Yeah this is by the same artists, We Came As Romans is an Underrated Metal Band to me, they are really good, I recommend trying them out.

"When did this come back Flutters?"

Fluttershy...sobbing as she hid behind her mane, "Before, you and the rest came to get me...a Vampony was already in my home, he bit me and my...condition came back...but somehow I was able to control it...but I d-do...have a thirst."

"Whose blood is this?"

"Animals...any I could pick up...it..I-I-I--" Fluttershy broke down, sobbing.

The Blue Pegasus hugged her friend tightly.

"So you're the reason why there had been a couple dead animals...and we thought there was a Vampony actually here."

"T-There is...me...I'm sorry that I scared you and the others...b-but I was afraid that you'd...you'd--"

The Blue Pony nuzzled her, "Fluttershy, Me and the others would do no such things, the Princesses wouldn't either."

"R-Really...Dashie?" Fluttershy says, her blood eyes looking straight at her.

"Of course, Flutters...that's what friends are for," Dash says.

"T-Thank you..."

"Now...do you wish to keep this a secret or should we gather up the others and the princesses?"

"I...I..."

"It's okay Flutters, I'll keep your secret--"

"No, I...I shouldn't have to hide this from you or my friends, you all trust me and if there is something, then I should say something." Fluttershy says.

"Alright...I'll gather up the others," Rainbow says.

"So...a Vampony made it possible again?" An Orange Earth Pony who had a blonde ponytail and a cowmare hat on asked.

Fluttershy nods, "A-At least I don't have a thirst for your apples...Applejack."

Applejack awkwardly chuckles, knowing she's trying to lighten the mood, but she could tell she was still scared to say this.

"Oh Darling, you should've told us, we would've helped you from the start...even the Princesses would." A White Unicorn with a styled purple mane asked.

"I know Rarity...but you n-never know how anypony would r-react...especially the rest of the ponies here," Fluttershy replies.

"We all would've supported you Fluttershy." A Pink Pony asks, her mane and tail all poofy.

"That's right," A Dark Violet colored Unicorn looked at Fluttershy, with her broken horn and the scarred eye, "You accepted me after what I did...why wouldn't we accept you for what you are now? We know you wouldn't hurt anyone...same went for...Starlight."

The Ponies looked down after hearing that name.

Soon all the ponies walked up to her and hugged her.

"Thank you, Pinkie...Tempest...thank you all."

"We're your friend Flutters, nothing would ever change that." Applejack says.

"I...I miss Twilight, she would've helped find a way to reverse this." Fluttershy says.

"We all do darling, we all do."

Tempest tried to not let out a tear after hearing Twilight's name.

"Uhn..."

"Hey, Twi,"

"Nnn..."

Capper lightly grins as then he pulls the blanket off of the Anthro Alicorn.

"Ugh...fuck off and let me rest for another year." The Mare groaned and turned her body.

Capper lightly surprised at her language but lightly chuckled, "Damn you definitely changed Twi," Capper grabbed a satchel and wrapped it around his feline body, "The sandstorm cleared, so we should probably head to Saddle Arabia."

"Ughnnn...alright."

The Mare slowly got up and rubbed her eyes, her long hair a mess and in a bedhead-like style. She grabs her sword and sheath, wrapping the strap around her waist.

"And I snagged a couple things for you since you're in new territory."

Capper holds out a couple leather black fingerless gloves, besides covering her hands...partially, they covered the first half of her arms and stopped at her elbow as there was a buckle on each glove, she smirked and put them on, tightening the straps on them. The Cat then pulls out some...knee pads, she happily took them and tightened them, knocking on them to feel that they were comfortable and could move perfectly in them.

"Thanks, Capper...Angel, you awake and ready?" The Mare asked.

Soon the White Bunny crawled out of her tank top and yawned, then nodded.

Helsing giggled and the three headed towards the ship, she lifted the hood and covered her head from the sun with her new Cloak.

