I slept for the rest of the day and when I awoke, it was just after what most ponies call supper time. It was strange waking up to the sun setting, yet I felt relaxed. Well I am nocturnal now... I thought as I pulled on my hoodie and jeans.

Looking in the mirror, I couldn't help but chuckle at just how absurd a pair of fangs looks on a pony. Well I suppose I'm ready for Nightmare Night at least. I thought as I made a bunch of silly faces in the mirror. I chuckled as I cast the illusion spell to hide my fangs, before walking down the stairs.

"Spike?" I called out as I trotted down the stairs. I didn't see him in the main part of the lobby.

"In here Twi!" I heard him call from what I've nicknamed the reading area. It’s essentially an alcove near the back of the library that the shelves hide from view unless you get close. The previous librarian had covered the floor in very comfortable cushions and added a few small reading stands, making it a cozy place to enjoy a good book. She also put the most boring books in the library (Equestrian language study) in the area around the entrance to lessen the number of ponies who knew about it. All in all, it was a good spot to relax if you didn't want to be disturbed.

"There you are." I said chuckling, not expecting him to be back there.

"Have a good sleep?" He asked, chuckling as he walked out of the alcove holding a book.

"Yeah, slow day today?" I asked as he gave me a hug. "What are you reading?"

"Yeah, not much in the way of book borrowing today. What this? Probably the reason why I didn't pull an Applejack when you came crashing in this morning." He said with a chuckle. "It's a series about vamponies. It's kind of hard to explain, but it is an exciting read if you can keep up with what's going on."

"Hellsing huh?" I smiled as I read the title. "I can't say I've heard of it."

"Neither had I up until a few days ago." Spike said as he headed for the kitchen. "You eating here or heading to AJ's? I heard you two talking at the end there."

"Oh... yeah I was going to head over there." I said sheepishly.

"I only caught that you were going over there, anything else ain't my business." His tone implied that he had heard more but he wasn't about to say anything. "I'll just say that you're asleep. Magic overuse from the whole Elements of Harmony thing or something."

"Thanks Spike, I don't know what I'd do without you right now."

"Probably have a nervous breakdown." He said chuckling. "Remember last time Celestia mentioned your homework was overdue?"

"Let's not ever talk about that again." I deadpanned, heading out the door followed by Spike's laughter.

I pulled my hood up as I glanced either way down the street, and seeing no-pony, I jumped up onto the roof of the nearest house and took off over the rooftops again. This is weird, but fun. I can see why Dash likes flying fast. I thought as I hopped from house to house, only landing long enough to jump to the next roof. I pulled a few zigzags across the relatively small backyards below me before I jumped down at the end of the street, giggling a little after the momentary rush of jumping down from a two story building. I glanced around to make sure no-pony had seen that and started walking towards Sweet Apple Acres, humming a tune to myself, thinking that trying that in Canterlot would be a lot of fun thanks to its many tall buildings.

I was snapped out of my good mood by the sound of wings. Celestia damn it, the pegasi are back. I didn’t want to be identified, and thinking back to a spell a friend of mine in Canterlot had taught me, changed my mane and tail to a black with blue stripes. My coat took on a dark grey color and my cutie mark was hidden by the image of a moon. No sense in taking an unnecessary risk. I'm supposed to be asleep after all. I thought as I heard the wings get closer. I hope that isn't...

"That was AWESOME!" A familiar tomboyish voice said as its rainbow-maned owner got within earshot.

Rainbow Dash... Celestia impale me on your horn.

"How did you land that without wings? I mean, I doubt Twilight could have managed that and she's Celestia's student!"

I merely shrugged, and said in a false Coltic accent, " 'snot too hard, wit' a'nough practice."

"Still, you landed like you only jumped a foot or two!" She said, trying to get a glimpse of my face. "Just who are you anyway?"

