Previous Chapter

Mobius and the girls all wake up shackled to the wall with Pinkie sitting in a chair in front of them.

Mobius looks around and finds out it’s the shed “Oh… perfect.” He looks to Pinkie “Now what?”

Pinkie looks sad. “I’m afraid I can’t let you leave… I’m sorry girls, but you were never supposed to know.” She picks up a knife. “As a sign of our friendship, I will make it quick.” She slowly approaches her friends.

Twilight is the first to speak up. “You don’t have to do this Pinkie!”

“Yes I do...”

“Why?”

Pinkie stops. “It’s happened before, once my friends find out that I’m a Werewolf they stop being my friends, get the guards, or they attack me. I’m just making sure it doesn’t happen this time.”

Mobius speaks up “Pinkie, calm down. They’re your friends, I’m sure they’ll be okay with it…”

“As nice as that sounds, I can’t risk being found out, I have too many roots in this town.”

Dash whispers to Twilight. “Can’t you use your magic to get us out of here?”

Twilight whispers back. “No, she put a magic cancelling ring on me, We have to find a way to let her know we are still friends with her.”

“And how do I know you’re being serious Twilight?” Twilight looks shocked that Pinkie heard her. “What? Werewolves have great hearing.”

Twilight sighs. “Pinkie, just because you’re a Werewolf doesn’t mean we’re going to stop being friends with you, right girls?”

“RIGHT!”

Pinkie looks shocked, “Really? I don’t have to kill you?” Small tears form on her eyes. “You’re being honest?”

Dash Speaks up. “Of course we’re still your friends but I have one demand!”

Pinke freezes still. “What.”

“Make me a Werewolf.”

Everyone is shocked. including Pinkie. “What!... why?”

Pinkie moves over and pulls a lever releasing everyone from the shackles.

As they tumble onto the floor Mobius dashes over to Dash “whoa whoa whoa, you don’t wanna go there.”

“Yeah, I do.”

Mobius takes a step closer “No, you don’t. You won’t be able to be in the Wonderbolts, you… will hunger for Pony meat all the time… It isn’t good.”

Dash scoffs, “what kind of element of loyalty would I be if let Pinkie suffer through this alone. Besides, I’m sure Twilight here would talk to them for me...”

Dash starts to whisper. “And, I’ve kinda always wanted to try meat...” She speaks up. “It doesn’t have to be pony meat does it?” Pinkie shakes her head. “See? Not a problem.”

Pinkie walks up to Twilight and removes the magic cancelling ring from her horn. then walks up in front of Dash. She is breathing heavily, “You’re… sure… about this?”

Mobius makes one last attempt to stop Dash “Don’t! It’s a really bad idea!”

Dash nods. “I’m sure.”

Pinkie doesn’t seem to register that Dash said anything. Her body begins to slowly change. Her fur grows longer, her teeth grow even sharper, and she grows a few inches taller. Her hooves change into claws with the sound of bones snapping. She Moves closer to Dash who backs up a step. Dash looks to Twilight. “She knows when to stop right? She won’t eat all of me will she?” Twilight looks at Pinkie. “We can hope she has eaten recently. otherwise...”

Mobius zooms right in between Dash and Pinkie “hold on here! Twilight, find us a way out of here!” He turns to Dash “I’m not letting you become a Werewolf.”

Twilight shouts “I can’t! The only one that can open that door is Pinkie, I placed the enchantments on it myself!.”

Pinkie walks up and knocks Mobius across the room, stunning him for a few moments. Then she pins Dash to the ground.

Dash stares up at pinkie. “This is going to hurt...” Pinkie leans down and tears a chunk of meat from Dash’s barrel causing her to scream in pain. She chews the meat and leans down and bites again… and again...”

A beam of purple light knocks Pinkie off of Dash and into the wall. “ENOUGH!” A glowing purple shield forms around Pinkie, who starts smashing into it, causing cracks to form. “Mobius! is there any meat nearby? It appears that Pinkie hasn’t eaten in awhile!” Twilight winces as Pinkie smashes into the shield again causing more cracks to appear. “Hurry! I can’t hold her off for long.”

Mobius wakes up due to his increased healing as a Werewolf “What the… DASH!”

Twilight winces. “Mobius hurry! Find some meat, I can’t hold her for long!” She looks at Dash who is breathing heavily and bleeding out. “We can help Dash once we get Pinkie contained.”

Mobius frantically searches the room, searching for food when he opens the fridge. “Twilight, now!” She drops the shield as he slides the body of a pony next to Pinkie, who pounces on it and starts ripping off chunks of meat.

Twilight raises the shield again and looks at Pinkie devouring the body. “Ew.”

After about two minutes the body is completely devoured and Pinkies senses return to her. “Ugh... so full… no… DASH!” She smashes into the barrier again “Twilight drop this barrier!” Twilight drops the shield and Pinkie runs over to dash who is barely breathing. “Dash! I’m so sorry!” She looks at Dashes wounds and releases a breath. “Good, she isn’t in danger of dying, though any more and the curse wouldn’t have been able to bring her back.” She strokes Dash’s cheek. “You’re lucky Twilight was here, or you would be in my belly by now.”

