The Tale of the Timberwolf

Chapter 1

Previous Chapter

The Ponyville citizens looked at the group of ponies in horror at the blood that cover them. "He-He's dead," Berry told the townsponies. The ponies just eye Berry because she was the only pony that didn't have blood on her. They looked at her in suspicion.

"The timberwolf gobbled him all up," The mare that didn't mind Berry tagging along told the ponies that lived in the town. They all backed away from her because of her aggressiveness.

"How badly?" One of the younger mares asked. The other mare glared at the younger mare.

"Didn't you hear her?" She started. "She said that he's dead! D-E-A-D! Gone forever!" She shouted. Berry galloped up to the mare that was fuming in anger.

"Stop it, please," the hurt mare tells her friend. The other mare just gazed at her in a way that made Berry frown slightly. The mare then sighed and she calmed down.

"Fine," she softly says, walking away from the group. She suddenly wanted to get away. She gazed at Berry again and she wished that she wasn't so forgiving. She ran off, but she heard Berry's cry to talk to her later. She didn't answer, but she did turn to acknowledge that she heard the mare. She's so fucking forgiving! What if she was the one that was killed?! He was thinking of killing her. She thought. She decided to calm down, because her anger was strong and she was mean and very abusive when angry.

......

Berry was sadly looking at the place where her friend was just standing. Her friend didn't want anypony, but her to know her name. Her name was Rough Record. Berry affectionately calls her "Re-Re" from time to time. To everypony else, she was "Stranger" or "Weird Mare". Rough Record didn't care about their opinions; she wasn't programmed to care about their feelings. Rough Record was a hard mare to get along with. How she and Berry got along was a mystery to some.

"Your friend is very aggressive, miss," one of the stallions tells Berry. Berry smiled at the stallion.

"She's always like that. It's her personality," Berry admitted. The stallions and the other ponies just stared at her with a strange look in their eyes.

"How are you friends with a mare like that?" One of the younger ponies asked Berry. Berry smiled.

"She's nice when you get to know her." Berry answered. She knew that Rough Record was only nice to her, but she didn't want to say that. It is possible to like only one person and Rough Record was that sort of pony who only liked one pony. Rough Record is naturally aggressive, however, as she is very distrustful. However, dealing with Berry's shy nature made Rough Record smile a whole lot more and she was at least a lot nicer when's Berry is around. Berry was easily made into Rough Record's best friend because the mare didn't want anypony but her to be her friend.

Berry didn't want to leave Rough Record by herself, but she was too angry at the moment and Rough Record didn't know how to control her anger and no one tried to help her because they were scared of her. She was prone to violent outbursts and fighting. Berry remembered the first time that Rough Record got into a fight because her honor was at sake. Rough Record had seen Berry getting bullied by some older stallions and she roughed them up pretty badly. The only reason that she wasn't arrested was because somepony had seen the stallions mess with Berry and Berry was still considered young at the time. At the age of 17, however, she is considered a young adult.

Berry looked around and she saw everypony's disapproving stares directed at her and she suddenly wanted to flee from them as a heavy breath was released from her throat. She knew that they already hated Rough Record, even though they didn't know her at all. They just thought that since she was violent, she was a mare to stay away from. This wasn't the Ponyville that Berry was told about at all. Berry was told that Ponyville was a town filled with friendly ponies. This wasn't friendly at all. She sighed.

She slowly walked away from the town and she sat by the town's entrance. She didn't feel welcome at all.
