//------------------------------// // True Intentions // Story: Lone Wolf // by Bronyraptor26 //------------------------------// “Sup.” I said Rarity didn’t think highly of it. “When addressing a lady you do not say “sup” you say hello or good afternoon or nice to meet you.” Rarity said before she called Sweetiebelle. “Now lesson one how to behave around a lady.” She said. “Rarity, do I have to?” the white unicorn whined. “Sweetiebelle, yes now introduce yourself.” Rarity said. “Hi my name is Sweetiebelle.” The white unicorn said. “Hi my name is Howler.” I said painfully, being civilized just wasn’t my thing. “Nice to meet you.” Sweetiebelle said. “Alright now to teach you how to behave at dinner, Sweetiebelle could you go change into that dress I laid out for you?” Rarity said cheerfully. “Okay.” Sweetiebellle said as she ran upstairs. “Now to get you dressed up.” Rarity said as she looked at me with a puzzling look I assumed she was trying to figure out what I would look best in. “No, no, no I prefer what I’m wearing thank you though.” I said “To bad I have for the next two hours so here put this on.” Rarity said as she handed me a suit. At least it was black was all I could think of it. “Fine.” I said. A few minutes later Rarity has dinner ready and Sweetiebelle came downstairs. “Thanks big sister for the dress.” Sweetiebelle said this at first shocked me and took five seconds for me to process this before it made sense, and I felt like an idiot for thinking Rarity was her mom. “Alright dinner’s ready.” Rarity called out it was fancy to say the least but there was one problem no meat. “Uhh what am I suppose eat?” I asked “What do you mean?” Rarity asked. “Werewolf remember, you know what never mind.” I said as Sweetiebelle and I took our seats. “Howler you should pull out a ladies seat for her.” Rarity said before walking out I assumed she was seeing what I do know and didn’t know so she could prepare herself for tomorrow. “What’s it like when you change?” Sweetiebelle asked. “What do you mean?” I asked “Does it hurt?” Sweetiebelle asked. “yes, why are you so curious?” I asked the wheels in my head began to turn and I put two and two together. “I just want to know what is it like to be a werewolf?” Sweetiebelle asked “Twilight put you up to this didn’t she.” I said “Yeah but Rarity was in on it to.” Sweetiebelle said trying to sound innocent. I got up, changed back into my usual clothes and left. I went to the mansion I used to live and went inside. I didn’t want to be some science experiment; the good news was that I had all my stuff with me. I stayed there for five days, in those five days I didn’t go to school or into town. On the sixth day I went into town which turned out to be a big mistake. “Howler, where have you been?” Twilight said as she spotted me in the market but I ignored her and continued walking along. “Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been and not to mention all the research that was lost.” Twilight said I thought that she needed to realize I wasn't some science expirment. “I’M NOT YOUR SCIENCE EXPIRMENT SO STOP TREATING ME LIKE SOME FREAK. YOU’RE NO BETTER THAN MY PARENTS OR THE PONIES AT SCHOOL WHO PICK ON ME. I DON’T CARE WHAT CELESTIA TOLD YOU YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME. SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.” I yelled. Twilight was speechless and everypony was looking at us but I didn’t care I made my point and ran off. I went into the forest and climbed up into a tree. Twilight followed me though and flew up to where I was and sat on the branch next to me. “Howler.” Twilight said while trying to act and sound motherly but it was obvious she didn't know what to say to me. I covered my head in my lap, she moved closer to me but she turned away and flew back down. “Howler I don’t think of you as my experiment I think of you like a pony that is just misunderstood and needs help.” Twilight said before she left. When I climbed back down it was night time, I thought about what Twilight had said, but I didn’t need any help I was fine with being a werewolf. I started to walk towards the town, until I heard rustling and growling from the bushes. I turned around there was a timberwolf four time the normal size standing over me. I ran underneath it, I was too afraid to turn around and see if it was behind me. All of the sudden there was a large burst of light and the timberwolf was gone in it's place was a pile of ash. “Howler you have a talent that few ponies will ever appreciate or understand.” The figure said as it walked through the smoke. It had holes in its arms and legs, its horn was shaped like a lightning bolt, it had fangs, and bug like wings she looked familar but I couldn't figure out why. “Who are you?” I asked. “I am Queen Chrysalis.” She said commandingly. I thought about where I had heard that name before when it hit me, she was the one who had tried to invade Equestria during some wedding. “What do you want from me?” I asked as I backed up to a cliff I had nowhere to run. “I simply want to help you with your problem. I might not be able to turn you back to a pony but I can certainly help you be respected and loved.” Chrysalis said she wanting to help me I thought somepony was pulling a prank on me. “What makes you think I want your help?” I asked while trying to find a way out of there. “I’ve seen the way they treat you. They