"We're married already." Lyra poked her tongue out at Sweetie. "So what are you going to get me to do?"

The earth pony was sprawled on the couch, her back legs parted to let Nuzzles in at her groin. "Eating you up, isn't it?" Sweetie looked over at Lyra Heartstrings, the annoyed look she got back confirmed it. "Well, maybe I could get Nuzzles to bud off, twice. Make you take care of the pups… oh, or a whole litter!"

"A litter?" Nuzzles pulled one of his heads free of the feast his mistress was giving him. "How many is that?"

"Ten, I think." Sweetie reached her hoof down to stroke the head not suckling her teat still. "Maybe round it out to twelve, do you think that would have Lyra a bit busy?"

"You wouldn't…" Lyra looked over at her wife, a blush filling her cheeks. The thought of what would happen if she were left with so many of the little critters had her warming up. "No, you would. But I would enjoy that too much."

"Bingo!" Sweetie curled down and kissed the little puppy on the nose, tasting her own milk on his lips. "Still, it would be fun. What about if I got you to cast a spell, that made your horn more sensitive?"

"Oh! I could suck on her horn, then!" Nuzzles licked Sweetie's nose back in excitement.

"You could! Or I could." Sweetie straightened out and gave a happy groan. "But I do expect you to beat Dash next time."

"Next time?" Lyra sat up straight. "I can't believe all those things were in me, I looked pregnant with a big, squirming… No!" A pillow winged across the room, hurled by Lyra's magic at the giggling earth pony. "I am not going in there again just for your amusement."

The bell in the shop rang and Lyra held out a hoof at her wife. "No, you stay there, I got this." She slipped onto her hooves and walked out to the counter.

"What are your thoughts, Nuzzles?" Sweetie looked down to the little parasite drinking from her. "Know of anything fun we could do to Lyra?"

Nuzzles swapped heads and teats. "She likes your chocolate…" Nuzzles licks and teases around Sweetie's inner thigh, giving a gentle nip. The mare groaned as the venom worked fast, her body reacting to it by making more milk. "Why not make her a special batch?"

"Not really the kind of thing to do as punishment…" Sweetie liked the idea, though, after all, Octavia was using her… honey, for food. "But I think we could make Ly a special batch."

"Batch of what?" Lyra returned, stepping back over to the couch as the pillow she launched before floated back in her magic.

"Do you like my milk, Lyra?" Sweetie felt a little buck of the canine's head as they returned to nursing with both heads.

Lyra instantly blushed. They had been storing each other's milk since they got Nuzzles, but they weren't drinking it themselves… mostly. "Yeah…" She was quiet, but seeing a smile on her wife's face Lyra felt a lot better about the thought. "It's sweeter than normal milk, with a fuller flavor."

Sweetie nodded, closing her eyes in near bliss at the suckling pet. "Yours has a slightly nutty taste to it." She looked back at Lyra and caught the mare's surprise. "We are naughty, aren't we?"

"Wait a second, are you hinting at making stuff with our milk?" Lyra perked up, sitting up straight, her legs hanging from the front of the chair. "That would be… we would have to warn people…"

Seeing her lover leap ahead, Sweetie tried to raise her hooves to ward back the ideas. "We shouldn't really sell them… I mean, we could… it wouldn't be…" She went quiet a moment. "Do you think Octavia would give me some of her… syrup? It would be great if we could use more… uh, natural, flavors."

Nuzzles suddenly let go of Sweetie's teats, giving them a few licks to make sure she was neat and clean before trotting up and onto her body, giving a happy bark at the mare. Turning around three times, the plant-creature showed every sign of curling up to sleep. Unable to close her legs fully, thanks to the extra nip the little scamp had given her, Sweetie sighed. "Looks like you will need to run the shop for the rest of the afternoon."

But Lyra was intent, focused. She got up and strode over to Sweetie. Lowering herself down, her attention fully focused on her wife's rear anatomy, the unicorn gently lifted one leg up with her magic and leaned in.

Sweetie moaned in delight as the unicorn's lips found her swollen teat. She gasped as they gripped, then Lyra began to suckle. The world buckled for Sweetie, her thoughts decayed to simple things, like how much she loved her wife.

Gel felt anger. "She was… dead, when you got here?" His voice held steel, he was looking at the second dead pony within a week.

