"So uh, Vinyl?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you maybe get off my back?"

"Figuratively or literally?"

"I'm surprised you even know what those words mean."

"What was that?"

"Nothing..."

"So why am I not allowed to stand up?"

I heard a sigh from behind me. "Because you overloaded a magic suppression spell, tapped into your life source, hit your head on the ground hard enough to fracture your skull, and to top it all off you have been out cold for nearly twelve hours. I'm not getting off unless you promise me that you won't leave this bed until tomorrow."

Now it was my turn to sigh. Come on, how much damage could I do stretching my legs and wings a bit? I craned my head around far enough to see her neon hair. "Bu-"

"No."

"What if I-"

"No."

"Just a littl-"

"No."

I let out a groan of defeat. "Fine, I promise." I felt a weight shift off my back as the sound of four hooves hitting the floor echoed around the small room. Vinyl trotted towards the door but before she could slip through I remembered something. "Hey Vinyl?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you send Fluttershy in so I don't go crazy from boredom?

She scoffed, "sure."

"Thanks.. for everything Vinyl."

"D-don't mention it" she stuttered out as she slipped through the door.


"So..." I begun, she didn't seem inclined to start this conversation. 'Wow, this is really awkward; she's just standing there and staring at me. With those big blu-and now they're red.' "Uh, Fluttershy?" I gently poked her, she swayed and her eyes returned to normal.

"What?" She blinked a few times.

"That would be instinct. It takes over on occasion if you don't know how to control it."

"O-oh"

"Now, let's have a small lesson on vamp-ponies so you know A: more about yourself and B: so you can spot them incase you get in trouble and me and Vinyl aren't around. There are multiple different sub species of us; you have the fruit bats which are the gatherers of the species, the hunters; which do as the name implies. The magi, which are mainly unicorns but with a few exceptions." I shot my wings out and waggled my eyebrows at her. "Like me, I can cast magic by channeling magic through my wings." 'Not very well at the moment though.' "The other species I will keep to myself until you need to know about them or I get bored and feel like teaching you." I said while in the process of trying to place my wings in a comfortable position. "So, any questions?"

"A-a few." She managed to stutter out. I knew she has shy in her name but still. If I was born a normal pegasus; why am I a vampire pony now?"

"Good question." 'But do I answer it now? How do I know if I can trust her. Would the element of kindness spill secrets? This directly involves her though and if I just don't answer she will suspect something. Agh, this is giving me a headache.' "Well, all vampire ponies change at a different time. It goes from when you are born to when you die with no clear time of changing. You could have easily not turned into a vampire pony and lived a normal happy life." 'That's going to have to work for now.'

"Oh." She looked pensive, that's not good.

"So did you have any other questions?" I said with a smile that was a bit too large.

"Um, just two more if that's okay."

'As long as they aren't about that blatant lie I just told.' "Sure."

"That other pony said something about a force field to keep Vampire ponies out. Why would we need to be kept out?" She questioned, cocking her head to the side.

"Yeah, Princess Celestia doesn't trust us since Princess Luna was banished to the moon. It is very hard to tell if somepony is a vampire pony if you don't know what to look for. So Celestia has ponies in certain towns set up force fields to keep us out. We are not too sure what we have done to Princess Celestia for her not to trust us but we try to stay as far away from her as possible. Also, that other pony's name is Vinyl Scratch."Blatant lie number two is a go!

"Okay, um. What happened?"

I smiled at her. "You're going to have to be more specific."

"Wh-what happened to you? How did we get here?"

"Ah, that.."

"It's okay if you don't want to talk abou-"

"No, it's fine. What I did was teleport us back here, because being out in the sun isn't really the best thing for me so I had to act quickly and ended up using to much magic. As I said earlier I am one of the magi of the vampire pony species can channel magic to varying degrees of strength. Some have been known to be able to lift whole houses by themselves, but a few could barely lift a quill. Now, I'm kind of in the middle of th-" I stopped is a sharp spike of pain drove itself into my skull.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fi-" I winced. Colour's seemed to be turning more grey as time passed. "Okay, maybe not-"
