They say you shouldn't go into the Everfree Forest. If you must go into the Everfree, never do so at night. If you must go in at night, don't do it the day after zap apple jam season. And if you must go the day after zap apple jam season, please for the love of Epona don't wander into timberwolf territory.

They said those things to Bright Mac and Pear Butter. They laughed and shrugged it off, and... well, we all know how that turned out.

They said those things to Applejack, too. But she didn't listen. And now she's running for her life from a pack of the ravenous beasts, lost in the dark and with no one around to help her.

But she's not afraid. Not tonight.

Revenge like an apple tree: slow and strong.

I do indeed like this.

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.

Also, I wanna see more badass Apple family!

A good short on the apples! Short, sweet and packed with an ass kicking family revenge get together.
Robot approved!

What great way for a family gathering

Need more Granny Smith action. Do a sequel now.

Wait, this was Meadbowbrook's fault?! Oh dear, is AJ going to beat her up for this?

The apple family doesn't feel like the grudge type to me. So some of this felt out of character idk why.

But in the end it was well written and the finale was epic.

So I'll bite and hoof-up!:ajsmug:

It's less of a grudge, and more the fact that Grand Pear coming into their lives made that old grief come surging back. The Apple parents are on their minds, they've just been told all these awesome stories about how great their parents were, and eventually their thoughts would turn to anger at the creatures that took away these amazing ponies. And, I mean, destroying timberwolves is a public service. The personal catharsis is just a bonus.

Always enjoyable to see earth ponies wrecking shop.

This is some very positive stress-relief and a nice take on stubborn, good ol' AJ doing what she does. Thanks for the read!

I might be more bitter than most (read more prone to vengence:trixieshiftleft:) but I find this to be very much in character. Always nice to see earth pony magic go all out :ajsmug:

I'm rather 'feel' than 'think' person. I can only relate to the reason behind this story stated in blog, for I was frustrated by absence of Applejack's parents in series. Also I can relate to her backstory in series. While some may say that single case of lie going wrong could not make Applejack the most honest mare out there, I would say that I saw same thing happening.
What I can say about story? It telegraphed particular set of emotions so integral to the situation that I can't part mine from those of characters. Perhaps it is just me. Perhaps being a person with ESL, I overdramatize when trying to think in foreign language. Doesn't matter really.

I had no idea where this was going, a rare treat for me. For a short fic, there was lots of suspense. And then, that last part. Ahhh.... Always love seeing the raw strength of earth ponies. It too often flies under the radar.

This is a great story. I think you portrayed the emotions powerfully in this story.
