The Wings

The Enemy

After I watched the moon for a while, I went back inside. Ponies started to stir and I got in bed before anypony could be worried. Everypony was still asleep as I tiptoed in.

Rainbow had a nasty snot bubble again but it was bigger than before. I didn't notice it until I popped it. Rainbow woke up with a start but I got into bed and fake slept before she could focus her eyes. Then everyone yawned and got up, including Applejack.

"Good evening, Applejack!" Pinkie said loudly, everypony looked and gathered around Applejack.

"Oh, she's awake. Are you okay? Thank goodness you're alright! Yay! Par-taaay!!" Everypony said at once. Applejack smiled and looked happy. She then saw me on the bed fake sleeping and looked sunken, everypony followed her gaze and looked sullen at me.

"Don't worry, she'll wake up too." Twilight said. That cheered her a little but she still felt sad.

Rarity spoke. "It's not your fault, darling. She got a little poisoned too and you got her here fast. You helped yourself and her."

Applejack nodded and smiled. Everyone had a group hug and I fake woke up. Everypony broke up and wheeled Applejack's bed near mine.

"How are you feeling?" Fluttershy asked.

I replied. "I actually feel alright. I mean, I don't feel sick at all."

Twilight looked at me happily. "Thanks to you for bringing the apple. The doctors made an antidote from the poison."

I felt something was off though, it was way different. Applejack was still kind of weak and was still recovering. Maybe I just taken a smaller dose than her, I got down from the bed and walked in a circle. Twilight looked shocked and went to my side like I was going to fall.

"What's up with you?" I asked.

Twilight hesitated. "You wouldn't be able to stand up during this time. Even if you swallowed a tiny drop of that poison."

Everypony looked confused at me. I was confused too. Pinkie was holdong her hoof on her chin and looked like she was thinking hard. Then she jumped up and a light bulb appeared above her head. LITERALLY.

"Maybe you have a special ability to heal ultra fast and that poison was nothing to your healing ability and that's probably why your body glowed when you were sleeping because that meant you were done healing and you were all better." She walked back and forth when she said this. She also took a deep breath and smiled after. Everypony's jaws dropped.

I said slowly. "What do you mean I glowed and how do you know about this?"

"Weeeellll," she said, "when everypony was sleeping. I woke up to find you glowing when you were sleeping. Plus, I had a hunch." Pinkie and her hunches.

A raspy voice said. "A very precise hunch indeed."

That voice sounds familiar. A panther crashed through the window and he walked slowly over the broken glass to us. Rarity tried to scream but the panther magicked her mouth shut.

"Mm mhhn kmm mph!" She said as she tried to speak. The panther her upside down to his face.

He said with amusement. "Oh Rarity, I would mount your beautiful head on my my mantel if your friends would let me. I doubt if you'd want to be 'shortened at the neck.'" He chuckled and dropped her to us. I growled and went into a prowling position. He shot his heaad toward me and looked at me with disbelief.

He said taken aback. "You! You're supposed to be dead!"

He backed away slowly and bumped his back against the wall. I looked at him confused but still growling. He inspected me from head to toe and relaxed. He chuckled and crept forward.

"It seems Waika found someone to finish her war." He said still chuckling. I cocked my head and spoke to him.

I asked. "Who's Waika?"

He laughed and crept forward some more.

"You mean she didn't tell you? Waika is the name of the cheetah, you fool!" He said wiping off tears of laughter

Waika. What a nice name for her. Why hasn't she told me? Maybe identity issues, I don't know, there must be a reason. I growled and lunged at him. He dodged and I missed.

"Now, now, child," he said mockingly, "you wouldn't want to get hurt, would you?"

I felt my eyes glow and the panther slinked scared behind an empty bed.

I yelled. "DON'T CALL ME A CHILD!"

I pounced on him and we fought fiercely. Feathers and fur went everywhere, I couldn't control my rage. In my head was a battle between sense and blind rage. He was overwhelmed by my fighting ability, earlier in the story, I told you I learned karate, sword fighting and more self-defense techiques. I used all of my knowledge and did well. I knocked him over and he got up holding up an injured paw.

He said menacingly. "Soon, girl. Soon!"

He jumped through the glassless window and flew away. I felt my eyes go back to normal and I slumped to the ground tired. The girls watched the whole battle and stood to their spots frozen. Fluttershy walked up to me and helped me up. She lead me to my bed and I laid down.

The rest snapped out of it and faced me wide-eyed. They bombed me with questions and I was too exhausted to speak. Fluttershy kept trying to stop but they didn't hear her. She got frustrated and yelled at the top of her lungs.

She screamed. "WAIT! I mean, if you don't mind."

Everyone was shocked to see Flutters yell but stopped anyway. I nodded to Fluttershy, shut my eyes and slept.

Editor's notes: I have no idea where to place these pronounciations. Derp!

Waika (way-kah)
Wasez (wah-sehz)

[Also, OMG your past self is mad af at me, Glitzy, because I've been mentally reading her name as "wai-kah."]

Hahahaha, what time of the day is it again? Night time, right? Why does Pinkie say that it's morning? *gets internally confused*

Of course you'll be fine from the poison, Starshine Moon, but what about stomach ulcer? Seriously, that cannot be avoided so easily!! Feed her!

Mane Five, tf are you guys doing?? None of you helped Starshine Moon whatsoever and let that Wasez get away!

Suggestions:

• Mane Six doing something about that corrupted Wasez please? Dude, they literally fought an army of Changelings by themselves.

• Suspicions!! Wouldn't somepony get curious or wonder why the window was broken? How about her screaming? How about Flutters screaming? Oo, think about the paparazzi too!!
