Vamp-Ponies Ch.4

Ch.4

"Come on Twilight why not turn me into a vamp-pony too?" Rainbow Dash asked as she flew above Twilight and Rarity, who were walking towards Raritys home.

"No" Twilight simply stated.

"You're not even gonna give me a reason?" Rainbow Dash hovered in place as Twilight and Rarity walked past her.

"Nope"

"I think Twilight is saying she can't darling." Rarity spoke up, giving a proper answer before Dash did something without thinking. Like screaming loudly and waking everypony up, or trying to tackling Twilight. "She's probably still weak after turning me."

The reason Twilight didn't give proper answers was because she was angry, with herself. She'd told Rainbow Dash to go home and not tell anypony what she heard, she should've guessed she'd be back later.

"So we wait a few days then you can turn me." Dash landed as they stopped in front of the Boutique.

"She's also busy with helping me to control my new abilities" Rarity pointed out.

"She could train us together" Rainbow Dash retaliated.

"I could. But I won't, because I'm not turning you" Twilight stated, her tone indictaing she was bringing the argument to an end.

Rainbow glared at Twilight. She crossed her forelegs and huffed loudly. "Fine, we'll see what the others say when I tell them about you sharing your gift" taking off Rainbow Dash flew quickly out of sight leaving Twilight and Rarity standing there.

"She's acting like a spoilt filly" Rarity unlocked the door and entered, as she turned to face Twilight she saw her friend, and now mentor, had a smile on her face. "Aren't you worried she's going to tell everypony?"

Twilight's grin widened as she shook her head. "Nope" Twilight looked into the distance where Dash flew, knowing the next day would be fun.

---***---

Hours later, after the sun had risen Rainbow Dash flew over Sweet Apple Acres looking for her friend knowing she'd be awake.

"Applejack" Dash called out as she saw her, landing next to her.

"Hey Dash, ya come ta help me like ya said ya would?" Applejack asked as she continued to buck the tree.

"Never mind that now," Rainbow Dash brushed that perticular subject aside, it always clashed with her snoozing schedual. "Twilight's got a major secret she's keeping from us."

"Dash every pony's allowed to keep secrets, and ah ain't no gossip gal so ah don't want to know" Applejack started picking up the few apples that missed the bucket "and ya shouldn't be telling other ponies secrets."

"But this is important, it can help us and make us more awesome" Rainbow almost pleaded, she was desperate to tell Applejack.

"Something Twilight has that ya'll say is awesome?" Now Applejack was getting interested, it wasn't often Rainbow Dash, self proclaimed most Awesome pony in Ponyville said something Twilight Sparkle, dubbed Egghead by said Awsome pony, had was awesome. Sighing and giving in to her curiosity Applejack said "Fine Dash, what is it?"

Smiling broadly, and mischievesly, Dash took a dramatic deep breath. "Twilight is-" suddenly she couldn't talk, the words had stopped in her throat and were setting up home. All she could manage was a strange stretched rasping noise that made Applejack take a step back.

"Dash ya'll ok?"

"Yeah, I'm ok" Dash panted, she had no clue what was going on. Why couldn't she tell Applejack Twilight was a vamp-pony? "I was trying to say, Twilight is-" again the words stopped and the same rasping noise.

"Dash if ya'll just foolin' around ah ain't got time" Applejack said angrily, turning back to the apples

"NO, wait. I'll write it" Dash cried out desperatly. Using her hoof she started to write in the dirt, a look of concentration and desperation on her face. Mumbling the words as she wrote them "Twilight. Is. A"
Her hoofed stopped, she couldn't move it. She grunted with the effort of trying to move it until she cried out in anger "write it or I'll break you off."
Suddenly the hoof moved by itself and turned to face Dash, using her other hoof to protect herself Dash cried out as the hoof launched itself at her face.

"Dash ya'll acting really weird. Ya should go home and rest, ah got work to do." Grabbing the bucket full of apples she heard Dash cry out again. Turning around to face Dash she saw she'd drawn a dirt moustache on her own face, it running onto her cheeks and curling.

"I'll sky write it" Dash called out desperatly, flying off into the sky. Applejack just shook her head and went back to work.

In the sky Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could, grabbing clouds and shaping them into letters and words. Reading them off in her mind she only had one more word to go. "Twilight. Is. A-"
Suddenly she felt something was wrong, she wanted to turn but she was still going straight, and seemed to be dropping. That was when she realised her wings had clamped against her body and refused to open again.

