Death is a preferable alternative to communism.

T

After being attacked by a strange being in the dead of night, a young unicorn mare named Page-Turner finds herself transformed into a loathsome, terrifying creature with an uncontrollable need to drink the blood of others through horrific means. Frightened by her sudden change in both body and nature, she flees from pony society but tries her hardest to remain a part of it in the process.

As her attempts to cope and adapt to her new lifestyle sour and wither with every passing day, she finds herself being hunted by those that wish to see her destroyed. With little choice to begin with, the only goal to dominate her mind soon becomes survival.

This looks great so far, and the air of mystery that you gave the two figures really makes me want to read more... However, it seems as though you are trying to make the reader unaware of what they are yet the description spoils that by saying that she has a hunger for blood, but other than that it looks great!

Vamponies, why...?
Why, you cursed vamponies?! What do you want from her?!:facehoof:

7368449 Ew. Good thing I lost my eyes ages ago.
7367955 Vamponies? Not exactly...

7368590 :rainbowderp: Oh, not that then... Okay, I'll find an exit.:twilightsheepish:
My second guess would be some sort of mutated changeling.

7368449 That...is highly disturbing.:pinkiesick:

7368613 To be frank, I've rooted around much deeper in Romanian folklore for other vampire-like creatures...

7368633 Okay, then I'm in the dark.:derpytongue2:

7368590 Um... its not that bad, your story cover is quite the same.

RB_

7368633 So, a moroi or a strigoi, perhaps?

Uki

I want more story! :raritystarry:

RB_

Called it!
I'm enjoying this so far. We don't get enough horror in this fandom.

Oh so that's what it's called...

And I love horror stories like these. We need to have more of these.:moustache:

*Reads story description*

Interesting, the "Involuntary monster" plot, rare to see in stories nowadays. For one who's been turned, did the noble choice to flee and suffer the cruel burn of hunger, but will still be forced to face death from uncaring hunters. I shall see where you'll take this story, will she indulge in her hunger and become what her killers always believe she was or become another notch on a hunter's blade.

We'll see.

Reminds me of the show The Strain a little bit. I love that show and I have a feeling im gonna love this story too. I want more!

very interesting read never heard of a strigoi before, but sounds like a sort of cross between a vampire and a succubus, plz continue

Always nice to see a vampire story where the vampires aren't just obnoxiously powerful and maintain even a semblance of genuinely monstrous characteristics. Though I suppose you're going with a romainian shrieker and some don't consider them as in the same category as the more "classic" bloodsuckers.

7381379 What I'm going for in my 'vampires' isn't the more classic and modern-day romanticized/misunderstood and super strong demigods/sparkly wusses. What I aim to make is a mixture of Guillermo del Toro's eldritch, repulsive, cursed take on vampire's appearance and methods of feeding (Blade II's 'Reapers', and The Strain's 'Strigoi'), and the mannerisms and weakness/strengths of European mythology's vampires, especially the legends and tales originating in Romania. (Strigoi, Moroi, Mullo).

7381510 I am positively exctatic to hear it. Though I kind of figured you were going that way since you called them strigoi ( comes from the romainian à striga, meaning to scream). I will be following this.

Just two chapters and I already fell in love with this story!
Keep the good work up. :pinkiehappy:

Oh god, I made a huge mistake.

7383044 I was eating when reading that.:pinkiesick:

While these strigoi are terrifying as heck, actual strigoi are troubled spirits of the dead rising from their graves, which may have magical abilities.

7383310 Or are witches with two souls/hearts. Or are poltergeists that gain physical form after eight-to-twelve years of troubling the living.

Poor, poor Page Turner. The rats win every war, what hope did she have all by herself?

Would it be incorrect to assume Page is now something akin to a tatzlpony? Or am I misunderstanding this? :applejackunsure:

Sticking out from where she had been struck, bearing a blackish-red color, was a long, thin, tongue-like appendage. Where it had emerged from was Page's open mouth, and her lower jaw, which had completely split open in a bright red, upside-down triangular display to allow such an object to pass through, was lined with jagged, hook-shaped fangs at its left and right edges, and webbed flesh was what appeared to be the only thing that held it together, starting at the base of her windpipe.

7384795 Something more along the lines of this. i.ytimg.com/vi/PnVpBrf4NJs/maxresdefault.jpg

7384815 Ho boy :applejackconfused:

That's intense lol :trixieshiftright:

Bravo in the beginning of a great story. The fear, the terror, the hunger that darling-Page feels leaps from the text. As for the name, I am left wondering if the artist knows of a particular European metal band who sings of strigoi and undead werewolves, particularly of Armenian lore?
