Deep in the Everfree

"Goodbye, Scootaloo."

"NO!"

Applebloom, with Sweetie Belle still attached and sobbing, plummeted into the chasm. A large rock jutting out the side of the cliff broke their fall. With a loud crack, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom smacked into it, rolled off the side, and collapsed on the ground, limp.

"No," Scootaloo cried, "no no no!" She looked up and saw the timberwolf, still making an effort to get across. It was going around, and at the speeds timberwolves were capable of running, Scootaloo guess it wouldn't take the thing more than two minutes to tear her to shreds. She wanted to mourn and grieve for her lost friends, but she needed to first save herself. She darted off into the woods.

Crash! Fluttershy jumped up and looked around. "H-hello?"

She slowly slipped out of bed and made her way into the guest room, the loud creaking of the floor getting louder and more atrocious with each and every step. "Fillies? Are you in there?" After a pause with no sound, she whimpered a bit. "Applebloom? Scootaloo? Sweetie Belle? Hello?"

Fluttershy put her hooves on the door and pushed. They had locked the door. She took a step back to open it, and her front hoof got covered in something sticky. She put it up to a wall torch nearby. Her hoof was red. Breathing quickly, she looked at the ground. It was coming from their bedroom.

"Fillies!" She yelled, slamming into the door with all of her might. The door came down with a thud, sending splinters into her shoulder. She let out yet another whimper, then looked on the ground. She wiped her brow when she saw the source of the liquid. With a sigh of relief, Fluttershy discarded the now-empty juice box. However, it didn't take long for her worries to grow once more. The girls had left.

Bed sheets were everywhere on the ground, pillows had been torn apart, and the window had been cracked open. The safety locks she had used to prevent just this were clearly a waste of bits. The mare thrust her head out the window, making sure she didn't cut her neck on the sharpened glass. Looking down, she saw a rope hanging on her wall, with a red brick at the bottom. That would explain how they got out, but had they gone?

She answered her own question in a matter of seconds. The only place they ever go when they leave her house. Fluttershy absolutely hated the Everfree. Unfortunately, she knew both Applejack and Rarity were out of town, and Twilight had family visiting. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash probably didn't know much about the forest, either. Fluttershy went downstairs, creaked open her door, and...

...set off for the Everfree Forest.*
