//------------------------------// // The Hunt // Story: Secrets // by grapesRblu //------------------------------// Sunset was backing up from Fluttershy, no this was no longer Fluttershy, this is the beast waiting for her meal, and that was Sunset. Sunset was already against the wall, when Fluttershy was so close from her face, that there noses were touching. Fluttershy took a deep breath, inhaling her scent. "Mmm, AB negative, now there's one you don't see everyday..." Fluttershy said, then she leaned forward, to her ear. "I always knew you were special."she said, by then Sunset was shaking, frozen by what was going on, she couldn't, no wouldn't believe it. Fluttershy then leaned down torwards the vain in her neck, "No this isn't real...Fluttershy wouldn't do this." Sunset thought as Fluttershy opened her mouth, "No...stop..." Sunset said, Fluttershy ignored her, she pressed fangs into Sunset's warm flesh, "No!" Fluttershy was shoved off Sunset before her fangs reached her vain, Fluttershy fell onto the hard, cold tile floor, Sunset saw her chance and ran towards the door, but before she made to the door Fluttershy was in front of her seconds. "Going somewhere?" Fluttershy asked, then snicked. "You know, that hurt when you pushed me," She said blankly, then kicked the side of Sunset's knee, causing her to yelp. "...there, now were even." Fluttershy said and then laughed. She then walked to door and locked it, when she turned to face Sunset, she was gone. Fluttershy simply smiled, and started walking slowly, listening for her meal. "Come out, come out, where ever you are..." She said while walking towards the opened door that leads to the back room... /\/\/\ Sunset was having a trouble breathing, she was shaking and the gash in her neck wasn't helping. She leaned against the door of the small closet. *Thump* A she felt a thump against the door she leaning on. The knob of the door started to turn, then she heard silence, and then quiet footsteps walking away. She let out a breath she didn't even know she had holding in. *BANG BANG* Suddenly, the door was started shaking, "God damn it! DAMN IT! DAMN IT!" Sunset thought as she realized she forgot to lock the door, and now the only thing protecting her from death, was her pressure against the door. "Come on now, I promise it won't hurt...as much" Fluttershy said as if it was her normal self. Sunset had felt hot tears fall from her eyes. After a moment of complete silence a loud roar shattered the sound, "That's it, I'm coming in!" Fluttershy said as she punched the door, causing a hole in the door appear next to Sunset's face, she jumped away from the door, and in result landed on the floor. The door fell revealing a hunger-crazed Fluttershy. "Well that wasn't too hard." She said as she walked towards Sunset and bent her knees until she was face to face with Sunset . "Please...don't do this...I'm sorry..."Sunset pleaded. Fluttershy looked shocked, as if someone had just slapped her. "I know you...please...I can help."Sunset's hand was on Fluttershy's face looking into her eyes. Fluttershy closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes, she looked surprised, and then got up. "Oh, my...Sunny, your arm!" Fluttershy said while she inspected her arm. "Oh thank god you're back!" Sunset said while hugging Fluttershy. "What you mean back?" Fluttershy started, until she felt her fangs on her tongue. She gasped and paled. "Wait...did I..."she said above a whisper. Sunset was still hugging her tightly and said, "Yeah, and don't worry, I won't tell anyone...but you're still hungry.."she let go of Fluttershy and looked at her, until she came to a decision and took off her jacket and exposed her arm. If Fluttershy could be pale anymore then it already was she'll look dead. "Oh no no no no, I already did enough damage." Fluttershy said as she moved to get up, but Sunset stopped her. "Please, I know you need it, and that's why you attacked me." Sunset said while moved her arm closer to Fluttershy's face. Fluttershy could still feel her fangs exposed, wanting to feed, but shook her head. "No...I don't want to hurt you..."she said while looking down, but felt an arm on her shoulder. "Look, it's not you're making me, I doing it for my own sake."she said. Fluttershy looked up at Sunset. "Well, if you insist.."she said while taking Sunset's arm and before she bit it, looked at Sunset for approval, Sunset gave a small nod. Fluttershy opened her mouth and aimed for a vain on Sunset arm and felt her fangs pierce through flesh, Sunset flinched, but didn't move. Fluttershy began drinking, it was the best thing she had ever drank, like pure gold. After minute or so, Fluttershy withdrew from Sunset's arm, Fluttershy looked at her then got up and helped on her feet. "Now time to fix those wounds." Fluttershy lead Sunset to Mr. Wilson's office. She sat down on a chair while Fluttershy got the first aid kit and began to fix her injuries. After a moment of silence, Sunset spoke up. "Um...if you ever need to,um, feed...let me know...so you can drink." Fluttershy stopped and looked up from the wound on her arm. "No, I...couldn't...you see, I, um, feed daily...if I feed from you daily..."she stopped talking, and swallowed. "...You can die." Sunset looked down at her, "Okay." Fluttershy finished cleaning and wrapping her arm, then began to clean the two small gashes on her neck. /\/\/\ After finishing up on Sunset's wounds, the began clean up, fix the door and anything else they made a mess of, the next 2 days everything had gone back to normal, except Fluttershy and Sunset had gotten closer, not that anyone really noticed. It was lunch once again, Rainbow Dash was talking about basketball tryouts, "Yup! I am so making the team!" She said while Applejack rolled her eyes and said "You're not the only who's tryin' out Rainbow." said while Dash looked at her and gave her a cocky smile. "Yeah, that's true, but I'm gonna be team captain!" Applejack frowned angrily and said, "Ah might just try out, just to whoop your a-" "Now, there is no need for vulgar language." Rarity interrupted, but just remembered something. "Wait, I thought Sunset was going to try out as well." She said. Sunset looked up from hearing her name. "Well not trying to rain on your parade Sunny, but I'm making team captain, but don't worry I won't steal all of the spotlight." Rainbow Dash said while slapping Sunset's shoulder, which she clutched her shoulder and groaned. "Woah, sorry I guess I don't know my own strength...heh,heh" Rainbow Dash said. "No...it's not you, I just had an accident." Sunset said while Fluttershy looked down at plate...she wasn't hungry anymore, now that she was reminded of what she did, she got up and walked away without saying a word. Before Sunset could go after her, someone dragged her back in her seat. She looked at her right to see who was and was Pinkie Pie. "So, did you find out the love of her life?" She asked excitedly, soon everyone at their table was quiet and waiting for to speak. "Um...not exactly..."Sunset said slowly. "Well? Who is it!?" Rarity said, who was almost leaning out of her seat. "Look, she doesn't like anyone okay! It's something else...I promised I couldn't tell anyone, so...just let it go already!" Surprised by her own outburst, Sunset got her bag and walked away from the table, in the direction Fluttershy went in.
