(I might jump in sometimes to explain and try to ignore my spelling mistake noones perfect)

In the magical land of Equestria there was a terible apocalypse were most of the population of ponies was either killed or turned into monsters. What remained of the normal ponies banded together in small cumunities to survive. Our story follows my adventures though this dark time in history. My name is Sammuel (sam for short) and i'm a unicorn I have a blond mane and a cream coat with a wrench for a cutie mark because I was a mechanic before the apocalypse, along with my best friend Noah who has a red mane and teal coat with racing flag for a cutie mark becuase he used to be a racer

Now i'll start a few months in and we were on a scavenging mission to find resources for the scientist we rescued to make better gear for us to use, they already made a vacine to fight vampirism but it has to be injected at most 2 minutes after the inicial bite, (the way it works is it slows down how fast the heart pumps blood so the venom can't get very close to the brain. Unfortunately if you take more than 5 at once it could stop your heart) and we were told to use 2 for a neck bite and 1 for any were else because how close the neck is to the brain plus how much blood it pumps.

"Noah do you think we'll ever go back to our normal lives?" I had asked him, walking through the abandoned Ponyville streets.

"To be honest not any time soon" He replied hovering next to me.

"Yeah, hopefully" I sighed.

"On your left!" He yelled shooting his shotgun next to my ears.

"Ow!, i have sensitive ears remember" I said angrily.

"Oh right, oops" he smirked shyly.

"We better get back to base, it's getting dark."

"Yeah, but look it's a royal guard soldier" he said excited, royal guard soldiers meant more ammo, hey he or she wasn't gonna use it any more.

As a routine I put my hoof on his chest in case he woke up as a vampire and aimed my revolver at his head loaded with silver bullets a vampires one of many weaknesses. If he did get a bite of I had some vaccine syringes in my saddle bag along with ammo. And some abilitie boosters to level the playing field with a big group (they give you inhansed hearing, speed, sight, smell, strength, and reflexes by boosting the rate blood pumps through your vains, but you can't take another until 2 and a half hours later because it could cause a heart attack, yeah everything has some down side, it sucks)

"Lets make this quick before more monsters come out for night hunting."

"Okay" he said checking for ammo and other stuff.

When we got back to base our leading scientist Bon-bon galloped over obviously wanting to tell us something important. I dropped my saddlebags onto my bed in the sleeping quarters.

"Yes Bon-bon?" I asked anticipating some boring speech.

"How did you... never mind, we have a new breakthrough if either of you to can't get a vaccine in time we created a new syringe that fends off the feral part of the venom, the first time is 2 months and all the rest are 1 month like a prescription. We've been able to make 2 already and they take 2 weeks to create."

"So if one of us got bitten by a vampire when we're out of vaccine we can take this and now we'll have a friendly vampire on our side giving us whole new opritunities. "

"Yes but we couldn't get all the vampiral impulses under control like blood still has a distracting effect and eye color."

"Why eye color?"

"Well the vampirism makes your eyes red for some reason, we don't really know yet. Also we made some contacts that make your eyes a specific color, like they used to be. So you won't be wrongfully attacked by surviving pony groups."

"Cool now i'm goin to bed."

"Okay good night!" She called trotting off back to oversee the lab.

Hopefully nothing much would happen. How wrong i was.

"Sam wake up!"

"Ack! What is it?" I asked sleepily .

"We gotta go there was a small fgroup that was found by a scout drone, it's under attack by a minor force to us but huge to them!"

"Okay lets get goin."

I galloped as fast as I could behind Noah, although I was falling behind a little. We turned the corner into the small side street at the edge of town. We were shocked to see what was happening to the pour ponies. Before thinking I charged shooting my way through the small horde of vampires with Noah shortly following behind me. At the sight of me and Noah slauhting through the horde what remained of the small villige residents grabbed what they could make a weapon out of (gun,wood stake, silver knife stuff like that) to help us. Within minutes the once formidable horde was nothing but a pile of bodies.

"Thank you so much" the obvious leader chimed, he was a light brown earth pony with a brown mane

"It's no big deal we're just protecting what normal ponies we can" I said putting a green syinge in Noahs bite on his leg.

"Okay but do take this radio so I can contact you if we get invaded again."

"Yeah okay, by the way what's your name?"

"You can call me Dr whoves" (I couldn't put him with vinyl,lyra,etc because of the 5 characters max thing).

"I'll just call ya doc okay."

"Fine by me, bye now."

So me and Noah left to go back to base, I still wanted my two hours of sleep I missed. But unknown to me this week would be something I would rather forget for the rest of my life.
