Though I haven't really gotten a lot of views/ reviews, I'm updating it anyway, in hopes of more viewers. This chapter is both weird, and uneventful. It's considerably shorter than the first, but oh well. Hope you enjoy it anyway.
This deep in the woods, sun just touched the ground, giving it a faint glow. This of course, didn't bother WildHeart. She loved the dark woods, just like any old Timberwolf. It didn't hurt her eyes as bad as the edges of the woods did. No, here in the deep woods, you could see more clearly. Here, the grass didn't grow normally. It grew in weird patches wherever the sun was, and moved with it. WildHeart had always grown up here. Just her and Oak. Alone.
The reasons for their not living with the other Timberwolves was a mystery to WildHeart, Oak never really went into the details, and WildHeart stopped pestering after a while. She eventually assumed that it was because of something like eating out of turn, or going into the encroacher world unaided. Again, she never really thought about it.
Enough thinking. She thought. She needed to go back to hunting. She was on the trail of a rabbit. All rabbits had a grassy-earth-fishy scent to them (where the fish came from, no one knew). This one was no different. Suddenly, WildHeart heard something, her ears swiveled towards the sound. It was the rabbit. It had made the mistake of going past the leaf wall (again, no one knew where that came from). WildHeart licked her sharp, pointed teeth. She had this rabbit trapped.
Slowly, she inched towards it. So slowly, that it felt like hours. Sometimes it took hours to catch a rabbit. They were flighty and moved at the slightest rustle of the leaves. Served them right when everything was against them. From the small stantipede to the mighty dragon, they all ate rabbits. It was a fact of life. WildHeart and Oak were no exceptions. Rabbits were the easiest thing to catch.
As WildHeart neared the rabbit, she smelt a new smell on it, on that was foreign to her. It smelt like cakes, and flowers. Most rabbits smelt wilder, but this didn't. It smelt like it lived outside the forest. In the land of light. WildHeart flinched at this smell, breaking her concentration. She accidentally stepped on a tiny twig, which under normal circumstances, wouldn't have mattered. Sadly, due to the quietness of the forest, the rabbit heard it. It fled like a bolt of lightning.
Giving up her stealth, WildHeart gave chase. She was faster than most Timberwolves. She could chase down a rabbit with ease, she just preferred stealth. The rabbit was surprisingly smart. It tried putting itself in odd corners and holes, but WildHeart knew these tricks. She managed to trap the rabbit in a corner. The rabbit gave her a pleading look. It looked so sad, but WildHeart was used to these eyes. Every Timberwolf pup that did this to her furthered her resilience to these eyes. The rabbit, seeing its hopelessness let out a little squeal. WildHeart killed it with a quick bite to the throat.
As soon as it was dead, she felt a strange wave of something wash over her, coming from the rabbit. Something like love, but slightly different. She doubled nearly fell back from the force of it. This never happened before, why now? What was so special about this rabbit? She slowly crawled to the rabbit, the wave too strong to allow her to walk. She saw a strange little piece of metal on the rabbit's neck that showed an angel on it. Thinking this to be the source of this wave, WildHeart grasped it with her teeth, and threw it as far away as she could. Sure enough, the wave stopped. Confused, but hungry, WildHeart picked up the rabbit in her teeth and started out towards hers and Oak's house.
Meanwhile, back in Ponyville…
"ANGEL!? WHERE ARE YOU?! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!" A distressed Fluttershy nearly screamed.
Yeah, I never really like Angel anyways. Stay tuned for more!
