Love Bites Ch1: Once Bitten...
Love Bites Ch1:
Once Bitten...
“Holy Cerberus, Pinkie get down!” The elements of harmony, Spike, and Hunter were all in the apple orchards trying to find who was the one behind the new sting of dead apples after Twilight and Fluttershy were able to get the bats to stop sucking the juices out of the apples. It didn’t take very long before the gang found the answer as who was the culprit.
“Dude, what happened to Fluttershy,” Spike asked the group, ducking under from another one of Fluttershy's aerial dives.
“That’s not Fluttershy, that’s Flutterbat,” Rarity screech in horror, as Fluttershy took her aim towards the rest of the group.
After air sidestepping the furious sweeps, Rainbow flared out her wings ready to give pursuit. “Okay Flutters, you’re coming with me, and we’re going to fix this.” Fluttershy banked left to circle around and headed straight for Rainbow, knocking her off her intend course.
Fluttershy swept low to the ground, pulled up high above the tree-line, and released a monstrous screech that echoed throughout the orchards. The loud screeching was absolute pain to Hunter’s sensitive Chechen wolf ear’s. Before he- or anyone for that manner -could recover from the sonic assault, Fluttershy disappeared behind a canopy of apple trees.
“Is every pony okay,” Twilight asked, checking on her friends.
“Well I’m not a pony but I’m alright. Just give me a minute to stop the ringing in my head,” Hunter said shaking his head. Wolf ears were highly susceptible to sound so Fluttershy’s sonic attacks where the most painful thing to him right now.
“We don’t got a minute. Every second we stand around here, is just another second that she gets to steal my apples,” Applejack roared, not wanting to be the one responsible for an apple shortage. Every time she looked down to the ground and saw another dead pile of apples reminded her of the stories Granny Smith told her when she was a filly.
“Don’t worry Applejack, we’ll catch her,” Twilight reassured with the signature smile. “We just need a plan first.”
“Yeah here’s a plan. We find her, get her to stop eating my apples, and reverse the spell,” Applejack said growing more and more irritated by the second. “Now come on everyone.” Applejack started to walk in the direction where Fluttershy was last seen with everyone else following shortly after. Everyone had worried looks on their faces, rarely seeing their friend act like this.
Hunter use his longer legs to take a few more strides ahead of the group. “Applejack why the hell are you so worried about your apples,” Hunter asked in a whisper so the others wouldn’t hear.
Applejack scoffed but didn’t break her march through the orchards. “You know darn well why ah’m worried about my apples,” She said, her anger very evident on her face, and the others able caught onto what the two were whispering about. “I’m responsible for this here orchards and the ponies that it could- and should -feed.”
Hunter slightly growled in irritation towards the farm-mare. “And that’s a reason for it to be your top priority?” Hunter knew that Applejack had pride in her apples and her work but that wasn’t any reason to lose track of what is really important. “I mean Applejack, these apples can grow again no problem. Hell, even Fluttershy said that they will grow even better than before, thanks to the fruit bats.”
“Its because of them vermin that we’re in this mess,” Applejack retorted, it was obvious now that she didn’t care if the others could hear her or not. “Why do you even care about my apples?”
“Because Applejack apples,” Hunter scooped an dead apple off the ground. “can grow back. You could plant more apple seeds anytime you want and I know that apples are not the only thing ponies eat.”
Applejack stared Hunter down. “What’s your point, partner,” She asked flatly, not really wanting to hear with the wolf had to say.
“My point is,” Hunter started, he reached into the dead apple, and pulled out two small seeds. “apples can be regrown.” Hunter tossed the seeds up in the air and buried his fist into the soft dirt. “New trees can take root,” He caught the seeds and suck them deep into the ground. “and with time begin anew.” Hunter’s hand started to soft grow a forest-green before he removed it from the ground.
“Well that maybe true but it take forever before any of those seeds will be ready,” Applejack said, knowing much more about framing than any of her friends, or Hunter.
“Good thing that Chechen wolves know magic then,” Hunter said, walking away from the rest of the group as though he had already won the argument.