After a bit of walking and traveling down stairs and slopes, they reach the docks, seeing there was a ship.

"After the Storm King Downfall...I took one of his old ships and repainted it, now it's my personal traveling ship or...relaxing ship, I use this to visit the ponies in Saddle now." Capper said.

The two board the ship and Capper readied the sails, undoing the ropes around the dock, and got the wheel in position.

"Well Twilight, shall we go see your friends again?"

Helsing...Twilight struggled with two names, thinking which one was truly hers.

"Ugh...Capper...can you call me Helsing until more memories tell me who I really am?"

"Twilight what are you talking about, as far as I can tell, your name has always been Twilight."

The Mare sighed and groaned as then she went into the quarters of the ship, "Let's just go, let me know when we get there."

Capper looked at her with worry...he sighs, "Alright,"

The Anthro Alicorn sat down and clutched her head, groaning.

"Fucking...memories...they're so confusing...some of them don't...fit...together."

It was daytime in Ponyville, the birds chirping as then slowly The Dark Violet Unicorn Tempest groaned as she slowly began to wake up, her eyes slowly slid open, and on cue, somepony was knocking on her door.

"Come in."

The Door opened and it was Twilight, the Purple Alicorn trotted over to Tempest as she levitated a tray of breakfast, "Morning Tempest, how did you sleep?"

"Like I haven't slept in months, I feel good." She smiled.

"I'm happy to hear that, anyway Starlight made you breakfast, she and Spike are going out to visit Fluttershy so it's just me and you today."

"Really? Well I mean at least that means nothing can interrupt us from having a nice conversation...b-but...why do you let me stay here and everything? Shouldn't I be rotting in a dungeon?"

"Tempest we went over this already...five times, I excused you of that, I believe in forgiveness, I do it a lot and many may not agree with my actions but if I don't forgive, I'd be a terrible Princess of Friendship."

"True...but I almost killed you and your friends."

"Not the first time we were threatened with that Tempest, plus...you saved my life in the end...I am grateful for that and it proved you can be forgiven. You're an amazing Unicorn Tempest, don't ever forget that."

Tempest lightly blushed from that...everyday she felt more comfortable with Twilight and no one else really, she could just talk to her for hours and hours.

"I'm not as amazing as you, Princess." Tempest teased.

"Oh be quiet Tempest, just because I'm a Princess, doesn't mean I'm better, I don't even like the title of Princess that much."

"Really?" Tempest looked in surprise.

Twilight nodded and lied next to Tempest, smiling.

"It was a title I never asked for but I had to get used to it, and I did, I may not like it but my role in Equestria is strong for all the ponies that live here, including you, If I can forgive you then many others can,"

Tempest looked away, but then Twilight put a hoof to her cheek and had her look at the Alicorn still, "I truly can believe that."

The Dark Violet Unicorn scooted closer to Twilight...beginning to move her foreleg around the Alicorn, lightly blushing.

Twilight began to blush as well, soon she...began to nuzzle Tempest.

"Thank you Twilight."

"You're welcome...Fizzle." She giggled at the tease.

Tempest held back a giggle and pushed her hoof against Twilight's shoulder.

"Can we...stay like this for a bit?" Tempest asked.

Twilight blushed and soon...she wrapped both of her forelegs around Tempest, her doing the same, "Of course."

The Anthro Mare had her arms around a pillow, her fingers clutched into the cushion as she then kissed it.

Helsing...

A Grey Anthro Unicorn Mare with a long Black Mane and Red Eyes had her arms wrapped around an anthro Stallion, both rune marks scarred into them as their half-naked bodies were clutched together.

"Dante," The Mare whispered as they kissed passionately.

The loving anthro pony couple groaning as their grips tightened, soon enough a bell began to rung. The two stopped and the Mare lightly growled.

"Damn old pony can't go ten minutes without needing something."

