- >"WHAT?!"
- >You wriggle out from under the alicorn, and beckon her to the mirror.
- >She gives you a flat stare.
- >"Anon, you dingus. I no longer have a reflection."
- >You look into the mirror.
- >You see yourself, the bed, bookcases, and all the other stuff that's supposed to be in a bedroom.
- >But you don't see Twilight.
- >You groan as you rub your temples.
- "OKay, fine. You've had some of my blood. Can you see into my thoughts again?"
- >Grinning at her, you imagine her wearing a sexy black saddle that makes her plot look FANTASTIC.
- >She grins at you.
- >"You naughty naughty human, Anon. Yes, I can see into your mind."
- >You nod, as you approach her, and start rubbing your hands on her neck again.
- >She shakes your head at you.
- >"Honestly, why were you freaking out like that? I thought I did something to your uh... manhood?"
- >You grimace.
- "I want you to see through my eyes when I find- aha!"
- >You find the two puncture marks, and focus on them.
- >You hear Twilight cast a spell.
- >"You know, Anon, your magic resistance is a very annoying trait. We could have -much- more fun together-"
- >She casts a spell again.
- >"- if I could just seize you with my magic, and ravish you."
- >Growling, she casts it again, and you actually feel a -presence- in your mind.
- >AHA! Gosh, this is much different from reading your surface thoughts.
- >What does 'UNF' mean?
- >And... you've really thought about me like this for so long?
- >TWILIGHT AHHHH! JUST STICK TO MY EYES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
- >Sweet Celestia, are humans really that violent?!
- >Twilight, this isn't fair. Can you please stick to the urgent matter at hand?
- >Fine. But you and I are going to talk about this.
- >Whoah.
- >Are those bite-
- >Yeah, those are bite marks. And vampires, or vamponies - they're known for mental manipulation, right?
- >You feel Twilight's presence retreat from your mind, as the unicorn curls up into a fetal position on the bed.
- >"Oh no. Oh no no no no! Somepony bit me! And turned me! This isn't a spell miscast! That means that there's a full-fledged vampony out there! NEAR PONYVILLE!"
- >She leans over, and grabs your face in her forehooves.
- >"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!"
- >You nod slowly.
- "Ponyville is in danger from a powerful magical predator?"
- >She gulps, and nods.
- >"Okay. Here's what we need to do. I'm going to write a letter to the Princess. You start gathering supplies. We're going to the Everfree forest to investigate."
- >You look out the window, to look at the moon hanging in the star-lit heavens, and wince.
- "Isn't the forest more dangerous at night?"
- >Twilight sighs.
- >"Yes. But we don't have a choice. If the vampony is still there, we need to act fast."
- >You nod slowly.
- "Yeah. Okay. But there's one more thing I can do."
- >She looks at you as she floats a parchment and quill to herself.
- >"Hmm, what?"
- >You swallow nervously, and bare your neck to her again.
- "Take... take some more. If we're up against another vampire, we're gonna need-"
- >Your voice breaks, and you clear your throat.
- "- we're gonna need every advantage. You're a powerful mage, and with enough blood... y-you should be more than a match for him."
- >You walk closer to her.
- "Take enough, but leave me capable of walking and doing stuff."
- >Twilight floats the writing implements from her, and looks at you with concern.
- >"Are you sure, Anon?"
- >You nod, and give her a brave smile.
- "You'd never hurt me, Twilight. I know that. And this is the smart thing to do."
- >She pats her hoof on the bed, and you sit down next to her.
- >A pair of purple hooves encircles you, as Twilight hugs you tightly.
- "Anon... every moment I spend with you, I'm convinced more and more that you're amazing!"
- >She gives you a kiss on the cheek.
- >You grab her chin, and kiss her passionately, as she returns in.
- >She breaks the kiss too quickly, and winks at you.
- "Anon, we really need to get going."
- >She then mutters something under her breath which you can't make out due to your sub-par human hearing.
- >Confound these ponies.
- >She snickers, as she nuzzles against you.
- >"I said, that when this is all over, I'm going to rut you until you're senseless."
- >You grin and bare it.
- >Your neck, that is.
- >She gives your bruise gently, leaving a sick trail of saliva, before placing her fangs on it in a familiar gesture.
- >You close your eyes, bracing yourself.
- >Her fangs increase their pressure, as your breathing intensifies.
- >They pierce the skin, and you involuntarily twitch.
- "L-love you, Twi."
