Scootaloo was having a horrible day. It started when her, Sweetie Belle, and Applebloom crusaders decided to try and get their cutie marks by exploring the Everfree Forest. When they came across a pack of timberwolves was when it all went to tartarus.
……………………………………………..
“Why are we doing this?” asked Sweetie Belle, as they walked through the the trees.
“Duh, to get our cutie marks of course, replied Scootaloo.
“Ah still think this is a bad idea,” said Applebloom.
“What, are you scared?”
“Ah’m not scared,besides, ya know that not supposta be out
here,” said Applebloom.
“We’re fine sofar. What’s the worst that can happen?” replied Scootaloo as they neared a clearing.
“You idiot! You're not supposed to say that. Especially when we are in a place like this,” Sweetie Belle said.
“You're both just a couple of foal,”said Scootaloo as she pushed aside some bushes to enter the clearing, ”the is nothing out here!”
The universe must have been having a bad day, because no sooner had she said that did she see the timberwolves sleeping in the clearing.
As her friends caught up with her they to noticed the wolves. Slowly, they quietly backed out of the clearing.
*SNAP*
The snap of that twig, while quiet normally, was all it to wake the wolves. As the woke up one of the yawned and out of the corner of his eye notices the crusaders frozen with fear with Scootaloo still holding the bushes to the side. It started growling and walking in there direction which got the other wolves attention.
“RUN,” yelled Sweetie, as the young fillies started running for their lives.
Behind them they heard the wolves howl and start to chase them. The wolves chased them for a good mile or so when Applebloom tripped on a root and hurt her leg.
Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle stopped and turned back to get her. ‘Oh no,’ thought Scootaloo, ’they will catch us if we don't do something!’ And after looking at the others she, in a moment of extreme courage or major stupidity, ran past Applebloom and Sweetie Belle and started covering their location in branches and sticks.
“Stay there and be quiet,”said Scootaloo as she ran towards the timberwolves yelling to get their attention, she ran as fast as she could away from her friends and deeper into to the Everfree hoping the wolves would only chase her.
As most of the wolves chased after Scootaloo, two stayed to try and find the other fillies. As they got close to where Applebloom and Sweetie Belle were hiding Zecora who happened to be looking for herbs in that part of the forest heard the wolves and chased them away.
……………………………………………..
Scootaloo ran as fast as she could from the timberwolves. She didn't know how long she was running but she was getting tired. She was covered in small scratches and bruises from the bushes and low hanging branches she ran through. Seeing a big tree she climbed up it and hid.
The wolves run by and for a second she thought she had lost them but as they were nearing her line of sight they stopped and turned around. They started to sniff the air to try and find her but lucky for Scootaloo it started to rain. Only a little at first but as time went on it got heavier and heavier. Soon the rainstorm turn into a full blown thunderstorm.
The wolves at this point had given up and left. Scootaloo, as tired as she was, knew she had to shelter or she would get sick. So after waiting a couple of minutes she climbed down the tree and went in what she thought was the way she came from.
After walking for a few hours it started to get dark. ‘I should be nearing the edge of the woods soon,’ she thought tiredly. After a couple of minutes she saw light coming from in between the trees. Dragging her tired and aching body through the trees she soon found herself in a clearing with a big building in it. She was so exhausted she couldn't take another step.
As she fell over and her eyes started to close she saw the front door of the building open and a big pony walk out. As the pony walked over to her she felt herself passing out. The last thing she heard was a deep voice talking.
“Lets get you inside little one.”
