Rarity woke up to to the sound of birds chirping in the morning, always one to wake up early she stretched and looked around the room she finds herself in, the fact that it wasn't her home startled her a bit before remembering last night events. Scootaloo, a pegasus who's personality is similar to rainbow dash except a bit more modest, is actually a vampire. She walked down the stairs to find scootaloo in her pony form in the kitchen cooking a delicious smelling meal.

"Good morning rarity sleep well" politely asked scootaloo with out looking away from the stove

"Good morning dear and yes thank you" rarity replied with a kind smile, but was switched to one of curiosity

"How did you know it was me and not sweetie belle,you didn't look" she asked as she sat at the table

"I learned how to tell the difference between a ponies magic signature a long time ago, it became second nature" informed scootaloo, teaching the unicorn of one of her vampire skills.

"A ponies magic signature?" Rarity echoed questionily not understanding what the pegasus means.

"You now how all ponies has magic in them besides unicorns right?" Scootaloo asked , when she turned and sees rarity nod she continued "well a magic signature is like that, but belonging to ponies as an individual not a species, so a magic signature is different for each pony" scootaloo finisher her lecture as she gave rarity some pancakes she had been making for breakfast. As soon as she finished her lecture sweetie belle came down stairs asking what they were talking about, scootaloo gave her some pancakes as she explained the conversation on magic signature before getting her own pancakes.

"I must say scootaloo, I would never guess you would now something magic related this deep, I'm impress" rarity said as they ate their breakfast " and your a great cook to, these pancakes taste wonderful" rarity added with a smile while sweetie belle nodded her head excitedly in agreement, hearing their praise over something so simple made scootaloo's cheeks turn red

"Heh thanks it was nothing" she embarrassingly replied

After the three finished breakfast they decided to spend the day together, before they left scootaloo went to the freezer and pulled out a bag filled with a red liquid, this caught sweetie belle's curiousity

"Is that blood" she asked a little freaked out that her friend would keep a bag of blood in a dresser like that

"Yeah, I got it from a pony named scavenger, he's a wondering merchant I met back in my filly days, when I need a blood packet he's my go to man "she said with a fond smile.

"Just how old are you really" rarity asked wondering on how long her filly days were to a vampire

"I was born in this century, I really am eighteen" scootaloo said nonchalantly

"But if that's true then can't your parents get blood for you" sweetie belle asked, curious on why scootaloo would get her blood supplies from a merchant instead of from her family. Hearing this question made scootaloo go silent as she looked down

"Because they don't exist" she said in a soft voice as she looked back at her friend with eyes that held pain and sorrow behind them, hearing this made the two unicorns gasp in shock and they gave their vampire friend a deserved hug, while giving rarity looked around the pegasus home in a new light now that the truth was revealed, she had been living alone since birth and probably didn't afford any of this with out years of hard work, knowing this rarity had now found a deeper respect to the orphaned mare for her acomplishments

After the hug scootaloo went ahead and drank the blood she had momentary forgotten to the last drop

"How long can a vampire last without drinking blood?" Wondered rarity as she winced at her friends drinking

"Some can lay longer than others, I can last two weeks before I need blood to satisfiey the blood lust" scootaloo said wiping the remaining blood from her lips "but I already had my weekly drink" she added

"Then why are you still drinking blood?" Asked sweetie belle wondering on the reason her friend continues to suck blood when she doesn't need to

"When a vampire drinks blood it's to keep the blood lust away and keep us from going feral" explained scootaloo , they nodded so she continued "but any extra blood afterwords gives vampires more power" she finished her lecture.

"Wow, so your going to drink blood everyday until your fight" stated sweetie belle, scootaloo nodded and they walked out.to enjoy their day.


That night rarity and sweetie belle went home after their fun day with each other after scootaloo walked them home, now scootaloo is in a grassy clearing in white tailed woods in her vampire form training her powers and abilities, she first her right hand, fingers splayed forward, then the shadows around her leaped in the direction her hand faced and formed long blade like tentacles before crashing into a tree turning it to shreds, this ability scootaloo calls night shater, a power that allows.the caster to turn shadows into multiple blades that launches at the target.

Next she focused on another tree, she moves her in its direction and bent her fingers inward, the tree was suddenly wrapped in thick tentacle like appendages coming from the shadow around it, scootaloo letter her hand up and the the shadows raised the tree up. This is called shadow bind, it allows the user to grab the target in its shadows, allowing the user to decide on what they want it to do, scootaloo clenched her hand into a fist and the shadow bind tightened its grip to the point the tree broke into pieces. As the pieces fell a larger chunk fell towards scootaloo, seeing this she made a shield appear above her head made completely out of her shadow. This is shadow conjure, a technique that allows the caster to conjure anything out of the shadows around them, this is why scootaloo didn't suffer any damage when the lycan shot it's attack at her.

Once the raining wood is over she used her shadow conjurer and made a werewolf to practice for when she fights the real one, it dashed right at her and tried to slash at her,but she saw it coming and jumped out of range, even though she created it, the fake wolf still acts and fight like a real werewolf, any creatures she creates act like the real ones, this is how she trains most of the time, she ran up to the fake and jumped to deliver a kick to its muzzle, sending the wolf back a bit, they stared each other down a bit, sizing each other up to see what their next move is, at once they charged at each other.

This is how scootaloo trains each night,and she would be training hard.

Her battle with the shadow lycan in shortly approaching.
