"The blood of love."by pinkameanyChaptersSecrets revealed**Arrival****The plan****The joy of memories.****Love last's forever.**Secrets revealed"Hmm, it's getting dark. I wonder if I should go check on Vinyl," says Xavier, who had been a simple man until he found himself in Equestria one day. Nopony knew how he got there, but they accepted him into their society. He befriended Vinyl Scratch because of their taste in music. As he walks to Vinyl's door, he hears something from behind. As he turns, he catches a glimpse of what looks like two red glowing... eyes? Xavier ‒ getting nervous ‒ backs away slowly. "Run! Get away!" Vinyl screams with warning as she comes into the light, her blood-matted face glistening in the moonlight. Xavier slowly begins to step backwards. He opens his mouth to say something, but she creeps closer and closer, and he can’t bring himself to speak. "RUN!!" She hisses as she begins to gallop quicker after the cowering Xavier. He runs as fast as he can, but not fast enough. She cuts him off as he runs toward a house. He tries to stop and run the other way, but he trips and falls. "Vinyl, I don't know what’s going on. Please, stop. You’re scaring me." Xavier says with a wavering voice. "I can’t help it," Vinyl says, “I tried to avoid getting you at all cost, but the Everfree Forest is all out of animals... I need blood! I need it! I want your blood! COME HERE! GIVE ME BLOOD!" She jumps onto Xavier, throws him at the house and pins him to the wall. "I'm so sorry. I wish I didn't have to, but now we can live together... forever." She softly caresses his back as she wraps her hooves around him, but then she fiercely bites into his neck, drawing his blood. "Vi...Vinyl, why?" He blacks out. The Next Day "AHA!" Xavier exclaims, as he wakes up in a cold sweat. He walks to the bathroom and wipes his face as he laughs to himself, but as he looks into the mirror, he sees that both of his eyes are an eerie red and his canines have grown several inches longer. Xavier almost collapses from realizing that what happened was in fact not a nightmare. Because almost all his blood had been drained, Xavier walks to the kitchen to get some water and sees that it’s already dark outside. He sees that Vinyl is in there, but he doesn't say a thing to her. Struggling against his dehydration, he gets his water. Vinyl goes about the kitchen cleaning up after having eaten dinner… It looks like it had been an apple fritter with blood in it. "What happened last night? What did you… What are you? What...” The pony put up a hoof, "I'm sorry. I thought you would understand what I am right away. I didn’t want to do it, but I had to. I'm so sorry, but to answer your question: I'm a vampire, and… you’re a vampire too." Xavier freezes up, and almost stutters as he says, "So… what's stopping me from telling the Princesses about what you are?" She laughs and says, "Yeah, go tell her that I'm a vampony, but she’d see that you’re the same as me. See what reaction you get from that. You're going to have to live with what you are now. I did this to you because... well... I love you, Xavier, and I didn’t want to kill you." Xavier falls to the floor with tears in his eyes. His head lowers, and, looking at the ground he screams "AHHH! I'm so hot! My teeth, they’re getting even longer!" "Well, how do I put this?" She saunters over to him. "Well, in a word, you're in heat. It's completely normal, and happens every now and again." He blushes as she’s now inches from his face. "But I've never had sex before, so I don't really know what to do." She replies, "Don't worry. I haven’t either, but..." She leans in and kisses him, putting her tongue in his mouth. He wraps his arms around her, kissing her. "That night, two vampires lost their virginity." “You have to change your habits so you can live this way. You can be out in the sun, but only if you wear all black and have an umbrella or shades on. We have to feed. If we don’t, we get weak, and can’t be in the sun. Don't feed unless you need to, or you’ll end up going on a killing spree. And, lastly, every month you go into heat, so you have that to look forward to." They laugh, but Xavier can’t help but feel scared because he knows that life now will be the hardest thing to deal with. "So, Xavier, it's time for us to feed. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, but don't worry, I’ll be there with you through it all." She says with a smile, "Are you ready to go about to kill some ponies?" "Haha, sure, because, you know I'm totally into doing that." He replies sarcastically. With that, Xavier and Vinyl set off in the night. "Vinyl, where are we going?" "Well, we can't kill everypony in Ponyville, now can we? We’re going to Maretropolis. That is as far as I’ve ever been. We can get there in about two hours." Later, they arrive in Maretropolis. "Vinyl, I feel somewhat weak." He says with heavy breathing. "I know the sun is coming up soon, so let's find a place to sleep. Later, the feeding shall commence." They find a cheap hotel in a quiet part of Maretropolis. "So, Vinyl... how long have you been doing this ‘n how many ponies have you killed?" He asks almost innocently. Vinyl looks at Xavier and almost hesitantly says, "Well, I'd been doing this for seven years before you came, so about 12 in all. And no, I'm not going to say how many ponies I’ve killed. I didn’t want to do it, but I had to... We need to get to bed. We have a long night ahead of us." After a good day’s sleep, the sun sets and the moon rises. Xavier didn’t get a lot of sleep, his thoughts having kept him awake all day. Vinyl gets up and gets all her stuff together. "So, are you ready?" "As ready as anyone would be.” They head out, looking for somepony to feed on. They search for an hour or two until they find an orange stallion and a blue mare at a small chapel. "Xavier let's go. It's now or never." Vinyl attacks before Xavier can say anything, pinning the stallion to the ground. Xavier follows up by grabbing the mare. As he looks over to Vinyl, he realizes the horror of what is going to happen as he sees the stallion hopelessly fight back. With tremendous force, she sinks her teeth into the poor stallion's neck. The stallion’s vision fades as she sucks his life away. Vinyl stands up, with blood dripping down her face. "Well, that was tasty." "I can't do this...I just can't." Vinyl pulls out a knife. "I knew this would happen… Give her to me." Xavier can’t help but tremble as he pushes the mare towards Vinyl. Vinyl cuts the helpless mare's arm and the mare passes out at the sight of her own blood. "Now look. Does her blood not look good? You know you want it; you need it; try it; you'll see. It’s gonna be fine." He looks at the mare’s arm as the blood drips to the ground, steadily losing his willpower, giving in to his instinct. "I...I don't.... but.... but..." he slowly smiles, jumping on the mare, biting down hard on her neck, blood gushing out onto his face, relaxing him as he drinks. Time goes by, and Xavier stands back up, shivering because he is drenched in blood. Vinyl walks up to him, putting a hoof on his back to try to get him to relax after what must have been a traumatizing experience. "Well, the good thing is that it only gets easier from here on out." Xavier looks over to Vinyl with a devilish grin. "I...I want more." Vinyl looks at him in shock from his reply. **Arrival****Arrival** "Not what I thought you were going to say, so let us go get some blood, then we will travel back home." As the night goes on they try to find some more ponies to feed on. They find a unicorn, following him until he is out of sight of others. Blade looks at Vinyl. "Want to share this one?" Vinyl nods. Blade thinks of a plan. "Vinyl, you get in front of him, and holler for help." Vinyl gallops into the shadows trotting ahead of the unicorn "HELP! Any-pony, please HELP!" as Blade waits in the darkness, as the unknown unicorn starts to gallop faster to find the pony calling for help, Blades grabs his horn, so he can't cast spells, biting his neck sucking half of his blood, cautiously stopping to save some blood for Vinyl. As they get the blood off their faces, the sun slowly comes up. "Blade we should get back to the hotel." Blade nods following Vinyl to the hotel. Blade looks over to Vinyl. "So I need shades to don't I? Do you have any for me or what?" Vinyl goes in her bag n pulls out some shades. "Now remember you need this to help your eyes you don't need to wear them all the time if you can take the light, but it helps." Blade takes the shades. "Thanks, so how long are we going to be here anyway?" Vinyl puts a hoof to her chin. "Let me think for a minute... one more day, and then we can head home." As the day goes by Blade seems confused. "Hey Vinyl...you said you've been a vamp pony for about 12 years right? How did you... um... get over being in heat? Vinyl looks over at Blade. "Nothing it drives me insane. I did nothing, and I did not want to push having sex on you. I