You wake up in the morning in your home in Ponyville. The sunlight shines on your face, welcoming you to a new day. You let out a yawn as you roll out of bed. After getting ready, you leave your house and begin walking through the streets of Ponyville. After walking for a bit, you hear a noise behind you. You look back, not watching where you were going. You then bump into a mare.
"Hey!" she says, shocked. "Watch where you're going."
"Sorry, I didn't see you." you apologize.
The mare was dark blue with a purple mane.
"Ah, it's fine." she says. "So, what's your name?"
Raven gets up from the chair and walks over to you. She then kneels down in front of you.
"You surrender?"
"I do."
She smiles and then bites down on your neck. She takes more blood than last time. You almost feel as though all your blood was drained before she stopped. You collapse to the floor, on the verge of death.
"What's going on?" you ask.
"You're becoming my Ghoul." she says. "Now... you're mine."
"As a matter of fact I am." you say. "I worked at the hospital for a couple years."
"Well, goody for you." says Raven coldly. "You had a successful life. That's more than I can say for me."
"Raven..." you say softly.
"Forget about it." she says, turning and walking away. "We have to move on."
You step away from the wall and resume following her.
She leads you through alleyways and then stops in front of a house.
"We're here." she says.
You look at the house.
"Fyre's house?" you ask, knowing the family.
"Yes." says Raven, turning to you. "Know her?"
You nod. "Yes. And her foals. What do you want with them?"
Raven sighs. "I need to feed."
This catches you off guard.
"Feed?" you ask. "What are you talking about?"
She smiles. "Come here." she says seductively as she backs into the alley next to the house.
You follow her.
"What is it?"
She holds you against the side of the house and bites your neck. You let out a scream as she does. She then pulls away, blood staining her lips.
"Like that?" she says with a smile.
"What are you?" you ask.
"I'm a vampony." she answers. "I live off blood. But I'm getting weaker. I haven't fed in weeks."
"What do you need me for?"
"I won't be able to hunt my prey at their full awareness. I need you to weaken them for me."
"Weaken them?" you ask.
"Beat the living crap out of them so they can't fight back."
"What?" you ask, shocked. "I'm not gonna beat them up."
She forces you against the side of the house again.
"I will kill you myself if I have to."
"I won't hurt this family, Raven."
"Then you leave me no choice."
She tries to bite you again but you throw her off. She hits the side of the adjacent building hard and falls to the ground. She feels her head and then looks at her hoof.
"I'll heal." she says, still staring at her bloody hoof.
You place a hoof on top of her's, forcing her to lower it.
"Do you really need to feed?" you ask.
She nods. You let a sigh and help her up. The two of you walk back to the front door and knocked. A orange mare with a yellow mane opens the door.
"Storm?" she asks.
"Hey, Fyre."
"Who's your friend?" she asks.
"This is Raven." you answer. "She's hurt. May we come in?"
Fyre notices the blood.
"Sure. Sure. Come on in."
Fyre steps aside so you and Raven can enter.
"Nice place." says Raven.
You know she's just playing nice.
"Thank you." says Fyre. "The bathroom's down the hall, first door on the left."
"Thanks." you say, leading Raven to the bathroom.
The two of you enter and she closes the door.
"Now, get on it." she urges.
"Do we really have to?" you ask. "I've known Fyre for a long time. She's really nice."
Raven's eyes narrow and turn red as she backs you into the wall.
"I don't care who she is." she says coldly. "I don't care how long you've known her. I don't care if you like her. I don't care if she has children." She presses a hoof on your chest, holding you against the wall. "Just do it."
You look back and see Fyre standing in the doorway.
"Just passing through, Fyre." You begin walking away. "Just passing through.
Fyre closes the door as you walk away.
You arrive back home and sit at the kitchen table, thinking about Raven. You get up and begin making yourself a meal. The food's ready about a half hour later. You take it to the kitchen tab;e and sit down. You smell the food.
"Mmm." you say aloud. "Smells great."
You're about to dig in when there's a frantic knock at the door.
"IT'S ME!" yelled the voice, frantically. "FYRE! NOW HURRY U--"
She suddenly stops speaking as you rush for the door. You jerk it open to find Raven standing behind Fyre. She had a foreleg around Fyre's neck and her other hoof over Fyre's mouth.
"It's such a shame." says Raven. "I was really hoping you were gonna do what I wanted."
"How'd you get your strength back?" you ask. Raven smirks as tears fall from Fyre's eyes. "Oh, no." you say, stumbling backwards. "You didn't."
"You'd be surprised how much energy the little one's have, Storm." she says, lowering her hoof from Fyre's mouth.
"How could you?"