“Oh, oh lookie,” Pinkie said hopping towards the spot Hunter planted the seeds. When Applejack was able to tear her eyes away from the wolf, she looked at the spot, and her eyes widened when she saw that the freshly planted seeds were already growing into a new apple tree. “I didn’t know that wolves can use magic.”
“Neither did I Pinkie. Come on, we better catch up with him,” Twilight said, she and the rest of the group walked passed Applejack, who was stunned by the still growing apple plant. “Applejack you coming?”
“Yeah, I’ll...I’ll be right there.” Applejack started to make her way towards the rest of the group, not before looking back one more time, and finally understanding what Hunter really meant. Hang on, Fluttershy I’m coming. She started to run to catch up, that’s when she saw Hunter and the group peering behind a brush.
Hunter was the first one to hear Applejack approach. “Applejack get down,” He instructed, waving his hand down low to the ground. Applejack wasted no time to do what she was told to do, she crept up to the other and peered over the brush. She saw Fluttershy hanging upside down from a tree by her tail, her glare was intense and very distant, and it was hard to tell if she noticed them or not.
“So anyone got a plan,” Spike asked, daring to peek out from a tree, only to be scared stiff by Fluttershy shooting her fork-like tongue around an apple and sucking it dry in seconds.
“Man, that some tongue work,” Hunter whispered loud enough for the others to hear.
“Hunter, that’s your marefriend you’re talking about,” Twilight said, blushing after catching what Hunter was saying.
“What? It’s the truth,” Hunter said with a chuckle, him and Fluttershy have been dating for the last few weeks now, and on occasion had sex but nothing too extreme. At least to Hunter.
“Still though, now’s not the time for those kind of jokes. They’re just in bad taste,” Twilight scolded, shaking her head.
“You’re talking about ‘in bad taste,’” Hunter asked, a smirk all across his face.
Twilight was going to say something else in retort but was stopped by Rainbow. “I would give up Twi, Hunter knows way too many of those jokes to be stopped,” She said, having seen the wolf joke his way out of paying for a sack of grapes.
“I try, now what are we going to do about Shy,” Hunter asked, getting back to the task at hand. “It’s plainly obvious that walking up to her is not an option.” He peeked over the brush to only see Fluttershy’s steel gaze watching for anything that would move.
“We’re going to need a way to distract her long enough so I can cast the reserve spell.” Twilight said, thinking of anyways that they could achieve such a goal. “But how?”
“We’re going to need something that she really likes,” Rarity said, thinking of the many, many things that she knew Fluttershy liked. “Maybe a cute little farm animal?”
Hunter shook his head, knowing where Rarity was going. “Doubt it, look at her eyes. I don’t think a ‘cute little animal’ is going to keep them busy for long,” Hunter said, noticing the predatory gaze that Fluttershy was giving. “If anything they’re could make her more vicious.”
“Well it will have to be something that she care’s for more than us,” Rainbow said figuring that she and her friends wouldn’t fit the bill, since she attacked them.
“But what does Fluttershy care more about than us,” Pinkie asked, stroking her chin with her hand while wearing a detective's hat. Everyone ignored the hat and continued to think of anything that would get the job done.
Or maybe anyone…
Rarity’s ears perked up when a devious idea crept into her head. “Say girls, I got an idea,” She started, gaining the attention of the group.
“Well Rares, don’t leave us hanging. What ya got,” Applejack asked, willing to try anything that would help save her friend.
“What, or rather, who is the one thing Fluttershy has been talking about for weeks,” Rarity asked with a sly grin on her face.
It didn’t take two seconds for Hunter to realize what she was talking about and when he looked around it was obvious that the others came to the same conclusion. “Fine, I’ll be bait. Just be ready with that spell alright?” With a nod from Twilight, Hunter sighed, and started to slowly make his way towards Fluttershy.
“Such a brave soul,” Spike said, knowing that if he was in Hunter’s shoes that he would have put up much more of a fight.
