before it sends his wolves out to search for food. The wolves' hunt so far turns up empty and their hunt eventually leads them to Fluttershy's cottage, where her animals are going inside for lunch. Fluttershy was in her bedroom, writing on her new diary given to her by Twilight Sparkle as a gift. Suddenly, she hears noises downstairs along with her animals' cries for help.

The animals began scattering to evade the wolves as they chased them all over the cottage, wrecking the place and leaving a big mess in their wake. Two wolf pups cornered Fluttershy's pet rabbit Angel as he tries to repel them with some martial arts moves, and soon attacks when the wolf pups made their move. Angel beats them with punches, kicks and karate chops, but when the mother wolf sees her pups being harmed by the rabbit, she rushes to their aid and growls at Angel. As soon as he sees the mother wolf, Angel drops the "Karate Bunny" act and runs away squealing in fear with the mother wolf giving chase. The wolf's fangs were nearing Angel when Fluttershy swats it with her broom, she then swats the other wolves screaming...

"Filthy savages!" Fluttershy roars. "Leave my animal friends alone!"

The father wolf lunges at Fluttershy, only to sink his teeth into the broom, as they struggle, the wolf's fangs snaps the broom in half, Fluttershy disposes the broken broom as the wolf pack soon surrounds Fluttershy in a circle, growling as she readies herself to defend her animal friends. The wolves suddenly pounces at the pegasus. Meanwhile back at the cabin, the cabin was almost restored as the werewolf works on the roof having spent most of the day working hard. Without warning, the werewolf hears the howling of his fellow wolves, sensing that they are in danger, he jumps off the roof, drops his hammer and races to the cottage on all fours.

Fluttershy strikes down the wolves one by one with her hooves as the animals watched the battle from a safe distance, the wolves attacked again, only to be beaten again, then after the third attack she screams...

"Get out!" Fluttershy roars. "Or i'll make you get out!"

As soon as she strikes down the mother and father wolf, the wolf pups bites on her hooves, she attempts to shakes them off, but the wolf parents pounced at Fluttershy, knocking her down. The struggle lasted for a few minutes, resulting in Fluttershy throwing and kicking the wolves off of her. Then in a fit of rage, Fluttershy savagely assaults the parent wolves while the wolf pups pounced on the back of Fluttershy to save their mother and father, only to have her throw them off. The werewolf suddenly enters the cottage, when he sees the battle, he unleashed a loud roar that caught Fluttershy by surprise and sent the animals into hiding, the wolves raced to their master. Fluttershy still shivering at the roar, slowly turns around to see...The werewolf! She gasped at the sight of the werewolf as it growls at her in anger. He then approaches Fluttershy and glares at her for a minute or two, while Fluttershy gulps and trembles in fear. Then without warning, the werewolf swings his claw at her, slashing her face. He then slashes at her two more times in the face before he delivers a uppercut slash that sent her flying and into the ground. Fluttershy tries to crawl away but the werewolf grabs her by the hoove and pulls her close, the scarred pegasus soon feels the beast's claws piercing through the back top of the her coat, but then his claws fiercely scratches all the way down, tearing her whole back and her wings. Fluttershy's screams of intense pain echoes into the sunset sky.

All was quiet the next day. Rainbow Dash, a very light cerulean pegasus with cerise eyes and a rainbow mane was flying among the skies of the forest with Angel riding on her, thinking about what happened eariler today...

She went to see Twilight Sparkle at the library after being summoned by her through a letter, when she arrived, Twilight appeared to be tired, having to deal with Fluttershy's animal friends last night, she asked Rainbow Dash to find Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash flew around town searching for Fluttershy, asking ponies if they seen her, but so far the search came up empty, She then thought Zecora might know where Fluttershy is. At Zecora's hut, Zecora informs Rainbow Dash that she has been sensing terrible pain, tragedy and worst of all, death, last night and throughout the morning, leaving Rainbow Dash puzzled as she returns to the library.

