Twilight burst into the library, causing Spike to fall off of the ladder he was perched on. Twilight quickly caught him in her magic, the young drake now noticing a worried frown plastered on the young Alicorn's face.
"Twilight wha-" Spike tried to question her but he was quickly cut off by a hoof being shoved into his mouth.
"No time for questions! Just mail this to the Princess right away!" Twilight took a poorly sealed letter out of her mane.
"How did you-"
"No time!" Twilight shouted, shoving the envelope towards Spike. He picked it out of her shaking hoof and lit it aflame, wondering all the while what was so important about that letter?
Celestia
Dear Princess Celestia
Fluttershy is somehow a vampire pony! We were trying to get rid of some bats when she suddenly grew fangs, her eyes turned red and her wings leathery. I have tried everything I could think of, from potions to spells and nothing is working! Do you know what could be happening? Please write back!
Signed Twilight Sparkle.
The poorly written letter fluttered to the ground; no longer being held afloat by my golden hue.'No... this cannot be, one of the elements of harmony? One of... them?' I heard a laugh of disbelief escape through my lips.'This cannot be! It must be some sort of... prank! Yes! A prank! There is no way one of the elements of harmony could be such a monster! But... I have to make sure. Even with the slim chance that what Twilight is saying is true, I have to be one hundred percent sure. I picked the letter back up, and began to pace length wise across me study. There was only one clue, they were trying to get rid of bats. But why? Unless there was a good reason for it I don't see any reason for the Bearers of the elements to be doing something as simple as pest control.
"There has to be a motive behind it." At this point I began to talk to myself, an annoying habit that I can't quite remember where I got it off of. I froze in place. "I am so stupid sometimes..." I sighed and hung my head. 'What was that old saying? Hind sight is twenty/twenty? Very true.'
I closed my eyes in preparation for a simple teleport spell with one location in mind. Sweet Apple Acres.
Present day.
'How?' I thought to myself, hoping that she could hear me.
'It's quite simple really, before We were sent off by our, excuse our language, whorse of a sister We sent a special "trait" shall we call it down our most recent blood line. This trait gave vampire ponies with that blood line a shred of our magic which, in turn gave us the ability to speak with thee.'
'Okay... next question. Why would you do that?'
'The reason is also rather simple. Our sister plans to keep us locked away on the moon for eternity and We really do not want that.'
'But all the stories say-'
'That We were banished by the Lord of Chaos Discord? A cover story, We and our sister defeated Discord a few hundred years before We were sent to exile. And, before you ask, our beloved Sister believed that We were becoming too powerful and would destroy the world by plunging it into darkness, or so she says. The real reason We were exiled is even unknown to us.'
'That would also explain why Celestia treats vampire ponies like timber wolves. She is most likely afraid that we would band together and try to summon you.'
'Which is exactly what We wish you to do.'
I groan to myself, I should have expected her to say something like this.
'Also, you seem to be taking this news rather lightly, most of the other ponies We have talked to about this ended up checking themselves into psych wards.'
I chuckled inwardly 'well it has been an interesting few days to say the least.'
'Oh, pray tell?'
'Well, I almost died trying to use a teleportation spell, found out an Element of Harmony is a Vampire pony, and had a brief panic attack when all of my muscles stopped working.'
No response. 'Luna? Hello?'
'One of the Elements?' Her voice rang out as sharp as the sound of a whip causing me to wince.
'Yes, the Element of Kindness was found to have the Vampire fruit bat gene. It was rather odd, her transformation started a few months ago yet it usually happens around foal hood.'
I heard a sigh with great sadness behind it. 'We was afraid my sister would do something like this. It appears that she has attempted to suppress the genes of the Vampire pony. We are not sure how she would go about achieving something like this but it appears she has found a way. How did you find her? We are quite sure our sister would be beside herself in anger over the loss of one of the Elements.'
'She was just in an Apple orchard, none of her friends nearby, she was seemingly forgotten. I took her in and-'
"Hey look you're awake." I heard a sleepy voice sound from behind me. The voice in my head was gone, great timing Vinyl. "You okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, I was just talking to the voice in my head about how Celestia betrayed her sister and banished her forever to live on the moon and how Celestia is currently trying to suppress every vampire gene in Equestria so we can't start an uprising to free the moon goddess from her prison."
"That's nice and- wait, what? Man you hit your head harder than I thought." Vinyl raised a hoof up to my head but I swatted it out of the air, looks like I have control of my body again.
"You know who Luna is, right?"
"Yes, moon princess, was sealed away by Lord of Chaos, blah, blah, blah.
"Well, it appears that rumor is ill founded." I tell Vinyl about my conversation with the Princess of the Moon.
"Oh."
"Yes, just a bit different from the story we were expected to believe, isn't it?"
"Yeah, on a side note I managed to get some information out of our little friend here."
I groaned, Vinyl's ways of getting information weren't quite conventional and has gotten us in some trouble with the law before.
"Sheesh, all I did was talk to her, you reacted like I told you I went on a blood sucking killing spree."
"What, did you have to postpone that to next week?" I asked with a smirk.
"Hardy harhar. Now can I talk now?"
I rolled my eyes and mimicked locking my lips. "Good, it seems Fluttershy was completely forgotten by the other five elements. When she woke up one of the first thing she did was fly to town and bump into a force field. However, from the other side of the force field she managed to catch a glimpse of her friends having a picnic in the park, from what she said they looked to be perfectly fine with the fact that one of their best friends got turned into a vampire."
"Hmm, I think Celestia has more to do with this than we realize."
Author's Note
Why does Celestia not like Vamp ponies?
Where is Luna?
Why is Fluttershy still a vampire?!?!?
WHY AM I ASKING YOU QUESTIONS INSTEAD OF ANSWERING THEM!?!?!?
All good questions.
There might be a few typos, you have been warned.
