To love a creature.

I'm standing full of confidence and arrogance. As I look at her, she's been a very bad girl. Fluttershy stares back, it's one of those" powers" she has, the ability to stare into your eyes and take over the person inside, we hunters call it, "taking your soul." She wears a black cape with shoulder spikes that look lile fangs, but the intimidation factor is a little lost when the inner lining is fucking pink....Pardon my French, it's just, Im tired.

As I stare,"I see you've been busy Fluttershy, taking heads to ensure there's no...competition." My leather trench coat flips as I draw two short wakizashi swords and strike the folded titanium bonded aluminum alloy blades together making them spark, they are nearly impervious to corroding in the rain that pelts us, city rain is filthy, so its why she's not smoking from it.

"Is that supposed to scare me little Mark? Maybe the sword would scare a lesser vampire, but I am...a creatue of the night! Come at me if you dare...little man." she said with all the smug smart allecky bravodo a creatue like her would have, I only smirked, she staed at me, I stared right back at her glowing pink eyes.

''you know Flutterbat...Fluttershy, whatever you call yourself, it really doesn't have to end this way, you only need to just give yourself up and..'''

''Awwww Mark, my old beloved boyfriend, my sweet , innocent little Mark, have you not realized it it yet? I love this form, such power and grace the likes of a little mortal like you would never understand, if you want me to be that weak little punching bag I was when I was like you, then you're gonna have to force me to be the girl you once knew.'' She said as her thick, leathery wings unfolded and she stared at me with a gaze that melt most men. Not I, not Mark Phantasm, Canterlot High student turned vampire hunter by this strange and unusually unpleasant hunt this bat like girl had emposed unpon me. Oh Flutterbat, my sweet, loving Fluttershy turned into this, bizzare and unknowingly horrid form. What I must do, know that I shall do it out of love.

I said as my deep and sincerely as I could, goodbyes to the girl I loved, she was no more. What had once been the deep and emotional animal lover I fell in love with, now only was this monster that God or the being that I knew as Celestia, would never see as holy was walking freely. I longed to reason with the creatue, but here I was smirking as I drew my sword, a Japanese wakisahi, like the one I had drawn at her that other faithful night, in another world. Oh why must it be this way?! I silently asked all the forces of the universe, Princess Celestia in particular, wait...Princess Celestia? Wasn't it Principal Celestia? wasn't I just an eighteen year old Canterlot high student? why was I about to end my girlfriend's life like an episode of Buffy?

''Fluttershy, please...I know deep down, it's still you...would you only...I love you my sweet, loving little flutterbat....no Fluttershy.'' With that I take my blade and dive at her, she's in flight with those wings of her's unfurled and her fangs bared as I take a swing at her with my short swod, part of myself wants to miss...the other half realizing that it's a necessary task I have to perform. Then I woke up,

''Mark?'' My half vampire girlfriend Fluttershy asks as daylight makes her old self return to me. ''You okay my darlin?'' the pretty Fluttershy asks as her power fades, back into that girl my fellow schoolmates know her as.

''Yeah, I'm fine.'' I say to her as the nightmare fades away from me, for how long I cannot say, but all that matters anymore is her, the girl of my dreams, Fluttershy.