Mobius storms over to Pinkie “PINKIE! You could have easily killed her! This is what I’m trying to avoid!”

PInkie glares back at mobius still in her werewolf form. “This is YOUR fault! If I didn’t have to wait for your stupid leg to heal I would never have been starved enough to enter frenzy!”

Pinkie glances at Twilight. “Put a shield over Dash and get me some more meat, Dash is going to be hungry when she wakes up, she has to eat to heal that much damage.”

Mobius shouts “MY fault?! You’re the one who infected me, you’re the one that broke my leg, you’re the one that got us into this mess!”

Pinkie slams Mobius across the room again. “Don’t try to blame me! I wanted to hunt before I returned but you didn’t want anybody to get hurt! This is what happens when a werewolf doesn’t feed in 3 days!”

Mobius gets back up, walk over to Pinkie and says “Really? All this time and you can’t go three days? I’ve gone four and I haven’t eaten at all! You just almost killed Rainbow because you couldn’t control yourself!”

Pinkie looks down ashamed. “Well… I can’t control myself when I taste pegasus... sorry.”

“Sorry? That’s what you have to say? What would you have said if we couldn’t have saved Dash? My bad?”

“Nope, I would have said ‘she was tasty’.’” She licks her lips “She was by the way, I’ve always wondered what Dash tasted like…”

Dash groans. “Oh she’s waking up!” Pinkie runs to her refrigerator, grabs a leg, and then puts it next to Dash. “Twilight raise the shield now! And make sure she can’t smell us!” Twilight puts another shield around dash and they watch as Dash wakes up.

At first she just yawns and sits up then she sniffs the air and dives onto the leg, ripping huge chunks off of it with all the manners one would expect of Rainbow Dash.

Again Twilight watches, “ew.”

As she eats the leg her wounds heal rapidly, when the leg is completely gone Twilight drops the shield. “What was that! It tasted AWESOME!” The girls look slightly sick, and

Twilight speaks up. “That was… a ponies leg.”

Dash looks shocked. “You’re sure? That was the best tasting thing I’ve ever had...”

Twilight looks like she is going to be sick. “Yes, I’m serious”

Dash sniffs the air. “You guys smell… different… somehow… ” Dash walks over toward Applejack, “Hm… you smell… kinda tasty… ” Pinkie steps between Dash and Applejack. “no Dash, I will take you hunting later but for now CONTROL yourself.”

Mobius steps closer, frowning “Dash? You feel OK?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Her stomach grumbles. “Maybe a little hungry.”

Pinkie smiles. “You get used to it.” She looks at her friends, Rarity is cowering in the corner with Fluttershy who appears to have passed out. Twilight is looking grim and Applejack is taking steps away from Dash, but trying to be sneaky about it.“So, what now? You are still my friends right?”

Twilight walks up. “Um… Pinkie… you look kinda...” Pinkie looks down at her werewolf form. “Oops, sorry.” She slowly transforms back to her normal form losing the extra hair and claws. “Don’t worry guys, that won’t happen again now that I have eaten… sorry you had to see that it’s just that… pegasi are so… tasty.” Pinkie spaces off and drools slightly.

Mobius is over in the corner, attempting to both calm Rarity down and wake Fluttershy up. “Fluttershy… Wake up please… Come on.”

Fluttershy opens her eyes slowly, sees Mobius’s teeth and promptly faints again.

“It’s alright darling, she just needs time to get used to this, we all do. No offence um… what is your name? I don’t think I’ve seen you around ponyville before...”

“Um… My name’s Mobius. I’ve been in Cloudsdale… nice to meet you.”

“Charmed. I’m Rarity, I wish we could have met under…” She glances around the basement, paying close attention to the dark stains on the walls. “Cleaner conditions.”

Mobius smiles “Cleaner or less supernatural?”

She thinks for a moment. “Both.”

After a few attempts Mobius succeeds in waking Fluttershy without her promptly fainting “Hey… You OK?”

“Y… yes mister werewolf I’m... I’m fine.”

Mobius sighs “Please don’t call me ‘Mr. Werewolf’.”

Rarity comforts Fluttershy by saying “Its ok Fluttershy, he is actually quite the gentlecolt.”

Fluttershy slowly walks over to Pinkie. “Um. if its not too much trouble will you let us go?”

Pinkie wraps Fluttershy in a tight hug, earning a startled squeak from Fluttershy. “Of course you can leave. I would never harm you girls, you mean the world to me.” She looks at Dash. “Unless I’m very hungry but that shouldn’t happen again.”

Fluttershy backs away from Pinkie. “You haven’t eaten any of...” Pinkie puts a hoof to fluttershy’s mouth. “No Fluttershy, I would never harm your animal friends, I do my hunting in the woods, away from your house.” Her stomach grumbles, “well, unless a tasty morsel like him comes into town.” Pinkie looks at Mobius.

