Fluttershy wearily looked around at her surroundings, her hoofs crushing the small leaves on the forest floor. Her ears where down and she gulped, shaking scared out of her wits. The everfree forest was not a place to be carefree about. There where wild animals in the forest, animals that would eat her without a second to spare. She had her stare but it didn't always work against the animals in the forest.
She decided to pay Zecora a nice visit but before she knew it was night time. Zecora had offered to walk her home, but Fluttershy didn't want to be a burden to the zebra so her polity declined, she was starting to regret it now, jumping at every little noise. Fluttershy whimpered slightly, her heart thudding painfully in her chest; she could hear it roar in her ears. A twig not too far away snapped causing her to jump and whimper.
Deciding that flying out of the forest may be her best bet; she unfolded her wings and took off at her normal pace. Before she was fully off the ground, something sprung up from the ground, she didn't get a good look at what it was. Before she knew it she was on the ground screaming in pain as the beast had her wing clamped in its mouth, writhing and twisting around on the forest floor, it seemed to be trying to break her wing off. Even in her pain she managed to get a good look at whatever was attacking her.
It was a snake like creature, bigger than the one that could turn you into stone. It's scales where a deadly black, it's eyes where a piercing strange orange color, with slits for pupils. Fluttershy let out a loud scream in pain as her wing twisted painfully to the side, no doubt it was now broken. Using all her strength she managed to buck the black snake off of her, it wasn't without pain, the snake took a few feathers and ripped the skin, fresh blood was already starting to ooze up spill, her yellow feathers soaking up the red blood.
Tears streaming down her face she got back up to her hooves and flapped her one good wing around uselessly. The snake hissed and went to strike at her again letting out a squeak she ran, the beast was faster, it gained up on her in no time snapping at her light pink tail. Turning back to look at the snake, she didn't see the root up above the ground and she got her hoof twisted in it and she fell on the ground. Her hoof twisted within the root, panic stricken now, she frantically moved her one hoof around hoping it would break free from the root's grasp.
The snake creature let out a hiss and stared at Fluttershy, the yellow pony let out a final sob and flapped her one good wing around hoping that maybe it would help her. The snake lunged at her, hissing wanting to finish her off, shutting her eyes she waited for the snake to strike her down or rip her throat out but it never came.
There was a loud noise, followed by a snort. Opening her teal eyes, she blinked and looked up. She saw a dull red colt standing in front of her, he had a big green apple on the side of his flank. It was Big Macintosh. The colt let out a snort and charged at the snake, he ran and bucked it with his hind hoofs sending the black snake flying somewhere in the forest. Fluttershy let out a soft whimper and tried to stand but her hoof was still entangled in the root. Big Mac turned to her and helped remove the root. "Easy their little filly, I'm no doctor, but that wing doesn't look too good" he said as helped her up. Fluttershy looked at the big red colt but couldn't find the words to say to him.
"Come with me, I'll help you with that wing" he said softly, he walked her back to her cottage, the silence, the pain in her wing growing to the point of being excruciating. Tears where streaming down her face as they walked, Big Mac looked down at her with a concerned look and a slight frown. It didn't take long for them to reach the cottage, Fluttershy opened the door, Angel hopped up to her, squeaking furiously at Big Macintosh waving his fist at the big red colt. Fluttershy just numbly walked pass the bunny and flopped down on her couch, the crooked wing ruffled and a rusty red color from blood. Angel hopped over to her and started to poke her, the only response he got was some soft movement in her good wing.
Big Mac stepped into the small cottage and looked at the wounded Pegasus, knowing he couldn't leave her in the state she was in, he decided it would be best to look around for some sort of first aid kit, with all the animals she took care of their had to be at least one kit somewhere. While the white bunny poked Fluttershy, the red colt poked around the small kitchen hoping to spot one. He was in luck; he found one underneath the kitchen sink. Trotting over to the small pony, he took out a white gauze and gently wrapped it around the wounded wing.
Angel stopped poking Fluttershy and watched Big Mac closely making sure he didn't dare hurt Fluttershy even more than she was. Finishing up, he placed the rest of the gauze in the first aid box and tossed it aside. Being cautious and careful, he hoisted the yellow Pegasus up on his back and carried her up to what he hoped was her room. Placing her down on the bed, he pulled the covers back, and placed her down, making sure she was tucked in her bed, he nuzzled her silently then turned and left the house. Once out he turned and looked back at the small cottage and smiled, he would take on all of ponyville if it meant that filly's safety.
