Greymane a were pony

"Your a bad foal Greymane, why don't you ever listen to your mother." Screamed his mother at him.

Greymane was back to being a crippled foaling who kept messing up on his chores to bring box's of items up and down the stairs. His legs could only crawl at snail pace while he dragged a box of sharp objects with his mouth.

"Honey you know he is no good for helping around the house." spoke the father with cruel smile.

"Don't you spoil him now we are gonna train him to be useful like his brother he will learn to listen." She said with a mock kindness in her voice.

Greymane fell again feeling more anger at himself for being so useless then at his own mocking parents. In his nightmare he could feel every bump and scrape every time. His fall caused him to awake rubbing his head sorely a faint memory sparked in his head. This spark caused him to finally remember his parents leering smiles at his failures. Sweat beaded down his chest as he patted his hooves to make sure they are still there.

"Just a bad dream you silly foal wake up now." Greymane whispered.

Greymane rose up from the floor in his castle room you could see various vines clinging to the walls of the building. The state of the castle did not change much ever since it acquired its own inhabitant. The only noticeable change was a few peach tree's grown in the courtyard over the years that grew incredibly fast due to Everfree's natural magic.

"You are hungry Grey eat more." His inner Timber spoke with a rough voice.

"Ugh I know Timby." spoke Greymane more to himself ever since the beast merged with him.

"Danger outside the Maws are prowling close again." came the voice again.

He turned his ghostly color eye towards the window and he saw small pack of Timber Maws outside the castle boundary. He scratched his head as he thought to himself odd they usually howl right there.As the rest of his body starts waking up he could hear another Everfree storm approaching with its wild clouds shooting lightening in every direction causing him to shrink back into his room.

His inner voice spoke again "Maw's are acting odd sky is acting odd be careful."

He pawed at the floor as the rain poured on the castle making a beautiful sound that made him smile uneasily. He then remembered his visit into a house that had a wonderful Pegasus named Fluttershy. He slightly blushed to himself as his stomach rumbled causing the local rodents to flee.

"Ahh come on guys I never eat you I like my peaches." he chortled.

"Not again I am talking to myself I am glad that she is not here to see me talking to myself."

Fluttershy was already awake and cleaning the house with a happy little hum that caused her critters to get slightly excited. She used her tail to sweep off the counters as she handed down bowls of food for her sweet little friends. The little critters were dancing in harmony as they sang along together in their cute little animal voice's. There was a tap at the door Fluttershy smiled nervously as she approaching the door hoping it was a certain pony.

She creaked open the door to see her friend Twilight with her note book she smiled at Fluttershy with a questions practically firing from her eye's.

"Hi Twilight did you need something." Fluttershy fully open the door to reveal herself.

"Good morning Fluttershy I heard you had another encounter with," Twilight then whispered "The Timber pony from Everfree."

She chuckled quietly at her friend "Yes Twilight I did meet up with Greymane and learned a thing or two about him."

"Strange did you say Greymane?" She questioned as she scribbled in her notebook "Very strange indeed."

"Why's that Twilight?" she asked curiously.

"That because the Greymane's only have one child not two and I am pretty sure there foal wasn't some kind of Timber pony hybrid." she tapped her note book with a quill repeatedly.

"I am sure then that he isn't part of Greymane family then Twilight come lets have breakfast." Fluttershy batted her eyelash's for in truth she hadn't had a bite yet.

Still tapping her note book she observed her dear friend and said with a small smile "Of course girl lets have a ... hey is that Gilda?"

A large shadow flew over Fluttershy's home that shadow was the mighty griffon Gilda who had issues with Fluttershy. The griffon flew over to E'qu no doubt bringing some news from Griffonstone, as she carried a spear covered in ancient runes straddling her back.

"..Yes that is Gilda I know her anywhere I think I am gonna stay home today." Fluttershy closed her door halfway as if concealing herself from the griffon.

