“What?!” Twilight Sparkle said in surprise

      “Well?”

      “Why do you have to kill us?! I mean we didn’t do anything!”

      “Your friend...” Raycaster pointed at Rainbow Dash “-tried to attack us. Unless she was trying to give me a really aggressive hug, she was going to kill me.”

Pinkie could hear Twilight gulp. She knew that her book worm friend was running out of excuses to feed the wild wolf.

      “Well silly! because we wanted to join your pack!” Pinkie said

Raycaster turned his attention to Pinkie. She could feel the anger and annoyance that the purple wolf radiated. He stared at Pinkie with a steely gaze, Pinkie made a smile that reached from cheek to cheek, completely ignoring the fact that there was a vicious rabid animal that had the assets required to completely destroy a pony.

Raycaster stared at her and sized her up. He took a step back and gave a glance to his fellow wolves. Backdraft gave a “Whatever” kind of look. Covert was nowhere to be seen, probably hiding in the crowds, Kenshin was still sizing them up, probably trying to figure out who tasted better while Frenzy bounced around the walls occasionally letting out a maniacal laugh while Atlasbreaker watched him.

Raycaster turned his focus back to Pinkie. He cleared his throat and stood up straight.

      “Very well. If you wish to join the pack, you shall go hunting to prove your worth. Bring back one deer carcass before sunrise. I shall send Backdraft and Frenzy to watch after you.”

Backdraft sighed and got up. Frenzy paid no attention and continued bouncing off the walls. Pinkie seemed to keep glancing back at Frenzy. The black and pink wolf was going to get along great with her. They were both energetic and random. Pinkie bounded out the cave with her friends while the two wolves followed closely behind, making sure that the newcomers would play by the rules.

Half an hour later...

Pinkie was bounding behind Fluttershy. Her puffy mane bounced around as she bounced along the path. Backdraft lazily followed them. He didn’t seem very fast. Frenzy on the other hand was zipping from tree to tree, not touching the ground below him at all. Pinkie watched as he zipped from a couple of trees and ended up beside her. Walking along casually. He seemed to have lost his energy but he was still twitching.

      “Hi there!” Pinkie said with a smile

Frenzy had an insane look on his face, he was still twitching, he laughed like a maniac every five minutes.

      “What’s up?” Frenzy said in incredible speed

      “Oh nothing. just wanted to talk is all. My name’s Pinkie Pie.”

      “Name’s Feeding Periclymus Frenzy. My family calls me Feeding Frenzy, my friends call me Frenzy.”

      “So, do you like parties?”

Frenzy’s insane demeanor immediately died down. He refused to look at Pinkie, he stared at the ground but he kept walking.

      “I’ve never been to one before. Nor has anybody thrown me a party.”

      “What about the others? Atlasbreaker? Backdraft? Raycaster? Covert? Kenshin? Can’t they throw you one?”

      “Raycaster’s too serious for any form of festivities, Atlasbreaker’s too busy training or hunting, same goes too Backdraft except he’s usually too lazy to go, Covert is usually too shy and Kenshin’s too busy being a sissy.” Frenzy said in disgust

      “But they’re your friends!”

      “Friends don’t exactly describe them. they’re like-”

Just then a deer zipped by, Backdraft was on the back of the deer, his claws dug deep into the animal. As he passed by, Pinkie could hear him cursing and swearing as the deer continued bounding, zipping in and out of the trees. Twilight and the others were much too terrified to move, save for Rainbow Dash who was hot on it’s heels.

      “You- oh right.” Pinkie said, suddenly losing her cheerful attitude

      “I know. I hate hunting just as much as you. I never scratch, claw or bite. Unless I have to protect myself, or defend something I like.”

Pinkie found herself taken aback by this sudden statement. Wolves had cemented their status as killers, savages. So it was quite the surprise when Frenzy told her that he despised hunting.

      “But you’re a wolf, you’re supposed to hunt and kill.”

      “That doesn’t mean I have to like it.” Frenzy snapped

Pinkie and Frenzy watched as Backdraft and Rainbow Dash continued wearing the animal down. Rainbow Dash was surprisingly unfazed with the killing of animals.

      “Hey Backdraft! It might be a little more effective if you actually try and ATTACK the deer instead of humping it.” Frenzy yelled

      “If you think it’s so easy, why don’t ya’ reschedule ya’ date and come on over and give me a paw!” Backdraft growled

      “Nah. Your girlfriend is a much better hunter than I am.”

A few minutes passed, Backdraft continued attacking the animal, Rainbow Dash was still on the attack, biting the legs and sometimes the neck.

      “Then why don’t you stop?” Pinkie asked

Frenzy stared at her with eyes filled with sadness. He sighed and continued talking.

      “Have I ever told you about my uncle?”

      “Nope.”

      “Well, he lived on Pandora. He’s alien-ish. He died when a bus of vault hunters ran over him.”

      “Oh...”

      “He lived by a simple motto. There ain’t no rest for the wicked. There couldn’t be another line that describes my life as correctly as this one.”

Frenzy sighed deeply and sat down. Staring at the ground. He seemed so much more different now, he seemed sad, alone and just so pitiful. Not how you’d usually describe an insane wolf. Pinkie turned her attention back to the carcass of the deer. Backdraft and Rainbow Dash were arguing. Probably over who was the better hunter.

Twilight and the others were stunned. Fluttershy had fainted long before the deer died.

      “Well, looks like you passed the test.” Frenzy said half heartedly

      “But we didn’t do anything.”

      “The test was that you had to bring back the dead body of an animal. You girls managed to do so. It means we can at least co-exist with you.”

      “Oh.”

      “So, welcome to the pack. Hope you like pain and misery.” Frenzy said half-heartedly

Pinkie was about to protest and say that joining the pack was gonna be fun until a roar was heard. Frenzy shot up, he was on alert mode. He scanned the surroundings. Pinkie Pie looked around and found out that they had lost their friends. Frenzy was about to say something until a full grown manticore burst out of some vegetation, roaring it’s head off.

      “Are you fucking kidding me?!” Frenzy said Next Chapter: Controlled Frenzy Estimated time remaining: 48 Minutes
