7684242 Perhaps, but what would Twilight jump to first? The forest that very realistically has wild and dangerous animals that have easy access to the caverns, or one of her best friends who had been dead is now newly risen and is killing ponies? As much as I rag on Twilight at times, I'm looking at this with the perspective of somebody who has seen people deny events even when proof is right before them because the person being accused is either family or a dear friend. Twilight will not want to believe that one of her best friends is now a monstrous murderer, and I honestly can't blame her. I'd do the same, I must admit. And I am already dreading when she finally accepts that her friend is now undead and murdering innocents.
7684289 Hmm... I have a different perspective on this kind of stuff though, if I found my family to be a part of a vampire coven that encourages its members to kill victims, then I would Kill them with few regrets, I am a logical thinker, as is Twilight, she's had months to work over the everfree, this new avenue is just another path to take in the investigation(With hope that the Killer isn't fluttershy.), however regardless to personal feelings I imagine Twilight would Take the new lead, even if just for the Location of the Murders.
7684323 On that we're in agreement. Kinda thinking that Twilight will investigate in hopes of proving that it isn't Fluttershy, but admits to herself that somehow her friend might be up and about killing. Not something I think any sane person would like to ever consider, I'm sure.
7684338 Twilight isn't 100% sane if You might have Noticed, also in a world of magic, you have to admit even living there, almost anything can happen. Take pinkie Pie for example.
7684357 What I'm waiting for is Spike asking if this means that zombies exist, and then this happens: Twilight: No Spike, zombies do not exist! Spike: And neither do vampi- OH WAIT.
Honestly, I'm liking this story so far. It's just stuff like how religious everyone seems to be that really annoys me. That's a personal thing though as I don't really think mixing religion and MLP should be a thing but that doesn't mean I won't keep reading this.
7684189 7684195 Wouldn't Twilight going to Fluttershy's mausoleum (Why nobody's visited it this entire time I don't know) and seeing that her body's missing be enough to convince her that it's Fluttershy?
7685739 Depends on whether or not anybody feels like "disrespecting the dead", though honestly I'm pretty damn sure anybody with the power of "common sense" would have pointed that out and been met with horror and insults of "callous mule" or something like that.
7685894 Well, with Dinky's accusations it would be the easiest way to prove or disprove it. Plus the building was open and Fluttershy was in a glass coffin and on display as far as I remember.
7685922 Indeed it would be. Let's just hope that somebody points that out and they actually go and do that. We're at 7 victims and counting now. Also, somebody better let Daisy know, after they confirm that Fluttershy isn't in her coffin, that they actually found the killer and for sure it is not Lucky. This is, of course, assuming that Flutters doesn't return to her casket after feeding.
Absolutely awesome chapter... Sorry to see so many of the foals slain like that, but it really drives hone the danger that Fluttershy has become. I'm glad Dinky made it out alive though
Sweet Jesus, that was terrifying. I can't imagine what would happen if Dinky tells Princess Twilight what she saw down in the abandoned mine shaft. Here's my prediction: Princess Twilight orders all of Ponyville under complete lockdown (with all citizens barricading themselves in their homes along with their children), assembles a team of hunters and royal guards, and engage hunting down Vampire Fluttershy.
So did she really go a full month without killing or did she attack those that tried to leave Ponyville and nopony found the bodies yet. There was no reason for Fluttershy to just let Dinky get away, she could fly up the elevator shaft and there was still a ways before Dinky would have been safe. It just seems like plot convenience even though nopony is going to believe Dinky that the killer is Fluttershy except Derpy. They'll just write it off as the filly being hysterical and imagining things because of the trauma. Hopefully Dinky can at least sway some ponies and we can get a vampire hunting party going.
This was a much more emotional story that I thought it would be but I'm eager to see more. Even though I'm not a fan of Fluttershy seemingly just being a mindless killing machine, she's more like a smarter than average zombie than a vampire. I'd like to see her start talking to her victims as I like my vampires intelligent. What's worse than the Mane 6 having to fight a vampire Fluttershy, having to fight one smart enough to use their feelings for Fluttershy against them. Well I'm interested to see where you go with this either way.
“I know that, Spike,” sighed Twilight, looking behind her shoulder. “But it’s also my job to protect my friends. Whatever killed Roseluck and Porky is still out there.”
Porky?

Oof. This chapter was almost too much for me. I'm not against blood and gore, but I'm not really a huge fan of children dying. This will hopefully the most fucked up chapter, because I feel a bit queasy after this.
You have an extra bold tag in there during the
“AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHH!”
Also, if you want a move vivid red in the text editor, use ff0000 instead of the default be4343
Now to continue reading.
Well, now they know the Culpret...

And money on Twilight not buying it until she actually sees Fluttershy walking around and killing herself.
Speaking of Twi, when you finally do believe this: Regretting not going to Zecora and her "supernatural" explanations earlier, huh?
Well. Those pictures were wonderful. Really helping me fall asleep. In the dark. During a serious thunderstorm. In the cold.
Yeah.
Happy Halloween though!
7684195 I'd give Twilight a bit more Credit than that, it may be a foal, but her story is still backed up by FIVE dead bodies.

Chills, man. Chills EVERYWHERE!!!!
Also, glad to see this story isn't dead. I was beginning to lose hope, but you pulled through in the end, and that's all that matters.
Created a TvTropes page for this here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/SanguineKindness
Feel free to add to it.

Really good chapter can't wait for the next one. By the happy Nightmare Night!

Is there a point to all this killing?
I can't see any sort of non tragic ending coming from this.
Absolutely awesome chapter... Sorry to see so many of the foals slain like that, but it really drives hone the danger that Fluttershy has become. I'm glad Dinky made it out alive though
Welp....that's enough trauma for Dinky's entire lifetime.
Trick r Treat?
It's also probably my favorite Halloween movie. It has the VA for Princess Cadance in it!

Question: Why did you switch from calling the second victim "Pokey" to calling him "Porky"?
God! This is like a horror movie! Except its good and F--king terrifying!
also, RUN DINKY! RUN AND DONT LOOK BACK!
Porky?

I thought this was some bad joke, But I think that the writer actually forgot Pokey's name.
Oof. This chapter was almost too much for me. I'm not against blood and gore, but I'm not really a huge fan of children dying. This will hopefully the most fucked up chapter, because I feel a bit queasy after this.
Images are "invalid" again for this one.
After his death, they changed his name to "Porky Price"?

Oh, thanks! The previous chapter needs it too, if you didn't see that comment.
Thank goodness, Dinky wasn't killed! I can't imagine how devastated Derpy would be if she is. Although she'll probably be traumatised.