"Now Fluttershy Gilda is a reformed griffon who has proven herself time and time again against the changelings to help us escape." Twilight said re approvingl

"..She hasn't proved it to me yet." regret hanging on her words.

Twilight put her book away in her natural pockets as she gave her dear friend a hug with a tight embrace. Fluttershy lingered in her embrace feeling the warmth of someone who loved her dearly.

"I got to go Fluttershy I understand why you must feel you need to stay I shall see you later." Twilight let go of the embrace as she waved leaving the Pegasus of kindness at her home.

She waved back at Twilight as the hunger took control demanding that she eat food. She sighed at her unreasonable stomach then a thought hit her Greymane brought her some fruit from Everfree. Curiousity struck both her and the stomach that complained to her multiple times. She walked upstairs to see the mellow colored fruit that was still laying on the floor boards of her room. She chided herself for leaving it as she picked the fruit up and give it a proper rinse.

"This smells delicious I wonder what kind of fruit it is?" She said to her stomach.

She took the fruit to the window to stare at the sky as she sunk her growing fangs into the delicious peach. She nearly yelped at the pure sweet tender fruit that still made her mouth water. She began devouring the fruit letting the juice slide into the back of throat causing her to rejoice with joy. Apples are a delight but this new fruit was nearly worth obsessing over. This soft tender fleshy fruit full of soft sweet juice that makes you crave more.

Her words echoed without herself knowing it "He is so very thoughtful."

She clasped her hooves over her mouth trying to stop her mouth. She looked at the mirror hanging on her wall with numerous critters decorating the object. What she saw was her body in full bat pony transformation struggling to keep her mouth from talking. This sight caused her to fall on the floor and start laughing she felt like friend Pinkie Pie.

"Hmm I hope she finds her family soon I miss her." Fluttershy whispered to herself.

The giggles wore off as she spied the other fruit left by Greymane and she pounced on it like a predator in hunting mode. Traveling ponies who were passing by her home only heard giggles and loud mouth smacking sounds from the humble abode filled with animals. Fluttershy was staring out her window at Everfree forest as her heart fluttered on thinking of the adventure she had there recently. Her gaze flicked back to E'qu their new home that was hard fought for that still brings her nightmares from that night.

"I wanna see him again," she blew her mane out of face as spoke again "But my friends would be mad if I left without telling anyone."

"Hmm.." she then had a thought "I know I can just leave a note on my door so they would know where I went."

She chortled to herself as she easily reigned in her bat pony appearance which startled her. she stared into the mirror feeling deep in her heart that she always had difficulty controlling the change but now it seemed like a breeze. She shrugged it off for now because she had another adventure to enjoy perhaps maybe some questions answered she thought excitedly. The note was written quickly but yet elegantly as she stuck it to her door no pony in sight.

She sighed at her trembling nervous legs as she peered into the distance towards Everfree.

"Hmm it seems a little dark over there I wonder if they are having another storm?" she thought out loud.

She flexed her wings gently as she took off into the sky flying low towards the dangerous forest that few could call home.

Greymane was staring hard at the peaches in his court yard they have grown quite successfully this year but have become increasingly hard to pick. At first the peaches were just tougher to pull but this year they moved out of his reach each time he tried to take one he thought amused at his tree's. The sky was screaming pouring rain over the forest, he was standing in the storm drenched with a wild smile etched onto his face. He looked towards the pack that stared in his direction nothing he could imagine from these creatures could tell him what they were thinking.

The pack stopped staring at him and reacted as if they heard something leaving the castle boundary to head back into the forest. This peaked his curiously as he followed them silently in the bush. He made sure to be slow and not to make a sound as he followed the pack in the mud and rain covering his scent. He noticed that the leader of this pack seemed smaller than the other Timber Maws around it but each pack mate followed the leader with no disobedience.

He mumbled to himself quietly "What could they be up to?"

