Blood Moon

In her cottage Fluttershy was hiding under her bed hoping that the night would come and go without anything scary happening. Despite her friends telling her that there were no such things as vamponies, she still felt that she needed to hide in case they did exist. For that night, she had things set up similar to how she would on Nightmare Night. She was hiding under her bed, most of her animals were under there with her while Harry was guarding the bed.

She gave her animals a smile and said, "Thank goodness you're all here to protect me on this awful night."

She began to read a story to them like she normally does on nights like this, a cheerful story that would hopefully prevent any negative energy from radiating from the cottage.

For quite some time everything seemed to be ok until Fluttershy began to get a bit of a headache, yet this was not a normal headache. Not only was her head pounding, her ears were hurting as well. She put her wings over her head and groaned, "Ugh, I don't feel so good."

Her animals tried to help her in any way that they could, her squirrels brought her some acorns but those did not seem to help. As time continued to progress her headache only became worse but something else began to happen as well. Her whole body began to change and her animals became nervous. Her wings were slowly changing into bat wings, her ears were changing, her eyes were turning red and she grew fangs. Shortly before her transformation was complete she hissed, "Run! Get out of here if you know what is good for you!"

At first her animals were confused as to why she would say such a thing but soon they knew the time to go had arrived as Fluttershy opened her mouth, bearing her fangs and let out a hiss. The animals, terrified, began rushing all over her cottage and in the case of Harry, broke the door down and fled for his life. One animal that would not make it out alive though was Angel. As he was about to make it out the door a heavy hoof slammed down on him and shortly thereafter he let out a squeak as a fang penetrated his body, killing him.

As Fluttershy flew out her door, she spit out the lifeless corpse of Angel and began to fly around, looking for more prey. She was soaring around hissing her animals' names, hoping to draw them out from where ever they were hiding but after seeing what she transformed into, they were going to hide as well as they could. With this being the case, Fluttershy decided to hide in the leaves of her cottage and wait for her prey to come to her.

Back at Rainbow's house she was fully dressed and ready to go. She opened her door, looked into the moon and then towards Fluttershy's cottage. She began to laugh, "Oh this is going to be too funny!"

She flew off towards Fluttershy's cottage ready to pull her prank. While she was flying across the sky, her friends saw what appeared to be the shadow of a bat. Applejack saw this and asked, "Did y'all see that?"

Pinkie asked in return, "See what?"

Applejack replied, "That shadow in the sky. It looked like a huge bat."

Twilight immediately had a feeling as to what was going on so she headed into the castle to find Rainbow. She searched all of the restrooms in her palace yet Rainbow was no where to be found. She screamed, "Rainbow Dash, when I get my hooves on you!"

She rushed back to the balcony in a rage. Her friends saw this and Rarity asked, "Twilight darling, what is wrong?"

Twilight yelled, "Rainbow lied to us! I don't know where she went but she isn't in the castle."

Applejack sighed, "Ah bet she went to scare Fluttershy."

Twilight snapped, "Well come on ladies, let's get going. If we hurry maybe we can get over there before she does."

The four headed down to the exit and rushed in the direction of Fluttershy's cottage. While they were all angry, Twilight was clearly the angriest. She just couldn't fathom that even after seeing how scared Fluttershy was that morning, that a so-called friend would want to terrify her.

At Fluttershy's cottage Rainbow had just arrived. She began to creep around the windows snickering quietly. She was peering through them until she reached the one that was in Fluttershy's bedroom. She figured that Fluttershy was likely under her bed and would likely shriek when she began the prank. In an evil voice she said, "Fluttershy, I want to suck your blood! I want to suck your blood!"

When Rainbow heard nothing she was shocked as she thought for sure she would get the yellow pegasus to shriek in terror. She began circling the cottage saying the same thing at each window until she reached the door. What she would see there would terrify her. She noticed that the door had been tore down but what bothered her more was what was down by her hooves, Angel's bloody, lifeless corpse.

"Aaah! What's going on?"

She rushed inside and shouted, "Fluttershy? Are you ok?"

She began searching the cottage, going from room to room trying to find Fluttershy. When she couldn't find her, she rushed out and began calling for her. Things became eerily quiet as Rainbow continued calling for her, hoping that she would come out from wherever she was hiding.

After a couple more minutes of looking around she heard some rustling coming from above her. She asked, "Hello, who's there?"

*HISS!*

Rainbow screamed in terror when she saw that Fluttershy had transformed into her Flutterbat form. As she tried to run away Fluttershy dove down towards her and knocked her to the ground. She opened her mouth, let out a loud hiss, sank her fangs into her neck and then clamped down on her. Rainbow was screaming in terror as Fluttershy was draining the blood from her.

Rainbow tried to struggle and did manage to get free for a moment but Fluttershy would not be denied. She again pounced on her prey, slammed her head into the ground and resumed sucking the blood from her until finally she breathed her last. Fluttershy was kneeling over her victim, sniffing to see if she was still breathing when she heard ponies approaching her. She crouched over her prey and began to growl.

Applejack saw this and asked, "What in the hay is that?"

Pinkie shrieked, "It's a vampony! Run for your lives!"

This caused Fluttershy to hiss and take to the sky. Her friends looked in terror as she looked down at them, licking her chops. Rarity was the first to say anything, "Run!"

They began to run away but it would do little good as Fluttershy was way too fast for them. She knocked Twilight down and bit into her neck, beginning to drain her of her blood. Unlike Rainbow Dash though, Twilight would have help. Her friends were able to wrestle the vampony off of her and using her wits, Rarity began firing energy at Fluttershy, chasing her into the forest.

Once it seemed as though the threat had passed, Twilight's friends gathered around her. Very weakly she asked, "Girls, what happened?"

Applejack replied, "Well you were attacked by Fluttershy."

Twilight looked down and saw two bite marks in the base of her neck. She asked, "What? How could I have been attacked by Fluttershy? She's not a vampony and even when she turned into a bat pony, she sucked juice from apples, not blood from ponies!"

Rarity replied, "Well darling, I think this blood moon may have done something to her." She began to cry as she continued, "And she killed Rainbow!"

Despite having very little energy, Twilight got up and they headed over to Rainbow's remains. As soon as they saw her remains they began to cry. Applejack, hoping for some sort of miracle, leaned down and felt for a pulse. Not only did she not feel a pulse, it felt as though every drop of her blood had been sucked dry. She wept, "Well ladies, she is indeed gone and we have an even bigger problem."

Pinkie cried, "What? What could be worse than this?"

Applejack replied, "Fluttershy drank every single drop of blood out of her and the fact that she went for Twilight shows that she's still hungry. We're going to have to be on the look out."

Rarity grabbed a hold of Applejack and yelled, "Let's get inside, quick! We never know where she might show up."

Everypony else agreed and they rushed into the castle, hoping that they could avoid becoming Fluttershy's next meal. They realized that they had to do something before she claimed the life of another victim.