"Tha's fer me ta' know and fer you ta' find out." I said, a slight grin on my face as I suddenly shot forward, pouring on the speed, leaving the shocked pegasus coughing in a small dust cloud. Now to lose her. I thought, the thrill of the chase returning as I heard a faint "GET BACK HERE!" from behind me as I ran. The dirt road blurred beneath my hooves as I sped along the path. I hope AJ has a place for me to hide from Dash if I can't lose her... no wait, I'll just hide somewhere, AJ can't lie worth a buck. I thought as the Acres came into view, and I aimed for the nearest trees of the orchard.

I could hear Dash's wing beats getting closer as I reached the tree line. She may have speed over me, but I can out turn her down here. I kicked off of a tree, taking a hairpin turn away from the barn, only to kick off two more trees and zip back towards the barn. I risked a look over my shoulder to where Dash was speeding off in the other direction. I smirked as I ran to the barn, hiding in the shadow of a hay bale.

I could see Dash weaving back and forth over the orchard. I waited for the right moment and dug my way into a nearby haystack, undoing the spell I cast on my tail. Phew, finally safe.

"Twilight? Who are you hiding from?" I heard the voice of Applebloom whispered from beside me in the hay bale causing me to tense up in fright.

"Rainbow Dash, now shhh." I said once I calmed down. Rainbow Dash soon gave up the search and flew off back to Ponyville. "Now who are you hiding from?"

"Scootaloo. Rarity set up a sleepover with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle here at the acres. We're playing hide and seek." Applebloom replied giggling a little. "Ah don't think she's gonna look in here though, Sweetie is hiding in the barn. Ah got her to hide in a hole in the wall and had Winona lie in front of it. She's never gonna find us."

"Good one Applebloom." I said chuckling as I saw Applejack step out from the house. I can't have her say anything about me with the girls hanging around... I need to let her know they're here... I know. "Heeey, wanna scare AJ?" I said smirking, although I doubt she could see.

"Ah'm game, what do we need to do?"

"Wait until she gets close, and then I'll cast a spell to amplify your voice. I want you to jump out and yell ‘Boo’. Got it?"

"Got it. This is gonna be payback for the shower head..."

"What about the shower head?"

"She filled it with juice powder. Ah thought it was blood." Applebloom said sheepishly.

I snickered as Applejack drew near. "Get ready." I said. "Three... Two... One..."

The orange farm pony was right beside the hay bale when Applebloom launched herself out in a tackle-hug yelling "BOO!" I decided against the amplification spell at that range and simply cast a party popper, a novelty spell that sets off a small bang and a bright flash, instead.

"AH!" Applejack yelped, jumping a few feet in the air and away from the hay bale, her sister rolling on the ground giggling along with me as I climbed out from the hay bale. "What in Tarnation? Twi? You were in on that?"

"Sorry AJ, too perfect." I said between breaths. "Besides, it sounded like Scootaloo needed some help finding Sweetie and Applebloom." I said chuckling.

"Aw horsefeathers." Applebloom bolted towards the barn as a faint buzzing could be heard, and soon an orange pegasus filly went speeding by on a scooter, heading for the barn.

"You two got me good there Twi,' Ah'll give ya that." Applejack said, nodding towards a path that led out from behind the barn. "Ah take it she told you about the shower head?" She said as we walked off down the path, the chatter of the three fillies in the barn fading with distance.

"Yeah, that's a classic dorm prank, although it’s best if you use colorless juice, that way the victim's fur is all matted after it dries."

"Ooh, good idea." Applejack said. "That was also a good way to let me know that those three were around. Ah didn't know where they were playin’."

"Not a problem. So what's this way anyhow?"

"Ah built a small hut by a clear water pond out this way. A barrel of fertilizer fell into it a year ago and the overgrowth of algae killed off all the life in the pond as the green stuff took all the nutrients out of it. We dumped a bunch of salt in there because it smelled so bad and now it's a dead pond, but it shore is nice for a swim and to get away from th' others." Applejack said. "Ah still can't believe Ah agreed to this."

"You can still back out." I said. "I'd find some way..."

