//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: Octavia Reborn (Times edited: 1) // Story: Vinyl scratch: Harbinger of the night. // by HiddenXtiger //------------------------------// Octavia grew tired as the sounds of Vinyls snores rang about the house, unaware it was 6 in the evening. Octavia blurted in a furious voice, "Vinyl, for the love of equestria wake up!" "Wha... What!?? Where am I, what?" Vinyl said leaping from her bed-sheets, in a frenzy of confusion. It was a beautiful night in manehattan, the night stars shining like a piece of magnificient artwork, and all around ponies gathered on the balcony's of the surrounding flats, ponies staring up at the stars with the utmost fascination "Vinyl, I told you we were going for our anniversary dinner today, how could you forget!?" octavia shoved her off the bed coldly. "Hey, what was that for!?" She exclaimed, looking into octavias eyes and seeing a face that told her she was forgetting something. "Oh.... right."" -------Later that night-------- "One chef's special please!" I said, pointing at the menu with a smile, while Vinyl was staring out at the beautiful night sky, daydreaming about various things, Octavia eyeing her, trying to figure out what she was thinking. "Vinyl, Vinyl!" Octavia nudged her to snap her out of her trance like thinking state. The waiter was standing at the table, asking us if we wanted a drink. Vinyl snapped out of it and quickly said, "I would like, uh... some red wine." Octavia was surprised that she would choose something... so sophisticated. "Look at you, I never thought you had that kind of taste!" as they waited for their food, vinyl whispered sweet nothing's in to Octavia's ear, making her blush hardly. Octavia blushed even harder as vinyl finished her sentence, retracting her head slowly, and seductively, to sit back on her chair, keeping on a innocent smile. Vinyl blew her a kiss and winked at her, Octavia giggled and covered her blushing face in embarrassment. "Oh vinyl..." I teased, making her giggle. "Here is your food, ladies..." "Thank you!" we both replied with a smile on our faces. The waiter left, walking to the next table trying to act posh. "Vinyl, I want to ask you something." Vinyl replied with a smile, "What is it Octy?" One thing you should know about vinyl: All the time I have been with her, she has never, ever gone out in daylight. She mostly works around dark, and whenever I ask her why she refuses to come out, she makes up some sort of excuse. I pondered whether to ask her about why she never wants to go out, but let go of that thought as I knew she would not tell the truth. I tried not to think about the fact, and replied with a calm tone. "Oh, nothing!" I responded, trying to look as calm as possible as to not catch her interest. We finished our meal, and called the waiter for the bill. We paid for the bill, getting up and leaving. As we got out the door, vinyl turned her head to me and smiled, Revealing for a second, what I thought to be... Fangs? Vinyl spoke, a excited tone being put on as we walked through the streets, "This night was great! It was so nice to hang, and chat, and..." I leaned in to kiss her, shock present on her face as I did, but she pulled through, relaxing as my lips touched hers, a blush appearing on our cheeks. As I pulled away, I started caressing Vinyls mane. "Oh Vinyl..." I said lovingly, staring at her with passion. She returned the stare with utmost desire, putting her hoof up as to caress my mane in turn. "Oh, the night is so nice..." Vinyl said, looking up at the stars, a glint of light hitting her eyes. "I know, its almost as this evening was set up for us..." I said with a grin, Noticing a alley near where we were standing. Vinyl noticed this too, and pulled me towards the alley. Vinyl pulled me towards the alley, pulled me towards the wall and said, "I want you so much, octy" As she quickly kissed her lips, She started caressing Octavia's hair gently, staring into her eyes as they made out. They both had the uncontrollable urge to "Have some fun". (Anyways, lets fast forward to when they get to their flat.) "Phew, that was one heck of a night!" Vinyl huffed. "Are you kidding me, it was amazing!" I scoffed at her. I took off my tie and laid down on my bed. Vinyl tucked herself in beside me, and whispered into my ear with a caring tone "Goodnight....." As I lied down, I quickly fell asleep, probably due to us being up late. I suddenly noticed myself dreaming, but this was weirder than normal. I was in pitch black, no light present as to show where i was or what was happening. I heard a voice eminate through the darkness, the voice sounding somewhat familiar, putting me at ease. "Hello, octavia...." I suddenly noticed that I was tied up, a rope binding surrounding me. "It wont be long now, Octavia..." "Who, who are you!? where am I! I felt a sharp canine of some sort brush against my neck "Oh, Octavia, you smell so good... let me have a taste..." The voice was hypnotic, soothing, even though I felt terrified down to my very being. I could hear my heart beat as the canines, or whatever they were, pressed down tighter on my skin, piercing through as blood started to leak from the wound. I felt a wet like sensation as a tongue suddenly licked the wound, briefly pulling away then back again to gather more blood that was now trickling down my fur. I felt the canines pull away, leaving the blood to leak from my wound. "Good, now this will hurt a bit, but it will subside, trust me." I felt the canines press down again, entering the punctures in my neck again, but this time it was diffrent. I felt a burning pain as some kind of liquid leaked from the canines, or whate ever they were, seeping into the wounds then into my blood. I screamed as the burning pain rushed through every part of my body, but it soon subsided as whatever it was pulled away again. "Welcome to the night Octavia, for now we share the same blood..." "Wha.... Wha!? I was fearful as the soothing sounded voice spoke again. "Wake up....!" I woke up to Vinyl releasing fangs from my neck, looking at me as she did so, A smile coming across her face. I saw the same fangs that I saw when we left the restaurant, blood trickling down from them as she continued to smile. I gasped as i saw he horror that was my marefriend. "Vinyl what happened to..." She shushed me with her hoof and said in a soft tone, "Octy, thank you for accepting... my... gift....." She slumped down on top of me, sleeping soundly. As she did, I felt a wave of tiredness fall upon me also, As I again drifted away into a deep sleep... ---End of part 1---