laugh at you, use you like some lab rat, and I think its rather unfair. A pony like you should be treated like royalty. Like werewolves once were, all I ask in return for my help is for you to help me.” Chrysalis said. To tell the truth it was sounding pretty good. Especially if it meant that the ponies who picked on me would finally get what they deserved. “What do you need me to do?” I asked thinking of all the ponies who wronged me. “Simple put one of these bugs into each of Twilight’s friends’ gala dresses along with hers and put one on Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Shining Armour’s at the gala. Then you will be awarded.” Chrysalis said as she handed me a jar of blue worms that glowed green. I put them in my bag and ran off towards the library. The Gala wasn’t for a week which gave me time to sneak them in but I would have to come up with a plan. “I’m back.” I yelled as I entered the library. “Howler you came back, anyways Princess Celestia wants you to attain the gala with us so she can see how you are progressing.” Twilight said as she put down a book she was reading this was perfect I'll just slip them in at the gala I thought. “Okay.” I said. “But first you need to learn from Rarity how to behave at the gala. You’ll start your lessons again after school tomorrow.” Twilight said as I walked upstairs and hid the jar outside the window, in a hole in the tree branch that was right by it. I went to school the next day, much to the surprise of the class and Miss Cheerilee. I sat down in my usual spot and began thinking of a way to sneak the larvae into the gala and in the dresses. A few hours later in was lunch time, I sat alone like normal. I had my lunch out which was a fish I had caught last night after twilight went to bed then Snips and Snails came along and knocked it on the ground. “Hey where have you been wolf boy?” Snips asked in a mocking tone that annoyed me beyond belief. “I was sick.” I said as I tried to scavenge what I could from my lunch. “With what rabies.” Diamond tiara chipped in as she walked over with Silver Spoon and Scootaloo. “You know what wolf boy maybe just had fleas.” Scootaloo said. “Or tape worms.” Silver Spoon said. They started laughing at me, but for once I didn’t care they would see soon just how wrong they were to mess with me. So I got up from the table and went to the other side of the field. Sadly they just followed me, which began to get very annoying after the first five minutes. “Stop following me.” I said in a harsh voice just short of a growl. “Sorry we only listen to normal ponies.” Diamond tiara said. We continued this pattern till lunch ended then it was back to the class room. After school I went by Rarity’s to be taught on how to behave at the Gala. “Alright lesson one, at the Gala it is custom to wear something nice so first we need to get you into some fancy clothing.” Rarity said as she began working on something, I could see the gala dresses in the background but in order to complete my objective I needed to get Rarity out of the room for a while. “Alright I’ll be right back I just need to go get something from upstairs.” Rarity said as she walked upstairs. I quickly seized the opportunity to put the larvae into the dresses. A few minutes later I was finished and Rarity came back down. We continued with the lessons for what seemed like forever I had never been so bored in my life. Finally it was time to leave, I went home and fell asleep while Twilight couldn’t stop talking about the gala evidently this was its 100th anniversary, but I didn’t really care to much about it. The next day I went to school, instead of picking on me the class was picking on the three fillies. I don’t know why, but I had to do something. “Stop it.” The white unicorn whined, but her voice squeaked towards the end which only seemed to worsen things for her. “Hey leave her alone.” The orange pegasus said “Why do you care, do you have a crush in her?” Diamond tiara taunted. “Why do ya?” the yellow earth pony said. “Oh shut up you filthy earth pony.” Snips said the entire class bursted out laughing, I could see their eyes start to water, and that they were trying not to cry. “Hey leave them alone.” I said as I got up on my desk. “What’s it to you wolf boy?” Diamond tiara said. “Yeah this doesn’t involve you.” Snails said. “To bad I said cut it.” I said “Whatever wolf boy what are you going to do eat us.” Snips said “I might.” I responded. Just the Miss Cheerilee walked in and put a stop to what was going on. Lunch came around and the three fillies came over to my table, which I thought was odd. “Howler right.” The yellow earth pony said I nodded. “We just wanted to say thank you for helping us.” The orange pegasus said. “Why do you always sit by yourself?” the white unicorn asked “Because I like being alone.” I said “Well then how are you going to make any friends?” She asked “I don’t know.” I said “I almost forgot to introduce ourselves my name is Applebloom, this is Scootaloo, and this here is Sweetiebelle.” The yellow earth pony said as she gestured to her friends. The lunch bell rang and we headed back to class. The rest of the day seemed to be very boring and last forever. Soon it was time to go home, Twilight came and picked me up from school and we headed home. She told me that tomorrow I was going to have to stay with one of her friends named Fluttershy after school.