Lightening flashed across the sky illuminating the Maws giving him a big surprise. Each of these Timber Maws were injured and the wounds appeared not to heal in the least. This is highly unusual for a Timber Maw he thought wildly but he noticed the pack was switching from scouting patterns to hunting patterns.

"Great they spotted something to attack." he grumbled again.

Greymane was unsure why Timber Maws attacked most living creatures they do not consume meat but rather feed from fruits from the forest. His inner Timber never revealed the information either no matter how many times he would question himself.

"Looks like they spotted something I better observe they don't eat some pony today." he sighed as he prepared himself.

"Hello is any pony out there hello?" came a feminine voice barely audible.

Greymane ears twitched the voice sounded awefully familiar and he hasn't heard many pony voices. The Maws positioned themselves in a decent ambush blood lust was growing in the air. Greymane ghostly eye spotted the lovely Pegasus that landed on a branch in a nearby patch of tree's. His inner Timber spoke Danger be careful causing his hooves to shudder at the prospect of losing her.

"Hello Greymane you out here it's me Fluttershy I still have questions." she said slightly scared.

The Timber Maws howled as they charged the tree scaring Fluttershy higher up the branches getting herself caught on a limb. Greymane saw that she couldn't get herself free easily and he climbed the tree that he was under. The sky was thick with down pour of water causing the tree limbs to be slick he slipped and smashed his mouth on some bark. Blood trickled from his tongue he felt scared but not for himself as he jumped to another branch trying to make it Fluttershy.

"Go away you bad Maws I am not gonna be your lunch." she yelled at them bravely.

The Timber Maws began slowly climbing onto the tree using each other as step's when the situation called for it showing off some intellect unknown to most of them. Greymane was thoroughly impressed with the creatures as he landed on a tree next to her's. He heard a faint gasp as Fluttershy noticed him she tried flapping her wings only getting her self most tangled in the thicket.

"Calm down please lady Pegasus," Greymane pleaded "It's gonna be ok I am going to leap over there and untangle you."

"oh ok please quickly Greymane." she said nervously.

He jumped over there landing on her branch slipping slightly bashing his head against the bark of the tree. The Timber Maws sped up their pace getting really close to their victims the howling grew. Greymane stood up and shook his head before using his mouth to bite through the smaller vines to help release the Pegasus.

"Almost there almost." Fluttershy chanted not paying any heed to the climbing danger.

The last vine snapped releasing her from her trapped fate she flew upwards carefully watching her friend look at with a smile. Greymane noticed that Fluttershy smiled disappeared as she screamed for him but he didn't have much time for he felt the jaws of a Timber Maw grab his hind legs. He was dragged down into the swirling mess of wolves landing painfully on the ground his blood was worn on the leaders mouth.

"Damn it I totally forgot about this sneaky bunch." Greymane stood on his legs barely bringing back old memories.

"Nooo don't you dare!" screamed a dangerous voice from above.

Fluttershy saw Greymane her savior who freed her being pulled down into the mess of Timber Maws and she thought she saw blood on the tree. Her heart raced ten times faster than it could handle, she remembered her vision turning red with a emotion she often refuse's. Anger she could taste her own rage as she transformed into her bat pony body.

Greymane saw in the sky above him a beautiful angry Pegasus who made his heart thump blood was trickling down his leg and he could feel his vision go black from all the damage who took. He fell on the ground his last sight was the crazy Pegasus dashing towards him in a maddening speed that shocked him.

Flutterbatflew in a blur landing on the ground in front of Greymane spraying mud all around her. The creatures stood still considering their new prey who looked quite dangerous.

She raised a hoof and pointed at them with a demuring smile unknown to herself "Little wooden pups cease this playing and go home."

The leader stood forth with a heavy growl as the rest stood forth and joined in bringing a madness to the air. Flutterbat put her hoof down and took to the air in a blazing speed. She created a tiny turnado around Greymane flying faster as she chanted to herself over and over "you can do it flutter's."

