The Lycan Curse
Chapter 5: Memories.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFluttershy laid in her bed, thinking about the events of the day. Mostly what that drink was, and more on what was up with Bon Bon.
I can't believe I actually attacked my friends... I can even remember it plain as day...
Fluttershy turned and changed positions multiple times unable to sleep. Eventually Angel hopped into her room and noticed she was still lying awake. So, he hopped up onto her bed and snuggled under her foreleg.
"Thanks Angel..." Said Fluttershy, as she finally started to doze off...

Fluttershy looked around, as it seemed she was in a large field in the middle of the night. She walked forward for a little while, wondering where everything would lead.
After a little bit, she saw a strange old looking temple of sorts, and flew towards it.
Upon coming to the front, the door opened slowly on its own, and Fluttershy cautiously went inside.
"H-Hello?" asked Fluttershy cautiously, looking around the large dark room.
Suddenly, multiple candles light up around the room, revealing it to have the look of a church, all the way up to a large chair at the very end of it. The building had a Roman style of construction, with only windows up top, other than the clear roof showing the night sky.
Suddenly, a voice spoke from behind, "Hello Fluttershy, you’re looking a bit better than before."
Fluttershy turned around quickly, to see Princess Luna standing in the doorway.
"Oh! Princess Luna!" Said Fluttershy in surprise, "Uhm, w-where are we? If you don't mind me asking."
Luna spoke calmly, "In your dreams, but the setting is from my consciousness. I'm sorry I have not met with you yet, I meant too, but there were other duties I needed to attend to."
Luna walked slowly toward the end of the temple, and Fluttershy followed cautiously.
Fluttershy spoke up curiously as she stared at the structure of the building, "What did you want to meet me about?"
Luna turned around, "I want, actually 'need', to make sure you can handle this yourself. As I spoke of before, in my time, there were more like you, with the curse."
Fluttershy looked at Luna, "Oh, yeah..."
Luna continued, "I understand you had a way of not changing, though that potion did not exist in my time yet. We had more of a, counseling system, to make sure ponies with this curse knew how to avoid hurting others, and some even learned how to control it."
Fluttershy got a bit curious, "Control? I don't know, that seems rather, dangerous..."
Luna looked out one window, "What else is dangerous is letting one of them get a hold of you. Trust me, It would not only be bad for you, but all of us."
Fluttershy raised an eyebrow, "Them?"
"There are some ponies, or things, who know how to use a lycan for their own desires. And lycans, under the control of some pony with bad intentions, are much worse than a lycan out on the loose." said Luna.
Fluttershy thought about that for a second, "Is there any of them, intending to do that to me?"
Luna gave a grave look, "Yes, very specifically too... Celestia and I have been tracking them, but we still know too little information to know who exactly it is."
Fluttershy gulped, "There was an, incident, today..."
Luna quickly replied, "Yes, I know of that already. And I will inform you know that I shall be watching over you for now, until we can get this problem solved. But now that brings me to the main reason I am here now..."
"What is that, reason...?" asked Fluttershy, with a worried look.
Luna walked toward Fluttershy, "I want to try and teach you how to control it."
"WHAT?!" screeched Fluttershy, "I-I-I mean, can't you just get me more of t-the potion?"
Luna shook her head, "I have not the potion nor the supplies to make it. And this way, if something happens, it won't end in tragedy."
"B-But, isn't there anything else? Can't you use a spell to cure me?" Asked Fluttershy, as she tried to think of a way out of this.
"You already know the answer to that." replied Luna, "Listen, I know the idea may scare you... but trust me, this is safer than it seems."
Fluttershy sat there thinking of many things at once, as she quivered under the thought of that. Though, she knew perhaps this was the better way to go.
Fluttershy gave it one last thought, and breathed in before replying, "Okay."
Luna gave a small smile, "Now don't worry, none of this should hurt, but we will not get everything done in one night."
Fluttershy nodded, and Luna continued, "First off, I need to know how you became one. Don't worry, this won't take long."
Luna put her hoof on Fluttershy head, and they were both transported to the night she was bitten. The events played out in front of them, almost like a movie. And through the events, Fluttershy shivered of fear, mostly from the dragon.
"I think that explains more than one thing." Said Luna, as everything slowed down, and time seemed to stop.
Fluttershy responded, "This was the first time I had ever seen the ground, animals, and... Dragons..."
Luna looked at Fluttershy, "Let's speed forward a month now." before she put her hoof on Fluttershy's head again, sending them to the sunset, later at flight camp.
In front of the two, they saw all the young ponies heading back to their sleeping quarters, except for a young Fluttershy, and a young Rainbow Dash.
"Come on Fluttershy! I know you can do it!" said young Rainbow, as they watched filly Fluttershy standing at the edge of a cloud.
Filly Fluttershy looked down, and toward Rainbow Dash. She then took a deep breath, and jumped. Miraculously, she did not fall, and instead flew forward, with speed at that.
"Good job! Now just gain some speed, then bend your wings back!" said Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy started swooping downward, then with closed eyes, pulled off a big loop, before crash landing onto a nearby cloud.
Young Fluttershy covered her eyes, "D-Did I do it?"
Rainbow Dash flew over to her, and pulled her out of the cloud, "You did it! I knew you could pull it off with some morale support!"
Fluttershy opened her eyes, and gave a big smile, "I did it? I did it! Oh My Gosh thank you Dashie!"
Fluttershy gave Rainbow Dash a big hug, whom reluctantly accepted it, even though she was confused by Fluttershy's tail Wagging. She then broke it up after a few seconds "Alright, alright! I think it's about time we get some shut eye. Besides, your wagging your tail again."
