Cyana was standing at the location mentioned in the letter, “we have prepared a location” she quoted the letter in her head, this is not just a location this is a lonely old freaking mansion!
On a freaking cliff, have I been pushed into a bad horror movie?

The clouds felt heavy this early in the morning and the first few drops felt as Cyana was still at the old smith iron gate, couple hundred feet away of the actual building.

“Oh come on that is just bad cliché” she said out loud,” I bet he hired some Pegasei for that effect”.

Cyana rang the doorbell, or more likely the gate bell.
A crackled voice came out of a box under the bell.”Hello, who is there?” a old colt was asking.

”My name is Cyana, is this the mansion of Lord Flankburg?” Cyana asked.

“Ah Lady Cyana we already awaited your arrival. I am letting you in ,just a moment” the old colt said with joy and hung up.

Wait what Lady? Since I got a title? Cyana was confused.
After one minute passed none showed up and the rain purred down on the unlucky mare.

“ I would love it”she quoted out the letter.

Finally after 5 minutes an old colt with umbrella came out the mansion, walking down in generally slow paste. After another four minutes the colt have reached Cyana, he was an earthpony, had a brown fur and was half bald, the colour of his remaining “mane” was already greyed out. Cyana was wet to the bones and just smirked at the umbrella as it was another farce.
I hate this place she thought.

“I apologise for my speed, milady ,but my legs aren’t what they used to be” he said as he fish after the right key for the gate. The keyring had a sice of a ponyhead and was nearly filled with all sorts of keys in all shapes and colours.
After another three minutes he was still searching.
Cyana eyes began to twitch. Okay I am a hungry, horny, drenched, annoyed Vampone now but it is not his fault.
Dont blame him , but by Celestias cake, if he don’t find the right key in the next 30 seconds I will tear this whole place down. “Woops, I might got the wrong keyring here, just wait here untill iam back”.
That was the boiling point, Cyana raised on her hindleggs and pushed herself against the gate, with the result of her falling with the gate in her hooves into a mud puddle in front of her. The colt just stepped out of her path.

"Patience is a virtue",he chuckled.

* * * * * *

On the way inside and to the bathroom the colt,James was his name, explained to Cyana that this was just the summer residence of Roland, and that it would be the smallest one.
Seriously how much money does that guy just have? She thought while playing with a bubble in the bathtub.
He also explained that Roland was travelling around the world to find a certain item, but even James didn’t knew what it is. James is also not a Vampone, he simply refused the offer of Roland.

“WHAT IS IT WITH THIS BATHROOM THAT PLACE IS BIG AS A SPA”She yelled, but only her echo answered her.

“well milady you are certainly full of energy, but the Lord told us you might be hungry, I also want to inform you that the others are waiting for you in the dining room”.

Cyana blushed and dived down.

As Cyana dried her coat she asked James who still was outside waiting for her.

“ Why you refused Rolands offer?”

He simply replied with a “ because so I can complain about the young people.”

Then it hit Cyana, she is immortal now, forced to live forever as the mare she is right now, she will never get older.
What if she want children one day, do Vampones even give birth? Are their babies even growing to full adults? And why was she thinking about babies?Her head got red like a cherry.

James escorted Cyana to the dining room so she could introduce herself to the other ponies around. The dining room was ,like everything in the mansion gigantic, on her left where room hight stained glass windows. The sunlight created a wonderful colour play on the opposite wall, that had a servant door and was covered with Cheery wood. The ground was covered in a Persian styled carpet beginning from the heavy mahogoni doors where she was standing to the other side of the room. The centre of the room was filled by a impressive long mahagoni table, nearly as long as the room. At the table were three ponies sitting, a pegasus stallion and a unicorn mare were sitting in front of each other.
The mare was pale as chalk had a long dark blue mane and emerald eyes, she was suited in a summer dress with severel sunflowers in a jar on it, someone seems to like van Gogh, Cyana thought.
Opposite of that mare was a scarlet red pegasus, with a short blonde mane sitting , wearing a dark grey tuxido. He had an enjoining conservation with the unicorn he was facing, they were chatting and laughers filled the dining room.
The third pony was also a unicorn ,blue with a violet mane shorn in a military style, he worn a uniform and have several medals pinned on his chest. A high ranked guard?He was sitting at the head of the table.

