Two weeks later

Doctor Bunsen POV.

"Well Princess I've checked the results several times and Analysed all of the data. I have good news and bad news." You were speaking to princess Celestia about her recovery after the...incident.

"What's the good news?" She asks.

"The good news is, I've checked your blood work and run vigorous test and I can confirm that you are not infected with the werewolf curse." She relaxes, a relieved sigh, escaping her mussel. "In fact, from reports, from other doctors, I can safely deduce that nopony has been infected." You smile, the princes looking more relieved than ever.

"And...the bad news?" Your smile diminishes. Better just get this over with.

"The bad news is to do with that.-" You pint the the long gash running along her side and up the underside of the wing. "- You may have noticed that it is taking longer to heal than most wounds. I have discovered that any wound inflicted directly from the Werewolf have the same problem...I'm afraid there is a reason." You hoof her a chart and show the lab results. "As you can see closer inspection of all of the wounds have revealed, Micro-organisms festering in the wounds. These Micro organisms inhibit mitosis and restrict blood flow, Reducing the number of white blood cells reaching the infected region." She looks worried. "We have cross-referenced this with the data from the late Dr Gauze and have deduced that the werewolf has another hidden weapon. This Microbe was present in some of Anon's skin cells, when he turned, they must have -"

"Doctor." You stop. "What is the bad news?" Wow this sucks.

"When the wolf attacked you, it left Microbes in the wound. They don't infect you with the curse but they restrict healing and increase the chance infection. Due to this we are going to have to remove some tissues." She winces. "We will be able to do some skin grafts so nopony will notice...but, due to the specific tissues that need to be removed...you will never be able to fly again." You can't bare to look at her. She looks horrified.

"Surely there's something we can do?"

"I'm sorry Princess, but even magical healing can't help you, the damage is too extensive." She looks down, tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I wis-"

"These Microbes? Could they be used to restrict a werewolves Regeneration, If we had to?" You shake your head.

"If you mean anon, no.They are created by him, it wouldn't work, it would be like trying to kill something by Injecting them with their own blood. It would be possible to use it on other werewolves, but After some time, the Microbes deteriorate like Anon's blood. it wouldn't wor-"

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

"I hope I'm not intruding." Shining Armour the captain of the royal guard, walks in. "I have important information for the princess."

"Come in Captain." The Princess says.

"Well, per your orders, We have searched roughly in a three hundred mile radius around Canterlot and we have no sign of him. He either managed to evade us or he's dead." You knew who they were talking about, everypony heard about him. There were books already being published about him and his curse.

"He is unlikely to be dead...He once told me that it was impossible to kill a Werewolf. I have become more inclined to believe him."

"Oh, and princess Luna has ordered for the search to be called off and for the Elements of Harmony to be released."

"What?" She exclaims, looking to him in shock.

"Princess Luna has announced that Anonymous was never really a threat to begin with. He was just aggravated. As for the Prisoner?...She pardoned them. She felt that what they did during the Werewolf Incident was both admirable and courageous." He says with a smug, self satisfied grin.

"No. I will not allow Anon to get away... We need to - " Celestia is cut off by shining raising his hoof to speak.

"With all due respect Princess, but I'm afraid I'll have to resign." He says simply.

"W-What?"

"I joined the guard, to protect the innocent and obey the Princess...as of two weeks ago, I have come to realize that I cannot do both...so I quit." He says, lowering his armored helmate to the table and turning to leave, but before he does...

"Oh, and Princess...when Anon does come back, you better hope he's in a good mood." He says before leaving, closing the door behind him.

"Doctor?" You look to the princess curiously, trying to avoid the awkward situation.

"Yes?"

"How is my sister." You smile.

"She's fine, Her injuries were all indirect, so she was pretty banged up but she has recovered well."

"Good. Thank you doctor. I will leave you now." She gets up and walks over to the door.

"Princess, wait." She stops.

"Do you really believe that? Anon one day coming back?" She smiles sadly at you.

"I can only hope." And with that she leaves you to your work.

Princess Luna POV.

You walk down the corridor to the throne room. Today was going to be a hard day. You were going to reveal to all of your ponies everything... from what Anon was, to what happened within these walls. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You believe Anon mentioned that phrase during one of your talks a few months ago.

You slowly open the door to the throne room, letting the press see your face for the fist time since the incident.

"Princess Luna! Princess Luna! Is it true that there was in fact a Marewolf in Canterlot Two weeks ago?"

"Princess Luna! Princess Luna! Where is Princess Celestia? Is she recovering well?"

