//------------------------------// // Chapter 1(edited) // Story: Into the Twilight // by Midnight_Eclipse //------------------------------// Into the Twilight by Midnight_Eclipse Chapter I A thunderous sound of a creature boomed across the Everfree forest, growing closer and closer towards the small rural town of Ponyville. As the cacophonous outcry of the ominous beast beyond the forest, upon a meadow hill with a slick steep leading down where the moonlight touched; was a young mare who worn a black cloak with holes that allowed her skin bat wings to show. She soon pulled down her hood, revealing herself to having a lavender coat that went along her mane and tail with blue highlights streaking down. She also had an horn indicating her level was not just based in flight capabilities, but also in magic. Her eyes were actually glowing a faint lavender as she stood there, waiting for the creature to make it's appearance. On her back, she had a sinister looking death scythe strapped with magical tendrils. Eventually, the cloaked mare looked up just in time to see an incoming massive tree speeding straight at her direction. Side-stepping to the side, the mare dodged its crushing mass that crashed a feet from her as her gaze remained dead ahead of the responsible source of that tossed tree. The massive beast finally stepped out of the shadows of the cruel forest, revealing itself to being an giant ethereal looking bear with some small glinted star-like spots on its blue ethereal coat. This creature was called an Ursa Major. The cloaked mare merely stood there, stoic as she watched the creature come forth, growling and roaring in anger as the fury burned in its dark eyes. The mare stood up on her hind legs and brandished her scythe in her front hooves as she spoke in a stern tone and said, "You best return to your den. I don't want to fight you but I will if you threaten my ponies." Her eyes glowed bright after giving the beast her warning, ensuring it was only provoking trouble in its path of fury. The beast halted and gazed down at mare, only seeing an pathetic little pony who dared gave orders to him. Who was this mare? Why would a pony order him when he could easily squash her to a mere puddle? This angered the beast furthered as it then charged her that spurred its rage and looked down to it. The cloaked mare pulled up her hood, shrouding her face in darkness as she soon vanished then in a blur, causing the beast to swipe at nothing but air once it made its first move. Confused, the beast looked around for the vanished mare until he soon felt intense pain laden upon its back, forcing it down on its belly. The beast began growling as it looked behind his back, spotting the mare standing there with her scythe still at the ready for his next move. The beast quickly got up from the ground before charging again towards the mare with killer intentions, but like a moment ago, the beast only swiped at nothing but air. He looked around before he felt weight on it's head. Looking up, the beast spotted the cloaked mare standing on his head, but soon gulped when he seen the blade of her scythe at his throat, softly touching the sides with its cold sharp steel. "I said leave." She spoke in a more serious and deadly tone. The beast gulped and nodded its head assuring it was going to obey this time as fear was shrouding its eyes. The mare released her scythe and leaped down, as the Ursa Major did not hesitate to turn tail and scurry off into forest, feeling that mare's cold gaze still rest upon its back. The Following Morning "SPIKE!" Came the voice of Twilight Sparkle. She was in the dining room within the new crystal kingdom's castle, growing use to its newly established flooring and polished to furnished room. She was busy eating some blueberry pancakes, while also reading the daily news paper of Manehatten Times. She had called for her assistant again, once after noticing because that there was an article that she was not fond of. She had noticed in the paper that a strange mare fought off an Ursa Major and caused it to flee back into the forest. Further into the article, they did not obtain any clue to who the mare was, due to it being very dark and difficult to see. Twilight still wanted to find out though who was up at that time of night to see this all occurred. "Yes, Twi?" Spike responded entering into the dining room while reading one of his favourite comic issue of the Power Ponies. He was too into the book, he failed to notice the chair right in front of him, which he crashed. He crashed into the chair and soon fell down on his rump, groaning when his comic book fell on top of his head. The dragon sent an annoyed glare at Twilight's way as she was trying to hold in back a laughter. "Haha, very funny, so what did you need?" He asked in an annoyed tone. Twilight took a deep breath to calm her self before she laid out the paper for him to see it as he got up from the ground and walked in front of the table. Spike took a look at the article, before smirking and returning his gaze at the alicorn. "Heh what? I don't know who did this, but come on, you're a hero. Stop being so modest!" The dragon laughed at this before taking up his comic again, reading it, much to Twilight's growing dismay. "That's not it, Spike! I've used an illusion spell to make my wings look normal and to also hide my fangs. What if they find out? What if they hate me? Oh, Celestia, what if they form a mob and burn me at the stake?!" Panic was now in full swing until Spike reached up and smack Twilight across the muzzle, getting a loud yelp from her. "That's enough, Twi! Geez! Calm yourself already. They won't hate or burn you at a stake! Wait....burn you at the stake?" That part finally caught the his attention, causing him to raise an eyebrow. "Really? Twi, they've not done any of that since before Celestia and Luna were born!" The drake said looking at her with a deep frown. Twilight looked down at the drake and chuckled softly, leaning down