the Transformation

“Ugh, why do you bring me here?” Watchman asked his friend.

“Because you need to meet somepony.” he replies. Watchman looks at the club he entered, and hears a DJ, but can’t see the booth.

“Hey, who’s the DJ tonight?” Watchman asks the bartender.

“DJ pon3. What’ll it be buddy?” the bartender replies.

“Uh… long island iced tea?” Watchman asks.

“Sure thing. Give me second, please.” the bartender replies. Then, a song starts to play watchman doesn't recognise it a white mare with purple shades sits next to Watchman.

“Hello,” Watchman says.

“Sup,” the mare replies.

“What is your name? I’m Watchman.” Watchman says.

“Vinyl Scratch. Nice to meet you, Watchman.” Vinyl replies and shakes his hoof.

“Here you are,” the bartender says and gives Watchman his drink, and he drinks it.

“What’ll it be Vinyl?” the bartender asks her.

“Just a Bloody Mary, please,” she says, and the bartender makes an awkward face, then heads to the back.

Watchman starts to feel light headed, “What the-” he says and blacks out. He wakes up a little while later to find Vinyl kissing his neck. He then feels a pain, and pushes her off. She bit him and drew blood, so he instinctively clutches his neck and looks at the mare. Vinyl shoves a bottle in his mouth, and he almost chokes, swallowing some of the metallic tasting liquid in the bottle.

He wakes up in his room, and is oddly thirsty. He goes to the fridge and chugs a whole jug of milk. He immediately runs to the bathroom and throws up blood. He isn’t fazed, this happens when he drinks. He sits down on his white couch and watches the news. As he does this, his doorbell rings and he gets up to answer it. He finds Vinyl is at the door.

“Hi, Watchman! May I come in?” she asks.

“Uh… sure.” Watchman replies, and Vinyl walks in. He grabs his neck to feel two swollen bumps.

“What did you do to me?” he asks.

“I should have told you… I BITE!!!” she says and hisses. Two enlarged canines appear and he jumps back, running for the door. She’s at the door, standing in front of it.

“Where do you think you’re going?” she asks creepily and cackles. He runs for the gun that he keeps in his drawer, but she is already there with it in her magic, aiming at him.

“Bang.” she says and cackles again. He runs for the kitchen and she isn’t there.

“I feel like this is from a movie.” he hears her say and looks up. She is standing on the ceiling. She laughs and he screams when he sees her. He runs upstairs, and finds she is sitting on his bed.

“This is getting boring.” she says, and he runs to the bathroom, slamming the door shut. He can hear her at the door, scratching.

“Let me in,” Vinyl says in a creepy voice and giggles.

“Please… stop” Watchman cries.

“What? Am I scaring you?” Vinyl asks with an innocent mock through the door.

“Yes! Please, just stop!” Watchman wails.

“Ok, open the door then,” Vinyl replies, Watchman opens the door. She tackles him, and he can feel her breath on his chest. She is hugging him.

“You're the first one who let me in,” she says and kisses his cheek. He tries to hide the fact that he is blushing. They just sit on the bathroom floor until midnight. Then there are more doorbells. A gray mare with a cleft note for a cutiemark, a green unicorn mare with a quill cutiemark, and a red mare with two fireballs as a cutiemark stand at the door outside. Then there’s a knock instead of a bell, and a gray pegasus mare with bubbles as a cutiemark is at the door. Watchman walks into his living room, and asks the mares,

“Anybody want something to dri-” he begins, but stops as they look at him with red eyes, “N-nevermind.” He walks back into his bedroom, and sits until the mares walk in.

In almost a line formation, they sit at the edge of his bed and Vinyl says, “You need to be introduced. Girls, this is Watchman. He does not yet know our ways, so introduce yourselves.”

“I am scripture, and am happy to meet your acquaintance.” the green unicorn says and bows.

“I am Octavia, and I wish for you to refer to me as such.” the gray mare says and nods.

“I am Derpy Hooves, and uh, what they said.” the gray pegasus says and looks away, embarrassed.

“I am hot head. It is nice to meet you.” the red mare says. They all look at him with their red eyes, and Watchman slowly realizes he hadn’t introduced himself, yet. Vinyl had, so he says,

“Hello, I am Watchman. It is nice to meet you all, and I do not mean to be disrespectful when I say I am really creeped out. Can you tone it down, please?”

The mares look to Vinyl, “It is ok girls. He does not, yet, know our ways, but he will learn.” She says.

“What do you mean?” Watchman asks. The mares exchange glances.

“You mean you don’t know?” Derpy asks him.

“Know what?” Watchman replies, confused.

“You are to become a vampire.” scripture replies. Watchman, stunned, forgets to breathe, and coughs for a few seconds.

“The transformation is not yet complete. We must protect you here for you to fully transform.” Vinyl says to him.

Octavia looks at him with her red eyes, “Sleep,” she says, and Watchman falls onto the bed. He is paralysed when he feels something. The mares are sleeping next to him, on both sides. Vinyl is practically hugging him, and Octavia has a hoof on his chest. He is eventually overwhelmed by sleep and falls into a restful slumber.

Lessons

Watchman awakes to the smell of food. He sits up and sees the mares are now at the end of his bed. He notices the window open and the mares standing in the sunlight.

“Shouldn’t you be dead?” Watchman asks and motions to the window.

“No, we need to go across this. Now, ok, the sunlight only weakens us, stakes can be fatal if through the heart, holy water only weakens us for a short time, and holy objects have a chance of being fatal. Garlic is not even a thing, so I don’t know where ponies got that idea. We have enhanced speed, healing, senses, and strength, all of which do not work in the sun. We can shapeshift, but only certain vampires.

Silver is fatal only if consumed, fire does work, drowning is fatal only in holy water, decapitation only works with silver, and the invitation into the house thing does work. We are immortal to a certain extent. Certain vampires have pyrokinesis, such as myself, and that is pretty much all you need to know.” scripture replies.

“Can you warn me the next time you lecture me?” Watchman asks.

“Hey!” scripture says.

“Girls!!!” Octavia says, “Let’s be collected. Now, Watchman, I will shut the window, and we will test what powers you have.” She walks over to the window and shuts it, and the room immediately goes dark. Watchman tries to transform into a cat but he feels nothing happen. He thinks of fire, but then starts to think of scripture’s speech

“Hey!” he mocks her in his mind.

“Did you just talk to me?” scripture asked.

“What is she talking about?” Watchman thinks to himself.

“Oh my gosh! He is telepathic!” scripture gasps.

“Oh, great. Another one.” Octavia thinks.

“Does she mean Vinyl?” Watchman thinks to himself.

“Yes.” he hears in his mind. Startled, he jumps, and his hooves catch fire.

“And a pyro!?” scripture exclaims.

“No, no!!!” Watchman hears scripture’s voice in his head, and sees her in a barn that is on fire. He drops to the floor, unconscious. He awakes at his table, three plates in front of him. One with a cup with what looks that of wine, and another with what looks like packets of red powder. The last looks like tomato soup.

“These are our ways of feasting.” hot head says. The others aren’t there.

“This,” she starts, and points to the first cup, “is what Octavia prefers. It is blood mixed with wine.” hot head continues. “Not my first choice, but this here is mine.” She says and points at the packets, “It is powdered blood. You can put it in water, on food, or just eat it. It’s your choice.”

“This,” hot head says, almost gagging, “is Vinyl’s. It is just blood, but she makes it look like tomato soup. I, personally, think it is gross.”

“Well, can I try them first?” Watchman asks.

“Oh, yeah. Sure, go right ahead.” hot head replies, and Watchman reaches for the wine glass and takes a sip. It tastes awful! He doesn’t spit it out, but spits it back in the cup. He reaches for the packets, opens one, and dumps it in his mouth. It is still metallic, but has a sweet side, sweeter than the wine blood, at least.

