Bloodthirst got more and more tensed every second and screamed with all his might. It was not until he felt somepony touching him and woke up with a start, panting and finding himself back in Platinum Royale’s room.

“Bloodthirst! Are you okay?” Platinum asked, concerned after seeing him waking up with sweat and looking tensed. “You look like you’ve just woke up from a nightmare!”

“I… did! For the third time already!” he replied hysterically. “I’ve been dreaming this ever since you came home! I just don’t know what to do…!” He fell into Platinum’s hooves and wept.

“Easy there, young boy,” comforted Platinum. “I’ll try to talk to my friends about this. Perhaps they can give some advice.”

This is a side story from The Inheritors of Friendship, taking place right after the eighth arc.

Bloodthirst the vampire pony has been living in Ponyville with Rarity and her daughters since the night he came. Read as he tries to accustom to the modern lifestyle with the ponies, developing friendship with the others and also his growing relationship with Rarity's eldest daughter Platinum Royale...

Note: My storyline will contain several plot changes from the original story because Season 6 began airing while I'm halfway through this story, and I've completed The Inheritors of Friendship just a few weeks before Season 5 started airing. So it means that this story will have more references to Seasons 5 and 6 and my headcanon of course will have a number of alterations here. But in most of the cases, my headcanon's timeline will remain the same. Anyhow, please enjoy
