The Call Of The Night

Twilight was on her way back to the library when she suddenly realized that she was slightly hungry, luckily she brought an apple with her for that exact reason, although she didn't know why she brought an apple when it could have been something more filling like a sandwich. Deciding not to worry about that she continued to a little spot near Fluttershy's house where she liked to relax and read sometimes. She reached her destination and just took in the beauty of the place, It was a cliff not to far of the ground making it relatively safe to be at, it also had a large, old oak tree casting a shadow over the area and providing a nice spot to lay on. It offered an amazing view on the fields blooming with flowers  and forests rich with wildlife, you could even see a small river coming out of the forest and flowing through the field. It was simply breathtaking and even better at sunsets when the sun shined the last of its rays for the day and setting below the horizon.

The purple unicorn took out the apple and bit into it, the apple tasted amazing, like never before and for some reason she wanted more, much more. This is amazing! I need some more but where can I find some? she wondered fore a minute before it dawned on her, Of course Fluttershy should have some, we went to the market together after all.

Right now, Twilight was too far gone into her transformation into a Fruit batpony to think clearly or rationally and the only thoughts she was having were about the sweat taste of the apple she ate and her soon to be feast.

     She was now nearing Fluttershy's cottage and she was truely excited because she could see the enternace to it, she was so close now and she could almost taste the apples at that moment. Now in fornt of the door she knocked on the door and asked : "Fluttershy are you in there?" She noticed that the door was unlocked and pushed it open and she saw something that would make her run faster than Rainbow Dash, if she wasn't in the middle of her transformation, she saw Fluttershy only she had bat wings and a tuft of fur on each of her ears. The Flutterbat was too busy devouring an apple to notice her friend in the house. Twilight was about to go to her when something caught her interest, the sweet taste of apples that her mouth watered to every time she thought of them, she also noticed an apple just laying on the table and a step by step she was moving to it. The entire time she didn't take her eyes of it and din't realise she was drooling, in a matter of seconds she was there and after a brief moment of hesitation she bit into it.

     Her mind exploded at the taste in her mouth finally trigering her transformation. Her head was in a pain as her horn was pushed back into her skull and the feathers on her wings started to fall off, revealing the newly formed bat wings on the place there were normal, pegasus wings until recently. Finishing her transormation, her ears now had a small tuft of fur on her ears and long fangs peeknig from her mouth. The newly transformed Twilight picked up the apple that had fallen from her hoof while she was transforming and bit into it as hard as she could, sucking all the sweet nectar out of it leaving it an empty husk.

     Flutterbat finally turned around and her eyes went wide when she saw who was standing there and more importantly, how she looked like. She immidiately backed up a little, as she hasn't quite determined whether Twibat was a threat or not and hissed, Twibat mimicked her action. Somethnig was telling her that she knows that fruit batpony, that she was friendly. She hissed again asking the other fruit batpony if she was friendly and Twibat hissed back, confirming her firendly intentions because she knew as well that the other one was a friend. Acting on instinct Flutterbat offered half of her apple stash, which was an instinctive act of forming a bond between two mutualy friendly fruit batponies, creating a fruit batpony version of a coven. Naturally Twibat took the offer as she was hungry from her recent transformation. Twibat hissed at Flutterbat asking where shall their residence be and Flutterbat sugested the building they were at the moment as it was a location distant from the town, near the Everfree forest which could provide an escape route in a case of emergency plus it was near a food source, the Sweet Apple Acres. Twibat immediately agreed as the location seemed nearly perfect and both of them continued to suck their precious  apples dry.

     After they finnished their meal they agreed to scout out the local area to form an idea where they could reside, which places should be avoided and where they could move if needed. After a couple of sweeps through the area they had a general idea of the area: there were some caves nearby which could serve as hideouts in times of need, the forest was huge and definetly a place they should explore more thoroughly in the future and possibly even move there as it was thick and secure, there was also the town that was to be avoided at all times because it was filled of regular ponies.

The night was nearing its end and the two fruit batponies were tired, they hung themselves upside down with their tails tied upon whatever pole they could find. Upon tying their tails they wraped their wings around them to keep themselves warm.

As the first rays of sunlight began to shine upon the land, the two fruit batponies were resting peacefully in the small cottage near the Everfree without knowing of the threats to their existence that are soon to come.
