Chapter 1

Author's Note

A fairly fast start but I got through it. AHH! I can you yelling at me already! " Everybody's done this already!" Well if you don't want to read then LEAVE, those of you that like the start please your thoughts... CRITICISM IS ENCOURAGED! As a starting writer I need all of the tips that I can get. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE YOU BEN!( Sorry about that.) Don't forget to change your font to Serif!

Chapter 1

It was a dark and stormy night. I know, I know really original right? Minus the stormy...... Blank Canvas, a traveling painter Pegasus from the royal city itself was making his way to Ponyville, the home of the elements of Harmony, hoping to paint their portraits.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug, how much longer is it? I had been asking myself this for a long time now. Its got to be here somewhere. As I said this to myself, I trotted over a small hill and simultaneously seeing the most beautiful sight I had seen in his week long travel, running out of food three days ago. Catching myself mid drool, I started down the hill towards the village. Inspirational right? well it would have been if I managed to get down the hill without catching my hoof on my cart wheel, sending me spiraling down said hill spilling the contents of my cart EVERYWHERE. Managing to gather all of my supplies, I continued towards my goal.

As I was almost to town I noticed I was in some sort of apple orchard, recalling that the element of honesty was a farm pony, I assumed it was hers and started my search.

Following a path of sorts, I came upon what looked like a Pegasus. But something was wrong, I assumed she, had bat-like wings? Excuse me miss?

FLUTTERSHY!! I heard yelled from a short distance away. Oh you're Fluttershy? It is a pleasure. I gave a polite bow, but something was still off.

Get away from her!

I heard yelled from over a small hill about 30 feet away from me, when I turned to see who exactly said it. It was the elements of Harmony!! Oh its you! I've been looking for you guys! Would you mind if I got you to- AH! I let out a large breath as I was tackled by Fluttershy, in utter shock I barely noticed her glowing eyes before she put her head down to my neck and proceeded to rip out a chunk of it! Then there was darkness.

Chapter 2

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 3

Going upstairs of my own free will to talk to Twilight, I noticed that we were in a TREE! Not only that but a LIBRARY IN A TREE! Putting that worry aside for the moment, I continued up the stairs also finally noticing the bandages around my neck, they were very well done, I wonder if Fluttershy did them.

My mind flashed back to the incident. Her. Ripping apart my neck . The realization hit me like a brick. I can never go out in public, my life was over and I sat down on the stairs for a moment, collecting my thoughts.

Good, you're up! Twilight said with giddy

Ya and fed, so you can take the leather jacket off, I'm not going to bite you.. She just stared at me before breaking out in laughter, what was so funny?

I'm not wearing this because of you! Its just something I'm trying out, it doesn't work for me though. I rolled my eyes. How are you felling?

Good for the most part, my neck hurts like a bitch though.

To be expected, you did almost die though. She said giving me a look saying. " did you think it would tickle?" But you are recovering very quickly to my surprise.

I suddenly got a serious look What am I going to do now?

I should have seen this coning. She whispered to herself. You are going to stay here until we can figure out your "inconvenience". For that she got an eye roll..

Being about three hours into the experimentation since I had the two glasses of the juicy red liquid, Twilight's neck was starting to look appetizing, but with Fluttershy observing the whole thing, I suppressed the thought. Kind of like when you're at a restaurant and the people next to you get their food first and you watch them eat and licking your lips. Easy to suppress but will get much worse

Canvas? You still there? Twilight caught me staring at her neck. Easy there Casanova! I told her all about who I was and what I was doing in Applejacks orchard. You still want that painting? She joked.

HELL YA! If I went through all of this just for a portrait you damn well let me PAINT YOU! I said the last part louder than I wanted. Drawing the attention of Fluttershy, who had fallen asleep not 5 minutes ago. Damnit! She was so cute when she slept!

Well then, shall we? She offered.

What? Now? I said a little flustered.

Why not, its was our fault you ended up like this anyway. She said calmly

Ok then, I guess we're doing this! Oh I forgot, Where is my cart?

