//------------------------------// // The Next Day // Story: A Dark Secret // by Headphone Guy //------------------------------// Chapter 3 I was running in the forest. I kept looking back to find those wretched crimson eyes staring down into my soul. Fear ranged throughout my entire body. My legs, my arms, my body, everything aches with pain! My body is going to give out. I look behind me to find that the eyes are gone, hope rose within me until I turned around to find those exact eyes in front of me, blocking my path. I stopped instantly and fell face forward to the soft soil which tasted much like dirt. I cough and spat it out of my mouth. I look up to find that those eyes belonged to a pony. A pale looking mare in fact. The darkness covered her face and cutie mark. She took a step towards me. My body trembled before her presents. She was coming. Panic filled my mind and body. I turned to flee but a hoof held me down. I looked back to see that the mare was smiling. Perfect white teeth except ... she had fangs! Oh Celestia help me!!! I struggled to get out of her grasp. She was too strong! She knelt on the ground. Her hoof moved me head upwards, my neck exposed to the cool air. I looked into those demonic slit eyes only to find hunger in within them. The mares fangs glistened with saliva in the moonlight. She licked her lips. The mare leaned down and started nuzzling my soft fur. I felt my face heat up, blushing madly. Never had I have a pony, especially are mare except my mother, nuzzle me. I felt something wet lick my neck. A shiver ran down my body. A mare with those darn crimson eyes, fangs, and now, shes licking me? Oh. She was not licking me, she was TASTING ME! I squirmed as much as I can, closing my eyes, wishing it would stop...er...kinda...maybe If she wasn't going to DRINK ME DRY then maybe I would like her to continue. I felt the tongue leave my neck. I opened one eye to find the vampiric mare directing looking at me. She smiled and leaned back down to my neck. I felt her cold breath on my fur. Then, I felt unimaginable pain. I tried to stay awake but the darkness consumed me...as I heard a whisper. "Blue..." I woke up instantly gasping for fresh air. Getting straight up, I looked around in my surroundings. I felt my heart beat a thousands times, wanting to come out of my chest. My fur drenched in sweat. I looked down to find that I was covered with soft red silk covers. The bed sheet was of a midnight black color. I look to find that the rest of the room was either red or black. Hmm weird. This is not my room nor my mothers. So, who's room is this!? The door jolted open with a creek. I pulled the sheets back over my body as I faced the creaking door, only to see Soul Chaser. "S-s-s-soul...w-what am I d-doing in your room?" I couldn't help but studder my words. My nightmare felt so real. She looked at me with concern. At least am not at a strangers home. I got to think positive. She walked over to the bed, her gaze said a million words. Did something happen? Crap.... I know... I didn't take out the trash huh. Horseapples... Mom is going to KILL me. I rubbed my neck with my hoof " Did I er... do something bad Soul?" My eyes stared straight into hers. Her beautiful pink eye had me memorized. WAIT!? Beautiful? How did I never notice. Her fur a lovely shade of peach. "Blue, do.... you remember anything from last night? Anything at all?" She asked rubbing her leg with her hoof Oh sweet mother of cupcakes... we had sex, AND I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER!? WHY??? I heard her giggle "And no, we didn't have sex" Whoa... she read mah mind! "I um...don't actually remember anything" I grinned. Maybe am not suppose to know what happened. Maybe I do but meh. "Soul, why am I in your bed. Did I pass out walking home or something?" I continued to stare at her. Her eyes widened at the question. "You um...um were walking in the park and you slipped and hit your head against the pole" she said sheepishly "Whoa, I did? Does that explain my headache and neck pain?" I rubbed my pained neck with my hoof smoothly. She was acting nervously, I wonder why. "Well, thanks for taking care of me now-" I got up from the bed and onto the floor. "i'll be going now" I said with a small fake smile. I quickly got out of the room, moving around I finally found the exit. Pushing the door open, I found more forrest... Waaa? Where are we? I heard the sound of clopping coming towards me. I turned around to face Soul. "Your at my new house Blue" She said simply. New House? What? "You moved?" I asked "Just recently like last week" She continued to stare into my eyes "Well uh, wheres the town?" Are we in the everfree forrest? If we are then this is a nice forrest. "We are not in the everfree forrest Blue, were in a location no pony can find us" What is she talking about? I had a bad feeling about this. "W-why Soul?" Why am I studdering?! "Because.... we cant let ponies find us" She grinned, showing me her perfect white teeth. "Why not?" I asked afraid of the answer "Because... your nightmare is real" She grinned as she suddenly vanished only to be behind me. I yelped, jumping back "WHAT THE HELL!?" She continued to grin "Now Blue... were going to play a...game" She crouched down into a postion similar to the vampony in my dreams "How about... Cat and Mouse?" What I saw stopped my heart. Her fangs slowly slid out as her eyes changed into the deep glowing, crimson red eyes. Soul is a vampony! Wait...does it mean my dream is not a dream? Do I let my dream be a dream? Is anything impossible? "Y-your...!" I whimpered as she snared at me. "S-s-soul... my nightmare wasn't a dream...was it?" She shook her head slowly side to side... so I did get bitten by a vampony, and am going to be lunch in the next hour "Run" She growled "OH HELL NO!" I did the fastest one-eighty in my life. I ran back upstairs and into her dark room. Slamming the door, I slid under the frame of the bed. "Crap crap crap crap crap, am dead.. SOOOO dead!" I heard nothing but silence. So Silent I heard my own heart beat. Shivers went down my spine as I stared at the door, waiting for Soul to bash the door in. What happened next i'll never forget" "Boo..."
