Applejack and the Vampony Hunters

It had been six long hours of training before Applejack and Rainbow Dash were told they were allowed to rest.

The very next morning, the two friends met up with their group, they were going to travel with Bow Hothoof, Burnt Oak, Octavia and of course Raribat, as well as themselves.

The group left the hunters headquarters and followed Octavia all the way to the town market before turning into an alleyway where they saw an ominous figure lingering by a door. This figure stepped into the street after throwing away a bottle he had.

"Right then..." Octavia started as Rainbow Dash yawned loudly as Octavia just glared at her with the same look as Raribat. "...As I was trying to say, first we need to gather information on the Coven Master." This got Raribat's attention the moment the words left Octavia's mouth. "Our informant is a pureblood vampony named Vinyl Scratch. She is one of the only vamponies able to freely update us on the covens movement due to the fact that she got kicked from the coven due to being a touch too noisy both day and night." Octavia said as she knocked on the door.

When the door opened the group was greeted by Vinyl Scratch who (to no ones surprise) was wearing her headphones and trademark shades.

"Tavi, long time no see, what brings you and your crew to my humble abode?" Vinyl asked, making sure the others saw her fangs.

"We are here for information on the coven master who recently resurfaced, the same one you said had gone to sleep until the next summer solstice." Octavia said sternly.

The next few hours resulted in laying low until dark, Vinyl Scratch then chose to take them to her house.

"Okay, first I'm gonna lay down some rules concerning my house, first: if I tell you to hide then do so, I get plenty of company from the tutors that my family shove down my throat, second: anything you break you buy, especially since the door alone costs 100000 bits..." hearing this caused 3 out of 6 mouths dropped.

"Can... We... Just... Get... On... With... The... Job?" Octavia said through seethed teeth.

"What's your problem sugarcube?" Applejack asked with no regard for the fact that Burnt Oak was trying to hold her back.

"Not important, just get me inside before the moon comes out!" Octavia said through seethed teeth.

After a few hours of chatting in a bar Octavia finally chose to reveal her 'condition'.

"Now wait just one Celestia-damned minute, what you're saying is that you're part wolf?" Rainbow Dash asked, just to be sure.

"No what I'm saying is that I am a werewolf, those timberwolves you so wonderfully take care of, are the type that turn others unto their own species. You can thank nightmare moon for that." Octavia replied with just a hint of malice in her voice.

"We should get moving, my house isn't that far from here." Vinyl Scratch said with an unmistakable air of seriousness about her.

"Well Vinyl, I don't suppose that you could undo this transformation, being a pureblood?" This request (along with Raribats lack of formality towards a pureblood) made Vinyl Scratch smile.

"Sorry but that can only be done with the coven masters staff, and that is something that even I wouldn't go after." She said, much to Raribats dismay.

"This is the place." Vinyl Scratch said as the group approached a mansion that could rival the Canterlot Palace.

"Right, then now that we're here you can tell us what we need to know." Bow Hothoof said with eager impatience.

"Yeah but first I need to know that I won't be sold out when you confront the coven master and save your friends." Vinyl Scratch said, matching Bow Hothoofs impatience.

"You haven't been caught yet have you?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"No." was all Vinyl Scratch could say as Rainbow Dash just stepped closer.

"Then trust us, we will not under any circumstance let you be caught." As Rainbow Dash hugged Vinyl and looked her in the eye, telling Vinyl that she was being true.

After a few minutes, Vinyl smiled and motioned for the group to follow her, the were led to a room with several seats and after a few moments everyone was seated where they wished Vinyl called their attention.

"Alright, so the coven master has returned but at the moment she isn't a threat, in fact she is vulnerable but we all know that nopony can kill her with conventional methods. We also know that she can't be killed by a werewolf nor by a newly forming vampony. What we do know is that she can put back into a sleep cycle by using the same staff that she has hidden from the entire coven." Vinyl explained carefully, so as to let everything sink in.

"However the coven is located in the Everfree Forest, somewhere within a 50 mile radius of the old castle, That all I can remember mainly because they tried to erase the location from my mind, and only got halfway before I escaped." Vinyl Scratch said with a hint of pride in her voice.

"Well then I think our best chance is to canvas the are during the day so as to avoid any unwanted attention from the coven." Octavia said with the authority in her voice that she thought she was beginning to lose.

"We search in groups of 2, Octavia you take Rarity, Burnt Oak you take Applejack, and I'll take Rainbow Dash, if something happens or our objective is located send up a flare and meet back up at the castle." Bow Hothoof said as everypony else nodded.

"Vinyl would we be able to spend the night here?" Burnt Oak asked.

"Yeah but I'm afraid you're gonna have to sleep in the cellar/guest room, that should be okay with you right Tavi?." Vinyl replied and asked teasingly.

"Don't start that again, it will do." Octavia said with a hint of tiredness in her voice.