- >She doesn't respond, other than to clamp her lips on your wound, and draws deeply from you.
- >The familiar tingling sensation spreads into your arms and limbs.
- >Who knew that having things other than your penis sucked would feel so good?
- >Twilight gives a chuckle with her throat, causing an adorable gurgling sound.
- >You ruffle her mane, as her horn glows and presses your hand, to keep it there.
- >You smile warmly, and continue to stroke her mane.
- >You feel your heartbeat slow slightly, and Twilight feels that too, as she takes her mouth off your wound, and gives it a slow sensuous lick.
- >You shudder in pleasure at her rough tongue, as she takes one final swallow, and looks at you with half-lidded eyes.
- >"Hey Anon?"
- "Mmm?"
- >"You're inside me."
- >You look at her with wide eyes, as she winks at you.
- >This mare. This fucking mare.
- >UNF.
- >You kiss her, tasting the blood inside of her mouth as you engage in ferocious tongue-to-tongue combat.
- >Your erection comes back in full force, but you ignore it.
- >Twilight breaks the kiss, and playfully bats at your erection.
- >Heh. Bats.
- >Get it, because she's a vampire now?
- >Somewhere else, Echo and Midnight sneeze in unison.
- >She pokes you in the lower back with your horn, causing you to jump up.
- >Surprisingly, your head is clear and you don't feel like falling down.
- >She really got better at sucking you.
- >RD would have a field day...
- >She floats her writing utensils, as she makes a dismissive gesture in the direction of the staircase.
- >"Okay, go get our travel supplies ready. We should be ready to go in 20 minutes!"
- >You nod at her, and go downstairs.
- >There, you become a bustle of activity as you grab her saddle-bags, and your knapsack.
- >You stuff them with water flasks, maps of the surrounding areas, and various other sundries.
- >Grinning, you make space for at least three books, because you know Twilight.
- >You pause, as you see that Rarity left her Celestia necklace.
- >You nod, as you approach it, and slowly put it on your neck.
- >Going into the kitchen, you find where Spike put the wreath of garlic, and put that around your neck as well.
- >You scrunch your face as you try to remember what vampire stakes are supposed to be made from.
- >Twilight trots from upstairs, holding a rolled up parchment.
- >"Rosewood or hawthorn."
- >You wince as you look at her, and notice that she doesn't want to get too close to you.
- >As you back up, she nods at you gratefully, and levitates her saddlebags onto herself.
- >"Good thinking. You should also grab an axe from my toolshed. There should be some rosewood by the entrance to the Everfree."
- >You nod, as you heft the knapsack onto your shoulders.
- "Shall we go, then, m'lady?"
- >She gives a grin at you, but which turns into a frown.
- >"I... I can't get close to you. Maybe you c-could-"
- >You hold your hand up, silencing her.
- "Say no more."
- >You stick the medallion into your pocket, and rip off two cloves of garlic.
- "Way I see it, the whole wreath was overkill."
- >She nods as she trots closer to you, and nuzzles against your leg.
- >"You're the best, Anon."
- >You snap your fingers, and grab her small hand-mirror, and scope out the area.
- >Same as before. You see stuff, yourself, but no Twilight.
- >Grinning, you give her a thumbs up, and she beams a smile at you.
- >"Yes! You're brilliant! That way you can check if the pony in front of you is a vampony or not!"
- >You take a slight bow.
- "And to think that I used to think reading 'Dracula' was useless."
- >She gasps.
- "Anon! What a thing to say! Reading is never useless!"
- >You nod, smiling, as she goes to wake Spike up.
- >The dragon grumbles, but sends the letter off in a burst of green fire.
- >Twilight leaves him with detailed instructions of what to do in case the letter returns while you're away.
- >She opens the door and trots out.
- >You follow her, as she opens the door to her toolshed for you.
- >You see an axe gleaming in the moonlight.
- >Wincing, you grab it, and stick it in one of the loops of your knapsack.
- >It feels... off to be wielding a weapon in Equestria.
- >It's a tool, sure. But it's also a tool. And you might have to use it to behead a pony. An undead one, but a pony nonetheless.
- >You shake your head, as Twilight places a hoof over your shoulder.
- >"You okay, Anon."
- >You sigh, and nod.
- "Yeah, just being philosophical and stuff."
- >She gives you a light hug.
- >"Come on. We're just going to investigate. I'd rather not get caught out in the sun, Celestia's Benevolence or not."