Hunter took his time with each step, knowing that Fluttershy could take off at any moment, and they would have to start the chase all over again. Okay Hunter, easy now, Fluttershy has the mindset of a predator just like you, so she can think just as fast as you can. Hunter took a few more steps closer, that’s when he really noticed the subtle changes that Fluttershy went through. Her fur was much darker than before- almost to a shade of brown or black -her mane was wild and sporadic, and her blood-red eyes immediately drew all of Hunter’s attention. Much of her body was covered by her new bat wings only adding an alluring and mysterious attraction.
Hunter could feel his own predatory instincts kicking into gear just from laying eyes on Fluttershy. And through the mess of emotions and instincts, one thought reign true: Beautiful. Hunter forced himself to focus on the task at hand, he took in a deep breath, and readied to use Fluttershy’s untimed instincts to his advantage.
“Fluttershy,” Hunter said in a commanding voice, Fluttershy snapped her everlasting attention to Hunter, and let herself fall to the ground to face him. “You going to stop eating Applejack’s apples and you are going to get this fixed.” Hunter’s voice carried nothing but authority and power, that alphas like him would naturally possess. Fluttershy screeched in defiance, even through the pain Hunter reminded unmoving to the sensory attacks. The two locked their gazes, both looking for a moment of weakness from the other, and the perfect time to establish dominance.
Hunter spread out his legs, tightening the muscles and joints in them for a quick leap, while Fluttershy readied her wings. Silence overtook the fields as the two predators waited for the right moment. The air became thicker by each silent passing second, the others watched in anticipation for their two friends to make a move.
Twilight bit her lip, actually becoming worried that she wouldn’t be able to reverse the spell on Fluttershy, and she’ll be stuck having the mindset and cravings of the vampire fruit bats.
A dead apple spanned from a withered tree branch, breaking the silence. The two predators lunged at each other, claws, and fangs at the ready. Fluttershy was the first to make a move, she swung out her sharpen nails, but Hunter was much quicker than her and he still was in control of his instinct. He dodged under the attack, grabbed her arm, and swept his leg tripping her to the ground.
Hunter was quick to follow up by pinning her underneath him, careful not to hurt her wings; Fluttershy was still in there somewhere. “Twilight the spell, now!” Hunter struggled to keep Fluttershy pinned without hurting her.
Twilight and the others jumped from behind the bushes, she charged her horn getting ready to use the reverse spell that she learned just in case something like this did happen. “Hunter, I need a clear shot on Fluttershy,” Twilight said, the spell fully charged and ready to be used. Hunter tried his best to roll Fluttershy over, still careful with her wings, and give Twilight the best chance to fire the spell.
“Twilight take the shot,” Hunter said, forcing Fluttershy’s arms around his back. Fluttershy dug her nails into his fur, scratching the tough skin beneath, and drawing a bit of blood. Twilight fired the spell, making a direct hit to Fluttershy, and starting the reserving process not before Fluttershy dug her fangs into Hunter’s neck in a last ditch effort get free.
However Hunter was able to stick it through the pain long enough for the spell to take full effect. Everyone was blinded by bright white light, forcing them to shield their eyes. When the light finally faded away, the gang saw Fluttershy laying on top of a very exhausted looking Hunter.
Fluttershy slowly started to wake, a pounding headache, and stiffness in her wings blurred her senses. “What...where am I,” She asked, the last few hours being a faint blur.
“Fluttershy, you alright,” Hunter asked, worried for his marefriend, and unsure if the spell really worked.
“I’m fine, but what happened, and why are you bleeding,” Fluttershy asked, becoming more concern for Hunter than herself.
Hunter stained to sit up, Fluttershy took noticed of his struggles, and quickly got off of him but stayed at his side. “I’m fine, been through much worse when I was younger.” He waved off the minor injuries, easily could name many other times where he was hurt much worse.
It didn’t take much for Fluttershy to connect the dots and faintly piece together the events of the last few hours. “I-I did this...didn’t I,” She asked, choking back some tears. Fluttershy could never stand when someone got hurt, especially if it was her fault.
“No I did,” Twilight spoke up, ashamed that not just one, but two of her friends got hurt because of her magic. “I should have known that Fluttershy would have experience backlash from the spell.”
“No Twi, this is all my fault,” Applejack interrupted, her head hanging low from the shame of putting apples over her friend. “Fluttershy I should’ve listen to you. None of this would’ve happened if I had just made that bat sanctuary like you said. I’m mighty sorry.”
