Rarity was scared. She wanted this over with so she could just change back into a pony and continue living her average life as usual. But now, she’s forced to live the life of a predator. To hunt, fight and kill instead of staying inside her safe boutique, away from the forces of nature. She would have to go for days without make-up, absolutely nothing.

The only good side to all of this was Kenshin. He seemed to be the cleanest wolf there and it was only natural that she chose him. Rarity walked along with Kenshin as he made his way through the woods. It actually wasn’t as dense once you got deep into it.

      “So, remind me, what exactly are we doing again?”

      “The pups always break into fights. Up to me and Covert to break ‘em up.”

      “Why you and Covert?”

      “Well, because Frenzy would make things worse by creeping them out until they’re forced to hug each other for comfort, Atlasbreaker would probably kill one of them instead of resolving the issue just to make it simple, Raycaster’s too busy and Backdraft would probably declare martial law.”

      “Oh.”

Rarity kept quiet and only followed her senior. He didn’t look like much, but he had that kind of quiet power to him, like a coiled snake. He could strike at anytime. He held no scars, no bruises, no wounds, he was clean. Yet, Rarity couldn’t help but shake the feeling of malice she felt whenever she was near him.

      “So, do you ever go hunting?” Rarity asked

      “Oh hell yes.”

      “But- But didn’t the others say-?”

      “They said I couldn’t hunt, they didn’t say anything about me hating it.”

      “Then how do you hunt?”

      “Hiding in the shadows, silently waiting for the perfect time to strike. Saves me all the energy and time. Who wants to get all bloody anyways?”

      “Oh.”

      “It certainly saves me the trouble from getting the twigs and leaves off my coat. And don’t even get me started on the mud.”

Rarity found this topic quite relatable. Being the only fashionista in Ponyville, her friends would usually tease her about being obsessed with her image.

      “I know! People simply don’t understand how hard it is to maintain the smoothness and the texture.”

      “Exactly! They say a simple brush will do. Ha! If only they knew.”

The two white wolves continued discussing the proper ways of hygiene, the best way to remove mud, and during the course of that, they found out that they had a lot more in common. They were soon interrupted by the sound of two voices clearly arguing.

      “*sigh* These hooligans truly can’t get along for even a minute.”

Kenshin walked towards the sound of the argument. It became much more audible as they approached the two wolves. One of the voices was clearly a she wolf.

      “I’m telling you Alekusu! Werewolves are real!”

      “You’re in over your head Asfrasle. They’re just old and fake mythology. Did I mention you have a strange name?”

      “Shut up. But seriously think about it, they can stand on two legs, have huge claws, can tear things apart, have incredible strength and have no weaknesses!”

Alekusu was black and fiery yellow. Apparently he loved to argue. His new victim was a slim black wolf with a green zig-zag running down his side.

      “They can be killed by silver.”

      “Well, yea. I mean my day would be messed up too if you stabbed me in the eye with a silver fork..”

      “*sigh* When will you learn?”

      “I’m dead serious!”

      “I don’t care how serious you are! You’ve gone completely insane!”

      “I’m tellin’ ya, they’re out there.”      

Kenshin cleared his throat. The two wolves stopped arguing. Kenshin raised an eyebrow. The two wolves hung their heads. Not daring to look up. They slowly walked away, heads hung low. Kenshin sighed.

      “I wish my brethren would just stop quarreling. Everynight I have to come out and resolve problem after problem. It’s really starting to get tiring.”

      “What do you guys do anyways?”

      “Well, we pro-”

Kenshin was cut short by a wolf that burst out of the clearing and crashed into him. Kenshin groaned as the big blue and black wolf rose off the ground. Seemingly unfazed.

      “Hehe.” Backdraft chuckled

      “Not. Cool.” Kenshin groaned

The blue wolf helped his white friend up to his paws. Soon enough Rainbow Dash to came out.

      “Rainbow! What a delight to see you.” Rarity exclaimed

      “Rarity? didn’t expect to see you here.”

The two girls stood aside while their seniors too decided to stop for a chat.

      “So how is your senior? He seems like a nice fellow.”

      “Yea he’s pretty awesome. Yours?”

      “Simply delightful! He taught me so many new things! He told me how certain leaves could keep your-”

      “Well, sounds like you two are going to be the best of friends.”

      “Well great minds do think alike.”

The two she wolves continued chatting. Eventually both had to part ways. Rarity and her senior Kenshin continued tromping through the woods. Kenshin suddenly stopped and looked up. He had a big goofy grin as he pointed a paw at the top of a nearby cliff. On the cliff stood two wolves that were barely visible.

Raycaster and Twilight.

      “Awww, Ray Ray really does have a soft side to him! And all this time I thought he was just an emotionless machine.” Kenshin chuckled

      “Is that Twilight? I didn’t think she was one for romance.”

The two showed no signs in attraction towards one another but even just the thought of his stone cold pack leader near a she-wolf, in such a romantic spot such as a clifftop illuminated by the moonlight was enough to plaster a smile on Kenshin’s face.

      “I’ve been waiting SO long to see this.” Kenshin said

      “Doesn’t happen very often, does it?”

      “Once in a blue moon!”

Rarity watched as Raycaster continued talking to Twilight. They weren’t exactly kissing or cuddling but just the thought of seeing more of them together was enough to convince Rarity that being a wolf had it’s share of ups and downs. Next Chapter: Dark Knights Estimated time remaining: 25 Minutes
