The dead move.

(*Pov of Blood drip.*)

"So you are telling us that Princess Luna, the believed to be deceased Princess Luna is alive; on the moon?" That was General Hardsteel, my jaw was to far crushed into the ground to speak. Quickshot was just kind of pacing around, shaking his head muttering about how everything he knows is a lie. My thoughts on the matter seemed to be the only positive ones, which is really quite odd because normally I am the pessimist. Princess Luna, the only one of the two that I worshipped was still alive, this was a dream come true.

Recovering from my suddenly heavy jaw, I decided to speak up about how this was a positive matter. "Hey, this is good news, she can come down here and help out everypony, while smashing skulls of course." I smiled at the thought.

Swifthooves looked towards me, grimacing slightly. "Uhm...not quite actually, she said she would not be able to get here for a long time."

"Okay, so we have to wait a couple of weeks, so what?" We could definitely survive that long.

"She is not going to be able to come back for hundreds of years Drip." My jaw was feeling very heavy again, resisting the urge to let it slam into the ground once again, I looked to him, I could feel a tear coming on in my right eye, hold it back dammit!

"D-don't call m-me drip." Shit, no waterworks, you're going to freak everypony out, no no no no no no.

"...........So that's why you're called Blood drip." Swift hooves was looking at me...not freaked out, then again you were now dealing with a zompony apocalypse, so bloody tears would be a bit less than scary I suppose. But then there was the Generals reaction and Quickshots...Quickshot was on top of the general...quivering, like a little bitch at that, and the general just seemed to not give a fuck, maybe Quick was just sensitive about seeing blood? No, if he was then he would not have joined the royal guard.

"Blood, what the fuck is going on, why are you crying, I have never seen you cry at anything, and you once saw a puppy get run over by a cart." Oh, so it was the actual crying, not the blood...okay then.

(*Pov of Swift hooves.*)

Cool, she cries blood, I mean, yeah it's really quite fucked up, but hey, still cool. I looked over towards Quickshot. "Blood, what the fuck is going on, why are you crying, I have never seen you cry at anything, and you once saw a puppy get run over by a cart." Well, that's a bit morbid, and depressing.

Okay so, now what do you do, sure you know where Rainstorm and Strong heart are at, but those two might not be able to ...handle these three. Oh well, they would have to deal with it. "Okay, so uhm...while I was, shall we say away, I found where my friends are at. I think we should go there and get them to come with us to...wherever we are going."

They all nodded in agreement, storm was rubbing her face in a bush to get rid of her tears, they were now just red splotches all over her face it was kind of...cute? Somehow? Ugh, now is not the time for silly little crushes.

"Which way are we heading?" That was Hard steel, he probably wanted to leave so quickly because of the possibility of something going wrong, things seemed to do that a lot more nowadays. I pointed with one of my hooves into the direction that I had walked earlier, they were just a few kilometers away from here, pretty easy trek... for me.

"How far away?" That was blood drip.

"Just a few kilometers. Not a big deal."

""Just a few kilometers, he says." "Not a big deal, he says." That was the general, he is the worst built for distance travel, what with being a unicorn, sure the suit helped to keep the weight off of him and then a little more extra strength, but it was still a pretty long trek for a unicorn.

"Oh come on general, this is easy, I am barely sweating." That was a blatant lie, Quickshot was making it rain sweat, I don't even know how, he still has his suit on...how is he flying with it on? How is the sweat leaking out? What the literal flying fuck?!

Blood and I looked fine though, she turned to me and had a little grin on her face, I think she wants to talk, she then trotted to my side,

"I didn't get my name from my blood tears ya know." That got me curious, how does one obtain a name like that then?

"Okay? Then how DID you?"

"I lived in Manehattan, as you probably know that is a terrible place to live as a little filly." I did not know, why would she say that it was so bad. "Well, my mom was a tad bit protective, but not in a traditional sense, nope, she trained we to use knives." Oh well...that's a pretty awesome mom. "On one of my many walks, I enjoyed taking walks deal with it." Why does she think I have a problem with it? "I was about to get raped."...Wait wait, WHAT! "Luckily I had a knife with me, and well...blood dripped. You look a bit shocked."

"No no, not at all, well aside from the "I was about to get raped part!""

"Hey keep it down."

"Fine, but still...how you just say it...without a care in the world...it's frightening."

Dammit, I knew he would not like how I told it, oh please do not let this ruin my chances, he seems like the only decent guy I'm gonna find, please just let him forget about it...dammit.
