Vinyl Scratch (aka DJ Pon-3) got down from her sound mixer. She got the towel out of her satchel she kept by the sound mixer and wiped her hooves off. Just as she was putting it away, Octavia came up to her.
"hey Vinyl, so I've been wondering how you... well, how you've become such a night owl," Octavia said.
"Hmm, I never told you, did I?" Vinyl said. She got down from the podium-thing she was on (her sound mixer was on it), and took a deep breath.
It all started 400 years ago, and I was a filly. It was absolutely pouring, and I was out In town. I didn't know anyone, and nobody knew me... except for one. I can't remember his name, but he had a small dagger in his cloak. He was a unicorn. He swept the dagger out from his cloak, and crept around the corner. And, using the dagger he was now holding using just his magic, he flung it around the corner. At the time, I remember that cloaks and capes were in fashion at the time. He probably only hit me by the cloak I was wearing at that exact moment, but either way, I felt a sudden and sharp pain in my flank. When I looked down, the dagger had lodged itself into my cutie mark.
Blood was oozing from it already, and I fell on the ground in shock. At that moment, somepony who had been watching the pony who had attacked me in the shadows tackled him, went over to me and picked me up. He looked around to see if anypony was watching, and leaned down. I unconsciously felt something prick my neck. At first I thought he had kissed me, but then I realized that he had bitten me. Then he left me for dead.
Some ponies were gathered in the rain on a hill somewhere near my hometown, Ponyville. , I don't remember seeing Lyra Heartstrings, Sweetie Drops, or Octavia, so I bet they just had no idea about what was going on at the time. But when I opened my eyes, all I could see was a lot of dirt and darkness. So I ended up digging up and up, until finally I could feel rain pouring down on me again. I could barely remember what had happened earlier, just that my neck hurt. I rubbed where my neck hurt, and felt two thin holes the size of a couple of really sharp teeth. When I looked up, I saw somebody looming over me. There was a glare on his face.
"I knew you weren't dead. I saved your life, and you aren't even grateful," he hissed, aiming all of his anger directly at me. I looked at him, confused. How had he saved my life? Just then, I had a sudden urge to bite him back. But before I could get up, he ran off.
Octavia sighed, tired, and left the auditorium. Vinyl was about to go back to her sound mixer when she became particularly hungry, and left.
She was tired, but wide awake. She was thirsty... but not for water.