“This is the one I like, I think.” Watchman says. “Oh, yay! We can have lunch together, then. I mean if you want to?” hot head asks.

“I think that would be ok...” Watchman replies, and hot head giggles.

“Hey, uh, Watchman, you got some uh...” she gestures to her mouth, and he wipes his mouth, laughing.

“So, uh, how did you, yah know?” Watchman asks.

“Oh, turn? Well, I used to work in Ponyville about 150 years ago-” hot head says.

“Uh… double take what?” Watchman asks.

“Oh, yeah, I am 172 years old.” hot head replies and blushes.

“Well… it does not show, so continue.” Watchman says.

“Awe, you're sweet! Anyway, I worked at a small granary, and a stallion showed up one day, asking for some help with his wagon. I obliged, and followed him, and he knocked me out. And, well, you can guess the rest.” hot head says.

“Yeah. Wow, well, that is an interesting story.” Watchman says.

“Hey, you should go ask scripture for her story.” hot head says, and walks into the pantry. Watchman walks over to scripture.

“Hey, uh, I wanted to know how you-” Watchman starts.

“Turned? Ok, well, about 1026 years ago, I was a maid at the castle of Brenea II, when a mare told me to go and clean the study. When I was cleaning, somepony came up behind me and… well, yeah...” scripture finishes.

“Well, then,” Watchman says, “thank you for that.” and walks to his bedroom. He goes to sleep and wakes up to Octavia staring at him in the dark.

“Ok, stalker alert!” Watchman says with humor. Octavia walks to the end of his bed,

“Can… I lay down with you?” she asks.

“Wait… what?” Watchman asks, “I thought you hated me?”

“Oh no, I just am different when I’m around them is all.” Octavia says.

“Sure then, come here.” Watchman says, patting his hoof to his left. Octavia climbs up onto the bed and cuddles with Watchman. It was odd to him that, even though she was so close, she was so cold. He goes to sleep again, only to be woken up by Octavia mumbling in her sleep. She seems scared, so Watchman touches her head, then kisses her head. She begins to quiet, and he falls back asleep. In the morning, he awakes to a cat purring on his stomach.

“What the-?” Watchman says, and the cat wakes up and looks at him. Smoke swirls around it, and it turns into Octavia.

“Sorry. I do that in my sleep sometimes.” she says.

“You are very cute as a cat. I mean, you are cute like this, but that’s cool.” Watchman says, and Octavia blushes. Watchman gets up and walks to the kitchen to make himself cereal with a packet when the door flies open and ponies rush in from all directions, their guns pointed at him.

“Don’t move!” a gruff female voice says to him, then something is dragging him away.

“Nooo!!!!!” he screams, but he blacks out.

A not so good cell

Watchman wakes up by being splashed by water, holy water, and he screams in pain.

“To get you to talk, we will feed you, you hear?” a voice says and something slides across the floor in a basket. He hears whimpering inside, and he moves the blanket that was covering it. Inside is a filly, not even that old, in the basket. She looks up at Watchman, and screams. The stallion’s eyes are glowing red because it is night time. The filly runs to the other side of the cave, and sits there crying, trying to comfort herself. Watchman just sits, watching the filly. He finally gives up and lays down. He doesn’t sleep, he just lays down and looks at the filly. She begins to hum a song Watchman recognizes, and he hums along softly to himself

“I am not going to hurt you.” Watchman says, “I am not like that.”

The filly looks at him, “I-I'm still s-scared,” the filly replies. Watchman walks slowly to the filly, and she starts to back up, but Watchman repeats,

“I am not going to hurt you.” he sits next to her.

“Why are you here?” the filly asks.

“Because I’m different,” Watchman replies. Just then, the door opens, and three guards see the filly still alive and pull out a sword. Watchman jumps in front of her and hisses, baring his teeth. Frightened, the guard backs off, but a rainbow maned pegasus walks in front of that guard and throws holy water at Watchman, and he barely flinches.

“Who are you?” she asks.

“I’m your worst fucking nightmare” Watchman says.

“Oh, yeah, sure.” the pegasus says.

Watchman launches at the mare and slams her into the wall, biting her neck only to draw blood. He backs up, licking the blood off his lips,

“You taste horrid!” he scowls and cackles.

The pegasus leaves, as do the other guards, but the filly was is in the corner whimpering again.

“I didn’t do anything to her. I just bit her only because she was trying to hurt you.” watchman says sympathetically. The filly steps forward and smoke swirls around her, she turns into Octavia.

“Surprise.” she says.

Watchman just stares, confused, “How?” Watchman asked.

Octavia points to the corner, the filly still there, but asleep. Watchman picks up the filly, and puts her on his back.

“Let’s go.” he says and busts through the door. Guards pile in as soon as they see the vampire. They let them past with terrified faces. When the rainbow maned pegasus came in, Watchman clocks her in the jaw as he runs past.

“We got a ride?” Watchman asks Octavia. At this, Octavia jumps out of a window and returns with an odd device. She pushes a button and a cluster of bats carry them to a snowy mountain ledge, and they sit.

Watchman feels the filly shiver, “Do you have a blanket?” he asks.

“Yeah, here.” Octavia replies and hands him a small blanket that he wraps the filly in. She wakes to see him,

“What happened? I remember you jumping in front of me, and then I can’t remember anything.” the filly says.

“Hush, child. You are alright now, and that is all that matters.” Watchman replies, and hugs the blanketed filly to his chest. He hopes it will warm the filly a little bit more, he then feels something warm on him.

“Here, put this on her.” Octavia says and gives him a necklace.

“What is it?” Watchman asks.

“It is a heat amulet. I enchant them.” Octavia says.Watchman smiles in appreciation and puts the amulet around the filly’s neck.

“What is your name?” the filly asks.

“Watchman. What's your’s?” Watchman asks.

“Gabriel. Daddy told me that's what Mommy wanted to name me.” Gabriel says.

“Octavia, where are the others?” Watchman asks Octavia.

“Everyone escaped except you and…” Octavia replies.

“Who, Octavia? Who?” Watchman asked.

“scripture. They killed scripture.” Octavia says sadly, “They burned her inside the house.”

Watchman feels sorry for the mare he didn’t get to know. Then watchman notices the filly start to breath heavily, and realises she is looking at Octavia, Octavia’s eyes red.

“It’s ok, Gabriel. This is Octavia, and she won’t hurt you, I promise.” Watchman says. Gabriel looks at him, unsure of it.

“Can I sit on your back?” Gabriel asks Octavia. The mare is surprised, but obliges. The filly climbs onto Octavia’s back.

“RAAAAAAH!!!” a female voice yells, and Watchman catches glimpses of rainbow colors. He jumps and kicks the pegasus into a rock, and puts her blade to her throat.

“Why don’t I kill you so I don’t have to deal with you anymore?” Watchman asks the mare. The pegasus her eye’s empty just stares into his eyes, then starts to struggle to kill him Like a rabid animal. she cuts her own throat on the blade and dies in seconds. Watchman just stares, horrified.

“Don’t let Gabriel look!” he says, and examines the body. Everything is normal, except where he bit her was black and infected. He then picks up the body and buries her.

“She may have been evil, but she doesn’t deserve to sit out here and rot.” he says. The three ponies walk into the nearest town, the townponies staring at them in horror. Watchman remembered their eyes glow red around regular ponies, but as they walked on. Ponies started to throw things like rocks, food, and wood. Then, a rock hits Gabriel in the head.

Watchman stops dead in his tracks, turns to the crowd of ponies, and yells “WHO THREW THAT!?!”