Screaming, Dash fell toward the ground. She'd never noticed before just how solid it looked. Tumbling out of control, her limbs flailing, hoping, praying there would be a cloud or something to grab onto but she'd used all the closest clouds to make the words. Dash closed her eyes, she didn't want to see the end come.

SPLASH!

Dash had landed in the river; the freezing cold water was almost as much of a shock as finding her wings didn't work. Gasping deeply for breath as she broke the surface she felt her wings move under her power again.

Looking to the shore line she saw Twilight sitting there with a satisfied smile on her face. "What did you do to me?" Dash shouted as she tried to swim, only to be picked up by Twilights magic and placed her on solid ground.

"Had enough yet? Or you thirsty for more?" Twilight giggled as Dash shook the water out of her mane, sending the water in every direction.

"What's going on with me? What did you do? Is this another weird vamp-pony power?" Dash felt so angry the water should've been steaming off her, Twilight on the other hoof looked like she was having the time of her life.

"Hypnotic suggestion. I told you not to tell anypony so you can't, and your mind stops you anyway it can" Twilight looked like she was about to burst out in laughter, if she knew this would be so fun she would've done it years ago. Though the telling off she'd had gotten from her parents might have out weighed the fun.

"So it's your fault. Unable to talk, my hoof attacking me. My wings closing and me crashing out of the sky, I could've died" Dash shouted, her wings springing open in anger.

"Come now Dash, do you really think I'd let my friends get hurt. I've been watching you all day, there's a reason you landed in the river instead of someone's home."

---***---

Sweetie Belle opened the door to the boutique as quietly as she could, peering in through the small gap she couldn't see her sister anywhere. Opening it more she sneaked into the dim room, the store was closed for the day and Rarity had closed all the curtains but Sweetie Belle had enough light to see. Looking into the kitchen she saw Rarity sitting at the table with various broken glasses in front of here, a mixture of sweat and tears had messed her make up slightly. She currently held a glass in her hooves and an intense look of concentration on her face.
As Rarity slowly raised the glass off the table Sweetie Belle watched it crack until finely it shattered into large and small chunks and fall onto the table, crying out loudly Rarity held her hoof to her head and began to swoon. Rushing forwards Sweetie Belle managed to grab Rarity and hold her up for a few seconds, before Rarity's weight becane too much for her little legs and collapsed onto the floor.

"Are you alright Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked picking herself up now that her moment of drama was over.

"I'm fine" Sweetie Belle felt herself get picked up by Raritys magic and her now slightly squished mane get restyled. "What are you doing? I've never seen you smash a glass so easily before."

"Oh it's something Twilight has me doing; it's suppose to teach me to control my new found strength but as you can see, I've not been that successful as of yet." Rarity looked at the amount of glass on the table and felt another dramatic scene coming.
"Oh Sweetie Bell," she cried out, resisting the urge to swoon again "the glass it too fragile, I fear I shall never hold another glass it my hoofs again."

"You always used your magic to hold a glass" Sweetie Belle pointed out, earning a coy look from her older sister.

"Quiet darling I'm having a moment" Rarity whsipered so the empty room couldn't hear, Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. Raritys 'moments' could last a while, and the best of them deserved to be in a play by William Shakesmare.
"Never shall I raise it to my lips and taste its sweet contents, for my new found strength seems too much for such a fragile thing."

"You could practise on something stronger, like wood or stone. Or one of Scootaloo's cupcakes, I've seen Applebloom use them to knock nails into stuff." The CMC had each tried cooking and needless to say it wasn't successful, not even Spike could take a bite out of Scootaloo's cupcakes and he ate jewels. Though he did say they were helpful in cleaning his scales.

"Now that's a thought" Rarity tapped her chin, all dramatic sonnets forgotten for the moment. "If I practise with stronger materials first then I can practise until I can control myself perfectly. That's such a good idea I could hug you Sweetie Belle."

Looking at the table and broken glass Sweetie Belle took a few steps back. "That's ok, why don't you try hugging a doll?"

