scootaloo: knight of shadows
chapter 2:explanation
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSweetie bell, a mare scootaloo knew since they were fillies looking for their cutie marks long before they met apple bloom and formed the cutie mark crusaders, a pony scootaloo would willingly tell her dark secret to sooner or latter. However, that sooner or latter became now and not the way scootaloo had intended.
"I can't believe it, your a vampire" sweetie belle said unable to believe what she had seen just a few minutes ago, her friend is a blood thirsty vampire all along.
"Would you believe me if I said no?" Scootaloo asked in a weak chuckle
Sweetie bell was unsure what to do at the moment and was scared for her life, sensing her fear scootaloo put on a calming smile and put her hands in the air as a sign of peace.
"Its okay sweetie belle, I won't hurt you I swear" scootaloo said trying to ease her unicorn friend's fear of being attacked, she was going to say more but her senses had picked up approaching ponies coming towards them, three and she knew them well enough to identify them, probably came to rescue them from the big bad wolf.
"I can't right now but I promise I well explain latter, come to my place tonight" scootaloo said urgently
"And you can bring rarity if you want" she added in just before the ponies she had sensed came into the building. One of them was rarity, the other two was a blue Pegasus and the other was and earth pony. The peagusus wears a light blue tang top with no sleeves, blue jeans, and red sneakers, her eyes are rosey pink, and her mane and tail are that of a rainbow, on her right hand is a white cloud with rainbow lightning. The earth pony has straw yellow mane and tail braided in a pony tail, a brown stetson hat rests on top her head over her emerald green eyes, she has white freckles on each of her cheeks, she wears an orange plaid shirt tied so that her belly button was seen, she has blue tight jeans tucked in her cow girl boots.
"Rares,dash, aj what brings you to this part of town?" Scootaloo wondered with a fake curious tone that she seemed had years of practice to pull off
"We came here because apple bloom called and told me about this wolf and explained what happened, even about how ya tried ta fight alone scootaloo" applejack explained which a scorn look towards the orange pegasus
"I'm fine, I don't even have a scratch on me" scootaloo said with a cocky smile dismissing the older farmers glare.
"Even if you some how made it out unharmed you still should have tried to get help instead of getting a dangerous fight" rainbow dash said with a tone that made it clear she was serious on the matter like her apple friend, hearing the older pegasus lecture her like a dissapointed sister or mother made scootaloo clench her fist in attempt to hold back her frustration and anger,but before she said anything back sweetie belle spoke up
"But if did that then the wolf would have killed a lot of ponies by the time help came, she only fought it so no one else would get hurt" sweetie belle said trying to defend her friend.
"I'm just glad no one was seriously injured or worst" rarity said in a relive tone for her sisters safety. Rainbow dash and applejack nodded and went to leave and head home, when rainbow dash and applejack was far enough out of hearing range scootaloo called for rarity's attention
"Hey rarity, can you and sweetie belle come to my place latter, I need to talk to you guys about something important? " Scootaloo asked hoping to get her explanation out of the way tonight so she would have time to prepare for her scheduled fight.
"I have no orders for any clothing so I would love to come, how about you sweetie belle?" rarity asked her sister who simply nodded in response, she had questions that only scootaloo could answer.
"Great, see you guys latter" scootaloo said as she walked home, she had some things to check at home and wanted to do it before her explanation.
Latter that night, rarity and sweetie belle arrived at scootaloo's house and was knocking at the door, a couple minutes latter and scootaloo openned her door to allow them entry
"Hey, glad you came I made tea for us to drink while I tell guys something important" scootaloo said as she walked them to her living room where three cups of tea sat, rarity and sweetie belle sat on the couch while scootaloo want on the chair.
"Well, thank you darling, I had no idea you would made tea" rarity said surprised at the younger mare ability of a great houstes
"So, what is it you wish to tell us dear?" rarity wondered worried that it was bad news
Scootaloo looked at both mares she had intended to reveal herself, but now she had gone cold feet and was unsure on how to approach this situation she put herself into.