Cyana felt almost nude because she wasn’t dressed up for the dinner as the other ponies .

Then James took a deep breath”Herby I shall introduce you Lady Cyana, our lords financee.” James voice strong, not weak and wet as before echoed through the room.

Wait Financee? Cyana couldn’t help her but she blushed by that thought and her inner pony just squeaked.
The chatting Pair in the middle of the table haven’t reacted at all, only the guard on the head of the table stood up bowed and waited until Cyana took place between him and the pairing.

”These two are hopeless” the guard told her,”my name is Kiteshield, the pegasus there is called Swift Rift and the unicorns reacts to Emerald but her real na-”.

Suddenly the unicorn teleported in front of the guard holding a knive in her magic ,touching the throat of the stallion.Cyana got frightened and pushed herself back in a reflex, but instead of moving away from that long heavy table she sent the table flying, burying the unicorn directly under it.
Earning odd looks from the surrounding ponies. But the mare recovered quickly and launched herself hissing at the confused Cyana. Cyana raised her arms and prepared herself for the impact.
But the blow never came.

“Enough the guardscolt shouted, don’t you dare to just lay a hoof on lady Cyana” he roars while holding the kicking ans hissing Vampone unicorn in his magical grip.

After a couple of minutes she calmed down while the Swift Rift was brining the table back in place.
“Now I am very curios about her name” Cyana chuckled.

“I am Emerald, just Emerald, can we stop talking about that now”,The white unicorn said and acted like a spoiled child, blowing air in her cheeks looking like a blowfish now.

Cyana couldn’t handle that face and burst out in laughter throwing herself of the chair.
After she recovered Kiteshield helped her up again.

"So you are the one who the boss chose?” Swift begun but got stared down by Kiteshield, “ I mean the Lord had always a special taste.”

“What do you mean” Cyana replied as if she got just insulted.

”You know milady, we weren’t exactly turned by him” Swift continued ,

but then Emerald casually took over. “He want to tell you the heartbreaking story of us, gotten assaulted and transferred by Vampones.” she received an angry look of Swift but carried on. “We would be Thralls or worse by now without the lords kindness. But now he transformed a commoner, shared his blood with a earthpony, as far as we know you are even his first time”.

Wait I am the first he transformed, Cyana turned red as a cherry but than just noticed that she got insulted by that unicorn and her blush faded away in an instant.
“So you just said I am not good enough for Roland” Cyana replied . “Or are you just jealous ,that you aren’t in my position” she continued,
but these words made Emerald blush like Cyana before, but it was far worse for her, because of her white coat it was far easier to see, that made Emerald even more blush.

“Well Cyana won this argument” was all Swift could get out before a fork passed him and got stuck in the wall behind him.

The conversation was interrupted by James who pushed a little cart with some wine bottles and glasses into the room. “ Ms Emerald would be so kind and not throw forks at your at ponies, while sitting at the table” he said like explaining a child rights and wrong. “The dinner is ready in a couple of minutes, I shall serve the wine now” he announced, in his own way he was entertaining even if he seemed annoyed by the behaviour of the surrounding ponies.

James was pouring wine in the glasses while putting them on the right side of every pony. Cyana stared down on the thick red liquid, saliva was gathering in her throat, her hunger raised, she felt heat rushing down her body, but not like pain. It was more like joy. She could swear her fangs are growing.

“Oh look at that poor child, she haven’t ate since she transformed, just drink it dear” Emerald said.