and giving him a nuzzle, followed by a hug, she then said, "Thank you, Spike. I don't know what I'll ever do without you." After she pulled back, she eyed the dragon with an serious expression as she began rubbing her cheek. "But did you have to smack me? Geez, I might be an alicorn, but I still feel pain as much as any other normal ponies." This comment only caused the drake to burst out in laughter before walking out of the room. Twilight, on the other hoof, remained behind as she finished her pancakes and finished the paper. I wonder what the townsfolk think of this...I hope they don't think it's me. It's bad enough dealing with the need for blood. Which reminds me, I need to go feed. Twilight thought as she got up from the table, washed her dishes, and put them away in the cabinet before she walked out the room making plans to head after the castle. It was such a lovely morning in Ponyville. It had been sometime since the darkness that clouded the streets had up and forced to leave. The darkness being, the Dragon Slayer, Discord, the Smooze, and many others that had threatened the rural town. It was remaining a peaceful small town, excluding the wandering monsters and beasts, but maintained. However, even in times of peace, anything could happen to break that order. So, Twilight had funded a new building in the town. A blacksmith shop and there was only one she trusted enough to actually work that new shop. The only pony she truly loved with all her heart. Willomena Christine Pie, or Weepy Cry for short. Willowmena Christine Pie was the unicorn counterpart of Pinkie Pie. She was from a different world all together that came into Equestria the other week in pursuit for salvation from her queen, however, the vile queen found her and delivered punishment. Weepy's appearance was covered in scars from when she failed her queen and was punished due to her own failures. Even her own cutie mark had more scars than her body's. At first, the vampire was loyal to the queen, thinking it was Celestia due to the illusion she was put in until she broke through it. The case for encountering Weepy was meant for to being Twilight's blood bank but the two grew closer and soon fell in love throughout the course of time. When Twilight arrived at the blacksmith, she smiled once she seen her lover working hard at pounding away at a sheet of metal shaped into a sword. As Weepy continued to hammer away at the red hot glowing metal while Twilight approached the loud cacophonous noise of the hammer's blunt strike made; it hard for the the pink unicorn to hear her approaching lover. "Hard at work, I see." Twilight asked, causing the pink unicorn to yelp in surprise and leap into the air, dropping her hammer from her magical grip. She panted, almost out of breath until she turned and recognzied her special pony, giving her a sheepish smile. "D-don't do th-that!" The pink mare cried out, panting and trying to get her heart to stop racing. The pink mare had the same demeanor as Fluttershy, only worse; she was so shy, she was actually submissive and easy to subdue, which Twilight didn't like very much. In fact, she hated it. Twilight merely chuckled lightly as she walked up and pecked the unicorn's cheek softly, causing Weepy to blush a bit. "Sorry about that, dear. I couldn't help it." Twilight replied as she chuckled a bit more. Weepy on the other hoof, huffed as she blushed even harder. Turning back to her work, she picked up her hammer and began forging the blade she was working on again. "So, what brings you by here, Twi?" Weepy asked, as she focused on her work with her back to the princess. "Oh, no reason. Did you see the paper this morning?" Twilight asked as she eyed the pink unicorn, who stopped her work and looked back to her lover. "Yes. Twilight, you need to be more careful. There's no telling what these ponies will say about a princess who's a vampire too." She responded. Twilight merely chuckled as she pecked the unicorn on the nose. "I'll be fine, love. No worries. I couldn't have let that major get into the town, could I? Besides, how was I suppose to know somepony was around to put this in the paper?" Weepy merely sighed at this before returning to her work as Twilight smiled. "Well, I better get going. I have some shopping to do. I'll see you at home, after work." After a parting kiss between the two mares, Twilight left the pink unicorn to her work. Later that Evening Twilight had finished her shopping and got home to the castle. She had five bags, full of food and other miscellaneous sorts of items, floating in her magical grip. She looked a bit tired from all the walking, but that was due to the low amount of blood. Of course, she'd get to that later, so she didn't mind all that much and focused on ahead, heading towards the castle. Twilight eventually made it into the castle and once she was down the hallway she walked on, she made it into the kitchen to put away the food. She didn't see Spike anywhere. She assumed he might have been over at Rarity's or at Applejack's place after a few seconds of thinking. She did say he could stay with the Cutie mark Crusaders over night, the day prior. Placing the bags down on the floor, Twilight stretched out her limps a bit before she began to unpack the bags. The fifth she didn't unpack for the time being as decided to preserve that once she was ready to head into the bedroom. Just as Twilight finished unpacking and putting things away, she heard the castle's door open and close. This brought a smile upon her face as she trotted out of the kitchen and down the hall to the main entrance, where the doors were, to find Weepy Cry walking in. Giggling lightly as she seen the pink mare tiredly make her way in, she walked up and nuzzled the mare. "Have a good day at work?" Twilight asked cheekily and only giggled more at the annoyed glare she got in return. Pecking the mare's cheek lightly, Twilight spoke up. "So, anyway, I bought somethings while out. Well, besides the usual food