//------------------------------// // Blood Lust. // Story: The vampony of Manehatten High // by Fanged Rainbow //------------------------------// I was overcome with sorrow the moment I saw my mothers corpse, tear rolling down my cheeks. "Why?" I asked myself, sorrow and rage bubbling under my skin. "Why?" I asked again, anger in my voice. "Why!" I roared one last time in blood lust. Ruby had to die! I kept crying over my mothers dead body until nightfall. "I will take her life..." I murmured to myself. I was furious, and I intended to get revenge. I went to my room and smashed the window open, ignoring the resulting glass wedged in my hoof. I was then stepped out into the chilling night winds, ignoring the cold too. My destination was Ruby's home, but I didn't know where that was. "Time for a robbery," I told myself heading towards the school. The files inside would tell me where to go. The school doors were, as expected, locked. I smashed the doors down with a powerful kick, causing the doors to splinter as they fell to the ground. I looked at my surroundings and decided where to go, the head's office, it would contain the files. Right? I smashed her office's window and stepped in, looking for where the files would be kept, her computer would be a logical place to store them. I was right. As I loaded her computer I looked around the small room. It was dark, and slightly cold, with large windows, one of which I had broken , to the right. The computer loaded up, and I turned my attention to it, using dark magic to operate it and get what I wanted. What I wanted, I got to. Ruby's full name, age and housing address. "Perfect." It took one minute at most to reach Ruby's thanks to my supernatural speed... I knocked on her window from above, waiting until she opened it. When she finally did I flew in and hid in a dark corner, she was completely oblivious. I went inside her head. "You shouldn't have done what you did today." I stated, inside her own head. "Wha- Who are you? Where are you?" she replied. "Oh, just the daughter of the pony your murdered today, fiend," I hissed. "Starlight!" she yelled grabbing her stake. "Drop it," I commanded, forcing her to do so. "How did you?" "Magic." She began panicking, I could smell it. I crept from my hiding spot, getting closer, yet remaining unseen... Mostly. She spotted my tail, grabbing it, and holding me in the air with her own magic. "Drat," I muttered, hanging in the air. She attempted to get her weapon, but got to close, so I kicked her in the head, knocking her out cold. "Aww, no how can I enjoy her suffering?" I asked myself. I sat and waited for an hour or so before she woke up again. "Ah ha, your awake!" I cheered. "Wha-" She rubbed her head, and I quickly bit into her. "Ahh!" she screamed in response. Her blood oozed onto my tongue, and I adored the taste. I looked up to her, tightening my grip, watching her try break free. She couldn't, simple as. by the look of her she was about to faint from blood loss, so I stopped drinking her precious blood. She still fainted... "Damn it, filly!" I roared in anger, the moonlight filling my eyes as I turned to the window. She wasn't the fun I hoped for, but she satisfied my lust for blood. I turned and looked at her clock, it was getting... early? Whatever... It was nearly sunrise, and I needed to be at school tomorrow. So I flew out her window and headed home, leaving Ruby's parents deal with their daughters 'punishment'. The flight home was peaceful, my mind at rest... More or less. It was fairly cool, and quaint, the smell of lavender in the air. I hate lavenders. I saw my house up ahead and snuck into my room through the window, pretending to be oblivious the to murder downstairs... The next morning was glum, I saw my mothers corpse and cried some more, before putting on my acting face, and calling the police. "Hello, this is the EPD, how can I help you?" the pony on the other end of the line asked. "Help, I've just found my mother's been murdered!" I said, trying to sound panicked and sad, although the sadness came naturally. "We'll be on our way," the voice replied, it was feminine, that's all I could make out. I sat next to my mother, waiting. Waiting for the police to arrive. When they did I opened the door, tears rolling down my face, they could clearly see my mothers dead body in the background. "C-can I help you?" I asked between sobs, trying to put off the rage for Ruby that had resurfaced. "Let us in," the police pony replied, I obliged and let them get on with their work. However not too long later one called me over. "Miss Eclipse, please make we have your hoof print?" "Of course," I replied, it would have been suspicious to say no... probably. The officer looked at the sample intuitively, then at the data he had on record. "Well, the hoof print on her face is completely different from yours, don't worry we will find the culprit..." I looked at him, the uncertainty in his voice worried me slightly, however not much, after all I knew who had commit the crime, and had vengeance. I decided to take advantage of the situation. "I'm... going to get out of your way," I said as I trotted upstairs to watch the news. What came up caught my eye, 'school robbery, data stolen', it looked like my antics the previous night had been noticed. "The Manehatten High school has been broken into, evidence suggests no money or possessions were taken, however several files have been accessed, including the student listings. We advise all parents of students attending the high school to keep their children at home. In other news, Ruby Rose, the alleged 'vampony hunter' has been found by her parents near death. She has been taken to hospital where she is receiving medical treatment." "Oops," I muttered...
