I was hiding in the one place I blend in, somepony’s rose bush. My dark green coat at night was the same color as the leaves around it, now if only my mane and tail weren’t dark grey I would have an easier time hiding. The rose bush I was in had a great view of the path towards the farm and plus, it hid my scent from any creatures that would be interested in finding me. Vinyl was somewhere nearby using some sort of illusion spell to hide her white coat under a very gray, similar to her roommate’s.
A howl, then the scrambling of wooden claws on hard-packed earth of the path leading from the farm. From where I lay hidden I could see the timberwolves coming and the vampony behind the pack of monsters. From two houses down, I hear a pony open the door of their house and call out, “Stop that racket, I need my sleep!” I see that the wooden dogs had heard and seen where it came from it was only a matter of distance
Before I can untangle myself from the bush to stop the pony from getting killed. The wolves make a beeline straight for the sleep-deprived mare. I can hear them tear into her and I can hear her blood splatter on the doorway she had been in.”Foolish mare, thinking she could command my pets.” That voice, it was the same voice that had told the bear that I was free to have, before it almost killed me.”I know you are there, I can smell your fear. Do you recognize my voice? I will not hurt you.”
“I am right here, why are you doing this? You know it will only make ponies fear us more than they already do.” Replied a very agitated unicorn. Vinyl’s voice had just come from somewhere above and behind me.
“I think you misunderstand my intentions dearie, I simply do what I am paid to do.” She said in a very dismissive way.
“Really! You do what what you are paid to do huh? Were you paid to h-have that mare killed?” I can tell by that stutter, she is losing control. Either she loses it and we all die, or somepony regains control of herself.
“I was paid to have one of the residents killed, I was not told which one it had to be.”
“Grr. You know what I mean, you have always been so selfish Rare.” Good, she regained her control. I don’t like seeing her when she is angry.
“I have not been selfish Bass. You are just too weak minded to understand why I must do this.” She paused and said in a different direction,”Darlings, ready for round two?” She got a very happy round of barks in return.”Alright, Kill her this time.”
“Why is it so loud out here, I am just trying to sleep.” Came a very tired sounding female voice from a nearby door that was now open. I was out of my bush in an instant. I made my way to the mare as fast my hooves could handle. I was too late, the wolves beat me to her.
She could survive this! I thought to myself, she could survive. As I knocked timberwolf after timberwolf away. Lying in a bloody mess was a pegasus mare with wounds too grievous to survive long enough to make it to Ponyville’s hospital, I looked to see Vinyl. The other vampony had left with her wolves, Vinyl said nothing, and just nodded with a concerned look on her face. So, I asked the question for consent. “There is no way you will be able to survive, your wounds can’t be fixed by normal medical methods but, I can save you in an,”I paused, could I go through with this?”Unconventional way. Before you say yes, know that by agreeing to this method it will change your life, for better or for worse.”
“Y-yes, I want to live.” Came a very weak reply. I bared my fangs and drove them into the remnants of her throat and enjoyed the taste of the mare’s blood in my mouth. I hope you don’t hate me come morning, was all I could think.
Being on the opposite end of the waking up as a vampony the next morning is a riot, but teaching a full-grown five-year-old of a mare about vamponies is a different story. Vinyl was there just watching, laughing, and giving pointers on what to say and how to handle the mare. I really should have just let her die...
