// 43 A new revelation 
// Story: Blood Curse Boutique 
// by Rarity Belle 
//------------------------------//

	Many more months would come and gone by. For time wouldn't stand still for anypony in the always so quiet and rustic town of Ponyville. Most of its residents continued on what they did as always. Twilight kept studying and experimenting, Rainbow Dash kept her training-schedule tight for the Wonderbolts, Pinkie was always baking in the bakery and Applejack took care of her family’s farm. All the very normal goings for their very lives. More they just couldn’t ask for. More they didn’t wanted.

Fluttershy had been able to set her doubts aside and was confident that Rarity wasn't a vampony. Which resulted in the fact that she lived a rather happy life in her cottage. The shy pegasus awaited the visits that came into the place for the spa treatments every Sunday afternoon. Both Rarity and herself came to the conclusion that it would be better in that way and every Sunday evening they could be found in either the cottage or the boutique. The evening was more preferred by Rarity and it gave Fluttershy an excuse to wear her body covering nightie -or other piece of clothing- and thus hide the terrible scars that could be found on her body. The two would tell their stories under the consumption of something to drink.

The always so cute and lovely sister of the vampiric unicorn came over fairly much every weekend and with the three of them - but for most of the time just the two sisters - there was much fun to be had. Even though Rarity had to cover herself up in her cloaks, dresses and parasols to walk in the sunlight. Yet over the months that passed them, everypony got used to the rather unique manners on which how Rarity lived. Especially Sweetie Belle herself.

Ponies were already happy at the very fact that they could see the unicorn again after such a long time of absences. The young cutie mark crusader even went so far to call the only co-worker of the Carousel Boutique, ‘auntie Fleur’. It at first it was obviously a joke, one that started on a day when Sweetie called her in that way by pure accident. Yet it never left and none seem to mind the calling of the name.

As for Rarity and Fleur, theyh had their lives been going good for one and terrible for the other. The life of the vampiric unicorn went superb for she managed to keep lying herself around everything while still coming over as believable. For the larger unicorn however, things went downhill faster the more she stayed under the glammering of her mistress.

Rarity had managed to get full control over her mind through it over the passage of more time. She had been locking away all the memories of Fancy Pants and made Fleur truly ‘hers’ over the course of the several months. She would have continued to feed off of her with every sunset. But only after some very close and seducing foreplay. Many were known with the unicorn her return but didn't question the way she lived by then. The tailor still didn't want to be disturbed during the waking hours and came up with the lie that she would spend day in day out in the inspiration room, creating the most fabulous of dresses from her mind to the paper.

Yet she crawled out of her hiding during the night when everypony was deeply asleep. It would be from the late afternoon until the early evening that would be the best time to speak to her in person if one so desired and none seemed to be truly minding it. Even the mayor of the little town came by one day to congratulate the two of them for their deeds. A thing which neither of the two could possibly expect to happen.

With the fact that the boutique was open once again, her entire schedule had also changed quite the bit. Her hunts during the night for fresh blood had become less. Just because of the fact that Fleur had entered her immortal life. On top of that didn’t she had the time anymore. As much as it was true she had trained her slave to be a genuine seamstress, there still were mistakes made by her. Mistakes that were unacceptable by a mare of her standard when it came down to delivering the works. And adding the fact she was working herself for most of the night. The ivory coated unicorn worked on the most complex of designs destined for ponies all over the land.

On one night, a night that would start the countdown to the last week before it would have been one full year in the past that Rarity was turned into a vampony, both of the mares found themselves in the bed as vampiric mare stood above Fleur with a grin on her face. A grin which revealed her fangs lightly. The purple skinned wings were uncurled and spread over to the sides of her body before she spoke in a seducing yet sinister undertone. “So we meet again, dreadful hunter. Not much of a hunter now, are you?”

The lips of Fleur curled themselves up in order to reveal a grinning smile. “You just wait until I come out of this hold, you unholy creature!” Fleur said while she played along. The words were spoken in a tough sounding voice and tried to break free out of the hold of Rarity.

The vampiric mare only chuckled even louder in a deep and sinister manner before she shook her head from side to side. “I am afraid I have to tell you, your days as a hunter are over. The time has come for you mortal, time to meet what truly lays beyond the realm of the living,” replied Rarity in a triumphal manner. After that she moved her head in closer. When she was close enough to the face of her slave, she released a soft and seducing roar of pure vampiric and primal power.