Mobius, after making sure everyone was alright, or rather mostly alright in Dash’s case, asks “So… What now? We just leave and carry on with our lives?”

Pinkie looks shocked. “Your right! I totally forgot my idea on how to get your dream back!” She moves over to Twilight. “Mobius wants to join the Wonderbolts.”

In the background Dash shouts “Hey! thats my dream!”

Pinkie continues. “So I was thinking about revealing that werewolves exist to the world and making sure that they can get accepted.”

Twilight frowns. “That’s a pretty big step. Are you sure Pinkie? Not everypony will be as forgiving as we are”

Pinkie nods. “I’m sure”

Pinkie leads the girls plus Mobius up the stairs and opens the door. Twilight turns to Pinkie. “You and the girls go talk to Mayor Mare, I’ll talk with Mobius and catch up with you.” The girls nod and head out of Sugarcube Corner, leaving Twilight and Mobius alone.

“You have some explaining to do Mobius. I want to know how you’re involved and what you did to Pinkie.”

Mobius stops dead in his tracks. “You want to hear it from me? Why not Pinkie? You can trust her more, you’ve known her longer.”

Apparently I didn't know her well enough, and I want to hear your side first then compare it to hers, I will be asking her about it and if you hurt Pinkie in any way...”

“Whoa whoa whoa! I didn’t do anything to Pinkie, she turned me into a Werewolf. Without going into the specifics, she was hunting me, captured me, I convinced her to go on a date to buy time then… she fed me tainted food. It had pony meat in it… and it turned me. I woke up in this shed in the Everfree where she…” Mobius stops at this, not wanting to seem like a liar or give Twilight the gruesome details “Do you want to hear the bad part?”

“No, I’ve seen enough today to imagine, what I’m curious about is what you did to make her angry enough to torture you. That doesn’t seem like the Pinkie I know.”

“I didn’t… I didn‘t tell you about that. How did you know?”

Twilight rolls her eyes, “Please...cut me some slack. We both saw her basement, not even the Canterlot dungeons have those kinds of tools. What else would she have done?”

Twilight frowns, “this still doesn’t seem like Pinkie to me, she never seemed like the type to inflict pain on others.”

Mobius sits down “look… You probably won’t believe me on this but… I think Pinkie has multiple personalities. We both know the happy, springy haired one, but there was a cheerless, cold, and droopy haired version that seems intent on murder and torture.”

Twilight looks shocked. “Her birthday! I saw her hair just like you described, she seemed… different.” Twilight sudders. “If we hadn’t cheered her up… wait...” She looks at Mobius intently. “It took a SEVERE shock to make her like that, what did you do to upset her that much?”

Mobius looks uneasy “Um… I don’t really want to talk about it. You would most likely get mad.”

“Please it takes a lot to get me angry….”

Mobius sighs “fine, after the pseudo-date I had revealed that the entire thing was a way to buy time and she got very mad. Then when she recaptured me I spat in her face. Not my brightest idea, but I was low on options. Then after she turned me, tortured me and let me go, when she was taking me hunting I said “no” to her. Then… that other Pinkie came out and started fighting me on it.”

Twilight looks like she is in shock. “You mean to tell me, that when you got captured by an insane sociopathic werewolf it was a good plan to spit in her face? Do you have a deathwish?!” Twilight facehooves “I’m surprised you’re still alive after all that.”

Mobius stands up and paces “look, at the time I thought I was going to die for sure. Ever hear the phrase ‘If you are going down, take as many as you can with you?” That was my philosophy then, but I ended up surviving for whatever reason.”

“I find it hard to believe simply saying “no” to her is enough to trigger the other personality. Can you tell me exactly what happened?”

“She was going hunting, was hungry, and I was resisting. I… I’m not sure which one was the last straw. All I know is the last on in chronological order was my saying “no.” I think the other one hates not being in control.”

“What is the other’s name?”

“I believe she called her Mena.”

“Hm… I also think there is more to it than that, what happened after “Mena” came out?”

“Well… she started assaulting me, stating “You are mine!” and after I expressed my anger at this whole ordeal she tilted her head, as if listening to someone and started talking to herself. After what I think was an argument, the regular Pinkie came back.” Mobius stops pacing and looks around “You and I both know that this is a bad idea. We need to be ready if it goes downhill.”

“From what you're saying it’s pretty hard to trigger her other personality, so I think the Mayor should be fi-”

A sudden sound comes from the town loudspeakers. “WEREWOLVES ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE TOWN” The mic crackles and what sounds like a struggle happens before it clicks off.

Mobius freaks out “Seriously?!? We’re gone for two minutes and this happens? Gah, come on!” Mobius darts away.

Twilight grabs Mobius in her magic and sets him down next to her. “Thats not fast enough, this may feel strange at first.” Her horn glows and in a flash of light they vanish.