The Shadow Coated and White Haired Stallion chuckled at his lover, "Oh calm down Helsing, let's just go see what the Master requests." He kisses her again.

"Heh, alright, but I hope we'll get more time to ourselves after."

"Don't jinx it."

The Mare had light tears leave her eyes...the memories that couldn't match made her head hurt.

"Who am I? What the fuck am I?" She groans.

"Twilight--er...Helsing! We're approaching Saddle!" Capper yelled and knocked on the door.

"That...quick?" Helsing asked, Capper not hearing her normal pitch, she adjusts her gloves and kneepads and straps the sword around her again and puts the cloak around herself instead of a blanket like earlier. The Mare exits the quarters, going upstairs and seeing the sandy town up ahead, she approaches Capper and stands next to him.

"How long were we sailing?" Helsing asks.

"You mean how long were you passed out and making out with a pillow? About two hours." Capper chuckles.

Helsing lightly blushed, "Never speak of that ever again...more memories were returning."

"Ooh, I see." Capper winks.

Helsing hit the back of his head, giving a smirk at him.

After a while the ship weighs anchor, getting to the docks.

Helsing, Capper, and Angel who was on the Mare's shoulder all walk through the docks, approaching a checkpoint, two Equestrian Guards and a Saddle Arabia Equine Guard stood there...the Saddle guard was about three inches taller than Helsing. The two looked at the anthro mare who had her hood on, her mane covering one of her eyes.

"Capper is it?" The Guard asks.

"Hey, you got it this time!" The Cat says, chuckling.

"Yep...who's your friend?" The Guard asks.

"Oh her? Helsing, she's been traveling to get here." Capper says.

"Uh-huh...and what's with the sword?" The Guard asks.

Helsing lightly sighs, "Why do you think?"

"No, I don't think why." The Guard says, walking up to the Anthro Mare.

"Vamponies, you think I'm not going to defend myself?" Helsing says.

"I doubt a lady like you can handle vamponies." The Guard chuckles, his buddy doing so as well.

"Excuse me?" Helsing says, sounding somewhat irritated now, she walks up to him and stares at him, her red eye looking into him.

"That's enough you two." The Saddle Guard says to the guards then walks to the two visitors, "Sorry about that...welcome back Capper, and Welcome...Madam Helsing to Saddle Arabia." The Gentlestallion Guard smiled and moved out the way so the two could enter.

Capper smiled at Helsing, "C'mon, let's go find your friends."

Helsing smiled back.

My friends.

The two walked through alleyways and walkways, as they did, they saw Saddle Equines, Equestrian Equines, even some other species such as Gryphons.

Soon enough there was a group up ahead...as the two got closer, the equestrian ponies looked at them...staring.

"I guess they're not keen on outsiders or something." Helsing whispers.

"Anyone can change after they experienced something."

"They've experienced Hell, that's what...and three things can happen...those that become more paranoid and prone to violence to anything that even looks at them funny, and those that become scared and worried for themselves...those two do not collide very well...and last are the ones that become lifeless, have either lost hope or moved on, just waiting for the end."

"Which one are you then?" Capper asks.

"I'm one of the few that knows what might or will happen, but right now I only give a shit about two things right now," Helsing says as she just keeps walking...ignoring the staring ponies and horses.

"Alright...well stay here, I'm gonna grab us some food, I'm hungry," Capper says.

"Hey, that sounds good...here let Angel come with you because he's picky about his food," Helsing says.

"Heh...alright," Capper has Angel hop onto his shoulder and the two head off real quick.

Helsing just trotted for a bit until she then bumps into somepony, she looks down to see two ponies, a White Unicorn with Purple Hair and a Yellow Pegasus with Pink Hair, both mares.

"Oh um...s-s-s-sorry about that..." The Pegasus looked frightened because of her size.

"Oh we terribly apologize dear," The Unicorn says with a Fancy kind of Accent.

