A Bond Carved In Blood
Part 1: Vampiric Tendencies
By: Major Frostwing
I awoke early into the night it was strange to wake up so early. I could still see the final rays of sun fade from view as I glanced out of my "Bed". I decided to get my night started right as I climbed out of bed moving through my room changing into a new suit. Hey gotta stay classy no matter the occasion. I went to my fridge pulling out a can of juice and a bag of liquid I pulled a glass off of my counter emptying the bag into the glass before adding the juice. As I took the first sip of the liquid I felt satisfied for the first time in days.
"Strange." I muttered as I downed the rest of the drink. "Maybe I will sleep the rest of the night and tomorrow's day." I yawned walking back over to my bed crawling inside. Sliding the lid over the bed sealing myself off from the rest of the world I drifted off into a dreamless sleep. Little did I know how painful my wake up was going to be.
----------------------------------
I heard a loud thump on top of my bed which is strange no one should be in my home. I saw the lid being lifted up off of my bed when I felt the sun hit my skin. I yelled in pain as I grabbed the handles on the inside of my casket closing it not letting it be opened again. "What in tartarus there is someone in there." I heard a female say albeit muffled.
"What in tarnation are you blabbin on about Dash why would someone sleep in a coffin in the middle of a field."
... Excuse me did she just say... in the middle of a field... and from what I felt it had to be the middle of the day.
"Let's take it to my house we can observe it there." I felt a strange static cover my body as the casket was lifted off of the ground. After a short while The static disappeared and I felt the coffin tap the ground I continued to hold tight onto the handles allowing no entry to my bed.
"Sir can you please come out we would just like to speak to you." I heard a regal voice ask I slowly moved the lid seeing that I was indoors now.
I moved the lid off completely slowly sitting up in the room. I let out a yawn from what felt like my lack of sleep. I noticed that there were 6 women in the room.
The first woman to my right was a short woman with glasses. She wore a purple suit that spoke volumes on authority she seemed to be a scholar in my eyes due to the fact she was carrying a book with her. Her hair was black with two separate tones of purple in them but what truly caught my eye was the horn on her forehead and the lavender wings on her back. Strange creature but I really can't say much.
The next woman I saw was slightly taller with a more slim build to her. She wore what looked like a training suit it was black with rainbow stripes on the sleeves and legs. Her hair was the color of the rainbow I couldn't help but shrug mentally at her appearance. She had a pair of cyan wings adorning her back.
I continued to the next woman she seemed to be a farmer of some sorts due to the clothes she wore. A button up plaid shirt that was tied up so her midriff showed she wore what looked like blue jean shorts, cowboy boots, and a stetson on her head. Her hair was a dusty blonde color tied into a pony tail that reached the middle of her back. Nothing else stuck out with this one.
As I turned my attention to the next one I felt like I was standing in the presence of a crazy person. So... Much... Pink... You think I am kidding her let me explain. Blouse. Pink. Hair. Pink. purse. pink. Shoes. Pink. I was a little perturbed by her I was always more of a sleek black look to blend in not stand out like this one.
I quickly looked away to almost skip over one of them. She was cowering behind one of her friends She had long coral pink hair that nearly covered her face. She wore a very large dark green turtle neck sweater with light blue jeans. I looked at her before she made a squek and moved out of my view. I saw a glimpse of canary yellow wings from her back.
I looked to the last one who seemed to be examining me as well. She was a perfect 10. Hourglass figure, perfect posture, confidence seemed to radiate from her. She had long curly purple hair that seemed to bounce at the smallest movement. She was wearing a white blouse with a black vest on. Her pants were a dark purple and seemed to be designer made. Everything about her outfit matched perfectly I noticed she had a horn as well.
"Hey bub mind telling us why you were sleeping in a coffin in the middle of a field?" I turned to the voice seeing it was the rainbow haired girl. I raised my eye brow to the woman still trying to figure out how I got into that field.
"I honestly don't know how I got out there miss I normally do this in the privacy of my own home." I said climbing out of my bed straightening my suit.
"Do you always sleep in a coffin?" I turned again to see it was the scholar this time.
"I think introductions would be the first place to start." I placed my right hand over my heart and my left hand behind my back bowing to them. "My name is Charles Bishop it is a pleasure to meet all of you ladies this horrible day." I smirked but it faded when I saw the confused looks on their faces. "To me the day is a horrible thing it is far to bright and annoying. The night is my ally allowing me to enjoy my self as I wish." I saw more confusion which made me sigh. "This is normally when you all are supposed to introduce yourselves." They seemed to snap out of their confusion as they began introductions.
