Ponyville has had it's fair share in problems. The return of Nightmare Moon, swarm of parasprites, return of Discord, twice. But it has never had a murder before. In fact the last recorded murder in Equestria was half a century ago. Something is stirring in the Everfree forest and whatever it is, its out for blood. Ponies are missing and tattered remains of ponies, cows, anything alive are being found everywhere. Whatever is happening started in the wild Everfree, and Applejack is going in there, but what happens when she learns, its not that wild and no longer free.