A colt from within the crowd raises his hoof, terrified.

“Step forward now!!!!” Watchman screams.

The colt steps forward, and Watchman disappears from where he was, and reappears in front of the colt. Watchman grabs the colt by the ear and walks him to the filly.

“Tell her you're sorry! Tell her, now!” Watchman snarls.

“I-I’m sorry.” the colt squeaks in pain and fear.

“Good boy. Now tell the town they are lucky it was a kid who hit this filly. Otherwise, they would have had one less resident. Besides, she isn’t a vampire!” Watchman says.

“Wait, what?” the colt asks, “Are you going to kill her?”

“No. I am bringing her to her home, if she has one.” Watchman looks at the filly with a face of pain, then looks back to the colt.

“Please tell them we mean them no harm.” Watchman says, “Now pop off!!!”

The colt runs to the crowd and says something. Some look with confusion, some with hope, and others with doubt, but no one does anything. The trio continue on their path.

~~~~~~~~

They are back in Watchman’s apartment, it is burned to the ground, in the rubble He finds a key scripture always kept around her neck, and puts it around his neck. With that, they begin to leave the apartment, but as they do so, they bump directly into Vinyl.

“Oof!” Vinyl exclaims, falling on her bottom.

“VINYL!!” Watchman yells and throws his forelegs around her. hot head walks in behind her and gasps when she sees Watchman.

“We thought you were dead!” Vinyl says.

“Well, I’m not.” Watchman says.

“You should be!!!!” Vinyl yells, “They were suppose to kill you!”

“What?” Watchman asks, heartbroken.

“I gave them our location so they would kill you.” Vinyl says bluntly. Watchman is falling through black, he doesn’t understand.

“Why would you do that!?!” Watchman yells, furious.

“Because you weren’t suppose to exist!!!” Vinyl yells at him.

“You son of a BI-” Watchman feels something prick him in the neck, and pulls out a small dart.

“A tranquiliser? What the fu-u-u-u…” watchman says drowsily and drops to the floor.

The nightstalkers

Watchman hears screams in his sleep. Seeing ponies running from him, he wakes up.

“Welcome, Watchman, to ze Night Stalkers” a female voice says as he opens his eyes to see a gray mare with fangs

“Where am I?” he asks groggily.

“Where you belong.” the mare replies.

“Who are you?” Watchman asks.

“My name is Laetitia Barnave, and I am ze leader of ze Night Stalkers.” the mare replies

“Oh. Hi, then!” Watchman says, and Laetitia gives him a look, but it fades and she smiles. Watchman then realises that Gabriel isn’t with him.

“Where is the filly that was with me!?!” he asks, panicked.

“All in good time, but first we must discuss some sings.” Laetitia replies, beginning to walk.

‘The accent I am going to need to get used to.’ Watchman thinks.

“You should keep your soughts to yourself!” Laetitia says, stunned Watchman stops for a second, until he remembers that some vampires can read minds. Laetitia walks into a room. With Watchman following her, she sits in a chair and motions for him to sit as well.

“Now, we must go over ze different vampires before anysing. Ze first zing is when a vampire bites its victim. It has 24 hours to have ze victim drink vampire or pony blood. If zey drink pony blood, zey turn into what we call half breeds. Zey have some of ze powers of us vampires, but none of our weaknesses. If zey drink vampire blood, well you can probably imagine, but if zey do not consume any blood zey will turn into “corpses” as we call zem.

Zey are like us vampires, except zey kill for fun and zey are like ze living dead. Zey have only enough brain power to walk and attack, but if zey were let in here, zey would extinct us. Now zat zat is out of ze way, I want you to be my right hoof stallion.” Laetitia says.

“Wait, what?” Watchman asks.

“I want you to join me.” Laetitia replies. As Watchman contemplates the strange mares intentions, he searches her face, but sees nothing.

“Ok. You need some time to sink about it, but in ze meantime, let us go to a show” Laetitia says.

“I guess that would be okay.” Watchman replies. Laetitia motions for him to follow her, then walks down a brightly lit hallway, the sides are decorated with something that looks like tinsel when Watchman realises it is actually barbwire. The walls are a dark yellow with columns. In between each column is a window that shows the outside.

“So, what is this show you are taking me to see?” Watchman asks Laetitia, but she doesn’t respond.

The mare keeps walking until they enter a sort of arena. It is circularly shaped, the seats on the outside with a roof for protection from the sun. The arena is of course not covered, but the strange thing is, the arena isn’t empty. There is an odd sort of pedestal in the center, making Watchman want to question it, but he decides it might be rude. Watchman and Laetitia take a seat and a pony walks out into the arena. It is Vinyl, and the sight of her makes Watchman a bit confused, but he continues to watch anyway.

“This pony who faces you today, has failed in her mission to kill the vampire she made! And because of that, she must be punished!” says a stallion on a podium, “The punishment is DEATH!” he finishes, and a large stallion walks into the arena wearing a peach mask.

“That is an executioner.” Watchman thinks, “This is bad.” Watchman wants to help the mare who he thought was his friend, but his hate for her has not fully left him. Vinyl lays on the pedestal, her head lying off of it

“Vinyl Scratch! Do you have any last words?” the stallion asks.

“Yeah, I do. Two words: Fuck! You!” Vinyl replies, and with that the executioner raises his axe. Watchman looks away, terrified, and hears a chop, and a thud. He looks back to see his friend’s head on the ground, but something odd is happening. Smoke swirls around it, and Watchman recognises the cleft note cutie mark. He starts to twitch slightly, the executioner holds something up.

It is gabriel, alive! The large stallion throws the filly onto the ground, and Watchman is overcome with rage. He pulls out his pocketknife he keeps with him, hearing Laetitia laughing. He stabs her in the chest, and she gasps, seeing the fire in his eyes. He stabs her again, and hitting her heart, she screams, turning to ash.

Running down the aisles towards the arena, he jumps into the arena, the large stallion swinging his axe at Watchman after seeing him. Watchman slides underneath of the blade and jumps on the stallion’s back. Repeatedly, Watchman stabs the executioner in the neck. The large stallion drops his axe and Watchman jumps off, grabs the axe, and with one swipe, cuts the stallion’s head clean off, and he turns to ash.

Screaming with all his might, Watchman lands next to the collapsed stallion’s ashes, but doesn’t fall unconscious. Watchman struggles to stand, and staggers to Octavia’s lifeless body. He picks up her bowtie and starts to yell again. He then remembers Gabriel, and runs to the filly. She is covered in blood and dying.

He has no choice left, he bites her neck and cuts his foreleg. She drinks his blood. Watchman hopes it is enough to let her live, and slowly she stirs, the cuts slowly seeping away until it is like they were never there. Watchman picks up the filly and he runs.

He runs out of that horrible place he is in. He runs into the woods that surround the compound. He falls… and blacks out.

I'm sorry

“Hey you, wake up.” a male voice says. Watchman feels something poke him, and he stirs

“What happened?” Watchman asks.

“I don’t know. We just found you here and this kid needs some help, too.” the voice says. Watchman looks up at where the voice is coming from, and sees the symbols. They are part of the ponies that trapped him. He jumps back and hisses.

“Wait! You are a-” the voice is cut off by a female voice.

“VAMPIRE!!!” and a mare jumps down from a tree and tries to drop on Watchman with a silver axe held in her magic. Watchman jumps out of the way, she lands and he kicks her into a tree. Then a stallion runs out from a bush, wielding a golden scythe with crosses on both ends. He swipes at watchman, but a katana hits his scythe and blocks him.

“STOP!!!” yells the first stallion, “Valiant! Tremor! Stand down.”