never thought you wanted to." Blade looks away with a red face. The sun sets once again, and they head off. "Blade every pony knows something's lurking killing everything. That something being us, but as soon as this is done we can head home." An hour goes by they fond no pony. Blade puts a hand on Vinyl to calm her nerves. "Hey, I don't know if this is a good thing, but how about, just break into a pony's house?" Vinyls took some time to think it over. "O.k sure you think you can lock-pick a door or a window?" Blade nods, and they try to find a house to get into time goes by, they find one "O.k Blade try to open this window." Blade tries to open the window a few minutes go by; Blade is finally able to get it open. Inside a mare is sleeping "You can have her Vinyl; I'll wait for the next." Vinyl bites the mare bleeding her dry. "Ha ha you make a mess when you eat." Vinyl looks at Blade. "Shut up! You know what it's like you lose yourself OK? Now let's head out so you can eat." So they jump out the window going to find another house to get into. "Hey Vinyl you can go ahead, and head to the hotel; I will meet you back there when I'm done." Vinyl seems confused at what he said. "Are you sure? You are still new to being a vampire." Blade nods. "Yes, yes I am, but I will be fine now run along." With that, Vinyl heads back to the hotel. "Now then time for some blood shed." Blade heads off to find some victims. Blade sees a stallion walking. He pulls a knife grabbing the stallion, cutting his neck, and drinking his blood after he finished he went farther out finding a house. Blade walks up to the window seeing a pony sleeping inside. Blade lock-picks the window, but as he gets inside he knocks over a pot waking the pony. She turns on the light finding the broken pot on the floor, and seeing the window open walking up to the window closing it. Looking down at the pot on the ground blade could hide before the pony turned on the light now with the pony's back to him. Blade slowly walks up to the pony, grabbing her, but she could grab a lamp, hitting him in the head, but its no use Blade bites her. She attempts to get out, trying to fight, but its no use Blade gets up wiping the blood from his face "I think it's time to head back; I've had my fun." As Blade is walking to the hotel, he falls over from the blow to the head from earlier. He sits on the ground for a few minutes. Regaining his strength, he starts to go to the hotel again he knocks on the door. Vinyl walks up to the door "Hey it's me, can you open up please?" Vinyl opens the door seeing a somewhat bloody friend. Blade heads to the bathroom to wash off the blood from his head blade walks out, and lie down on the bed, Vinyl looks over to him "That was your blood wasn't it?" He replies in moans from the pain his head is in "Were going to head back in the morning so let's get to bed" In Blades dreams he remembers what it was like before coming to pony ville, a sad life with not a-lot of friends, the only thing he had was music, and art. The ones he called friend loved his art, but one day one of his friends became ill, which made him feel sad. He drew him, and his friend's all together hanging out. Blade was not someone who enjoyed talking so when he was done making the biggest art of his life, he went to go see his friend, but by the time he got there his friend had passed. Blade fell to the floor crying to know his best friend had passed on no one had heard from Blade in weeks so his friends want to go see him to make sure he was OK, what they see is a broken human all of his art destroyed now remembering how he came to pony ville it has been about one year since his friend had died. He accepted his friend's death and moved on, one day he got a letter with an odd-looking stamp. "Dear Blade this is Twilight Sparkle. I've been over looking your life for some time now iv seen that your life is going the wrong way since the day your friend died. I'm sorry for your loss. I'd like to give you a life that is full of friends, and happiness, if you want to come to my world send a letter back to me. A portal will open up, and you'll come to a town called pony ville You will remain human. If you don't wish to come tear this letter up. I will wait for your reply." Blade was puzzled, "why would she mention I'd still be a human?" Blade was thinking this was fake, and did not think of it for some time. Later, his life was getting worse so he found the letter, and wrote back. "Dear Twilight Sparkle, I'll take your offer n come to this pony ville in hope that My life will be better. I'll wait for this portal to open up." Three minutes later an odd portal opened up to blade, and he walked into it not knowing what waited on the other side. Twilight Sparkle had been watching Blade, so the first person he met was Vinyl. She was creative with music, and loved fine art, so she was a perfect friend match. "Welcome to pony ville, Blade." **The plan****The plan** A few hours go by, and they have finally gotten home to Pony ville. They walk to Vinyl's house. Blade puts a hand on Vinyl wondering if he can come in to talk about something. "So, what do you want to talk about?" Vinyl asked Blade curiously. Blade looks over to Vinyl taking off his shades, scratching his head. "Well how did you... become a vampire? I've been wondering that since the night, you attacked me." Vinyl lift's her hoof, rubbing her head thinking of how to tell him. "Well it's somewhat of a long story, but sure, I'll tell you." Vinyl pulls up two chairs from the hall, putting on some soothing music to calm the setting. "From what I remember I was in the Everfree forest, heading to a town to do a concert. Reports of killing's were going around, so on the way there were guards on the road, but I did not care. I had fans who wanted to hear my music, so I headed out. It was a clean walk until... along the way I found bodies of guards, and a stallion wearing all black biting one of the guards necks. I was in shock; I had never seen anything like it. I tried running, but before I could run.... he already grabbed me... biting me. It was so fast." Vinyl sighed as she got up. "It's getting hot in here." Vinyl turned on the air conditioning, and changed the track of the music playing. "As I was saying, before blacking out some guards came to help me, taking me into the town I was going to. I woke up in a hospital, and was told I was fine, but just passed out from shock. I went home and stayed in bed for two days. On the third day, I was feeling strange, so I got out of bed to wash myself off. When I looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe what I saw... my canines were longer, and my eyes were glowing red... I passed out, I didn't know it yet, but I needed blood. Upon waking up on the fourth day I lost my mind, I didn't want to... I had to it's not my fault!" Vinyl looked at Blade with innocent eyes. "I killed some-ponies, and drank their blood. I was crying for what I had done I had to leave pony ville for a while. I came back when I received a letter from Twilight saying she might have a friend for me. I only told Twilight where I was going, she is such a good friend. She never asked why I was leaving. She just agreed to send any mail I get at my old residence to my new address, since I still owned my house in Pony ville I couldn't change what I'd become I was tormented... until you came Blade." With all that was said, Blade felt sad for Vinyl. Looking at Vinyl, he asks. "Is there a way to turn back if you even wanted to?" Vinyl thinks about it putting a hoof to her head. "Well you have to think, if they would I mean if Celestia knew about everything I've done, I'm sure she would have me killed, and maybe even you." With those words said, Blade thinks about someway to convince her. "Well did you want to try to see if she would. You don't know... if she would... just say no." As Blade tries to convince Vinyl. "I'm sorry, but I cannot go back iv been like this for too long." With tears in her eyes, she says. "I see you obviously don't want to be like this with me. So it's not too late for you to turn back. It will make me pleased to see you jolly." Blade stops the crying pony hugging her. "No I will not just leave you alone to live this life. I will be here with you forever Vinyl... I love you." Blade wipes the tears from her face. "Now calm down will you? I don't want to see you like this." Blade comes up with an idea. "Hey Vinyl, what if we were to pull off a big concert?" "What in great Celestia, you talkin' bout Willis?" "Well what if we go to a location where all of our friends are out of the way, and won't get hurt... I know it's a terrible thing to do, but I'm thinking... let's throw a 'Blood Donation' concert. Then when the night end's we feast, and that way, we won't have to for another year... maybe 2 if there's enough ponies." Vinyl thinks about it for a few minutes. "Yes that sounds like a perfect idea, but where... THAT'S IT! We need to go to