Knock knock.

"Who could that be at this hour?" Fluttershy asked herself.

Opening the door, she finds a skinny, dirty, scratched up, bruised pony collapsed on the ground.

"Oh my! Are you alright?" She asked worried. "Harry, I need your help! Don't worry you'll be okay."

"Bring her up to my room, but be careful, she's hurt. I'll get the first aid kit."

When Fluttershy returned she found that Harry had placed her on Fluttershy's bed.

"Thank you Harry." She said thanking him. I can take it from here, you should get some sleep."

After cleaning her up a bit and treating her wounds Fluttershy thought she looked familiar.

Fluttershy continued to treat her throughout the night.

The next morning the mare began to stir.

"Uugh, what happened?" The mare asked waking up, finding herself in an unknown bedroom.

She smelled something coming from downstairs.

She winced in pain when getting out of bed and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

"Oh, good, you're awake."

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"Shh, take it easy." Fluttershy lead her to the couch. "I'm Fluttershy and you're in my cottage. I found you last night."

"I don't really remember about last night."

"It's alright. Why don't we start with your name?"

"I'm Pear Butter."

"I'm sorry, but have we met? You seem really familiar." Fluttershy asked.

"I don't know. I can't think, my head's killing me."

"Do you want me to run you a nice warm bath and you can just relax, or I made some breakfast if you want that?"

"A bath would be nice." She answered.

Fluttershy headed upstairs and started the water.

"Poor thing, I should tell the others that I can't hang out today. But I can't leave her here alone?" Fluttershy said.

Once the bath was ready, went to tell Pear Butter. "The water's ready. Do you need any help?"

"Just getting there and getting in probably." Said Pear Butter.

Fluttershy helped her upstairs and get in the bath. "There, do you need anything?" asked Fluttershy.

"No, I'm okay now. Thank ya."

"You're welcome, I'll be downstairs, just call if you need anything."

"I will."

Knock, knock. Fluttershy opened the front door. "Girls? What are you doing here?" Asked Fluttershy.

"You didn't come to the breakfast we had scheduled today." Said Twilight.

"Oh, ah, I'm sorry, it's just something came up, and I well forgot. Sorry."

"Is somthing the matter Darling?" Asked Rarity.

"Well, a mare came here last night. She was pretty weak and and I'm helping her right now." Answered Fluttershy.

"Oh no, the poor dear. Is there a way we can help?" Asked Rarity.

"I, um." Pinkie ran past Fluttershy into her cottage. "Ah, sure, thank you." Said Fluttershy

"Where is she?" Asked Pinkie.

"Uh, She's upstairs. I'll let her know you're here." Knock, knock. "Um, Miss Pear Butter, my friends are downstairs, they wanted to help and make sure you're okay."

"Miss." Pear Butter whispered to herself, remembering that her husband is gone.

"Miss Pear Butter?"

Snapping out of it. "Oh! Ah? Yes, thank ya." She answered Fluttershy.

The girls heard Pear Butter coming down the stairs

"Do you need any help?" Asked Fluttershy.

"No, I'm okay." Pear Butter answered.

When she came down to meet everypony they all stood in shock. With her mane done and coat clean Fluttershy could now recognize her. But it was Pear Butter and Applejack that couldn't take their eyes away.

"Mom?"

"Applejack?"

They ran to each other in a tight hug, tears of joy poring down their faces. Pear Butter didn't care how much it hurt, she just wanted to saver the moment.

"What happened to ya?" asked Applejack.

"I'm sorry, Applejack. It's just... I just,,, Somethin happened."

"Would it be alright if you told us?" Asked Twilight.

"Please Ma. What happened to ya? Where's Dad?"

Buttercup began to cry.

"You don't have to Dear, we all understand." Said Rarity.

Gaining her composure. "No, ya'll should know."

(Flashback)

"Me and Bright Mac were lookin for Apple Bloom, we asked in town but nopony has seen her, so Bright Mac wanted to ask Zecora in the Forrest."

"Bright Mac are you sure about this? What if she's already back at the farm?" Buttercup asked, scared.

"If she is than she's safe and y'all got nothin to worry yourself about." Bright Mac answered.

"What about us? It's gettin late and this forest ain't safe at night, even durin the day ya gots to be careful."

"Don't worry ya'self bout it, ya got me protectin ya."

(Snap.)

"What was that?" Asked Buttercup, scared.

"Get behind me!" Bright Mac, ordered.

"We was ambushed by a pack of timberwolves. Your father tried to protect me before... before he..." She began to cry again.

"It's alright Ma, ya don't need to continue."

(Sniff) "Yes, I do. I was captured."

"Wait, why would they capture you instead of killing you? Asked Pinkie.

"I found out that when one kill a pony, that timberwolf's able to mate with the opposite sex."

"Are ya'll sayin?" Asked Applejack.

"You've got yourself a half timberwolf baby brother." Buttercup answered, nodding. "I've been captured for two years and sense your brother was born, only now he's gettin close that age for breeding and my estrus is soon. I needed to escape before my own son tries breeding with me."

"How come the timberwolf that bred you after you gave birth, also 2 years isn't long enough for a colt to produce sperm." Asked Twilight.

"Somepony must have killed it, cause it and 2 of em never returned from a hunt, and 2 years may be to short for ponies but not for wolves."

"That sounds absolutely horrible being trapped in that dirty forest for so long. And the fear of being bred by your own son." Said Rarity, shivering at the thought.

"Can you guys just say it, she didn't want to get raped by him." Replied Rainbow.

"RAINBOW!" Her friends all yelled.

"No, she's right. I can't keep pretendin to hide that it never happened. We all can't keep avoidin the fact that "I was raped" by that timberwolf. And dancing around the subject won't change nuttin about it."

"But why now? Why were ya gone 2 years?"

"Applejack, you've got Apple Bloom, Big Mac, Granny and all your friends. He had nopony but them timberwolves. I thought that maybe with me there, there might be hope for him, but there never was." Buttercup confessed, crying still.

“But if killing a pony give them the ability to breed with ponies, I’m wondering why they don’t kill your son, so one of them could instead of him.” Asked Twilight.

“He’s a member of their pack, they won’t kill one of their own.”

“But he’s my baby brother, we’ve got to help him.”

"Applejack you don’t understand, he’s more Timberwolf than pony. We should let him live with his kind, his family.” Buttercup said, sadly, having to give up her son.

"Mom, I gave up on ya when I should have kept looking. I ain't gonna do the same to my brother." Applejack said before heading out.

"We should go with her." Said Twilight.

All her friends agreed.

Before leaving. "Will you be okay here by yourself?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yah, I'll be alright." Answered Buttercup.

Everypony followed after Applejack to the Everfree Forest, leaving Buttercup at Fluttershy's.

Author's Note

Because of the subject matter of rape and what will happen at the end of chapter 2, I keep debating that's enough for a mature rating or keep it as teen?
