//------------------------------// // Terror // Story: Terror of the Flutterbat // by Discord The Narrator //------------------------------// As fast as they could, Sunset and Twilight blocked the doors as a vampiric Rarity pounded on them while screaming. Sunset found it difficult as she was carrying her camera. "Girls? What was that!?" exclaimed Rainbow over the cameras. "It's Rarity! She is a vampire!" answered Sunset. "What!? So Fluttershy got her!?" exclaimed Applejack. "Speaking of Fluttershy..." said Twilight, pointing at something with a terrified look on her face. When Sunset followed her pointing finger, she felt the same and focused her camera. At the other end of the hallway, Fluttershy appeared, looking directly at them, as if trying to say something. "Twilight? I think we are gonna be her next meal if we just stand here..." said Sunset. "Hold on..." said Twilight, leaving Sunset with some seconds of confusion before Fluttershy screamed and started to run towards them. "A little more..." Fluttershy prepared to pounce on them. "Now! Move!" Twilight motioned Sunset to move away at the last second, causing Fluttershy to collapse with the music class' doors and fall on top of Rarity. Sunset blocked the doors again. "Run, Twilight! I'll find some place to hide!" Twilight nodded and got on her way, while Sunset ran inside another classroom while the vampires tore apart the blocked doors. They were even angrier... and hungry... _______________________________________ Inside the gym... "Two vampires now... Could this get even worse?" asked Rainbow. "And the doors getting broken... They have a lot of power now..." said Applejack. Pinkie, having got calm already, got up and walked to the gym's doors. "I need to see the halls once more..." She opened them and peeked out, and a lot of sounds came from everywhere. Besides, some broken doors could be seen. However, when Pinkie tried to peek out even more, she slipped, and the result was a loud thump on the floor. Applejack and Rainbow got out to help their pink friend get up. "Are ya ok, Pinkie? That was a bad fall!" said Applejack. Rainbow tried to say something, but a loud scream on the halls interrupted her. Our friends focused their cameras on the other end of the hallway and became almost pale, cause Rarity had escaped the blockage on the music classroom. And now she was right there, just watching. But then, another scream filled the air as Rarity ran towards them... _______________________________________ Meanwhile, Twilight had been able to get inside the library. She tried not to focus on the sounds heard in the halls, and blocked the library's doors with some chairs. "Ok, maybe there's something helpful on the books. There must be something, cause those doesn't look like normal vampires." said Twilight, and she started searching for information between books and books. When she had already seen some of them, she heard something hitting the doors. Uh oh, one of them was trying to enter! So she continued her task even faster, but she found the needed book in some seconds, so she opened it and started reading. The book explained a lot of things about legendary creatures, so the vampire's story obviously appeared in it. Reading, Twilight finally found something really interesting: apparently, there was another way to transform yourself into a vampire, and that way was a strange infection that some nocturnal animal could have. As Fluttershy loved animals, maybe she was with them one night, and one of them would have infected her. On the next page, she discovered another thing: some instructions for making a cure against the infection. "That's it! I just need to make this cure and use it on the vampires! And the Science Lab has everything I need!" said Twilight, grabbing the book. However, by the time she did that, a loud crash caught her attention: Fluttershy had broken the blockage and she was now in front of Twilight. "Fluttershy... Don't move, I'm warning you!" said Twilight. Fluttershy screamed and tried to attack Twilight, but our friend moved away and was able to hit her on the head with the book. The vampire fell unconscious on the floor. "Sorry, but I had to do it for my own safety." said Twilight, running to the Science Lab. _______________________________________ While all of that happened, Sunset was hiding inside a classroom. Her camera was still recording, so she could see what happened on others' cameras. She saw Twilight getting inside the library. "Heh, it's Twilight..." said Sunset, chuckling. But then, Applejack's camera caught her attention: she and Rainbow got out to help Pinkie because she fell, but then, hearing a scream, Sunset saw Rarity running to attack them. She knew they needed help, so she got up with a determined look on her face and got out of the classroom. When she arrived, with her camera focused, the gym's doors were open, Applejack and Rainbow were trying to get a screaming Rarity out, and Pinkie was sitting on one of the party tables, with a stern expression. Sunset left the camera on the floor so she could help her friends, and the three of them were able to get the vampire out of the gym and block the doors again. Then, Sunset retrieved her camera. "It seems that she is even stronger than me!" said Applejack. "Yeah, I guess the vampirism does those things!" said Rainbow. "Wait a second. How is Pinkie?" asked Sunset. "Well, she fell, and this floor is not like any garden with flowers and everythin'." said Applejack, chuckling. "Pinkie, do ya wanna tell Sunset how d-" she approached Pinkie, but her pink friend just said: "Go away... I'm bitten..."
