The rain fell heavy from the sky as the young stallion stared down at the mound of freshly disturbed dirt; not even bothering to hide the fact he was sobbing as the casket was lowered into the grave.

“Daddy.... Daddy

The graveyard attendants continued as he cried; none of them could be bothered to console him, and if it hadn’t been for the fact that they had been paid they wouldn't have even bothered with a funeral for Sky Shadow, but they had and so it was with contempt that they covered the casket with the soil and walked away from the grieving colt.

“Okay you got your service, now you need to come along with us.” A silver mare with a turquoise mane said coming up next to Neon and grabbing him by the hoof.

“Why should I, you don’t give a fuck about me so why don’t you just bend the law for once and leave me to myself! Neon spat as he tore his hoof out of the mare grip- glaring at her with all the venom his amethyst eyes could muster causing her to roll her eyes at him.

“Believe you me you fucking demon, I’d love to but as you said the law forbids minors being on their own until they are thirteen, now are you coming or are we going to have to beat you to an inch of your life. She hissed

“I’d love to see you try, if you hadn't been starving me for the last two weeks I’d fucking rip your throat out!” Neon screamed after he dove at the mare his fangs exposed and was quickly bucked away into the stone wall of the chapel.

“Let us teach you a lesson- be careful of what you wish for you may just get it.” She hissed as the other orphanage workers grabbed wooden staffs and beat Neon over the head until he passed out and was bleeding

For five years Neon lived at the Orphanage, and while they took care of him and gave him a roof over his head he was always kept an inch from final death and frenzy by the caretakers that were support to take the utmost care of him

Three Years after

Neon’s 16th birthday

The young Pegasus flew faster as he heard the shouts and the wing beats of the hunters behind him- he didn't know how they had seen him but they had and now the young teen prayed to anypony who would listen to help him.

“Please somepony help me!” He screamed to the skies as he felt one of the hunters catch up enough to clip him with a weapon and he began to bleed, soon it became too much for him and he collapsed in mid-air crashing with a sickening crunch, rolling, and then finally skidding into one of the buildings nearby

“Well now, what have we got here?” Cackled one of them as she stomped on Neon’s wing breaking each of the bones that weren't already shattered, and pulling out a long stake and some silver chains with her magic.

“Why do you always get to have the fun Lyra? “ Asked one of the cloaked and hooded hunters as they passed by her- frustration leaking from every word he spoke.

“Because I’m the leader and I’m the one with the magic here, your just here for hired muscle as for some reason you earth pony numb-skulls are stronger than everypony else and I still haven’t learn how to fly by magic so I need them.” Lyra hissed removing her hood so everyone could see her golden eyes glaring at them as she pointed at the Pegasi in the group “Now then.” She smirked as she turned back to Neon and positioned the stake above his heart. “I hope this hurts, have fun starving to death.” She then plunged the stake into Neon’s heart and then added the chains for good measure before her and her gang left to go find another vampony to slay.

“So that’s where they….” Cadence paused unable to finish her sentence as Neon stood on his hind legs to show her the massive scar over the center of his chest

“She was the first…. The pain is indescribable” Neon Replied returning to four hooves.

“But how did you survive?” Asked Cadence horrified

The Morning after

Neon couldn’t move as the stake and chains bound him to the ground

Am I going to die here….. It hurts ….. So hungry…… Thirsty …….. I guess ….. Dad He thought before he blacked out

Water hit Neon’s lips as slowly he came to and he noticed the feeling of having been healed by vampony magic.

“It seems that you’re coming around, so I guess Trixie wasn't too late” A voice from Neon’s left said and as he opened his eyes to find who was talking to him

“Would you like some waffles, Trixie is making some.” Trixie asked as she seen Neon’s eyes upon her taking in her azure coat and white mane.

“Why did you save me?” Neon asked weakly sitting up and taking the tray Trixie offered.

“Watch and you’ll understand.” Smiled Trixie and she began levitating blood around her head.

“You’re a Vampony too?” Neon asked

“Not just a vampony, a Tremere.” Smiled Trixie as she swallowed the blood and noticed the confused look on the young stallions face. “I take it your sire didn't explain the clans to you.”

“Sire?” Neon shook his head.

“The pony who embraced you.” Trixie said surprised but then began to get pissed when Neon continued to look lost “The pony who fucking bit you, seriously Trixie has never met somepony so stupid before!”

“I wasn't bit, I was born a Vampony.” Neon said a little put out from being screamed at.

“Born….. But is that even possible.” Trixie looked scared but then recovered. “So you've never had anypony to explain it to you; I mean normal ponies don’t really know much about us, how’d they take it when you first drank?” She asked smiling

“My dad took care of me, but my mother….” Said Neon before he started to cry

“Yeah I figured, all except you dad not ditching you too, so somepony kill him or what?” She asked not really doing anything to calm Neon down

“No, he was sick, Cancer.” Neon Replied

“Oh Trixie is sorry.” She said sadly

“It’s cool it was years ago, so can you explain what it is I need to know?” He asked polity.

Two weeks later

“You have everything Trixie gave you?” Trixie asked as she smiled and shook Neon’s hoof.

“Yeah thanks for all the information and teaching me how to use my powers, oh and for the place to heal and stuff.” Neon smiled as well

“No problem, good luck Neon.” Trixie smiled

“You as well Trixie.” He replied and left.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

So Trixie is the one who taught you how to control your power and about the world of vamponies.” Cadence smirked remembering what Twilight had told her about the Unicorn showmare.

“Yeah and I know that she did some bad things in Ponyville and stuff but she really isn't a bad vampony, she just really loves magic and showing people her powers.

“Well she did save you life so I guess she can’t be all bad, but we really should be going back; thanks for telling me about most of what happened to you.

“Well It’s all that really matters after Trixie taught me how to use the disciplines and how to turn invisible I never really had much trouble.

“Still I’m sorry.” Cadence sighed

“Thanks Cadence.” Smiled Neon as she hugged him and with a flash of pink magic they returned to the Castle