Suddenly remembering something Raritys horn began to glow. "Actually Twilight gave me something for just this moment" a poorly stitched and obviously home made doll floated into the kitchen, the head was small while the chest and one of the legs were over stuffed, the stitching was made from thick thread that looked like it should be used to make a bears fur into a coat. In other words something Rarity had an urge to throw away and make something from fresh, but for its purpose it served well so she didn't. Yet.
Taking the doll into her hoofs Rarity hugged it tightly, the stuffing spreading itself throughout its small body until finaly with a strained ripping noise Sweetie Bell watched as the thick leg fell off and onto the floor, closly followed by the by the head. The weird X stitched eyes facing up with its creepy four X smily facing up at them. Looking from the doll to Sweetie Belle Rarity cried out again, throwing the doll on the floor as Sweetie Bell ran out before she could be dragged into anything.

As she left Opalescence entered, she'd been snoozing most of the day which she enjoyed doing. But with the curtains closed and no warm sun shine coming in it had desturbed her sleep, lucky for all it was nearly lunch time and the large white one that kept her well groomed always had good eats for her. As she took in the scene of the room Opalescence stopped, broken glass, a torn up stuffed object and the large white one crying in the middle of it all.

"Oh Opal, mommy needs a hug" Rarity sniffed as she saw her cat and held open her hooves.

Oh well, maybe Fluttershy has some good eats today, Opal thought to herself as she turned and left. But how best to get there? The blue loud one had the flying shell thing that could get her there quickly.

Rarity cried out again as Opal left, slamming her hooves on the ground like a filly who'd just lost its favourite toy. As her cries died away she sulked, until a thought struck her. "Come now Rarity you must simply take your mind off the matter,” she said to herself, picking herself up and moving into the design room. Pulling a design book over Rarity knew it contained ideas she'd had in the past for various and many designs. Some where out of season or would be too expensive to make, or would take too long and would interfear with her business. But as she flicked through the pages she searched for a complex one, a design that would take hours to make and she found it in a dress that would only look right being worn at a suare held by royalty.

Placing the book down Rarity set her mind to automatic and let her magic do its work, wrapping itself around various items she'd need as she looked over the disgn. Complex stitching, a large jewelled broach and of course the colours would match the ponies mane and coat, for this one basing it on her own mane and coat would do. Focusing entirly on her work Rarity ignored the flow of time, cutting and shapping the fabric, stitching here and adding a pin there until finally the dress was complete. As her gorgeous design stood gorgeously in front of her Rarity couldn't help but admire how gorgeous her design had turn out.
As she placed everything back in its proper place Rarity smiled to herself "that was just what I needed, the only thing that could relax me this much would be a trip to the spa" glancing at her dress again she couldn't help smile broader "making that dress must had wasted a good... FIFTEEN MINUTES?"
Looking at her clock Rarity thought it must have been broken, a dress of that design should have taken her hours to make if not all day. But to make it within fifteen minutes? How? Why? Then she remembered what Twilight had said about her various new abilities, and aparently running a mile a minute wasn't all the speed she had. Sitting down Rarity cried again, the sorrow of her bereavement of being unable to lift a single glass with her hooves welling up again. "Now what am I supposed to do?" She wailed, the new and freshly made dress having no answers. Suddenly Rarity stopped. "Although now that I think about it, this will help with bulk orders."

---***---

Twilight sat at her working desk in the library, a book open infront of her with an ink well and quil ready to be used next to it and a roll of parchment spread and ready to be written on. The fact that Twilight was using the desk as a make shift bed made the other items a moot point,
She'd finally got some quiet time to herself after leaving Rainbow Dash next to the river, and as such Twilight did what she enjoyed best; reading, writing and learning. The plan had gotten as far as everything was ready to use when exhaustion set in, staying up all night and still being drained from turning Rarity was a bad mix.
As her body rested Twilights mind played an old scene in her head, one that was over fifty years old and one she hadn't thought about for a long, long time. Twilight was a filly and was excitied the way only a filly could be, she was at her first social gathering of vamp-ponies and would hopefully meet other filly vamp-ponies.
As they entered the large room filled with other vamp-ponies wearing their own cloaks Twilight couldn't help but feel nervous, she and her family were wearing their own cloaks made by her mother; large collars, black on the outside and the inside matching the colour of their coats.
Twilight hid behind her mother slightly as she watched all the larger and older vamp-ponies walk by, some giving a greeting to her parents and some giving a simple nod.

"Do you know all those ponies mommy?" The young Twilight asked as she stepped out from behind her slightly.

