>Last night you lost Caramel, hypnotized by Twilight and dragged off.
>There is no way you can salvage the buildings for supplies anymore.
>All of them are either way barred from inside, or look like a damn trap waiting for unsuspecting p0nies or humans to step insight.
>With your group you go to Sweet Apple Acres to meet with McIntosh's. You want to talk to him about further steps and plans, the others are just happy to spend some time here, the place is beautiful after all.
>You make sure that none of your guys lets the thing with AJ slip.
“...so Rose already sent several letters to the princess, the headquarter of the guards and even the Wonderbolts, I don't think we can expect any official help. Nightmare Moon returned, she started this and then went on a hunt for her sister, Princess Celestia. I think the officials would rather help Twilight, right now ,than us.”
>The big red stallion ponders, after a while he answers with his trademark response.
>“Eeeyup.” it's a sad eeeyup though.
“When Celestia is gone, there is nop0ny left to rise the sun. We need to find a way out of this misery, I don't want to think about what will happen to us when the time comes. After all Nightmare Moon IS the righteous ruler of Equestria when Celestia is gone.”
>You talk with him for a long time about how you can save your asses, the only result the two of you are able to find is the one that you'd have to leave Equestria in order to avoid this madness. Something none of the p0nies would want to do, not even if it meant fighting these bloodsuckers for the rest of their lives.
>Eventually it is time to go to your own hideout again. Real progress was not made.
>But your visit to Sweet Apple Acres was good for your moral and diet.
>With bellies and baskets full of apples you and your fellow survivors head back, Rarity complains about her share of apples “Oh, it's so heavy. If only there were a big and handsome stallion around to help a damsel in distress.”
>You sigh.
>She wants you to carry her baskets...
>You reach out, already certain of her success she tanks you.
>”Oh, you are such a gentlecolt, Anon. Wh-”
>You grab a single apple from her basket and take a bite, then nod to her confident.
“Better?”
>For a moment she glares at you, then proceeds to lift her load up with her magic and dumps it on you.
“Hey!”
>”Yes, much better.” she comments witty and runs off to the house.
>Fuck.
>You make a mental note to pay her back, she just started a war she can't win...
>Rose walks up to you as you forge evil plans “Hey Anon, I was thinking and...with the supply of Sweet Apple Acres we can last easily until-” you complete her sentence.
“Until the end of days. Literally. I know. I just hope that we will find a way out of this before this happens.”
>You give Rose a smile, trying to give her hope you can't find for yourself.
“I'm sure we will.”
>With these apples alone your group can last two weeks minimum, and you can get more every day.
>That is...as long as there are days...
>You never believed that Celestia was responsible for raising the sun, pfth, a ridiculous thought. A sun, a star.
>But now you start to doubt even that...
>The apples are stored away safely and soon it gets dark.
>You are damn tired, the last few nights you barely slept and were busy all day long.
>As you tuck yourself in on your couch, Derpy comes to see you “Anon, could you please...sleep with us?” if the circumstances weren't so serious and Derpy wouldn't be looking like a scared cat you would tease her for those implications into another plane of existence.
>But the situation IS serious.
>Guess she is simply afraid.
“I don't really mind, but what about the others?”
>Her ears lay flat and she stares at you with her big eyes...well, not exactly. One eye looks straight past you and the other one somewhere on the floor “They're okay with it.” she says humble.
>No second invitation needed.
>The gray mare happily trots into your bedroom and proclaims “Okay, he said yes.”
>You follow her with your already warmed up blanket, the room is practically filled with pillows and blankets. For every mare there are like four sets of sleep utensils.
>Hehe...somehow this situation feels like a dream come true...
>The four mares are lying in a pit, it kind of reminds you of a birds nest made of pillows and blankets. They sure know the meaning of the word 'comfortable'.
>You close the door and crawl up to a space that is fit for you when Rarity speaks up “Do you hear me, Anonymous?”
“What?”
>”You have to follow some rules if you want to sleep here with us.”