Though as Rarity released the sound, she moved her head back up once again. In the few moments that her face was aimed towards Fleur, the cold and forced breathing was felt all over the pinkish maned mare her face. The violet rimmed mare shivered a little bit at the coolness of the breath before she blinked a couple times. “I am afraid I have to disappoint you there, filthy creature,” she replied in her part. She started to yank on her hooves as hard as she possibly could and could feel the grip of Rarity sliding away.

The vampony on the other end just rose an eyebrow to the insult as her grin got even bigger before it turned into the smile of a mad mare. “So now we are throwing pretty insults to each other?” Then it was Fleur who gave an even bigger grin in return. One which slowly turned into a smirk before she gave a simple nod.

What was unknown to Rarity was the fact that the hind legs of Fleur secretly had escaped the hold of her. A little thing that came due to all the commotion caused by the forelegs and the desires that raced through her mind had Rarity simply forgotten about them. In one swift motion they wrapped themselves around the waist of the dominant unicorn and guided her delightful body over to the majestic one she was gifted with.

The vampony simply went with this for as much as she liked and lowered herself on her forelegs as well, letting her cold body rest on that of Fleur as she nuzzled the neck of her slave with a cold nose. And to create the icing on the cake, every so often the mare would give a lick within it to tease Fleur even more. All while her eyes were looking for a suitable vein and a spot she hadn't bitten in before. Her tone had changed into a seducing one while it kept its sinister undertone. “You won’t survive this darling, quit struggling and embrace it. For I will hurt you even more than I am planning otherwise. It would be a shame if I destroyed more, than nessecary.”

“You can not hurt me monster, but give it a try if you like.” Fleur returned in a seducing manner before she left a gentle chuckle. The chuckle itself was soon followed up by a moan that was created due to the cold body that laid on top of her. Fleur tightened her hindlegs around the waist of Rarity and she flicked her tail around. It was something that resulted in the merging of the two tails all together. The hairs of both tails were turned and twisted together to form one, giant mess of hair. It was of course something that Rarity felt, but she didn't mind it at all. The mare had sunk too deep in their plays to really comment or notice.

“And try, I shall,” replied the vampony in a soft tone. She gave one long lick over the neck of her slave. A lick that transferred itself over to the throat and eventually up the chin before it would pass over the lips.

Fleur gasped a little bit for air while she tightened her legs even more around the undead body of Rarity while her forelegs stopped their struggling. “D-Do it,” she softly spoke up. The vampiric mare give a quick kiss upon the lips of her slave before she moved back down to the neck. And then it were the veins that revealed themselves within it. The blood was pulsing through them like never before as the heart was beating faster than ever. Fleur was more than ready for what came next to her. “Consume me,” she added in a sensual tone of her voice.

The fangs revealed themselves in their full glory before Rarity released a hiss of true and dark pleasure. A shock of pain then went through the body of the larger mare while they had made their way into her flesh and she was being drained from her blood once more. The red liquids of life tried their best to still Rarity’s everlasting thirst for blood from the living. While more and more blood left her body, Fleur managed to untie their tails. That was a weak success and she tried to move hers up to the lower lips of her mistress for a pleasurable sweeping session during the events. She still had enough strength in her to do so and she rubbed the lower lips in a gentle manner with her tail. Fleur could only hope that she would get the desired effect of her mistress.

Rarity moaned and swallowed the liquids given to her for a couple minutes before she rose her head from the wound. She let the blood ran down her face and onto the bed sheets as she found herself panting lightly. “S-Sleep,” said Rarity in a near quiet tone. And on command, Fleur fell into her slumber as the hold only got weaker. All four of her legs managed to let themselves loose from the vampiric unicorn whereas the tail fell down on the bed. The larger mare had drifted off into a world where nopony could have hurt her.

Rarity let go a deep sigh for she almost stood at the point of letting her juices from her body flow into the outside world. Something she wasn't looking forward to do to begin with. Being the lady she was, she never had the desires to truly do it. The unicorn still had her wings spread out and tried to calm her body down from the heat that had entered.

