	I was hurt. Hurt at the world. I knew there was nobody to turn to. Even Twilight who was one of the nicest ponies I know. Laughed at me.

Hurt.

I sat down on the street and cried. Hard. I decided to go to Zecora's. Maybe she had heart's desire to make all my problems go away. I knew it wasn't likely but I had to try. As I ventured deeper into the woods I heard howling.

Timberwolves.

I knew at once what they were. Everypony knows. I saw 5 sets yellow eyes staring at me through the thick brush. I started to panic as they circled me snarling. I flew up higher with them still in a circle under me. Suddenly one of them jumped up and tried to bite me. I panicked and flew up.  I didn't even see when my right wing smashed into a branch.

I spiraled down and down my left wing still beating. I finally landed in some bushes. By now the Timberwolves have seen me. I backed away slowly. My right wing still hurting like crazy. Then I RAN.

I ran like crazy all the way to the edge of the wolves looking back. The wolves slowly grew tired and went away. I was so focused on the wolves I didn't realize when I smacked my head against a tree branch.