Its out back. She retorted blandly

I made my way out back, to find my cart, surprisingly I found it in pristine condition! Wow Twilight is a neat freak, I was sure it fell over with me. Bringing a fresh canvas in, setting up the esle, getting my pallet and brushes ready, and noticing all six elements ready and ok with me painting them, and I began.

Ooooooh this is fun! Ha ha. Pinkie added apparently taking enjoyment in standing still while I paint her

About two hours later I finished my masterpiece, the portrait was of all of them in a circleish oval. At the same time of finishing, my stomach let out a large growl and all six recoiled, Twilight, staying at a safe distance tossed me a bag of the delightful red liquid and a plastic cup.

You know you can just hand it to me, right. I said giving her a look of disappointment.

He he he, sorry. She blushed.

From what I gathered, I was basically starving, I'm just a bit more hungry than puckish.. I deadpanned.

ok, ok, I get it. I'm sorry. her blush intensifying.

Its ok. I carefully picked up the blood and the cup, poured some and guzzled it down. AHHHHHH. It was soooooooo sweet! I let out a sigh of relief. Much better! Everypony also let out a sigh of relief

Well, I'm pooped! Rainbow Dash said lazily

What do you mean? I'm not tired. I said too late as I realized what I had just let out of my mouth.

Hey Canvas, Vampire.. No Duh Dash...

Ya ya, I think I'll just wander around town until dawn.

Ok, I'll come too. Fluttershy offered.

Thanks and hey, if I loose control, you can stop me. Although I doubt I will.

Ya, and I can get to know you better too! She said excitedly.

sounds good! I secretly wanted to know more about her too.

As we walked around the town square, now empty, Fluttershy and I discussed about what happened that night and how she got back to normal and theorized about how she could control my every action.

Maybe its because it was me who turned you. Kind of like master and servant? I would like to avoid of thinking of it like that for the most part

Possibly. I said continuing on our tour of Ponyville, it was a much larger town than I had originally thought.

We didn't stay out for too long, a couple of hours Flutters couldn't stay awake anymore, on the other hand I was wide awake. You know I need to decide weather if I'm staying up all night or getting used to the day.. Is it possible? I'll have to try...

I lay in bed thinking about the events of the day, I had told Fluttershy to get me up not too early but not too late around two o'clock n the afternoon . I let myself drift off to sleep

Author's Note

Now THIS IS NOT A TWILIGHT SPIN OFF, BLACK CAVAS DOES NOT SPARKLE! Sorry, this is the kind of vampire from the legends of old. SKIN WILL BURN, ASH WILL FALL, HEADS WILL FLY!

Chapter 4

Wake up Canvas! Not meaning it as a demand, I stayed asleep.

After a couple more tries, and a request, not as strong as a demand I gathered, so I was a bit slow but I was finally up. I looked over at the clock, I noticed it was about four thirty in the afternoon.

How are you felling this morning? Afternoon? Fluttershy asked not really knowing what to say.

I'm ok, a bit of a headache though. This, however was a lie, my head was POUNDING like a level three migraine! After giving me some light headache medicine, we headed upstairs for breakfast. Only to my surprise to see the windows covered with some sort of blackout curtains, a big banner hanging from the celling saying. "I hope you find a cure for the disease that turned you into a vampire!" How all that fit on one banner... I have no idea. From the amount of pink in the room I guessed this was Pinkie's doing.

SURPRISE! Was shouted at me from a foot away and to immediate right. Only Twilight, Pinky, and Fluttershy were the only ponies present in the library. So it had to be Pinky..

JEEZ! I screamed at the over-hyper pink mare as I fell.

Oops, sorry Canvas! The pink party pony apologized.

BE CAREFUL, I'll remember this the next time I'm hungry! I said getting a devious grin. I playfully chased after her, laughing the whole way.

As I caught up to her, I tagged her and proceeded to have a friendly game of "Vampires And Ponies". It being cut short by a slightly ticked purple unicorn who disapproves of running in the library.

