//------------------------------// // Thirsty // Story: Heat and Thirst // by WinterStormed //------------------------------// Auriel was near the staircase. He managed to prop his back against the wall. She pushed him down the stairs. He flinched as he heard her coming. Auriel could not defeat her. A mortal cannot kill an immortal, especially one on one who so happend to be Princess Celestia. No pony can defeat an Alicorn. "You bleeding my little pony." She said as she carresed his cheek. She looked different. Her mane was no longer a multude of colors but was flaming red. Her fangs were sharp and her pupils were predatory. He tried to move away from her only for her to press her body against his. Auriel squirmed as her regalia dug into his chest. "Princess, stop. You don't need to do this. We'll find a cure." Auriel was hoping he could reason with her. She was Princess Celestia. She would anything for her ponies. Celestia smiled as her eyes bored into his. "It's seems you are misunderstanding something my liitle pony. You not here to subdue me or 'save' me. I just wanted my meal to have an extra kick, some excitement, hence the letter." Auriel felt his blood run cold. "Was this all a lie ? How can you be a vampire ?" "I am an Alicorn. I embody all my ponies. Earth, pegasus, unicorn ......and vampire." Auriel felt something break inside of him. His family. They sold him off as a sacrifice. They never wanted him back. They saw him as a perfect solution. That's all. The former hunter stopped fighting as he became slack. He wanted die. The feelings and emotions were too much. Princess Celestia made a noise of disappointment. "I expected more struggle than that but it was enjoyable. Short but enjoyable." The princess wrapped her hooves around him as she bit into his neck slurping rapidy, not wasting a single drop. After a few seconds Auriel began to thrash in her grip. Celestia stopped, her muzzle bloody. "I see you still have some fight left in you." She gazed at his trembling body. It seemed her regalia had left some wounds on his chest. Twisting slowly, she placed him against the floor. "Kill me already..." He coughed up blood. Celestia shook her head. "No, I'm not a murderer. I wipe my meals memories after I am done with them. Making none the wiser-" Auriel began to cough more blood. "- but I'll make an exception. Just for you Vampire Hunter." Celestia pushed her lips to his, sucking the blood from his mouth, her tongue pushing against his palate. Auriel began to struggle. He could not breath, she was preventing him form breathing. He thrashed even harder, but her grip became even tighter and tighter until..... All he saw was darkness. Celstia wiped the blood from her muzzle as she looked down at the unconcious Pegasus. She was back to her normal form. Her rainbow colored mane sparkling in the moonlight. "Dark Spring. Ensure Auriel Aurora light is brought to the palace." Dark Spring bowed his head. "Yes Princess." It was a little shaky. He was the only one who knew this dark little secret. The guards simply thought this was some sort of secret meeting. He remembered when the royals came into the wood two weeks ago revealing their fourth attribute. Everypony took it hard, some even tried to attack the Princeses but were subdued by the others. They then wiped all their memories of vampires and vampire hunters so they could live an ordinary life, except him. They needed him for some plan. Dark Spring looked at the broken form of his former rival. "I'm so sorry Auriel." Celestia stepped outside the house, no doubt Dark Spring would wait until everypony left. She would wipe his memories after he's done. She felt a surge of excitement as she entered her carriage. How she can't wait to tell Luna and Twilight about their new plaything.
