A new type of vampire

“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.