Saddle-Arabia. We will make a concert there!" Blade smile's "Ya I'll make the posters. You make the arrangements on where the concert should be. You think you can do that?" "Of course! Remember the pony's still kind of fear you, so on the train there you will need to hide yourself" "Hey Vinyl while I'll make the posters can you ask Rarity to make me a long cloak, and one of her big hats?" "Sure any color you want I'll say it's for you, but you have things to make." "black thanks" Vinyl nods, and goes to ask Rarity to make a cloak for Blade, and Blade goes to make the poster's few hours go by, and Vinyl return's home. Blade has made a few posters. "Well Rarity says she'll have it done by tomorrow so have you made any poster's yet dear?" Blade nods handing her some poster. "I love how well your art is." Blade blush's "Well I aim to please you." "Here I got you some food are you hungry? It's a fruit, and blood salad." Blade's stomach growls. Vinyl hands him some food. "Tomorrow I'll get the train tickets to head to Saddle-Arabia. I'll get them in the morning the train that goes; there will be here in the next two days." "O.k I'm going to make more poster designs." Vinyl put's a hoof on Blade. "Hey now we have enough designs, so calm down." Blade nods, and goes to get a drink, and relax. Blade goes to take a sit on the couch to relax. Vinyl joined Blade leaning on Blade's shoulder smiling. Blade wraps his arm around Vinyl petting Vinyl's mane, and scratching her ear. Vinyl smiles "You know; it's been good having you around Blade. I'm sorry again for what I've done." "It's fine Vinyl. I'm happier this way" "Hey Blade would it be too much to ask... if I could drink some of your blood?" Blade blushes. "Well, I... didn't you say you could go crazy if you drink blood when you're not supposed to?" "When your use to it, it's fine later you can drink on your own without it having to be when you must." Blade nods showing his neck. "Just don't go crazy O.k?" Vinyl leans in biting Blade's neck drinking his blood "Vi...Vinyl can...can you slow down?" Blade slowly falling over Vinyl takes out her fangs from Blade's neck. "I'm sorry are you O.k?" "Ya...I'll be fine it's getting late I'm going to head to bed love you Vinyl." "Love you to." Blade, and Vinyl kiss before Blade head's to bed. Sometime later Vinyl joins him in bed. Blade wakes up the next morning seeing Vinyl is in bed next to him. He does not wake her walking downstairs to make breakfast. A few minute's Vinyl wakes up. "Good morning Vinyl. I made some breakfast, want some?' Vinyl takes a seat. They eat breakfast "So Vinyl did we do anything last night? Alternatively, did you just want to sleep next to me?" Vinyl laughs. "No we did not do anything, by the way. How are you feeling?? Blade takes a drink. "I'm feeling better. So I'm guessing my blood is tasty to make you want it, like last night." Vinyl nods giving Blade her plate. Blade cleans the dishes. "Well, I'm going to go make more posters now." Blade goes to make more poster's before going to Saddle-Arabia tomorrow. As the day slowly fades Blade has made a few thousand posters. "Hey Blade! Here's your cloak." Blade looks over to Vinyl. "Thanks I'll try it on." Blade tries on the cloak. It covers his body "It's perfect! Thanks again. So tomorrow we will leave right?" Vinyl nods. So Vinyl, and Blade head to bed. The next morning arrives quickly. "Blade gets up get prepared!" Blade get's up in a daze, and tries to get everything set. The train rolls in, Blade, and Vinyl hurry on to the train. Taking their seat's "We've got a long ride ahead of us." Vinyl lays her head on Blade's lap, and drift's into a deep dream of her past life. **The joy of memories.****The joy of memories.** Vinyl wake's up, seeing Blade looking out the window. "Hey Blade we have a long time be for we get to Saddle-Arabia want to talk?" Blade looks over to Vinyl. "What about?" "Well how was your life before coming to Pony ville, and living with me?" Blade felt somewhat uncomfortable telling her, but he had nothing better to do. "My life before coming here was a sad one. I was always alone; I had a few friends, and my art. It was hard, but the few friends; I had to help me move along. I would draw everywhere I went, making art out of anything I saw, that helped me relax, and what about you. How was your life before I came here?" 'Easy going, music was, and is my life; I would always be on the road having concerts, had friends, but over-all I really did not have any-pony that I loved, there was one pony, but he liked some-pony named Octavia, said he was into classical music, and all that jazz; I was heart-broken, but got over it pretty quick. I had a secret spot no-pony ever knew about it was so peaceful, maybe I'll show you the spot someday." Blade starts thinking about home, and his spot. "Hey Vinyl you just reminded me of something I've never shown anyone before. I had a secret spot too!" Blade pulls out a picture. "Well, I had this cave I found once I was in the woods, a place to relax here.' Blade shows vinyl the picture. "Wow! It's so beautiful. It looks like a cool place to go for a swim." Blade put's the picture back smiling at Vinyl. "So how did coming to Pony ville help you?" "Well it helped me learn how to talk, and socialize... even tho I only talk to you, and Twilight sometimes. I was not a talker before coming here. How did you react when you saw me?" Lowering his voice Blade says, "humans got a bad name here so how did you react?" "Well I knew Twilight had a friend to show me, and I have to say, seeing you did put some horror in me, and how did you react seeing me?" "Well from Twilight's letter I did not think I was going anywhere, but coming to a house, with a white unicorn, I had to say I thought I was dreaming... now that I think about it. You were a vampire when I was there. What stopped you from killing me?" 'Well nothing. I know humans are bad, but Twilight knows what she was doing, so I did not kill you so tell me about humans what are they like' Blade tries to answer Vinyl. "Well, I don't know. There are pleasant ones, and terrible ones. The good ones have a bad side that they don't show. The bad ones aren't really bad but no matter what no one or pony will ever fully know the humans not even themselves. Does that answer your question?" Vinyl nods "I did not know humans where like that...so what one are you?" "I don't really know... humans never know what they are it's what you think I am." Suddenly, Blade and Vinyl here screaming. "THIS IS A ROBBERY GIVE US WHAT YOU GOT!" "vinyl what do we do I don't want to show myself" Vinyl looks over to Blade. "We will have to do something." "Fine" Blade pulls out a knife from his bag and gets up "I think you should stop now." "Ya? What are you going to do about it... wait are you a diamond dog? What the hell are you doing here?" Vinyl gets up "He's my friend, and he's not one to be taken lightly." Blade says in a low voice. "Diamond dog. Ha ya now we know what we say to ponies when they ask what I am." The robbers run attacking Blade and Vinyl. Blade jumps to the side cutting the robbers face. Vinyl bucking one of them knocking him out as Blade fights the robber dodging some of his attacks. Blade stabs the robber. "It's not too late to give up." Blade tries to get the robber to stop. "No it IS to late for you!" the robber rushes Blade. Blade dodges the robber grabbing the robber's mane and stabbing his neck the robber falls over slowly dying from blood loss. Blade walks next to Vinyl. "So there only you left, so what's it going to be you going to give up." The robber drops his weapon. "Some pony tie him up. I'm going back to my seat." Vinyl, and Blade walk back to their seat. She lies her head on Blades lap. A pony approaches Vinyl and Blade. "Hey... thanks for saving us." Blade replies "Your welcome now can Vinyl, and I get some sleep please?" "Sure one more thing. Are you a diamond dog?" "Yes. I am. Now please may we rest?" "Right sorry." The pony walks away. Vinyl looks up at blade and says, "Not much longer now." Blade pet's Vinyl's mane "Get some rest Vinyl." Vinyl goes to sleep on Blades lap the train comes to a slow stop. "We are coming to Appleloosia the train well be leaving in two hours next stop Saddle-Arabia." Blade tries to wake Vinyl. "Hey Vinyl, Vinyl get up the train stopped. We should go out, get some food, and look around." Vinyl slowly gets up. "Ok sure.' Blade and Vinyl get off the train. "You know, no matter what I never get used to seeing ponies, and not humans" Vinyl looks over to Blade. "Do you miss every one?" "Haha not in the least, but still it makes me sad to know I'm the only one here... enough talking about me. Let's get something to eat." Vinyl and Blade walk around getting some food enjoying sites enjoying their walk in an apple field "Hey Vinyl; I think we should head back to the train." "Ok let's go." Vinyl and Blade make their way back to the train 'ALL ABOARD!' Vinyl and Blade got there just in time. "Tickets please." Vinyl and Blade show their tickets "O.k you can go." They head in the train taking their seats. Blade smiles at Vinyl, and says, "Next stop Saddle Arabia every thing will soon be peaceful for a few years, and we can live happily in Pony ville." The train begins to move. Vinyl rubs Blade's chest, saying. "Not even a vampire for that long, and your welcoming it as you did me." "Hey...it was not easy welcoming a new life, but still I'm here today, happy, a new me; I have someone... pony that I love, now go to sleep, I will wake you when we arrive there." A few hours go by, and the train comes to a halt. "I think we're here. Vinyl get up were here." They walk off the train. "Blade, let's get a hotel." "Alright, but first, let's get a bite to eat... if you know what I mean I'm getting hungry." "Here you can have some of mine when we get to the hotel." A few minutes go by. Soon they find a nice hotel. "Blade come here." Vinyl shows her neck. "Are you sure Vinyl?" "Yes I am." Blade leans in biting Vinyl, drinking some of her blood. He takes his fangs out of her neck. "Are you ok vinyl?' "Ya, I'm fine that should help you until the concert." They slowly drift to sleep. **Love last's forever.