> Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodbath > by Grand-Galvatron > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: The False-Siring > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight Sparkle had a stressful day today. Twilight woke up with a crick in her neck, her boyfriend Timber Spruce, didn't say goodbye to her as she left for work, her favorite coffee shop was closed for the holiday and Twilight's boss was busy yelling at her throat. Even though Twilight's boss would yell at her and say hurtful things, she just sits there and takes it because she doesn't want to lose her job. Twilight is the main breadwinner of the household because Timber doesn't do anything but waste Twilight's hard-earned money on junk food and booze and often ignores her. Today was Christmas eve, and Twilight was heading home from the Supermarket after buying a lot of food to celebrate the Christmas holiday. Twilight didn't even bother to text Timber that she was coming home because Timber never answers her texts. Twilight then had to wait for 2 hours in traffic, and Twilight being a little irritable was an understatement. As Twilight finally got out of that traffic jam, she then headed towards her home. The time was 6:30 pm, usually, Timber's gambling buddies would come over to watch the football game, however, Twilight didn't see the red convertible they usually rode in. "Hmm, that is strange," Twilight thought to herself. As Twilight walked over to the front door, she saw that it was unlocked, Twilight always locked the door when she got out of the house and Timber couldn't unlock it because Twilight had the key. "Honey, I'm home," Twilight said. "Can you help me get the groceries out of the car?" There was no response. "Timber, did you hear me," Twilight said as she searched the house for him. "You can't keep sitting on your lazy ass all the time. You need to do some work too." As Twilight was searching near the hallway, she heard a noise coming from the master bedroom. As she got closer to the door, she heard a faint moaning coming from inside. "Timber, are you in there," Twilight said. Still no response. Twilight then opened the door, but when she did, it made her body freeze in place. She saw Timber in bed kissing another woman, who was the famous singer, Adagio Dazzle. The sound of the door opening startled Timber, only for him to see his girlfriend outside. "Hello Timber...can you please tell me who is in the bed with you," Twilight asked, as her fists trembled with rage. "Twilight, this isn't what you think it is," Timber pleaded. "Oh, THEN WHAT IS THIS THEN," Twilight roared. "God, I SHOULD'VE KNOWN THAT YOU WOULD DO THIS TO ME!" "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS...AND ON CHRISTMAS EVE OF ALL DAYS," Twilight roared. "HERE I AM, WORKING MY ASS OFF ALL DAY, GETTING GROCERIES FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER, GETTING STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR, 2 HOURS BY THE WAY, AND THIS IS WHAT I COME HOME TO, YOU WITH ANOTHER GIRL. HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN OCCURRING?" "What the hell," Adagio said in surprise. "Timber, you said you were single." "Dagi please, I can explain," Timber tried to persuade Adagio. "Wow, you are without a doubt the biggest scumbag I have ever seen," Adagio roared. "Oh, go get a life you lying punk!:" Adagio then leaves the house. "Twi, please I didn't," Timber said before Twilight interrupted him. "ANSWER MY FUCKING QUESTION, DAMMIT," Twilight roared. "Ok, we've been with each other for 3 months," Timber finally confessed. "3 months...3 months Timber...God, I was such a fool," Twilight said as she started to cry. "Hey I can't help it if she's prettier and richer than you," Timber said, which only succeeded in making Twilight even angry. Twilight walked up to Timber and slapped him across the face. "YOU LAZY ASS-HOLE. ENJOY YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND YOU GET NOW, YOU LOSER!" Twilight screamed. "GET OUT, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN OR I'LL CALL THE POLICE ON YOU OR WORSE MY DAD!" "GOD DAMMIT," Timber roared as he then bolted out of the house, as Timber knew her father can get scary when he got angry. Twilight could only watch as he ran off. Twilight then went to the phone and called her mom. "Hello, this is Twilight Velvet, how can I..." Velvet stopped when she heard her daughter crying on the other end. "Twilight, what's wrong, why are you crying?" "Twilight, please, tell me what happened," Velvet said. "Timber cheated on me with that singer, "Adagio Dazzle," Twilight said, as Adagio's name was spat with venom. "HE FUCKING WHAT," Velvet screamed, alerting her husband. "I knew that guy was nothing but trouble!" "Honey, what happened," Nightlight said as he raced into the room. "Twilight called, she said that she caught Timber cheating on her," Velvet said, enraged. "What," Nightlight said in shock. "Honey, let me talk to her." "Twilight, why would Timber do this, he looked like a good hard-working man," Nightlight said. "No, it was all a lie," Twilight said. "I HAD TO DO EVERYTHING, ALL HE EVER DID WAS SIT ON HIS LAZY ASS EATING JUNK FOOD AND GETTING DRUNK! HERE I AM, WORKING MY ASS OFF ALL DAY, GETTING GROCERIES FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER, GETTING STUCK IN TRAFFIC FOR, 2 HOURS BY THE WAY, AND FOR WHAT, FOR A MAN THAT DOESN'T APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK