//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: The Wolves in the Moonlight // by AppleJackSparrow //------------------------------// Instead of killing Twilight, the wolf just scratched her belly and pranced off. Twilight winced as the scratch was felt. As the wolf ran off, Twilight forced herself up and she watched. Twilight thought it would leave, but instead it grabbed hold of Spike-who wasn't supposed to be outside this late-and tore him to bits, causing high pain shrieks and screams. Twilight gasped and screamed, "Spike! Nooo!" But it was too late. The wolf had killed him. As the wolf ran away, Twilight lied on the ground, tears poring from her eyes. She forced herself up once again, and galloped towards her home. Inside her tree, the cozy fire burned. The puppy barked as she walked inside, and Twilight-still crying-gave her puppy a kiss on the nose. The puppy barked again. Twilight ignored her and studied a book. She flipped through the pages, stopping at one page. "Okay..." Twilight mumbled as she read. It said clearly: There are a such thing as Blood Wolves. These wolves will kill anything in their path. Be warned: their favorite food is dragons. Sometimes they are born when a Unicorn casts a certain spell, so be careful! That was all Twilight needed to hear. She faced her beloved puppy, struggling but sure. She aimed her horn at her, and she cocked her head, confused. Twilight shot the magic at the puppy, causing her to disappear. Spike walked from downstairs. "Twilight?" he asked. "What happened in HERE?" Twilight looked around, then back at Spike. "You're alive?!" she screamed at him. Spike tilted his head. "Uh... yeah?" Twilight gasped and leaped onto her friend. "I can't believe it! Oh my gosh!" Twilight walked outside. It was now sunny and bright, no wolves in sight. "I'm so glad, Spike," Twilight told her friend, "that you are alive. You have no idea what I've been through!" Spike grinned. "Cool, Twi."