"Princess Luna! Princess Luna! Where is the creature that attacked Canterlot now? Are we still safe?"

"Princess Luna! Princess Luna! what was the involvement of the Elements of harmony during this incident?"

You slowly trot down the center of the throne room as Ponies swarmed you left and right...You struggled to keep your composure, but you made it to your throne as the ponies surrounded you. You hold up a hoof to silence them and lean forward in your chair.

"Now, My little Ponies. Who wishes to ask the first question?"

The throne room erupts into incomprehensible sound of questions.

Pinkie Pie POV

You step onto the platform at Ponyville. You take in the fresh air and allow yourself to bask in the comfort of home.

"Well that was a trip that I hope NEVER to repeat." Rarity declared as she joined you.

"But we did Rarity! Anon is free." Rainbow announces. Flying into the air.

"Well I guess you're right, There Rainbow Dash." Rarity replies

"It's just too bad that not everypony made it home." Fluttershy says sadly as she steps off of the train, all of your moods dissolving.

"Oh I'm sure we'll see him again Fluttershy. I'm counting on it." Twilight declares as she steps of the train with a happy smile on her face, looking visibly better than when she was in Canterlot. Celestia ordered her to be taken to the infirmary; Where she managed to recov. You were all so glad she made it, you would probably be in a much more depressed mood otherwise.

Applejack remains Quiet, stepping off of the train with a sulking expression.

You were all here, everypony safe at home...well, almost everypony .You all head into town, remaining quiet when you passed Anons house.

"Um...you guys go ahead, I'm gonna go...reminisce." Rainbow states, moving to the front door of his home. You all can't help but join her. The door was still unlocked from when Rainbow broke in during the attack. The door opens without resistance, allowing you all to move inside and look around. The plants on the walls were dead, the house felt oddly cold as a cloud of dust lingered in the air. The entire building had the feeling of abandonment.

"He placed those there, the day we went out to the woods." Fluttershy points to a stack of lumber in the corner by the door.

"I helped him make these." You state looking into the fridge at a tray of cupcakes. The things would be inedible now, but the memories remain.

"I slept on this bed more times than I'd like to admit." Rainbow say upstairs as she looks over Anons guest bedroom.

"Remember the housewarming party? That was a blast!" You call through the house, with a slightly chipper attitude.

"Yeah...I was in the flowerbed out back, remember?" Rainbow replies. You each chuckle at the memory. Good times.

"Umm...girls? You may want to take a look at this." Now when somepony says 'you may want to take a look at this.' it kind of implies that is is very important.

You run upstairs to Anon's bedroom where twilight was looking in his closet with an alarmed expression.

"Twilight what's wrong?" Applejack asks. Twilight just points to the closet.

"What? I don't see anything?" You say.

"That's the point. Where are Anon's clothes?"

"Somepony stole my designs?!" Rarity exclaims. barging past you to see the empty closet.

"As much as ah'd like to believe that, ah don't think anypony would steal clothes for somepony of a different species."

"Oh...heh, heh. But where are they then?" Rarity asks with a sheepish expression.

"I think I might know." Fluttershy speaks up, drawing your attention to the butter-yellow pegasus. "uh...A-Anon never went around with no clothes on..a-and he was naked when he disappeared...if he was to run away... then What do you think he would grab first?" The realization dawns on you all at once.

"Anon was here?! Did he leave a note!?." You shout, rumaging through the bedding, bedside tables, closet and een the lamp in search of anything.

"Ah don't know, maybe he was in a hurry." Applejack says solemnly. You immediately stop your search as your mane deflates in depression.

Without another word, you all leave the house, rather dejected about what you discovered.

"Why wouldn't he leave anything?" Rainbow questions as you reach Sugarcube corner. Not in the mood to answer, you turn to the group.

"I guess I'll see you girls later." You say as you depart into Sugarcube corner.

"Pinkie!" The cakes exclaim. Rushing up to you and embracing you in an affectionate hug.

"It's so good to see you!" Mr Cake says.

"We were so worried." Mrs Cake finishes.

"Thanks, I'm glad to be back." You mumble a little dejectedly.

"Well your room is just the way you left it and you got a letter from your Family." Mrs Cake says, not noticing your mood. You nod and head upstairs, anxious to get this day done with.

"Are you alright sweety?"

"I'm fine." You say, as you trudge up the stairs. You hear a concerned 'oh okay then' and then silence. in your room, there is a letter on your bed.The return address shows your parents farm.

You opened the letter and skimmed through it's contents, it's just a letter about ...your eyes go wide. Before you do anything else you rush out to grab your friends, uttering a quick 'gottagobye' to Mr and Mrs cake who look o with bewildered expressions.

