A River of Crimson

"Ow... My head." moaned a tired Raindrop as she took a minute to react.

"Wai-wait a min-minute?! This isn't Whitetail woods!"

"Whe-where am I-I?!"

"An-and whe-where is tha-that cree-creepy blood-suck-sucking ma-mare?" Stuttered Raindrop.

"If you could use your senses properly you might notice I am sitting right next to you." Came a shallow mare's voice."

Suddenly Raindrop noticed a set of green glowing reptilian eyes which she recognized instantly.

"Ahh!"

Raindrop tried to pull away but felt as if she was being held down by something.

"Let me g-go!"

"What would I acheive from that apart from a lack of wonderous and life replenishing blood."

Raindrop shot a cold, but at the same time scared look at the mysterious mare's glowing eyes. Suddenly she felt her body tense up and she wasn't even able to struggle.

She watched the glowing green eyes move away towards the moonlight illuminated area outside what seemed to be a cave.

And then suddenly the Mare shot a sharp look back at Raindrop and she suddenly started walking towards her. Try as she might she could not stop her legs from taking her exactly where she didn't want to go.

Raindrop felt that she was going to have a nervous breakdown any second now.

Suddenly she burst into tears and cried out almost all the fluids she contained and stood there whimpering quietly infront of the mare.

"This will definetly not do!" Bellowed the mare a angry expression crossing her face.

"How am I possibly going to make a 'Child of Darkness' out of a wimpering mess like you?!"

The words that escaped the crimson mare's lips at that moment caused Raindrop to go rigid with fear and cause herself to feel a slight bit excitement after reading those Vampony novels she got from the library.

suddenly for some unknown reason the mare shook her head wildely, at the same time Raindrop regained control of her body, falling to the floor.

The crimson mare's irises resizing to a normal ponies size afterwards.

"Oh-h I'm sorry, are you hurt?" said the Mare as she motioned a hoof towards Raindrop.

Raindrop wimpered away from the mysterious mare at this motion, and the Mare displayed a look of anger and sadness on her face.

"I won't hurt you." Said the mare as she walked towards Raindrop, and Raindrop moved further back until her flank touched the end of the cave.

"Wh-who are yo-you?" came a stuttered whimper from the pegasus's lips.

"O-oh sorry. My name is Lunapis Equineup Vampiris, but I doubt you can remeber all that so you just call me Crimson. And who in all of Equestria may you be?"

"R-r-r-raindr-dr-drop." Replied the now confused and terrified pegasus.

"Thats a really lovely name. Come here please, I promise I am not gonna hurt you."

Raindrop shuffled slightly closer.

"More than that...."

She shuffled a bit closer.

"I suspect I should meet her halfway." Crimson thought to her self releasing a large sigh as she thought.

Crimson started pushed the pegasus to the moonlight lit end of the cave. All the time Raindrop constantly whimpering.

"See that wasn't too hard was it?"

Crimson turned her face towards Raindrop but instead of another bite that Raindrop was expecting she recieved a warming muzzle on her cheek.

"See you don't need to worry about me."

"B-bu-but you bit me?" came a timid reply.

"Sorry about that... I haven't fed on blood in days, to be honest i'm suprised my blood-frenzied self left you alive. You should consider yourself lucky."

"Bu-bu-but why are you so suddenly different?" Asked a inquisitive Raindrop as she suddenly regained a slither of confidence towards the mare.

"As i said, I haven't fed on equine blood for days and I don't really want to drop dead." A slither of annoyance in her voice as she spoke.

"Wait so what are you? Are you a vampony by chance."

"Close."

"I am a 'Child of Darkness'."

"A what?"

"A 'Child of Darkness'."

"But your so like a vampony from those stories I read."

"Whats the difference?"

"Vamponies are fiction where as Children of Darkness actually exist. But I guess you could call me a Vampony."

"O-kay..."

"Anyway why when you bit me the second time, why did say you were MY worst nighmare?"

"That wasn't me."

"Yes it was."

"No. That was my 'Child of... Oh well lets just call it Vampony subconsous."

"Wait?!"

"What?"

"The second time my subconsious bit... I bit you did you feel blood down your neck?!"

"Come to think of it... No."

"Oh-no... That isn't good!"

"Why?"

"Maybe you would like to go and have a look in that lake..." Crimson said as her face lost its slowly fading and comforting smile she had worn a couple of minutes ago.

"Why?"

"Just look in the lake."

Raindrop quickly galloped to the lake and when she got there she noticed her reflection had a difference. Her jaw dropped in suprise and fear.

"FANGS?!............."

Author's Notes:
