Equestria has fallen, becoming a place of vice and lust. Where mares and females of all species are collared like beasts, and give the same rights as such. If the mares were lucky, they were simply made into sex slaves. But in the new world order there were some races who were interested in more than just sex.
On the edge of the Everfree Forest, one pony is about to discover one of these very species!
The Everfree Forest was a place where nature ruled itself, it did not need Pegasis to govern the weather, earth ponies to tend to the plants and animals, or Unicorns to... do whatever it is they did. The Ponies who lived in a world where every law of nature was overseen and controlled by some organization of Equestria feared and distrusted the forest, and so they tended to keep as far away from it as possible.
But since the Fall, ponies were finding the dangerous wilderness to be one of the only havens they could escape the caribou invaders, even with the risks that came from entering it. For the Jeweler family, they chose to live in such a place, where plants and monsters lashed out at any Caribou or corrupted pony who sought to enter the forest.
Diamond Jeweler was the head of the household, a young stallion of 24 years, his coat was a clear, icy blue color, with snow white mane and tail. He had married Emerald just days before the Fall. Emerald Jeweler was 22 years of age, and had a dark green coat with jade colored mane and tail.
Together, they had two children, a 4 year old filly named Sapphire, and a 5 year old colt named Jet. Sapphire had a dark blue coat, with black mane and tail, while Jet had a black coat with dark blue mane and tail. The family were all Earth Ponies, lacking magical powers or the ability to fly, they had to be exceedingly careful not to be found out by the invaders or their brain washed allies.
"Emerald, I'm back from hunting!" Diamond said as he entered the wooden cottage they had built for themselves over the last 5 years. He held a bag in his hands which revealed an assortment of fruits and vegetables as he emptied it on the dining room table. Apples, carrots, pears, oranges, and even corn were all piled on top of the table.
"Oh dear, you really put yourself at risk!" Emerald gasped, "Five different farms in one day?" She asked. Diammond nodded reluctantly. It was true, he had to scavenge crops from farms outside of the forest to feed his family, and taking from more than one field always increased the time he would be exposed, and the risk of being found out.
"I didn't catch anything the past two nights. I figured we'd make up for it." He replied, putting an arm around her shoulder, "I'm sorry we have to live like this, Emerald. But the only other way to live would turn me and Jet into monsters, and put you and Sapphire through endless trauma." He added, a hint of despair in his voice.
"I understand, dear." Emerald said, hugging him, "We do what we must to survive. But please, promise me you'll warn me next time you plan anything like this!" She begged. Diamond nodded and promised her before releasing her and calling to the rest of the home.
"Jet, Sapphire, I'm back!" He called as Emerald began to wash and clean the food he had brought home, preparing to serve it for dinner. The high pitched voices of excited children could be heard from upstairs before two young ponies descended into the room, rushing to hug their father.
"Daddy!" Sapphire squealed, as Diamond scooped her up with one arm. Jet simply smiled as his father ruffled his mane with his free hand. Even in such a grim place as this, Diamond refused to let his foals be unhappy whenever he could.
"Did you two finish your homework while I was gone?" Diamond asked, referring to the home schooling he was forced to give them now that public education had been bastardized beyond recognition.
"I did, but Jet had to help me!" Sapphire answered. Suddenly, Jet didn't seem so happy, but it wasn't about the comment.
"Dad, I just saw something by the window!" the black colt said in alarm. Immediately Diamond and Emerald snapped to attention. Diamond set his daughter down and instructed them to go back to their room and lock the doors and windows.
This wasn't the first time they had been on high alert, and so the children didn't protest as they scampered upstairs to lock themselves in. Emerald grabbed a kitchen knife she had been using to cut up the food, while Diamond grabbed a lumber axe he kept by the door for chopping firewood, and for defending his family.