“Eh, yeah, sure. Hit me.”
>You get into your spot for the night, at the head of your bed. The mares are aligned one after another lengthways, a little closer and they could use you as a footstool.
>You just hope that they don't start kicking in their dreams...
>Rarity explains some rules while she and the others are making themselves as comfortable as possible.
>“First of all, if any of us is getting fondled by you secretly,” she points to the door “Couch.”
>What?!
>”If you get up in the middle of the night and we wake up because all the warm air escapes from under the blanket...couch.”
>This is a little extreme, no?
>”A pillow fight begins and you win...couch.”
>The others start giggling.
>Now you're certain she is just making fun of you.
>“When one of us wakes up and asks you to get a glass of water for her, you do it.”
>Like hell.
>“If one of us is cuddling with you accidentally in her sleep you may not resist, because that's what girls do in their sleep, okay?”
>You get the feeling that she is only referring to herself this time.
>“That's all for now, I may add more later but it is already late and I need my beauty sleep. Good night all of you.”
“Wait, can you repeat the middle part again, I was too busy choosing which one of you to fondle first.”
>Redheart blows out the torchbug lamp so you don't see Rarity's glare and she is spared from your cheesy grin. You can feel one of them kicking you lightly. Guess who?
>After that you are sleeping in no time.
>The best sleep you had since everything went to hell...or rather hell came to you.
>You are so comfy that you don't even resist when Rarity acts miserably asleep while cuddling up to you, and to be honest, you like it a little too.
>When you wake up it is still dark as night, then you notice that it still IS in the middle of it. You can barely keep your eyes open but that is not your goal anyway.
>The door to the living room stands open just a crack and you can hear voices.
>The attempt to get out of bed is quickly halted by your laziness, you are just too tired for this shit right now.
>All you manage do is to listen a little.
>After you successfully shifted so that Rarity doesn't breath into your ear anymore you start to understand what's going on. It sounds like Nurse Redheart is talking with somep0ny.
>”Are you going to conquer the world? You can't survive if there are only vamp0nies left.”
>Twilight's voice answers “Of course not, only p0nyville will become a permanent stronghold for us. Nightmare Moon will later forbid the creation of new vamp0nies to further prevent overpopulation, I write her reports regularly and she is very pleased with my progress.”
>”Why are you doing this? Don't you understand that we don't want to become one of you?” Redheart sounds desperate.
>”Why don't you ask Nurse Sweetheart?”
>”Hello Redheart, I've...missed you.” this new one sounds sincere in the meaning of her words.
>”I've missed you too, are you...really still yourself?”
>”Yes...”
>It quickly deteriorates into gossip, they share a few lighthearted laughs until Twilight speaks up again “See? Everything is normal, it is just a small change. All your other friends are here, I promise it won't hurt.”
>You fight with exhaustion as they continue to talk, there are a lot of voices, all talking happily with Redheart.
>Then Redheart's voice says “Okay.” after a long pause and only hoofsteps that become more and more distant can be heard until even those vanish.
>At the realization of what just happened you rip your eyes open and throw the p0nies ungently off of you that were secretly cuddling with you. They scream in shock as you run to the entrance.
>The door stands open wide, to your surprise it isn't dark at all. The sun shines partially through your door and chirping birds can be heard loud and clear.
>Was it just a bad dream?!
>As you try to piece the events together, Rarity angrily stomps out of the bedroom “Didn't I make myself clear yesterday?! Anon? Are you listening?! Hmpf!, I'm scolding you, don't you dare ignore me!”
>Looking around the place you turn to Rarity and tell her to be quiet casually.
“Shut up for a moment, will you?”
>The marshmallow pone practically fumes in anger “How DARE you! You can be lucky if I let you sleep inside the house AT ALL!” her eyes narrow and she pouts, thinking that she actually has your attention.
>You go past the angry marshmallow, back into your bedroom to look for the mares, Rose is already trying to go back to sleep again and Derpy's butt is sticking out from in between some pillows where you assume the rest of her is buried.
