So, after a bit of a giddy excitement, i realized i needed sleep. Tomorrow would start early, most likely, and i would have to wake up with time enough to drink some blood before they get here.

I first fed and pet Steven, my giant pet worm from chapter two. I thought to myself on the ride back up that our elevator needs music. Not that crappy elevator music you get in businesses, but the real thing. I'm talking full on Disturbed blaring, Volbeat blasting, good ole metal music.

I climbed the stairs after exiting the elevator. My room being on there second floor, it was ideally placed between the bathroom and the second floor kitchen. Not to mention i had my own minifridge next to my coffin.

No. I didn't need a coffin like those fucking stereotypes say. I happen to like how comfy the silk bed and satin pillow felt. And the need of a blanket was nonexistent what with the lid to block out wind and trap in the air to warm it up. The cracks in the wood were large enough to support a flow of oxygen, while also causing the carbon dioxide to escape, while small enough to not keep me cold.

I laid down, almost dreading tomorrow...

Before i closed my eyes, my phone went off. It was sunset, pinkie, and rainbow in a group message.

What else do we need besides her body?

I took a moment, trying to remember.

A lotus blossom, nightshade, and vanilla. I may be forgetting something at the moment, but i am EXHAUSTED...

After that sent, i went to sleep. It was the usual dream sequence. Remembering my adventures, living them all again. The other sweetie belle... So beautiful and pure, even the red of my blood on her face was gorgeous...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning was... Eventful. It started with the girls coming over earlier than i had expected. I never specified what time they should appear, so they came about nine... I woke up after the events and had to explain. I got downstairs, and to my dismay, pinkie, rainbow, and sunset had gotten a glass of what they thought was Kool-Aid. Before i could say anything, they toasted and took a sip. Let me just say, they were not chestnut, nor were they sweetie belle. That is to say, until the author writes that story, they knew what it was, and they did not like it. Well, pinkie found it humorous and continued drinking. But the other two set the glasses down.

"Um... Lotus? Why do you have blood in the refrigerator in a pitcher?!" Rainbow Dash inquired.

"I-is there something you need to tell us?" Sunset added.

While pinkie was muttering to herself that she couldn't believe she fell for that again, i was trying to figure out how to respond.

"The truth would be a good place to start. You want them to trust you and your intentions, Lotus." Twilight said from behind me.

I took a breath and sighed. "I'm a vampire. I was turned back in Equestria when i joined the New Lunar Republic. It's mandatory by the decree of her majesty Luna that any military personnel be something immortal, and connected to the night do that we are closer to it. I chose to be a vampire. I could have been a werewolf, or a demon, but chose to be a vampire. In order for me to not go into a blood frenzy, i keep blood on hand. I didn't want to scare you girls off, so i didn't tell you. Pinkie knew as well because you can't hide anything from her..."

"Wait... You're from Equestria? But I SAW you attend school here for the longest, and you never go near the portal... How?" Rainbow Dash stated confused.

Smirking, i replied, " Yours isn't the only portal. I come here for the school year, and home in the summer. This mark? This is the eye of the moon. I got it as my cutie mark for finding and activating an ancient portal that led here. Of course, it deposited me in Egypt, hence the symbol. The rest, well, i use that portal often. It puts me where i need."

Sunset was shocked, Rainbow Dash was dumbfounded. Pinkie was smiling with her blood stained teeth.

Sunset face palmed and started digging through her bag. She brought out baggie containing the rest of the ingredients.

"How do we start?" Sunset asked, hope filling her eyes.

"With her dying" Sombra said as he grabbed me from behind as i felt cold steel pressed against my head.

Author's Note

Sorry it's been so long for an update. Some explaining is needed. First, her dream is reference to a role-play I am in. In it, she turned her party members into vampires. When sweetie belle appeared, she turned her into a vampire as well, because sweetie belle wanted to join the NLR. Second, Lotus Cake's cutie mark is the Egyptian eye of the moon. If you don't know what that is, you can google it. Next chapter will show lotus in pony form as the chapter image. But it will not be her exactly. It will be explained as it happens.