****Love last's forever.** Vinyl and Blade wake up the next day in the hotel. "O.k Blade let us head out to find a place to get the concert" Blade wakes up slowly, and gets everything ready. They set off to find a place to make the concert few hours go by, and they find a good place for it. They see a pony, and Vinyl trots up him. "Do you own this place?" The pony nods. "Why do you ask?" "Well my friend and I are hoping we could rent it for a concert. Maybe you know me im Vinyl Scratch, and this is my friend Blade. Don't mind him.' Blade looks away. "So can we rent it sir?" "Yes, you may. What sort of a concert are you holding?" Blade pulls out a poster. "It's a blood donation concert.' Blade says. '...what are you...' Vinyl walks in front of Blade. "He is a diamond dog, your fine. So can we unpack everything for the concert?" "Right, yes here let me, and some of my friends help you." The pony calls some of his friends over. They all head inside. The day quickly ends everything is set up Vinyl says to every pony, "Thanks for all the help. We still need help with hanging up the posters tomorrow if any pony would like to help." A stallion walks up. "I would love to help you. If you meet me here tomorrow I will gladly help you hang up the posters around the hot spots." "O.k thanks" Vinyl and Blade head back to the hotel. Vinyl looks over to Blade, "Well that was fast we soon will be done." "Ya and soon we can head back. Let's get to bed." They get to sleep for tomorrow. The next day was bright not a cloud in the sky. Vinyl wakes up seeing Blade was up before her getting some stuff ready. "Blade? How long have you been up?" Blade looks over to vinyl "Good morning, a few hours I guess just getting everything ready." "O.k, can I just go out to hang up the posters? You can make sure everything at the concert is ready." Blade nods and hands her the posters. Vinyls trots out the door to meet the stallion. "Good morning, do you have the posters?" Vinyl shows him the posters "Ah. Follow me, I'll show you some excellent places for them." Vinyl follows the stallion "So your friend. How did you meet him? If you don't mind my asking." "Well its a long story, and I really can't say." "Please forgive me for asking. So I know of you, and your music, and I have to say I'm very happy to be helping you, if there anything more you need, do let me know." "This is all good, but feel liberated to come to the concert. It is, in fact, free." "Cool, I well happily come." A few hours go by. Vinyl and the stallion hung up all the posters. "Now all that's left is the concert." Vinyl thinks to herself. She gets back to the hotel seeing Blades there. "I did not know you would be here." "Hey Vinyl, eeyup everything is ready to go... tomorrow night is going to be life changing, isn't it?' "Yup, I can't wait to, let's head to bed." "Already?" "Well we do have a long night tomorrow." "O.k" They head to bed as soon as they can. Blade wakes up seeing Vinyl still asleep he starts to get things ready. A few minutes go by, and Vinyl wakes up. "Good morning Vinyl. I got my stuff ready. Should we go?" "Ya let me get a drink, and then we may." Vinyl get's a drink. Later, that night they go to the concert. Seeing a lot of ponies wanting in, they get in through the back seeing the stallion that helped Vinyl. "Hello there." The stallion walks over to Vinyl holding one of her hooves, kissing it; Blade gets a little mad "This is not the time for that. We have fans who want in here." Blade says trying to get him away from Vinyl. "Mad are we?" Vinyl looks over to Blade giving him a troll face. "Yes a little, thank you, let's just get everything prepared." Blade gets everything set for the concert. "OK, everything is ready, Let's give them a show they will never forget." "OK LET THEM IN!" Blade says to get them to open the doors. Blade walks to the back out of sight." "YOU ALL READY TO LET THE BASS DROP!" the crowd roars! The music starts. A few hours go by the concert is coming to an end. "Thank you all for coming.' The stallion that helped Vinyl trots over to her. "Do you mind if I have this dance." A slow dance remix begins to play. "Um sure." Vinyl dances with the stallion. "I have never been this happy. To see a mare like you, will you like to live with me... here? I will give you everything you could ever want." "What... no I ca..." The stallion kisses Vinyl. Blade looks over to the dance floor. Seeing the stallion kissing Vinyl sends Blade into a frenzy. "LET GO OF HER!" Blade runs over punching the stallion so hard his fist indents his side. Every pony saw Blades cloak fall off. Seeing a human, and the dead stallion. Every pony tries to run. Blade still being in rage kills every pony as they try, and get away. Vinyl being weary of not drinking blood, she falls over. Watching vinyl fall over calms Blade down, he runs too her. "Vinyl please get up. I... blood, right." Blade bites into his arm opening vinyls mouth, his blood drips in. "Come on please." As blood drips into her mouth, she gets up, biting his arm. "Why did you do that Blade?" "I don't know I am sorry." "you know I only love you so why did you jump in killing every pony, why did you mess up everything? Vinyl gets up. "I need to be alone." Vinyl walks out of the back door, leaving Blade solely on the floor. 'I... I'm sorry I just... I didn't want to be alone... I did not want to lose you too." Blade sobs on the floor choking on tears. "I have to go before the guards get here." Blade gets up crying. "I can't go to the hotel... I can't I will just... hide until then." About an hour goes by, and Blade is still sad about what he did. Back at the hotel Vinyl is sitting down thinking. "I was a little harsh. I think I should go look for him before this gets more out of hand." Vinyl trots into the night to find Blade. "Oh, where are you Blade?" Vinyl finds Blade, asleep, in a corner. "Hey, Blade wake up." Blade slowly wakes up. "I thought you wanted to be alone." "we will talk later. Now we should leave here as soon as we can, come on, let's go." Blade follows Vinyl to a train that's about to leave. "Let's jump on." the two jump on to the moving train. "In here." They hide inside the caboose of the train. "Now we should be able to wait here until we get back to pony ville, and then we can talk." A day goes by the train comes to a stop at Pony ville "We are here, let's go Blade; Blade come on get up. When we get inside we need to talk." They jump off the train, and walk to their house "So what the hell was that all about? You're jumping in and killing every pony like that? It was supposed to be a clean operation." Blade looks over to Vinyl with tears in his eyes. "I did not want to be alone... you are all I have here. If I lose you, I lose everything. I know your mad, and I know you will not just forgive me. I... sorry." Blade run's out of the house. "Where are you going?" Vinyl follows Blade to a cave. She saw Blade crying, talking to himself. "She is not going to forgive me... It's all over. Everything... its all gone... no where to go. I'm alone again." Vinyl sits next to Blade. "Blade I want you to look around for me." Blade look around. "This is it this is my secret spot its beautiful isn't it?" Blade looked around seeing bushes of flowers all around, and the moonlight shines precisely hitting the mini waterfall that produced just enough light for them to be able to see in the dark. "Wow!" Blade says. "This is astonishing. It's beautiful..." Blade looks over at vinyl. "Vinyl... will you marry me?" Vinyl looked amazed. She was happier than ever. "Yes, I will." "Vinyl let's live here forever. We can build a house in this cave. It will be our home." From then on Blade and Vinyl lived in harmony, at no time will they become bothered again. They never killed another pony. They would find animals to feast on. The end.
