Twilight sank into her bed after her shower as Vinyl took hers as she reflected upon what Luna told her. The lunar woman had taught her how to hide her fangs, thus tapping into her black magic. She had also explained that Vampires did not need blood to live, yet without it they’d be too weak to even move. She explained the healing properties of her saliva and how her skin and bone were exponentially stronger.

There were also a series of physical enhancements the Vampirism brought. She was much faster, much stronger, naturally healed faster and all of this showed on the physique. She also told her about the optional things, like the special wings. Twilight had asked about the school uniform, since their school didn’t officially have one yet, and Luna had told her it wasn’t too practical, but if she ever wanted something nice to wear it’d work perfectly.

“So what were those weird clothes that black magic stuff gave you?” Vinyl asked, drying her hair as she walked into the room in her pajamas.

“I asked Luna about that, She said that a true vampire is classy and that it’d most likely change as i grow stronger.” Twilight said. When vinyl gave her a confused look she deadpanned. “I don’t know what she meant either...” She admitted.

“By the way, if you ever need to drink and you can’t help it you can always come find me. I’m your girlfriend, a bite isn’t much more than a nip on the neck now is it?” Vinyl said with a grin.

“Thanks, but I never quite liked the taste of blood so I won’t unless I have to.” Twilight giggled, snuggling up to the girl as she joined the vampire girl in the bed.

“Oh man that’s rich, a vampire that doesn’t like the taste of blood.” Vinyl said lowly.

“You know, I read somewhere that vampires are great lovers.” Twilight said even lower, almost in a purr.

“There’s all kinds of legends about the creatures of the night. Let’s see if any of them concerning romanticism is true.” Vinyl growled with a big grin plastered on her face.

“I’m liking this night more and more.” Twilight giggled.
--- *no lemons for you!*
The next morning, Spike awoke to find Twilight and Vinyl were oversleeping. When he entered Twilight’s room he wasn’t surprised to find them both sleeping there, but he was certainly surprised to see clothes strewn about the room. Luckily the blankets were covering them or he would have bolted, but he noticed something about Twilight as she slept. She looked much more toned and muscular than before, and she had fangs. He rapped on the door a few times to wake them up.

“Hey lovebirds, if you sleep too long you’ll be late to school.” Spike said, choosing to ignore the the latter for now. Vinyl groaned, but Twilight’s eyes snapped open as she made sure the blankets were covering them.

“Looks like you two had a fun night.” Spike said, rolling his eyes.

“Jealous much?” Vinyl said tiredly.

“Not really, your girlfriend is kind of my sister and I’m not into that stuff.” Spike answered with a straight face.

“Nah, you jelly bro.” Vinyl retorted childishly, causing Twilight to burst out laughing as she magicked over clothes for them.

“Well if you’re not into that stuff I imagine you wouldn’t want to watch your sister change.” Twilight said, sending him a glance.

“Got it, I’ll start breakfast.” Spike said.

“Remind me to lock the door and set an alarm next time, we need showers but I don’t want to be late again.” Twilight said as she stood up and used a cleansing spell on the two of them. Vinyl couldn’t help but shiver as the magic made her body tingle all over.

“Sure, but getting clean that way just feels so...” Vinyl started but never finished.

“Well, that’s because the spell was to clean the certain smells and grime that sex usually creates, naturally the tingling of the magic feels pretty good when it goes over... certain places.” Twilight explained, ending in a light purr.

“If you keep talking like that we’ll have to go again girl.” Vinyl said in all seriousness, earning a giggle from Twilight as she threw her shirt to her.

“Hey Twi, I didn’t say anything before... But what’s up with your eyes? You’ve also got fangs and you’re wearing more black than usual...” Spike said on the way to school.

“Oh shit!” Twilight hissed. Spike watched in awe as the fangs shortened to an acceptable human size.

“Alright, what the hell? I didn’t sense the use of any magic I’ve ever seen...” Spike said.

“Um... I’ll explain when we get home after school, alright? But long story short I’m a Vampire and Vinyl is a Lycanthrope. Before you start laughing or thinking we’re joking, we’re not. Think on it and what questions you want to ask today.” Twilight said hurriedly and quickly dragged Vinyl to their first class.

“So basically, you two are mythical creatures that aren’t supposed to exist, yet are pretty much the night guard?” Spike summed up crudely later that day.

“In a nutshell, yes. I actually wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Night Guards were vampires and Lycans themselves actually. They do have those bat-like wings that Dash showed me today.” Twilight pondered.

“Hey, it’s getting dark out. We’re going to be late for our late night MMA meeting.” Vinyl said, pointing to the clock which read 9:07.

“Damn we were talking for hours...” Twilight sighed.

“We had a lot to talk about... You’re not gonna like, try to eat me are you?” Spike asked, meaning it more towards Vinyl than Twilight.