"Yes sir." The guard looked sick, this wasn't what he had signed on for and worse, he couldn't do anything about the poor mare. "Didn't see anypony else…"

Reaching out, Gel put his hoof under the stallion's jaw, titling his head so he couldn't look at the body and, instead, was focused on the changeling. "You did all you could. We will find this monster."

The stallion held his ground for three seconds before he turned and walked out, his hooves clopping on the floor.

"I'm going to Canterlot." Gel turned to Twilight, his wife didn't look happy, but nopony in the room looked happy. "Celestia and Luna… I will get them to keep the sun in the sky, for a week."

"We can't… they can't, do that. More than just this creature would die." Twilight sucked in her breath through her teeth. "It is just like before, isn't it?"

Gel spun around, feeling and hearing something odd in the pre-dawn gloom outside. "It's here!" He moved fast, faster than a solid pony could. He was at the window, head inches from the vampony as she winged back suddenly. "Got you!" Gel shoved forward, flowing fast, he went for the beast's face but she pulled back at the last moment, faster than any pony had any right to move.

"What are you?" Maddie spent all her speed to get back and away from the creature attacking her. "Was he here?"

Gel reached again, thousands of tendrils moving fast, swinging and trying to latch on to the creature of the night. "Hold still and let me end you!"

Mademoiselle wanted no part of this oddity. She pumped her wings and shot into the dark sky.

"Come back here you monster!" Gel stomped a hoof in wrath.

"Is it gone?" Twilight poked her head out the window above, the whole encounter only having taken a few seconds. "Gel, are you okay?" She blinked, her magic puffing a cloud of purple smoke. Reappearing beside her stallion, Twilight Sparkle was shocked at just how crazy he seemed. "We will get it…"

Maddie's sharp eyes scanned the rooftops, at last seeing a darkened house. Landing on a windowsill, she fiddled with the latch with a hoof before slipping inside. Her heart beating much faster than a vampony's had any right to, she pulled herself into the closet of the abandoned house. "What was that thing?" She felt a tremble of fear run through her, a sensation she had not felt for a long time.

"I don't get it, why would it come back?" Shining Armor looked around the room. The body had been cleared away but she knew where they had been.

"This isn't like her." Deathly was staying close to the alicorn's side. "She wouldn't do this, not the Mademoiselle I remember…"

"This isn't working, we aren't finding them." Shining leaned her wing down to curl around the changeling. "Every house, one by one. We will do it during the day, with a squad of guard and drones."

Maddie was woken just as night started to fall. "You can come out, it is dark." The voice sounded familiar and the vampony pushed the door open to see Sunny Days. "First," the unicorn's horn was lit, gripping the heavy blackout curtain behind her, "tell me you aren't doing the bad things… I… you didn't hurt me."

"I did not do those things." Maddie realized she was trapped now, if she tried to pull back into the closet the mare could tear the curtain down and cook her. "It…" She inhaled and exhaled slowly. "It is a long story." She stepped over to the empty bed and lay down on it, snuggling her leather wings in against her sides.

Sunny blinked, the vampony had clearly given up the little fight. Letting go of her lifeline, the curtains, she walked over to the bed and held out a hoof. It shook a little.

"You trust me?" Maddie lifted a hoof of her own up to clop gently against the unicorn's.

"I don't really know why, but yes." Sunny felt better, it was in the rules after all, you couldn't do bad things to somepony who you were friends with. "You… it felt really nice… you made me breakfast…"

"I apologize for the eggs, there would have been more but you had some old ones…" Mademoiselle quirked her mouth into a half smile.

Sunny started a little, her eyes wide like saucers. Thestrals had fangs, sure, but she knew the fang she saw, highlighted on the vampony's lips, had been rather intimate with her. "You could have hurt me, like…"

Mention of the deeds soured Maddie's surprisingly good mood. "A… child." She inhaled again, the action surprising Sunny simply because she suddenly realized the mare hadn't been. "A long time ago, I made a mistake. I was in the Crystal empire, teaching a most curious creature how to cook."

Finding a chair in the room, Sunny retreated and curled up in it. There was just something about the creature of the night, something that screamed 'predator', to her.

"He was sick, dying." Maddie gave a sigh as she turned her thoughts back, over a thousand years. She was just recently made a vampony. "I wasn't long to the night, myself. My creator… was not a nice stallion. Do not fear him, he met his end at my hooves." Adjusting her hooves, the thestral shook her dark purple mane. "My child was dying, sick. He would have died that night, if not for what I did."