Watchman looks in confusion and realises who the stallion in front of him is.

“Watchman, it has been too long brother” Jax says. Valiant and Tremor look surprised as Jax hugs the vampire.

“They told me you died.” Watchman says.

“I needed you guys to think that so you wouldn’t come looking for me.” Jax replies.

“But I’m a vampire now. Don’t you have to kill me?” Watchman asks.

“We abandoned our jobs a long time ago,” Jax says, “Who’s the kid?”

“Uh… you can thank your group for her. They trapped me and sent this filly in as food. It was downright messed up!” Watchman replies.

“Well, you already met Valiant Swipe and Tremor” Jax says and glares at the two

“Watchman?” Gabriel asks, and Watchman sees that she was on Valiant’s back. He runs over to her and picks her up.

“Yes, Gabriel?” he asks.

“Where is Octavia?” Gabriel asks.

“She had to go away for a while, Gabriel. She told me to tell you to be strong.” Watchman says, choking back tears and he hugs Gabriel.

“When will she be back?” she asks.

“She said a while, but wasn’t specific.” Watchman says.

“Who’s Octavia?” Valiant asks watchman.

“A kind and forgiving mare, who didn’t deserve what happened to her.” Watchman says to Valiant. Watchman then pulls out Octavia’s bowtie, and the oddest thing happens. He changes into a cat. He stares at the object, and begins to cry a little. She knew what she was doing, and she enchanted her bowtie. Whoever wears it is to have her shape-shifting powers. He puts on the bowtie, it looks ridiculous but he doesn’t care.

“I’m sorry, Watchman.” Jax says.

Something odd happens again, a white light appears next to a tree, something flies out of it and sticks into a tree. It looks like a stick with a blade connected to the end. Watchman picks it up and feels rage like never before. He feels power surging through the blade, he felt the pain it took to make it, and etched in the blade said “Kick Some Ass”. Then, with another light, a note and a hammer like weapon appeared through it, and dropped to the forest floor. First, Watchman picks up the paper, and it reads:

Hey Watchman,

You don’t know me, but this hammer I’m sending to you is a gift for Gabriel when she is big enough. In about 5 days, I want to tell you, Octavia isn’t dead. I saved her, but I can’t send her back. You need to continue your story. I am also sending something else to you because I forgot it. See you soon.

-DA

Just then, a leather holster magically appears on Watchman.

“Whoa.” tremor says.

“Where did that come from? I’m a little confused.” Valiant said, turning her head with the shame she felt for being troubled with thought in such a serious time. Watchman doesn’t answer the mare, he puts his weapon in the holster. It is a perfect fit. Suddenly, Gabriel starts to breathe heavily, and grows a few inches.

“What the-?” Valiant says, but then another white light brings another note:

Did I say five days? I meant five minutes. Sorry!

-DA

“Who is doing this?” Watchman asks himself.

“I don’t know, but I’ll help you find out. All of us will.” Vaillant says. She looks around at the other ponies, and they nod in agreement.

“Okay. We are all in.” She nods, a tiny smile forming, “Time for more adventure.”

Suddenly again, Gabriel grows a few more inches, and blood comes out of her nose.

“I don’t feel well.” she says and starts to scream when two canines pop out of her mouth and her eyes turn red.Then,magic starts to envelope her eyes and she jumps at Valiant, but something jumps in front of her. It is a green and red stallion, Gabriel’s teeth in his neck.

He speaks with a robotic voice, “ut obediant.”

Gabriel sits and he pats her head. The stallion turns to Watchman and speaks with a regular voice.

“Hello, I’m here to help!” Two more lights shine from the tree and a purple and red mare and a blue and white stallion appear.

“Us, too.” they say in unison.

“Who or what are you?” Watchman asks.

“We are the fragments. We have been sent by the author to help you.” They say.

“I am Brokenwingz.” the mare says.

“I am Roxas,” the blue and white stallion says.

“And I am Twistedwingz,” says the other stallion.

“Okay. It’s nice to meet you.” Watchman says.

“Thanks for saving my life!” Valiant says from behind the four ponies, huddled in a shivering ball.

“I never thought I’d act like that.” she says as she stands up again.

“What? What happened?” Gabriel asks, now a full grown mare wearing iron armour and her mane cut short. Watchman can’t help but stare.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You’ve seen me like this for years.” Gabriel says, the hammer in her hoof, and she spins it. Twistedwingz starts to shake and his mouth opens, his eyes showing a symbol that Watchman doesn’t recognize.

“Hello? Is this thing on?” a male voice says.

“Um… yeah? Hello?” Watchman asks, and the others just listen.

“Ok good. I am the author and I’m sorry Watchman, but I had to do it to her. I filled her head with memories of you training her. She loves you and she would give her life for you, Watchman. You need to protect her, and I will do my best but-” the voice starts to cut out.

“Hello!?!” Watchman yells, but the voice is gone, and Twistedwingz and the other two have disappeared.

“Can we just get out of here? This place creeps me out.” Tremor says, and everyone nods. They walk out into a clearing until Watchman notices movement. He pulls out his weapon, the others react and do the same. In the middle of the clearing, Vinyl Scratch is crying. Her ear twitches, and she turns and sees Watchman.

She tries to speak between the tears, but is unable. Watchman walks toward her, and he looks angry. He stands directly in front of her, she is begging and pleading for him to kill her. He drops his weapon and hugs her tightly, and she cries on his shoulder.

“I’m sorry.” she manages to say. He shushes her and strokes her mane.

“Everything is going to be ok, alright. We can fix it.” Watchman says soothingly. Vinyl breaks her grip and steps back, wiping tears from her magenta eyes.

“I didn’t want do it, you know,” she tells him in his mind, “I didn’t want to try and kill you.” Watchman just stares at her, then without warning, Vinyl kisses him. Gabriel looks angry, but no one notices.

Dreams of love

Watchman and the others reached the house a few hours later. Gabriel said she was tired and asked where she could sleep.

Vinyl just said, “Where you want.”

Gabriel chose the third largest room in the house, and she collapsed onto the bed and thought about Vinyl and Watchman. She didn’t like the way the mare looked at him. Was she jealous? No! She couldn’t be. She was practically a soldier inside and out. She cut her mane short, she followed orders, but she felt something empty inside herself when Vinyl kissed Watchman.

“She doesn’t deserve him.” she says to the air. Did she have feelings for Watchman? He was like a father to her, but she felt something deeper. That is when she slipped off her armour and moved her hoof down her toned stomach. Just then, the door swings open, and she instantly retracts, grabbing the blanket next to her. She covers herself, and finds Tremor is standing in the doorway.

“Oh, sorry. Wrong room.” he says and shuts the door. Gabriel resumes.

Watchman was talking to Valiant. He honestly did not know what they were talking about, but then he notices something.

“Is your cutiemark two metal-work tools?” he asks.

Valiant stops and thinks for a moment. It had been a while since she had done what her cutie mark had said she was supposed to do. She tries to remember what it meant, “Uh, er, uh... yes. I was... I was a blacksmith pony. I made armor for war ponies.”

Watchman then hears a door open upstairs and rapid hoofsteps, then another door opens and closes.

“Odd,” Watchman says, then turns back to Valiant. She is looking upstairs, absent-minded. Watchman walks upstairs and opens a door. Gabriel is there putting her armour back on, facing away from him, and he blushes, closing the door softly. He walks away from the room, and chooses another room. He opens the door and finds Vinyl is tidying up the room.

“Oh! Hey, sorry. I have, like, O.C.D when it comes to my room.” she says.

