//------------------------------// // The Bite // Story: All because of the bats // by Misty Skyshadow //------------------------------// Stargazer still alone in the Everfree Forest awaiting help, was still trapped by the bats. She was backing away, slowly, but the bats were getting closer and closer to her. Stargazer was scared out of her mind, she didn't know what to do in these kind of situations, and didn't want to think about it to much at a time like this. One of the bats eye's glowed redder than the others, and it ventured out in to the open, did a swoop in the air, and, flapping it's wings, right for Stargazer. Stargazer, well I all think you know what she did. Or do you? Well, either way, she headded right for the tree. Cantering, maybe even galloping for the tree, she got to the tree, and she was at a dead end. The bat was only inches away, and she couldn't make a move now. The bat creeped closer and closer, Stargazer screamed at the very top of her lungs. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Stargazer screamed. She backed away as close to the tree as she could, and the bat was only an inch from her nose, and took a dive for her neck. "Wha- what are you doing? Are you gonna suck my BLOOD!" Stargazer said pupil's growing wider, and wider. "HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" The bat said looking up to Stargazer's face. "Uh, hehe, ok then have it your way." Stargazer said squinting, and looking up and down, and right, and left. The bat sat down at her shoulder blade, and closed his eyes for a few seconds, and then opened them again like nothing was going to happen. The bat opened it's mouth, showing it's sharp fangs, and lowering his neck down to her neck. He bit down, Stargazer in terror. Stargazer then, fainted on the silkie grass, and hard cold roots of the tree. ______________________________________________________________________ "You think she's ok?" A voice said. "I don't know Twilight." Another voice said. "Shh, she's waking up." The other voice said. Stargazer opened her eyes, she looked down remembering what happened to her just moments ago, and saw that nothing seemed to be wrong with her. Stargazer looked up, she saw Spike, Twilight, and, and, Princess Celestia? "Huh?" Stargazer said confused where she was. What happened to me?" Stargazer said. "Well, it seems you have been bit by a vampire bat." Twilight said. "But, it doesn't seem there is anything wrong with you at all. Even though you got a little bite." Celestia said. "I, I got bit?" Stargazer asked. "Yes, yes you did. But, only a minor bite." Celestia said. "Oh, and Princess Celestia, what are you doing here?" Stargazer said confused. "Well, Twilight sent me a letter and said she heard a scream, so, I came to see once she found you in the forest, and wanted to know what that bite was. So, I identified it, and said you had gotten bit by a vampire bat. So, that's how I got here." Celestia said. "Ok, but shouldn't I be transforming?" Stargazer said worried. "No, you should be fine for now, but, we put a spell on there for now, and if you see your self transforming come see Twilight or I to come and see if you can get the spell put back on." Celestia said. "Ok, thanks." Stargazer said less worried now. "No problem." Twilight said smiling. Stargazer smiled back at her. "Thank you, thank you all." Stargazer said happily.