The mini tornado brought in loose limbs slamming into the pack and throwing many in random directions. This startled the leader she turned to squint at the crazy Pegasus before sending a retreat howl that caused the rest of the pack to flee from the enemy. Fluttershy crashed into a nearby tree causing her to be dizzy as she tried to stand up.

"Not doing that again my head hurt's" Flutterbat rubbed her plot that hit the tree.

"Oh no Greymane." she rushed over to see the injured earth pony.

"This is too much blood I must get him back to E'qu we can heal him there." She grabbed the earth pony and felt an amazing weight.

She felt that his body is like a tiny boulder that was covered in scars that brought a certain charm to her eye's. But his blood still flowed that should have clotted by now her mind raced right into a conclusion Timber poison.

"Not good I need a stretcher." She spied a few large leaves and the damaged vines that held her in the branches above.

She made a makeshift stretcher that she put Greymane on it was heavy but much easier to use as she pulled the wounded friend towards E'qu. She would stop and use whatever herbs she scented with her powers to slow down the bleeding her heart raced with worry. Mid day upon them the storm would not give up pouring upon them in a beastly fashion she heard much rustling in the bush's but she would not slow down her pace. The forest was acting up as many creatures were scurrying around and the tree's appeared to watch them in a mocking way.

"Stop staring and get out of the way!" She practically roared.

The forest went quiet for a bit before resuming its odd behavior she felt the mud slowing her down as she pulled over and over. She heard groans from behind her and she turned her head to look upon him he was mumbling something.

"Mommy please don't leave please." it was a child like voice pleading.

"Huh he must be having nightmare's." Flutterbat felt a tinge of sympathy as she pressed on.

The weeds of the forest would on occasion wrap around the make shift stretcher making it more difficult for her to pull. She would trudge on feeling that danger was behind her still following them making her nervous.

"Hey this doesn't look the way I came..." her words trailed off realizing to herself that she is lost.

"I don't know this area or this forest very well Greymane," she walked over to his body and shook it lightly "Please wake up please."

There was no response which brought tears to her eye's she began sobbing as she lay next to him. She felt so tired searching the area attempting to figure out where they are. She thought about flying up but her wings have soaked for to long and were strained from all the pulling with her body. Greymane chest heaved slowly with each labored breath she realized he was in the middle of a fever. She cursed herself for failing her new friend when she heard a voice above them.

"There you are Fluttershy I was looking for you then I read your note." came a terrifying voice that she tried to forget.

A large shadow flew over head as a rough voice pierced the fog of Fluttershy's memory. The gust's of wind from her wings blew nearby twigs and leave's away from her landing spot giving the kind Pegasus an idea.

Gilda landed nearby furling her wings as she approached her slowly "Look umm I am really sorry about the last few times we met I was huge jerk and.. Hey are you ok?"

Fluttershy looked at the griffon with a plan in action that she needed her old bully to help her with. Fluttershy stilled her heart as she took a few breaths giving her self courage to ask something very simple but difficult for her.

"Gilda would you please help him I beg you." Fluttershy stood up staring her bully in the face.

Gilda looked over Fluttershy shoulder to see a wounded earth pony on a broken stretcher. She raised her eyebrows at Fluttershy's state which was all bat pony that had startled the griffon.

"Umm sure no problem but are you ok?" Gilda said with mild concern in voice.

"I will be much better when we get back to E'qu." Fluttershy said with nervous energy.

"Yea no problem good thing I found you in this storm you were heading in the opposite direction dwee.. Fluttershy." she said with an old habit.

Gilda walked over to Greymane and hoisted the earth pony onto her back with a slight grunt. She shifted her weight around getting prepared to take to the sky with a few final words that she said again.

Gilda spoke with sympathy "I truly am sorry Fluts."

Fluttershy only nodded her head at the griffon warrior as they both took to the sky. Fluttershy was able to regain her flying strength with the last dredge's of her strength to push her on to make sure Greymane made it back to E'qu.
