//------------------------------// // into the everfree forest // Story: The Werepony // by Curly_Girl //------------------------------// It was a dark evening in the everfree forest there was a silent whisper of wind dragging between the trees, the timberwolves were wildly howling in the hills whorshipping there only god that shone brightly among the everfree forest. Rainbow dash was trotting threw town a shiver suddenly went down her spine she grew slum as she realized there was no pony around. Dash quickly covered her face with her cyan wings feeling a bit like fluttershy when she gets frightened by her own shadow, she heard a creak Rainbow squealed, " who's there"? With no thinking she quickly began to run as a shadowy figure was gliming off a wall as the moon was watching over ponyville. She ran and stopped near fluttershys cottage rainbow dash gasped, "finally the everfree forest" she began to trot towards the forest's entrance when she heared Fluttershy shout "RAINBOW DASH"!! A blur yellow object suddenly appeared in front of her fluttershy gasped, "why are you heading into the everfree forest at such a late hour"? ............ A long pause was added when fluttershy noticed rainbow dash staring at her mane as it shimmered and gleamed in the moonlight, short after Rainbow replied, "i'm just going to zecora's" Fluttershy with a look of concern stated, " i'm coming with you" Rainbow dash's eyes narrowed in anger and repling, " NO you can't...i... you can't"!!! "But why"? fluttershy presumed Rainbow stuttered, "uhg...you just... can't...it's...well..". Suddenly a swoosh of wind knocked fluttershy landing backwards with a thud and a streak of rainbow was slightly visibale lingering in front of fluttershy. Rainbow has taken off again leaving a worried yellow pegasus behind her. Rainbow dash thought,(why did i do that ugh i'm such a jerk!) in frustration rainbow lost grip of the air and her right wing cramped up sending a shot of pain up her side forcing her to land in a near by clearing. she stumbled a bit not wanting to land in the poison yoke from her previous episode of not being able to fly was a nightmare, The moon still glimered in the black night sky surrounded by tiny bright lights luna has out done herself again making another beautiful night. Attempting to flap her wings a spike of pain ran threw her side making her collapse to the ground whimpering in pain, she spotted a near by path which might be leading to zecora's. Quickly she remebered a trick from daring do's last book when she was flying over Ahuizotl's fortrest her wing had clipped and she was forced to use her surroundings to bandage injured wing. Rainbow gathered up some twigs and leafs and quickly bandaged her wing it wasen't no nurse red heart work but it would have to do for now then she trotted towards the path. As she was walking she took a minute to view her surroundings there were tall black trees with huge ugly looking face's carved in each one they all had a different face with different expressions with twisted twigs and branches intersecting every point on the tree. She noticed timg gloeing eyes hiding in dark patches surrounding her she then felt unease then and suddenly felt the urge to barf but suddenly gained awarness and seen a brightly decorated hut. Rainbow declared, " finally zecora's"! She thrusted towards the hut and waited for a black and white zebra, SNAP!!! rainbow quickly spun around fear falling over her again she began banging on the hut's door panicing then the hut's door opened rainbow dash flashed in before zecora could even greet the cyan pony. "Why in such a rush miss dash"? Rainbow dash was to embarresed to tell the zebra the truth thst she was actually scared "oh nothing...... just really eager to see you again.." there was a short pause before the zebra could respond. "Wat brings miss dash to my hut at such a late time"? " Your the only pony i trust.... to tell my secret to....." rainbow started to turn a rosey colour as she scratched the back of her head. "Well miss dash tell the black and the white what might your secret be"? Rainbow dash staggered at the question second guessing if she should of come here "well..... you know flutter's"? Zecora blinked, "yes why do you suggest that"? There was a long awkward pause before dash decided to spill the beans.... "i have a crush on fluttershy"! Zecora suddenly turned red with a confused look among her face she took a minute to think and regain her thoughts.... "my dear rainbow dash.. there is no need to hide a love feeling" Zecora winked rainbow put a confused look on her face "but you need to let the feeling out for fluttershy" Dash slumped on the ground her face now a dark shade of red "how"? rainbow replied. Zecora walked slowly up to rainbow dash putting a hoof and her shoulder "rainbow there is no need to be embarresed of a crush i am sure that fluttershy feels the same way..." putting a warm smile on Rainbow chined up and firmly hugged zecora she whispered in her ear, " thank you i knew you were the only pony i could trust" Zecora replied, "not a problem miss dash, now how about some spiced tea" rainbow nodded and they soon sat near the fire laughing a sharing stories while sipping on spiced tea... as the fire flickered in the dark room rainbow dash continued to stare with an unease look upon her face into her now cold cup of spiced tea.