Fluttershy managed to got off the ground, with the help of Applejack and Rainbow. “Oh Applejack you were only doing what you thought was best for the orchard,” She said, whipping some of the dirt and dust off her ruined sweater and dress.
“The big and mighty Applejack, admitting she’s wrong. Where’s a camera when you need one,” Hunter joked, at some point he had removed his blood-stain jacket, and was now bare-chested in front of the mare and Spike. Rarity looked like she was going to faint just from glancing at the piece of male strength before her.
“Dude, put your jacket back on,” Spike said, seeing how Rarity was reacting. That and he didn’t want to shown up by Hunter even though they are years apart.
“Oh well excuse me, you want to be the one clean the blood off of this,” Hunter rhetorically asked, knowing that it was a real pain to get out when dried. “Bah, looks like I’m going to have to order a new work-jacket for the fall. Rarity by any chance…”
“I’m sorry Hunter but I’m overstocked with orders. So the chances are not within your favor,” Rarity said apologetically.
“Meh, I’ll make do.” Hunter stood up off the ground and started to brush off his black shorts. “Come on, let’s all go to bed, we’ll sort this,” He motioned to the dead orchard field. “tomorrow, I’m exhausted.” Hunter finished with a massive yawn and a few popping bones to empathize his point.
Everyone shared a good laugh but all too could feel the stain of the long day taking its toll. After a quick round of goodbyes, everyone went to their respective homes for the night, all promising to meet up bright and early tomorrow morning. Hunter and Fluttershy walked down the dirt road heading towards Fluttershy’s home.
“Well Shy, its been fun, I’ll see you tomorrow,” Hunter said, moving to give Fluttershy a quick on the lip, but instead was pulled into a powerful one by Fluttershy. Hunter was surprised by the kiss, he quickly recovered, and returned the kiss in full. He pulled Fluttershy close by the hip, adding his tongue into the kiss, and assumed dominance. Fluttershy ran her fingers through Hunter’s shaggy brown hair, her wings started to grow stiff, and she moaned into the kiss.
Fluttershy’s soft breasts pressed up against Hunter’s board chest. Hunter could feel Fluttershy’s nipples harden through her thin sweater only spurring him on even more. His hands began to trace in a small circle around the base of Fluttershy’s wing causing her to moan even more.
They shared the embrace for as long as their lungs would allow them to. When they parted a clear line of saliva leading from both of their lips. “Wow, Shy what’s-” Hunter was pulled into another kiss by Fluttershy, this one was one of want and need more than love, and Hunter could tell that Fluttershy most have been starting her heat soon.
“Hunter,” Fluttershy whispered into Hunter’s ear, her voice soft and soothing. “Could you stay here with me tonight? I’m worried that I may turn back into that bat again.” Her half lipped eyes betrayed her words, both of them knew why she really wanted him to stay.
“Sure Shy,” Hunter said following Fluttershy into her house. Hunter’s eyes trailed over Fluttershy’s back and wings, every inch of curve on her body just made her more attractive. He looked up to see Fluttershy smirking at him and it was obvious that she caught onto what he was looking at.
“Come on Hunter let’s go take a shower, I know I need one, and I could use one.” Fluttershy didn’t wait for Hunter to give an answer as she started to undress in front of him. She let out a sigh of relief when her chest was finally set free from it cotton confinement. She reached to undo her bra when Hunter stopped her.
“Let’s wait until we’re in the bathroom, wouldn’t want you animal friends seeing you get pounced on by me.” Hunter notice the prying eyes of a annoying fluffy-white bunny that would always find a way to cockblock him at every turn.
Fluttershy’s face immediately flushed when she noticed Angel sitting in a chair, munching on a carrot like he just caught his daughter doing something wrong with the neighborhood thug. “A-Angel, what are you doing up past your bedtime?” Fluttershy grabbed her sweater to cover herself up and used her mane to hind behind.