>You turn to Rarity once more.
“Rarity, where is Redheart? Where is she?!”
>She blinks a few times in confusion “Isn't she...” a look into the bedroom later and worries start surfacing on her face as she slowly gets it.
“Damnit!”
>The two of you start searching the house, but there aren't exactly many places to hide.
>You ignore everything and just run outside. The warm sun would feel great on your skin as you are still in your boxers, but your mind is too focused on finding Redheart.
>You run and search desperately.
>She isn't on the Town Square, not at Sweet Apple Acres with Big McIntosh's group, not by the lake and not anywhere else. Then you decide to search the buildings.
>Without much of a plan you go the the next house and try to open the door – locked.
>Next door – locked too.
>Door number three to twenty – all locked.
>Wait, Twilight said that the p0nies that aren't yet transformed are rounded up in the hospital's cellar. She must be there!
>To the hospital it is then, under no circumstances you want to lose Redheart...you owe her for saving Rarity.
>You arrive in front of the hospital and need a minute to catch your breath, the window you opened is closed now, otherwise there is nothing different than last time.
>This place still creeps you the fuck out.
>Maybe you can just take a peek inside? Just real quick? They are supposed to be sleeping during the day, right?
>You approach the automatic glass doors cautiously and they slither open like last time. The sun shines directly through the doors so you are still safe in theory, but two steps further and the death-zone begins.
>When the doors have closed again you wait a few minutes and prick up your ears, listening for any bloodsuckers.
>Can't hear a thing.
>This is such a bad idea, you just know it...
>Then you step into the dark, it isn't as oppressing as last time but you still prefer a little light in your darkness.
>After just the first turn you hear some rattling in a room ahead, followed by a familiar voice “Damn it.”
>Was that...Dash?
>For a moment you want to call out for her, greet her...maybe a little roughhousing but then you recall how the two of you parted. She must be one of them...
>You dive into cover behind a trolly just as evil Rainbow Dash emerges from the room you suspected her in.
>If you are quiet, maybe she won't notice you. That way you could sneak to Redheart, rescue her bare-chested and carry her out of here on one arm while fighting off the vamp0nies with the other.
>The day would be saved.
>Right.
>Maybe you can whip Nightmare Moon's flank later today after you created the cure for cancer and AIDS simultaneously while making all the mares in the country orgasm through your sheer presence.
>Vampow Dash just stands there in front of the room she came out of.
>If she actually finds you, you are dead.
>And not in the nice 'getting a little scolded dead' but in really dead.
>What is she doing there standing around like a bloody idiot?!
>Shit, this was such a stupid idea, why can't you think things through beforehand?!
>Fuckfuckfuckfuck-
>”I can hear your heart beating.” Rainbow announces in a creepy voice.
>Your sphincter could crush diamonds right now, a shiver runs down your spine and a cold sweat breaks out on your forehead.
>Jimmies are rustling at 100% efficiency.
>”It just started beating a lot faster when I said that. A lot.”
>You take a deep breath and get out of your petty hiding place. The cyan neighsferatu looks relaxed, not a creepy lunatic face like Twilight, just her usual Dash face when she wants something from you, but doesn't want to let you know.
“Look,uh,ImusthavegottenlostsoI'lljusttakemyleaveagainsoyoucanrestalittle-
>She casually trots up to you while you retreat until you hit a wall.
>”Anon, why are you so afraid of me?” she asks puzzled.
“I-I-I'm not afraid, w-what makes you think such nonsense? I c-can't be afraid, it's not in my emotional range...”
>She flutters up to your eyelevel “Your panicked reactions can hardly be mistaken, not even by me, let alone that your heart is beating like you just finished the running of the leaves all by yourself.”
“That's normal, I...just did that.”
>She rolls her eyes “Soooo, usually I would take you to Twilight now but she seems to be having a lot of fun trying to get you and the others out of your house. So I can make you a deal.”