Awwwwww! But we were having fun! Pinkie defended.

Ya its not like we can go outside! I said gesturing to the blacked out windows.

You can play at night! Besides, who's going to drink all of the "drinks" I just made?!? Twilight, still not comfortable calling it blood said.

Where do you keep getting all this stuff? Asked Pinky.

I explained Canvas's situation to nurse Read Heart, lets be honest, she's dealt with worse. She gave a frustrated frown.

Remind me to kill her last! I joked. I am taking this vampire thing very well! HA you're funny, I'll kill you last!

Ga! Twilight spit out some of her juice. You better not!

You want me to kill her first? I tilted my head in confusion.

Don't kill anyone! She was overreacting.

Calm DOWN Twilight! Jokes! You are suppose to laugh at the jokes! I was practically begging.

FINE! Twilight finally realizing it was a joke said. Anyways, I'm restricting you too half a bag a day. She then opened the door to the refrigerator and revealed the most beautiful sight I saw. Even more beautiful than Ponyville that day which I found out that I was out for three days before waking up so I think that justifies my earlier actions.. Off track, the fridge was FULL of blood bags! I just sat there like a dumbass for what felt like an hour before catching myself drooling.

I started for the fridge, noticing this she handed me a half empty bag, shut the door and put a padlock on it!

Awww! I said brokenheartedly, well did I expect any less?

Don't want you to go drinking it all during the night while I sleep no would I? The clever unicorn said with a smirk.

That's fair.... I guess. I said with a look of defeat. Pouring the contents of the bag into a glass, and realizing this was all I had for the day, sipping slowly.

Now, to the matter at hand, do you know if you burn in the sunlight? I would love to introduce you to all the town ponies Fluttershy asked politely.

I don't know, I've been locked up in a basement for a day. I said with a hint of sarcasm. I proceeded to the window, lifted the corner, which let some sunlight in, I, shakily raised a hoof into the light hesitating for a moment.... There wasn't more than a light sting!?!? Being the dumbass I am, I then opened the door and launched myself outside! No words could describe the pain! Not my hooves, chest, or stomach. My eyes burned with the passion of a thousand suns! I shut them in a hurry and curled into a ball and felt something drag me back inside Awww. I spilled my cup..

Author's Note

I can hear you already " You said SKIN WILL BURN, HE DIDN"T BURN!" Well I figured if the sun only hurt his eyes, Canvas could do a whole more than just sit in the library and only go out at night. But ya this chapter got the blood pumping! HA HA HA

Chapter 5

What the HELL were you thinking! By the voice I could tell that it was Twilight.

I DON'T KNOW!! I said still trying to shield my eyes.

Wait! I have an idea! I heard the scampering of hooves across the library floor, and then they came back. Canvas try these! I then had something thrust upon my face. I decided it would probably be a good idea to open my eyes now

Purple. Oh Celestia, THE SUN TURNED MY VISION PURPLE! Oh wait, no they're just sunglasses.

What are these? I asked the lavender mare.

Vinyl was handing them out at her last rave! Lucky too, I got the last pair! Thank Celestia for that!

Remind me to kill her next to last.. I said.

Quit it! Fluttershy finally spoke up. This is no time to be joking! You could have died! Her voice raising higher than I've ever heard it. Jeez I must have messed up bad.

I'm sorry Fluttershy. My head lowered about a foot I was just exited that I might be able to go outside again...

I understand, you just need to think things out before you do them. She wasn't this concerned when she was trying to rip my throat out!

Well, I'm going to try again.. It shouldn't be a problem with these now. I, ever the voice of reason. Here I go! This was wonderful! I'm not saying that the pain was non existent. But it was significantly better, after discovering this, I ran back inside and proceeded to dance and hug the SHIT out of Twilight! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Ha, ha! Yes!

I appreciate the gesture Canvas but, could you please let go? she begged

Ya, sorry. I just so EXCITED!

I'm glad, just be careful Canvas. Said a timid Fluttershy.