"My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle." The scholar said with a smile.
"I am Rainbow Dash fastest flier in all of Equestria." She struck a pose which earned an eye roll from me.
"I'm Applejack but you can call me AJ." The cowgirl said tipping her hat to me.
I didn't even have time to react to the next event. My hands were seized in the grip of another as I was then violently shaken up and down. "Hi my name is Pinkie Pie but you can call me Pinkie we can be friends. I should throw you a party a very big party with balloons and streamers and all types of fun games li-" I pulled one of my hands free as I suddenly covered her mouth yet she continued to speak.
"Pinkie dear he did just wake up give him a minute to adjust." The purple haired woman said calmly. Pinkie froze before nodding and backing away from me I sighed in relief.
"I'm... um... F-Fluttershy." I heard in a barely audible whisper I could hear her perfectly but I was wondering why she was so quiet.
"And I am Rarity A pleasure to meet you Charles." She held her hand out to me I took it into my hand gently kissing the top of it with a smile. She smelled of lilacs.
"The Pleasure is all mine Miss Rarity." I said kissing her hand again before releasing it.
"Ok back onto the subject at hand." Twilight said clearing her throat.
"Well to be honest I have no idea where I am I was in my home preparing my breakfast I ate layed back down to sleep." I paused trying to think if anything else happened to lead me here. "And that's it I woke up when one of you tried to open my bed while the sun was still out. AND the sun was shining on my bed what would happen if I were to burst into flames just then?" I asked crossing my arms with a sigh.
"I highly doubt you would burst into flames from a little sunlight." Twilight said waving her hand dismissively. I looked at her slightly annoyed.
"I have very delicate skin that burns easily." I checked my suit coat pockets finding all of my items. They were all watching me now which I will admit angered me to a degree.
A strange aura surrounded me I looked at it trying to see what it was. "Can I help you?" I asked still observing the aura.
"Strange you are not the same race as us." Twilight said still examining me. "So what are you?" I chuckled shrugging.
"I am just myself nothing else to it." They all watched me more closely and a few of them backed away from me. "And how can you tell what race I am with this strange aura?" I moved my hand through the aura doing my own analysis.
"I was just using it to see if you were injured or if something was wrong with you." She smiled. "And I was right to do so... you are missing a special hemoglobin in your blood if left un-check it could kill you." She dispelled her scan looking me over. "That and something else." I raised my eye brow to her smiling.
"Pray tell Twilight what could that be?" She pulled out a scroll and a quill writing out a quick message snapping her fingers it was sent.
"I will need the princess to help me." There was a bright light that engulfed the room I shielded myself as much as possible but the light still hit me. When the light finally dispersed I was on the ground. My skin seemed to be smoking from the light that hit me.
"F-fuck." I muttered my entire body burned from the light. The girls ran up to me seeing if I was alright but what they saw scared them. Half of my face was burned off I was trying to cover it with my hand which was also skelletalized. Two of the girls Rarity and Fluttershy fainted as I tried to get a hold of myself.
"Twilight what creature have you found?" I heard a new voice say I turned my eye to the voice. It was a woman and she was beautiful but something about her made me afraid.
"That is why I sent you the letter. I do not know what he is and he seems to be a very old creature." Twilight said watching me carefully and with a small hint of fear.
"I see." I was finally healing my left eye grew back along with my muscles and finally my skin. As I stood a golden aura surrounded me I felt the same burning sensation my skin ignited into flames.
"GET IT OFF OF ME!" I yelled trying to swipe away the aura. Everyone in the room jumped as I tried to put out the flames on my skin. The aura was dispersed. A bucket of water was dumped on my Steam seemed to billow off of me as the flames were extinguished. I stood there my skin was burned badly I could only glare at the woman in front of me. "You stay the hell away from me. Got it." I said my voice thick with malice for the woman.
"It was only a simple analysis spell why did you burst into flames?" She asked my reaching out towards me I backed away from her.
"Well I guess I have no choice but to tell you." I sighed my skin healed slower than before I needed to feed. "I am not the same race as any of you I am a vampire." They all looked at me confused. "Have none of you ever heard of a vampire?" They shook their heads no. "I think we should start at a better topic... Where am I?"