Secrets revealed"Hmm, it's getting dark. I wonder if I should go check on Vinyl," says Xavier, who had been a simple man until he found himself in Equestria one day. Nopony knew how he got there, but they accepted him into their society. He befriended Vinyl Scratch because of their taste in music. As he walks to Vinyl's door, he hears something from behind. As he turns, he catches a glimpse of what looks like two red glowing... eyes? Xavier ‒ getting nervous ‒ backs away slowly. "Run! Get away!" Vinyl screams with warning as she comes into the light, her blood-matted face glistening in the moonlight. Xavier slowly begins to step backwards. He opens his mouth to say something, but she creeps closer and closer, and he can’t bring himself to speak. "RUN!!" She hisses as she begins to gallop quicker after the cowering Xavier. He runs as fast as he can, but not fast enough. She cuts him off as he runs toward a house. He tries to stop and run the other way, but he trips and falls. "Vinyl, I don't know what’s going on. Please, stop. You’re scaring me." Xavier says with a wavering voice. "I can’t help it," Vinyl says, “I tried to avoid getting you at all cost, but the Everfree Forest is all out of animals... I need blood! I need it! I want your blood! COME HERE! GIVE ME BLOOD!" She jumps onto Xavier, throws him at the house and pins him to the wall. "I'm so sorry. I wish I didn't have to, but now we can live together... forever." She softly caresses his back as she wraps her hooves around him, but then she fiercely bites into his neck, drawing his blood. "Vi...Vinyl, why?" He blacks out. The Next Day "AHA!" Xavier exclaims, as he wakes up in a cold sweat. He walks to the bathroom and wipes his face as he laughs to himself, but as he looks into the mirror, he sees that both of his eyes are an eerie red and his canines have grown several inches longer. Xavier almost collapses from realizing that what happened was in fact not a nightmare. Because almost all his blood had been drained, Xavier walks to the kitchen to get some water and sees that it’s already dark outside. He sees that Vinyl is in there, but he doesn't say a thing to her. Struggling against his dehydration, he gets his water. Vinyl goes about the kitchen cleaning up after having eaten dinner… It looks like it had been an apple fritter with blood in it. "What happened last night? What did you… What are you? What...” The pony put up a hoof, "I'm sorry. I thought you would understand what I am right away. I didn’t want to do it, but I had to. I'm so sorry, but to answer your question: I'm a vampire, and… you’re a vampire too." Xavier freezes up, and almost stutters as he says, "So… what's stopping me from telling the Princesses about what you are?" She laughs and says, "Yeah, go tell her that I'm a vampony, but she’d see that you’re the same as me. See what reaction you get from that. You're going to have to live with what you are now. I did this to you because... well... I love you, Xavier, and I didn’t want to kill you." Xavier falls to the floor with tears in his eyes. His head lowers, and, looking at the ground he screams "AHHH! I'm so hot! My teeth, they’re getting even longer!" "Well, how do I put this?" She saunters over to him. "Well, in a word, you're in heat. It's completely normal, and happens every now and again." He blushes as she’s now inches from his face. "But I've never had sex before, so I don't really know what to do." She replies, "Don't worry. I haven’t either, but..." She leans in and kisses him, putting her tongue in his mouth. He wraps his arms around her, kissing her. "That night, two vampires lost their virginity." “You have to change your habits so you can live this way. You can be out in the sun, but only if you wear all black and have an umbrella or shades on. We have to feed. If we don’t, we get weak, and can’t be in the sun. Don't feed unless you need to, or you’ll end up going on a killing spree. And, lastly, every month you go into heat, so you have that to look forward to." They laugh, but Xavier can’t help but feel scared because he knows that life now will be the hardest thing to deal with. "So, Xavier, it's time for us to feed. Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, but don't worry, I’ll be there with you through it all." She says with a smile, "Are you ready to go about to kill some ponies?" "Haha, sure, because, you know I'm totally into doing that." He replies sarcastically. With that, Xavier and Vinyl set off in the night. "Vinyl, where are we going?" "Well, we can't kill everypony in Ponyville, now can we? We’re going to Maretropolis. That is as far as I’ve ever been. We can get there in about two hours." Later, they arrive in Maretropolis. "Vinyl, I feel somewhat weak." He says with heavy breathing. "I know the sun is coming up soon, so let's find a place to sleep. Later, the feeding shall commence." They find a cheap hotel in a quiet part of Maretropolis. "So, Vinyl... how long have you been doing this ‘n how many ponies have you killed?" He asks almost innocently. Vinyl looks at Xavier and almost hesitantly says, "Well, I'd been doing this for seven years before you came, so about 12 in all. And no, I'm not going to say how many ponies I’ve killed. I didn’t want to do it, but I had to... We need to get to bed. We have a long night ahead of us." After a good day’s sleep, the sun sets and the moon rises. Xavier didn’t get a lot of sleep, his thoughts having kept him awake all day. Vinyl gets up and gets all her stuff together. "So, are you ready?" "As ready as anyone would be.” They head out, looking for somepony to feed on. They search for an hour or two until they find an orange stallion and a blue mare at a small chapel. "Xavier let's go. It's now or never." Vinyl attacks before Xavier can say anything, pinning the stallion to the ground. Xavier follows up by grabbing the mare. As he looks over to Vinyl, he realizes the horror of what is going to happen as he sees the stallion hopelessly fight back. With tremendous force, she sinks her teeth into the poor stallion's neck. The stallion’s vision fades as she sucks his life away. Vinyl stands up, with blood dripping down her face. "Well, that was tasty." "I can't do this...I just can't." Vinyl pulls out a knife. "I knew this would happen… Give her to me." Xavier can’t help but tremble as he pushes the mare towards Vinyl. Vinyl cuts the helpless mare's arm and the mare passes out at the sight of her own blood. "Now look. Does her blood not look good? You know you want it; you need it; try it; you'll see. It’s gonna be fine." He looks at the mare’s arm as the blood drips to the ground, steadily losing his willpower, giving in to his instinct. "I...I don't.... but.... but..." he slowly smiles, jumping on the mare, biting down hard on her neck, blood gushing out onto his face, relaxing him as he drinks. Time goes by, and Xavier stands back up, shivering because he is drenched in blood. Vinyl walks up to him, putting a hoof on his back to try to get him to relax after what must have been a traumatizing experience. "Well, the good thing is that it only gets easier from here on out." Xavier looks over to Vinyl with a devilish grin. "I...I want more." Vinyl looks at him in shock from his reply.
**Arrival****Arrival** "Not what I thought you were going to say, so let us go get some blood, then we will travel back home." As the night goes on they try to find some more ponies to feed on. They find a unicorn, following him until he is out of sight of others. Blade looks at Vinyl. "Want to share this one?" Vinyl nods. Blade thinks of a plan. "Vinyl, you get in front of him, and holler for help." Vinyl gallops into the shadows trotting ahead of the unicorn "HELP! Any-pony, please HELP!" as Blade waits in the darkness, as the unknown unicorn starts to gallop faster to find the pony calling for help, Blades grabs his horn, so he can't cast spells, biting his neck sucking half of his blood, cautiously stopping to save some blood for Vinyl. As they get the blood off their faces, the sun slowly comes up. "Blade we should get back to the hotel." Blade nods following Vinyl to the hotel. Blade looks over to Vinyl. "So I need shades to don't I? Do you have any for me or what?" Vinyl goes in her bag n pulls out some shades. "Now remember you need this to help your eyes you don't need to wear them all the time if you can take the light, but it helps." Blade takes the shades. "Thanks, so how long are we going to be here anyway?" Vinyl puts a hoof to her chin. "Let me think for a minute... one more day, and then we can head home." As the day goes by Blade seems confused. "Hey Vinyl...you said you've been a vamp pony for about 12 years right? How did you... um... get over being in heat? Vinyl looks over at Blade. "Nothing it drives me insane. I did nothing, and I did not want to push having sex on you. I never thought you wanted to." Blade looks away with a red