Now the fun begins.
I finally wake up, my eyes adjusting to the sudden darkness.
I look around, and my face tries to smile. I'm in Everfree Forest, which means that Princess Luna actually was Princess Luna. It was really dark, probably 10:00 PM.
But my smile is instantly torn from my face, as I hear the growling in front of me.
I look up to see a timber-wolf, his eyes looking ready to eat dinner. He walks up to me, doesn't run, and I thought it was my last time alive.
I close my eyes, and wait for the inevitable.
I could feel his mouth grab onto the skin on my back, but then I feel myself get lifted up off of the ground. I opened my eyes a little, and found myself as a pony. Not a surprise at all.
I was being taken somewhere, that much I knew. A lot of other timber-wolves were on the left and right of me, all not moving an inch, their eyes only following me.
I never looked up, I didn't want to see what was ahead.
"Drop him."
I knew that voice, the voice I've waited so long to hear again. I hit the ground hard, and looked up.
There was Galen's favorite OC, Timber. The genetically mutated pony: half pony, half timber-wolf.
It was the inside of him that was mutated: It was solid wood. His body a brown coat with a red pattern on it that you could easily tell was blood. He had no mane or tail. He was an earth pony, really buff yet skinny. He also had those big dragon eyes. His fangs were intimidating, and so were his dark orange eyes with no pupils.
"Explain yourself. NOW!"
I slowly got onto my four legs, and stared at him. "Galen, it is you!"
His eyes went wide, but he doesn't move an inch.
"I know that voice anywhere, but... Bret."
I nodded my head, and he slowly walks forward, scanning every inch of my body.
I embraced him, some tears staining my eyes. He didn't embrace back however.
I backed away, and he smiled.
"It is you." Timber said.
He howled, literally howled, and the wolves howled in unison. It was eardrum shattering, but I did nothing about it. Only watched.
"Come on, we need to get food in you in order to survive."
Then he speaks in some weird language, and Princess Luna comes out of the crowd.
"You watch him while we look for food. THE HUNT IS ON!"
All the wolves howled again, and then they followed him into the wolves, at least one-hundred of them. Some stayed back to look over the kids. Princess Luna puts a hoof over my shoulder.
"When Timber told me about you, I had to see if you wanted to come. How do you feel?"
My eyes still had a tear in it, "The best in an entire year. Thank you."
I embraced her, which really surprised her, but she did hug back, slowly and carefully. She started to stroke my mane.
"Your quite welcome Bret, or should I say Storm Fly. Timber was starting to get depressed, missing his Earth friends. And I saw you were miserable as well."
You then heard a large screech come from the woods, the exact direction Timber went. Luna looked worried as well, and looked down at me, seeing as she was a whole head taller than me.
"Get on my back, we'll hover over the area."
I quickly got on, and wrapped my hooves around her waist, holding on tightly. She soared into the air, and flew over the area.
You could see the wolves surrounding an Ursa Minor, bigger then all of them combined. And then you could see Timber jumping from side to side, taunting it.
"Your friend, the fastest pony I've ever seen. And the most fearless. An amazing fighter, watch this."
The Ursa brought down a paw, but he easily dodged it, and then jumps on top of it.
He runs up it, I'd say Rainbow Dash even after a sonic rainboom would have a hard time catching up. He then leaps onto his head, and starts slamming his hooves onto its skull. I mean slamming, like if you would get hit by a car at 25 miles per hour, that's the force of each hit.
The Ursa starts to scream, and you could soon hear the skull making cracking sounds. Then you see Timber shove his fangs into the top of its head. When he pulls it up, there's a large chunk of brain matter on it.
The Ursa's eyes turn into its head, and it falls, all the other wolves backing up to avoid getting squashed.
"He's ruthless, and puts everything before himself. The pack is his family, and he will go to any means to make sure it thrives. He's strong for a 10-year-old, and a tiny colt for that matter."
Then we could see a wolf run up to the kill, and Timber jumps on him, and shoves his fangs into his head. His fangs easily pierce the wooden skull, and the wolf instantly goes down.
He then growls, and speaks in that weird language again.
"What did he say?" I asked Luna.
"A warning: The kids always eat first, then the girls, and then our guests. After that, we get to eat. Anyone who tries to eat before that, will be killed without second thoughts."
All the other wolves nodded, and we flew down to Timber.
"Wow, that was amazing! Finally learned something from Military Channel eh?"
He shook his head, "Call it primal instincts."
Then the crowd opened up, and the kids, about 30 of them, ran up and stood in a line. The girls walked up to the carcass, and started to rip out chunks of meat from it. Then they lay them out in front of the kids, who started to dig in.