At the Ponyville Library, Fluttershy's remaining animal friends were hiding behind a table they knocked down, weeping and trembling in fear, traumatized by what happened last night. Angel, however was clinging onto one of Twilight Sparkle's hooves in fear. Both she and Rainbow Dash began to ponder.

"I don't know what is going on." Said Twilight. "But they're telling us that something is wrong. Did you see Fluttershy anywhere today?"

"Not since this morning." Said Rainbow Dash. "In fact, none of the ponies have ever seen her today. So i went and see Zecora."

"And?" Asked Twilight.

"She sensed that Fluttershy is in danger...and in great pain." Said Rainbow Dash. "You know, weird stuff like that."

Twilight looks out the window and feels worried for Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy? In danger? In great pain?" Twilight says with worries over Fluttershy. She paces back and forth, all while saying. "I don't like this at all, but she may be right. Something foul is afoot here. If Fluttershy has indeed disappeared, she might be the victim of something evil that will spead all over Equesteria and destroy everything. We have to find her! Let's check her place, she might still be home. If she isn't, we'll search for clues and gather our friends for a search and rescue mission."

"Sounds like a plan." Rainbow Dash agrees. "Okay, let's do this."

Fluttershy's animals peeked out of the table to see the two ponies getting ready to leave. They rushed to block the door, begging them not to go.

"Uh, maybe i should stay and calm them down." Said Twilight. "Why don't you take Angel and search Fluttershy's home. i'll take them outside to enjoy themselves and give them a snack."

The animals stopped panicking and agrees on Twilight's idea. They ran outside with the two ponies, while Twilight closes the library door. She removes Angel from her hoof and placed him on Rainbow Dash's back.

"Let's just hope that Fluttershy is okay." Twilight said. She flies away to join the animals. Rainbow Dash feels a hug and kisses from Angel, as he felt somewhat safe to be close to her.

"Figures." Said Rainbow Dash, as she felt annoyed.

Rainbow Dash arrives at Fluttershy's cottage just to find her front door open, she lands and starts walking to her door shouting...

"Fluttershy, are you home?" Said Rainbow Dash. "Your furry friends are loose in Ponyville!"

She gets no answer. She tries again...

"Tell me you're home, Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash Shouted. "Twilight is really worried about you! She said you might be in danger, Or something like that."

Again, no answer. Rainbow Dash ponders.

"Fluttershy sure is not herself today" Rainbow Dash told herself.

Rainbow Dash reaches the cottage door and looked inside, she gasped and rushed inside. Fluttershy's home was a complete mess, furniture and decorations were destroyed, a small pool of blood and the remains of a few birds were seen on the floor, Several rats and three raccoons were in the kitchen scavenging for food, they soon fled when they saw Rainbow Dash.

"Wha... What happened here?!" Questioned Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash searched the entire cottage and saw no signs of Fluttershy. She races back to the living room feeling shocked about Fluttershy's disappearance. Angel jumps off of Rainbow Dash and found a piece of a pegasus wing. Rainbow Dash approaches Angel and he turns around to show her the pegasus wing piece with teary eyes. One close look at the piece and she knows where that piece belongs to...

"Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said in shock. she picks up a still sad Angel. "Don't worry, she's still alive. I just know it."

We soon see Fluttershy, still alive and badly wounded. Her front hooves are tied together to a meat rope, a substitute for a meat hook. The room she is in is dark and cold. Fluttershy opened her eyes and see many of her animal friends stored on iron shelves, some of them are hanged onto hooks attached to a wall, all of them were dead and frozen. The room she is in is no doubt a freezer, a cold storage room used by hunters to keep their game fresh. The freezer had enough room to store several small animals and perhaps one or two big animals, especially ponies. Fluttershy attempted to break free but the pain from her wounds prevented her from any means of escape. Poor Fluttershy...unless she is rescued, she might end up joining her animal friends.

Rainbow Dash has spent nearly all day flying around the skies of Everfree Forest searching for Fluttershy but haven't got any luck so far. She sighs and thinks about giving up and returning to Ponyville empty-hoofed when suddenly she sees hears the howling of wolves. She follows the howling until it faded. She then gets an idea. She howled loudly like a wolf. After a few seconds, she hears the howling again and followed it.