"Who's out there?" Diamond shouted at the door. There was a sound of rustling leaves and a rush of wind, but no vocal reply. "I'm armed!" He warned. Suddenly a loud crash of glass came from upstairs, followed by the terrified shrieking of Sapphire, and the muffled sounds of a male's laughter.
"Sapphire!" Diamond shouted, flinging open the front door looking up to see the window to his children's bedroom had been smashed in, but his children were nowhere to be seen.
"Dad!" shouted Jet's voice off in the distance of the forest, causing Diamond to swirl in it's direction, only for the voice to come from another direction, this time sounding much closer. "Help!" he begged.
"What have you done with my children!?" Diamond shouted, hoisting the axe up as Emerald rushed outside, brandishing her knife. As she stepped outside, she screamed and pointed above her husband as he looked up to see what looked to be a fellow pony, holding his children by the throat, one in each hand. They were kicking and flailing in his grasp.
The pony had dusty gray fur, a silver colored mane and tail, and wings. But these were not the feathered wings of a standard pegasus, they were purple and leathery, and made hard swishing sounds as they flapped.
"Bat pony..." Diamond gasped in terror and disbelief. He was snapped back to attention when the monster above them began to speak. His voice was deep, and yet elegant, as if he chose his words carefully.
"You have such lovely children." He complimented, "But I see your daughter has no collar, you must not be part of the new regime." He mused. "That's good, those mind addled harlots have lost their natural flavor over time." He went on.
"Give me back my children!" Emerald shouted, waving the knife but to no effect. The bat pony simply laughed at her pitiful attempts to scare him when she couldn't even reach him. The creature moved as a blur and within the blink of an eye, he was behind Emerald. He held her knife hand in the air by the wrist, and pinned the other arm behind her back. She struggled against him, but his arms may as well have been steel vices with the amount of strength they possessed!
Jet and Sapphire had been discovered, their bodies laying on the grass, having been rendered unconscious as Sapphire rushed to check if they were fine. When he discovered they were only sleeping, he turned his attention back to Emerald.
"Please, we just want to be left alone, you don't have to do this..." He begged. The bat pony grinned at that, showing his predatory fangs that did not belong in the mouth of an herbivore species like ponies.
"Oh but you're wrong... Diamond Jeweler!" he said, shocking Diamond to know his identity was revealed to this stranger, "I told you earlier, did I not? The mindless slaves outside this forest are like processed food. Too many drugs and chemicals introduced, it dilutes the flavor. Now a free thinking, uncorrupted mare like yours..." He went on, trailing his tongue over Emerald's neck, making her shiver and squirm again.
"Well they're a dying breed! I'd be foolish to pass up such a rare delicacy!" he exclaimed before opening his mouth wide and chomping into Emerald's neck as she screamed in pain and terror. The bat pony began to quickly drain her blood, savoring the every drop.
"NOO!!" Diamond shouted at the top of his lungs before charging with his axe, intending to force him off his wife. He barely made it half way before the bat pony released her form his bite and threw her into the grass, then rushed Diamond in a blur of motion.
Diamond felt a sharp pain in his neck and then quickly lost consciousness as his body went limp and weak.
Diamond's consciousness came and went at random, he did not know how long he slept for. His mind was too foggy each time he awoke, and he often passed out again only seconds later. He was met with blurry sights of himself laying weak on the grassy field outside his house. The helpless body of his wife feeding the monster as he held her under him, biting into her neck once more. He even awoke long enough to meet the heart breaking sight of her being raped as her weak and feeble moans were drowned out by the bestial grunts and growls of the bat pony mounting her from behind.
The third fourth time he regained consciousness, he felt something being forced down his throat, warm and wet. He swallowed out of reflex, drinking whatever it was he was being forced to consume. He saw out of the corner of his vision that his wife was now dead. Her body laying in a heap, blood staining her neck, eyes rolled in her head, and mouth hanging open. He felt a new warm liquid this time coming from his eyes. Tears, he realized as his consciousness faded yet again.