>You gulp.
“Okay? I'm...interested.”
>”Anon, would you PLEASE calm down first. It hurts my eyes to see you almost peeing your pants!”
>...you stare at her for a moment before it breaks out of you like a chestburster.
“Fuck, you're a goddamn undead monster that is designed to be a killing machine. What am I supposed to do? Jump around while singing and throwing glitter all around me?!”
>”See? That's better.”
“Great, then I'll be on my way.”
>You attempt to get away but Dash pushes you back against the wall, holding you by the shoulders “Not so fast, I still have to do what Twilight said.”
“What? What are you saying? You make it sound like you're her toy soldier.”
>”Becoming a vamp0ny...makes you see the things in a different light, and I'm only following her advice, not her orders.”
“Fine, what do you want?”
>She doesn't say a word, only looks at you with an innocent face.
>When her eyes dart towards your neck for a split-second it makes click.
“No. No, No, Nonononononono. No.”
>”Anon, i-”
“No No No No No.”
>”It's not for me! I promise to make sure she doesn't drink too much, it would really help.”
>You look at her stern, telling her 'No' with your eyes.
>”Please...for a friend? She really needs some fresh blood since she refuses to drink even from blood packs.” her begging tone is starting to get to you.
>Rainbow Dash begging you to help a friend selflessly...no, EVIL Rainbow Dash begging you...
“Well...”
>And then she uses those goddamn puppy eyes, fcuk, you stood no chance to begin with.
“Hmpf, alright. But you better keep your word!”
>Hopefully this won't backfire.
>You sit in a room and wait for the mystery friend Rainbow mentioned, you cross your arms and become annoyed with your own stupidity.
>You should just bail, just open the window and climb out, why did you agree to this again?!
>Rainbow arrives before your doubts can get the better of you, and with her she brings a vamp0ny with a light grayish golden coat and a light pink colored mane.
>You figured as much.
>As Rainbow brings her before you, you see that she doesn't look very healthy. She has bags under her eyes, hollow cheeks and you can see the outline of her ribs, the feathers of her wings are in disorder and her eyes seem milky. On top of that she seems to be a little dazed.
>”Fluttershy, it's okay, he agreed, you can ask him. He's totally content with it.” Rainbow talks to her like she is a senile old fart who lost her deaf-aid.
>”Nooo, blood is scary. I don't wanna hurt anyp0ny.” she also talks funny.
>”Twilight said that there can be unwanted mutations if you don't drink!” Rainbow turns to you “Can we make this quick please? I can't stand seeing her like this.”
>You give her a nod, you feel the same about her now that you see the sorry state she's in...maybe they're not all bad.
>As soon as you give her your okay, Fluttershy gets pushed into you but she still refuses to drink. You take her on your lap and stroke her mane to calm her down.
“Fluttershy, please, it's okay. There's no reason to be afraid.”
>”No! Anon, is that you? Are you okay? I don't want to hurt you either!”
“Yes, it's me. It doesn't hurt me, I'm big and tough. Unhurtable.”
>Rainbow pushes her head into your neck, but all she does is to deliver a few kisses, then limply rests her head on your shoulder.
>”I can't believe you Flutters, didn't you cut him with a knife once to see if that was his fetish?!”
>”Yes, but that was for love. Anon made himself clear that he doesn't like p0nies that way. I could never hurt him again like that.”
>You're about to do the biggest mistake of your life, you know it, yet you still do it.
>It seems necessary.
>You hate yourself already.
“What if I told you, that getting bitten by vamp0nies is my secret fetish?”
>Suddenly she starts struggling in your lap, like there is an earthquake only she can feel.
>You expected her to be more gentle about it, maybe a cute comment like 'For Love' before she gently nibbles on you a little, but her arms close around your neck fast and she tilts her head immediately.
>You flex the muscles in your neck as her teeth sink down into your flesh without warning.