Well, what do you want to do first? Asked Pinky

Ummmm, I cant go back to Canterlot in my current state. You know what, with such simple needs, increased speed, strength. I might not want to go back! Earlier, not realizing, I crushed a glass on accident. I don't know. I would like to stay here if that was alright.

Of course, getting over the whole blood thing, you are a nice stallion. Oh you should go thank nurse Read Heart and Vinyl. The lavender mare suggested.

Ya, anything to get out of the house. Library? Tree? But ya I'm going to clean up first, I must look terrible! Twilight had told me my eyes were blood red! And my wings were like Fluttershy when she attacked me! I'm going to see Read Heart now. I then headed towards the hospital.

STAY SAFE! I heard yelled from the kitchen as I slipped my sunglasses on.

I nodded to nothing in particular.

As I made my way to the town square, I spotted the rather small clinic last night. As I entered, I noticed there were only a couple of ponies in the clinic, spotting a white mare with a red cross cutie mark, I thought I had the right mare.

Excuse me Miss Read Heart? The white pony turned to me

Yes, how can I help you? she inquired.

Hi I'm Black Canvas.

Oh, the uhh.... She trailed off.

Vampire. I whispered in her ear, not to alert her, meanwhile lowering my shades to show my glowing red eyes, also flashing my fangs I had developed. I just wanted thank you for the favor you did me. Cracking a smile to relieve some of her stress. She seamed to let up a slight bit.

Well you are certainly welcome, if you ever need more you know where to find me. It would be much better than ponies screaming in the middle of the night. He he. She gave a nervous chuckle.

Will do! Thanks again! I turned around and waved a hoof. I could see her wave back in the reflection of my sunglasses

I then made my way to the club, only to notice that it opened in about two hours later so I just wandered around, taking a minute to recover under the shade of a café umbrella.

I would have ordered a coffee, but.. As I arrived at the club again after talking to one Octavia, who claiming to be friends with Vinyl. Entering, the rave was just getting started, the first song I heard was a very good one at that. https://soundcloud.com/allmusick/move-your-hooves. As it ended I actually started to dance besides my protests.

Several hours passed and as it got dark, I took of my sunglasses and put them on my head. As the rave ended I made my way up to the stage to thank Vinyl, only to be stopped by some security guards.

No entry without a pass. The guard said nonchalantly.

Its ok guys, let him through. A voice said from behind the huge ponies

Ok miss Vinyl. He said respectfully. You can go.

I made my way through and to the whiter than Rarity pony.

Hey, nice to have you here. she said blandly as we made our way to her dressing room. Come to think of it, WHAT WAS I GOING TO SAY? Hey, your glasses saved my eyes from turning to ash because I'm a vampire!

You have a very good taste in glasses! She said pointing to my head

Ya that's kind of why I'm here...

Oh? She wondered why glasses could cause a visit to her. We then arrived in the dressing room.

So, what about the glasses? She asked. The pain in my stomach intensifying.

Well um.. The hunger crossing the point of my eyes glowing, so being the clever devil I am, I slipped the glasses down onto my face, ok time to stall. I was wondering if I could get another pair, for a friend of course. She gave me these and I'd like to get her some more. I said with a nervous grin.

Sure, you can have another pair here, take these! She slid her own pair off. Getting a glance at her I saw that she had a pair of eyes utterly matching my own!

What!? I couldn't help but yell. Smooth move exlax.

What's wrong? She asked.

I then proceeded to slide mine off too.

Her eyes widened in the same instant and we sat there dumbfounded for several minutes.

I cant believe it! She finally broke the silence. I thought I was the only one!

Well then, this an interesting turn of events. Was the only thing I could make come out of my mouth.

Maybe I could take you for a bite to eat sometime? ME being dumbfounded, she then proceeded to let out a series of vampire puns.

Well this was fun! but the sun comes up in a little bit and I'm getting tired. She said giving a big yawn You know where to find me. But seriously, we should hang out sometime.

Sure thing! I gave a reassuring nod.

See you later! she said

Bye! I returned.