“I’d never hurt you.” Twilight said.

“And contrary to what you may think, there are some vegetarian Lycans and even a vegan or two. Besides, i wouldn’t eat my little step-brother now would I?” Vinyl asked.

“That makes it sound like you two are married or something.” Spike said, putting a hand on the bridge of his nose.

“We’re not that far yet. Though maybe engagement would work.” Twilight giggled.

“Don’t want to hear any of this right now, I’ve already got enough shit to think about...” Spike said.

“Right, see you tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on if you’re awake.” Twilight said as she grabbed her hoodie and pulled it on.

“Sure.” Spike said with a wave.

“Think he’ll be fine?” Vinyl asked as they walked.

“Yeah, he’s a strong kid. I wonder what this meeting’s about.” Twilight said.

“What is this?” Vinyl asked when they entered the MMA room to find most of the people waiting weren’t even in the roster. Apparently Vinyl recognized all of them.

“We know you were there with the Vampire when they were initiated.” Shining Armor said, appearing from the circle.

“...If the Elders are going to question me about that, why bring Twilight?” Vinyl asked.

“Because it’s time she learned what her girlfriend and her brother is.” Shining sighed.

“I already know what Vinyl is, I didn’t know you were one though...” Twilight said.

“Good, that means we don’t have to worry about you freaking out!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Anything you could possibly want to know I can’t tell you.” Vinyl said.

“Oh? Why is that?” An older man, one Twilight recognized as a history teacher, asked.

“They made me wait outside while the vampire was initiated.” Vinyl said.

“Hm... I hear they don’t even let their own kind that aren’t part of it in... Very well. What can you tell us about the treaty and what it still means to them?” Shining said.

“They still abide to it, it’s independants and rogues that violate it.” Twilight answered.

“How would you know that?” Shining asked.

“Why else would they let me come with them unless I was close to the one being initiated?” Vinyl said rhetorically as Twilight showed her fangs. Everyone in the room tensed and Shining gaped at her.

“Don’t you dare start anything with me. You just told me you’re a Lycan and I didn’t gape at you now did I?” Twilight said to him.

“Does-”

“Spike knows, we just told him.” Twilight finished his sentence.

“I imagine you wouldn’t rat out on your pack then... If they still treat the treaty with utmost respect then we shall do the same, but what is your job in your pack girl?” One of the others asked.

“Just like most of the other Vampires, her job is the same as ours. Keep the city safe at night, our domain.” Vinyl answered for her.

“Is this true?” Shining asked Twilight. She nodded. “Hm... I’d love to have a talk with the head of your clan sometime soon... For now, Vinyl, you first patrol was scheduled to be today.” Shining said.

“I was going to take Twilight along with me.” Vinyl said.

“Go ahead. Just remember the rules.” Shining said.

“Yeah, yeah, don’t reveal our true forms unless we have to or we’re facing another creature of the night.” Vinyl said.

“Twilight, if you were just initiated yesterday then you probably have minimal Vampiric powers... But what little you have the same goes for you.” Shining said with a light smile.

“Uh, sure thing.” Twilight said.

“Why are we going to your nightclub?” Twilight asked.

“Because I need to get paid for my last gig, get the next one set up and I’ve got intel on some rogues who hang out here.” Vinyl said.

“Would I know any of them?” Twilight asked.

“Maybe, if you weren’t so soft some of them might be behind bars. When your brother interrogated them he found out that they were Lycan accidentally. He would have normally executed them on the spot, because they are very dangerous, but he was being watched by other guards.” Vinyl answered, putting emphasis on the very.

“We took care of them pretty well though.” Twilight said as the night owl came into view.

“They knew I was a Lycan and part of the pack, they didn’t want to reveal what they were to us so they laid low when they attacked.” Vinyl said. Any further questioning was cut off as they entered the club. Surprisingly, there were only a few people in the building. It was, after all, a tuesday. They froze, however, when they saw that everyone in the room was wearing Griffon jackets and they were currently pointing guns at the bartender, who had a combat shotgun and was pointing to a sign that made it very clear there were dozens of wards around him. There were a few corpses with bite marks on them and a few with bullet wounds strewn about.

“What the hell happened here Frank?” Vinyl called. He had already noticed their entrance and was prepared for the distraction and when the griffons turned to look at her he put three shells into the group before they managed to recover. Four were dead, two wounded and the remaining three were fine. They pulled their weapons on him, but he had already ducked under the counter to reload.

Vinyl dashed forward, apparently she had changed during the firing as she was in her Lycan form, and caught one of the uninjured ones by the head with her jaws and crushed his skull.
“Twi! Focus your power and do what you can!” Vinyl yelled, tossing a revolver at her as the remaining griffons transformed as well, but were bowled over by Frank. Apparently he too was a Lycan.