face. The sun sets once again, and they head off. "Blade every pony knows something's lurking killing everything. That something being us, but as soon as this is done we can head home." An hour goes by they fond no pony. Blade puts a hand on Vinyl to calm her nerves. "Hey, I don't know if this is a good thing, but how about, just break into a pony's house?" Vinyls took some time to think it over. "O.k sure you think you can lock-pick a door or a window?" Blade nods, and they try to find a house to get into time goes by, they find one "O.k Blade try to open this window." Blade tries to open the window a few minutes go by; Blade is finally able to get it open. Inside a mare is sleeping "You can have her Vinyl; I'll wait for the next." Vinyl bites the mare bleeding her dry. "Ha ha you make a mess when you eat." Vinyl looks at Blade. "Shut up! You know what it's like you lose yourself OK? Now let's head out so you can eat." So they jump out the window going to find another house to get into. "Hey Vinyl you can go ahead, and head to the hotel; I will meet you back there when I'm done." Vinyl seems confused at what he said. "Are you sure? You are still new to being a vampire." Blade nods. "Yes, yes I am, but I will be fine now run along." With that, Vinyl heads back to the hotel. "Now then time for some blood shed." Blade heads off to find some victims. Blade sees a stallion walking. He pulls a knife grabbing the stallion, cutting his neck, and drinking his blood after he finished he went farther out finding a house. Blade walks up to the window seeing a pony sleeping inside. Blade lock-picks the window, but as he gets inside he knocks over a pot waking the pony. She turns on the light finding the broken pot on the floor, and seeing the window open walking up to the window closing it. Looking down at the pot on the ground blade could hide before the pony turned on the light now with the pony's back to him. Blade slowly walks up to the pony, grabbing her, but she could grab a lamp, hitting him in the head, but its no use Blade bites her. She attempts to get out, trying to fight, but its no use Blade gets up wiping the blood from his face "I think it's time to head back; I've had my fun." As Blade is walking to the hotel, he falls over from the blow to the head from earlier. He sits on the ground for a few minutes. Regaining his strength, he starts to go to the hotel again he knocks on the door. Vinyl walks up to the door "Hey it's me, can you open up please?" Vinyl opens the door seeing a somewhat bloody friend. Blade heads to the bathroom to wash off the blood from his head blade walks out, and lie down on the bed, Vinyl looks over to him "That was your blood wasn't it?" He replies in moans from the pain his head is in "Were going to head back in the morning so let's get to bed" In Blades dreams he remembers what it was like before coming to pony ville, a sad life with not a-lot of friends, the only thing he had was music, and art. The ones he called friend loved his art, but one day one of his friends became ill, which made him feel sad. He drew him, and his friend's all together hanging out. Blade was not someone who enjoyed talking so when he was done making the biggest art of his life, he went to go see his friend, but by the time he got there his friend had passed. Blade fell to the floor crying to know his best friend had passed on no one had heard from Blade in weeks so his friends want to go see him to make sure he was OK, what they see is a broken human all of his art destroyed now remembering how he came to pony ville it has been about one year since his friend had died. He accepted his friend's death and moved on, one day he got a letter with an odd-looking stamp. "Dear Blade this is Twilight Sparkle. I've been over looking your life for some time now iv seen that your life is going the wrong way since the day your friend died. I'm sorry for your loss. I'd like to give you a life that is full of friends, and happiness, if you want to come to my world send a letter back to me. A portal will open up, and you'll come to a town called pony ville You will remain human. If you don't wish to come tear this letter up. I will wait for your reply." Blade was puzzled, "why would she mention I'd still be a human?" Blade was thinking this was fake, and did not think of it for some time. Later, his life was getting worse so he found the letter, and wrote back. "Dear Twilight Sparkle, I'll take your offer n come to this pony ville in hope that My life will be better. I'll wait for this portal to open up." Three minutes later an odd portal opened up to blade, and he walked into it not knowing what waited on the other side. Twilight Sparkle had been watching Blade, so the first person he met was Vinyl. She was creative with music, and loved fine art, so she was a perfect friend match. "Welcome to pony ville, Blade."
**The plan****The plan** A few hours go by, and they have finally gotten home to Pony ville. They walk to Vinyl's house. Blade puts a hand on Vinyl wondering if he can come in to talk about something. "So, what do you want to talk about?" Vinyl asked Blade curiously. Blade looks over to Vinyl taking off his shades, scratching his head. "Well how did you... become a vampire? I've been wondering that since the night, you attacked me." Vinyl lift's her hoof, rubbing her head thinking of how to tell him. "Well it's somewhat of a long story, but sure, I'll tell you." Vinyl pulls up two chairs from the hall, putting on some soothing music to calm the setting. "From what I remember I was in the Everfree forest, heading to a town to do a concert. Reports of killing's were going around, so on the way there were guards on the road, but I did not care. I had fans who wanted to hear my music, so I headed out. It was a clean walk until... along the way I found bodies of guards, and a stallion wearing all black biting one of the guards necks. I was in shock; I had never seen anything like it. I tried running, but before I could run.... he already grabbed me... biting me. It was so fast." Vinyl sighed as she got up. "It's getting hot in here." Vinyl turned on the air conditioning, and changed the track of the music playing. "As I was saying, before blacking out some guards came to help me, taking me into the town I was going to. I woke up in a hospital, and was told I was fine, but just passed out from shock. I went home and stayed in bed for two days. On the third day, I was feeling strange, so I got out of bed to wash myself off. When I looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe what I saw... my canines were longer, and my eyes were glowing red... I passed out, I didn't know it yet, but I needed blood. Upon waking up on the fourth day I lost my mind, I didn't want to... I had to it's not my fault!" Vinyl looked at Blade with innocent eyes. "I killed some-ponies, and drank their blood. I was crying for what I had done I had to leave pony ville for a while. I came back when I received a letter from Twilight saying she might have a friend for me. I only told Twilight where I was going, she is such a good friend. She never asked why I was leaving. She just agreed to send any mail I get at my old residence to my new address, since I still owned my house in Pony ville I couldn't change what I'd become I was tormented... until you came Blade." With all that was said, Blade felt sad for Vinyl. Looking at Vinyl, he asks. "Is there a way to turn back if you even wanted to?" Vinyl thinks about it putting a hoof to her head. "Well you have to think, if they would I mean if Celestia knew about everything I've done, I'm sure she would have me killed, and maybe even you." With those words said, Blade thinks about someway to convince her. "Well did you want to try to see if she would. You don't know... if she would... just say no." As Blade tries to convince Vinyl. "I'm sorry, but I cannot go back iv been like this for too long." With tears in her eyes, she says. "I see you obviously don't want to be like this with me. So it's not too late for you to turn back. It will make me pleased to see you jolly." Blade stops the crying pony hugging her. "No I will not just leave you alone to live this life. I will be here with you forever Vinyl... I love you." Blade wipes the tears from her face. "Now calm down will you? I don't want to see you like this." Blade comes up with an idea. "Hey Vinyl, what if we were to pull off a big concert?" "What in great Celestia, you talkin' bout Willis?" "Well what if we go to a location where all of our friends are out of the way, and won't get hurt... I know it's a terrible thing to do, but I'm thinking... let's throw a 'Blood Donation' concert. Then when the night end's we feast, and that way, we won't have to for another year... maybe 2 if there's enough ponies." Vinyl thinks about it for a few minutes. "Yes that sounds like a perfect idea, but where... THAT'S IT! We need to go to Saddle-Arabia. We will make a concert there!" Blade smile's "Ya