Wing it and hope for the best was her only solution to mind.
"I think it would be best to show you first" she said as she got up, her cutie mark shined a small crimson light as her apperance changed into their vampiric form. After her looks changed the glow on her cutie mark died revealing that it to had changed, what was once a wheel which wings is now a red moon with a black sword over lapping it with the sharp edge pointing down. Rarity and sweetie belle were shocked beyond believe, sweetie belle may have found out about it earlier, but seeing her vampiric form was still shocking.
"What are you" rarity asked in a soft voice, still not understanding what she had just seen, just a few seconds ago scootaloo was a normal pegasus , but then her cutie Mark glowed and her looks had turned, not much , her fur and mane are a darker shade, but the most drastic change was her wings are now like that of a bat, and her once purple irises are crimson with slits.
"I'm what you would call a vampire" scootaloo informed waiting for the initial freak out she was so used to
"H-how long have you been hiding this?" Asked sweetie belle shyly, curious on how much she had been this way.
"I was born like this as far as I know" scootaloo answerd, she expected to to be yelled at and ran out of town by an angry mob but so far that wasn't the case.
"Aren't two gonna scream or try to kill me, many a mob or something" she asked hoping the answer was a no.
"Well, it is weird finding out your a vampire, but your still my best friend" sweetie belle said as if she had read her mind
"Quite right darling, you have always put some one else's need before your own, if you have been a vampire this whole time as you say then who are we to judge" rarity put in with a friendly smile that told scootaloo that her worries were for nothing. Hearing them talk like this made scootaloo get teary eyed, overwhelmed with joy she suddenly went and hug the two unicorn guest at the same time,neither rarity nor sweetie belle were expecting this but happily returned the hug.
"Thank you you don't know ho w much it means to me to hear you guys say that" scootaloo said in a soft voice with tears streaming her cheeks. No one said anything for a few minutes till the hug broke.
"I'm sure you guys have a lot of questions but I need to start my training now before sunrise" scootaloo informed her friends as she turned back to her mortal self.
"Trainning,what are training for?" Wondered rarity as she raised an eyebrow
"You mean for that fight with that werewolf right" asked sweetie belle in a tone that made sound more like a statement
"Lycan, and yes" corrected scootaloo, this only made rarity more curious and worried at the same time. Seeing her confusion scootaloo and sweetie belle told rarity the truth of what really happened and about the fight coming up in a week.
"Why didn't you just kill it then and there, according to how sweetie belle described it you seem more than capable" rarity asked wanting to now why she would agree to this sense it seemed like a hassle.
"Two reasons, one, is because I wanted to know why a shadow lycan who are normally nocturnal would appear in a public place in broad daylight" scootaloo said waiting for her friends process this before continuing, at their nods she gave them her other reason
"And second, while it looked like I could win the truth is that if the fight continued then I might have died" she said in a dark tone, the sisters eyes widened at hearing this.
"But you didn't even get a scratch on you" sweetie belle pointed out what she thought was a flea to the second reason.
"While that might have been, the lycan had the advantage because It wasn't restrained as much as I was in daylight meaning it could use some of its powers during the fight while I couldn't, and I wasn't expecting to fight a lycan at the moment" scootaloo explained, after hearing this the two unicorns nodded in somber understanding.
"Well then you need to get started right away then" rarity stated with sweetie belle voicing her agreement. Scootaloo smiled at their support and was happy they accepted her secret
"Yeah, but you two should stay the night , I don't know what that lycan intends to do but I would feel better if you two stayed till morning for safety" scootaloo offered, explaining the potential danger. The two unicorn sisters nodded in agreement and followed scootaloo to their room for the night, after they went to sleep scootaloo went out into the would to start her training for the fight that was soon to come.
As she trained she heard a howl that sounded like a wolf.
Or a shadow lycan.
