Dawn's new day.

"Run Pear," Bright Mac yelled at me through the rain as he bucked his powerful legs into a Timberwolf, earning a few large splinters in his hooves as it broke apart. My stallion was already bleeding heavily from bite marks and scratches across his body though I could only see him during lightning strikes.

"No, I won't leave you here," I screamed at my husband from on top of our wagon swinging my branch turned weapon. "Come on we are so close to town we can…" I didn't get to finish as another Timberwolf destroyed our cart's wheel causing me to tumble into the mud that we had gotten stuck in. As I watched my husband struggle, I cursed the mud and rain that had delayed us and forced us to stay out this late in the evening on the road.

"Pear!" Bright yelled, breaking me from my shock, as he threw himself in front of me earning another bite to his neck showering me in blood.

I could do nothing more but watch in horror as my husband fell before me so, I decided it was time to close my eyes and accept my fate while apologizing to my foals as the wolves surrounded me.

"Oh no you don't!" An unknown voice rang out as I was blinded by a lightning bolt incinerating the closest approaching Timberwolf .

My hope returned as a Forest Green Pegasus with a windswept ocean blue mane called the lightning down and suddenly landed before me. Her Cutie mark of a yellow leaf with a lightning bolt on it blowing in the wind caught my eye with how it stood out on her coat. "Stay away from her you monsters." the new combatant yelled then flung more lightning from her wings engulfing the area.

I watched in morbid fascination as the mare destroyed the rest of my attackers with ferocity not often found in ponies. Once the adrenalin wore off I was unable to remain conscious and quickly passed out while thinking of my foals.

"Dewy Come quick!" Forest Breeze yelled into her house after bucking the door open, "I need your help."

"What do you think you are doing yelling like... Sweet Celestia what happened?!" Morning Dew yelled then ran over to her wife as she noticed the bleeding mare upon her back.

"Timberwolves," Breeze set the muddy bloody mare down on their couch, no thought to the mess, "I found Her being attacked along the road while out on patrol. This Tartarus dammed storm has brought them out all over." Her voice still louder than she intended.

Morning ran out of then back into the room with the first aid kit and began treating the Mare, "Language!" This earned her a deadpan look to which she rolled her eyes, "these wounds don't look as bad as I feared, I can treat her with my magic and the kit so its good you saved her, but why is there so much blood?"

Sires Hollow wasn’t large enough or close enough to a larger city for its own hospital so bringing the mare here had been Forest’s best option.

Forest took a breath and sighed, "I'm glad she will be ok but her traveling companion wasn't so lucky. The wolves got them before I arrived so I don't even know if it was a stallion or mare. The blood is from that partner, they protected her and she got covered in it when they fell, even the rain didn't wash it all off." Forest pinned her ears back.

Morning gasped and covered her mouth with her forehooves. “These poor ponies, for once this week I'm glad Dawn is up in Canterlot being close to ‘Them’ is better then a Timberwolf attack."

"Focus Dewy, how's the mare doing?" Forest asked while cleaning herself up a bit using an old towel by the door.

Morning Finished another healing spell after cleaning up one of the wounds. "She is stable, her back leg looks broken so it will take me some more time to heal it." Morning Had never thanked her CSGU schooling more than now.

"Good," Forest turned towards the door, "I'll see you later then."

"And just where are you going?!" Morning stared at her wife as a few wisps of smoke trailed from her mane.

"Dewy, You know I have to get back out there. There could be others who need help like this mare on a night like tonight. You also know I will be just fine." She hugged her wife then left but not before saying, "I love you."

Pear Butter awoke to the sound of distant thunder laying on a couch in an unfamiliar house. As she looked around her ears swiveled towards snoring coming from nearby on the floor. When she looked around she spotted a Dark Blue Unicorn mare with a light purple mane. Her Cutie mark of a Sunrise in the rain comforting.

"He-hello," Pear’s voice cracked so she tried again. "Hello?" This got the mares attention and she woke up with a snort.

"Oh thank Celestia you're awake. Are you feeling ok, any pain?" She asked.

"I feel fine considering. where am I, who are you?" Pear’s voice cracked again prompting the mare to pass her a glass of water.

"You're in Sires Hollow and I'm Morning dew. My Wife Forest Breeze found you and brought you to our home after the attack so I could treat you. We don't have a proper hospital emergency in town just a small clinic for a traveling doctor." She told me while looking a bit sad.

Pear’s eyes went wide as she remembered what happened. "My husband, Bright Mac where is he, Can I see him?" She franticly looked around the room but noticed Dew’s ears pin back.

"I'm sorry dear but it was too late. He couldn't be saved, my wife couldn't retrieve the body while saving you." As she finished telling Pear what she already knew she broke down crying. It wasn't long before Pear found herself wrapped in a hug.

"You will be ok. We will make sure you get home safe and sound once this storm ends."

Pear nodded in defeat, "thank you I need to get back to my foals and let them know."

Morning Dew gasped, "They weren't with you were they?"

Pear shook her head, "No, Thank Celestia, they're back home on our farm."

Before the two could speak any further the front door opened, and Forest Breeze, Pear’s savior, walked in drenched. "Sorry I'm late Dewy I," She paused then gently smiled when she saw Pear awake, "Well I am glad to see you woke up."

"Thanks to you," Pear laid back down from the exhaustion, "But I think I will sleep some more." She then curled up, unable to think about anything but her foals and their, now dead, sire.

As Forest Breeze and Morning Dew spoke their voices lulled Pear Butter back to sleep before the two could try to engage her in further conversation.
