Fall of Equestria: Blood Diamond

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.
