//------------------------------// // Training's cancled // Story: Fanged Feathers // by Fanged Rainbow //------------------------------// Chapter Four: Training's cancled Everypony gathered around Amethyst and listened to his tale, it turned out the The knights of the silver sun had joined forces with another hunting group, and how that they were currently in Ponyville. It was a disaster, and possibly the covens end If they could not fight back. Derpy turned to Rainbow Dash "Your going to have to leave, its too risky to stay in your current state, and its going too get to hectic to train here, and too risky. Rainbow Dash, you are to leave tonight under cover of darkness, and remember to get into cover before sunrise, at your age its going to hurt, a lot." Rainbow nodded at this and went to prepare her things, leaving the others to their business. However, while packing Rainbow Dash began to break down "Bitten by some stupid Vampony and now I'm forced to leave my friends behind, this is unbelievable!" Meanwhile on the surface hunters began to watch the sun set, determined to find the Vamponies, Lycans and any other supernatural living within the town... Rainbow Dash was in Derpy's house pretending to be ending a visit, when a hunter passed by giving the pair a distrusting glance."That's going to give me nightmares," Rainbow Dash mumbled when the hunter left earshot. After preparing everything and drinking a blood bag dry, out of sight, Rainbow Dash hovered at the edge of the Everfree forest, only to hear a familiar fillies voice calling to her. "Rainbow Dash, wait, where are you going?" Scootaloo called, causing Rainbow Dash to turn to the sound of the voice "You can't be leaving again already, can you?" Scootaloo continued. "Sorry kid, it's just to risky right now, this is for your own good," Rainbow Dash replied sadly. As Rainbow Dash left the town Scootaloo began to break down sobbing about her idol leaving her again. After a good half an hour or so Rainbow Dash had gotten hungry. "Stupid hunger, why can't I eat normal foods!" Rainbow Dash yelled angrily as her stomach continued to growl in hunger. Rainbow Dash began to wander aimlessly, she was hungry and alone. She had no where to go, Ponyville was too dangerous, so was this forest, she knew it. Rainbow Dash continued to wander, looking for shelter, but more urgently a meal she knew she would have to feed of an animal. She had no choice. She found her meal "Eh, a Timberwolf, should work," she groaned watching the prey she had found "Life is cruel, so very cruel." And Rainbow Dash lunged at the wooden canine, tearing through its neck into the sap it used as blood. It was disgusting, but blood non the less, so she drank it all, and hated every drop. Then Rainbow Dash felt a sharp pain, it was the rising sun, Rainbow Dash immediately ran into the shade, yawning she looked into the burning sunrise, and retreated further into the darkness of the forest. By the next night, after rumors had spread through the town, hunters were searching the forest, and one was close, so close Rainbow Dash could hear them "Come on out Vampony, I know your here somewhere," it was a male voice,it sounded irritated and tired. "Come on, lets go Eclipse, you can hunt Vamponies later," another voice called, it was a female voice, and was much more elegant than its owner's irritated companion. As the pair of hunters left earshot Rainbow Dash sighed, but unwittingly walked right into a trap, causing her to scream in agony as the unbearable pain surged through her rear leg, and dragging her straight to the ground. As her scream echoed throughout the Everfree forest it attracted the hunters attention. "Eclipse, I think we found one." The hunters gathered around the trapped Vampony, one of them paused and inquisitively asked her companions "This is an element of harmony, right? what's she doing here?" Rainbow Dash responded by glaring her teeth and attempting to grab the mare, but she was not quick enough as the mare glared angrily back at the Vampony. "Perhaps she could be of use," another said darkly, taking a rope from his saddle bag and slowly walking toward Rainbow Dash, and chukling "They called us crazy for believing the rumours, they were wrong," he added as he tied Rainbow Dash up. As he tied he noticed the fresh bite mark on Rainbow Dash's neck "Not even a week old are you," he started, tightening the rope as he did so. "Feel sorry for ya, I lost my sister to her best friend, stupid DJ had it coming though, sometimes I miss Vinyl though," as he continued he noticed Rainbow Dash was paying absolutely no attention. "Ya gonna listen to me?" "Nope," Rainbow Dash replied cheekily, looking for a way to escape. She found it. Biting into the hunters neck, forcing him to drop the rope as he screamed in pain Rainbow Dash broke the trap apart and ran, far, so very, very far. She hoped she had lost them, but she didn't check, not until she reached the other end of the forest. Bursting right into the Ghastly Gorge. As she fell Rainbow Dash desperately tried to lose momentum, but crashed into the bottom of the gorge, quickly followed by the mare hunter, who was unlucky enough to not be a Pegasus, causing her to meet an unfortunate fate. The groups unicorn, who has attempted to tie her skidded to a halt at the edge of the gorge, but the Pegasus, with a wooden stake at arms swooped down ready to kill Rainbow Dash, who took her only choice, fly to safety, but the hunter blocked her way, so she flew fast, so fast she created a sonic rainboom, swooping over Ponyville and crashing right into Canterlot Mountain. Luckily for her however she was a immortal that can only die from few methods, one of which was not crashing into mountains. However she did leave a trail to follow, which meant she had to move, and fast, so she flew to Manehatten, where she could easily hide.