“Oh, its ok. I was looking for a room.” Watchman says.

“Oh, well this room sleeps two. If you want… you can sleep with me.” Vinyl says. Watchman thinks about it, but finally says,

“I’ll find my own. I’d keep you up all night with my snoring.”

“Oh… ok.” Vinyl says, looking disappointed. Watchman leaves the room to trip over Gabriel.

“Ahh!” she exclaims, “You scared me!”

Watchman gets to his hooves and helps Gabriel up, “Sorry,” he says.

“No, it’s my fault. I’m sorry.” Gabriel says.

“It’s fine, but we should both be more careful.” Watchman says.

“Ok.” Gabriel says, and walks back to her room.

Watchman watches her leave, she is far from the filly he knew only a few hours ago. He walks to another room this time, it is empty, a bed with silk sheets and very fine wood. He walks over and feels the wood,

“This is really old,” he says softly, laying down on the bed. It feels like a cloud, or at least what he thinks a cloud feels like. He then wakes up hours later, not realizing how tired he was. He notices someone took his holster off and hung it up on a hook. He gets out of bed to see daylight is still shining, but less than before. He walks downstairs.

“Well, look who decided to join the land of the living!” Tremor’s cheerful voice says.

Watchman looks around, “Where’s Vinyl?” he asks.

“Oh, she went to get wood for the fire.” Valiant says

“Oh.” Watchman says and sits at the table filled with food. After his breakfast, he finds a few blood packets and eats them.

“So, why were you looking at me in my room?” Gabriel asks him. Watchman instantly turns bright red,

“Uh… I was looking for my room.” he says, jittery.

“Are you sure it wasn’t something else?” Gabriel asks seductively.

“Uh, uh I… gotta go.” Watchman says and runs to the bathroom, panting.

“What is happening!?!” he says in the mirror.

“What do you think?” a male voice says, startling Watchman. Watchman recognises it and he turns around to see a green stallion

“Surprise!!” the stallion says, and watchman is stunned.

“Oh buddy, you don’t look so good. You need some water?” the author asks, and Watchman faints.

“Well, that was...unexpected.” the author says and picks up the stallion. He walks out of the bathroom and is no longer a stallion, but a human, a short blonde-haired human. He looks uncomfortable holding the stallion.

“Oh! You sooo owe me for this!” the author says as something pokes him in the back.

“YEEP! God dang it!!!” the author says, and puts the stallion down, smacking him when he sets him down.

“Wake up!!!” the author yells. Watchman stirs, but doesn’t wake up.

“Who and what are you?” Gabriel asks the human. The author turns around slowly.

“I’m the author. Nice to meet you. Uh… this is awkward, but could you help me with him?” the author says and nods to Watchman.

“Sure… ” Gabriel says and helps the author carry Watchman. Gabriel keeps staring at “him”.

The author snaps, “Hey! Eyes front soldier!” he says. Gabriel snaps her attention forward. The author smiles at her,

“You are so cute when you're nervous. I guess that’s why I made you like that. Actually, hang on, put him down for a second.” the author Dominic says

My name is Dominic! Use it please!

Gabriel puts down Watchman. Dominic walks over to her and motions for her to sit. She does, and he sits, looking deep in her eyes.

“I’m sorry about your mother. I needed you to have a semi-tortured past.” Dominic says and puts a hand on her head.

“I know it hurts you everyday, but you are strong. I’ll tell you a secret.” Dominic says.

“What?” Gabriel asks.

“He does love you very much. Just let him get used to this form, and he’ll come around.” Dominic says smiling.

“...But he has seen me everyday since I was little.” Gabriel says. Dominic’s smile falls.

“I made that up. I’m sorry that part of your life is a lie, but I wanted you to be able to protect yourself, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry, but I had to.” Dominic says. Tears start to form around his eyes, and he is trying to calm himself down.

“I forgive you.” Gabriel says.

“What?” Dominic asks.

“I forgive you.” Gabriel says again.

Dominic hugs her and kisses her forehead. She is stunned, but then starts to blush.

“I’m sorry, but you are just so cute! I had to at least once!” Dominic says. Gabriel blushes more, and Watchman begins stirring. He looks up to see Dominic and Gabriel looking at each other.

A group discussion

“Ok, everybody is here.” Dominic says and claps his hands together. The other ponies are sitting in Vinyl’s dining room.

“So, we need to go over something. No one here will do, or say, anything that upsets anyone else. You got me?” Dominic says, completely serious. He scans the faces, then sees Gabriel’s and relaxes.

“Ok, as you may know, I am the author. I am the god of this world. I have others, but at the moment, they are overseeing my progress. I have assigned a mission for all of us. We are going back to the organization of the Night Stalkers.” Dominic says, and everyone gasps.

“Now… let’s go kick some ass!!” Dominic says and snaps.

They are no longer in Vinyl’s house, but in front of the building Watchman ran out of only yesterday. Gabriel looks to Dominic, and he looks very angry. He walks up to the door, and instantly a red mare with black hair runs at him. She jumps at him, and he grabs her throat, turning her to ashes. He walks inside, and the others follow him closely. Dominic does this weird shake thing, and a blue light emanates from him for a second. Then, it diminishes more vampires.

He crouches and puts a hand behind his back. When the vampires get closer, he throws his arm forward and a cone of blue fire bursts from his hand. The vampires try to retreat, but the flame engulfs them and they turn to ash. Dominic stands, and the fire is engulfing his arms. He raises up his arms, then throws them back down and the fire evaporates like water. Gabriel looks in awe in what he has done in a matter of seconds. He cracks his knuckles and a bright red light engulfs him. He turns to the group and the light dissipates. His eyes have fire, literal fire, coming out of them.

“This is my true power, I can create.” he says and puts up his hand. A sword is in it.

“And I can destroy.” he continues, and the sword melts in his hands. He turns back and enters a room. It is very dark and damp smelling, and in it, his eyes turn back to normal.

“Vacto!!!” he screams into the dark.

“So you return, Watchman?” a male voice says, and an old stallion walks forward.

“What do you want from me!?!” Watchman screams.

“Watchman, he is just trying to make you mad.” Gabriel says to her love friend.

“Gabriel, save your breath. He isn’t trying to do anything. Let’s go, he doesn’t deserve death.” Dominic says, and they start to leave.

But then Vacto says, “Yes, leave, and take your friend whore with you.”

Dominic stops dead in his tracks, his hands start to catch fire, the fire is blood red,

“What the fuck did you say?” he asks.

“I said take your whore with you.” Vacto replies. Dominic screams and runs at Vacto, grabbing him by the neck.

“HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!” Dominic screams and slams vacto into the wall. Then, out of nowhere, there is an opening of smoke, and a tall, bronze-haired girl has a hand on Dominic’s shoulder. He looks at her and the fire is gone, and his eyes are normal once again. He throws the stallion away from him and his friends. Dominic hugs the young girl.

The girl hugged back, “Dominic, you need to calm down. He's only an old pony, and you’re a very strong young boy. Well,” she stops for a second, “you are a young teen.”

“Sorry, Demetra.”

“It's okay,” she pats his head then pushes him away and holds him by the shoulders, “QUIT BEING SUCH A PUSHOVER!”

“I’M SORRY!” Dominic says and pats Demetra’s hands away.

“You little pushover shitass.” Demetra mumbles under her breath. She grabs a bottle from her pink side bag and takes a swig of it. After she swallows, she wipes her mouth and punches Dominic dead in the face.

“WHY WOULD YOU PUNCH ME!? YOU ARE SO VIOLENT!” Dominic wails.