The girls than ripped open the stomach, and start to take out big chunks for themselves. It was really disgusting to watch, but Timber just smiled at the sight. He saw my queasy face, and laughed.
"You get used to it, I've been doing it for an entire year."
He then walks over to the dead timber-wolf, and drags it away from the others. He then picks up a lot of twigs, and sticks them in the holes in the head, where his fangs penetrated. Then he takes another stick, and sticks it in a hole as well.
He starts to move the stick back and forth, rubbing it between his hooves. He did it really fast, and soon the wolf's head starts glowing.
"You two may go and get a piece of meat."
I nodded, and followed behind Luna. A girl timber-wolf ripped out big chunks of meat for both of us, and we happily took it back to the fire.
So I do what Luna does, who puts a big rock on top of the burning corpse, and puts her meat on top of it to heat it up.
"Luna, could you please tell the men to only eat until they're satisfied. We'll save the rest."
Luna nods, and speaks in that language again.
The men nod eagerly, and then all dig in at once.
"What do you do with the bones?" I asked, curious.
"Carve them, those things are the closest thing to steel in strength that we can get. Make great weapons." Timber said with a smirk.
Luna then looks at me, and then Timber. "So Storm, you should probably go and find yourself a home in Ponyville, and a job. Maybe Timber could help you out."
She then picks up her piece of meat, and tears a chunk out of it with her teeth.
"I thought all ponies were vegetarians?" I said, surprised by the sight I witnessed.
"You can't really believe that, me and Timber here, and probably only us, are the only ponies that are omnivores. Besides, this meat tastes great."
I picked up my meat, and also teared a piece of it off. I had to admit, it did taste awesome.
A little girl Timberwolf, a piece of meat in her mouth, came over and dropped it next to Timber. She then laid down next to him, and nuzzled his neck.
"Thank you Sandra." Timber said, nuzzling back.
"Oh sorry, Luna, Storm Fly, this is Sandra, my daughter. Well I take care of her since her mom and dad died."
Then you could see his ears perk up, and he stood up. He rushed over to a tree, and pounced behind it.
"Get, off of me!" We heard.
Then you saw Timber pinning Celestia, her body now on the ground, Timber with a hoof pulling back both her front hooves, and a back hoof pushing up on her neck.
"Tell me why you were watching us, and I won't throw you into the fire."
"I was following my sister. I was wondering where she was escaping to for the past 6 months." Celestia said, knowing WAY better than to retaliate.
You saw him look over at Luna, who nodded, tearing another chunk of meat off, and chewing before swallowing.
He let Celestia go, "If you wanted to sit with us, you could have asked, and not have been a pedophile watching ponies way younger than you from behind a tree."
Now it went quiet, before I started bursting out laughing. If Sandra wouldn't have stopped me, I would have rolled into the fire in my fit of laughter.
Celestia just sat next to her sister, and watched as Luna took another bite from her thing of meat. Luna sees Celestia watching, and hands her the last of it.
"If you wanted to try it."
Celestia eyes it, before picking it up, and slowly sticking it into her mouth. She starts chewing, and then swallows.
"That's... not bad at all." Celestia said.
We all laughed, and then a male came up, and talked in its language. Timber spoke back, and then it nodded, running away.
"The pack is going back. You three can do whatever, I'm going to go sleep with my daughter. See you in the morning."
So Timber walked off into the woods, Sandra on his back, and I looked at Luna and Celestia.
"So Storm, you are more than welcome to come sleep in the castle in my room. We can discuss what to do in the morning, I'm pretty tired as well." Celestia said.
I was surprised. I just got here two hours ago, and I already got invited to sleep in the castle. Celestia's room no less.
"Okay." Was all I could think of saying.
So Celestia's horn glowed, and the fire was then extinguished. Then all three of us were teleported to the castle.
"Goodnight dear sister." Luna said, walking into her room.
Celestia then walked over to her room, me trailing behind.
I followed Celestia into her room, and she walked over to her dresser, removing all her regal cloths, like her tiara and all that.
Then she walked over to her bed, and got under the covers. She patted the spot next to her, "Come on, don't be shy."
So I slowly walked over to the bed, and got in as well.
Celestia then looks at me, and smiles. She creeps me out by wrapping her front hooves around me, maybe that pedophile idea wasn't far off.
So I do the only thing I could think of doing: snuggling into her, and doing the same thing.
She smiles, "Goodnight Storm."
"Goodnight Celestia."
Then we both fall asleep.
MOLESTIA! And also, Storm was totally out of character, since it is my friend's OC. He'll act the way he's supposed to next chapter.
STAY FROSTY!