"It's no problem, this place can be crowded after all," Helsing says.

"True to that, darling...my dear can I say your style is a bit ruggish." She says.

"Um...what's it to you?" Helsing says, looking slightly annoyed.

The Unicorn could tell she didn't want to hear that and immediately backed off, "Oh well um...s-sorry about that."

The Pegasus looked at the Anthro and could see her red eye...Helsing could see her eyes...they shined blue...but they blinked red.

Helsing's eyes slightly widened from that.

Son of a bitch...

The Mare suddenly used her horn...the Pegasus was suddenly still and was confused, the Unicorn was also stopped.

"What...what's going on?" The Unicorn asks.

Helsing then manipulated their movement and had them walk into an alley...away from the crowd...same went for Helsing as then soon the two stood frozen.

"What d-do you want? I-I'm sorry about insulting your clothing!"

Helsing's eyes glowed as then she growled.

"You think you can easily hide Vampony?" The Mare growled.

"W-What? How did--"

"It's what I do...I kill your kind like I've been doing for centuries, what you don't know who I am?"

The Pegasus whimpers...looking scared.

"You gonna beg for mercy?" Helsing growled.

No!

Helsing suddenly froze as then suddenly images of the Yellow Pegasus popped into her mind...soon she releases the spell and puts her hands on Fluttershy carefully.

"Look at me." Helsing calmly says.

"W-What?"

"Look into my eyes." She says...sounding like she now had regret.

The Pegasus did so...Helsing looked back at her...her horn tapped the Mare's head and soon she saw visions...She saw her getting unwillingly bitten by a Vampony, she saw her crying as she was in pain...as well as seeing parts of her body shift painfully...like her teeth.

"Victim..." Helsing says.

She then sees her in that form in an Apple Orchard...and it reforming back to normal from a spell.

"Curse..."

Soon she sees herself with the Mare and soon she remembered again. Helsing lightly gasped...as she looked at Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy..."

Fluttershy looked at the Mare in surprise, "How do you know who I am and...what I am?"

"I...I...ugh...memories are overlapping...It's so hard."

Helsing clutched her head, the hood lightly sliding, revealing her mane.

Fluttershy's eyes widened, "Wait," She then takes the hood off.

Helsing stopped clutching her head and she looked at Fluttershy...and Rarity.

The two Mares then gasped, Rarity having her mouth covered and Fluttershy...just shocked.

"Oh my goodness," Fluttershy says, she moves a bit closer and examines if it's really her, "Twilight?"

Rarity suddenly faints, lying on the ground.

"Helsing? Where are you--" Capper shows up with some food, but freezes, seeing Fluttershy and Rarity.

Fluttershy looks over to the Feline, "Capper...w-who's that on your shoulder?"

Angel Bunny hops and actually smiles happily, waving.

Fluttershy then faints.

Helsing sighs as then she picks up both ponies, not having trouble.

"C'mon let's go find my other...friends." Helsing sighed, looking annoyed as she passes by Capper.

"W-Wait, don't you want your sandwich?" Capper asks.

The two walked as both carried one of the two passed out ponies.

"How close is the house they meet in you say?" Helsing asks.

"About a couple feet on the right of us," Capper says.

Helsing looks to her right...seeing through the windows that it seemed to house many ponies, but she then sees a little purple and green dragon through the window...holding something.

"Put my hood on Capper," Helsing said.

Capper does so and Helsing's hair and face is covered, helping her cover her muzzle as well, her red eyes only showing, Capper then knocks on the door.

"Who is it?" The Young Dragon asks.

"It's Capper!"

"What?" Spike quickly comes to open the door and soon sees him and a the hooded Helsing holding his friends.

"They were passed out in the Market," Capper says.

Spike moves out of the way to let Capper in, soon he sees the hooded Helsing walk in.

"Who's this?"