Young Fluttershy looked back to her tail, stopped wagging, and replied, "Oh, you go on ahead, I have to do something first."
The rainbow maned filly shrugged, and flew off. While young Fluttershy looked around, before heading to the edge of the cloud and looking down.
"I wonder what they are up to down there, it's been awhile since I was there, maybe I could..." started Fluttershy before feeling her head, "Ow! Darn, headache, maybe I should just go back."
The young Fluttershy started to shiver a bit, and felt her head worryingly. She then decided to turn around and head back to where Rainbow Dash went.
Fluttershy spoke up softly to Luna, "I remember this, Rainbow Dash was always trying to get me to do better than I thought I could."
Luna looked at her, "She is a good friend to have, even if she seems somewhat arrogant."
Fluttershy nodded, and looked over to see the full moon rising.
"Don't worry, this is only a memory." said Luna preemptively.
Upon coming through the inactive courses, Fluttershy was suddenly approached by the two colts that had been giving her trouble most of the time since being there. She wanted to find a way around them, but the two blocked her path.
"Well well well, if it isn't Fluttercry!" Said the darker brown one in a mocking tone.
"Why are you out here? Breaking all the obstacles with your inability to fly?" added the other.
Fluttershy was shivering and sweating, "Uhh, N-No, Could I p-p-please g-go now?" she stuttered.
The two colts laughed, "What?! Lost the ability to talk right? Stuttershy!"
Fluttershy backed away slowly, "N-N-No! J-Just please let m-me go for the n-night, I think I-I-I have t-the flu."
The darker coated colt trotted up to her with a menacing smile "Not until you learn to speak correctly! I think I know what can help."
Suddenly, the two grabbed Fluttershy, and began dragging her towards the bathrooms. Fluttershy tried to get loose by struggling, but with little success.
"P-Please! d-d-don't do this!" cried Fluttershy.
The two colts laughed, as they brought her into the bathrooms, and threw her against the wall.
"What's the diagnosis?" said the lighter coated colt in a mocking tone.
"Inability to speak, likely from inbreeding! You know what this means?" replied the darker one.
Fluttershy covered her eyes and wimpered, as she shook much more, and her mane became more unkempt looking.
The lighter colt smiled devilishly, and grabbed a bar of soap from on of the sinks, "I say we try cleaning out her mouth!"
Fluttershy didn't bother opening her eyes to look, she knew what was coming, "P-P-Please!"
The one colt grabbed her forelegs and held them back, while the other forced her mouth open. Immediately after they both stared at her.
"A-Are those, canines?" asked the lighter coated colt.
Fluttershy opened her eyes, "W-What?"
The two colts took a couple of steps back, and the darker one whispered "Since when did she have yellow eyes?"
The lighter one replied "Or such sharp teeth, and a disturbingly scary look."
The Young Fluttershy sat there against the wall, and felt her head again, while her wings began to grow out slowly, and her mane began to change color.
"What is happening?!" asked the Darker coated colt.
"I-I-I.... Arrrg! I d-don't know!" stuttered Fluttershy.
Fluttershy shook more, and her mane began changing color, as she gave a deafening stare at the two colts. She then stuttered out, "J-Just, l-l-leave, me, ALONE!"
The two colts stood there in shock, as Fluttershy turned from a defenseless young filly, to a large, threatening beast. It was right about then two teacher pegasi burst in.
"Who is here- WHAT THE?!" shouted one.
Pretty immediately, the two colts passed out from fright, and Flutter'wolf' stood up slowly.
"Call animals control! I have no idea what that is but it's bad!" yelled the other Pegasus, as they grabbed the two colts and flew for their lives.
Fluttershy burst out of the bathrooms, and howled across the campus, as security showed up around her.
Rainbow Dash flew out of her dorm, wondering where Fluttershy was, when she suddenly heard the loud howl.
"What is that?!" said the young Dash as she, well, dashed to the noise.
When she got there, she was met by a security pegasi sent flying past her. Suddenly, another one flew into the sky unconscious, and Rainbow went around the corner to see a large monster flying at other security guards.
"Don't worry, I got this!" said Rainbow, as she flew up to the monster.
Multiple animal control Pegasi watched in confusion as Rainbow Dash flew up and Shouted "HEY! Over here!"
Fluttershy, being the monster, turned around, and flew right at her.
"WOA WOA WOA!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she struggled to avoid the flying wolf chasing after her.
Flutter'wolf' pursued Rainbow Dash nearly matching her speeds and skill. Eventually Rainbow led it into the training grounds, and pulled off a barrel roll, avoiding the monster. It then charged back at her, and took a dart to the neck.
"Good shot," said one animal control pegasi to another holding a blow gun.
The monster glared to them, then Rainbow, and slowly lowered down, and fell unconscious too the ground below the clouds.
"So that's what happened..." said Fluttershy quietly, "The next thing I remember after that was waking up in a large cage, in the Cloudsdale animal control building. Although most of the others there were stray birds."
Luna looked back to Fluttershy as the memory faded away, and the temple reappeared around them.
"Well Fluttershy, you will be waking up pretty soon here." said Luna, "Expect me back next time you fall asleep."
Fluttershy looked back to Luna, "Wait! What should I do about the ones you mentioned earlier?"
"Keep an open eye and be cautious, if something happens, I will be there shortly." replied Luna
Fluttershy tried to think of something else to say, but suddenly, she felt a nudging on her shoulder. She then woke up to Angel nudging her on the shoulder, likely wanting food.
Author's Note
I understand this one is short, but don't worry, next time, we will have more of a look at the villain person spy thing.
PS: The cake is a lie, deal with it.