“You might seem tough with that fire magic and all, but you...are...a...WIMP!” Demetra scolds, “But I love you anyway! Plus, editing and second-hand writing is awesome!” And with that, she picks Dominic by the collar of his T-shirt and straight up kisses him.

“Well, we have two gorgeous love ponies!” Valiant says.

Dominic looks at Demetra, “Hey! Only I can make them say that!” Dominic pouts, then a slit opens in one of the walls and a head peeks out,

“You guys need me?” Collen asks.

“NO!!!” Dominic and Demetra yell in unison. Collen walks out, anyway.

“COLLEN! YOU ARE NOT NEEDED RIGHT NOW!” Demetra yells.

“But Dominic promised I could be in the story.” Collen said blatantly. Demetra looks at Dominic, Dominic looks away. Demetra looks at Collen, Collen looks away.

“Grrrrr! FINE!” Demetra growls.

“YAY!” Collen lifts his arms and yells.

“As long as you don't act like me while you're here.” Demetra finishes.

“Fine.” Collen shrugs.

“Yay! Better!” Demetra says, “Now it's time to… hehe… Ponify.”

With those words, pink flames swirl around Demetra and turn her into a gorgeous pink pony with chocolate and blood red mane and tail.

“Cute,” Dominic says, “Oh, who am I kidding! You are… HOT!”

“Oh,” Demetra blushed and giggled shakily, “thanks, then, sweety.”

“Oh. You two are a thing?” Tremor asks.

“Well, OBVIOUSLY, you stupid douche!” Valiant responds bitterly.

“That’s mean!” Tremor yells, getting angry.

“Hey, Dominic?” Demetra whispers to Dominic.

“Yes?” he whispered back.

“I’m gonna ship Tremor and Valiant, is that ok?” she asks.

Dominic thinks about it for a second, “that’s fine!” Dominic says in a weird voice Collen gives him a look.

“What!?!” Dominic says dramatically.

“Nothing, I just…” Collen trails off. Dominic sits beside Gabriel, Demetra sits next to him, and something flies at Demetra.

“Look out!!!” Dominic yells and pushes Demetra out of the way, and Dominic falls to the floor, screaming, scorch marks on his skin and clothes. A fireball had hit him.

“Well, well, here again I see?” a male voice says, then another human walks out from a wall. A short, brown haired kid is standing there.

“LOGAN!!!!” Collen yells and runs at him, and Logan just punches him in the face and he falls to the ground. Demetra runs to Dominic’s side,

“Are you ok?” she asks.

“No. My form is dying. I need to get more power, I’ll be back after a nap.” Dominic says and closes his eyes. Gabriel runs to where Dominic was and she drops, looking confused,

“What happened?” she asks, panicked. Logan smacks Demetra in the head from behind, and Dominic’s eyes rip open. He grabs Logan by the throat.

“You can’t kill me, stupid! I’M THE AUTHOR!!!!!!” Dominic yells and snaps Logan’s neck, but Logan’s body starts to shake and then turns into a broom.

“What?” Dominic says, confused and looks around.

“IT’S A TRAP!!!!” he screams and snaps. They are teleported back to Vinyl’s house.

A good sleep...NOT

“Why was he there,? Why was he there?” Dominic says while already pacing in the living room.

“I don’t know, but he shouldn’t have been able to get in without your notebook” Demetra says.

“Maybe he found one somewhere?” Valiant suggests.

“No, I keep them locked up in my stories only I have access.” Dominic answers, and stops pacing for a moment.

“What is it?” Demetra asks.

“I lost one in a-” Dominic starts.

“Maybe someone’s a traitor.” Collen proposes, interrupting Dominic.

“That could be.” Vinyl agrees.

“True, but who? Isn’t it just us three with the notebooks” Demetra said anxiously.

“No I keep many of them hidden around, some with characters I trust with my own life.” Dominic answers, uneasy.

“That means-” Collen starts.

“That one of my characters must have given it to him after he-” Dominic doesn’t finish, but opens a small book and flips through the pages. Very scared, he stops on one page.

“Where is he!?! No! Where is he!?!” Dominic screams and rapidly flips pages, until he sees the looks everyone has.

“This book tells me when a character is going to die or is dead, but it never just deletes them. Librarian is gone.” Dominic says grim

“What!?!” Collen yells.

“Who?” Demetra asks.

“Someone important.” Dominic says, then notices something. It looks metal and has a red eye.

“A beetle blade? I didn’t make that.” he says and walks over to it, but it disappears.

“Something is watching us.” Demetra says.

Dominic opens his hand, a blue fireball is encased in his palm. He turns sharp and extends his hand, a cone of blue fire escapes and the door that was there is disintegrated. Behind it is a gray version of the librarian, and she jumps at him, tackling him.

“Where is my family!?!” she yells. Dominic looks like he is on the verge of tears.

“THEY’RE DEAD!!!!!!! I KILLED THEM TO MAKE YOU!!!!!!!!” Dominic screams, “AND I CAN’T SEE YOU IN PAIN ANYMORE!!!” And with those words, Dominic stabs the Librarian in the stomach. The Librarian’s eyes are open with surprise, and Dominic leans to her ear and whispers,

“I’m sorry and I forgive you.” Librarian’s hue waivers and changes to normal. She has a tear in her eye and she says,

“Thank you,” then Dominic touches the mare’s chest and she collapses dead. Dominic starts to cry and looks to Demetra.

“We need to have a ceremony.” he says through flowing tears.

Demetra only nods, a few tears forming. She knew how connected Dominic was to his ponies. Of course she knew, she was the editor.

“This is what she would’ve wanted.” Collen adds, “ I will fight through hell if I have to, just as long as I get revenge for her.”

“We will get revenge, I tell you that!” Dominic says and picks up the mare’s lifeless body.

“Why didn’t she turn to ink? Sorry, just curious.” Collen asks.

“I can enable and disable them turning into ink. I thought it would come in handy. I just never thought I would have to use it.” Dominic says and starts to cry again, “DAMN YOU LOGAN!!!!” Dominic yells at the ceiling. He walks to the door into the woods behind the house. Demetra and Collen follow, unponifying.

“Why are we going out here?” Collen asks.

“She doesn’t belong here, so I’m taking her where she does.” Dominic says and pulls out a key. He stabs the air, and turns his head to his friends,

“You can’t follow me. You belong here. I’ll be back,” Dominic says and opens a hole in the air, then disappears. Collen looks at Demetra and shrugs. They walk back to the house and reponify.

When they get back, Vinyl asks Collen,

“So, you got anyone special in your life?”

Collen gives a look and says, “Yeah, she’s a beautiful blonde.”

Vinyl looks disappointed, “That's too bad. I would have loved to suck you dry, then bite you.” she says playfully and giggles. She goes to the bathroom to take a shower, but she winks at Collen before she closes the door. Dominic walks in panting, and sits at the table.

“That was a very hard thing to do,” Dominic says. Some Chords by DeadMau5 plays in the background

“I’ll bet it was. Where'd you go?” Demetra asks.

“I went to dark days of time and buried her.” Dominic says, “Twilight asked what I was doing. I explained to her that she couldn’t tell anyone and she didn’t.”

“Oh. Okay.” Demetra nods. Dominic looks uneasy.

“My Brony, what's wrong?

“I don’t know what to do with this,” Dominic says and holds Librarian’s sonic screwdriver, “It’s funny, you know? I thought I didn’t want her to have this, but I finally decided to let her have it. Then this happens. I don’t know what to do, Demetra.” Dominic says and slumps on the table.

“Well, maybe you should just keep it… On your shelf! Hehe!” Demetra attempts to lighten the depressing mood, a mood she isn't the easiest to be in. Vinyl walks back into the room with a towel around her waist. She looks at Collen with a seductive look and flicks her tail in his direction when she walks to her room.

”Was...was she hitting on you?” Dominic asks

Collen gives him an angry look then says, “Yeah and it was weird. You’re the Author, NOW FIX IT!”

“I’ll fix it,” Demetra says and takes out a glowing notebook with her horn magic, “She’ll say this, then this, and then she’ll do that. Hmm, hmm, hmm.” Demetra finishes and Vinyl comes back out.

“Sorry about that Collen. I-I don’t know what got into me. I’m sorry.” she looks down at the floor, a little upset, and her bottom lip quivered a little.

“It’s okay, Vinyl.” Collen says to cheer her up.