"Nah, Ah said Ah would and Ah'm a mare of mah word," she said as the small pond came into view, a small hut sat on the far bank, it looked like it would be big enough to house three or four ponies comfortably. "Besides, we got privacy out here. This is mah private spot. Mac an' 'Bloom stay away from here, and Ah stay away from their spots. We all need some private time 'round here, Ah mean you can only live with 'em for so long until they get on yer nerves." She said with a chuckle.

I smiled as the moon rose above the pond, its reflection in the mirror like pond adding to the beauty of the scene. "It's beautiful." I said smiling. "Thanks for showing this to me."

"Not a problem sugarcube. If ya'll need a place to crash away from Ponyville, go ahead and come here, jus' let me know first."

"Will do AJ." I said as we trotted around the lake.

"So what all is true from the legends?" Applejack asked

"Well... So far I've found out that I can see and hear really well, run really fast, jump really high, and that I need blood to survive. Luna mentioned something about dark magic, me being nocturnal, and that most of the myths come from attempts to remake the spell that was used on me."

"Sounds like it ain't all that bad, well sides the blood part that is." Applejack said as we stepped into the hut. "Er, Twi', mind lightin’ up that horn 'o yers, I can't find the tinderbox and lamp."

"I got it AJ." I levitated the items over to her, and then created a werelight. "I can also see better in the dark, and it could be worse I suppose. I could be like in the legends." I sighed as she walked over to a cast iron stove in one of the corners.

"Ya see? Ya just gotta look on the bright side o' things." She said as she managed to get a fire going in the stove. "B'sides, you have your friends still don'tcha."

"Yeah, I'm just worried how some of them will react." I said sitting on one of the cushions that were scattered across the floor. "I mean, I bet Rarity would panic."

"Oh Ah doubt it. She seems madly obsessed with vampires ever since that Celestia-damned Daybreak story came out. Ah tried reading it, Ah don't get how ponies like that kind of sappy romance stuff."

"Right, I remember hearing about that one." I said with a grimace. "I know it's not what I'd read."

"It's just awful." Applejack said as she lit the lamp using a burning stick, allowing me to extinguish the werelight. She then walked over to me. "Ya can take those clothes off Sugarcube, ain't no pony gonna bother us." She said as she lay down on the cushion next to me. "B'sides they don't exactly look all that comfortable

"I'm used to them, but sure. Besides it's going to get warm in here thanks to that stove." I removed the jeans before the hoodie and tossed them into a corner by the door. "Mind if I drop the illusion spell too?"

"Nah. B'sides Ah may as well git used to those teeth 'o yours." She said.

I dropped the spell and the two white points faded back into view. Applejack giggled after a moment of silence. "What?" I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.

"Nothing really, Ah was just thinkin’ how odd a pony looks with fangs." She said and I made a stupid face for the hell of it, causing us both to start giggling.

"Yeah I thought the same thing too when I woke up." I said, shifting closer to Applejack. I winced as I heard her heartbeat again, my instincts telling me that I needed to drink. How should I tell her... well time to wing it I suppose... "You remember how I said I was afraid I would hurt you earlier?"

"Yeah, Ah was wondering about that today. Was it just b'cause you're a vampony or was it because of something else?"

"A little of column A, a little of column B." I said. "Earlier as I was watching you work what spooked me into leaving was the fact that I could hear your heartbeat and I felt the need to... you know." I said, Applejack looking surprised.

"Wow... you sure got good ears now Twi'." Applejack said, and then stood up again. "Well, may as well deal with the problem at hoof." She said moving right next to me and leaning up against my side. I was sweating a little at that point, a combination of the heat from the stove and nerves, worried about what I was about to do.

"Y-yeah." I said. I can't believe I'm doing this, it just seems so wrong... yet right at the same time...

"So yer sure it's not going to hurt?" Applejack said as she took off her Stetson, probably to avoid getting blood on her hat.

"Yeah, If Luna was telling the truth, it should be rather..." I couldn't help but blush as I finished my sentence, embarrassment seeping into my voice. "Pleasurable for both parties."

I could hear her hear beat a bit faster. "Well… let's get this over an' done with." She said, exposing her neck to me.

