WARNING: SERIOUS WhatTheF***-ISMS WILL OCCUR IF YOU READ THIS CHAPTER! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Luna was almost ready to set out, when the creature arose from its bed looking slightly confused as to how it had got there. It looked at Luna and suddenly remembered what had transpired, it smiled, a dark gleam in its eyes.

“You’re certainly very lucky to be alive” It commented a hint of casualness in its voice.

“Well I am” A little annoyed at the lack of gratefulness for dragging it body into bed (cause it was damn heavy). “Anyway I have been meaning to ask this for quite some time. What exactly are you?” She inquired.

The creature raised an eyebrow and stared at her remaining silent. This angered Luna even more, “What! I think I have the right to know since you…ah…you know KILLED ME!” she said staring right into its blood red eyes, challenging it.

“Very well if you must know, I’m a human.” It said clearly not intending to disclose anything further.

“A what? What the hay is a human?” Luna said deciding to push the creature for more information. Her demeanor became somewhat agitated as she threw her caution to the wind even though she knew the risks of the creature becoming unstable were great.

“So you really want to know everything about me then” it said accentuating the word everything as if to imply that it was something of a secret.

“YES OF COURSE I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING!” Luna screeched at the inferior creature in front of her. She felt a rush of excitement roll through her body at the power in her voice as she said that.

‘She is almost ready. She will be ready for phase two very soon’ Syren thought to himself a dark feeling of satisfaction radiated through him. He turned back to matters at hand and now thought she was far enough gone for him to be able to tell her a little about himself without reversing her state.

Luna was now positively seething with rage, her whole body was shaking and her vision had a red tint to it. “TELL ME! NOW!” she barely managed to choke out. Her teeth were clenched, her muscles tensed poised and ready to spring into action.

“Okay then. Ask me whatever you want” the creature responded calmly. To Luna’s horror a feeling of pleasure washed over her as she thought about how easy it would have been to hurt the creature, to make it suffer for deifying her.

“Alright, I guess I’ll start with this. What is your name?” Luna asked.

“Syren” The creature responded quietly.

“Syren huh, never would have guessed that. Alright next question, are you a mare or stallion?” She queried again. Luna knew these were trivial questions, but she felt the need to ask them anyway.

“Well I’m technically a man but to you ponies I guess I’m a stallion” Syren answered smiling to himself. His plan was working perfectly, she was falling faster and faster and she couldn’t even see it.

“And where did you c….” Luna began when Syren interrupted, pre-empting what she was about to say.

“…Come from?” he finished for her. “That is a story for another time perhaps” he sighed. “I think it is time for you to sleep now. You will need your strength to…” he said pausing to look at Luna who was just about ready to tear his head off for interrupting her, the rage was so apparent in her form that two long canines had slipped from her upper lip and her eyes began to glow red.

‘Okay, phase two is clearly starting, Physical manifestation. Everything is fine, except, for the fangs, those are new’ thought Syren, the red eyes and inherent bloodlust he had anticipated, but the fangs were new to him, perhaps the transformation affects ponies differently. Not that he was complaining as it rather intrigued him. He had never tried to perform the ritual on a pony before. Syren may have just created something unique. He made a mental note to study Luna before he set her loose.

Luna was almost completely overcome with bloodlust, just thinking about what she would do if he didn’t stop interrupting her, made her shiver in dark anticipation. She licked her lips waiting for the right opportunity to strike, but stopped when she felt them. Those long needle-like protrusions, jutting from her upper jaw.

‘What the!’ she thought in confusion. ‘I’m sure those weren’t there before. What has he done to me?’ looking directly at his cold red eyes. A smile had crept onto his face but it wasn’t the normal menacing smile he usually wore. He was smiling warmly as though she had intrigued him (and not the predatory side of him).

Luna was about to inquire as to why he seemed so different when she felt a sharp pain explode inside her head. She found herself falling into the familiar black abyss that was unconsciousness.

***

No sooner had Luna fell unconscious, when she was suddenly standing all alone in a room full of mirrors covering every direction, with no reflection in any of them.

“Hello…” She called out nervously “…is anypony there?”

“Of course” replied a voice behind her making her jump and spin around, but there was nothing there, just the empty mirrors.