"Oh, she's a close friend of mine, she just wanted to come along, and she's the one who saw Fluttershy and Rarity passed out," Capper says.

"Oh, well great, let me get the others," Spike says, rushing upstairs.

Capper and Helsing put the two ponies on the bed, Helsing sighing.

"I will tell them myself alright?" Helsing said, looking at the anthromorphic cat.

Capper nodded and soon saw Spike coming back downstairs, with four other ponies.

"Capper!" Most of the ponies said with happiness.

"It's great to see ya again," Applejack says.

"Good to see you too Applejack, all of you crazy ponies," Capper says as he chuckles.

"So who's your friend there Capper?" Applejack says.

"Friend of mine, she's been a close friend for a while now."

Applejack's brow lightly raised...already knowing something is up, but she'd worry about it later, two of her friends are passed out right now after all.

"Capper says his friend found them passed out."

"Do you know how they passed out?" Rainbow asks.

"No, I do not," Helsing replies.

The Mares and Spike were somewhat taken back by the cold tone, seriousness, and darkness in her voice...Applejack just stared at her, getting more suspicious as she could see another lie.

"Maybe it was just exhaustion...it is hot out here after all," Tempest says, suddenly appearing in Helsing's Vision...her eyes widen.

"Excuse me...do you have a washroom anywhere?" Helsing asks.

"Yeah, let me show you." Applejack says.

"It's fine, I can find it on my own,"

"Trust me, this house is pretty big."

Helsing sighed lightly and nodded letting her show the way, the two walking through a light hallway.

"Interesting Sword you got there Miss." Applejack says.

"Thank you...need to protect myself from Vamponies somehow."

"No doubt, our home is completely taken over by them,"

"So I hear, I'm sorry to hear that...did you lose anyone?" Helsing asks.

Applejack was a bit hesitant but then looked at her, "Their names were Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer."

Star...light?

"Well, at least she won't live to see how much Hell itself in Equestria."

"Hell?"

"Tartarus is threatening with monsters and such created by Faust herself to cage them, but Hell cages the worst, the most bloodthirsty, and the ones that will show no mercy to any species including their own, they are savages." Helsing answers.

"So the Vamponies are one of theirs?" Applejack asks.

"Was, now they're free and they are as brutal as they were hundred thousand years ago."

"Hundred Thousand years ago? Never heard of books dating that far...Equestrian wise." Applejack says.

"I'd be surprised if there was...most things that happened in those times shouldn't be fully known."

"And how do you know that?" Applejack raising her eyebrow again.

"There are rare books that exist outside of Equestria, sometimes even old journals, magic orbs, or books that are written in dead languages," Helsing replies.

"Huh...Twilight would've loved hearing things like that." Applejack said.

"Was she a bookworm?" Helsing asked.

"Yeah, a big one, she was so smart and kind, she was always so focused on the tasks at hooves, making sure things were done yesterday. She was determined and that's why she was amazing and even became the Princess of Friendship. She was a fighter but only when needed and always gave second chances and was never cruel." Applejack says...then sniffs, wiping an eye.

"She sounds amazing, wish I met her..."

Fucking Ironic...fuck my life.

"Yeah...can I ask you something, miss?" Applejack asks.

"Sure and call me...Helsing."

"How did they pass out exactly?"

Helsing stared at Applejack.

"I don't know--"

"Now we both know that ain't true, I just told you about a close friend of mine...now you could at least do a courtesy and tell me why two of my other close friends are passed out like they saw something frightening." Applejack says.

Helsing lightly sighs again, "It was me, they passed out because of me."

"What?" Applejack getting bothered by that answer.

"Believe me when I say this...I have magic that can tell me who is a Vampony and who isn't, old magic that helps me with that, your friend Fluttershy gave off that energy of blood and soon I dragged them both into an alleyway and was about to take her out."

Applejack growled a bit with anger, "And what in Tartarus name stopped you hm?"

