Vampire pony in Equestria

Chapter Three

I placed the comatose pegasus down on the cot staring intently ahead in deep thought. I had returned home her in tow, I’m honestly surprised by how stealthy this pegasus is. Even to the point where I had not sensed her till she had fainted at the sight of my… feeding. I couldn't really hold that against her though, but feel a little bad about that, I have been witnessed by humans in the past who were just as if not more so, terrified as this pegasus no doubt. I always feel a little bit guilty whenever I feed in front of scared people, and ponies I suppose. Sighing I spoke aloud, “ah well just couldn't be helped.”

I just shrugged brushing off my guilt away, one thing skyrim had taught me was that survival was a necessity. Even Jacob with all his power, and even his title of a hero, he isn't a very nice person most of the time. He stolen, murdered and defiled the odd tomb for treasure more than once. By most standards that is considered really bad at least to everyone else to me he is my brother, my role model he was understanding towards me and my need to feed. That was really all I needed, with his approval he had given me self confidence in myself, then went to teach me to be a better hunter as well as teach me self control I hardly if ever completely lose to my blood lust.

I’m not a nice person as well, I had killed plenty in my day, food is limited after all, with blood as my main dish I’m in constant need, animal blood is weak and only sustains me for a short time, most if not all the races in Nirn has a bit of magic in them that consuming it sustains me long, I had noticed the chimera has plenty of magic it shall tie me over for weeks.

As such it wasn't the first time I had lost control and had drain merchants or the odd traveler on the roads. I feel bad about doing so, but I don’t place much thought on it.

I stared down at the pegasus getting a good long look at the strange pony.

Her coat is a bright mountain yellow flowery color, her mane is a soft pink color same as her tail, a bit long I had noted the strangeness, reaching a hoof I picked up the tail, then heard something click as the rest of the tail falls down, startled I look down to see it was just some kind of… clip on? strange. I thought, continuing with my examination. I worked on her body my hooves touching at different places to measure her. She is of slender build, as evidenced by the muscle structure, “hmm, could be because she is a pegasus.” I mumbled to myself as I continued to examine her, her hoof shoes are matted with dirt and other things showing she has an active life on the ground, as I recall that most pegasi live in clouds, however I have no idea how that's possible beyond the simple answer that it's magic.

She smells of animals, with a subtle hint of flowery fragrance. Like nobles who have their alchemists make a substance called soap. Jacob gave me a bath with such a thing, it's oder was offencive to my nose and had made me gagging at the scent for hours afterwards.

Even now this pony is covered in the scent making me rather ill at the idea of having a sip of her blood.

A first time for everything I guess.

After giving it some thought this pony is the key to learning of the outside world, with some thought I nodded at what I would have to do to learn more of the world, and its inhabitants.

---- PoV Fluttershy ----

I jolted awake the vivid image of a filly covered in blood from head to tail after just feasting on the body of a chimera burned into my memory, I took a moment to realize I was in a bed, sighing in relief as I realize it was all just a dream.

“Yeah, it wasn't a dream.” I nodded at that, agreeing that it was to vivid to be my normal dreams…

I slowly turned my head to the unknown voice only to see.

The filly from earlier...

…

...

“Gah!” I yelped honestly the loudest I been in some time as I jumped and tumbled out of what the I had found myself in. My wings splayed out of fright as I fallen onto the hard stone floor.

I scrambled away frightened at how the filly had hopped down, I could see her wings, they are twice her size as she followed me all the way to the other side of the room, she had made not a sound while her unnatural gait had kept her at the same distance from me the whole tim- I was stopped by the wall behind me, my nerves jumped further on the panic I was feeling so in an effort to remain as far away from her as possible I didn't stop trying to pack off besides the fact a wall blocked me. So I ended up shrinking down onto the floor I had never left eye contact from the pony the fillies gaze pierces my own seeing everything.

My heart pounded in my ears like drums, I couldn't calm down, my breath came in short, I couldn't breathe! My eyes kept locked onto this creature's its gaze is so scary!

I was told my stare was frightening to some that it was some kind of magic, but whatever I do wasn't even in the same league as this fillies!

“Be still.” Came the command, then my body locked and I slumped onto the floor, breathing and heart rate at a normal speed, my mind confused at the sudden calmness.

“There we go, much better now isn't it my dear?” I lazily lifted my eyes at the filly, no longer having any motivation but to remain where I am and listen to her. She patted my mane, as if I was a puppy, I couldn't help but be soothed by her touch. “There there, no need to be so frightened now isn't there?” she said softly as I lazily place my head back onto the stone floor.

She backed off and seemed to search my eyes for a moment before whatever she had done had worn off.

But its effect was immediate I no longer had the feeling of panic and I can't help but feel comforted to be at the watchful gaze of this filly.

“Now then who are you?” She whispered, her voice tinged with kindness and love.

“I’m Fluttershy.” There was no stutter in my voice she just nodded at my answer and held out her hoof to pick up mine.

“My name is Rarity, I shall be your mistress from now on,” She had said so casually so powerfully I could only nod in agreement why wouldn't she be? She had a command about her, her beautiful eyes and her soft voice she had spoken with such kindness. With such strength and authority.

She had chased away my shyness and replace it with strength why wouldn't I want her to command me? Why should I fight at all?

“Of course mistress, how may I serve?” I had said without hesitation, bolstered in confidence and strength that was given to me freely.

She had smiled, leaving a flutter in my heart as I felt such pride and love towards her I could not help but return it. “I’m new around here, so I do not know the lay of the land as much as I would like. I want you to return to the village you have came from and get a hold of books and any such valued items from their library if they have any. Be discreet about it my thrall none shall know of this understand?” I nodded ready to head out to accomplish my task. But was stopped.

