Fluttercord: Midnight
Oh No...
Previous ChapterNext Chapter4 months later Fluttershy and Discord were going to a forest, so Fluttershy could set free some animals that were ready to go out into the wild. They have done this many times, but on this fateful night something, else, was going to happen.
"OK, Discord, teleport us to the forest." said Fluttershy as she gathered the animals that were ready to go out into the wild again. Discord did so, and they were in a marshy forest.
"Here we are, dear." said Discord. Fluttershy beckoned to the animals to go out to the wild, some left, but over half were being stubborn. The animals were obviously not wanting to leave Fluttershy.
"Go on, you can visit me anytime you want. But, you need to get reunited with your family and friends and get back to your homes! There isn't enough space in my cottage for the sick animals and healthy!" Fluttershy recently became a vet for the forest and Ponyville. All of a sudden, the animals ran off, looking as if they were frightened.
"That's odd." said Discord looking around. A movement in the bushes caught his eye. All of a sudden, a pony with bat like wings and red eyes jumped out and sprang at Fluttershy. "FLUTTERSHY LOOK OUT!" cried Discord as the creature was about to bite her. Discord jumped in the way and was bitten. He fell to the ground and lay limp.
"Discord! No!" cried Fluttershy, running to the draconequus. The creature left, and Discord looked pale. "Are you all right?" Fluttershy noticed something odd. His pegasus wing was a bat wing, but the same color as it was. "D-Discord?" She remembered what happened before. She once became a batpony, and she couldn't remember what she had done, but since Discord was a creature of chaos, he can be much worse! Discord rose and disappeared, looking at Fluttershy, his eyes glowed. Fluttershy saw his teeth were sharp, and now he was gone. What was going to happen now?
"Oh dear..." mumbled Fluttershy as she took flight and started heading to her cottage, scared. She could have swore she heard a lot of rustling in the bushes on the way. Fluttershy got so frightened. Zecora's cottage was just ahead, maybe she could stay for the night! Fluttershy knocked on Zecora's door and Zecora answered.
"What brings you here at the dead of night, and you appear you had a fright." said Zecora, looking over Fluttershy, who was trembling. "Come on in and settle, while I make tea with the kettle." Fluttershy sat down at Zecora's table and told her the story.
"It appears Discord had changed into a vampire." said Zecora. She handed Fluttershy a book. "You can still find happiness with this draconequus." said Zecora. "But changing him back is what you will lack." Fluttershy knew that meant Discord will be a 'vampire' forever. Maybe he isn't a vampire, and she just saw things? Fluttershy hoped that was it.

Discord saw a strange creature. The same that attacked Fluttershy and him! He was ready to fight it.
"Come at me!" he said. The creature jumped at him. Discord dodged it, but, it sprang again fast and bit him. He woke up with a pain. He was at the edge of the Everfree Forest! Discord teleported to Fluttershy's cottage, and saw Fluttershy walk in.
"Hey, Fluttershy!" he called. Fluttershy turned around and gasped. "What's wrong?"
"Y-You're sp-sparkling..." stammered Fluttershy. Discord looked at himself and it was true! What in Equestria was happening.
"Huh. Maybe my magic accidentally did that. Wouldn't be the first mistake." said Discord, shrugging it off.
"M-Maybe..." said Fluttershy as she beckoned him in. Discord went in, and the sparkling stopped.
"It stopped." said Discord, not caring. Fluttershy looked more comfortable. She nodded and smiled. Fluttershy grabbed a book out of her saddlebag. She left the room, leaving Discord wondering what the book was for. What's the book about? Is it bad? It it about him? A bunch of questions flew around his mind. It was chaos in his mind, but not the chaos Discord liked. He pushed it off.

Discord wasn't feeling well when it started getting dark. Fluttershy was close nearby, not letting her gaze leave Discord for very long. He still wondered what was going on. Did Fluttershy see something bad? All of a sudden, a splitting headache attacked Discord. He fainted.
_________
"Discord! Oh my goodness..." Fluttershy ran over to Discord, who was laying on the ground, unconscious. When Fluttershy got near, he changed. He turned to the same form, like the night before. Discord jumped up and threw Fluttershy against the wall, when she got too close. Fluttershy tried to get up, and cried. She was in a lot of pain. Discord looked like he wasn't who he was. Then, Fluttershy remembered a chapter of the book. A vampire doesn't know what they are doing when they are transformed in the night. Then the chilling sentence streaked Fluttershy's mind. Once a vampire had a month of being it, the vampire will never change back to normal. Fluttershy cried even harder when Discord looked like he was going to attack again.
"Discord!" cried Fluttershy, losing all hope of getting out alive. Discord stopped, and she saw conflict in his gaze. Fluttershy took the opportunity. "Discord, remember who you are." Discord then stopped. He looked at her, and she saw a tear in his eye.
"I'm so sorry..." said Discord and he was about to teleport, but Fluttershy winced as she jumped up and hugged him.
"It isn't your fault. I read about this and you wouldn't be able to have control." replied Fluttershy. Discord snapped his talon, and Fluttershy didn't feel any more pain. She smiled up at him, and he smiled back. Maybe if he can control himself, this won't be so bad! Fluttershy and Discord sat around, talking. Fluttershy was feeling a lot happier, but Discord looked so different in the night. I wonder what will happen later! Fluttershy wondered.