After howling several times, Rainbow Dash's trail leads her to the old cabin that was fully restored. The werewolf has also built a outdoor home for his wolves and a outhouse. The werewolf's wolves were outside enjoying themselves. Rainbow Dash attempts to land close to the cabin, but the wolf pack sees the pegasus and started growling and barking at them, forcing her to land in a hiding spot from a safe distance.

"I need a diversion." Said Rainbow Dash. "And i just got one."

Angel squeals and jumps off Rainbow Dash and hides behind a rock, possibly scared of Rainbow Dash's idea of a diversion.

The wolf pack continues to enjoy their quality family time until they see Angel. Angel waves at them, but when the wolves starts growling, Angel gets scared and runs away squealing with the wolf pack hot on his rabbit tail. Twilight Sparkle poke her head out to see that the wolves are gone, she moved silently towards the cabin, Rainbow Dash peeked inside the window and saw no one there, She tiptoed to the door, entered the cabin and closed the door. Once inside, she searches the entire cabin for Fluttershy. As she searches, she see some blades on a table, Rainbow Dash gets nervous and gulps but continues searching until she comes across an metal door. Rainbow Dash opens it and gasped when she saw what was inside...Fluttershy! She is still hanging on to the meat rope, the front of her coat is covered in scratches and bite marks. Rainbow Dash rushes into the freezer and checks her vital signs and sighs in relief to hear that she is still breathing. Rainbow Dash saw Fluttershy's dead animal friends all over the freezer, the sight made her shiver as much as the cold. Fluttershy is shivering from the cold and is still feeling the pain from her wounds. Rainbow Dash grabs one of the knives from the table and frees Fluttershy by cutting off the meat rope. Fluttershy drops to the floor on her stomach and felt a sharp pain that made her cry in painful agony. Rainbow Dash cuts off the rope bondage that tied Fluttershy's front hoofs together, disposes of the knife and drags Fluttershy close to the campfire to warm her up, she is then shocked to see that Fluttershy's wing has been ripped to shreds and then saw a long and deep scratch on her whole back coat. Rainbow Dash hugs Fluttershy and said...

"Oh, Fluttershy. What have they done to you?" Said Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes and saw Rainbow Dash hugging her. Despite her condition she started to speak...

"Rain..bow?" Fluttershy said weakly.

Rainbow Dash smiles at Fluttershy, shedding a single tear. She hugs Fluttershy again and said...

"Don't worry, Fluttershy." Said Rainbow Dash while hugging her wounded friend. "It's okay, you're safe now."

Fluttershy views a flashback of the few of her many animal friends being eaten by the wolves. She starts to shed tears of her tragic loss.

"My...poor..animal friends...dead." Fluttershy weakly said. she sniffs and coughs before continuing. "Hunted...mercilessly (sniffs)...by...those savages...those...wolves. (coughs) I...couldn't...save them...It...(sniffs, then quietly sobs)"

"Just rest, Fluttershy. You need your strength." Said Rainbow Dash. She looked at the fire at the fireplace. Her anger fuels by the thought that the wolves killed Fluttershy's animal friends and nearly took her life away. "They won't get away with this. I promise you, Fluttershy, I'll make them pay."

The two ponies gets surprised when they heard the cabin door bursted open. Fluttershy fainted, But Rainbow Dash turned around and sighed in relief when she saw Angel. Angel was mad as he rushes to Rainbow Dash, kicked her in the hoof and shakes his fist at her for using him as bait.

"Not now, Angel." Said Rainbow Dash. "Look at her."

Fluttershy woke up and made eye contact with Angel. One look at her wounds and Angel sees a flashback of who inflicted those wounds upon her...the werewolf. Angel hugs Fluttershy and starts crying. Fluttershy comforts Angel.

"Don't worry... Angel." Fluttershy said weakly."Mommy is...here...for you."

