Love in Chaos: Vampire

All was quiet in Canterlot as Luna's moon stood high in the sky and the stars shone brightly. The ponies calmly slept in their homes, content as the Princess of the Night guarded their dreams.

However, near the castle, in the Canterlot Statue Gardens, not all was so calm.

A cloaked figure raced through the fields, easily passing by guards without them knowing of their presence. By the build up of the pony, it was shown to be a mare, the figure too small to be a that of a stallion.

She heard the sound of voices up ahead and stopped behind the statue that represented victory and panted softly, taking the moment to catch her breath. She began to listen in to the voices to see who they were, able to tell that they were female.

"Sister, are you sure that this is such a good idea?" The figure recognize the voice of Luna. "I mean, holding a week long festival in Ponyville for me?"

"It's quite alright Luna." The other voice that was easily recognized as Celestia's responded. "You are finally getting what you wanted, for ponies to appreciate both you and your night. Speaking of which, your stars are shining so beautifully."

"Thank you Tia." Luna said. "But it is not the respect of the ponies that I am worried about."

"If not that then what?" Celestia questioned.

"Sister, I will be spending a whole week in Ponyville..." Luna began. "Don't you think that some of our enemies may see this as an opportunity to attack?"

"Relax Luna." Celestia reassured. "Everything will be fine. But for now, let's head back to the castle, it is getting late."

The sound of hoofsteps retreating was heard and the figure sighed, looking out from her hiding place to see if the coast was clear. When nopony was spotted, they approached the statue in which they had been looking for.

The draconequus stood tall above her on his pedestal, looking like an ordinary statue. Though, the way that he was posed made him look as if he was singing, making the fact that he was a former tormentor of Equestria less terrifying.

That and there was the fact that he was the former fiance of her close friend Chiaroscuro, who seemed to usually avoid the topic. In fact, she never seemed happy when she did talk about it, she seemed really sad about it and said that it was because she missed him.

That was why the hooded mare was here, she was going to set the draconequus free. That way, Oscuro could be happy again.

The mare sighed and closed her eyes, a faint pale blue glow shining out from the hood. The statue began to glow to same color as it was surrounded in the unicorn's magic.

Slowly, the statue began to crumble as cracks began to appear in it. A deep laugh was heard as the mare worked her magic, but she didn't deter with her spell.

Soon, the statue began to completely fall apart, chunks of concrete breaking off of the draconequus's body and falling to the ground until he was fully free. The mare smiled at her success as her magic died down.

The draconequus stretched and yawned, his yellow and red eyes blinking open as he did so. He took a good look around and his surroundings and sighed.

"Wow, the place sure has changed a bit." He mumbled before his eyes landed on the mare in front of him. She took a few steps back as he hopped down from the pedestal. "Now what do we have here?"

"Greetings, Discord." The mare stated. "I am the one who set you free."

"Hmm, that you are." He nodded. "But just why did you free me from my oh so uncomfortable prison? You could be charged with treason."

"I did it for her." The mare sighed. "For Oscuro."

"Oscuro?" Discord gasped. "You know my bride to be?"

"Yes... I do..." The mare pulled down her hood, revealing her pink coat and her purple and green mane to the moonlight, and exposing her neck to the draconequus, who quietly observed it. "My name is Starlight Glimmer, one of Chiaroscuro's best friends."

"Oh are you now?" He questioned and she nodded. "Well, you will definitely come of use as a bridesmaid then."

"Wait, bridesmaid? What do you mean by that?" Starlight inquired as he took a hold of er face in his hands and stared her directly in the eyes. "Wh-what are you... you...?"

"Shh... don't fret little mare." He said as he began to work his hypnotic powers, slowly putting the mare in a trance. "Relax... I will not hurt you..." He felt Starlight's body go slack. This was rather easy. "Now... you are going to do as I say, is that clear?"

"Yes Master..." She replied in a soft, yet monotone voice. "I shall do whatever you say, as I am your faithful servant."

"Good." He smiled as he continued his magic on the mare. "First, you are going to help me get my bride, since you are her best friend. Second, I am going to make you into a bridesmaid and you will do whatever my bride or I say. And finally, unless they are under my control, you are to keep the princesses and element bearers away from my bride. Got all of that?"

"Of course Master." Starlight's voice was no longer monotone, but Discord could tell that she was still under his control. "Your wish is my command."

"Perfect. But first." Discord let his fangs descend. "A thousand years in stone is enough to leave anyone thirsty, and I can do with a drink."

Without given a command, Starlight removed her cloak and presented her neck to Discord. He smiled with a purr and leaned forward, sinking his teeth into her neck and beginning to feast on her blood.