Angel remained stone-faced, simply raising an eyebrow at the two. Already tried of the pesky bunny’s presents, Hunter bent down trying to shoo away Angel. “You heard Fluttershy, beat it.” Angel still failed to move away from his seat. “Look Angel, I know you’re looking out for Fluttershy, but there are needs that you can’t ever satisfy.” Hunter stared down the small bunny, baring his fangs that could easily tear through Angel.
Angel started to hop away but not before kicking Hunter in the nose. “Why you little.” Angel hopped over to his little bunny hole that he used to sleep in and slammed the door. Why that little snack, if he wasn’t one of the most important things to Fluttershy, I would use him as a fucking sandwich. Hunter thought best against going with is instincts and he dropped the heated rivalry that Angel started with him since he started dating Fluttershy.
“Well that’s a mood-killer for ya,” Hunter said, joking about the bunny.
“I’m sorry,” Fluttershy said, realizing that it was her fault for not noticing Angel. It wouldn’t be the first time that he would walk in on the two during their affairs, Fluttershy knew that Angel was only acting this way to get more attention, and she wished he stop and realize that she too had needs.
Hunter pulled Fluttershy close, resting her head on his shoulder. “Hey Shy, its alright. We still got that shower to take.” Hunter really didn’t like to see Fluttershy sad or depressed about anything and he would do anything to make her smile again. Be it sitting through a lecture about animals, helping her out with picking up supplies, or even helping tending to the small creatures that he usually call lunch.
Fluttershy led Hunter to her main bathroom in her cottage, as it had the biggest tub, and could easily fit two more ponies. Hunter couldn’t help but notice that Fluttershy’s tail was moving from side to side, expressing her obvious excitement. They reached the bathroom up the stairs, Hunter opened the door allowing Fluttershy to go in first. He closed the door behind him and made sure that it was locked, so that Angel couldn’t walk in on them like the last three times.
Hunter helped Fluttershy undo the casing to her bra, letting it fall to the floor, and started to kiss along side her neck. Hunter slowly slid down Fluttershy’s skirt taking her panties with them. Fluttershy stepped out of her discarded clothes, turning around to meet Hunter’s lips, and started to undo the zipper of his pants.
With the last article of clothing removed from both of them, the two lovers stepped into the shower, and Hunter turned the setting to a agreeable warm. He grabbed a bottle of Fluttershy’s soap, squirting an excess amount in his hand, and put the bottle back down. He rubbed the pinkish soap into both hand, some of it dripped into the tub, but neither one cared or even really noticed.
“Turn around,” Hunter instructed, his calm and commanding voice sent a shiver down Fluttershy’s spine. Even with the warm water, rushing around them. She did as instructed and turn her back towards Hunter, trying her hardest to keep her wings in place. Hunter took a step closer to Fluttershy and begun to rub her sore shoulders.
Fluttershy moan a little as the stiffness started to melt away under Hunter’s gentle touch. He moved up to top of her back, going in small circles, and tracing down her spine to her wing-base. Fluttershy moans started to grow in volume, her wings stiffening up, and her knees going weak.
“H-Hunter...could w-we sit down,” She asked, afraid that she would fall in the tub due to the massage.
Hunter leaned closer to Fluttershy’s ear and she could feel his hard shaft brush up against her round end. “For you Fluttershy, anything.” Even though it was a low whisper, Fluttershy clearly heard it over the rushing shower water. They carefully shifted around in the large tub so that Hunter could sit down facing the water. As Fluttershy started to sit down, she aimed her marehood right at the tip of Hunter shaft, and pushed down.
Fluttershy’s wings promptly shot out upon pushing all the way down. Hunter allowed a moment for her to catch her breath before resuming washing her. Hunter slowly moved his hands over Fluttershy’s back and wings. Fluttershy purred under the gentle treatment, she started to rock her hips grinding on Hunter’s thick shaft, and slowly picking up speed.
Hunter moved to her chest, groping the large breasts, and rubbing her nipples with his thumbs. He moved a hand down to her well-toned abdomen, using his claws to tickle the skin beneath. Fluttershy started to giggle through her moans making her cuter than she already was. Hunter moved his hand further down and Fluttershy’s giggles turned into loud moans.
