Chapter one: into the woods

I started through the forest so I could some food in me. I was hungry out of my mind and all I had eaten was a apple I found the day before. As I walked through the forest I kept my nose on alert for any smell, and my eyes peeled for any fruit trees that I could eat from.
As I walked through the forest I smelt all sorts of things. Raccoons, birds, snakes, bats, and something that smelled like a skunk mixed with Manhattan garbage. All of a sudden, I caught a sweet smell.

"It smells like sugar, spice, honey...berries!" I said out loud.

I followed my nose towards the sweet sent of berries. The closer I got, the hungrier I became. As I followed my nose, I smelled the skunk stench again. I guess I am going in that general direction. As I came into a small clear spot, I saw a large mound of all sorts of fruit. Apples, pears, grapes, bananas, and any other fruit I could think of. As I pranced towards it i spotted a small pond of clear, crisp water. I lapped up a gallons worth of water and started to eat the fruit, not thinking of where it can from.

After I at a apple and some cherries, I heard a growl come from behind me. As I turned,I gasped at what stood before me. A small pack of timber wolves crouched in front of me.Their green eyes narrowed at me, claws extended, and teeth beard.

I ran threw the forest as fast as I could.The howls of the wolves behind me sent a rush of adrenaline through my veins. I jumped over a fallen tree and straight into a thorn bush. As I untangled myself I heard a growl behind me. As I got the last thorn out of myself from the last vine,I turned to see four of the wooden wolves behind me. The timber wolves where three times my size, had large oak bodies with wooden spears for teeth, and caused a horrible smell like nothing any ponies, or in my case, wolves, could smell.

"Hey, buddies. Your not mad that I ate some of your fruit, are you?" I said.

I was answered with a low growl from all of them. I felt my breath become cold as some ice escaped my muzzle and touched my black nose. My breathing became heavy and quick. As I knelt down the timber wolves gave me a odd look. When I thought that it was over, I stood back up. As I did the ice came back and the next breath that came out of me, a large mist of icy wind propelled out of my muzzle. When the mist faded, I saw that all four of the wooden creatures where frozen solid in a a block of ice.

I turned toward the right and continued running. The wolves would not thaw for a couple hours, but she had to get away from what she did.

*Zecora's POV*

I walked out into the Everfree woods, and I saw a blur run by. As i was nocked into the brush, i was only to be met by another rush. A horrible stench insulted my nose, and , a pack of wolves came trampling by, and i know somepony went and angered the timber wolves.

I feared for the poor pony so to tell i went to help and see if she is well.As I followed,the temperature got colder. As I came to a stop, and what I saw made me gasp.A block of ice stood in the path,and inside were the timber wolves. I had no time to comprehend what had happened when the pony ran right,so i followed. I came to a stop when I heard a sob. and in front of me, sat a wolf. She was white as snow with blue markings down her back. I i stepped to get a better look, but my hoof snapped a twig under me.When she heard it, the stood up and ran the other direction.
I followed close behind, she was fast and nimble as a snake, and i had a hard time keeping pace. When I saw where she was headed, I stopped and tried to stop her, but i was to late.She barreled into the poison joke, and the plant took effect right quick.The wolf stumbled and fell. It was clear what the plant did. Like what happened to Rainbow dash, the wolf hd lost all her speed and stealth, and was now a clumsy oaf.
she turned right, then left,and..ooo...ow...ran,head first, into a tree.She fell to the ground with a moan and did not get up. I walked over to her and looked to see if she was okay.Now that i see her face I see thet she has blue markings on he face,too. She had blue streaks from her muzzle to her neck all the way to her tail. I saw that she was out like a light, so lifted her onto my back. She was surprisingly light as i trotted back to my tree.

Chapter 2: When in a tree with a zebra...

*Flurry's POV*

I was conscious, that was about all I knew. I was no longer in the forest, for I did not hear the sounds of life, and I could not see. I was on something soft, like foam, and the air smelled of herbs. I opened my eyes, but everything was fuzzy. I heard steps on hard ground, so I sat up quickly, which was a mistake. My head throbbed as I laid back down.