The next time he awoke, he felt some of his strength returned. Enough for him to move around, but not enough to engage in any fights. He blinked the weary sleep from his eyes and rolled over, forcing himself onto all fours as he looked around. He spotted the bat pony who was holding Sapphire by the hair with one hand, and pinning her arms to her back with the other. Diamond Jeweler suddenly felt a surge of anger as he forced himself to his feet amidst a wave of dizziness.
"You're having a dizzy spell." The bat pony said, "It's a common side effect of starvation. But look, I saved one of them just for you!" he explained, tilting Sapphire's head to the side and making her squeak in pain from having her hair pulled.
Diamond was about to lash out at him when his body seized up and he found himself fixated on looking over his daughter's throat. He heard a fast pounding sound and instinctively knew it was her heartbeat. He saw the veins bulging under her coat as her pulse raced.
"Daddy... help me, please!" She whimpered, and before Diamond even knew what was happening, he dove forward and bit into his daughter's throat, his teeth sinking in with much greater ease than they were supposed to.
"Daddy, why!?" Sapphire yelled before her voice became quiet, and her breathing shallow. Within moments her heart slowed and eventually stopped before Diamond pulled himself away from her, and the monster before him dropped her lifeless body into the grass below.
"Congratulations, Diamond. You're a bat pony now!" He said in a taunting, malicious tone as Diamond gaped in shock at what he had just done. Suddenly a wave of agony washed through his body as he collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness yet again.
"The transformations are a little jarring..." the bat pony said casually, picking up the convulsing body of Diamond Jeweler and carrying him effortlessly off into the forest. The dead, cold forms of his wife and children laying out in the moonlit grass, blood caked on their necks, and mouths hanging open in terror.
End of Chapter 1.
Author's Note
I haven't done a horror story for a long time, so this may not be very good at first. Hopefully I'll get better with more practice.
Diamond sat up and gasped the biggest gulp of air he had ever taken. His body was stricken with aches and pains in various places, but they seemed to be fading now. Muscles he didn't recognize began to spasm on his back and he reached behind him to feel a pair of leathery wings had grown overnight. Slowly the memories of last night began to return to him as he went wide eyed in shock, reaching up to feel his mouth. A pair of fangs had been added, and as he looked down at his fingers, his noticed that his nails had become pointed and sharp, like claws.
He threw the blankets off his body in panic and saw that he was laying on a stone slab, not the warm bedding he was accustomed to. Fighting against the residual cramps, he raced to a nearby mirror that had been propped on the wall and looked at himself. There, standing in the mirror, was a bat pony that mocked his image. His ears were longer and pointer than they had previously been, tipped with 3 pointed tufts of fur. A pair of white wings the same color as his mane and tail unfolded and gave a couple flaps before folding over his back once more. Diamond didn't know how to react, how to think, and then the memory of him killing Sapphire came back to him, and he feel to his knees and screamed.
His lungs had been emptied of whatever air they contained before he stopped his wailing, and a voice from the other side of the room spoke out to him. He had been too panicked about his transformation to bother investigating before.
"Yes it's true, Diamond Jeweler." The voice said, "You're one of us now. A blood sucking monster, a creature of the night. A bat pony!" The voice sounded proud and excited by what it had just said, and as Diamond turned to face the voice, he noticed it was none other than the very monster who had done this to him.
"YOU!" Diamond roared and began to charge forward, before his vision blacked out and he went momentarily deaf. When his senses returned to him, he realized he had run smack dab into the wall on the other side of the room!
"You're faster now, Diamond. Your body hasn't had time to adjust, I wouldn't advise starting a fight with me." He explained as the enraged bat pony rose to his hooves and glared daggers at him. "Of course even if it was adjusted, I'm still far more experienced than you." He added.
Diamond looked around the room to see that they were apparently in some kind of crypt or a tomb. There was no light source that he could see, and yet the room was illuminated bright enough for him to see everything clearly. He already knew the reason behind that now.