Hunter started to twist and pinch Fluttershy clit with a claw, savoring the sweet sounds that she was making. Hunter moved both of his hands to her hips, dragging the sharp claws along the way, and grabbing her thighs. He commenced to lift her up and down on his shaft, the water and her juices aided in lubricating her tight walls.
Fluttershy threw her head back from the pure pleasure of Hunter’s thrusting. “Hunter...I-I not…” Fluttershy could feel herself getting close to an orgasm, her loud moans only spurred Hunter on, and his thrusting began to pick up in speed and power.
Fluttershy couldn’t take it any more, her wall clenched tightly against Hunter’s shaft, and she was hit by a powerful orgasm. Fluttershy cries rained out over the forgotten cascading shower water. She fell back on Hunter’s chest gasping for breath, Hunter slowly rubbed her stomach to help calm her down from the high.
Just then Fluttershy felt the warm water turn slightly colder, the tub around her started to glow in a red hue, and she could feel her teeth sharpen. She went slight for a moment before turning around and locking Hunter’s lips in a kiss. He had no idea where she got the sudden burst of energy, usually it took her longer than a few short moments before she was ready to go again.
But he wasn’t going to complain.
Fluttershy started to rock her hips up and down the still harden shaft, already starting at a fast pace, and only picking up speed as she kept going. Hunter took her breasts into his hands again this time having more leverage to handle them. Fluttershy cried again in bliss, coming all the way to the tip of Hunter’s shaft, and slamming back down with more force each time. Hunter was too lost in the pleasure and too far into his instincts to noticed the sudden change to Fluttershy.
The repeated slamming, quickly brought Fluttershy close to another orgasm, and by the way Hunter’s shaft was throbbing he was close as well. “Yes...Hunter I’m...close again,” Fluttershy moaned out wrapping her arms around Hunter’s neck. He didn’t respond, as his primal instincts left on the ability for having sex, and breathing. Fluttershy didn’t know what was happening to her, a powerful desire of anything warm to fill the void that was leaving her hollow.
“Hunter...please cum inside of me…” With a last few thrusts, Hunter buried his shaft as far as it would go and, let fourth the torrent of hot creamy cum inside of Fluttershy, and sending her over the edge yet again. Fluttershy’s mind went completely numb, she sank her fangs into Hunter’s neck, and bit hard enough to draw small drops of blood.
Hunter winched from the slight pain but couldn’t do anything to stop Fluttershy from drinking the small drops of blood. She instantly passed out onto Hunter’s chest, leaving him to wonder just what has happened.
He looked down to the sleeping mare, the look of absolute peace spelled across her face. We’ll have to talk with Twilight tomorrow, after we help with the farm. He thought to himself, carefully he removed Fluttershy from him, and sat her down on the edge of the tub. He quickly turned off the water, grabbed Fluttershy, and slowly made his way towards her bedroom. He laid her gently onto the bed, careful not to hurt or damage her wings, and clawed in with her.
“Goodnight, Fluttershy.” Hunter kissed her on top of the forehead.
“Mmm...goodnight...Hunter,” Fluttershy said through her sleep. Both of them quickly fell to sleep, knowing that they had a full day ahead of them tomorrow, and a few questions for Twilight as while.
Sweet Apple Acres; Vampire Fruit Bat reserve
“And, done.” Hunter took a step back from his latest handy work. Whole acres of dead apple trees now stood tall and proud, giving more apples than the did before thanks to the seeds the bats and Fluttershy spitted out the night before.
He wiped away the bead of sweat on his forehead, taking a sense of pride from the impressive work he managed to do in the short few hours. “Wow, Hunter I didn’t know you had such a green thumb.” He heard Twilight’s voice call out from the side. Most of the elements pitched in to help replant the apple trees and set up a spot where the fruit bats could have all the apples that they could want.
“Yeah Wolfy, you never told us that wolves can use magic,” Pinkie said, bouncing towards Hunter, and handing him a juice-box.
“Heh, thanks.” Hunter took the juice-box and drank most of it before continuing. “To be honest not many wolves can use magic. You see, our closest relatives are the diamond dogs, bijou foxes. Most diamond dogs get their strength from us wolves while the bijou foxes get our magic from our blood.”