“Really? Are you sure?” she asks, looking up.

“Yes.” Collen assures.

Dominic gets an idea, and holds up a fiery red notebook. He opens it and writes in it, and then something happens. A small star floats out of the notebook and Dominic takes a deep breath. He touches the star and instantly starts to scream, but he grips the star hard and starts to speak a language nobody can identify.

“Et animam meam pono, bibliothecarii!” Dominic says and, opens his hand, the star is gone, but a burn is in Dominic’s hand. Then the strangest thing happens, a reddish mare with a bun hairdo walks in the room.

“Hello? I-I have a question...who am I?” the mare says.

“LIBRARIAN, IT WORKED!!!!!!” Dominic yells and jumps to hugs the mare.

“Is that my name? Another question, am I a woman?” Librarian asks.

“Oh, it doesn’t matter. You’re you and that is what I care about.” Dominic says, and hugs the mare a little tighter. then puts her down.

“Dominic? Where have you been? You look taller.” Librarian says.

“Hahaha! Ok, Librarian, let’s take you to your room.” Dominic says and motions for Librarian to follow. She, or he, does follow him.

Collen and Demetra look at each other confused, surprised, and scared.

“She died. You can’t bring things back to life. A reincarnated corpse without a sacrifice is a demon’s playground.” Demetra says to Collen, concern and truth heavy in her voice.

“I know. I think we should tell him.” Collen replies.

“I know. I’ll tell him before bed.” Demetra says.

“Tell who what?” Dominic asks when he walks back in the room.

“Just… nothing. I’ll tell you later.” Demetra says.

Dominic then walks down the hall to a random room, and finds it is empty. He sits on the bed. Dominic just sits for a while, not really knowing what to do, he’s having writers block.

“Troubled thoughts?” Demetra asks, startling Dominic. Dominic falls off the bed to the floor.

“Hehe. Get up my Brony. You’ll get cold on the floor like that.” Demetra says and unponifies to help Dominic up. As Dominic unponifies to help make it easier for him to get up, the toe of his shoe snags on his heel, and he falls into Demetra. When Dominic opens his eyes, he sees Demetra balancing herself over top of him on the bed with a shocked, weirdly scared face, and a blush burning her cheeks.

“What?” Dominic asks.

“N-noth-thing… “ Demetra stutters, looks away, and stands up, getting off of Dominic.

Dominic follows her with his eyes, confused, but tries to think of something to talk about. Then he remembers,

“Demetra, you said you were going to talk to me about something?” Dominic says.

“I-I was, b-but… I don’t… I think it’s a little too awkward to talk about right n-now.” Demetra stutters with stressful breaths, sounding shaky with fear.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Dominic asks, getting up to comfort her.

“N-nothing! Nothing’s wrong! I just… I just have to think about something and calm down! I-I’m fine, okay!” Demetra says loudly, slapping Dominic’s hand away when he touched her, and never looking at him. She took a deep breath and slammed the door closed on her way out of the room. She walked off, more like ran, to another room a few doors down the hall. She peeked inside, her heart thumping, and went in when she saw the room was empty. Demetra curled up into a shaking bundle in the closet, and wept silently into her arms.

Dominic was confused. What had caused her to act like that? What was she so scared of? He couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Was it that position they had been in? He decides to talk to someone, to get his mind from exploding from confusion. He opens his door and walks down the hall to Gabriel’s room. He knocks on the door,

“Yes?” Gabriel asks from inside the room.

“It’s Dominic. Can I come in?” Dominic asks.

“Yeah, sure. Come in.” Gabriel replies, and Dominic opens the door. The mare is sitting on her bed reading a book,

“What do you need?” Gabriel asks kindly. Dominic shifts on his feet for a second, then asks,

“Can I sit down?”

“Sure.” Gabriel replies and Dominic sits down on the bed. It feels softer than his.

“How much do you remember about your mother and father?” Dominic asks. At this, Gabriel almost drops her book.

“W-Why do you ask?” she asks.

“Well, I mean, if you want to know anything about them, you know I could always tell you.” Dominic says to Gabriel, and she just nods, but makes the face saying, ‘not right now, please.’ Dominic nods, understanding.

“Why did you come to me for? The real reason.” Gabriel asks.

“It’s something about Demetra,” Dominic says worriedly, “She was going to tell me something, but I think I did something to frighten her. What do you think it could have all meant?”

“Well, I wouldn’t really know, but Demetra and Collen were talking about something after you took Librarian to her room. They looked really serious, concerned, and pretty scared.”

“Oh. I know what happened. They must have thought I resurrected the Librarian ” Dominic says.

“Wait… you did WHAT!?!?” Gabriel yells

“ I didn’t resurrect her, though. That would involve messing with demons. No, I forgot the female Librarian came in during A Surprise Visit. That is the one who died. The one I brought back is from Dark Days of Time. That one didn’t die. I brought her back for a refresher. I forgot to tell them that.” Dominic says, semi-monotone and planned.

“Maybe you should go tell them that, and see what Demetra’s up to. After scaring a girl, there can be big problems, trust me.”

“I know. I remember when you and Swordmaker were together. She was nice until she had to quit her job.” Dominic says.

“She had a nice butt, though.” Gabriel says. Dominic and Gabriel laugh.

“Or, remember Scholar?” Gabriel asks.

“Oh my gosh, yes! He was more a girl than you were!” Dominic says and suddenly, he hugs Gabriel. She looks surprised, but she hugs him back, anyway. He lets go and tells her to get some sleep, then he walks back to his room and stares at the ceiling until morning.

I don't care how you see my life

Dominic sits up in his bed. He stands and goes downstairs. No one is there.

“That’s odd,” he says to himself. He goes back up and realizes Demetra’s door to her room is broken off it’s hinges. The others are in the room already, Demetra is gone. Vinyl looks up and sees him, and she rushes over.

“We can’t find her anywhere.” she tells him. Dominic pushes past her and the T.V. crackles to life.

“Hello Dominic. Having fun?” Logan says on the T.V.

“It is such a shame. Are you looking for Demetra? That is so funny because she is right here.” Logan says and a camera shows Demetra in a cell.

“I’ll kill you, you son of a bitch!” Dominic screams at the T.V.

“You want her? Come get her! Hahahahahahaha-” Logan is cut off, Dominic had punched the T.V. screen and broke it.

“Are you okay-” Vinyl starts, but Dominic walks out of the room and writes in his fiery red notebook. A sawed off double barrel shotgun appears on his back, a vas-36 bayonet appears in his belt, and two hand axes appear on his back as well.

“I’m gonna fuck you up Logan.” Dominic says and walks out the old oak doors of Vinyl’s house. Collen is close behind with a trident, a glock 18, a flamethrower, and a minigun.

“He’ll come for me and you know it!” Demetra screams as Logan laughs at the camera.

“Well, that’s what I want. He’s so stupid.” Logan says after he finishes laughing.

“He’ll kill you, you fucking asshole!” Demetra screams and Logan walks in the cell and slaps her hard in the face.

“I can kill you at any moment! So watch your fucking mouth!” Logan threatens. He then starts walking closer to her slowly with a horrific smirk on his face, and caresses her cheek in his hand.

“You are such a pretty face.” He says, pressing her against the wall.

“Your fly’s open.” Demetra says blatantly.

“That’s kinda the point, sweet cheeks.” Logan says, and harshly presses his lips to hers. Demetra reacts instantly and knees him in the dick, then brings her knee up to his face and slams her elbow down onto the back of his head, breaking his nose and knocking him out.