"I am your sire." The monster began to introduce himself, "My name is Shadow Mist, and I'm here to correct you." He said with a fanged grin. When Diamond stared at him in disbelief, he went on with a more detailed explanation.
"Living in the forest is perfectly fine for a clever and resourceful stallion like yourself." he began, "But you have not been indoctrinated into the new world order, and we can not allow that. A stallion who thinks mares deserve to be equal and treated with respect is a laughing stock." he continued, making Diamond clench his fists in anger.
"Now I don't think the Caribou would have been so merciful, they might have simply killed you or wiped away your memories. But I've watched you steal crops from outside the forest for years without being spotted or captured. You're cunning, you're evasive, and you're quite resourceful. So I decided to make you one of the brood, rather than simply turn you in." He finished.
"I will never join you, monster! You raped my wife, you murdered my children, you turned me into an abomination!" Diamond lashed out. Shadow did not seem phased by his outburst, and continued to go on like normal.
"Actually I only killed your son. You killed your daughter." he corrected, "And you misunderstand the situation here. You're not an earth pony anymore and you can no longer live as one. You are a bat pony, and that comes with certain complications. Like so..." He clapped his hands twice and the door to the crypt opened with a wooden creak, drawing Diamond's attention to it.
As the door opened, a figure sauntered in, revealing itself to be a mare around Emerald's age. She had a black collar around her neck, but was otherwise completely naked. Her coat was bright yellow, and her mane was a sunny golden color. As she walked in cheerfully, Shadow Mist wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her against his body.
"This is Lemon Drops." He introduced her, "She's one of our newer slaves, and she will service you for your first night." He explained. "She had been ordered to remain in your crypt and offer her body and her blood to you whenever you need it. If she resists, you may punish her as you see fit, but do be careful. It's not illegal to kill her, but acquiring new slaves is a lengthy process for us." He finished.
Although Lemon Drops was putting on a cheerful act, Diamond could see in her eyes that she was terrified out of her mind. Every now and then when she thought they weren't paying attention, her eyes would flicker to look at the door, estimating how easy it would be to make a run for it.
Diamond was about to help her, but the Shadow Mist placed a claw to her shoulder and made a small cut, enough to draw blood, but not enough to cause any serious injuries. The sight of her blood seeping out caused Diamond's senses to go numb as he stared at the wound as if transfixed.
"You see?" Shadow Mist said, "The mere sight of it puts you into a stupor. If you tried to run now, you'd only degrade into a mindless, feral savage. You need my guidance!" he explained as he beckoned him over. "Come, drink, and I shall teach you." He offered.
Diamond couldn't stop himself, just like when he drained Sapphire. He found himself approaching as if in a daze and wrapped his lips over the mare's wound, greedily sucking at it as she squeaked out a whimper, quickly masked by a moan.
"Pace yourself, Diamond. You'd be surprised how quickly we can kill them." Shadow Mist instructed. Despite all his other senses going numb and hazy, the bat pony's voice still came in clear and audible, though Diamond could not explain why.
Focusing on Shadow's voice, Diamond summoned up the willpower to stop feeding, and released Lemon Drops from his mouth. He watched in surprise as her cut shoulder began to quickly heal itself.
"An effect of our saliva." Shadow Mist said, "Stops our slaves from bleeding out when we're done." he explained, releasing his grip on the mare. "Stay in this room!" he ordered her before turning to Diamond, "It's time you met the brood." He said.
"Yes, master." Lemon Drops replied with a bow, as she stood complacent in the crypt. Shadow Mist took Diamond Jeweler's hand and lead him towards the door as Lemon tried to secretly massage her shoulder when she thought the stallions weren't looking.
As they were lead out of the door, Diamond found that it was a crypt like he had suspected. The door lead to a set of stairs leading up to some manner of graveyard. There were tombs and crypts scattered about the area with broken and weathered tomb stones in front of empty graves.