“So what, you’re like a diamond dog’s uncle,” Rainbow Dash asked, drinking from her own juice-box.
“Yes, and no. Yes: I am related to most diamond dogs, no: most of them don’t see us wolves as family relatives. It more like a hierarchy type deal,” Hunter did his best to explain canine relations. “So anyway, you mares done?”
“Yup, just finished the last little bit, and Twi’s magic is making them grow like crazy,” Applejack said, glad to see that there will be enough apples to last all winter, and then some. “Look Hunter, I wanted to apologize for how silly I was acting last night.” She took off her hat and bowed her head shamefully.
“Aww, no harm done Applejack. I’m just glad that the farm is okay,” Hunter waved off Applejacks worries, with a friendly tone.
“Well that’s good ta hear, hey where's Fluttershy? I wanted to tell her that I’m sorry for not listening to her in the first place.” Applejack noted that she was missing from this morning and figured that Hunter would knew.
“Oh um, Fluttershy still wasn’t feeling well this morning. So I just told her to stay home,” Hunter answered, knowing that it wasn’t the truth, but he didn’t want all of them worrying that Fluttershy had become a bat again.
When he and Fluttershy woke that morning, Hunter’s fears were confirmed that she had turned into a bat again, of sorts. Fluttershy’s fur did change color to the dark shade it was last night, her eyes changed into the red hue along with slitted pupils like Hunter’s, and the fangs remanded right where they were. The only thing that didn’t change was her wings and the desire for sucking on apples were gone as well.
“She not feeling well, or did you two go at it all night long,” Rainbow joked, causing her friends to blush at the thought of Fluttershy and Hunter going at it.
“Oh you know that you want to jump in on the action, Rainy,’” Hunter was quick to come up with a retort that the others didn’t have time to recover from Rainbow’s remark.
Rainbow’s face beaten a bright red when Hunter used a nickname only Fluttershy knew. “H-how did you know?” Rainbow never told anyone that nickname since flight school and the only time she would think about it is when she having…dreams about Fluttershy and Hunter.
“You know, its pretty dumb to sleep in public, and talk while you’re doing it,” Hunter said, with the smug smile, knowing that Rainbow have been having wet-dreams about him and Fluttershy for weeks now.
“I-I ummm...I got to go and do...umm…this thing for a trick way over there,” Rainbow stammered, her wings looking stiff, and flew off into the distance. Hunter started to laugh his head off at Rainbow’s reaction of being caught having lewd dreams about two of her friends.
“Hunter you weren’t serious about that right,” Twilight asked, hoping that Hunter was bluffing, and just trying to get under Rainbow’s skin.
“Nope, I’m hundred present telling the truth. Rainbow may have a thing for doing it in public,” Hunter said through his fits of laughter.
“Well umm...I’ve got to go and start getting some of these apples.” Applejack tried to hide her blush with her hat, only able to make small glances towards Hunter, and slowly made her way towards some other part of the aches.
“And the Cakes need my help at the shop.” Pinkie started to skip her way towards the bakery, though Hunter did see a little blush on her face. Even if it was just for a second.
“I guess Spike and I should be heading back to the library. I hope Fluttershy feel better Hunter,” Twilight said, placing a reassuring hand on Hunter’s shoulders, and despite the blush shot a genuine concern smile. Twilight and Spike started to make their way towards the library but Twilight was stopped by Hunter.
He saw his best chance to get Twilight without the suspicion of the others. “Actually Twilight, could you come check on Fluttershy? She didn’t seem herself this morning,” Hunter said, knowing that Twilight would do anything for a friend, no matter how small.
“Sure, if she that bad. Spike you go ahead while I check up on Fluttershy,” Twilight told Spike.
“Alright, tell Fluttershy I said hi.” Spike hurried off towards the library as fast as his leg could, at least, little legs seeing as how he was no older than ten.
“So, Hunter what the matter with Fluttershy,” Twilight asked, worried that it had something to do with the spell.
“I’ll tell you on the way,” Hunter said, walking towards Fluttershy’s cottage with Twilight close behind.