“Get your own bitch.” She says, zipping up her pants. Lucky for Demetra, Logan had left the cell door open, and brought in her chain key in his pocket. She grabbed the key out of his back pocket and unchains herself from the wall. She sprints out of the cell, heading for the exit, but before she can reach it, a painful blast of… something… hits her in the stomach, like a harsh punch to the gut. Demetra is thrown back into an open cabinet door, and busts her head on the metal edge. She groans in pain, her vision blurring, and sees Logan moving from his position in the cell.

‘I should have locked it.’ She thinks as Logan walks toward her, stumbling a few times.

“Oh, sweet cheeks. That wasn’t very nice of you.” He says and grabs her by front of her shirt. Demetra, numb and losing consciousness, only hangs limply in his grasp.

“You're going back to bed… With me.” Logan says, and curls his fingers down her waistline. Demetra only groans, knowing what what her fate is, but she tries to fight back. She slowly lifts her hand up, curls into a fist, and tries to swing, but Logan only releases her from his grip, and she falls to the ground limply.

“Oomph.” Demetra lands on the cold concrete floor, and hits her head against it, finally blacking out for Logan to do whatever he wanted with her.

Collen crouches behind a bush,

“Ok, we should walk to the left and-” Collen says. Dominic only walks past him and shoots two guards in the face with his double barrel.

“-or we could go in, guns blazing.” Collen says and pulls out his minigun. He fires at the rest of guards. A mare flies at Dominic, but he grabs her just before she hits him.

“Why are you here?” Dominic asked. The mare stops thrashing in his grasp, surprised by his question.

“Logan has my daughter. He will kill her if I fail.” the mare says. Dominic puts the mare to the ground.

“I can’t leave a child without her mother. Go, I will bring back your child.” Dominic tells the mare. She looks at him with hope, and runs into the woods.

Demetra wakes up to find herself in a queen bed with red sheets in a large dark room. She rubs her eyes, and sees that her pants are hanging on the doorknob and her bra strewn across the room. She suddenly heard the doorknob move, and she quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself.

“Demetra?” Collen asks politely.

“Y-yes? Collen, is that you? Is Dominic with you?” Demetra asks.

“Yeah.” Collen answers.

“Dominic’s going to be so pissed off when he sees this…” Demetra says, a tear beginning to form and she realizing she… had just been raped.

“When I see wha-” Dominic says as he walks in, cutting off his words when he sees Demetra crying with sheets covering her chest.

“What did that Motherfucker do to you!?” Dominic screams.

Demetra lifts her head slowly, “He… he hurt me. And he raped me in my sleep.” she wails.

“THAT SON OF A FUCKING BITCH!” Dominic screams.

“Dominic… please, calm down.” Demetra reaches for a black T-shirt on the end of the bed.

“I’LL FUCKING KILL HIM I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!!!” Dominic screams and flips a table and smashes a mirror.

“WHERE ARE YOU, YOU FUCKING COWARD!?!? SHOW YOURSELF YOU BITCH!!!!!!” Dominic continues to scream. Collen stares in horror of his friend, he had never seen him this angry, ever.

“Dude, calm down.” Collen says, trying to calm down Dominic, but it was too late. His blood was boiling and the flames started to erupt. Then, a shift in the flames turn it to something else entirely, black electricity. Dominic screams and then disappears out the door. Dominic was clouded by rage, he was pissed, and he wanted one thing: Logan dead.

He found him walking down the hall. Dominic tackles him to the ground, the teenager not knowing what hit him. Dominic feels hands and hooves on him, pulling him off. He is thrown from Logan, and behind him is all his friends.

Demetra walks up to him, “It isn’t worth it. Come on, let’s-” Demetra is cut off by a gunshot. Blood comes out of her mouth, she drops to the floor, a bullet wound in the middle of her chest. Dominic drops and puts his hand on her wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

“D-Dominic?” Demetra coughs.

“Yes?” Dominic says, tears forming in his eyes.

“I love you, and I’ll see you… On the other… Side.” Demetra says, and reaches up to kiss Dominic, a single tear slides down her cheek, but she dies before she can get close enough.

Tears streaming from his eyes, Dominic screams, “No… NO! NO! Come back! Wake up! You're okay!I can save you! Don't leave me here! I love you!” Dominic drops his head on her chest and cries for a moment.

Then Dominic looks at the blood on his hands. He cries, but anger rips him apart, breaks him, he snaps. He starts to twitch, then he starts to laugh, tears pouring down the sides of his face. He stands up, and turns slowly to face Logan. Logan looks shocked and somewhat satisfied. He had meant to hit Dominic, but failed, hitting Demetra instead.

“You didn’t have enough, did you!? You had to push me that little Fucking bit!” Dominic says, and starts to walk towards Logan. Collen stands in front of him, trying to show reason. Then another gunshot, and Collen is on the ground, bleeding but not dead.

Dominic moves in slow motion, taking out his hand axes. He throws one at Logan’s leg. It hits its mark, and Logan collapses on the ground. Dominic, now standing on top of him, rips the hand axe out of his leg. Logan screams in pain, but Dominic pulls out his double barrel and aims at Logan’s dick. He fires, and Logan screams again. Dominic raises his other hand axe he grabs Logan’s hand and chops four fingers off Logan screams in pain and tries to pull his hand out of Dominic’s grasp but Dominic is strong with insanity he brings the hand axe down on logan’s hand and pins it he does the same to the other hand the ponies watch in horror as Dominic brings his vas-36 bayonet above his head Logan’s eyes wide with terror Dominic brings the blade down with speed and strength unimaginable straight into logan’s chest Logan tries to scream but chokes blood filling his mouth Dominic raises the knife once more Logan chokes out one word

“Mercy” Dominic's face softens then changes back

“I bet that’s what she said” Dominic says and slams the knife through logan’s throat and the floor logan dies in a pool of his own blood Logan’s and Demetra’s blood is on Dominic’s face. He walks back to Demetra’s body and picks her up. He walks down the halls until he reaches the cages, full of millions of children and loved ones of ponies he didn’t know. He opens the cages, and walks out the doors of the compound.

Holding the girl he had loved, he pulls out a key and throws it, and a portal opens. He sets Demetra down and turns to the group who followed him out, and he looks to Watchman.

“So, do you want to stay a vampire or not?” he asks him.

“The world needs my help. I choose to stay.” Watchman replies

“Ok. Then Collen… come on.” Dominic says, and Collen follows. Dominic picks up Demetra, and they walk through the portal and back home.

thank you's

This is a thank you from the author, Dominic Archer, for reading this story, or book. Whatever you want to call it. I want to especially thank my friends Collen, my judge, and Demetra, my editor. Love you guys, and a thanks to my mother and grandmother for recommendations, and my friend, Logan, for being a good sport and a punching bag. I would like to say I would have never finished this without the help of my friends.Goodbye reader

I loved editing the story, even though I may have missed a few things. Most of the stuff that made you cry, angry and scream, or any other stuff, that was probably me. I thank you guys for reading this. I worked hard, fighting my way through screaming because Dominic is an ass and just writes in a huge paragraph. Anyway, I worked hard, Collen worked hard, Dominic worked hard. We all worked hard, and I hope you guys liked the story. BYE BYE MY SEXY GUMMY BEARS!

~Demetra’s thanks

I really appreciate being a main key in the story. I also was greatest at the judging because I knew what to say., and knew what not to say. Got to go… PIZZA’S HERE!

~Collen’s Thanks

Rest in peace all the ponies who died. Especially Octavia, scripture, Librarian and Demetra.

~All three of us ? The End!