>She starts sucking on the wounds she inflicted, but bites down a second time when they are not deep enough.
>You trust Rainbow Dash fully with her promise, so you give yourself in to the shy p0ne, even moving your head a little to the side to give her  better access.
>You feel lightheaded quickly as she drains blood that was destined for your think-muscle, then you feel a relaxation flow through your body like you've never felt before.
>She moans into your neck as you go completely limp in your chair, feeling the red liquid squirt into her in sync with the rhythm of your heartbeat.
>She is messy, rough and eager for more. Your eyelids become heavy and a nap seems like a very good idea.
>”Okay that's enough Fluttershy, I promised him not to let you drink too much. FLUTTERSHY!”
>With a loud 'shlop' her lips part from your neck, the relaxed feeling vanishes abruptly and you can move again. She keeps her arms locked around you though, something heavy starts pressing down on your chest.
>It makes breathing hard and kinda hurts the greater it becomes.
>You shake your head free of the drowsiness, looking around like you just woke up from a good night's slumber.
>Fluttershy is staring at you with a wild, predatory look, pupils formed into thin slits and her chin is drenched in blood below a determined frown. She periodically makes biting motions, exactly at the same time when the pressure on your chest becomes painfully greater.
>Then you notice Rainbow at your side, like an reversed vice she keeps Fluttershy apart from you with her arms, causing the pressure on your chest.
>”F-Fluttershy, calm down!” the rainbow vamp0ny hisses through gritted teeth “T-That's enough!”
>You bring your own hands down on her shoulders and suddenly she snaps out of it.
>The shy bloodsucker looks around with a dumbfound look on her face, like someone just slapped her across it, her pointed tongue extends down her chin and licks some of the blood.
>Pointed tongue?
>She jumps up, covers her face with her hooves and flutters out of the room while shrieking “DON'T LOOK AT ME! I'M A MONSTER!”
>Rainbow quickly takes her place and attempts to get to your neck when you obstruct her with both your forearms.
“What do you think you're doing?”
>”I only want to lick the rest, you're still bleeding and Twilight said there's something in my saliva that makes the wound heal better.”
>It takes you only a second to think it over before you give her free access. After all she kept her word before, why lie now?
>While Vampdash licks around on your neck extensively you talk to her for a bit.
“That was more than 'a little'.”
>”No *slurp* way.”
“It felt kinda...”
>”Good? Should've seen *slurp* Nurse Redheart last night, Twilight got so good at it already *slurp* she had an orgasm!”
“An orgasm?! How is that possible?!”
>”Dunno. Better ask Twilight that. *slurp*”
“Now that you mention her...I actually came here to rescue Redheart.”
>”Haha, forget it. She doesn't want to get rescued, just like anyp0ny else. Why were you thinking that vamp0nies are bad to begin with?! I don't get it.*slurp*”
“That's...a good question. Maybe because Twilight is terrorizing me and the others that are with me?”
>”Oh, yeah, that. She wants to get this whole 'transforming' thing over as quick as possible, something about making a good impression on Nightmare Moon. *slurp* There, the bleeding stopped.”
>Rainbow leans back to look at you seriously.
“I dunno, she sounded pretty serious when she threatened me in the hospital. And she seems generally pretty aggressive towards me.”
>Rainbow smacks a hoof in her face “Are you really that dumb?!”
>You glare at her.
>”Anon, you burned her pretty bad, she almost died. Of course she is angry! But I'm getting ahead of myself, you should talk to her about this, not me.”
“Hmm, guess that's true.”
>”Now you better go, before somep0ny with less self-control finds you.”
>You nod to her and get up, almost blacking out in the process.
“Damn. That WAS more than a little.”
>You go into the corridor and Rainbow follows “You know...it DOES feel good for the both of you. It's just that it was Fluttershy's first time.” she winks at you and dashes into the darkness.
>Feeling a little weak in the knees from the blood loss you make yourself on the way home, Rarity must be pretty worried by now.
>Was that really the right thing to do?