Edge of Everfree forest; Fluttershy’s cottage
Hunter pushed open the door to the cottage, he and Twilight were given a sight that was frightening, and yet -for Hunter- joyous. Fluttershy stood with Angel in her hands, from their perspective she had her fangs deep with in Angel’s body, but in reality Angel had just spilled some juice.
“Oh, Angel you really must be more careful,” Fluttershy scolded, pulling Angel away from her face, and inspecting the grape juice stain on the wooden floor below.
Damnit, why Cerberus. Just why? Hunter screamed in his head before stepping in behind Twilight. “Fluttershy, I’m back and I brought Twilight,” Hunter called out to Fluttershy, who was already at work cleaning the juice stain.
“Oh I know, I could smell you guys through the door,” Fluttershy said as though it was a normal everyday thing.
“Well geez, I know we’re sweaty, but we can’t be that sweaty.” Hunter lifted up an arm, to smell himself, and immediately pushed it closed. “Okay we may be that sweaty.”
“No, I don’t smell musk, I smell Twilight’s lavender soap, and the butterscotch soap we used last night.” Hunter and Twilight looked at each other, both with shocked looks on their faces.
“Fluttershy, have you been feeling alright this morning,” Hunter asked, placing a hand on Fluttershy’s shoulder, and stopping her from cleaning the stain.
“Y-yeah, I’ve been...I’ve been fine.” Hunter could tell that Fluttershy was lying and remained unmoved. Fluttershy caught the look in Hunter’s eyes, spelling out concern, and disapproval. “Oh Hunter,” Fluttershy buried her face in Hunter’s shoulder, a wave of tears came coming down her face. “I’ve been t-thinking of...of e-eating some of my animal friends…” The tears grew in volume. Hunter could hear the fear in Fluttershy’s voice and started to pull her closer trying to calm her down.
“It’s alright Fluttershy, that’s why I brought Twilight.” Hunter stoked Fluttershy’s mane, hoping that it will calm her down some more. “Twilight, you can fix this right?”
“I can try. Come on let-”
“Wait,” Fluttershy interrupted Twilight, pushing away from Hunter, and standing in front of the two. “I-I don’t want to change back.”
“What?” Both Twilight and Hunter started a Fluttershy, concern, worry, and confusion written all over their faces.
“I don’t want to change back.” Fluttershy shot a fanged smile at the two. “I’ve never felt so...so powerful before. I know its a lot to get used to but...I know I can do it.”
“Fluttershy,” Twilight started, placing a hand on her shoulder. “what about all of your animal friends? You just said that you been thinking about eating some of them.”
“I know Twilight, I’m going to say it scares me, but I’m sure that I can control it.”
“No,” Hunter said flatly making both mares look at him. “You can’t ‘control’ instincts by fighting them, that only makes them worse.” Fluttershy could tell by the way Hunter was speaking that he was talking from experience. “Fluttershy if you really want to stay like this, you’ve got to eat meat, and no fake meat will not work.”
“I...I understand,” Fluttershy said, a hint of sadness echoing from her voice, and fear for her animal friends.
“Now don’t be like that. There is a way around it, just got to start liking fish is all.” Hunter sat down on the couch, thinking of the best fishing holes in Everfree that’s close to Fluttershy’s cottage. “Should be pretty easy really, there’s a lake full of Goof fish that I usually got to.”
Fluttershy frown was quickly replaced with a wide and toothy smile. “Aww, not the Goof fish. They’re so cute.” She teased, taking a seat next to Hunter, and brushing her tail against his leg.
“Not as cute as you are,” Hunter said, pulling Fluttershy in for a kiss behind her mane.
Twilight was starting to feel really uncomfortable and out of place with the two lovers. “Ahem, I’ll umm...be going now. Spike must be worried about me and umm…yeah, hope this works out for you Fluttershy,” She said, spilling through the door, and leaving the two alone not like they noticed.
Hunter knew it will take a while for Fluttershy to get used to all of the new instincts that came with being a predator, he knew that there will be times where Fluttershy will have to do things that she never want to do, but he knew that she a stronger then she makes herself seem despite her shy personality.
I’ll protect you Fluttershy, my love. This is my vow, my promise to you.
