It had been a few days since I met the gray mare and her filly, her muffins had tasted extremely good but they did little to quench my hunger for flesh. my days just seem to be on an endless loop of hunting everyday, eating what I find, then returning to my cave to rest.

Until this one fateful day that would all change, guards had entered the forest looking for me. They wore gold armor and they all had a white coat. They looked like copies of each other. I watched them from the trees, my antlers blending in to the branches. I got to know their scent and followed the.

"We should set up camp here for the night and continue our search for the beast in the morning." On of the guards suggested. This was perfect for me I could easily take them out in their sleep and I would have enough food to last me for weeks.

I sat in the trees watching them set up tents and a fire place. I had grown very patient while in this new land, it helped me to hunt and focus on my target.

Finally night fell and they sat around their little fire, telling stories and laughing. It sickened me for some reason, to watch the creatures that hunt me laugh and joke about. But thankfully for me I could cut their fun short and have some fun of my own.

"Ok guys before we go to sleep I got to take a leek I shouldn't be to long." One guard stated.
"Alright hope you don't mind if we all hit the hay while you are away." Another jokingly said.

I watched the guard leave his group and trot around and behind the tree I was sitting in. Perfect, an easy target. I dropped from the tree landing on the guard back with a loud crack as my weight broke his back. I quickly but down in to his neck so is screams could be muffled out by the blood pouring out of his mouth

He very quickly passed away from the injury's I had given him, I snuck around the tree very slowly, being carful not to make any noise. I began to make my way towards one of the tents, I poked my large head it to one of them only to find nothing?

"GET IT!" I heard a voice yell from behind me, quickly whipping my head around to see the guards running at me. It was a trap they knew I would find them, I was to focused on the one leaving the groups that I didn't even notice the rest had gone of to hide in the bushes.

I thrusted my head forwards catching one of them off guard, my antlers pierced through his body body impaling him on my head. I reared my head up before shaking it to get the guard off, he was creaming for help as every shake of my head made the antlers ripping in to him more. I finally threw him from my head and just in time to catch another guard across the face with my claws, Ripping off half his face.

I dispatched the rest of the guards easily they were to shocked at how easily I killed the first two that they were not prepared for when I lunged at them. The final guard tried to run away but I grabbed him by is hind leg and dragged him back. I got reedy to rip his face apart with my teeth when he spoke.

"Wait we were sent by Twilight Sparkle to capture you!" I paused starring at him. That is when I spoke my first word in months.

"Where?" My voice was gargled and twisted. But I could make out word.

"In Ponyville in the golden oaks library, that is where she stays!" He rushed his words out, But I understood. I got off him and sprinted towards Ponyvlle. Once I got there I went straight to the to the literal tree house.

I could see the purple mare looking at me through the window, she looked horrified to see me running towards her home. I crashed through the door letting out an awful shriek of anger and rage. Twilight looked at me from across the room with a mix of horror and rage.

"Your quest of violence ends here you... you monster!" She yelled at me. I merely stared her down right before pouncing towards her. She ducked out the way, I crashed in to the book shelf with an audible crack. I lifted my head up and saw one of my antlers fall from my head, blood spilling out of where it would be. I roared in frustration and hurdle towards the mare again, she rolled out the way as my claws impacted the wall. I will give it to her she is agile.

I saw her horn begin to glow before a circle of fire surrounded me. The flames hurt just to be near, my skin felt as if it was boiling away.

"I know what you are and I will free you from this suffering life!" She yells at me again. I didn't understand, all I felt was anger and the hunger. She made a run for the door letting the fire grow in the library. The books lit up in flames fulling the fire more. I looked out a window to see almost the entire town standing there.

The turquoise mare I had traumatized, the three fillies, Twilight and the rest of her friends and finally the last ones I recognized was the grey wall eyed mare and her daughter. The warmth I felt before returned to my chest at the sight of them. Then I understood what is happening this town is freeing me of this life. A life of endless hunger, I tried to smile but couldn't.

The flames didn't burn anymore so I welcomed them letting myself fall in to them as the tree crumbled around me. I felt at peace which is strange considering I wad dying, but was I really living when I changed fully in to the beast?

I closed my eyes hearing the flames crackle. I didn't open them again, them all was quite. No sound, no feeling and no sight.

Finally peace.

The End.