I DO!" "Dad, I just need some time alone, just don't come over," Twilight said. "But Twi, I," Nightlight said before Twilight tearfully said, "JUST DON'T COME OVER, I NEED SOME TIME ALONE, OK, BYE!" Twilight said before hanging up. Twilight then went to her wine cellar and got a bottle of whiskey and sat on the table she started jugging the bottle as continued crying. Soon, Twilight was Tipsy and was in a crying stupor. "St-Stupid T-Timber, he never love little ol me," Twilight angrily slurred as she took another drink. "There is-is no fuckin Christmas, Timber fuckin ruined it. Twilight thought her life couldn't get any crappier well, she'd be surprised by what would happen later on tonight. "HEY, BARKEEP WHEN YOU GONNA GET MY FUCKIN DRINK," A man roared from across the bar, scaring a couple away. "ALASTOR, WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, SCARING OFF SOME WELL-PAYING CUSTOMERS, DIDN'T I TELL YOU THAT YOU COULDN'T DRINK HERE ANYMORE," Sunset said Sunset Shimmer was known by locals of the town as a kind and friendly person, but her temper can get explosive if you say the wrong thing. "BITCH, I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! I'VE BEEN WAITIN' FOR 10 MINUTES, I WANT MY FUCKIN DRINK RIGHT NOW!" Alastor said. "YOU KNOW WHAT, THAT'S IT, GET OUT, YOU'RE NO LONGER WELCOME IN THIS BAR!" Sunset angrily roared. "NOW, GET OUT BEFORE I CALL SECURITY!" Just as Alastor was about to come out, Sunset then notices someone at the entrance. It was a girl who looked like she had a rough day, as she was wobbling around as she moved and as she drunkenly mumbled to herself. "Don't worry Aria, I'll check it out," Sunset said to Aria, one of the other bartenders. Sunset then went outside in the snow to talk to the drunk girl. "Hey Miss, it's really cold out here, you wanna come inside," Sunset said. "The girl turned to face her, and with a stupefied grin, she said. "Y-Y-You look so *hic* cute, I wanna come in so we can flirt together." Sunset then helped Twilight into the bar and sat her in one of the booths. "Hey, I b-bet we could make a *hic* great couple t-together, n-not like my two-timing boyfriend," Twilight slurred. "But who cares about him." Sunset was busy getting Twilight a glass of water when she didn't see that Alastor was approaching Twilight, and carrying her over to a nearby closet. "Hey, y-you look like a nice hunk of a man, you s-s-single," Twilight slurred. "Hey, let me show you something," Alastor said as he moved Twilight's head to expose her neck. Then, Alastor bared his fangs and then bit into Twilight's neck, Twilight tried to scream, but Alastor kept her mouth shut by covering it with his hand. As time went on, Twilight's struggles became feeble, and almost stopped completely. Alastor then let go of her neck after getting his fill of blood. Alastor then proceeded to cut his arm with a knife, and then after forcing Twilight's mouth open, forced her to drink a small sample of his blood. "Ha ha ha, it's only a matter of time, little one, soon, you'll be all mine," Alastor said. Suddenly, the closet door burst open as Sunset and two Gangrel Vampires entered the room. Sunset then threw a stake into Alaster's chest, paralyzing him. "Oh Alastor, you're in big trouble now," Sunset said. "Fluttershy, Zephire Breeze, get the girl and return to the city, once you put her in my quarters, inform the council about our illegal embracer," Sunset said as the two Gangrels picked up Alastor and Twilight. They then hovered through the air to fly toward the Vampire Capital. Twilight couldn't remember a thing since that night at the bar, all she could see were black and red flashes of colors all dancing around in her head. But what Twilight didn't know was that her body was starting to change. Her usual purple skin was starting to turn into a palish grey, her violet eyes were turned crimson red, and she was starting to grow not only fangs but curved incisors, like a vampire bat. Her hair was also changing from purple with a pink stripe to black with a blood-red stripe. Then Twilight started hearing voices in her head screaming at her to drink the human essence, Twilight screamed at the voices, begging them to leave her alone, but the dark shadows would not relent. As the shadows continued, Twilight was then swallowed whole by a giant red-eyed bat. Twilight screamed as she woke up from her torment. To her, those 5 minutes of mental torture felt like an eternity. She then saw that she wasn't in the bar, but inside a large room that looked like some kind of living quarters in an old castle. "Ohh, my head, what happened to me, where am I?" Twilight said as she looked in the mirror and saw her new form. She also saw that she wasn't wearing her normal clothes and instead she was wearing what she thought of as an undone straight-jacket. Suddenly, Twilight felt a sharp pain in her stomach, as if her stomach was on fire. "AAAAAGGGGHHH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME, THE PAIN, IT'S SO EXCRUCIATING, SOMEONE HELP ME!" Twilight screamed as she was in agonizing pain. "SOMEONE PLEASE, MAKE THE PAIN GO AWAY!" Suddenly, the door to her room opened up, revealing a girl with red and gold hair, who was carrying a bottle with red liquid in it. As soon as Twilight saw the bottle, her stomach started to rumble, and she was starting to drool. The girl then walked up to Twilight and handed her the bottle. "Go on, drink up, you need to get your strength back," The girl said. Twilight then greedily put the bottle into her mouth, allowing the red liquid to go into her body, feeling the pain in her stomach finally subside. After the bottle was finally empty, Twilight used her tongue to lick any drops that were coming out of her mouth. "What, What's happening to me," Twilight asked. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions to ask, but what I can tell you is that you are not human anymore, so brace yourself for what you are about to hear," Sunset said. "You...are a vampire now, and this is your new home now," Sunset said as she escorted Twilight to the Council meeting room. > Chapter 1: The Curse of Malkavian Madness > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight was eagerly waiting in the waiting room of the councilor's chamber. Twilight expected for a room linked to something as important as a council to be a little bigger. Instead, the room was small, and there wasn't a lot of comfortable areas to sit in. Suddenly, Twilight spotted a girl wearing glasses who was reading a newspaper. The girl then turned to face Twilight. "Ahh, so you're the new fledgeling Prince Blue-blood was talking about, and a Malkavian too," The girl said. "Well, this should be very interesting." "Allow me to introduce myself, my names Sugarcoat," Sugarcoat said. "I'm part of the Ventrue Clan." "Sigh, yeah, nice to meet you," Twilight said as she was playing with the sleeves of her straight jacket. Suddenly Twilight heard faint whispering in her head. "Drink the juice of the cattle," The whispery voice said. "Tear it apart with your bloody entrails." "Cattle, what Cattle," Twilight said as she felt like some kind of dark creature was clawing at her brain. Suddenly, Twilight face changed to a look of lunacy. "Oh boy, now the fun begins," Sugarcoat said as she took a sip out of a cup of blood wine. Twilight then saw a portrait of a male Vampire staring back at her. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARING AT," Twilight scowled as she walked up to the portrait. "You got a problem with me buddy." Sunset was just coming out of the councilor's quarters when she saw Twilight and Sugarcoat. "Stop staring at me," Twilight screeched. "You keep staring at me and I'll scratch your eyes out!" Sunset needed to control the situation, so she was going to use a trick she learned from a Tremere priest. Sunset walked up behind the unhinged Twilight, and when she murmured some kind of incantation, Twilight felt a wave of energy envelop her body as she then fell unconscious. "The picture's all-seeing eyes looked into my soul," Twilight murmured in her sleep. "Wow, I had no idea the Malkavian madness would kick in so quickly," Sunset said under her breath. "Are you hurt Sugarcoat?" "Nah, I'm fine," Sugarcoat said. "Gotta say though, I was pretty bored to un-death before that Malkavian came along." Sugarcoat then turned to the unconscious Twilight, "See you around, new blood." Sugarcoat said as she then left the room. When Twilight came to, she saw that she was in a completely different room than the one she was in before, it was a lot more luxurious. "So, you're finally awake, huh," Sunset said as she exited from the darkness. "Uhh, what hit me," Twilight said. "Sorry, my heads a little woozy." "Don't worry, you'll be weak for a little while, but you'll get your strength back eventually," Sunset said. "Welp, this is yet another chapter of my already crappy life," Twilight said. "My boss denied me a raise, I got stuck in severe traffic for an hour, I go home to find my ex-boyfriend cheating on me with another girl, I drink myself till I'm intoxicated, and oh yeah, I get turned into a blood drinking MONSTER!" Twilight as she slammed her fist on the floor. "Hmph, what else is new in the crappy life of Twilight Sparkle now. Twilight then looked up to see Sunset's face, and at that moment, it was almost like something inside her jogged her memory of something. "Wait a minute, you look familiar to me," Twilight said. "You're face, I remember you, you were one of my classmates back at Canterlot High. But then I heard on the news that you disappeared without a trace." Twilight knew about this, because their had been a string of murders in which, all the victims were completely drained of blood. The only thing witnesses found were reports of a creature that had the resemblance of a bat. News Outlets called this, "The Dracula Murders," due to their Vampiric nature. "Alright, I guess it's only fair if I told you what happened that night," Sunset said. "When I was alive, I used to never believe in monsters and creatures of the night, until one night, one of these monsters came for me. That night I died, but only that night, and when I awoke, my whole world had changed, all that mattered was the thirst. So my creator taught me how to feed, to hunt." "But men fought back," Sunset said. "Armed with hate and fear, they put my master down like a beast." "If it weren't for my Master, I would've died that night too," Sunset sadly said. "And the rest is history." "Hmm, I'm sorry for what happened to you." Twilight said with a look of sorrow. "Oh don't worry, I'm fine," Sunset said. "Come follow me, since you don't have a sire that's alive, Prince Blueblood has decided that I will be your teacher and mentor around our glorious society. Let me introduce you to the rest of our kindred." Sunset said as they left the room. (This will continue in Chapter 2: Meeting familiar and New Faces).
