	It was the crack of dawn. The winter sky was brilliant orange, and the snow glistened with sun. Going hunting in the early morning was the only thing that soothed Twist's nerves.

After an unsettling night of sleep, Sweetie Belle was going to over plans with Twilight, So everypony else had to find something else to do. Babs and Scootaloo had plans on robbing the market, And the rest of the based where going on a search for any valuables to sell. 

Money was tight for the Based, but most of the time they weren't too hungry. Babs and Scoots both being master thieves, Twist being a decent hunter, and finally, Dinky was a good cook.

With her belly close to the snow, Twist crept across the snowy forest. All of a sudden, a twig snapped. Twist's reflexes where like a rubber band. She snapped an arrow in the direction of the sound. The arrow, shot into a bush. A squeak followed. 

Twist cantered over to the bush to peak inside. There was the rabbit, the arrow wedged into its throat. Twist gagged to so the green slime coating the rabbit's fur. Vial poison. 

"Of course. I really need this right now." Growled Twist. Vial poison was the signature weapon for WoodJets, followers of Sombra. Their favorite pastime: watching animals slowly die for fun. Seconds later, the murmur of voices, and more twigs cracking. Twist feels the panic start to set in. 

Twist snapped her line of vision back and forth trying to find someway out of this horrible situation. If she got into that pine tree really fast, she could probably avoid death. After all, there is no cure for vial poison.

Twist began to scramble up the tree Her creme hooves scraping the bark. Finally reaching the top, she looked down to see the group of WoodJets. 

Hmm. A green unicorn... A blue pegasus... A white unicorn... Her heart froze. Among the group of WoodJets was Bubble Burst and Salt lick. Twist stifled a gasp. Oh. No. They. Didn't. Those traitors were WOODJETS! And to think she rescued those idiots! She felt disgusted. Twists ears perked to hear their voices.

"Eh boss, I think your acting is okay. BB's betta." The green unicorn snickered, the white unicorn rolled her eyes. He turned at Bubble Burst who on cue gave a cocky grin.

"Eh. Was worth it. That group of ponies are as dumb as dung. Their cottage is up north." She replied. The whole group began to snicker and Salt Lick trotted over to the Green Unicorn and kissed him. Twist felt angry. She had never felt rage so hot and warm in her throat. She knew exactly what they were going to do. They were going to ambush. She knew to do too. She armed her arrow, and aimed at Bubble Burst's Throat. And let the arrow fly.

She never thought she would be so happy to hear a gurgle of pain, and a spurt of blood. Bubble bust collapsed. Twist fired two more arrows, finding their targets in Salt Lick and the white unicorns throats. The Green unicorn and the blue pegasus shrieked cowardly and fled. after their silhouette and hoof steps faded, Twist kept out of the tree, her hoofs clapping onto the snow. She trotted over to the bodies.

Bubble Burst and the white unicorn where completely dead. But Salt Lick was still gurgling with pain.

"Ghgh-" She coughed before her eyes glazed over. Twist pulled out the arrow of her throat, and began to scratch into her fur; "May her soul suffer in tartarus".

Tears welled in Twists eyes, as she pulled away the bloody arrow. She wanted to stick the arrow in Salt Licks eye, but she needed to keep her arrows.

"Fuck. Fuck all of you." Twist cursed and kicked Bubble Bursts dead body. She hardly knew the two earth ponies, but she had trusted them. She gave them information. That only showed that no pony could be trusted.

Not. A. Single. Mare.
