     Applejack opened her eyes, her room was awfully bright. She walked out of her room and went to the dining room. This time it was sunflower sandwiches. She took her sandwich and ate it all in one bite but she was still hungry, hungrier than ever before… She remembered that since there was a monster in her cellar, she has to make sure that it was still there, when she walked outside she saw a one of the pigs, it looked more, appetizing, than usual. She tried to ignore it but she just couldn’t shut it out. Before she burst at the pig she heard, crying? She couldn’t believe her ears but she knew it was coming from the cellar. She opened the cellar doors and entered, she saw that all the damage to the cellar from last night’s fight were still there, now she knew that it wasn’t a dream. She headed over to the source of the crying and saw, Track, locked up and chained to the wall, scratches and dents could be seen on the wall, like a dog that had rabies was stuck in there last night.
“Track? What in tarnation are you doing in here?” asked Applejack. Track turned around and stopped crying. 
“What did it do?”
“Excuse me?”
“The thing you fought last night, WHAT DID IT DO??”
“I don’t know, all I know is that I fought it and managed to lock it up right in this here cell, 
“Wait, you can see me?”
“As clear as day.” said Applejack.
“But the lights aren’t on…” said Track. Applejack turned around and noticed that the light switch was still in the off position. She turned back and noticed she could still see perfectly. Yet it was pitch-black.
“WHAT IN TARNATION HAS HAPPENED TO ME?!?!?” screamed applejack as she sat down, looking at her hooves.
“Oh no, please tell me that thing didn’t bit you!”
“What, something wrong?”
“I was hoping this wouldn’t happen, Applejack, I need you to listen to me…” said Track grabbing the bars in the cell with his hooves.
“Shoot.”
“You’re not safe. And until your cured neither is your family.”
“Now why would you say that?” asked Applejack
“Because your part if it’s pack now, and his pack won’t stop getting bigger unless I find a way to stop him.” said Track.
“I just have one question. How did you get chained up?”
“I don’t want to say.” said Track as he turns around again.
“Tell me, I saw it in your eyes, it’s very important.”
“No.”
“Why won’t you tell me?!” questioned Applejack
“Because I can’t.” Track firmly stated
“WHY?!?” 
“BECAUSE THAT THING WAS ME!!!” screamed Track as his devilish yellow wolf eyes flashed for a few seconds. Applejack slowly backed away.
“No,” said applejack, “your too nice to be it!”
“Listen, I want you to do me one more favor, Get me to…. Twi……..light…” Track said as he hit the ground, unconscious. Applejack stared in horror at his unconscious body… And flashes of memory of that thing lying there just flashed before her eyes, and she could recognize the cent. It WAS the same pony. She decided she needed to get them both to Twilight.
The door to Twilights house burst open.
“TWI’? ARE YOU IN HERE?” yelled Applejack. She walked down stairs and came to a dark room, with Twilight sitting in front of a television screen, on it was footage of Track turning into that beast, Twilight was observing it and trying her best to understand this but she didn’t get any of it. There were books and papers all over the walls and floor. And her mane was a wreck.
“Twilight, what in Tarnation are you doin’?” said Applejack.
“Applejack?” said Twilight as she turned around. She galloped toward her and hugged her like she hadn’t seen her in years.
“Oh thank goodness you ok…” said Twilight, she realized Track was on her back and backed away. “Why did you bring that… that THING here?”
“Because he needs your help. And so do I.” said Applejack. Twilight’s eye twitched.
“WHAT?! BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS THE ENEMY!!!” said Twilight.
“He is, but he’s also our friend.”
“Now how does that make since?” questioned Twilight.
*Groan*
“Track’s waking up! Maybe he could shed some light on the subject.” said Applejack.
“Ugh, god I have a headache… Twilight…. You’ve got to listen to me.”
“I’m listening.” said Twilight
“Applejack’s infected, and until we find a cure for it. PONYVILLE IS IN DANGER.” said Track
“Why?” question Twilight
“Because, you saw me turn into that thing, and if you get bitten…”
“What happens if you get bitten?” asked Twilight.
“Well, you become part of its pack, and you turn into one of those things along with it.”
“THAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME?!?!” screamed Applejack in horror
“Yes, and unless we find a cure for you, you will continue to.” said Track. Applejack just sat there, and a tear rolled down her cheek. She could just see, her, a monster, tearing apart her family, limb from limb. She hit the floor covered her eyes, and continued to sob, repeating the word: Why?
“There, there, we’ll find a cure for you, as fast as we can.” said Track, as he gently patted her back. He looked up and stared Twilight.
“You see what that thing can do to you, now, in the name of Celestia, help me help her.” said track as he continued to stare at Twilight.
“But what about you Track?” said Twilight.
“I’m the only one who could possibly confront this thing so I stay the way I am, you just have to lock me in some type of cage during the night time.”
“The only possible thing that could keep you locked up with that type of strength is in Princess Celestia’s castle.” said twilight.
“Then we better head over there now, because in a few hours the sun is going to set.”
“Then I better alert the princess.” said Twilight.
At the princess’ castle, Princess Celestia receives a letter from Twilight
“Oh, look, it’s a letter from Twilight… I wonder what it could be this time.” said Princess Celestia unrolling the scroll. She read for about 30 seconds. Once she finished she walked out of her room and alerted the guards. 
“I want you to make the strongest cell in your power, we have something with un-pony like strength coming. May luck be on your side,”
said Princess Celestia. The Guards did everything in their power to make a cell as strong as ever created. And once they finished they needed to stand guard of it. 
“This is the strongest case we have ever faced. I want you to be ready for anything sister.” said Princess Celestia as she and her sister got ready for the arrival of Track.
“The dark one is coming…?” questioned Princess Luna. Princess Celestia only nodded.
