One week, one week had passed. He was furious, she had fooled him once, shame on her. Twice? Never not again.
Wolves were flightless, but even things with wings disturbed the soil. The town had too many ponies, but everyone went into the forest, sometimes.
The day was gone, the night had come. He could hear two voices outside the nearest entrance, the master pony, and the rainbow pony. They were arguing, whatever about, he couldn't care less. He was just waiting for them to leave. As soon as they did, he exited the forest, and headed towards orange pony's farm. Orange pony was taking care of the tortoise.
He was going to get the tortoise, one way or another. He headed for the barn, because he was going hide in it, until sundown. And he waited, until, rainbow pony came back to retrieve her pet. They talked for a minute, and then one of them turned around. This was his time to strike. He ran out of the barn at full speed, fully intent on getting the tortoise.
He grabbed the creature with his teeth, carrying it away. He heard shouts but, didn't stop;he knew who was shouting, it was the rainbow pony. He immediately started crunching on the shell of his captured foe. He started running into the everfree, without looking where he was going. This would end up with him running into a very large tree. He looked up to discover, that it had windows, and a door.
His best chance was to hide in the strange tree, so he broke a window, and climbed in. He didn't know who lived in this tree, but he wasn't asking. He hid under a table, making sure he had a firm grip on his tortoise. After a few minutes, he heard pounding on the door, followed by some words that he couldn't understand. Then, he heard some sobbing, which grew silent, as the pony walked away.
His heart felt heavy, and yet he couldn't understand why. He went outside the everfree and dug a hole. The next day, the rainbow pony found her pet in a hole, right under her house.
