-Twilight-
Twilight suddenly smacked Starlight away with her wings with startling strength, the student crying out with surprise and pain as she landed a couple of yards away. The others backed away from the purple alicorn, Grohiik's words echoing in their minds.
Don't let the Princess bite.
Twilight gritted her teeth in agony, feeling them slowly sharpen into canine-like fangs. Oh, no, no, no! "Girls," she gasped through the pain. "R-run! Get to Canterlo-o-OT!" Her words ended in a scream as her bones started to crack and grow. "W-warn Princess -nngh!- Celestia!"
She didn't have to tell them twice. Twilight watched through tearful eyes as her friends ran to Canterlot as fast as they could go, while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy took off like rockets.
The Princess of Friendship was panting as the pain dulled for a few heartbeats, thinking. She could feel her mind slipping. What will happen if I find them after the transformation? She didn't have much time to think of an answer before the absolute agony of the spell resumed.
-Starlight-
Starlight felt like crying. She was so confused, so scared, and so angry. Even though the wingless of the Mane Six were pretty far away, Starlight thought she could still hear Twilight's screams.
"Starlight!" Spike called from behind her, yet she didn't acknowledge his voice.
"STARLIGHT!"
Starlight skidded to a halt, whipping around to face the others. "Come on! We have to get to Canterl-" She paused.
Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity and Spike were all panting, clearly exhausted. They've been sprinting as hard as they could for almost an hour.
"We need to stop." Rarity said. "I know we need to get to Celestia, but-"
The white unicorn was cut off as a terrifying howl split the cool, night air.
"W-w-what was that?" Pinkie whispered from her hiding place behind Applejack.
"I t-think it was…" Spike started, also from behind Applejack.
A hush fell over the group as a woosh was heard overhead, and a huge, dark shadow flew through the moonlight. They froze as a heavy thump was heard behind them. Deep, quiet growling was heard from the source of the thump.
Starlight slowly turned her head to face the beast. What she saw nearly made her pass out in terror. It was massive - almost twice the size of Big Macintosh. Fierce yellow eyes pierced the shadows it was standing in, illuminating some of the face. A long, wolffish snout was wrinkled, lips drawn back in a snarl. Huge canine teeth were dripping with drool. The lycan took a step out of the shadows, revealing a big paw with sharp, bear-like claws.
What really got to Starlight was the fact that the paw fur was a shade of dark lavender.
"…Twilight." Spike whimpered.
Twilight stepped fully out of the shadows, revealing her new form in the silver moonlight. There were some notable differences about her that the other werewolves didn't have - she kept her wings and horn. The horn lengthened to a wicked point, slightly curved upwards. Her wings were huge to compensate for her new size, still feathery though.
Starlight, without realizing it, pulled up a magical bubble around her and the others as soon as Twilight pounced at them. The former Princess slammed her paws against the blue aura, snarling with a primal rage.
"Okay." Starlight's voice broke. She cleared her throat. "Okay," she said firmly. She was about to say something else, maybe devise a plan, but…
"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!" Pinkie screamed.
