Hi. My name is Lotus Cake. The rest of the story, or at least every other chapter, will be through my point of view instead of Sunset's.

I should probably explain three scene in the cafeteria first. I saw Twilight walk in behind Sunset, trying desperately to get her attention. Her, being a ghost, couldn't get the attention of the living. I, however, being both a vampire and related to Sombra, could see ghost's.
Like sunset, i came from Equestria. I come back here for the school years and am in ponyville for the breaks.
I'm sorry... Got side tracked.
I sat down with a delicious looking cheese burger, and motioned for twilight to come over. When she did, i turned to her.

"Why is everyone ignoring me? Doesn't she love me?"

"Oh honey... You don't know?" oops. My sarcasm leaked through...

" know what?!"

" you're dead. Dead as a door nail. Dead dave. Irredeemably, unmistakably, irrevocably dead."

The look on her face was priceless. I couldn't resist laughing. Which is what brought Sunset over. Twilight tried to hug her, but Sunset went right on through. If she didn't believe me before, she did now.

"How can you smile at a time like this?! The school lost a friend! I lost my girlfriend! And all you can do is smile and talk to yourself?"

Good! she's making a scene. I needed this. Her friends, including my crush's sister, came over. I pulled out my pack of cigarettes making sure i had the attention of the staff, who came over the second i lit one up.

"I wasn't talking to myself. I was talking..." pause for dramatic inhale of smoke. I exhaled in a special way on twilight, making sure that the smoke made the outline of her figure visible to everyone else. "To her."

The crowd was shocked. Boom. Missions accomplished. I picked up my empty tray and placed it in its appropriate place, leaving the cigarette in my mouth for accent.
Lucky for my advanced studies, i got to leave after lunch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got home and went down to the basement. I hopped in the elevator and went way down. Upon reaching the bottom, i caught sight of Uncle Sombra playing with Steven, my giant pet worm. I'll have to tell you how i came to be in possession of a giant worm the size of a house another time.

"Uncle Sombra! Twilight died and i need help with something."

"Are you upset at her passing, Lotus?"

"Fuck no! Her girlfriend is all upset that she died. She feels guilty about her death, and i want to impress Sweetie Be- i mean, surprise her friends by bringing her back. Only problem is, I don't know a spell strong enough."

" library. Third shelf on the right. Center right top shelf. Just be careful? I lost your aunt and cousin the same way and for the same reasons. Promise you will stay safe?"

"I will. I promise."

I quickly made my way to my room. After setting my backpack on the bed, save grabbing one of the many peices of beef jerky and a mead that made up the contents, i rushed to the library on the third floor.

I quickly made my way to the desired book and pulled it down. After a few seconds of flipping through it, i found the desired page.

Ingredients: nightshade, vanilla, a petal of a lotus, a lock of the deceased's hair, and a censure in which to burn them.

Recite over the body, as you sprinkle the ashes of the above ingredients: like pheonix, rise from the ashes. I command this body to rise, calling the spirits of my ancestors to return the soul to this body. The power of the dead is at my disposal, and i choose to revive this body. So heed my call and bring life to this corpse.

After a full night, return and drip mortal blood onto the body. The body will have risen on the following night.

Great. Found the spell. Now to find the ingredients and steal a dead body. Should be easy enough. Assuming i can still call on Luna to become invisible.

Author's Note