"I told you to weaken them, didn't I?" asks Raven. "That way I wouldn't have had to kill them." Her eyes narrow. "This is all on you."
You could see the sadness in Fyre's eyes.
"Fyre..." you say. "I'm so sorry."
"Storm..." she begins as Raven moves her hoof over her mouth again.
Raven jerks Fyre's head and you hear a sickening snapping noise.
NO!" you yell as Fyre's body falls to the floor. You kneel down and prop her up in your forelegs. "FYRE!"
Raven enters your home and closes the door.
"If only you had done what I asked." she says, sitting down at the kitchen table. she takes a bite out of your meal. "But you chose to abandon them." she says with a mouthful of food.
You hug Fyre's body tightly before gently laying her down. You stand up and face Raven, the fires of rage burning in your eyes. Raven smiles at you as she swallows the food.
"What are you gonna do, Storm? Gonna kill me?"
"I was thinkin' about it." you say, staring her down.
You knew it'd be difficult to fight her but your anger was strong, too.
"Then shut your bucking mouth and follow me.." she says, turning and walking away. "We have to move on."
You step away from the wall and resume following her.
She leads you through alleyways and then stops in front of a house.
"We're here." she says.
You look at the house.
"Fyre's house?" you ask, knowing the family.
"Yes." says Raven, turning to you. "Know her?"
You nod. "Yes. And her foals. What do you want with them?"
Raven sighs. "I need to feed."
This catches you off guard.
"Feed?" you ask. "What are you talking about?"
She smiles. "Come here." she says seductively as she backs into the alley next to the house.
You follow her.
"What is it?"
She holds you against the side of the house and bites your neck. You let out a scream as she does. She then pulls away, blood staining her lips.
"Like that?" she says with a smile.
"What are you?" you ask.
"I'm a vampony." she answers. "I live off blood. But I'm getting weaker. I haven't fed in weeks."
"What do you need me for?"
"I won't be able to hunt my prey at their full awareness. I need you to weaken them for me."
"Weaken them?" you ask.
"Beat the living crap out of them so they can't fight back."
"What?" you ask, shocked. "I'm not gonna beat them up."
She forces you against the side of the house again.
"I will kill you myself if I have to."
"I won't hurt this family, Raven."
"Then you leave me no choice."
She tries to bite you again but you throw her off. She hits the side of the adjacent building hard and falls to the ground. She feels her head and then looks at her hoof.
You run to the door and open it. Fyre bolts inside. You see Raven approaching quickly. You slam the door shut and lock it.
"What happened?" you ask.
"Oh, it's terrible!" Fyre cried. "My children... She... Oh, God!"
There was a loud bang on the door that startled you and Fyre.
"OPEN THIS BUCKING DOOR OR I'LL BUST IT DOWN!" screamed Raven.
"What are we gonna do?" asks Fyre.
You look around the room.
"Hide under the table." you say. "I'll get her out of here."
Fyre nods and darts under the table. Just then the door flew of its hinges, crashing to the floor. Raven slowly walked in.
"Hello, Storm." she says, the fires of Hell burning in her eyes. "Where is she?"
"Who?" you ask. "Fyre?"
"OF COURSE, FYRE!" Raven yells. "WHO ELSE?!"
"Uh..." you stammer. "She ran out the back."
Raven slowly walks up to you and stares you in the eyes. You can feel her breath on your face.
"She's still here, isn't she?"
"No." you insist. "I told you. She ran out the back."
She kicks you in the chest, causing you to fly down the hallway. You land near the door to your bedroom. As you look up, you see Raven approaching you.
"You're lying." she says, stopping in front of you.
"No. I--"
She picks you up and throws you through your bedroom door. You land on your bed as she enters the room.
"Better tell me the truth before I decorate these walls with your organs."
"I am telling the truth." you insist.
Raven holds you down on the bed by your neck.
"I know she's here." she says. "Now tell me... Where is she?" You say nothing. All you do is choke. "ANSWER ME!"
"I'm right here." says a voice.
Raven looks at the bedroom doorway.
"Ah, Fyre." she says. "There you are." Fyre holds up a knife. "You think that can kill me?" asks Raven with a laugh.
Fyre runs at Raven and stabs her in the chest, just missing her heart. Raven lets out a laugh.
"You stupid bitch." says Raven. "Don't you know that only a stake can kill a vamp?" She holds Fyre by the neck. "Guess that's a no." She pulls the knife out of her chest and holds it in front of Fyre. "Time to join your kids."
She raises the knife. Just then a piece of wood bursts through Raven's chest, piercing her heart. She lets go of Fyre and the knife as she whips around. You are standing next to a broken table. Raven then looks down at the stake and slowly pulls it out. She drops it as she staggers to the side and falls to her knees.
