Twilight's Library . . . . .

Twilight fluttered her wings anxiously while pacing the wooden library floor. 'Just how dangerous is this demon?' She wondered while her pacing began to wear the floor down once more. She stopped for a moment. 'What does it eat? Do they need to eat?' All of a sudden, her pupils shrunk down to the size of pinpricks. 'Does it eat PONIES?!' She quickly hopped out of the circle she created and ran out of the library as fast as possible.

As she ran, her thought's flew through her head. 'I have to get my friends to hunt this demon down today! Every day we waste is another day somepony could die!' The lavender alicorn suddenly spread her wings and clumsily flew up to a cloud that looked much like a house. "Rainbow! RAINBOW!" She yelled while pounding on the soft, but solid, door. It flew open to revel a very annoyed cyan pegasus standing in the doorway.

"Jeez Twi, what's the matter? Is there some kind of emergency or something?" Her annoyed tone made it clear that she wasn't in a joking mood.

"YES IT'S AN EMERGENCY! We are going to hunt down that demon, what was it's name again? I think it was Frenzy. Were hunting it down today!" Twilight took a deep breath of the fresh air and tried desperately to calm herself down.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, I thought we were going after it tomorrow! Today was supposed to be resting day or whatever right? So what's the big deal now?" She flipped her multicolored mane out of her eyes.

"I know that's what I said, but then I realized that it might eat," she gulped. "Ponies." A look of horror and disgust flickered across Rainbow's face before she composed herself and launched into the air.

"What are we waiting for?! Let's go kick some demon flank!"

"Let's grab the other girls first, and I got the Elements right here." There was a sudden Flash! and a magenta bag materialized next to the alicorn, it being surrounded in a violet aura. "I suggest that we get Rarity next."

"Great!" Rainbow Dash said. "Let's go!" She zoomed off with a rainbow trailing after her as flew towards the white unicorn's home.

Rarity's Home . . . . . . .

Rarity sighed and closed her eyes in beautiful bliss. It was so quiet, so peaceful, so rela-

CRASH!

The white unicorn groaned and slowly got out of her comfortable poster-bed. "WERE CLOSED!" She yelled so whoever heard her would know to go away. She heard a voice call her name and her bell ring, signaling that somepony needed her. "I SAID WERE CLOSED!" Another small ding from her bell. Frowning in extreme frustration, Rarity trotted down the stairs ready to yell at whoever wouldn't go away. "I told you that- Oh Twilight! Rainbow Dash! What are you two doing here?" Twilight frowned and opened her mouth, only to get cut off by the cyan pegasus.

"Were going after the demon today!" There was a brave looking pose and, for the oddest reason, background music. The white unicorn frowned in confusion.

"I thought we were getting it tomorrow!"

"Rarity, everyday we let that thing roam free, somepony could . . ." Twilight faltered before whispering the last part. "die." Rarity gasped loudly.

"Then we must go! Oh but first I need to get a scarf . . ."

"RARITY!" The two other ponies yelled.

"Oh all right. Let's go. Who do we need to go get now?" Twilight frowned.

"We still need to get Pinkie and Applejack," Rarity screamed, making both ponies whip around to see what was wrong.

"PINKIE PIE?! APPLEJACK?! GET OUT OF MY MANE!!" She yelled, prompting Pinkie Pie to jump out of the white unicorn's purple mane while holding Applejack.

"Hi girls! I knew you guys were looking for me and Aj so I went ahead and came to you!" She beamed at all of the confused ponies. Rainbow Dash shook her head back and forth in disbelief.

"Okay I can accept how Pinkie randomly got here, but seriously Applejack? How did you even get here?!" The farm-pony shrugged her shoulders with a scared look on her face.

"Ah blinked, then all of a sudden Pinkie Pie was holdn' me and we were standing in Rarity's mane." Everypony (except for Pinkie Pie and Applejack) face-hooved.

"Now that just leaves Flutter's! Let's go get her girls!" All five ponies cheered and galloped out of the room.

Fluttershy's Cottage . . . . . . . .

"FLUTTERSHY!" The yellow pegasus mare turned her head towards her open door to see all five of her friends looking at her.

"Oh hi girls. How are you all?" She asked.

