“How fast could you do it, Vanelda?” Voron murmured. “Could you use your puny pony magic on me faster than I could snap her neck?” He tightened his grip.
You son of a....
“Daddy?” Vellum looked expectantly at him. “What happened to Lady Philharmonica?”
Wait...Philharmonica?
“Daddy, I think she’s going to cry! Big sis, don’t cry! That’s so babyish!”
Oh shut up Vellum!
“She thinks she can keep a lot of things from me.” Daddy sighed. “My dear Vanelda. All these decades and you still have not learned? You can keep nothing from me. My blood is your blood and your blood is mine. Your life is mine. I can sense when you are lying to me. Your blood sings of your deceit.”
As much as I hate to admit it, he has a point.
She couldn’t tell him she didn’t want to be a monster anymore. She was tired of being something they were afraid of. She could knock out the homeless he spoke of so that they couldn’t see her when she bit them, but even that filled her with revulsion. While he was wooing some new mare, he never did his own hunting, so it was impossible for herself or Vellum to drink only a little. Vellum’s slow aging also meant she was still too small to contain as much blood as he needed without starving herself. No, it all fell to Vanelda, as usual. She was the big sister; the dutiful daughter. It was her responsibility to look after them both.
In Vinyl's position, with the life she has, that has got to suck.
Vanelda shut her eyes, extended her fangs and drank deep. She couldn’t bear to look at the dead mare’s wide purple eyes.
I don't think he quite understands that if Tavi dies then Vinyl will stop at nothing to see him and her sister eradicated. She would no longer have any hope for her peaceful life, and would be perfectly willing to die if it meant avenging Tavi. She would likely march right up to Celestia or Luna - interrupting court with a show of force if need be - and lay all her cards on the table. I'm pretty sure she could easily strike a bargain where she would submit herself to literally anything the Princesses wanted on the condition that they make sure the other vampires were permanently stopped.
Conversely, as long as Tavi is alive, Vinyl will do anything to protect her.
9257238 I'm not sure he subscribes to the mindset that it would ever be possible for his weak disappointment of a daughter to amount to anything which could cause him anything more than annoyance.
Okay, I have to wonder - does this actually go anywhere except torture porn and sadism? Because if not, I might as well check out now. And that would be too bad, because I thought this story might have potential.
My first thought was, what did he expect, taking a normal pony and trying to turn her like that? And then I realized: he expected obedience, because he's that arrogant.
Damn, this is a great character, but this story is harrowing. XD

Wait...Philharmonica?

Purple eyes....

No Death tag. I don't think that was Octavia. The stuff in italics are usually flashbacks.
9256012
You think it may have been a descendant of Octi?
9256036
...the term you meant was ancestor, not descendant. I find the idea stupid that people get those two mixed up.
And no, I think it might have been Octavia's mom.
9256042
Oops, my mistake.
9256042
or octavia, let's not forget the gouls

My first comment this chapter was that it most likely ISN'T OCTAVIA because the stuff in italics are FLASHBACKS.

I take it you liked my comment?

Please don't spoil it!
9256275
I was making a guess. I have no idea who it actually is.
9256397
Oh ok, sorry.

You're agressively correct. I like you.
I want Volon and Vellum both to slowly burn.

He's in a tiger by the tail scenario here.

Sigh. Where is the Dawnguard when we need them?
Maybe Vinyl should have told Celestia about the possible danger of Voron. She might have been able to help her.

Got it on the nose there.
"Philharmonica?" "Purple eyes" Could this mare have been related to Tavi in the past? Great chapter as usual. Can't wait for next Friday.
Man Voron does not play around.
I am literally balancing on the edge of the despair event horizon I need literally ANY semblance of a ray of hope in this fic PLEASE.
Voron the moron,
Should choke on a bar of bloody boron
i absolutely love this and excitingly waiting for the next chapter <3