With the passage of some seconds was Rarity back to her more normal state of mind. Her eyes looked over to the body of Fleur and she give one last kiss upon the nose before she would leave the body. The vampiric unicorn walked up to the middle of the bedroom with the wings spread out as they were. With a deep hesitation from her mind were her eyes turned over to each of her two wings. She gave a couple of gentle flaps with them to make sure how they felt. The air they moved was already enough to make her feel lighter on the ground. The eyes of the mare turned themselves back over to the desk in front of her. All of her doubts were gone as what would come next, would either be a success of a failure. With one powerful jump in the air could Rarity be found hovering in complete silence. She was almost flying within the walls of the bedroom and propelled herself through the room as a whole. Even though it was a marvelous presentation was all that her mind  could thinking about were the many things as they happened in her time and probably would keep happening.

Rarity had spent a good ten minutes in the air before the brittle connection of her bones played up once again. A pain that stood equal to being burned into the sun was more than enough to force her to land again. When her hooves touched the ground again, the wings were curled up around her body. The nightgown was created and she just left the bedroom as a whole. In all the months she had been a vampony, the bones that connected the wings had never grown any stronger for her. Meaning she was unable to maintain long flights. It just wasn't her anatomy and it never would be unless something ridiculous would happen to her like a surgery.

The unicorn made her way down the stairs and into the living room where she dropped her body on the sofa. Her horn charged up and its signature blue aura covered itself around a magazine which got levitated towards her while the candles on the chandelier were ignited. Once the magazine was close enough, she opened it and just began to read through it. But while reading through the papers, new questions arose in her mind. Questions which sent her once again in a doubtful state.

“Is it really that bad? All that intercourse I have with her? But then again, it does turn me into a sexual predator as well,” spoke Rarity to herself before a deep ‘hmph’ left her. Her eyes continued to glare over the many pages of the magazine while the thoughts raced. “Like you haven’t toyed with those who became your prey before Rarity. Point taken on that part though, but that was only foreplay, Fleur wants me, if not us, to cum every single time...”

The page got turned over under a deep exhale that left through her nostrils. She shook her head a little bit at another thought that came to her. “What would be the best thing to do, become a so-called ‘maker’ and turning her into a vampony, or simply kill her..?” Without a second thought in her mind did Rarity just slap herself right in the face for even considering such a horrible act. Blood had been flowing freely for almost a year by then. And it was true that nopony else had died with the exception of one. Yet that very one was already enough for her. It was a delicate matter she found herself in, one that could give away just what she was to everything and everypony. Especially the remaining royal of the land, princess Celestia herself.

The clock in the living room all of the sudden chimed its sounds. It hoped to break up the  eerie silence that had fallen within the room after the slap. After having chimed once, Rarity turned her attention up to see what the time was as she spoke once again to herself. “Nine in the evening... So much to do, yet there is just so little time.” Her eyes turned themselves back over to the magazine as she kept looking and reading through it.

While she found herself deep inside of her reading and pondering of her mind once again there was a sudden knock on the front door of the boutique. A knock she knew all too well and Rarity didn't need to figure out just who it was. As a second passed by in silence, the knock took its turn again but then a bit more serious. “Undoubtedly that it is her,” she spoke before she laid the magazine back on the table. She could have pretended that she wasn’t home of course. She just as easily could have allowed the knocker to go away.

Though being the proper lady she was, Rarity found it almost required that she would open the door to the knocker under any circumstances. Thus she stood up from her comfortable sofa and made her way over to the front door which she opened with her magic. As she came walking into the main hallway it was revealed that Twilight had been knocking and could be seen standing in the opening with a big smile on her face. The vampiric mare gently tilted her head at the sight before she spoke her words. “Come on in, Twilight.” She was a bit surprised just by the sheer sight of Twilight actually looking her up for whatever reason. All that she could see, was that the mulberry unicorn was happy about something.

“Thanks Rarity, there is something I need to tell you. Something I have discovered and I just need to tell it!” the mulberry mare spoke as she entered the boutique with the greatest of glee. She even did a little hop as she passed the mare of the house.

Rarity just stared in utter confusion at what happened before her eyes and spoke up while she closed the door. “You certainly have sparked my interest and attention here for sure.” Twilight had made herself comfortable on the sofa while Rarity took place in a chair. She charged up her horn in order to levitate something in. With her magic she opened the small wine cabinet that stood in the room and two glasses were being levitated over to the table.