I'll make the posters. You make the arrangements on where the concert should be. You think you can do that?" "Of course! Remember the pony's still kind of fear you, so on the train there you will need to hide yourself" "Hey Vinyl while I'll make the posters can you ask Rarity to make me a long cloak, and one of her big hats?" "Sure any color you want I'll say it's for you, but you have things to make." "black thanks" Vinyl nods, and goes to ask Rarity to make a cloak for Blade, and Blade goes to make the poster's few hours go by, and Vinyl return's home. Blade has made a few posters. "Well Rarity says she'll have it done by tomorrow so have you made any poster's yet dear?" Blade nods handing her some poster. "I love how well your art is." Blade blush's "Well I aim to please you." "Here I got you some food are you hungry? It's a fruit, and blood salad." Blade's stomach growls. Vinyl hands him some food. "Tomorrow I'll get the train tickets to head to Saddle-Arabia. I'll get them in the morning the train that goes; there will be here in the next two days." "O.k I'm going to make more poster designs." Vinyl put's a hoof on Blade. "Hey now we have enough designs, so calm down." Blade nods, and goes to get a drink, and relax. Blade goes to take a sit on the couch to relax. Vinyl joined Blade leaning on Blade's shoulder smiling. Blade wraps his arm around Vinyl petting Vinyl's mane, and scratching her ear. Vinyl smiles "You know; it's been good having you around Blade. I'm sorry again for what I've done." "It's fine Vinyl. I'm happier this way" "Hey Blade would it be too much to ask... if I could drink some of your blood?" Blade blushes. "Well, I... didn't you say you could go crazy if you drink blood when you're not supposed to?" "When your use to it, it's fine later you can drink on your own without it having to be when you must." Blade nods showing his neck. "Just don't go crazy O.k?" Vinyl leans in biting Blade's neck drinking his blood "Vi...Vinyl can...can you slow down?" Blade slowly falling over Vinyl takes out her fangs from Blade's neck. "I'm sorry are you O.k?" "Ya...I'll be fine it's getting late I'm going to head to bed love you Vinyl." "Love you to." Blade, and Vinyl kiss before Blade head's to bed. Sometime later Vinyl joins him in bed. Blade wakes up the next morning seeing Vinyl is in bed next to him. He does not wake her walking downstairs to make breakfast. A few minute's Vinyl wakes up. "Good morning Vinyl. I made some breakfast, want some?' Vinyl takes a seat. They eat breakfast "So Vinyl did we do anything last night? Alternatively, did you just want to sleep next to me?" Vinyl laughs. "No we did not do anything, by the way. How are you feeling?? Blade takes a drink. "I'm feeling better. So I'm guessing my blood is tasty to make you want it, like last night." Vinyl nods giving Blade her plate. Blade cleans the dishes. "Well, I'm going to go make more posters now." Blade goes to make more poster's before going to Saddle-Arabia tomorrow. As the day slowly fades Blade has made a few thousand posters. "Hey Blade! Here's your cloak." Blade looks over to Vinyl. "Thanks I'll try it on." Blade tries on the cloak. It covers his body "It's perfect! Thanks again. So tomorrow we will leave right?" Vinyl nods. So Vinyl, and Blade head to bed. The next morning arrives quickly. "Blade gets up get prepared!" Blade get's up in a daze, and tries to get everything set. The train rolls in, Blade, and Vinyl hurry on to the train. Taking their seat's "We've got a long ride ahead of us." Vinyl lays her head on Blade's lap, and drift's into a deep dream of her past life.
**The joy of memories.****The joy of memories.** Vinyl wake's up, seeing Blade looking out the window. "Hey Blade we have a long time be for we get to Saddle-Arabia want to talk?" Blade looks over to Vinyl. "What about?" "Well how was your life before coming to Pony ville, and living with me?" Blade felt somewhat uncomfortable telling her, but he had nothing better to do. "My life before coming here was a sad one. I was always alone; I had a few friends, and my art. It was hard, but the few friends; I had to help me move along. I would draw everywhere I went, making art out of anything I saw, that helped me relax, and what about you. How was your life before I came here?" 'Easy going, music was, and is my life; I would always be on the road having concerts, had friends, but over-all I really did not have any-pony that I loved, there was one pony, but he liked some-pony named Octavia, said he was into classical music, and all that jazz; I was heart-broken, but got over it pretty quick. I had a secret spot no-pony ever knew about it was so peaceful, maybe I'll show you the spot someday." Blade starts thinking about home, and his spot. "Hey Vinyl you just reminded me of something I've never shown anyone before. I had a secret spot too!" Blade pulls out a picture. "Well, I had this cave I found once I was in the woods, a place to relax here.' Blade shows vinyl the picture. "Wow! It's so beautiful. It looks like a cool place to go for a swim." Blade put's the picture back smiling at Vinyl. "So how did coming to Pony ville help you?" "Well it helped me learn how to talk, and socialize... even tho I only talk to you, and Twilight sometimes. I was not a talker before coming here. How did you react when you saw me?" Lowering his voice Blade says, "humans got a bad name here so how did you react?" "Well I knew Twilight had a friend to show me, and I have to say, seeing you did put some horror in me, and how did you react seeing me?" "Well from Twilight's letter I did not think I was going anywhere, but coming to a house, with a white unicorn, I had to say I thought I was dreaming... now that I think about it. You were a vampire when I was there. What stopped you from killing me?" 'Well nothing. I know humans are bad, but Twilight knows what she was doing, so I did not kill you so tell me about humans what are they like' Blade tries to answer Vinyl. "Well, I don't know. There are pleasant ones, and terrible ones. The good ones have a bad side that they don't show. The bad ones aren't really bad but no matter what no one or pony will ever fully know the humans not even themselves. Does that answer your question?" Vinyl nods "I did not know humans where like that...so what one are you?" "I don't really know... humans never know what they are it's what you think I am." Suddenly, Blade and Vinyl here screaming. "THIS IS A ROBBERY GIVE US WHAT YOU GOT!" "vinyl what do we do I don't want to show myself" Vinyl looks over to Blade. "We will have to do something." "Fine" Blade pulls out a knife from his bag and gets up "I think you should stop now." "Ya? What are you going to do about it... wait are you a diamond dog? What the hell are you doing here?" Vinyl gets up "He's my friend, and he's not one to be taken lightly." Blade says in a low voice. "Diamond dog. Ha ya now we know what we say to ponies when they ask what I am." The robbers run attacking Blade and Vinyl. Blade jumps to the side cutting the robbers face. Vinyl bucking one of them knocking him out as Blade fights the robber dodging some of his attacks. Blade stabs the robber. "It's not too late to give up." Blade tries to get the robber to stop. "No it IS to late for you!" the robber rushes Blade. Blade dodges the robber grabbing the robber's mane and stabbing his neck the robber falls over slowly dying from blood loss. Blade walks next to Vinyl. "So there only you left, so what's it going to be you going to give up." The robber drops his weapon. "Some pony tie him up. I'm going back to my seat." Vinyl, and Blade walk back to their seat. She lies her head on Blades lap. A pony approaches Vinyl and Blade. "Hey... thanks for saving us." Blade replies "Your welcome now can Vinyl, and I get some sleep please?" "Sure one more thing. Are you a diamond dog?" "Yes. I am. Now please may we rest?" "Right sorry." The pony walks away. Vinyl looks up at blade and says, "Not much longer now." Blade pet's Vinyl's mane "Get some rest Vinyl." Vinyl goes to sleep on Blades lap the train comes to a slow stop. "We are coming to Appleloosia the train well be leaving in two hours next stop Saddle-Arabia." Blade tries to wake Vinyl. "Hey Vinyl, Vinyl get up the train stopped. We should go out, get some food, and look around." Vinyl slowly gets up. "Ok sure.' Blade and Vinyl get off the train. "You know, no matter what I never get used to seeing ponies, and not humans" Vinyl looks over to Blade. "Do you miss every one?" "Haha not in the least, but still it makes me sad to know I'm the only one here... enough talking about me. Let's get something to eat." Vinyl and Blade walk around getting some food enjoying sites enjoying their walk in an apple field "Hey Vinyl; I think we should head back to the train." "Ok let's go." Vinyl and Blade make their way back to the train 'ALL ABOARD!' Vinyl and Blade got there just in time. "Tickets please." Vinyl and Blade show their tickets "O.k you can go." They head in the train taking their seats. Blade smiles at Vinyl, and says, "Next stop Saddle Arabia every thing will soon be peaceful for a few years, and we can live happily in Pony ville." The train begins to move. Vinyl rubs Blade's chest, saying. "Not even a vampire for that long, and your welcoming it as you did me." "Hey...it was not easy welcoming a new life, but still I'm here today, happy, a new me; I have someone... pony that I love, now go to sleep, I will wake you when we arrive there." A few hours go by, and the train comes to a halt. "I think we're here. Vinyl get up were here." They walk off the train. "Blade, let's get a hotel." "Alright, but first, let's get a bite to eat... if you know what I mean I'm getting hungry." "Here you can have some of mine when we get to the hotel." A few minutes go by. Soon they find a nice hotel. "Blade come here." Vinyl shows her neck. "Are you sure Vinyl?" "Yes I am." Blade leans in biting Vinyl, drinking some of her blood. He takes his fangs out of her neck. "Are you ok vinyl?' "Ya, I'm fine that should help you until the concert." They slowly drift to sleep.