I hesitated as I lowered my mouth to her neck. Thousands of "What if's" coursing through my mind as I felt my lips brush the fur on her neck. "You're sure you're all right with this?" I asked once more, my voice almost a whisper.

"Just do it sugarcube." She said, bracing herself.

"Okay." I said, placing my mouth on her neck, instinctively knowing where the artery was. I could feel her shaking a little, and I found a small amount of guilty pleasure in the fact that she was completely at my mercy.

I bit down softly, trying to cause as little pain as I could. I felt her tense up beneath me as my fangs pierced her skin, a small moan escaping her lips as the first drops of blood hit my tongue.

I was not at all prepared for the taste of it. Her blood tasted like the juice from the finest apples, picked at the perfect time in harvest and squeezed fresh into the glass. I knew it should have tasted different, but I was too lost in the explosion of flavor to care. I began to suck, the blood flowing in small rivulets from around my fangs, causing Applejack to moan a bit louder.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I let go, worried I had hurt her. "You all right?" I asked, still reeling from the intense flavor of her blood.

"Keep goin’ Twi'." She said, turning to me, a gleam of lust in her eye and a small smirk on her face. "Ah doubt that was enough." I could smell her arousal clearly now that I wasn't distracted. "But first, that's a little uncomfortable." She said rolling onto her back, her hair splayed out on the soft cushion below us. I didn't notice her removing her hairbands when she took off her Stetson, but I could see the red rings of elastic fabric lying beside it. "Ah think you should know Twi', Ah'm not exactly into... stallions..." She said sheepishly.

"Really?" I said as I climbed onto her, nuzzling her cheek and noticing that the bite wound was already healed.

"Yeah... I just realized it a few weeks ago, but..." she said, sounding a bit afraid.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it quiet." I said giving her a hug, pinning her forehooves between us. "Mind if I continue?"

"Go ahead." She said, brushing a hoof against my marehood which caused me to gasp.

I bit down again, this time getting the same rush of flavor, but with a wave of pleasure as well. I felt Applejack squirm underneath me, moaning quietly. I sucked gently, the blood trickling slowly into my mouth. I could feel myself becoming more aroused as the waves of pleasure coursed through me, causing my whole body to tingle. I felt Applejack start to pant as she moaned louder, her hooves getting to work on me, causing me to moan into her neck.

"By the moon Twi,' Don't stop!" She panted out as I snaked a hoof between us, beginning to caress her folds, the orange mare beneath me squirming as she returned the favor, causing me to do the same. I let go of her neck and slid up her body, making my lips meet hers, as we both got closer. I could hear her heart rate speed up as her moans grew in pitch along with mine as we both reached the edge of climax.

I broke the kiss and bit down once more, feeling Applejack's whole body tense as her mouth opened in a silent scream as I drank, my own body seizing up with my own climax.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

We stayed locked like that for what seemed to be hours, but couldn't have been more than a few moments before I released her neck and flopped off to the side, feeling full and content in the afterglow. Applejack laid panting beside me, covered in sweat and twitching, the sensations still coursing through her.

"Sweet Celestia..." She panted. "That was just... Wow."

"Yeah." I said, hugging her.

"Ah don't think Ah'll mind being your blood donor if that's how it is every time." She said, returning the hug and kissing me.

"Me neither." I said, kissing her once more. "Your blood tastes like apples." I said giggling, gaining a deadpan from Applejack.

"Really?" She said smiling at me. "Who would have guessed?" she said sarcastically before breaking down into laughter as well. After we caught our breath, we just sat there for a moment, enjoying each other’s company. The silence was broken by a yawn from Applejack.

"Tired?" I asked, hugging her again.

"Yeah, just a little." She said hugging me once more.

"Me too. That was intense." I said, getting up and turning off the lamp as Applejack pulled out a blanket from under another nearby cushion. I went back and lay down beside her, my head resting on the soft yet firm muscles of her belly, soon nodding off to the rhythmic sounds of her heart and her breathing.