“Something to drink would indeed be nice, Rarity, thanks. Always thinking ahead in that kind of matters,” said Twilight upon seeing what her friend was going to do. She let her eyes to fall upon the signature ‘nightgown’ and she couldn't help it but to begin to release a gentle chuckle to herself. “You never wear anything else aside from that now don’t you?”

Rarity allowed a chuckle to escape as well as the bottle was carried over. She then continued by pouring the red liquid into the glasses. “I am always thinking ahead on most matters really. I am afraid I don’t, my dear. This just feels so comfortable while wearing it. But do tell me please, what did you discover that made you run over here, of all places in town?” One of the glasses was then levitated over to Twilight who took it over with her own magic and gave her a thankful nod. The mulberry unicorn took a small sip from the liquids to lubricate her throat a little bit for the upcoming story and news were quite the something.

As Twilight lowered the glass again to get her mouth free to speak, she first gave off a smile to the drinking Rarity. “As you may know, Equestria houses some of the most unbelievable creatures, like that sea serpent in the rivers of Everfree, the hydra’s, manticores and timberwolves. But recently, I have found traces of something we didn't know it would exist,” she spoke up as the starter of the story.

Rarity had trouble with not acting suspicious before she set her glass back on the table. Out of the sheer curiosity for what her friend had to tell, she leaned a bit more forward within her chair. Her ears were perked at the words of Twilight. Though her eyes looked over to her with a twinkle within them. Yet unknown to Twilight was the fact that Rarity was more than ready to strike if her story would be against her favor. “Well, go on! Tell me what you found,” the vampiric unicorn spoke a little bit impatiently. Curiosity filled her body as her life could be standing on the line.

The other mare rose an eyebrow to the rather sudden words of her friends and blinked slowly. “Hey, calm down Rarity. Normally you aren't this enthusiastic when it comes to my studies. But alright, allow me to tell the whole story here. Six months ago I was going to visit Zecora for extra lessons in magic and potion making. It happened there that we both heard something, unusual...” And then Twilight proceeded to tell the story as she knew it.

“This might be a certain doom, or it is all a big bloom,” said Zecora while she walked over to every single window in her house after the both of them had heard the sound of a terrifying howl which was followed up by many branches that snapped from their respectable places. “Whatever this creature was, it certainly had a lot of mass.” the zebra added to her words. She gazed into the darkness of the woods with a frightened expression in her eyes. Her strong, cyan colored rims looked to whatever there was to be seen. The zebra had set her hopes on some sort of trace that the mysterious creature could have left behind. Though she couldn't see anything from the given points of view.

Twilight released a loud gulp before she did the same thing. She made her way over to the same window as the zebra stood and she let her eyes rest upon the empty forest. Empty for as much as they could see it. “Y-You think it will come back, Zecora?”

“It may return soon, but probably around the next, new moon,” the zebra replied before she left the window. With a couple of quick steps had she made her way over to the front door and opened it. It were the two words of ‘new’ and ‘moon’ that awake an unusual interest in the unicorn. She would have loved to have gotten any kind of answer, but she had to wait for them.

It was the mysterious zebra of potions and rhymes who was willing to investigate just what the mysterious creature could have been. Little did either of the mares knew, that there were even more myths at the point of being confirmed. Myths that were better to be placed somewhere safe and outside of the reach of dirty hooves.

Both the zebra and the unicorn found themselves wandering through the forest in no time at all. Their eyes looked for anything that could be declared as unusual. Anything that could be considered unusual found around the home of Zecora were the thing they were looking for. But they found nothing. No matter where they went, the traces they thought which could be leaving to somewhere, didn’t.

It was after they had expanded their search area a bit that it was Twilight herself who made the grand discovery. In her eyes had she made the discovery of what possibly could have happened. “Z-Zecora, take a look at this,” she spoke up with a rightful, fear filled voice.

The zebra walked up to Twilight’s location with a calm pace. Despite haste being of the essence, she wasn’t in the mood to tumble over a root of a tree. Yet she knew they were on the right track the second she saw it. “We have to go, or we might be late for the show,” she spoke up. She placed a hoof in the created path. A path that was made by something big and massive. It had snapped small branches like they were nothing. Not to mention the size was perfect for them.