"I recognise a few of them from my younger days" mommy smiled as she looked down at Twilight, her father and brother already mixing with the crowd as he proudly introduced his son, and pointed out his daughter. "Most of these vamp-ponies I've never met. But this pony I shall never forget" mommy smiled brightly as a vamp-pony walked upto her, a dark brown coat with matching mane wearing a blood red cloak. "Twilight dear I want you to meet a very old friend of mine and your father, how are you Dracule?"

"Now now, I haven't gone by that name for the last 500 years. I now go by the name Al Card" the brown pony sweapt his cloak over his body for effect and gave a bow, Twilight could see his cutie mark, three white cards with the third over lapping the other two giving ponies a clear view of the bright red dragon on it. "And you say this is Twilight? A pleasure to meet you" Al bowed again, Twilight shrunk back slightly.

"Hello" she said quietly as her mother brought her fully into view "you know my mommy?"

"Know her? Why your mother and I go back centuries?" Al laughed loudly "I knew her when she was barely older than you are, why I'll never forget the day she-" he bousted loudly but was cut off by an even louder

"Yes thank you Dra- I mean Al, I do not think my daughter needs any ideas on how to misbehave."

Twilight tugged slightly on her mothers cloak as Al laughed, her mother leaning down as she whispered "I'm hungry"

"There's a table over there with food on it, have you been practicing your magic?" Mommy asked and received a nod from her daughter "don't eat too many sweets."
Twilight smiled as she walked away, she said not to have too many sweats so that meant she was allowed to have plenty as long as it didn't become too much. Three big plates isn't too much is it? As she walked towards the table she heard Al ask loudly, which seemed to be his theme. Loud.

"Do you still play the piano? I know a few ponies who would love to hear some of the old music. Todays modern rubbish is nothing compared to the classics."

As Twilight approached the table she gleefully looked at the food, there was chocolates, dandelions, chocolate cake, wheat grass, chocolates, fancy looking fruits, a trifle and most importantly chocolate. One at a time Twilight floated a plate and various foods down in front of her, a few pieces of her favourite fruit and a large slice of cake was, what she figured, a good start. Picking up the plate with her magic Twilight looked for a good place to eat, as she looked around she walked into somepony. It was a light blue filly, with a white mane and a cloak with a few hoof stitched stars on it for an effect of a night sky, she turned on Twilight and barked "Apologise"

"I'm sorry?" Twilight asked, the plate still hovering next to her.

"That will do" the filly stuck her nose up at Twilight, she seemed a bit odd to Twilight but at least it was someone her own age to talk to.

"I'm Twilight, what your name?"

"You awe talking to Twixie. The soon-to-be Gweat and Powewful Twixie" the blue unicorn introduced herself, the tone of superiority not leaving her voice.

"Twixie?" Twilight asked, thinking it was a strange name

"Not Twixie. TWIXIE, the soon-to-be Gweat and Powewful Twixie" Trixie complained, as if Twilight intentionally got her name wrong. A Lot of ponies got it wrong first time. Twilight looked at her confused for a second before she realised something.

"Oh, The gReat and poweRful TRixie" Twilight said happily, putting a lot of anunsiation on the Rs.

"That's what Twixie said. Awe you hovewing that plate? What have you got on it?" Trixie asked, remembering it Twilight hurridly put it down and showed her new 'friend' what she'd put on it.

"Fwuit, I mean, fruit and cake" Twilight blushed slightly but Trixie seemed to have ignored her.

"Twixie likes this fwuit" Trixie stated before grabbing a piece with her own magic, it faltered slightly several times but remained in the air long enough for her to eat it. Twilight was going to complain but there was plenty more back at the food table, plus she wanted a vamp-pony friend other than her brother. The older vamp-ponies had quietened down slightly as piano music started playing.

"Why are you the soon-to-be great and powerful Trixie?" Twilight asked as she ate a piece of fruit.

"Because Twixie's pawents are gweat, and powewful, so that means Twixie will be too. I'm gonna, I mean, Twixie is gonna be the stwongest unicown ever." Trixie tried to levitate another piece of fruit but it dropped back on the plate several times before she got it in her mouth, she seemed to ignore her mistakes and continued. "Then Twixie is gonna show nowmal ponies how much bettew she is, and they'll have to do as I say. As Twixie says" she quickly corrected herself.

"Why? My mommy says we need ponies and in sunlight we're not much better than they are. She also said there are more of them than of us." Twilight didn't like what Trixie was saying, as she understood it the vamp-ponies needed normal ponies for blood and she was always told never to take blood. She liked the ponies that gave blood to her family, they were nice to her and gave her a cookie when she visited.