"You made him a vampony?" Sunny's eyes were glued to the mare on the bed, no fangs showed, she wasn't smiling. "Is this his doing?"

"It is." Mademoiselle inspected one of her hooves. A glance out the corner of her eye revealed the sun was done for the day. "I followed him here, where it all began. I apologize for that night, I was hungry and I needed-"

"It's okay!" Sunny didn't realize why she was being so nice, she had every right to be angry. "You needed it, and it didn't hurt…" The unicorn mare's cheeks lit up as the memory came to her. "Didn't hurt at all…"

"We can do that, make our bite… nice." Maddie lifted her hoof to rub her chin. "With time, I could have made you not remember me at all, but…"

"But you needed it." Sunny Days blushed hotter and hotter as she looked down at her forehooves. "Do you need it now?" Somehow, her cheeks got warmer.

Maddie closed her eyes, smiling wide enough to show off two fangs. "I won't lie, I do." The sound of hooves had the vampony open her eyes again, just in time to have a snout pressed to her own as Sunny kissed her.

Sunny's mind raced, there was a thousand reasons why this was bad. This was a monster, a predator, a killer of ponies. She stopped and broke the kiss. "Have you ever killed a pony?"

"Once. My maker… was not gentle, he made me into this, and locked me in a room with a pony. I couldn't…" Maddie's thoughts went back to that time, of seeing the poor mare, looking at her with shock as she pounced onto what her body needed.

"It wasn't your fault?" Sunny felt an odd kinship, a togetherness, with this creature. Then something hit her right in the funny bone. "Sunny!"

Mademoiselle smiled wide, all of her teeth on display. Sunny watched the deadly fangs move as she enunciated, "Mademoiselle. The few friends I have known call me… Maddie."

Sunny gave a little nod, glad that she at least knew the mare's name. Leaning in again, she pressed her lips in again, feeling the softness of the vampony's own.

Caught up in the moment, Maddie kissed and nuzzled, making soft sounds in her throat. It had been a long time since she had been intimate… with anypony. She nuzzled up the mare's cheek, rubbing one of her elongated fangs along the soft flesh. She kept trailing it, bringing the fang down so that she rubbed it along where her previous bite was made. She inhaled, the smell of blood so close, still.

Gasping in surprise, Sunny shook her head. "Not… not yet." She pulled away, using all her willpower not to just relax against Maddie and let the thestral have her. Pushing up and onto the bed, Sunny nuzzled along Mademoiselle's thigh, then up and under it.

Maddie sighed happily, of course she had been with mares, but there was a difference in taking blood, and having pleasure returned. When the brightly colored unicorn's lips found her mound, the vampony gave a gasp. It had been far too long.

The taste was different to other mares Sunny had been with, stronger, more musky. She licked and kissed, nuzzling Maddie's vulva. The first nibble at her own mound surprised the unicorn into pushing her snout firmly against the vampony's, she inhaled deeply as sharp fangs brushed over her most sensitive flesh.

She heard the mare's heart speed up, every time she rubbed a fang against her, it was almost intoxicating to know she had the key to controlling a pony's heart. Maddie smiled widely, opening her mouth at the end of it. Her lips closed on one of Sunny's labia and she slowly sank her fangs into her lover.

Sunny's eyes went wide and she groaned out loudly, cutting her voice off by pushing her snout in harder. The bite had only the slightest prick of pain, barely anything, before the pleasure started. Closing her forelegs around Maddie's flank, Sunny kept groaning and moaning, practically trying to burrow her way into the vampony's body.

Blood and sex was a heady combination for Mademoiselle, she had not mixed the two for a long time. She gave a suck, feeling the body of the pony with her settle in. The neck was thick with fast-flowing blood, but the organ she was draining now had a slower flow, it let her savor the time and, more importantly, she got to extend Sunny's pleasure.

The unicorn couldn't keep track of time, or the night. She bucked, she ground, she trembled in release again and again, but still Maddie stayed attached. At last, as a particularly big orgasm had her clinging as tight as she could to the vampony, she felt unconsciousness loom up on her and trap her.

Maddie let go, licking her lover clean of blood and musk. "I must go, my pretty, but not before I take you home, to safety." She wrapped her legs tight around her sleeping lover, lifting her up and launching out the window.
