After our hug and a few tears shed, I eventually broke the hug reluctantly. I wiped the tears from my face and smiled, no doubt a fang poking out of my lip.
The rest of my friends released each other as well. We stood there for a good ten seconds before somepony finally had the courage to speak up.
"Now what in tarnation happened to ya? Ah know for a fact that ya weren't always uh vampony," Applejack said in a thick southern accent.
I sighed and closed my eyes. "I... Can we not do this in the middle of the street? Plus it's night time, and all of you guys aren't vamponies like me. So, maybe we should do this some other time? Like... say, when I finally get some food? I haven't eaten anything that actually does anything for me since I became a vampire."
Everypony immediately looked away from me with a visible shudder. I saw Rarity gull and Fluttershy's eyes widened whenever it dawned on everyone that I had to drink blood now.
"I..." Even Rainbow seemed to not be herself when she realized I could probably kill her right then and there. and we could make her our servant while we're at it...
Oh, yeah, we could, couldn't we? That would be nice wouldn't it? To just let my hypnotic eyes mind control Rainbow into being obedient...
NO! Twilight, get ahold of yourself! Sure, if you hypnotized her you could finally get some blood, but still!
Oh sweet Celestia, I can smell the blood of all of my friends. I sniffed the air and found the most appealing scent was in fact Pinkie's, who's blood smelt ironically like cotton candy.
Maybe if I just took a small sip of her blood...
"Uh... Twilight? What are you doing?" I could smell the fear in the air and in Pinkie's voice. I snapped out of whatever was making me think like that and realized I was hugging the earth pony, my hot breath against her neck.
I immediately retracted my hooves from Pinkie, causing her to fall to the ground with an audible smack. "I'm so, so sorry! I didn't know what came over me! I'm just so...so hungry..."
I drifted off as an amazing scent filled my nostrils. It was sweet, with an aroma of metallic that smelled amazing for some reason. I heard my friends say my name as I walked towards the source of the smell.
I followed the scent to a bush, where a white bunny sat. Blood spilled out of a scratch on his small body, and I could tell he wasn't going to last much longer.
I smiled a fangy smile and sat next to the bunny. I began licking the spilt blood and held the bunny down so he couldn't get away.
As soon as my tongue came in contact with the warm blood, a soothing taste filled my mouth. My eyes widened and I quickly lapped up the spilt blood.
When the only blood remaining was the blood still inside the bunny, I hissed and pounced on the fearful creature before me.
I heard an angelic voice call my name, and then a shriek from that same beautiful voice when she saw me. Other ponies were behind her and they too gaped in shock.
A pony with an orange coat yelled my name, to which I just hissed to. I lifted my head from the bunny and growled, hovering protectively over the bunny.
The yellow pegasus sobbed out a name, asummingly that was the bunny's name. I just growled in return.
"Don't come anywhere near my prey... Or I'll kill all of you!"
"Uh, Twilight? What gives! Get off of Angel! Do you not see Fluttershy crying over there?" Rainbow exclaimed.
I only hissed in return. I quickly went in to bite the bunny called Angel, but a pink blur tackled me off of the bunny.
We both collided with each other, and were sent flying several feet away from everyone else. When we finally stopped spinning, I saw who stopped me from killing my prey.
"Pinkie..."
"Twilight! Snap out of it! "
I only hissed in response and dove onto Pinkie. We switched positions almost immediately, with me now being on top. She grunted, and I went in for the kill.
...only to get tackled once again, this time by an orange blur. I shrieked and tried to get up, but Applejack was a lot stronger than Pinkie.
And with me only having not even a bunny's worth of blood, I was practically out of energy.
With a slap in the face from Rainbow Dash, I slipped into unconsciousness.
"Is she awake yet?"
"I'm not sure, Rainbow. Did you really have to slap her in the face? She's a Celestia damned vampire, for Celestia's sake!"
"That's just it! She's a vampire, Rarity! You aren't anymore scared than than the rest of us!"
" ... So you admit you're scared?"
"Me? Scared? The Awesome Rainbow Dash? Nah!... Stop laughing! Hey! Whatever, let's just wait for Princess Celestia to get here, she'll know what to do."
My eyes immediately shot open as I became conscious. They called Princess Celestia here? No, no, no, no! This is bad; really, really bad! If Celestia sees me she's sure to kill me with a stake! I have to get out of here!
I observed my surroundings quietly, as to not make a sound. I was in The Golden Oaks Library, qnd my friends were sitting on the couches, Pinkie and Rarity playing a card game while Rainbow comforted a sobbing Fluttershy.
I felt a pang of guilt fill my gut as I saw Fluttershy crying. There was nothing I could do about it, however. I mentally sighed and looked away.
App!ejack was nowhere in sight, presumably with up with Spike. Since I didn't see either of them, I guessed I was probably correct.
I now looked to where I was trapped. I was strapped down with duct tape to a chair, at least an entire roll used. It was over my mouth, preventing me from saying anything. My forehooves were tied behind my back with at least ten layers of tape, and my backhooves were stuck to the legs of the chair and were stuck together.
Att leastly fifty layers of tape were around my waist. It was a miracle that I was able to move at all.
Long story short, even with my new strength, I wasn't able to move. I could probably teleport out of the place, but when I reached out to my magic, I felt a jolt of pain in my horn.
I didn't need to look up to know what waa wrong. It seemed Spike had gotton the magic inhibitor out of my bags and put it on my horn.
They all betrayed us...
Yes, they did, didn't they? Some friends, huh?
Stop! Twilight, what's been wrong with you lately? Get ahold of youself! I mentally sighed and pushed my other thoughts to the back of my head for the time being.
It seemed my friends didn't notice I was awake. I used that to my advantage to figure out how to get free.
Now, I couldn't use my magic from my horn to break free, seeing as it was blocked off, and rare strength was off the table. What did I leave out?
Your new gifted powers, of course.
What? That didn't sound like me...
That's because I am not you. I am Princess Luna, Twilight. I've reached out and contacted you through your head.
... That's kinda creepy. But can you help me non the less?
There is a magic in vamponies that can't be subdued by regular magic inhibitors. Vamponies have a magic called Shadow Magic. To access it, deep into yourself and fill your body with that agic instead of unicorn magic.
I did as told and closed my eyes. I reached into my soul and my magic reserves, searching for what Luna said.
I suddenly felt it. As soon as I touched it, the Shadow Magic flooded my insides like a warm mist, filling and cleansing my body and making it stronger and better.
I felt the magic flood my eyes as I heard a noise from the outside world. There was a knock at the door, and somepony yelled Celestia. Rainbow went to answer the door and Rarity and Pinkie yelled my name as they saw me.
I opened my eyes that flooded with Shadow Magic, black flowing rashly from my eyes. My horn glowed, and just as Celestia came into the room quickly, I teleported away, leaving nothing but my magic particles and the duck tape and chair behind.