"Well done, Storm." she says. "Well done."
She collapses to the floor, bursting into dust.
You and Fyre leave your house and stand outside.
"So, it's over now." you say. Noticing Fyre was crying, you hug her. "I'm so sorry, Fyre."
She cries harder into your shoulder, letting it all out.
"I miss them so much!"
You rub her back. "I know, I know."
You continue to comfort her over her loss for the next few weeks. She soon slips into a depression. You then feel like your victory wasn't a total victory.
You lunge at her, screaming. She grins and yawns. As you're about to tackle her, she disappears. You land on the chair with an oomph.
"Nice try, foolish colt." she says. "But the only way to kill a vamp is you either know how to or you are one."
She kicks you in the side, knocking you on your back. She then kneels down on top of you.
"Poor, poor Storm." she mocks. "Dying... knowing full well that your friend and her children are dead. Must be terrible."
"I hope you rot and die." you say coldly.
Raven smirked. "More times than you could possibly imagine."
She quickly leans forward and bites down hard on your neck. With no sign of stopping, you try to struggle. But, it's no use. She's too strong for you. If only you were a vamp, too. The world around you begins to fade away as you slip into darkness. Did you really think you could fight a vamp head-on? Well, congratulations. You are now dead. Happy?
"I'm not gonna let you suffer through that pain." you tell Fyre.
Raven darts forward and bites down on Fyre's neck. You close your eyes and cry as you feel Fyre squirming. After about a minute or so, she suddenly went limp. You open your eyes but you don't let go of Fyre.
"I'm so sorry." you cry.
Raven lets go of Fyre's neck and leans backwards, sighing contently.
"Much better." she sighs. You continue holding on to Fyre's body. Raven looks down at you. "I guess I'll leave you to your thoughts."
She leaves the house. You never see her again after that. You then spend the next few years of your life having nightmares about Fyre's face and the thought that you could have saved her. You occasionally visit her children at an orphanage but they never speak to you. They blame you for their mother's death. Can you blame them?
"Isn't that sweet?" asks a voice. The two of you look over at the entrance to the living room and see Raven. "She has your heart." Her frown turns to a scowl. "Now it's time to break it."
Raven summons a dagger and throws it at Fyre. You roll on top of her as the dagger hits you in the back.
"STORM!" she cries.
The dagger disappears in a burst of smoke as Raven approaches the couch.
"So, you're willing to sacrifice your life to save hers?"
You roll over on your back. "Absolutely."
She lunges at you and you kick her in the chest. She lets out a sharp yell as she is knocked on her back. you watch her, stunned that you could cause that much damage. And then you remember.
"How could you..." Raven started.
"Don't you remember?" you ask. "You're weakened because you haven't had any blood for a while."
She shoots off from her spot on the ground, grabs you by the neck, and slams you into the wall.
"But that blood I took from you earlier gives me the strength I need to kill you."
You punch her in the neck, causing her to stumble backwards, choking.
"Sure about that?" you ask.
You kick her in the chest, knocking her on her back. She started to gasp for air. Fyre left the couch and trotted up beside you.
"What's wrong with her?" she asks you.
You kneel down over Raven.
"Her time's up." you say. "She didn't get the blood she needed. She's dying."
Tears filled Raven's as she reaches up to you. She places her hoof on your cheek.
"I'm sorry, Storm." she says. "I didn't want this to happen either."
You stare into her eyes, trying to decide whether she's being truthful or not.
You feel she is telling the truth, so you lower your foreleg to her mouth. She looks at it and then up at you.
"Are you sure?" she asks. "After everything I've done? After what I planned to do?"
"You were desperate. Perhaps when you heal, we can be friends and just forget this ever happened."
"Really?" asks Raven, eyes lighting up. "I've never had a friend before."
"And you never will if you don't drink."
She bites gently into your foreleg and sighs. She only took a bit. After she was finished, you help her up. She stumbles a bit but you catch her. She looks up into your eyes before giving you a hug.
"Thank you." she says crying tears of happiness.
The three of you then go on to be friends. Well... except for you and Fyre, who become much more than friends. Raven occasionally needs a little to drink but not enough to cause any damage. Talk about a happy ending.
"I don't think so, Raven." you say. "You tried to kill us."
"I was desperate." she cries, choking. "Please?" she begs.
"You're lying. I'll give you blood and then you'll attack."
"I won't!" Raven cries. "I promise!"
Her gasps for air and her choking get more violent. You turn away from her as her gasping suddenly stops. You look over your shoulder as she disintegrates into ash. Fyre gives you a hug. You hold her tightly.
"It's over." you say. "It's all over."
The two of you then wind up living together as you take your relationship to the next level.