"Something stopped me and then I checked her...and I found out she is a Victim...in other words, innocent. I saw that she hasn't taken one innocent soul besides Animals but I understood why she did it...Vamponies need to feed on blood once a day otherwise they will slowly wither and die...I guess I frightened her a bit to the point where she and your other friend passed out."

"You're leaving something else out,"

"What?"

"Helsing, I need you to politely cut the bullshit and tell me the whole thing and not leave anything out of that sentence you said."

"...Not right now." Helsing said as she spotted the washroom's door open, immediately shutting it as she immediately turns on the water and splashes her face, panting and emotions running high as more memories were beginning to play...it already began to make her sad.

"They're coming! We need to get to Canterlot now!"

Soon the Windows were shattered as a pack of Vamponies landed in the room.

"Hello...Princess." One of the Vamponies said.

Twilight breathed and stared in shock...panting as then she growled and her horn lighting up.

"And who are you?"

"Oh...call me Sinister, my real name is barely remembered to me...now, I'm gonna need you to come with me."

"And what makes you think I'll come with you?" Twilight growled.

"Well," Sinister then had Tempest by his side...with a dagger to her throat.

"We wouldn't want dear Fizzle here hurt now would we?"

"Twilight, forget about me! Get out of here now!" Tempest said.

Twilight sank, her friend being used...but she did not want to see Tempest's bloody corpse on the floor.

"No...I'll come...just please...don't hurt her."

"You have my word," Sinister says.

Twilight slowly trotted towards Sinister as then suddenly a spell beam blasted at his wrist...a threatening one.

"Gah!" He drops his dagger and looks at his wrist...but then Tempest kicks Sinister with her hind hooves, quickly running from him.

Twilight looked behind her to see her student, Starlight Glimmer, her horn glowing red instead of the usual mint color.

"Starlight?"

"You think I'd forget some dark spells in case of emergencies?" Starlight says.

"I told you to never use them!" Twilight shouted

"Leave first, lecture later!" Tempest says.

Twilight sighed and the three ran...but quickly Sinister attempted to tackle Twilight...unfortunately Starlight but up a barrier spell to block him, using his dagger to cut through the magical shield, Starlight was attempting to hold it, but his strength and his...blood glowing dagger was cutting through the magic.

"Get out of here! Now!" Starlight says.

"What? No! Let's go Starlight!" Tempest said.

"Go!"

Starlight focused back on the shield soon the dagger broke through and Sinister growled and tackled Starlight...and thrusted the dagger through her chest, she gasped and her eyes widened.

Twilight gasped as well, covering her muzzle...eyes already watering up.

Starlight, using the last of her strength uses her magic and pushes the two ponies out of the room, then closing and locking the door...the last thing they saw was Sinister digging his sharp teeth into Starlight then the door slams shut and locked.

"No...nononono...please no...no!" Twilight said, tears falling.

"Twilight...Twilight! We have to go now before he crumbles those doors down." Tempest said, holding her hoof, trying to quickly comfort her.

Twilight didn't say a word and did what Tempest said, she ran and didn't look back, escaping the castle.

Helsing had tears streaming as then she shouts and slams her fist against the mirror in front of her, still panting...her hands now bloody and cut...even the gloves a bit cut...she took off her hood, her hair a bit of a mess...staring down at the sink as water, tears, and blood flow down into the drain.

"S-Starlight...fuck."

Helsing cried...actually letting herself have tears fall...not holding back as more and more memories reform.

"Twilight?"

Helsing looked to her side to see Applejack there...her eyes in shock...and a bit watery...she wanted to say something...instead she didn't say anything, she just crouched down and gave Applejack a long and comforting hug as she continued to cry...the tears dropping onto Applejack's fur, and the blood dirtying up her fur even more.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...It's all my fault."

Applejack just hugged her long lost friend...speechless.

"I'm sorry..." Twilight said...her voice sounding like hers again for just a second.