“Focus on your Black Magic, sister. Let it flow and instinct will guide you darling.” A familiar voice said from the bodies of the dead. Rarity, in a ruined white dress, slowly got to her feet as bullet holes in her stomach stopped bleeding and blood that wasn’t hers dripped from her mouth.

“Don’t hurt Vinyl or the Bartender, they’re on our side.” Twilight said as her fangs extended and she checked the cylinder of the gun she caught.

“Right, toss me that will you?” Rarity said, pulling her hair back and using a black tendril to keep it there, holding out a single hand. Twilight tossed it and when the girl caught it she disappeared.

“Four rounds in the chamber.” Twilight warned and then started focusing her power.

“That bloodsucker over there is showing off a bit isn’t she?” One of the Lycans grunted, pointing to twilight, a few minutes later as the battle went on. Rarity had emptied the revolver on one of the injured and VInyl had finished the other, leaving the battle three on two.

“My, my. She’s got quite the potential, I recommend we back away now.” rarity said, putting her arms out in front of Frank and VInyl and began backing away.

Twilight’s eyes opened as she let pure instinct drive her actions. Her eyes were glowing a deep crimson that unsettled even Vinyl, but the Griffons just laughed and turned towards her.

“Your flashy magic won’t scare u-” one of them started and proceeded to explode. Everyone watched, the Griffon in horror and the others in awe, as Twilight’s black tendrils of black magic surrounded her for a moment before the swirling tempest of black flew forward and went straight through the remaining Griffon.

“Whoa...” They all muttered as Twilight materialized from the tempest. She looked almost like she did directly after her initiation, but her changed clothes were different. Her nails were now officially claws now, and even her ears had a point to them. Instead of the dark street clothes Vinyl saw before, Twilight sported an elegant black dress. The part that covered the legs looked as if it were like leather and velvet put together, and looked as if it was made for nightclub dancing, as there was a long slit that reached halfway up her thighs to allow easy leg movements.

Her shoulders, stomach and top portion of her chest were showing as the dress seemed to have intentionally placed tears and large holes. Her hair had gained a lot of length as well and was jet black, it fanned out behind her almost like a tail. Her clawed hands were bloody and she found herself tentatively licking them clean.

“Well darling, it appears you’re even stronger than Black Heart.” Rarity said.

“Really? Even though I feel like I could face anything, I doubt that. He is our Father after all.” Twilight said, her voice strangely yet sweetly warped.

“He’s not our strongest member, he’s just the best leader.” Rarity shrugged.

“I thought you didn’t liek the taste of blood.” Vinyl said, crossing her arms, as she watched Twilight attempt to lick her hands clean.

“Might as well try to get used to it, but this is bitter and sour. I bet yours would be much sweeter.” Twilight giggled. The voice, as before, was laced with power and it sent chills down her spine. All of that power was currently trained on the affections the girl felt for Vinyl, and everyone in the room could feel it.

“Slow down there darling, I said rely on your instinct but not that much. You’re not an animal.” Rarity giggled.

“Perhaps... How do I disperse this new power? I’ve never handled so much at a time...” Twilight asked.

“Just as you let the vast ocean of Black Magic flow into you, let it flow away.” Rarity said. Twilight somehow made sense of the words and felt the power thinning on the inside. On the outside, the group watched with interest as the changes the advanced form wrought were undone and soon the normal Twilight was standing there.

“Is there a name for that?” Twilight asked, her voice normal.

“It’s called the form of the Dark Lord, though most vampires in our clan can’t even activate it with their current amounts of power. I’ve only managed it once when my life was in danger, and that was only for a little while. You just followed your instincts and managed it the night after your initiation. Only Black Heart, his blood sister, the princesses and a few others can manage it at all.” Rarity said.

“So I probably shouldn’t go using it for every little thing. I’ll try to figure more out so I won’t have to resort to it, I feel exhausted now.” Twilight said.

“Well it does exacerbate the thirst and the effects of withdrawal. I recommend feeding soon, or your strength won’t return.” Rarity said.

“So that’s why you were licking your hands clean.” Vinyl said.

“Guess so. I don’t feel like doing that tonight though, I just want to sleep. Shower first, then sleep.” Twilight said.

“Go on ahead Vinyl. Miss Rarity and I will take care of the mess and I’ll put a bonus in your paycheck for the help.” Frank said.

“I’m an old friend.” Rarity said when she received glances.

“I’m guessing a lot of the clan that are in the school are much older than they look.” Twilight said. Rarity didn’t bother answering as she turned around and things started floating around in teal flashes of magic.

“Come on ‘Dark Lord’, let’s get you home.” Vinyl joked. Twilight was too tired to to retort.

(A/N does a 7 1/2 page chapter make up for a 2 1/2 page one? I hope so. I hope it doesn't seem rushed, even though it felt that way... I stopped halfway in between so that may have been it... As for the dress look in the comment section on how i think it'd look.)