"So? Twixie is gonna solve the sunlight problem when she's oldew and is the most powewful unicown evew. Then we can take blood whenevew we want it and won't need to hide 'cause no pony will be able to stop us." Trixie tried picking up the last piece of fruit but as her magic faultered Twilight grabbed it with her own magic and ate it, earning a glare from Trixie.

"Taking something that isn't yours is wrong, and if we attack ponies Princess Celestia would stop us" Twilight pointed out as she broke off a large piece of cake and pushed it in her mouth as Trixie laughed harshly.

"Even Pwincess Celestia would fall to vamp-ponies, especially if they were led by the Gweat and Powewful Twixie." Breaking off her own piece of cake equil in size to Twilight's Trixie raised it to her face, as she was about to bite into it her magic stopped and it fell to the floor missing the plate entirely. Ignoring the cake Trixie broke off a small piece and ate that instead.

"How are you going to be great and powerfull? You can't even levitate food. Plus you sound ridicules calling yourself 'Trixie' all the time" nudging the plate closer to Trixie Twilight stood and turned, leaving Trixie with a stunned and angry look on her face. Twilight had hoped they could be friends but she didn't like what the blue filly was saying.

"Can't levitate food?" Trixie shouted, turning around Twilight saw she had an angry look on her face and her horn was glowing, the plate with what was left of the cake above her head. Suddenly the cake flew towards Twilight who yelped and closed her eyes, she could feel her magic rising and her horn glowing as she expected the cake to hit her at any second but it didn't.
Opening one eye Twilight saw Trixie covered in the cake and an even angrier look on her face. "You can telepowt things?" She screamed, some of the older vamp-ponies watching them now as the piano continued to play.

"I can?" Twilight asked surprised, she'd never teleported anything before, she was just getting the hang of levitating things.

Brushing the plate and cake off her Trixie ran past Twilight and jumped up onto the food table, and with all magic showmanship forgotten, grabbed the trifle with her hooves before throwing it at Twilight who only yelped again but this time her magic didn't kick in automatically, the trifle was flying towards her and she couldn’t stop it and it was going to hit her and ruin her mane. Accept it didn't.
Opening her eyes Twilight say the trifle floating in front of her face wrapped in a familiar colour of magic. "What are you doing to my sister?" Shining Armor stepped out of the crowd and in front of Twilight, who felt so happy to see him she could hug him. The trifle flew back to Trixie and hit her in the face knocking her backwards into the other food and covering her mane in various colours as the contents splattered everywhere. Shining laughed triumphantly as protecting his sister and defeating the nasty pony who tried to humiliate her was both noble and exciting, something a royal guard would do any day of the week, he heard somepony shout

"What Are You Doing To My Daughter?"

A vamp-pony stepped forwards, a dark blue coat and a white mane, and grabbed Shining Armor roughly only to be pushed away by magic, another vamp-pony stepped forwards.

"He was protecting his sister, now what do you think you were going to do to my son?"

"Daddy" Twilight happily hugged him as he wrapped a hoof around her. Around her the older vamp-ponies were starting to shout and argue with each other and were getting angrier and angrier. She wanted to say something but nopony would hear her and just when she thought it was about to get worse the shouting stopped and all the vamp-ponies froze. Deep powerfull notes were being played on the piano and each chored struck at every vamp-pony. Things had just gotten worse.

"It has been a very, very long time since we could come together." Twilight heard a voice speak and she knew it, mommy was angry. As she spoke the piano still played out the deep notes. "I had hoped my daughter and son could make friends here, that my husband and I could see old friends. To show each other that we have survived this long time apart and have changed to suit the world around us. It seems I am to leave disapointed, it seems some of us are trying to cling to the so called glory we could have had if She was still around." her voice turned to venom when she was said "but there was no glory, only failure and fear and hunting. If that is what you are teaching you fillies then neither I nor my family shall see you ever again."

The piano stopped playing and Twilight felt herself get picked up by her father and placed on his back. Even though she felt safe and secure so near her father and brother she still shook, her body was scared for some reason. She'd never heard her mommy talk like that before, her little body couldn't take it, she felt like a large scary monster had jumped out of the closet and chased her.

---***---

Twilight's eyes flickered open as her body and mind woke up, the events of the dream still fresh in her mind. But it wasn't a dream, it was a memory and she knew it. Sighing deeply Twilight said to herself "I forgot all about that."