"Do not worry, little one, that tree you took was not much fun." Said a voice.

As I looked up as my vision cleared, and I saw a pony, or a zebra for that matter. She was spooning a strange liquid into a bowl and set it in front of me. It smelled of rosemary, basil, and mustard.

"Please miss, drink this, it will lessen the pain that you did gain." She said.

I drank the brown liquid.It did not taste bad, it tasted like various spices and herbs, and something like pepper,spicy.

"Now, what is your name, and what is your aim in this land?" She asked.

"My name is...Flurry, and I aim to get some food in me." I frowned.

"I will help you with that goal, only when you finish what's in your bowl." The Zebra said.

"Okay then miss..."

"Zacora." The zebra smiled.

"It is a pleasure to meet you miss Zacora. Thanks for your hospitality." I said with a smile.

It was a day or two until I left the tree. Zacora asked if I could help get some food and bring it back to her home before I left. I agreed, it was the lest I could do for her,since she took care of my wounds.

"While we walked Zacora made talked adout her travels, and the things she has seen.

"You know that you did heal incredibly fast, much better than any pony I have seen in the past." She said to me.

"Hu,that's good." Is all I said. I had no clue how to respond to that, but I took it as a compliment.

We continued to walk in silence. As we exited the forest, there was a path that lead up a hill. I feared that we might run into other ponies. I don't get along with many other ponies, they look at me funny, just because I am a wolf. I never hurt any pony, I have the same diet, act the same way, and speak the same language, but I do understand other dogs or wolves. I usually get in trouble when I try to help, or when ponies just see me walk by. I eventually get run out of town with a few cuts or bruises on me. I hate it. It is even worse on a full moon of the day before, like today. I get more aggressive on those days.

As we stepped on the crest of the hill, I looked down to see the cutest little town in Equestria. That was my first thought, my second thought was to flee. The only thing that stopped me was cause I told Zecora that I would help her bring her groceries back. I must honor my word, so I am going to stick it out and be a good guest, though, logic was screaming to get out of here ASAP.

Chapter 3:Ponyville

Flurry's POV

As I walked with Zecora threw the crowd, ponies gave me strange looks. I felt my anger flare and I glared at them all. I stopped myself from growling at the ponies. I never opened my mouth, cause most ponies ran away at the sight of my teeth. We kept walking. I carried bags for Zecora as she paid for her items.
As I picked up a bag I fell over something. As I lifted myself from the ground, I see that I tripped over a baby dragon! He was small,only came up to the top of my leg, he was mostly purple with green eyes,ears, and his stomach.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I said to him. "I didn't hurt you did I?"

"Nah, I'm good miss..." He stopped as he saw me. He was shocked. His mouth dropped to the ground. I stood up and tried to act casual. I smiled, not with my teeth, though.

"If you are not in a hurry, let me introduce you to miss Flurry. Flurry ,if you like,I would like for you to meet my friend Spike." Zecora smiled.

"Hi. It's nice to meet you." I said.

"What are you?" He asked.

"I...well..."

"Spike!" Said a new voice.

I looked up to see a purple pony coming towards us. She was a alicorn, though she was not Luna,Cadence or Celestia, so she must bu the newest princess,Twilight Sparkle. From what I heard, she lived in a small town and had some amazing powers, or something.

"Hi,Zecora." The princess said with a smile, then turned towards me.

"Hi...you?" She frowned.

"Hi." I said shyly. "I'm Flurry."

"Hi, Flurry. I'm tw..."

"I know princess Twilight. It's nice to meet you."

"Just Twilight,please." She said. There was a awkward silence."Um..yeah. So...where you from?" She asked.

"Um,well...I'm... I don't know." I sigh. It would be better not to lie.

"Well,then how do you know your name? Do you have a home?Are you homeless?" She asked quickly.

"Um.. Well,I don't ever stay in one place,so... I guess I'm homeless." I frown. "And the moon told me my name was Flurry."

"The...moon?" Spike frowned.

Twilight looked at me curiously. "Um, are you free for lunch, Flurry?"