"Were fine Fluttershy." Twilight said before noticing a small saddlebag in front of her friend.

"Flutter's, where are you going?" The cyan pegasus asked as she flew over and grabbed the bag.

"I'm going to go see my friend Felixia again." There was a sudden gasp.

"YOU MET SOMEPONY NEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!" Pinkie Pie yelled while smiling. Fluttershy hid behind her mane.

"She's not a pony, she's a really nice wolf . . ."

"I'm sorry darling," Rarity began. "I don't think any of us heard that."

"I said she's a really nice wolf . . ." All the ponies in the room frowned at their friend.

"Speak up! Come on we don't have all day!"

"I said she's a really nice wolf I met yesterday," Rainbow Dash stared at the saddlebag in her hooves before opening it and quickly rummaging through it. The cyan pegasus held out three items, two daisy sandwiches, a small red-and-white blanket, and a notebook, before shoving them all back in and dropping to the ground.

"What's her name . . .?" The whisper was barely audible to all 6 ponies and they turned their gaze to Rainbow Dash. "What. Is. The. Wolf's. NAME?!" Fluttershy cowered on the floor at her friends sudden rage.

"Felixia . . ." Rainbow looked at Twilight.

"What's the demon's name?" The yellow pegasus opened her eyes in terror. 'There's a demon?!'

"Frenzy." There was a sigh of relief from the cyan pegasus. "I'm glad you didn't meet the demon she-wolf Fluttershy, it could have hurt you or . . . . . killed you." There was a small squeak of terror. Twilight looked Fluttershy in the eye. "We're going after the demon today, so it doesn't hurt anypony, so I brought the Element's." The terrified pegasus gave a small gasp. "We need you to come with us into the Everfree Forest."

"No! It's scary in there. And there are Timberwolves, and manticors, and all sort's of scary things! I don't want to go!" She had grabbed a pillow and began sobbing into it, adding even more dramatic effects to her refusal.

"But Fluttershy! We need you! And if we don't get rid of that demon," The yellow pegasus looked at Twilight. "ponies could die."

"No." Twilight held out her hoof to the timid pegasus.

"Please?"

"O-Okay." She stood out and stretched before an idea popped into her mind. "M-Maybe Felixia can help us track down the demon, I'm sure she would be glad to help other ponies . . ." Twilight beamed.

"That's a great idea! Can we meet her?"

"Okay, but please be nice to her. . . she's a new animal so she might be nervous."

"Great! Let's go you guys!" All 6 ponies left the room, totally unaware of a dark shadow sitting in an unseen corner.

Felixia's Cave . . . . . . . . . .

Felixia stared at the afternoon sun, basking in it's beautiful warmth. 'I wish I could have seen the sun in Tartarus.' She thought numbly. 'It's so relaxing and warm. . .' She rolled over onto her belly and closed her eyes before feeling an odd, yet slightly familiar sensation, traveling across her whole body. Her eyes widened before she scooted out of the sun, pure shock on her face.

'Another demonic form?! I thought I only had 5!' Her eyes traveled across her fur, looking for anything slightly odd about her. Felixia let out a sigh of relief. 'I must have stopped just in time.' She thought before her sharp ears picked up a faint sound. Clop, clop, clop, clop, clop. Felixia ran to the mouth of her cave (while being careful to stay in the shade) and gazed down at the 6 approaching figures. Lavender, Pink, Blue, White, Orange, and a slightly familiar Yellow running right towards her cave.

'Do I attack them? Or see who or what they are?' The she-wolf thought before there was a bright lavender flash, a Pop!, and suddenly 5 ponies she didn't recognize and one she did were standing in her cave. The familiar face turned and looked at Felixia, a small smile spread across her face.

"Hi Felixia!"She said. "These are my friends. Oh um they want to ask you something." Felixia frowned and looked at the lavender pony, who flinched slightly under her gaze.

"Why are you in my cave? I expected only Fluttershy to come." She said, stunning the 5 ponies before one snapped out of her trance.

"Felixia," She began. "We need you to help us find a demon."

I'm trying really really hard to slow this story down! I swear! Rushing is my number one problems with writing so I'm trying to fix it.