"Hang in there, Fluttershy." Said Rainbow Dash. "I'll take you back to Ponyville and get you some medical attention."

Rainbow Dash picks up Fluttershy and placed her on her back. She thens realizes something...

"Looks like i can't fly while i carry her." Said Rainbow Dash. She turns to Angel and said... "Angel, go to Ponyville and get some help. Tell them i found fluttershy."

Angel agrees and races back to Ponyville. When Rainbow Dash carries her outside, she hears howling and takes her away from the cabin as fast as possible. She know they must escape quickly before the wolves return. The journey back home wasn't easy for Rainbow Dash while she's traveling on foot carrying Fluttershy back to Ponyville. She felt exhausted, but her worries for Fluttershy and the wolves' howling is what kept her going. After an hour of two, she puts Fluttershy down on the grass carefully and began to rest. Rainbow Dash looks at the sky, the sun was about to set and she knows Everfree Forest is never safe at night. Rainbow Dash hears the wolves' howling again, and after a few minutes, the werewolf's angry roar. The roar shocked Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, Fluttershy began to hug Rainbow Dash from behind, trembling in fear.

"Oh, no. It knows!" Said Fluttershy out of fear. "It will come after us!"

"What? What will come after us?" Said Rainbow Dash.

"Big...

The two ponies hears noises from the distance. Rainbow Dash realizes the wolves are approaching and placed Fluttershy back on her back and started moving again. Rainbow Dash continued travelling on foot as quickly as she can to stay ahead of the wolf pack until she sees Angel along the path, behind him was Rarity carrying a blanket, Pinkie Pie carrying a thermos full of soup and Applejack was behind them dragging a cart full of hay. They see Rainbow Dash carrying Fluttershy and rushed to them.

"Oh, thank Celestia you two are safe." Said Rarity.

The ponies load Fluttershy into the hay filled cart. Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie saw her torn wings and the long claw mark that stretched her whole back. They gasped and said...

"Oh..my..." Rarity said.

"Eww! Rarity, cover it up!" Said Pinkie Pie as she looked away, feeling grossed out.

"Yeesh! What the heck happened to her?" Said Applejack. Rarity covered Fluttershy with the blanket she brought. Pinkie Pie began feeding Fluttershy a cup full of vegetable soup from her thermos while Angel comforts her.

"It's those wolves. they killed Fluttershy's animals and nearly did her in." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Wolves?" Pinkie Pie said.

"Ugh! Foul dogs! Horrible Meat Eaters! I can't stand them!" Rarity said.

"Heartless Varmints! They need to be put down!" Said Applejack in anger. She returns to the front of the cart and reattach herself. "Come on, girls. We need to get Fluttershy to the hospital and warn everypony. There's gonna be blood to spill, and i do mean them wolves."

Applejack rides off with Fluttershy resting in the cart. Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Pinkie Pie hears howling. They soon see the wolf pack appearing behind them. The wolves began growling, Rainbow Dash angrily stare at the wolves.

"You guys go on ahead." Said Rainbow Dash. "I got a bone to pick with these wolves."

Rarity and Pinkie Pie races off to catch up with Applejack. Rainbow Dash approaches the wolves, ready to fight, but the wolves retreat. She gives chase by flying. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie races on the path back to Ponyville. Fluttershy wakes up and gasped, she sensed a familiar presence, then hides inside the blanket.

"No! Bad wolf, big bad wolf! Save me! It's coming to get me!" Fluttershy shouted in terror.

"Big bad wolf? You mean the big bad wolf in "The Three Little Fillies"?" Said Pinkie Pie.

"Applejack, how close are we to Ponyville? The sun is almost set and there's no telling what terrible monstrosities would come out and hunt us." Said Rarity.

"Oh, pipe down, Rarity." Said Applejack. "The only two ponies that can take on a pack of vile critters are me and Rainbow Dash."

"AAAHHHHHH!" Screamed Rainbow Dash.

The three ponies stopped when they hear the scream. They look behind the path and saw Rainbow Dash flying in terror. She flew in front of them, her body was shaking in fear.