“Hold dear Fluttershy, I have equipment to help in your task, come I shall outfit you in items to enhance your already impressive stealth.” She had turned and I followed as she lead me to a area that was well lived in, the castle was looking to be in good shape as evidence of habitation was everywhere, things were cleaned and I see new carved furniture I had wondered if my master had lived here long.

“No not to long just a few months now, I have made this castle my own and have plans to return it to its glory.” She smiled as we had passed a garden in what looked to be the main chamber. I see plants that were exotic I also see strange floating lights acting as little suns for the garden. Much to my surprise is the old flooring stone bricks as they lay in organized clumps around the area.

“Oh my, I did not knew such lovely plant life existed, where had you gotten these my master?” I questioned she did not reprimand me for speaking out of term she seemed so kind and understanding.

She seemed proud of herself as she had puffed up her chest. “Oh my yes they come from a land called skyrim and I had brought enough seeds to start a garden here in the castle.”

I couldn't help but giggle this mare is so proud of this fact she seems to be preening in the attention.

We kept our walk to another room not far off from where I was. “The room you had found yourself in is yours to do as you please. Here is the equipment room where I had brought with me from Skyrim.”

I looked around I see hoof carved racks and shelves holding a myriad of items I’m unfamiliar with. Swords, axes, daggers held by the racks and the selves hold ores and plates to what I assume is armor.

My master walked up to a table and pulls out a chest from underneath it, upon opening it I peeked to see cloth of different make hover out with a glow of her horn.

I had stitched in my time, so I remain still as she went to work on measuring me and adjusting some kind of full body robe. Piece by piece she carefully worked the outfit onto my body, straps of hoof books were strapped on.

It wasn’t long as a crude full body mirror was placed in front of me, it was some kind of large flat stone with reflective surface. No doubt magic was used in its creation.

But I got a good look at myself, I was covered in a light blue coat that reaches out and over my now shorter tail as master had cut it to shorten it to effectively cover my body more. Under my coat is a black tunic and scarf, I noticed I could pull it over my face to hide my identity better with. I have dark gray pants for my hind legs that covers my cutie marks, the boots straps on the rear were secured tightly, I noticed if I were to try and place my weight in a certain direction I have a noticeable more better stance to remain steady. My front legs boots were a noticeably of a different build to allow flexibility for the front hooves. I had a hood in the same color as the outer coat that covers my long mane which was shortened so it is more comfortable than cumbersome with a longer mane. I had noticed everything was in a sort of noticeable faint glow about them. I stepped forward and made nary a sound. I made a noise in wonderment and got a small chuckle out of my master.

“I see you noticed, I had enchanted large parts of your outfit to better hide yourself even if you were to wore brighter colors, you will make little to no noise even if your tried as the boots are enchanted to muffle your movement. However try not to drop anything as it will break the illusion. The scarf acts as a sort of filter if you suddenly were to find yourself in that sort of situation if the air is bad. The coat has a perception filter of sort to make most not notice you unless you make them notice you. Lastly the tunic if you were to be attacked, has a chain link metal underlayer to protect you from light weapons such as a knife or dagger. The material it is made of is mithril so you should be able to absorb magic blows or magical canceling effects if a mage were to think you were in the area and try to dispel the illusions on you.”

I listened to the explanation it was amazing on how she knew exactly how to outfit me.

Something from across the hall floated towards me and wrapped around my chest and waist, I looked it appears to be a satchel.

“This item is enchanted, you can place any item inside, however it doesn't stop it from getting heavy, so you may have to make multiple trips, so I suggest looking for the more valued items rather than just stuffing them full.

I bowed feeling obligated to show my affection. “Thank you master I shall not waste this gift and shall accomplish my task set before me.”

She noded. “Make it so.” With that my wings sprang out from my sides and I bolted out the room down the fall and out a hole in the wall, I was on my back to ponyville to fetch the requested items, my gear hugged me tightly.

I will do anything to please my mistress, so I flew at my top speed that I would admit isn't really the fastest in Equestria, I will need to fix that so that next time I could outpace Rainbow Dash. So I have time to reflect on where I should go first to retrieve the items, I know that Ponyville library Golden Oaks will be having a new resident that will be showing up for the summer sun celebration, I also have to cancel my role in the celebration for I have to be with my master for when she will need me.

I will also have to get others to watch over my animal friends, maybe give them to good homes, it wasn't specific on how fast I have to finish my task, but I was told to be discreet and suddenly disappearing isn't a good way to get notice and have others search the forest and finding out about mistress. So I was to treat this like a scouting mission, so I can handle these affairs then move into the castle with mistress.

I see ahead of me the town, I will be making land soon and I'll make my way to the mayors place to give my note of resignation in the participation to the celebration.

Then its off to Golden oaks to snatch the required books.

I smiled, a spark of mischievousness forming at the pit of my stomach this is going to be a simple task I can accomplish, it shall be a cinch. That much I know.

It was quiet in Ponyville, everypony was to busy doing their own preparations for the celebration that be happening soon, to notice the only pony in full gear that completely covers and hidden their identity.

Confidant in herself the she did not even try to mask themselves as her smirk was visible for everypony to see. Everypony seems to avoid her completely without realizing of her presence.

She carries in a yellow wing a scroll with a red ribbon to keep it secured. Walking up to Ponyvilles government, she walking inside and past the secretary and into the mayors office, the mayor didn't look up as she had entered and walked right up to her and placing the letter onto the desk then walked out. She has a job to do and cannot waste time on it right now.

'Show time.' She thought, 'master is going to love it when I return with what she wished.'