and other supplies." She giggled lightly. "Somethings for the...heh...bedroom." She winked which caused the pink mare to blush brightly at this. "Are you too tired to see?" She asked with an coyful smirk. Weepy, blushing really hard now, gave a small shake of her head. Twilight had then walked off, shaking her tail end at the pink mare lightly and teasingly before winking. She giggled at the fluttered unicorn as they entered the bedroom the two of them shared, which was as large and accommodating as that of Celestia's. Large alicorn sized bed in the middle, wall to wall shelves with books. Science equipment and even astronomy equipment as well. To the right of the door that led into the bedroom, was another door, which Twilight had trotted up to as she peered back at the pink mare, smirking. "Hehe, you wait here, I'll be right out." With that, she opened the door, which led to a bathroom, trotting in and closing it behind her. Weepy, walked up to the bed and gently climbed up onto it, stretching out as she waited for Twilight. Several moments later, the door to the bathroom reopened, revealing Twilight up on her hind hooves, leaning against the door facing with her front right hoof. She had earrings in her ears that were of her cutie mark. She had black stockings up her hind legs that were connected to a pair of black lace and fishnet panties. The panties were also connected to a black corset around her mid section. Her tail was also braided along with her mane, which the latter was pulled back. Weepy, looking over as the door opened, blushed bright when she seen her lover. Just the sight of this made the pink mare want her but she was to shy to even act. Twilight smirked at this as she lowered to all fours and slowly trotted up to the bed, her wings resting neatly to her sides, which she had dropped the illusion spell, revealing they were bat wings. Her illusion on her teeth had dropped as well, thus revealing her eyeteeth a lot longer and sharper than a pony's should be. Weepy gulped a bit as she watched her lover make her way towards the bed, growing more and more anxious by the second. If only she were more brave and less timid, she'd attack the vampire right then and there but sadly, she was very shy, timid, withdrawn and very submissive. Twilight smirked as she climbed up onto the bed beside her lover. "Heh, so do you like?" She asked in a low seductive tone, which caused the pink unicorn to shiver a bit at the words. Giving a small nod, the unicorn replied. "Y-yes, I d-do, Twilight...." She spoke softly and timidly as Twilight gently rolled the pink unicorn onto her back, straddling her. "Oh, my dear, we are going to have so much fun." Twilight smirked lightly as she lowered her head down and nuzzled against the unicorn's neck softly, before she parted her maw and grazed her fangs against the mare's neck. "May I? It's time for me to feed and I won't take without your permission." Weepy blushed brightly before she gave a weak nod of her head, tilting her head to the side for her lover to sink her fangs into. Twilight smiled a fanged smile as she leaned down and gently sank her fangs into the unicorn's neck, which caused her to let loose a small moan of bliss. Twilight closed her eyes as she tasted the blood from her lover, which she moaned out softly as well. After a moment or so, Twilight released her lover's neck, smiling as she leaned in and softly licked the mare's neck, which caused the wound to close up. twilight smiled as she looked down at her lover, who was now looking up to the alicorn with a blissful look in her eye. "I-I can never g-get tired of th-that..." Weepy commented with a dark blush on her cheeks. Twilight merely giggled lightly as she leaned down and kissed the mare deeply, which Weepy happily returned, wrapping her hooves around her and held her. They parted, leaving a small trail of saliva behind from one another's muzzles. Weepy was still blushing as Twilight giggled lightly before smirking deviously. "I'm in the mood for some....pie....tonight." She spoke smirking and it took a second before Weepy caught on to what her lover was indicating, which caused her to blush even darker, if that were possible. Meanwhile in Canterlot Castle "Tia! Did you see the papers?" Called the midnight blue alicorn as she came trotting into the Solar princess' room, much to the alicorn's dismay. Celestia groaned as she opened her eyes to look at her little sister holding a paper in her magical field. Celestia then sat up and smiled sweetly. "Of course, I did, Lulu. Who do you think this strange mare is? She's obviously very skilled if she's able to scare off an Ursa Major." Commented the solar alicorn as Luna beamed at this before nodding her head enthusiastically. Celestia, on the other hoof, merely smiled kindly as she got up from her bed and strolled over towards her balcony. Looking up at the sky above, she smiled as her sister strolled up towards her older's. "We are thankful that this pony was there or so many ponies would have lost their lives." Commented the solar princess as the Luna gave another agreeing nod while she looked down to the city below. "Yes, it would have been very bad." Luna commented as she looked up at the night sky that had been brought forth, only about thirty minutes prior to the Lunar mare's intrusion. The solar alicorn smiled lightly before she turned and walked back into her room but stopped at her bed, looking back to her sister. "Let's hope this mare is trust worthy. Now, I need some sleep. I'll see you in the morning, Luna. Goodnight." She smiled as she climbed up in bed as the lunar mare nodded in return as she flew off the balcony and back to her own. Landing gently on her balcony, she turned back to the moon that remained still in the sky with a calm smile. "Well done, Twilight. Well done. You just saved a lot of ponies by scaring that Ursa off." She spoke to herself before she turned and walked into her room, then out to return to her duties. To Be Continued