"Rainbow Dash, what's wrong?" Questioned Pinkie Pie.

"I thought you were going to beat down them wolves." Said Applejack.

"I changed my mind! There's a big bad wolf heading this way!" Shouted Rainbow Dash.

"Big bad.. Oh, come on now!" Said Applejack "Y'all know it just a foal's story!"

The werewolf's roar echoed into the sky. The ponies were spooked by the roar.

"What was that?" Questioned Applejack.

Fluttershy peeked out of the blanket and said...

"No... Oh no. It found us." Said Fluttershy as she trembles in fear, she hid back into the blanket.

The ponies see the werewolf stepping out the shadows, his powerful glare send fear into the ponies' souls. soon his wolf pack appears and started growling. Out of nowhere, two more wolf packs join in from the sides. All the wolves and the werewolf were growling at the ponies. Angel squeals and quickly hides inside the blanket with Fluttershy.

"Uh, i rather not stay here and bicker about." Said Applejack.

"Yea verily." Said Rarity.

"Run for your lives!" Shouted Pinkie Pie.

The ponies began running back to Ponyville in terror. The werewolf and the wolves pursued them. The chase is on. Rainbow Dash looked behind to see the wolves catching up with the werewolf not far behind. One of the wolves attempted to jump on the cart but Rainbow Dash kicked it before it landed. Five more wolves tried to jump on the cart, but one by one Rainbow Dash kicks them to the ground, then after that, three more wolves tried to jump on the cart and all three of them were kicked to the ground. Rainbow Dash soon sees the werewolf lunging off the top of a tree. He tries to grab her, but she dodges just in time and sees him land on the floor unscathed, it then resume the pursuit, racing ahead of the wolves until it makes another lunge at Rainbow Dash which she dodges, and ended up landing on the cart. His eyes soon focused on the blanket, Fluttershy and Angel pop their heads out of the blanket, they were terrorized when saw the werewolf, so they hid back inside the blanket to cower in fear. The werewolf was about to grab the two when Pinkie Pie quickly opens her thermos and splashed vegetable soup on the werewolf's eyes. Blinded, the werewolf howls in pain and Rainbow Dash kicks the werewolf in the face and knocks him off the cart. The wolves passed through the werewolf, continuing the chase. The werewolf gets back up, shakes off the dirt, quickly regains his eyesight, growls and race to catch up.

The Ponies soon see Ponyville in the distance.

"Hang on, girls! We're almost there!" Shouted Applejack.

As the ponies races out of the forest, Rainbow Dash looks behind and sees the wolves, they stopped chasing them. Instead they watch the ponies returned to their home with their wounded friend. The werewolf soon appeared and saw nothing but Ponyville, the ponies have made it home, he knows he can't be near civilization in the daytime. The werewolf soons returns to the forest, the wolves quickly follow.

The ponies arrived at the town square. Safe from the wolves, They stopped to catch their breath. Pinkie Pie shouted to some nearby ponies...

"HURRY, EVERYPONY! RUN INSIDE!" Shouted Pinkie Pie. "BOARD UP YOUR WINDOWS AND DOORS! THERE'S A HORDE OF..."

"Pinkie Pie! We already lost them." Said Applejack.

Pinkie Pie look behind and saw no wolves chasing them.

"Oh, okay." Said Pinkie Pie. She shouted... "FALSE ALARM, EVERYPONY! SORRY!"

A small group of ponies gathered at the cart. Fluttershy and Angel pop their heads out of the blanket when they saw Ponyville, they sigh in relief. Twilight Sparkle arrives and saw her friends with Fluttershy still in the cart. As soon as she sees Twilight, Fluttershy closes her eyes, bows her head, and removes the blanket to reveal her wounds. The small crowd of ponies gasped and Twilight Sparkle covers her mouth in shock.

It was soon nighttime and we see the Ponyville Hospital. not far from the hospital, the father wolf is seen gazing at the hospital. Possibly no doubt spying for the werewolf.