**Love last's forever.****Love last's forever.** Vinyl and Blade wake up the next day in the hotel. "O.k Blade let us head out to find a place to get the concert" Blade wakes up slowly, and gets everything ready. They set off to find a place to make the concert few hours go by, and they find a good place for it. They see a pony, and Vinyl trots up him. "Do you own this place?" The pony nods. "Why do you ask?" "Well my friend and I are hoping we could rent it for a concert. Maybe you know me im Vinyl Scratch, and this is my friend Blade. Don't mind him.' Blade looks away. "So can we rent it sir?" "Yes, you may. What sort of a concert are you holding?" Blade pulls out a poster. "It's a blood donation concert.' Blade says. '...what are you...' Vinyl walks in front of Blade. "He is a diamond dog, your fine. So can we unpack everything for the concert?" "Right, yes here let me, and some of my friends help you." The pony calls some of his friends over. They all head inside. The day quickly ends everything is set up Vinyl says to every pony, "Thanks for all the help. We still need help with hanging up the posters tomorrow if any pony would like to help." A stallion walks up. "I would love to help you. If you meet me here tomorrow I will gladly help you hang up the posters around the hot spots." "O.k thanks" Vinyl and Blade head back to the hotel. Vinyl looks over to Blade, "Well that was fast we soon will be done." "Ya and soon we can head back. Let's get to bed." They get to sleep for tomorrow. The next day was bright not a cloud in the sky. Vinyl wakes up seeing Blade was up before her getting some stuff ready. "Blade? How long have you been up?" Blade looks over to vinyl "Good morning, a few hours I guess just getting everything ready." "O.k, can I just go out to hang up the posters? You can make sure everything at the concert is ready." Blade nods and hands her the posters. Vinyls trots out the door to meet the stallion. "Good morning, do you have the posters?" Vinyl shows him the posters "Ah. Follow me, I'll show you some excellent places for them." Vinyl follows the stallion "So your friend. How did you meet him? If you don't mind my asking." "Well its a long story, and I really can't say." "Please forgive me for asking. So I know of you, and your music, and I have to say I'm very happy to be helping you, if there anything more you need, do let me know." "This is all good, but feel liberated to come to the concert. It is, in fact, free." "Cool, I well happily come." A few hours go by. Vinyl and the stallion hung up all the posters. "Now all that's left is the concert." Vinyl thinks to herself. She gets back to the hotel seeing Blades there. "I did not know you would be here." "Hey Vinyl, eeyup everything is ready to go... tomorrow night is going to be life changing, isn't it?' "Yup, I can't wait to, let's head to bed." "Already?" "Well we do have a long night tomorrow." "O.k" They head to bed as soon as they can. Blade wakes up seeing Vinyl still asleep he starts to get things ready. A few minutes go by, and Vinyl wakes up. "Good morning Vinyl. I got my stuff ready. Should we go?" "Ya let me get a drink, and then we may." Vinyl get's a drink. Later, that night they go to the concert. Seeing a lot of ponies wanting in, they get in through the back seeing the stallion that helped Vinyl. "Hello there." The stallion walks over to Vinyl holding one of her hooves, kissing it; Blade gets a little mad "This is not the time for that. We have fans who want in here." Blade says trying to get him away from Vinyl. "Mad are we?" Vinyl looks over to Blade giving him a troll face. "Yes a little, thank you, let's just get everything prepared." Blade gets everything set for the concert. "OK, everything is ready, Let's give them a show they will never forget." "OK LET THEM IN!" Blade says to get them to open the doors. Blade walks to the back out of sight." "YOU ALL READY TO LET THE BASS DROP!" the crowd roars! The music starts. A few hours go by the concert is coming to an end. "Thank you all for coming.' The stallion that helped Vinyl trots over to her. "Do you mind if I have this dance." A slow dance remix begins to play. "Um sure." Vinyl dances with the stallion. "I have never been this happy. To see a mare like you, will you like to live with me... here? I will give you everything you could ever want." "What... no I ca..." The stallion kisses Vinyl. Blade looks over to the dance floor. Seeing the stallion kissing Vinyl sends Blade into a frenzy. "LET GO OF HER!" Blade runs over punching the stallion so hard his fist indents his side. Every pony saw Blades cloak fall off. Seeing a human, and the dead stallion. Every pony tries to run. Blade still being in rage kills every pony as they try, and get away. Vinyl being weary of not drinking blood, she falls over. Watching vinyl fall over calms Blade down, he runs too her. "Vinyl please get up. I... blood, right." Blade bites into his arm opening vinyls mouth, his blood drips in. "Come on please." As blood drips into her mouth, she gets up, biting his arm. "Why did you do that Blade?" "I don't know I am sorry." "you know I only love you so why did you jump in killing every pony, why did you mess up everything? Vinyl gets up. "I need to be alone." Vinyl walks out of the back door, leaving Blade solely on the floor. 'I... I'm sorry I just... I didn't want to be alone... I did not want to lose you too." Blade sobs on the floor choking on tears. "I have to go before the guards get here." Blade gets up crying. "I can't go to the hotel... I can't I will just... hide until then." About an hour goes by, and Blade is still sad about what he did. Back at the hotel Vinyl is sitting down thinking. "I was a little harsh. I think I should go look for him before this gets more out of hand." Vinyl trots into the night to find Blade. "Oh, where are you Blade?" Vinyl finds Blade, asleep, in a corner. "Hey, Blade wake up." Blade slowly wakes up. "I thought you wanted to be alone." "we will talk later. Now we should leave here as soon as we can, come on, let's go." Blade follows Vinyl to a train that's about to leave. "Let's jump on." the two jump on to the moving train. "In here." They hide inside the caboose of the train. "Now we should be able to wait here until we get back to pony ville, and then we can talk." A day goes by the train comes to a stop at Pony ville "We are here, let's go Blade; Blade come on get up. When we get inside we need to talk." They jump off the train, and walk to their house "So what the hell was that all about? You're jumping in and killing every pony like that? It was supposed to be a clean operation." Blade looks over to Vinyl with tears in his eyes. "I did not want to be alone... you are all I have here. If I lose you, I lose everything. I know your mad, and I know you will not just forgive me. I... sorry." Blade run's out of the house. "Where are you going?" Vinyl follows Blade to a cave. She saw Blade crying, talking to himself. "She is not going to forgive me... It's all over. Everything... its all gone... no where to go. I'm alone again." Vinyl sits next to Blade. "Blade I want you to look around for me." Blade look around. "This is it this is my secret spot its beautiful isn't it?" Blade looked around seeing bushes of flowers all around, and the moonlight shines precisely hitting the mini waterfall that produced just enough light for them to be able to see in the dark. "Wow!" Blade says. "This is astonishing. It's beautiful..." Blade looks over at vinyl. "Vinyl... will you marry me?" Vinyl looked amazed. She was happier than ever. "Yes, I will." "Vinyl let's live here forever. We can build a house in this cave. It will be our home." From then on Blade and Vinyl lived in harmony, at no time will they become bothered again. They never killed another pony. They would find animals to feast on. The end.