"Only the elders get to sleep in a crypt or tomb." Shadow said, "The young ones like you have to sleep down there." he went on, pointing to one of the graves. Down at the bottom was a coffin that looked to be in prestine condition, as if it were made for a brand new grave. Diamond was about to protest, when he was attracted to the sounds of cheers further on ahead, it sounded like a party was going on.
"Ah, that would be the brood. Come on." Shadow said, leading him further through the graveyard. He was surprised by how big it was, they had walked for at least a couple minutes before coming upon the sight of a crumbling, ancient looking temple, and the cheering sounds were louder from within.
"In ancient times, this was once a temple to some sort of moon deity. But when the forest was abandoned, we were allowed to claim it for ourselves." Shadow said as the doors burst open and a naked mare ran out laughing excitedly.
Soon after her, she was followed by two bat pony stallions who grabbed her by the arms and pinned her to the wet grass beneath her. One of them sang his fangs into her right breast, while the other bit into her left thigh. She yelped in pain for a moment, and then started moaning and squirming as they consumed her life.
"She's enjoying it?" Diamond asked in stunned disbelief as he hesitantly began ascending the stairs to the temple, keeping his gaze locked on the monsters and listening to their sucking gulps.
"When we aren't trying to rip a vein out, a bat pony's bite is quite euphoric, or so I've been told by our less resistant victims." Shadow replied as they reached the top of the stairs and he opened the door, greeting Diamond to a shocking sight.
Inside the temple was what he could only describe as a blood orgy. Naked mares were chained to the wall, tied to wooden posts, or strapped down onto stone altars as they were raped and devoured by lustful bat ponies. Although their wounds had been healed over, the mares sported bruises on their necks, wrists and other places that showed where they had been repeatedly bitten and drained from. The mares who were bound up all had black collars, but he also saw red collared mares roaming about freely as they offered themselves up to any stallion who desired them.
"Yes, things can get pretty wild here." Shadow commented off hand. Diamond could scarcely believe the sight before him. It should have horrified him, but as he saw the helpless, bloody forms of the restrained women, his lips pulled back as he bared his fangs. He suddenly realized what he was doing and held a hand up to his mouth, trying to regain his composure.
"Everyone!" Shadow Mist spoke up, attracting the attention of the bat ponies who stopped their feeding and raping to give him their attention. "This is Diamond Jeweler, and he's going to be a part of our brood now!" he introduced Diamond to the group.
"Well here's a toast to the new blood!" shouted a bat pony from across the room, holding a mare up in the air before biting into her wrist. Some of the others laughed, some cheered, and others mimicked the gesture.
Suddenly Diamond noticed two mares crawling towards him on all fours, they both had purple collars and vacant looks in their eyes. Their mouths hung open in dreamy smiles, tongues lolling out as they approached him. One of the purple collared mares held a wrist up to Diamond as if inviting him to bite her, the other began to fiddle with his pants, freeing his stallionhood and wrapping her mouth around it.
"Looks like the slaves have taken a liking to you." Shadow joked as Diamond didn't know how to respond to the addled mare who had unceremoniously began to suck him off.
"N-No! Get OFF ME!" Diamond protested, shoving the purple collared mare away from his crotch and sending her sprawling across the stone floor. He was shocked by his strength and was afraid he had injured her. But within moments she was back on all fours and crawling over to another stallion, beginning to suck him off just like she had attempted with him.
Diamond blinked away his confusion then turned and ran back out of the crypt, his senses becoming a blur as he moved with speed he didn't think possible.
"Oh I may have forgotten to mention he used to be a member of the resistance." Shadow said, turning to the other stallions who looked at him in shock. "So, you know, its going to take some getting used to for him." He finished.
"You're a sick fuck, Shadow Mist." said the same stallion who had provided the toast earlier, "But you do know how to provide entertainment!" he added, getting the whole brood to laugh, returning to their blood orgy.
