The Ever Changeling Forest

by Sweetie Belle writes


Once a full moon

“Cutie Mark Crusaders Forest explorers!'' Here we go taking on the mysterious deadly forest with its chilling winds
and lifeless trees surrounding us as if we were little chickens being stalked by the a lion''

Chattering sounds were heard from behide the bright orange filly that has now taken the lead of the group.
''Come on Sweetie belle there is no need for you to be scared we have not even been in the forest for more than ten minutes''
Sweetie belle who was a few hoof steps behide Scootaloo, was otherly silence other than just trying to keep pace with her and not to fall behide. ''Hey that was not from me and I'm not scared.''

Sweetie belle was now yelling at Scootaloo she was reminding the Pegasus filly whose idea it was to come into the forest,
''Now if your brain can remember that long ago you will recall it was my idea.'' Scootaloo had busted out in a chicken clucking sound her laugh was one of the worse things you would ever hear in your life, it makes so ponies think of sun rise.

Sweetie belle did not seem to be amused by the laughing, from her fellow crusade member. ''Stop laughing,''
Sweetie belle shouted with a high pitch tone her voice it was very outstanding she was able to control her voice really
well from the time she spends practicing.

Scootaloo who now has come to a complete halt in the middle of the forest, she was looking at the filly who was now
Red in anger the expression of Sweetie belle's face was priceless as the orange filly just fell on the dirt of the ground laughing at the pony.''Come on! You are really mad you’re such a marshmallow.''

This made Sweetie belle's rage erupt as she just stomped her hoofs and walked passed Scootaloo.''I'm leading the way now
you just stay out of my way.'' The filly was still lying on the ground as she looked to see Sweetie belle making her way down the path. Scootaloo was scarching her mind for a reason why Sweetie belle always took things so seriously.''What's that ponies deal you have any idea Applebloom?''

Applebloom's legs where shaking uncontrollably as she tried to give her friend a reply to her question but her voice was
Cracking and had a really high pitch behide it ''I..I..Dooon't knooow, you know someponies are just scardyponies, but good thing me and you aren't scared right?''

The filly had now made her way back to her hoofs where she was now looking at the pale Applebloom. ''Are you ok? Your looking kinda white'' Applebloom now was starting to break into a little sweat as if the questioning from her friend was making her feel uneasy. ''Oh I'm good as a bushel of apples ''

Applebloom started walk to try and keep her sight on Sweetie belle who was really far down the trail, not wanting to have too much distance from her other friend.''Come on Sweetie belle is leaving us in the dust, and you know she is the most scared out here so we should make sure she is alright all the way up there maybe even walk side by side to keep her safe.''

Scootaloo gave Applebloom a concerned look, as she started to walk alongside her. The sky above was full of beautiful stars and a full moon that was able to light up the trail the three filly's where fellowing. They were not sure where the trail was going to lead them but it's better to walk on a trail than wander aimlessly through a thick forest full of animals right/

Scootaloo and Applebloom after having to run for a good second or two had finally catches up with the current leader Sweetie belle who had now seemed to calm after storming off leaving her two fellow crusaders behide. Scootaloo was looking at Sweetie belle waiting for her to say something to her but the filly was silent. Along with that the forest had now grown silent as well you could hear nothing this cause a little fear to slip into Scootaloo's mind.

The silence broken by a question from the leader as she was still hoofing her way down the path. ''So have you heard of the legend of the Everfree Forest before?'' Leegeeend,what legend the two filly's replyed.
A smile now made it's way upon the face of Sweetie belle.''Oh your telling me you never heard of the tail of the Everfree Beast before?''

Applebloom's whole body started back shaking from hoof to hoof as she tried to force herself to ask a question, but when she tried to speak you could tell she had a bit of anxiety behide ''A beeasst.....there is...no. such thing''
Sweetie belle turned her sight away from the two crusaders as she took a deep breath of the fresh night air.

''You don't have to believe me, but you should know the tail away just so if something happens you won't be blaming me''
Sweetie belle's was trying to hold back her laughter before turning back to face her friends, she was planning this after the incident with Scootaloo.

Sweetie belle now was trying to calm herself and gather her thought's she seemed to have snapped
seeing as she was now talking to herself but the fact that she was talking to herself did not mean anything it's just the fact she was talking in different voices and in third person.''Sweetie belle's plan is working...Sweetie will teach them a lesson''

Scootaloo and Applebloom where watching as there friend was muttering something over there to herself, Applebloom was still shaking from what she was just heard from Sweetie belle, as she looked at Scootaloo for some reassurance she gave her a smile. The smile was able to help Applebloom calm down just a bit.

Sweetie belle turned around yelling and pointing her hoof to the sky. ''The Beast of the Everfree it feeds on the light of the moon, it grows more powerful on the nights when the moon is full, and once every fourth week it comes out to hunt and feed off the unsuspecting victims that enter this evil place.''

Both the filly's fur seem to be standing on edge from neck to tail, this was odd for Scootaloo not being one to scare so easy, but you could tell her had some fear in her body just by looking into her eye's. Sweetie belle now made her way closer to her two friends stepping slowly hoof by hoof. ''Now the only way the beast won't come after you is if you show no fear. ‘’

Sweetie belle now was right next to her friends she lower's her head right next to them both.
''And lastly if you come face to face with the beast you shou.....ld yoo...u should......'' Sweetie belle used her unicorn magic to brake a tree branch above them making it fall right in front of them ''Runnnnnnn''

Both Scootaloo and Applebloom ran off in the same direction upon the branch landing next to them. Sweetie belle was just rolling on the ground laughing she was wiping the tears from her face now. ‘Who’s the chicken now, I guess I really should go and catch those two before they get more lost.''

Sweetie belle now was hoofing her way down the path to try and catch up with Applebloom and Scootaloo she seemed to be in a good mood jumping and singing a song, as she disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

(But from the shadows a voice called out as the pony was hoofing away. ''Fooooood'')
