Twilight the Vampony: The Vamponies invade

I didn’t look back. I didn’t want to look back. Or well maybe I did but, that’s not important. What matters is I did not look back. I had to go, had to leave, had to run.

And so I did, down the streets of Canterlot, in the wet evening this had turned out to be. The cobblestone, marking the city’s roads were wet and slippery. Have to be careful I thought while my eyes were stained on the road rather than what was ahead.

Bad idea. I think I ran for 20 seconds before I hit something. It was big enough to make me fall over and feel dizzy for a while, but small enough for it to not hurt me. I got on my hooves as fast as I could, quickly eyeing the cause of my fall. A small sign with a restaurant’s menu. Of course. They have these everywhere, and their food is not even good. I honestly don’t know why some ponies bother with this peice of-

IGHT!?

Before I could finish whatever I was thinking of, a faint call for my name got me back in the moment. My ears searched for the origin of the sound, but to no avail. I decided to keep on running. Its not worth. She’s not worth it, I kept on repeating to myself.

Where could I run? Why would I run anywhere? Was life even worth it anymore? I hadn’t the foggiest idea how I should answer these questions, or if I should. For now, it seemed like my legs were just carrying me along.

I took a right, then a left, and then a left again. Why? I don’t know. Was I trying to lose her? It might’ve worked but then what? Hide forever? Not really a possibility. I searched around for something useful. I don’t even know what I was looking for. I saw cafes, boutiques, more restaurants and the like. What was I doing at this point?

I passed another building which looked like a small school, with all the playground gear and the big room for teaching. If I had to take a guess it would be the school for normal fillies and colts, earth ponies and Pegasi the like. Unicorns could be going too, but with Princess Celestia’s School For Gifted Unicorns, why would they be wasting time here?

I turned my head straight once again, still looking down occasionally to make sure I wouldn’t slip. I was still running to my surprise. Once I realized that, my body seemed to become aware of the fact as well. I had to stop, take a break.

I breathed. Out and in, and out and in. What if she was still following me? I took a moment to reflect. The rain was deep in my skin, but I didn’t really feel it anymore. I sat down on the sideway, looking up. Skies in every directions. Guess the Pegasi has decided it was time for a long rainy night.

Looking around, it confused me that ponies were outside. How didn’t I see them before, and were they even there? Of course I’m not alone. Why would the universe let me be alone on a day like this?

Multiple ponies were looking at me, some of them recognizing me, but I avoided their gaze. I was still panting. Maybe I didn’t have to run. I might be overreacting...

That’s when I saw her. She stood at the other side of the road, her eyes stained on me. I froze. Time seemed to slow down. Buck this, I gotta run further.

I got up, but before I could run I found myself in a magical aura. I tried to move but to no avail. Oh come on! That’s cheating... I was turned around to look at her. Water rolled down her cheeks, but I was unable to tell if they were tears or rain. I tried to look away but I couldn’t. She had me right where she wanted me.

None of us were saying anything, and I had the feeling that the ponies around had walked away. What should I do? More of importantly, what was she going to do? To be honest, I was scared. She was just standing there. She couldn’t expect me to make the first move... right?

“... If I put you down... w-will you stay? And li-listen?” the words left her mouth but I didn’t know what to answer. She... she betrayed me in the worst fashion. How would I forgive that? She continued, “I don’t expect you t-to forgive me, ju-just...”

It was like she couldn’t finish whatever she was trying to say. I didn’t feel any sympathy but my curiosity got the better of me. “Release me... and I will hear what you have to say.”

I couldn’t tell if she were happy, reliefed or scared. She gently placed me on the ground, but that’s when I realized that the levitation field had dried me off completely. The ground was cold, and the moment I touched it, a shiver went up my spine. Then there was the rain... great stuff. My before dry coat was a he opposite of dry in mere seconds. Damn you Pegasi... I will get you back for this.

“I-I know that you hate me for what I d-did but I swear on my life that it was an accident...” she started, not convincing me the tiniest bit. “You have every right to hate me, but I beg of you, please! I’m so so so so sorry!”

“Oh, you’re sorry?” I asked, the coldness in my voice booming. She nodded quickly with a worried look on her face. “Well then. I guess everything is alright then,” I lied turning around, awaiting her answer.

“R-really?”

I spun around to watch her directly in the eyes as I spoke my next sentence. “Of course not! You expect me to forgive you for what you did?! On behalf that it was an ‘accident’ as you say?! Buck no! Is that reall y what you came out here to say? What you chased me halfway cross the city to say?!” I had reached screaming level in my voice and I saw her back away from me. I snorted as I walked away from her. Only one place to go now.

I made my way towards the bridge that led to Canterlot Castle, once again not looking back. I didn’t feel bad for what I said. She deserved every bit of it and more.

I felt the bridge under my hooves when I heard someone shout. I looked in the direction and saw a pony running towards me on the opposite side. I walked a little faster to meet him when a loud sound originated from beneath my hooves. Just then, I felt the bridge fall down, and me with it. Time itself stopped as I realized what happened.

The noise... it must’ve been an explosion. The bridge went down with me on it and the pony shouting must’ve known about the bridge. I wasn’t afraid of death but in this very moment I felt very afraid.

Time seemed to speed up again as I fell into the dark abyss benath me, never to see the light of day again...
