A loud bang at my door woke, almost falling out of my bed.
“Stupit! be careful!” I could hear my mother yell at somepony. “My son is still asleep.”
I thought about opening my door to see what was up, but I decided not to. I teleported out of my house and I saw Night and Twilight talking about something. Discord and Fluttershy were close behind. I could also see Night was carrying two sheaths for swords, both had swords in them, they were crossed on his back.
Twilight was talking about something when Night held his head down low, she saw this and laid a wing on his back.
“She does have wings..knew it.” I said softly. I slowly walked up to them.
“Oh Night, it won’t be that bad.” Twilight said to Night. I got closer as Fluttershy spotted me.
“Oh...hi.” She said softly. They all turned to me.
“H-hi.”
“Oh, Hello Shadow.” Twilight said laughing a bit.
“Oh..hi.” Night said, trying to smile.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, maybe I shouldn’t have.
He teleported away, leaving one of the swords. I looked at it, a name engraved in it: Night Wing. Twilight walked over and picked it up in her magic, flinching a bit.
“Twilight, what’s wrong?” I turned to see if the other two were there, but nope.
“N-nothing...just..grr.” She put it on her back.
I knew something was up, I surrounded my magic around it and as soon as I did, my horn was burning.
“Gahh!” Twilight stopped me.
“Shadow, you okay?” She helped me up. “Need to be careful, these swords can burn off a normal unicorn’s horn.”
I looked at her confused. “You had trouble just holding on to them and you’re a alicorn.”
“Well, yes, but I was made a alicorn.” She smiles. “Just leave Night alone, my friend needs time alone, for now.”
She flew off, a blackish mist following her from the sword. I looked around, no pony in sight. I took a look at the town clock: 12:37.
“Great, everypony is at work, well most.” I said to no pony. i walked to the candy store, bumping into Pinkie Pie.
“OH HI!” She yelled jumping around.
I smiled, the one pony I could always play pranks with, well that was back in the day. “Here for the candy, Pinkie?”
“Of course, what pony wouldn’t!” The canterlot candy store was always full. “Here.”
She dumped a hoof full of candy on me as I grabbed a sucker. she smiles as I took a lick, cherry. “Thanks, but I have to-” The shadow of Night walking by stopped me.
“Hi, Pinkie, any idea what’s up with him?” I turned back to her.
She smiled. “Oh dear...I forgot his birthday was close! I got to go get the party ready!!” She ran off.
“Well....great!” I said to myself as I started back home. Strangely I didn’t see Lightning anywhere. “Wonder where he is at.”
As I walked into my house my mother stopped me. “son, go get ready we are heading into town today.”
I sighed as walked upstairs as I started to get ready. I brushed my fur down, brushed my teeth, felt more like a school day. I soon finished and walked back down stairs as I heard Night knock at the door. I walked to it and opened, he was really mad at something.
“Shadow, whatever you do, don’t smile or anything tonight. The brothers are here with something that can find vamponies and it works.” He ran off before I could ask anything as my parents asked who was that.
I told then it was Night and we walked off, sure enough to the show Flim and Flam were showing. We stood not far from the others, Twilight, her friends, Night, Luna, and somepony who reminded me of Discord.
“Hello! Everypony!” The two brothers started. I looked over and saw Lightning with his parents. “We are here to sell the one thing that might save your life!”
There was talk among us. Many wondering what they were talking about, but Twilight and them had looks of fright.
“Creatures of the horrid night. Out to drink and feed turning others into them!” The brothers turned and formed a spell causing boxes to appear. “Here..is our answer!”
“My night is not horrid.” I could hear Luna comment.
I could see that their fright has changed to anger.
“Right here,” Flim showed the thing Night was talking about. A small compass like watch. “This little baby can find vamponies in any group.”
Night, Luna, Lightning, and I all knew what this meant. Flim put it on and scanned the room.
“Nothing, good. Now to show it works.” He pulled out a glass of blood and pointed the watch at it. A flash could be seen. “Vampony blood.”
“Lies!” We all turned to the brown- grayish pony with a twister cutie mark, it sounded like Discord. “As a trickster, I should know when somepony is lying!”
“And who you might be?” Flam asked.
“Who else?” The pony changed into the god of chaos, Discord. “Discord, master of chaos.”
The look of Flim’s and Flam’s were so funny. “What..ok..then...anyways come get you vampony watch and stay safe!”
Discord face changed to one of shock, Applejack’s of pure anger and the others shook their heads. Most of the vamponies started to talk about how this will change their lives. Luna and NIght begin to speak, but were cut off by a watch going off.
“AHHH! Vampony! HERE!!!” I think my ears bled after hearing that pony scream, Night even covered his ears.
“GET HER!” Both brothers screamed as two stallions jumped the poor mare.
“Well, that was easy, say brother?”
“Right.”
Night looked to the poor mare, helpless. “No....let her go!” He yelled to the two stallions.
“Night, calm down!” luna screamed at him, but it was too late. Night teleported to the ponies and drew one of his swords.
“Let...the pony go!” He point at the two stallions as the mare freed herself and ran.
“NIGHT! put the swords down!” Discord yelled across the room. “You need to chill!”
Night looked back to Discord and Luna. “Yes Sir...sorry.” He left out the door.
“What...just...happened?” I asked looking back to Luna.
“I don’t know, but something has gotten in that colt.” She said walking out the door behind him.
Discord soon followed after talking about the Summer Sun Festival and Night.
“Why would Night have to be at the Summer Festival...well he is Luna’s son...so.“ I asked to myself as me and my parents walked out. When we got home I saw my window was opened. I walked up to my room and saw a note from Night.
Dear Shadow,
I saw you were hungry, so please do drink this blood and it is safe
Your friend,
Night Wolfe
I looked at the glass, it was blood, but it swirled with a black mixture. I popped the cap off and took a sip, my eyes widened at the taste. Something was off.
“Night is a unicorn, so why is blood...so...strong?” I whispered to myself.
When a vampony drinks the blood of a unicorn they can taste the magic on their blood, but if it’s a unicorn vampony like me then our magic gets a bit stronger. Night’s magic taste stronger...with something I couldn’t put my hoof on. After finishing the drink I went to bed, today was a long day.
