Death Scene: Caught by the Timberwolves -SPOILERS-

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I sprinted for the door as fast as I could, but it was not enough. The wolf smacked into me from behind and we went tumbling into the room. With a scream I made to power up my horn but I was caught in a flash of light and suddenly unable to move.

My fervered eyes darted around the room, where the girls were trying their best.

Rarity, like me, started charging her horn. I tried to scream for her to stop, but words would not come. The same light that hit me hit her and together we found ourselves on the ground unable to move. Our eyes met and it was then that I realized that this was going to be the end.

A blood curdling scream drew my eyes to Rainbow Dash, who had a Timberwolf firmly clamped down on one of her outstretched wings. Pinkie and Applejack went barreling into the wolf that was trying to eat Rainbow. The four of them went tumbling into a pile and two more timberwolves jumped on them. Applejack managed to kick herself free from the pile, but Pinkie's and Rainbow's screams of anguish were imprinting on my soon-to-be-short-lived memory.

My eyes followed Applejack. She was soon surrounded on all sides by the wolves. The bore down on her and she was slowly backed into a corner. I knew what was next, and, Celestia help me, I couldn't watch. The fresh corpses of my friends, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash, were being torn apart by the ravenous wolves, and Rarity, her eyes pleading with me, was being dragged by the tail into the corner of the room. Then it dawned upon me that Fluttershy was not among them. My eyes darted around the room. Fluttershy was still out here somewhere. Just on the edge of my vision I could see her perched on a chandelier. I felt my heart swell with warmth, at least one of us would make it.

"Come down dear," I heard a voice shout. My eyes found the blond maned, white coated prince Blueblood as he came down a set of stairs in the center of the room. He was covered by a large black coat and a pair of sunglasses covered his eyes, he beckoned to Fluttershy. The wolves turned their eyes on him, but he shooed them away and they backed into the corners of the room. "Don't worry I'll protect you."

I didn't trust him one bit, neither did Fluttershy. She gripped the chandelier with all her might and was shaking so hard the dangling crystals that adorned it were colliding, creating a vigorous tinkling sound.

"Silly mares!" He bellowed, "Either this bio-weapon combat test went exceedingly well, or you're all just weak!" his gaze never left Fluttershy. With a jerk of magic he gripped her and pulled her to him. With a terrified screech she struggled to free herself, but he blasted her with paralyzing magic and then, with another burst of magic, he snapped her neck.

"I was right, you are weak," he tossed her limp dead body behind himself with ease, and then approached me. He laid his stomach on the floor to get to eye level with me, and pulled off his sunglasses to reveal deep red eyes that looked at me critically.

"Is the little princess scared?" he flicked my horn and then tugged at my wings, "It's a shame really. You're quite the mare," he stood up, placing the sunglasses back on his face. "I'd say 'you should keep your nose out of business that isn't yours, next time', but there isn't going to be a next time. Not for you anyways." With that he turned his back to me and walked back up the stairs.

With him gone the wolves in the room began to approach me. They nipped at one another, contesting who was going to get the first bite. It was then that I felt the hot breath on my flank. My ears filled with the sound of growling, and my vision filled with red.