What a change in attitude Cyana thought as her hunger grow, so that is blood , form another pony? She struggled to hold the glass in her hand.The red liquid was spilled over the edge and fell on her coat. A sweet metallic smell was blowing around her muzzle. The eyes of the surrounding ponies were fixiated on her, waiting for her first sip.
Cyanas heart pounded heavily in her chest, she was blushing. Her eyes widened and the colour turned from violet to a glowing red. She drove with her wet tongue over her lips, she could feel how her ear tips puffed, swallowing the salvia that gathers in her mouth. She couldn’t hold it in any more. She lifted the glass and drank, Cyana adjusted to the sweet and heavy iron taste very quickly, she swallowed, and emptied the whole glass in one go. She dropped the emptied glass down back on the table ,a pink saliva trail followed the movement glittering in the light of the stained windows. She noticed how the ponies around her also changed their appearance.

”haleluja”, Kiteshield yelled and raised his glass among the other.”Shall our new sibling grow strong, and bring us glory”.He yelled lifted his glass to his face with his magic and emptied it in one go,

Swift Rift and Emerald followed that motion.
But Cyanas hunger wasn’t satisfied, not in the slightest, she still want more, something fresh and warm. The ponies around her noticed her expression.

“James is her treat ready” Emerald asked with joy.

“yes it is Ms Emerald, but the dinner is finished at any moment.”he replied.

“Cant you see?Insolent fool! Her hunger is not satisfied, she need something fresh and living, or do you rather have her nimble on your neck”. She said as she rested her head on her right fore hoof.

“Fine” James signed, “I will give orders to the kitchen”. With that he trotted to the servant door in his usually paste, opened it but did not go past the frame, instead he just yelled “ We will go into the cellar first.” and than smacked the door shut. “Please follow me milady”.

* * *
After a couple of stairs they reached the cellar, James moved in front of the group leading the other ponies through the barrels and crates filled with wine, food and other goods. Left and right of them were big barrels, storing water, whine and according to Cyanas nose they also store blood.
She stopped in front of a barrel like that, for a couple of seconds , her hunger still not satisfied.

“Come on we are nearly there “ Swift whispered and knocked Cyana out of her thoughts.

She kept following James who didn’t even used a lantern to navigate through the darkness, than again Cyana could make out the items in her path even without any windows or light source, she saw everything in grey shades, is that the Night sight?

Then they turned around a corner to find an iron door.
James grabs a torch from the wall and lighten it ,with a match he teard over the wall to light it up.
The sudden change in illumination, hurt Cyanas eyes and she hissed, like the ponies behind her.
She was wondering about the sound she just made, it seems like the transformation have made deeper changes in her as she thought.

James opened the door in front of him, but fishing after the keys took him couple of seconds.Then let Cyana and the other ponies moved past him before he closed the door behind him. Cyana mustered the room, no windows, grey raw stones covered the wall walls, and hay everywhere, it reminded her more of a stable than a storage. Wait a stable, but then it means. Her eyes searched the room and indeed a pony lied down on the hay in the right corner from where Cyana was standing, a green mare, silence frightened. As her eyes met the green mare she backed away pressing her rump against the wall. Cyana felt the same sensation as before. She felt her teeth itching, her eyes widening , she didn’t want this but she was so hungry, her tongue drove over her lips, slowly she advanced towards the defenceless mare who seemed paralysed by Cyanas stare.

Cyana sat down in front of the green mare, stroking her mane,to calm her down.Then leaned towards her prey.
As she opened her jar saliva dripped on the neck of the mare. Cyanas hooves were shaking heavily.She tried, tried so hard to stop herself.
But the hunger drove her fangs deep into the silk skin. the green mare jerked and released the sound of pleasure, like Cyana did then she got bitten.The warm liquid shot into Cyanas mouth made her almost choke and blood spilled out of her mouth. But she adjusted her pace and begun to suck.The warm liquid filled her belly, satisfieng her hunger. Her hunger madi ti feel good, but tears rung down her cheeks, no this is all so wrong she thought, lam killing this pony, please sompony stop me, but the hunger drove her, the hunger after the blood.It was already to late for the mare in her hooves. Then the green mare jerked for the last time ,her heartbeat silenced but eyes still open. Cyana raised her hoof to the eyes of the unknown mare and closed them shut.

The four pairs of eyes behind her pieced her stomach with ice-cold spears. In her head, she saw the ponies grinning and laughing on the mares despair.

No they aren’t ponies, they are monsters and I am one of them, she though.