“Over here” the voice said again sending a chill down Luna’s spine. Slowly turning again, Luna found herself face to face with a mirror image of herself.

“Who are you?” Luna demanded.

“What a silly question. You know very well who I am, but I shall indulge you never the less.” The mirror Luna responded. “I’m the part of you that until recently you never knew existed; I’m the part of you that loves to make others suffer…” Mirror Luna said her tone increasing with excitement as she continued “… I’m the part of you who loves it when somepony hurts you; I’m the part of you who loves to punish and I’m now the part of you who loves to kill” she finished panting with excitement.

Luna gasped as the mirror Luna’s face changed and distorted into something Luna could barely comprehend. Mirror Luna’s eyes started to glow red and two long canine teeth slid out from her upper jaw. She let out at demonic hiss and started to smile when she saw how terrified the real Luna was.

“It’s okay…” crooned mirror Luna softly “…You have nothing to fear anymore; you are strong; you are beautiful but most importantly you are powerful.” She finished and to Luna’s surprise stepped out of the mirror and walked over to her.

Luna cringed when the copy touched her screwing her eyes shut. Mirror Luna began to stroke her mane softly whispering to her “You can have all this power and beauty…” she said cupping Luna’s chin with her hoof, forcing her to look into her eyes. “… All you need do… is accept me” she said offering a warm but somehow dark smile.

It was true that this copy of Luna was extremely beautiful and powerful. Luna felt a desire stir deep within her. She wanted this more than anything, but knew she would lose something dear to her if she accepted. Even though she knew the price, she accepted.

“Alright, I accept you” she said staring directly into mirror Luna’s eyes, which were full of glee as she danced around like a school filly.

“Excellent! There is, however, one final thing you must do before this power is yours” her eyes suddenly became deadly serious.

“What?” Luna said warily.

“Drink! And don’t …ever …STOP!” was all the copy said before she lunged at Luna, pinning her down.

Mirror Luna’s hooves were like vices, holding the real Luna still as she began to lick a line from her ear down to her neck. There was a sharp pain in Luna’s neck causing her to gasp softly as her copy bit into her with those razor sharp teeth. Luna felt woozy. A warm sensation was rolling down her neck as she began to feel mirror Luna suck and lick at her neck. Suddenly mirror Luna raised her head so that she could show Luna what she had done.

Luna turned her head to face the mirror and gazed silently, taking in everything. Her fur was stained crimson around the point where her copy had bitten her. ‘Blood’ she thought. There was blood flowing freely from two holes in her neck. It was gathering in a pool around her and instead of being terrified she relaxed, as she watched the blood flow down her neck in lines. It was mesmerizing.

Luna turned to face her copy smiling at her. This delighted her copy and she licked her lips which were stained with Luna’s blood. She then returned her head to Luna’s neck and began drinking faster and more deeply than before, the gentle sips turned into long gulps. Luna felt herself slipping away, but just before she did she heard a voice in her head scream out “NOOOOO!” as she slipped into darkness yet again.

***

Luna’s eyes snapped open. She didn’t feel it for the first few seconds but when it hit her, it hit her hard. She was unbelievably thirsty, like words cannot describe kind of thirsty. She clawed at her throat hoping it would stop the burning thirst, but it did nothing. It was if all the moisture in her had evaporated leaving only a dry shell behind.

Luna spotted a glass of water sitting beside her bed on a small table, she quickly levitated it using her magic and gulped down the contents just before spitting it all back out again. It tasted foul and did nothing to stop the burning thirst that had consumed her every thought.

She was about to scream when a strange new smell wafted through the air coming from the open window it smelt delicious and only served to make her thirst even more intense. She had to find whatever it was that smelt so good.

Luna jumped onto the windowsill. It was at least fifty meters from the ground, but she no longer cared about anything but the insane thirst and besides she had wings anyway. Luna jumped straight out and glided gracefully to the ground. Once there she took off in search of the owner of that delicious scent.

***

Luna flew silently, letting her nose guide her to her target. She sub-consciously noted that she was in the Everfree forest, but it mattered little. As Luna got closer and closer to her destination, the smell intensified tenfold as did her thirst. She was going mad.

