Rainbow Dash sighed.

It had been what seemed like an eternity since her battle against her friend. She still could taste the blood on her lips. So sweet, yet so horrific. Rainbow Dash had been left, for the most part, alone in the coven's cavern. Two ponies, only known as Lyra and Bon Bon lay in the corner asleep. They had been like that for hours, and Rainbow Dash was getting bored with her instructions. "Keep an eye on them," Derpy's voice came in the cyan mare's head, "Or no blood for a month..." Rainbow Dash added with a sorrow huff.

A glance over to Lyra and Bon Bon and Rainbow Dash realized she had a serious issue at hoof - They were gone!

Rainbow Dash suddenly jumped up in panic, looking around the cave. They had left no sign of where they had left from. "Buck no..." Rainbow Dash muttered in anger, "They are so dead!" She roared after. Quickly soaring to one of the secret exits, Rainbow Dash pushed the exit button and the wall slid open, revealing one of Ponyville's alleyways. It was shaded well from the sun, and in a surprisingly good condition. The pale yellow painted walls protected Rainbow Dash from the sun as she pulled her hood up and took a sniff of the air. She immediately caught the scent she needed, Twilights.

Returning the hood to cover her face Rainbow Dash burst into an unnatural sprint, her hooves alone taking her to Twilights new castle in a near-instant. Screeching to a halt Rainbow Dash opened the door, pulling her hood down and attempting to act as if her condition was just the myth is was supposed to be.

Twilight looked to Rainbow Dash concerned, spotting her cyan coloured friend enter the chambers. "Hello, Rainbow," she exclaimed waving.

"Heya, Twilight," Rainbow Dash replied, "Can I ask a favour of you?"

"What is it, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked, "Is this about that incident a few years ago? Is Applejack after you again?"

"What? No!" Rainbow Dash stated in reply, her voice uneasy and filled with frustration. "I told you not to mention that," she added. "It's about our new bloods."

"Lyra and Bon-Bon?" Twilight inquired. Rainbow Dash silently nodded in reply.

"I need a tracking spell placed on them," Rainbow Dash stated.

Twilight sighed. "Why?"

"They...." Rainbow Dash trailed off, her throat drying out.

"Escaped and are endangering the town?" Twilight guess, to which Rainbow Dash nodded again. Shaking her head Twilight groaned. Something was always going on, and it was starting to visibly get to her. "Okay."

Twilight's horn began to glow with a purple aura, sparkling slightly as it reached into the surrounding magic fields. With a sudden gasp Twilight jolted back into her throne. Rubbing her sore horn she moaned in agony, writhing slightly. "E-Everfree. They're in the Everfree..." she stuttered.

"Twilight!" Rainbow Dash called in panic rushing to the Alicorn's side. "Are you okay?"

"Yes... Just a slight overload." Twilight replied, wobbling as she got to her hooves. Rainbow Dash looked to her with a sceptical expression, which Twilight picked up on. "Maybe a bit more than slight."

"You sure?" Rainbow Dash asked, her tone unsure and concerned. "That looked painful."

Applejack suddenly walked in. "Sounded it too."

"Applejack?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed in surprise. "Have you been listening on our entire conversation.

"Nah. I just overheard that last part about the Everfree, then Twilight's little... Fit." Applejack replied looking Twilight over. "I may be no expert on magic but I'd recommend ya get some rest, princess."

"I'm fine." Twilight replied, still struggling to stand. The other two didn't look convinced.

"I'm gonna head out, then," Rainbow Dash stated, trotting out of the castle door, heading to the Everfree Forest. She pulled her hood up and took to the air when out of Applejack's view. She still didn't want her finding out again.

Soon enough, Rainbow Dash stood at the eerie forests entrance, with a sigh she suddenly burst into her vampiric sprint, charging into the forest at neck-breaking speeds. As she sped through the forests she transformed, her fangs growing from her jaws an her eyes becoming slits. Her body became more muscular, if only slightly, too. The forest was silent, silent as silent can get, aside from the sound from the sound of Rainbow Dash's movement. Her hooves kicking up dust and soot as she slowed to a halt. She listened intently, listening in on the faintest of sounds. A mortal would never hear it. She couldn't quite either. Her ears twitched slightly, she picked up the sources and began to hover, slowly propelling herself towards the faint noise.

It was talking.

It was Lyra and Bon-Bon.

Rainbow Dash came to a halt, resting in a tree above them. They were fighting a local Timberwolf. Even they could take that on, she thought. The Timberwolf snarled, detecting Rainbow Dash watching. It looked at the two new bloods in front of it, both were bloody, bruised and exhausted. Both were defenceless. It lunged at Lyra.

Suddenly Rainbow Dash made her move, realising those she had to protect would die if she did not, and landed on the Timberwolf, breaking it's back in two with a loud cracking sound. The Timberwolf suddenly lay dead on the floor, Rainbow Dash standing on in in triumph. And in fury.

"You two..." she spat. "You're coming with me, now." Lyra and Bon-Bon looked to eachother timidly, and bowed to Rainbow Dash. "Stand," she commanded. "Why did you even come out here?"

"We... We were bored..." Lyra replied, cowering slightly.

"Bored? That's it?" Rainbow Dash asked, her tone indifferent, though her face displaying an utter rage. "Bored?" She repeated, her tone becoming one of absolute hatred, and anger. "With me. Now!"

The two nodded, sorrowfully following after Rainbow Dash. They looked to each other and sighed.

Suddenly Rainbow Dash stopped, hearing a growling sound nearby. Her ears twitched again, pinpointing the source of the sound. It was right above her. She looked up, squinting her eyes. She spotted a pony, but with a canine head, sharp claws, and a wolf-like tail. "A Lycan?"

Author's Note

So, the sequel is here! I'm sorry it took so long, but I've not felt like writing in a while, and have only just finally gotten back to it. As for those who also enjoyed my other story, The Vampony of Manehatten High, it will remain cancelled for the time being. At least until this story is finished.
