Chapter 2

Deep within the Everfree Forest, there lives some vicious creatures. They aren't as large as timberwolves are, but they are just as powerful and as dangerous as they are. These creatures, some ravenous, man-eating wolves, werewolves, to be exact, have rarely ever been seen by anyone in Equestria. These wolves fend for themselves and maul and obliterate anything that comes near them, easily outrunning everyone that dares approaches them.

Princess Twilight Sparkle and her body have been laying out in the middle of a completely secluded area, one where nopony has ever been before. She's been here for just under a month now, completely unable to move. Perhaps this is what truly happens to us all when we die and depart from this sacred world. Nothing happens at all! Just a space taking body stuck here.

Twilight is only in this particular scenario because she was forced to do so. An epidemic was going throughout Ponyville, courtesy of, once again, Rainbow Dash, where everyone was becoming a blood sucking vampire pony, or vampony for short. Since this happened not to long ago, Twilight knew what to do; she knew what had to be done.

Since she herself was the head vampony, Twilight had to forcefully remove her from society and stop the epidemic and the transformation and deaths of innocent ponies. She told Spike that she loved him dearly, as well as everyone else, before flying off to save everyone from the madness. She jumped off the side of a cliff deep within the Everfree Forest and had committed suicide, though did manage to revert everyone back to normal, while also ceasing the dreaded vampony curse.

Not too long after that, Rainbow Dash also committed suicide because she couldn't live with the guilt and heartache of losing one of her best friends so abruptly. Rainbow Dash knew that Twilight's death was her fault, so she sought out to make things right. She thought that it wouldn't be fair for her to continue living while her greatest friend was dead, so she also removed herself from society by jumping off another cliff. "I love you Twilight Sparkle" were Rainbow Dash's last words before she had died.

Focusing on Twilight, though, her body had started to slightly decompose based off of how long she had been here. The smell was horrid to anyone who could sense it, but a couple of the creatures that surrounded the area found it breathtaking and addictive. A couple of them made shelter near Twilight's body and began guarding it. They made it their own property and defended it from anyone who dared try to steal the body.

Granted, the body was double the size of the creatures, the werewolves to be more specific, but they guarded it as if Twilight were their Queen. Timberwolves stood no chance against the werewolves and cockatrices fared no better.

One night, with a full moon high up in the sky, one of the werewolves began howling, slowly being followed by all the others. This particular werewolf was diseased and had rabies. This werewolf was near the brink of death and needed to pass along its life to another host, as infections generally do. Once this werewolf stopped howling, he took it upon himself to quickly find a new host body to pass along the infection while the other wolves continued howling up into the sky.

There were no other creatures of living beings nearby that didn't have this infection already. Nobody, but Twilight, that is. Without hesitation, the werewolf made a break for Twilight's collapsed body. The other wolves noticed this and started to attack the diseased wolf, trying to stop him before he sank his sharp canine teeth into Twilight's decomposing skin.

The diseased wolf was quickly surrounded by all the other wolves and, when they all jumped at him at the same time, the diseased wolf ran under everyone and drove his teeth into Twilight's side, right under her left wing, which was being used as a pillow for some of the other wolves. The diseased wolf tore off a bit of Twilight's skin and ate it whole! He then ran off into the dark, mystifying forest alone, quickly being chased by all the other wolves.

Twilight's body was left all alone in the middle of the area in the middle of the night. Nobody came, nobody saw, nobody helped, nobody noticed. Twilight was left all by herself while the other wolves chased after the wolf that just took a bite of her. A few moments later, some screams and shouts of pain could be heard from within the forest, which caused a few birds to flee from the area, seeing how they were startled by the sudden screams.

Twilight's body - her wings, more specifically - began moving through the slight breeze that had picked up suddenly. The breeze brushed Twilight's wing above the hole in her body and laid it to rest there. A few short moments later, some blood had started dripping from the hole and onto Twilight's wing, ultimately dripping onto the cold dirt ground, drop by drop, slowly forming a puddle of blood, which continuously and surely grew to the diameter of a bike tire.

The wind picked up once more and shifted Twilight's mane, making it touch the puddle of blood an staining her gorgeous indigo mane. The wind picked up yet again and this time, it gently shuttered Twilight's eyelashes against each other.

The wolves were still out in the forest, probably mauling the diseased wolf that just ate a chunk of Twilight's skin, but the more they killed the diseased animal, the more things began happening to Twilight. Finally, when they had completed their mauling of the diseased wolf, Twilight's eyes had begun to slowly open. She felt dizzy and woozy, needing desperately to determine what exactly was happening right now. Her body had begun performing some unusual changes, increasing her height a bit and forming these unusual shaped hooves - furry hooves, if you will.

She found that her mane had increased several inches and was now flowing elegantly in the nighttime breeze, though this is something that never happened during the night with her mane the way it was. Her tail appeared to do the same, increasing several inches in length and, like her mane, began flowing through the air along with the gentle breeze of the night.

Twilight found some unusual strength all of a sudden and could finally stand atop her own furry hooves once more after laying on the ground dead for the last few weeks, close to a month, two months tops. She was fascinated by her newfound strength and took this opportunity to study her new body and features.

"What am I?" She asked herself, striking her gentle lips with her now sharp canine teeth, piercing them and causing it to bleed.

She heard some sounds coming from somewhere within the forest and began to shuffle backwards, until she began hearing the sounds come from behind her. Twilight shuffled to the center of the open area and tried flying out safely, but found herself to be too heavy with her new weight caused by her heavy fur. She frantically looked for a way out, but found nowhere to go.

Twilight Sparkle was trapped with no place to hide.
