A dash of fire

   Chapter 1:

Fans screaming chasing me around never having time to myself the reasons for leaving the wonderbolts went rushing through my head. Now trying focusing on enjoying the time away I am flying over the Everfree forest without a cloud in the sky it was one of my favorite things to do. The wind flowing through my mane as my wings beat against the sky reminded me of my years as a Wonderbolt. The sky was mine to control and mine to explore during my flight, I felt free like a bird in a never ending ease. I flew over the peaceful forest until something unusual caught my eye.

I descended to the ground as an uneasy feeling started to overwhelm me. Once my hooves hit the dirt I felt as if eyes were staring me down, the experience made me feel like an escaped convict. I brushed off these feelings and observed my surroundings.

Man, I’m thirsty. I searched for a few seconds until I noticed an old weeping willow. There I found a small pond being shaded by the old tree. I proceeded to submerge my muzzle when my ears perked up at the sound of a twig snapping.I started to hear heavy pounding like a bear stomping.

Keep calm and don’t make any sudden movements. I picked my head up slowly and looked into the depths of the Everfree forest. A singular howl pierced my ears. Oh dear Celestia, Timber Wolves! My bones began to chill and right at that moment I sprang into a full gallop, dodging trees, bushes, and brambles. I outstretched my wings getting ready to take flight ready to flee the horrid place.

Just as my hooves left the ground I felt a pair of jaws clamp down hard on my wing. I turned to notice my fears were true - it was timberwolves. I shook one of the timberwolves off of me and daringly tried to escape. Just as my hooves left the ground off a second time I found that I was in no condition to fly. Another timber wolf pounced on my back forcing me back to the ground. I moaned in agony and then started screaming for help.

”Help! some pony help me!” I felt the Timber wolves teeth ripping out my feathers as another latched onto my neck.  This is it. I’m done for. I screamed in pain waiting, for help, help that wasn’t guaranteed. I grit my teeth and tried to kick them off when I heard a voice.

“Oh man this guy’s in trouble, we gotta help, Fluttershy!”

Who is that?

“Uhm, uh, I don’t know Rainbow Dash they look awfully... a-angry.”

Could it really be Rainbow Dash?

“Nah, we can handle them! You go talk to them and I’ll take care of the rest!”

Right as I heard these voices I felt The timber wolves shoved off of me.

“Oh man you’re hurt pretty bad! Fluttershy, help me take this guy to the hospital, I don’t even know if he’s still alive! Hey buddy, speak up if you’re alive!”

“Uh, Rainbow I don’t think he is.....breathing..”

I could barely open my eyes or make out what the voices were saying. I was beginning to feel woozy due to the amount of blood loss in the attack. I let out a soft whimper but the only thing I could get out. “Help me.” I then found myself slipping into unconsciousness trying to fight it but failed. One figure went to my side and nudged me with her muzzle.

“He’s alive we need to get him help.”

“But Rainbow Dash I..”

“No he needs our help NOW! Grab his leg!”

I then felt two pairs of hooves latch onto me and suddenly we were in flight, soon afterwards, I passed out