"Pinkie What is going on?" You hoof Twilight the letter as she looks to you with a cocked eyebrow.

"What is it?" Rainbow asks.

"Just read it!" You exclaim, barely able to hold your excitement. Twilight rolls her eyes and starts to read aloud.

"Dear Pinkie Pie.

First of all we hope you are well, we all miss you very much, and hope to see you up here some time soon... What's this got to do with anything?" You gesture for her to go on.

"Just keep reading!" She rolls her eyes. she goes over how things are going on the farm and what your sisters are doing on the farm and...

"...However the main reason we wrote this letter is because we have one of your friends here with us-" Her eyes widen. "- He is a strange one but he asked us to send this letter to you and your friends. He says he is thankful for everything you have done for him, but he is afraid this is likely goodbye. He will miss all of you very much. He is thankful to have had each of you as friends. You will always be in his heart. And he loves you all." She can't finish as there are tears forming in her eyes.

"Anon. and the Pie family." You finish. "You see girls. He's okay! Everything is going to be just fine!" Twilight is trying desperately not to cry, she is smiling widely, knowing her friend is safe.

"Aww..come here darling." Rarity instructs embracing Twilight who starts to laugh through her tears of joy.

"Group Hug!" You shout leaping on the two mares. The others joining in. You all burst into laughter,you all needed this.

"Ya know, Ah don't believe this is goodbye." Applejack says as she gives a coy grin.

"Ah don't think we've seen the last of Anon. No way, No how."

Anon POV

The sun was blaring down upon you as you stand on the frozen cliffside of Mont Bronco. You were in the griffon kingdoms now. Completely Isolated from society. You got a griffin to come visit you once a week bringing food on a specified day and time.

You were still struggling to figure out how you managed to regain control back in Canterlot, but you were on your way to understanding. You also learned really quickly that you can be really intimidating if you needed to be. Just give a low growl and a level stare and it will send a freaking full grown griffon running. You could not control the transformation...yet, but you were working on it. You were starting to get these random cravings for living flesh, that really worried you. Just random little animals would set of your hunger.

You turn and look in the mirror. Your appearance has changed a little in the last few weaks, Your hair has grown out shaggy and you have a half way between stubble and a small beard on your face. Other than that nothing... still you.

You've learned no to dwell on the past. That causes people to go insane. You as a whole have killed hundreds upon hundreds of people, ponies, and other creatures that looked appetizing and were unfortunate. However you as a Person, not the wolf. have never harmed a soul. But that wasn't going to last. You could feel it. People are still going to want to hurt you and when they try, you're going to have to defend yourself. You harbored as little hatred for the Equestrians as you could. You understand now why Celestia did what she did. In fact if you replayed the entire situation, just flip the roles, you would be pretty sure that the humans would treat you the same, if not worse. So you tried to live and let live. But you still remember everything that's been done to you and it's hard not to hate her - if not just a little - for that.

You could never go back and undo the curse that was bestowed upon you log ago and you could never go back to Equestria, at least not until you are forgiven. But until then, You must train your body. You have everything you need right here. Food, water... space. All you needed to do now was focus your skills and get yourself under control. You just needed to train...and that's what you were going to do.

You walk over to the Mountain edge and lean over the steep fall. It's a long way down...just in case. You look up to the sun, at it's highest point in the sky and sigh...this would be when you felt completely secure long ago. You go back to the mirror and recoil in shock. Your eyes...

They blinked yellow for just a fraction of a second. But how? You take a closer look into the mirror, hoping it's just a trick of the light. You stare on with wide eyes as your reflection shifts and morphs into the vile beast that you have come to fear within yourself. You look back to your hands and take note that they are still human.

It's all in your head.

"If that is what you want to believe." The reflection whispers in its deep, gruff voice. You take a step back as the reflection fades away to your human self. completely back to normal.

except the eyes.

They remained in that beastly form. Staring back at you with golden fear. This was you now... wasn't it?

You just needed to train. Day in and day out you would. until you could control your burden.

Until you were the master of your own Body you will train and if all else fails...You'll stop.

Author's Note

And there we have it. The story is 100% complete. I could probably go do some touch ups with a few things but that is it.

Now, time to ask a question. As I said in the description. This story was me testing the waters to see how it goes. So the question is, Would you like to see more from me, or just let this be a one time thing? All feedback is welcome.

Special thanks to Twilight Best Pony for help with the rewrite.

So until next time, my fabulous friends! Stay awesome!