Twilight gulped in a loud way before she followed Zecora in the hoof. Together they followed the path of destruction that was created by something. Neither of the mares even dared to lower their guard. The unicorn had her horn shining bright. The energy that had been stored within it already, only became greater. She was ready to release it within a second while illuminating the area.

Her watchful eyes spotted something that not even the zebra herself didn't caught. She tapped Zecroa on the back to make her stop. She gestured with her hoof that she had seen something and the zebra got the signal. She would be acting as a guard while Twilight would have done her thing. Zecora could have only hoped that whatever it was, it would have been done quick.

A small magical aura appeared around a flock of hair that hung on a snapped off branch. A yellow flock of hair to be exact. “Zecora, come here for a second,” whispered Twilight.

The zebra was taken by surprise and blinked once or twice before she made her way over to Twilight. The unicorn held the flock of hair within her magic and let Zecora take a closer look upon it. “This creature is not ordinary, but one that came straight from the imaginary!” she spoke with widened eyes. She couldn’t believe the things that she saw before her. Fear filled her like never before and it was her, who let out a deep gulp. For perhaps the first time since her arrival in Everfree, was Zecora scared. She was more scared then anypony could have ever been in the woods.

“H-How do you mean that?” asked Twilight before she tilted her head to one side. She tried to  figure out her spoken words of the zebra the best she could, but the rhyming was always something that caught her off guard.

“Having lived in the forest for years, one gets to know the creatures that everypony else fears,” the zebra replied. She looked Twilight in her eyes during her explanation.

“No offence, Zecora, but could you just stop speaking in rhyme for a little bit?” Twilight replied in a little bit of an annoyed tone. The studious unicorn just wanted to know the how’s, what’s and when’s.

The zebra let out a loud huff and took the words of the unicorn as an insult before she shook her head. “The language of the rhyme, is one that is rightfully mine. But fine Twilight, just this once. I have lived in the forest for years, I know every creature it houses. Yet no creature I have ever seen ever had such a flock of hair.”

“Thank you Zecora. And may, may I take it to analyze it in the library?” Twilight replied as she was eager to leave the place as a whole.

“Go ahead and do so, but the time has come for us to leave. One does not desire to be out here when the sun sets. Allow me to guide you back to the edge of the forest,” the zebra spoke. And with that, she guided Twilight out of the woods.

“I see Twilight, that is all very interesting but then my final question remains, did you find out where it belonged to?” Rarity spoke up after she heard the story her friend told her.

The other unicorn shook her head in a manner of not knowing. “Sadly I haven’t been able to set it on any actual creatures that live or have lived over the set of months. But everything has been pointing out to some myths so far. The lycan myths to be exact. Wereponies, are they are known in the common tongue. But that flock of hair, also reminded me of somepony we both know very well. But then again, many share their coat with another pony. Just take princess Celestia and yourself.”

Rarity nodded in a calm way to the words that Twilight spoke. She formed a reply in her own mind to get just that bit more information. A careful one in order to make sure she didn't betray herself. “Wereponies you say? I, am quite intrigued by that idea to be honest. But not one I wish for it to be true though. For I heard the legends myself, always picturing them as savage beasts.” Rarity couldn't truly explain it, but there was a deep rooted hatred for wereponies that flowed through the inside of her body. It only became worse, the more they spoke about them. She had no idea how it managed to even boil up inside of her for she never had encountered one.

Then it was Twilight's turn to nod after she had taken another sip of her wine. “I know how you feel about it and I give you your right in that though. But let’s change subjects here for a little bit, it has been such a long time since we both simply talked to each other.”

And within half a minute began the casual chatting again. The both of them told about their experiences and learned things, family and friends, jobs and hobbies. That was until the clock hit midnight. The long chiming of the bells in the clock shocked the both of them out of their talk and Twilight’s eyes grew bigger and bigger at the time. “I, I think I need to leave, Rarity. We have been chatting for so long now. Excuse me here but I need to go to bed, busy day tomorrow and all. I still need to start working on that book that the princess gave me so long ago. Bye!”

Almost like the western wind had she disappeared out of the boutique. Gone with the northern sun and left a confused Rarity behind who blinked deeply within her chair. A confused unicorn who plummeted herself once more in her mind. She thought about the words her friend spoke, the feelings through her body and above all, the fate of her slave.