- >You nod, as she trots out, and you close the door behind you.
- >Both of you race down the empty, moonlit streets of Ponyville, lit only by the light of the moon.
- >Twilight knows that humans can't run as fast, but are more durable, so she races ahead of you, and waits for you to catch up.
- >As you approach her, she runs off ahead.
- >You slow down slightly as you see her run in the moonlight.
- >Her mane glistening in the starlight, her gorgeous flank pumping those legs, and the way her eyes shimmer when she looks back at you.
- >She smiles, and starts trotting towards you.
- >Crud, right, she can still read your thoughts.
- >"Mhmm. I know I shouldn't, but when you think such nice things about me..."
- >She leans over, and plants a quick kiss on your lips.
- >"Now come on, loverboy. We've got a long night ahead of us."
- >You grin, as you break into a hustle to follow her. You notice that she's now pacing herself to you, and looks at you more often.
- >She matches her pace to your and bumps into you, causing you to almost lose your balance.
- "Whoah, what gives?"
- >She giggles.
- "I just want you to know that you look very pretty while running too. Since you can't read -my- thoughts."
- >You smile, and reach over to stroke her mane.
- >She leans into your hand, and allows you to stroke it for a moment, before jumping away from you, and biting on it lightly.
- >The fangs scratch your skin and draw a little blood.
- >Her tongue licks your hand, as she swallows reflexively.
- >You pout at her, while she grins.
- "Sorry. You smell too good."
- >You grin at her, as you pick up speed as you get into the momentum of movement.
- >In about 20 minutes you both reach the main path into the Everfree Forest.
- >Twilight slows down as she looks around.
- >You, on the other hand can barely see anything.
- >It's too dark. You're used to the lights of civilization.
- >You take off your backpack, and take out a lightbug lamp, and tap on the glass, as it starts to glow ephemerally.
- >Twilight sucks in her breath as she points a hoof at a tree.
- "There. That's hawthorn."
- >You nod as you take the lantern and the axe.
- >Spitting on your hands, you pick out a nice branch, and in a couple of good strokes, chop it off.
- >You frown, and look at Twilight.
- "You know, I just realized I didn't actually bring the knife that Cast Iron made for me. It's back home."
- >She rolls her eyes at you, as she seizes the branch with her magic.
- >Suddenly, she screeches, and the aura fades, as smoke rises from her horn.
- >"Owie-owie-owie!"
- >You walk over to her, and blow on her horn, as she looks at you with tears glistening in her eyes.
- >"S-sorry Anon. My magic right now can't interact with it."
- "Right. Anti-vampire tree, right?"
- >She nods.
- >You exhale slowly, and hug her, blowing on her horn again.
- >She smiles at you.
- >"Thanks. That feels nice."
- >You hug her tighter, as she nuzzles against you.
- >Her heart is still beating rhythmically.
- >Hopefully, that's a good sign.
- "Okay. Not a problem. It'll take a bit longer, but I think I can do this with the axe."
- >You stand up, and chop the branch into three pieces.
- >Then, very carefully, you chop into each one of the pieces vertically, and break off the remaining stuff.
- >After about 20 minutes you're drenched in sweat, but you have three stakes.
- >Well, they look more like dull wooden lancets, but you're sure they'll get the job done.
- >Twilight approaches you, and licks your neck.
- "H-hey now. What do you think you're doing, you sexy unicorn you?"
- >She gives a throaty laugh.
- >"Sorry, Anon. You just smell so good!"
- >You grin, and plant a kiss on her muzzle.
- "Which is why -I- came prepared!"
- >You open the knapsack, and take out a bloodpack that you took from the fridge, and toss it at her.
- >Her eyes light up as she catches it in her telekinetic field, and bites into it.
- >She makes slurping and moaning sounds as she drains the bloodpack, and shakes her head at you.
- >"You are far too clever, Mr. Anonymous."
- >You blush at the compliment.
- "Well, hey. Us humans had to survive somehow, right? So we became cunning tool-users."
- >Twilight snorts.
- >"Yeah, with a dash of senseless brutality. I've rooted around in your memories, remember."
- >You frown, and scratch your head.
- >"It's okay. I also saw that -you- aren't like that."
- >You smile at her, as she hugs you.
- >"Now come on. We're wasting night-time."
- >You dust off your knees, and get up, sticking the axe back in its loop, and putting on your knapsack.
- >Exchanging glances, you both walk into the gloomy shade of the Everfree Forest.
