Vamponies

A new home and foe

Nightmare looked at Night who seemed to smile wide.

“He’s...okay. I guess.” Night said as he look to the door. “Knew it. Can’t keep your horn out of anything can you.”

I looked back and tried to scream, but nothing came out. He pulled me in with his magic as I tried to run. The door was shut and locked.

“Who is he?” Nightmare looked at me and locked eyes.

“A friend...or I would hope so. Shadow, explain why you were looking in.” Night didn’t even look at me.

“I..I...I was wondering what you were doing. Got to remember I’m just 15!” I tried to break free, but to no use.

“So...Shadow, is it? That’s a nice name...hehehe.” Nightmare giggled as I looked away. “Aww...what’s wrong? Do I bring fear to you?”

“You’re fake...just magic is all.”

She laughed as my mind went blank. I awoke as I stood up Discord pointed to me.

“He’s awake.”

My head pounded as anything before looking in the room everything was gone. “Ow.”

The thought of Nightmare being around us scared me to the point I think my heart started to bet. I noticed that we...were...at my house in a flash.

“Get your stuff.” Discord said pointing to my door.

“W-why...” I asked looking up at my house as my parents came to the door. The had red all across their faces.

“Get that monster off our- Discord?!” They both started.

I felt my heart drop...they...hate...me. I’m no longer their son...I’m a monster to them. My own parents hate me. I walked in as two guards watched. I went up to my room as I looked around. Mostly everything was packed. I was looking through things when I found a old dusty book.

“Everything okay ,Sir?” The guard asked walking in.

I nodded and put the book in a box and closed it. I walked out as my parents slammed the door behind me and the guard. I tear rolled down my face as Discord looked at the guard. “Time to go.”


I walked up to the castle and looked it up and down. Two ponies stood outside and spawns spears.

“Name!” One of them screamed.

“S-shadow Light...I have come to live here for a small time.” I trembled in fear.

Twilight walked out and smiled at me. “At easy guards...he’s cool.”

I looked up as the guards smiled as they apologized. I walked up the stairs and meet Twilight at the door. She showed me inside as she pointed to the stairs. “Your room is upstairs...can’t miss it.”
I nodded and walked up the stairs. I kept looking down and back. The thought of my parents still floated around in my head as I reached the door. I opened and walked in, it wasn’t very big, I was happy with it. I started to put my stuff away into the closet and looked out the window.

I saw Luna and Celestia walking to the steps. I tilted my head, wondering what they are doing here. I sat on my bed and just relaxed back, trying to forget about my parents. After a few minutes I heard hoofsteps coming towards my room.

“Shadow?” The voice was calm and sweet. “May I come in, it’s me, Luna.”

I opened the door with my magic. “yes, Princess?”

“Sorry what happened earlier at the house. Night needed to speak to...well...my other half.” She looked down with a frown.

“I...ummm...well...” I was at a lost as I heard Twilight call up.

“DINNER!!!”

“Can we talk about this later?” She asked.

I nodded as I got off the bed and walked to the stairs. Slowly walking down I could see Night slip into a different room. I paid it no real mind and walked to the dining hall. I walked in and took a seat.

“Welcome young, Shadow.” Celestia said with a smile.

I said nothing, but looked around. She tilted her head as hay burgers came out and served to us. I slowly took a bite and smiled. Everything was... Silent as I ate.

“So, Shadow, ready to go to school... again?” Celestia spoke up.

“S-school? I...well, sure,” I was thinking about what will ponies think when I go back. “But what about..well my fangs and what happened.”

“I’ll handle that, Shadow. You just need to study and work hard.” Celestia said with a smile.

I looked over to Lightning who smiled. “I’ll be there to.”

I finished dinner happy and smiling. I walked up to my room and took a seat on my bed. The thought of having some friends still with me, made my dead heart warm. I laid on the bed and starts to drift asleep. I awoke not to long later, somewhere in my head it felt like, somepony or thing was watching me.

I got out of the bed and walked to the window of my room. Pushing the blinds aside I opened the window up and looked out. I looked to both sides as Luna’s moon gave me a little light. “Who’s there?”

A few minutes passed as I closed the window to turn and see a shadow fly across the wall. I backed up, bumping into the window.

“Sins of the parents pass to the kids...” A voice said as the shadow formed into a mist. “A small colt with no family now...reminds me of myself.”

I tried to scream, but nothing came out. “N-night?”

“That fool? No, I’m about ten times ‘better’” The mist said.

“Please...don’t hurt me....I...I won’t tell anypony.”

The mist got closer and stopped. It seemed to look back at the door. I could feel a very dark magic coming off of it.
