Blood Born Different

"Queen Dark! Your blood pack is here." Dark's maid said as she gave Dark the blood pack.

"Thank you, my maid. You may now leave." Dark said.

Dark's maid bowed.

"Yes, my queen." Dark's maid said, and left.

Dark was sitting on her throne. She was already healed. The two guards that are always next to her didn't suspect anything.

"I should get going. I need to see how Twilight is doing. And make sure she trust me, it doesn't hurt to double check." Dark thought.

"Guards, I'm leaving the castle to go to Ponyville. Make sure a riot doesn't start while I'm gone." Dark said in her queen voice.

"Yes, my queen," They said.

Dark got up, with her blood pack and went to her room.

Once Dark was in her room, She checked the time.

"12:21. Okay, here I come Twilight." Dark thought

Dark change form, and teleported to Twilight's castle.

Once Dark was at Twilight's castle. She knocked on the door. No answer, so Dark waited and knocked the door harder, and waited some more. Until Dark heard a voice.

"Coming!" Twilight said.

The door opened. And Twilight had her princess gear on. She looked pretty.

"Oh! Dark. It's you... Come in." Twilight said, and moved out of the way, so Dark could get in.

Dark nodded and walked in.

"So, what are you doing here Dark?" Twilight asked.

"I wanted to tell you that I'm okay, look even the scratch is gone," Dark said and showed Twilight.

Twilight nodded in approval. Then Twilight's face looked surprised.

"Only a few hours of healing, and it's fully healed already. That's strange, but it's good." Twilight said.

Twilight put her right hoof on her chin. And her face suddenly changes, she looked like she remembers something.

"Oh! I forget to tell you!" Twilight said, excited.

"What?" Dark asked.

"Would you like to meet Princess Celestia?" Twilight said.

"Huh?" Dark said, surprise.

"Why?" Dark asked quickly.

"You tried to save my life, and you said an important thing about friendship! Princess Celestia would like you!" Twilight said happily.

Dark sat down and thought for a moment.

"I really don't want to meet Celestia, but this could help my plan. Not only could I see Celesta's castle, I could see how her guards are, and how there equipped. If I ever want to do an attack, I would know where to hit her castle and her guards. I shouldn't be worried about princess Celestia finding out I'm a vampony. That was more than 500 years ago. I'll do it." Dark thought

"I would love to meet Princess Celestia... When?" Dark asked.

"Today, right now," Twilight said.

"That would be perfect. Thanks, Twilight." Dark said nicely.

Twilight nodded.

"Alright. Are you ready?" Twilight asked.

Dark nodded.

"Let's go!" Twilight said. And use her teleportation spell.

They teleported right to the front gates of Celestia castle. The castle was huge. I think even bigger than Dark's.

"Welcome to Caterlot, Dark," Twilight said and walk to the gates.

"Halt. who goes there...? Princess Twilight?!" Said the guard on the right.

"Please open the gates," Twilight said.

"Yes, your majesty." Said the guard on the left and bowed.

After the gates open. There was a lot of guard in a line. They bowed as Twilight past.

"Very organized. That is bad... For me anyways." Dark thought.

Once they were in the castle. Twilight showed Dark around until they were at the doors of Princess Celestia throne room.

"Guards, tell Princess Celestia, that I'm here."

"Yes, your majesty." Said the guards, and walked in the throne room.

"I'll call you when you can come in. I need to tell Princess Celestia about you." Twilight said.

Dark nodded.

"Your majesty. Princess Celestia would like you to come in." Said one of the guards.

Twilight nodded and walked in.

A few minutes later..

"Dark! You can come in." Twilight said.

Dark walked in. The first thing she noticed is that the sun god was sitting on her sunny throne. And Twilight was sitting on the red carpet, right in front of Celestia. And two guards were standing next to her, just like Dark's.

Once Dark was next to Twilight and almost right in front of Princess Celestia, Dark bowed.

"Princess Celestia, this is Dark. The pony who tried to save my life, and learning about friendship." Twilight said.

After Twilight said that. Celestia looked at Dark, then back to Twilight.

"Thank you Twilight, but I want to talk to Dark alone." Princess Celestia said.

Twilight nodded and left the throne room.

Dark got up, and she looked at Princess Celestia. For some reason, she looked taller and more royal while sitting on that throne.

"Alright, here I go.... Don't fail now." Dark thought nervously.

"I appreciate that you tried to save a pony that I hold dearly. Now I have to ask, why did you risk your own life when you could have asked Twilight to teleport you both away?" Celestia asked.

Dark was surprised that Celestia asked that. Dark wasn't prepared. Dark may have live more than 500 years, but Celestia has lived more than 1,000 years. Celestia rules over towns and cities. Dark just rules over a castle. Dark knows Celestia is a lot smarter than her and had dealt with enemy's that live as long as her. She may be great and powerful, but she had to use the elements. Without them, she wouldn't be alive. If the elements didn't exist, Dark's parents would still be alive, and they would have the world all to their self's.

Dark wanted to say, "because I haven't thought of it that way." But she said.

"Because as a true friend, you help your friends in need, even if it cost something you hold dearly or even your life. Because maybe one day, that friend may be the most important pony that cares for you." Dark said with confidence.

Celestia smiled and asked.

"One more question. Why do you want to learn about friendship?"

"I just want to learn about friendship, so I can have great friends and respect," Dark said, lying.

Celestia smiled again, then nodded in approval.