At last Luna spotted (or rather smelled) her target, the cause of her intense thirst was a small mare walking through the forest toward the lights of Ponyville. Luna silently stalked the mare; her vision zeroed in on the large vain running up the mare’s neck, she could smell her tantalizing scent. Luna could even hear the blood coursing through the mare’s body. It was a sound that promised Luna relief from her maddening thirst.

Luna landed softly on the ground a few paces behind the mare, making no sound, being careful so as not to startle the pony.

She licked her lips and felt her fangs slide out. She knew what she had to do. She closed the distance between her and the mare, her mouth salivating at the meal to come…

… 2 minutes earlier …

… “Why oh why did I ever agree to this” mumbled a nervous Carrot Top. She should’ve known better than to challenge Berry Punch to a drinking game. The thing was, she was so sure she was going to win this time, what with Berry only just having woken up from passing out. But against all odds she had somehow not only out drank Carrot Top, but the rest of the bar all together. As her punishment for losing, she had to walk into the Everfree forest and get a branch from an Everfree oak as proof that she had done it.

“Phew, Almost home” Carrot Top sighed, filled with relief. A snap behind her made Carrot Top whirl around and almost trip over herself.

“A…A…Anypony o…out t…t…there” She said trying hard not to break down and cry. There was only a brief moment of silence before she heard another snap, closer this time. She walked backward slowly until she bumped into a tree. Snap! Carrot Top screamed, but a hoof clamped her mouth shut and pushed her over pinning her to the ground. She squirmed to try and see who was holding her, but it was too dark to make anything out except two glowing red eyes.

Just then the moon shot out from behind the clouds illuminating the area and her assailant. Carrot Top was shocked, for there in front of her stood the supposedly dead Princess Luna.

“Princess L…Luna?” she managed to stammer as the Princess slowly removed the hoof from her mouth. The Princess made no sound as she leant in closer to Carrot Top planting a kiss on the stunned mare’s mouth. Carrot Top could only stare as the Princess broke contact, her saliva sticking to Carrot Top’s lips.

Carrot Top began to speak but stopped when she noticed the Princesses fangs. ‘Why does she have fangs?’ she thought. Even though she had never seen the princess up close, Carrot was ninety nine percent sure they weren’t supposed to be there.

“Princess Luna, your majesty, why do you have fa….” Carrot began but was silenced with another kiss. This one was different, full of longing and desperate need.

Carrot Top felt the Princess’s fangs against her lips. She quickly ran her tongue over them; they were quite long and sharp; surprisingly smooth. She then ran her tongue along the point and winced when she felt the tips cut her tongue, bleeding into the Princess mouth.

Carrot Top felt Princess Luna suck on her tongue gently drawing the blood from her mouth. To her surprise Princess Luna suddenly broke the kiss and slid her lips down to rest on Carrot Top’s neck.

“Oh” she cried out in surprise as she felt a sharp pain, like getting a shot, come from her neck. Next she could feel the Princess sucking at her neck, softly a first but gradually getting harder and harder. She felt woozy as her eyelids became heavy and drooped.

Luna had never felt anything more heavenly then now, this mare’s blood sliding down her throat satisfying the horrible thirst. The blood itself was the sweetest thing Luna had ever tasted, It was like cotton candy coated in golden syrup and that was even understating how good it really was, as no words could describe the magnificent taste of this mare’s blood.

Luna could feel the mare’s heart slowing. That sound alone would have excited her enough to never want to stop, but couple that with the taste of the blood and the warmth of the mare’s body and Luna was in absolute ecstasy.

Luna felt the mare’s heart shudder and stop, she was dead. Waves of euphoria washed over Luna as she removed her head from the mare’s neck. Licking her lips, Luna felt her fangs retract into her jaw and reveled in the fact that the thirst was now satisfied, however, a dull burn remained, reminding her that it was always there and never truly went away.

She looked down at the mare on the ground; she lay motionless as though she were asleep, eyes closed and a ghost of a smile etched on her face.

“Thank you” Luna said gently kissing the mare on the lips before turning and taking flight. There were many questions she had, and she knew just who to ask…

…Syren sat quietly in a tree, thinking deeply to himself. After witnessing the events first hand he realized he could change his plan to better suit these turn of events. He smiled, a deranged gleam in his eye as he said softly under his breath…

“…She’s mine now…”
