As she got closer, she heard a single scream in the distance. She froze for a moment, and then quickly pushed the cart's yoke off of her. She ran in the direction of the scream, wondering frantically what was going on.

Now extremely nervous, but wanting to help any ponies in distress, she continued cautiously on towards the original roaring noise.
