A Vampire in Equestria

Alucard was admiring the night, something in the night of this world was different, the night was calmer, more beautiful in his eyes. While the shadows embraced him, Alucard couldn't stop admiring the night in Equestria.

The bugbears stopped, seeing the scene of the pony admiring the night, while the shadows embraced him, being the fierce predators that they were, they thought there was nothing for them to fear, but for some reason, seeing that pony, filled them with complete and total despair.

"How beautiful. Nights like this, make me want a bite to drink. Yes... I could not imagine a more... perfect evening." sighed Alucard with a smile admiring the night. "Now, come on! Do what beasts do best and go wild!" He shouted as he focused on the bugbears.

The bugbears were paralyzed, but the leader of the pack managed to approach Alucard despite its trembling. Inside, it was scared to death, but it did not know the reason for that fear. Why was it so scared? A simple pony shouldn't scare it so much. The leader began to think that it was simply the magic of the unicorn, a manipulation spell or something like that.

"Haha, I see, I thought you were beasts without reasoning," said Alucard between snickers realizing the bugbears were paralyzed midair. "No matter, I'm thirsty."

The leader of the bugbears launched the first attack with his stinger, being three times bigger than the average bugbear meant a much larger stinger and significantly more damage dealt. The attack drilled into Alucard's right side, for a moment the bugbear roared, declaring its victory.

"Again, disappointment. Attack all at once, although the result will be the same." Alucard said quietly, while part of his face was missing.

The leader began to attack Alucard without stopping, destroying Alucard's body, piece by piece. Murian was in shock, tears falling down her face.

"Damn it!" Exclaimed Flash, angry at the fact that he couldn't do anything to help Alucard.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Murian in despair, seeing Alucard's seemingly dead body on the ground.

"Could you shut up? That scream has been the closest thing to real damage I've received in this tea party with bears." The blood on the floor began to reverse its flow and gather in one place, and in the blink of an eye Alucard was as good as new.

"What the hell are you?" whispered Flash to himself in disbelief of what had just happen.

"I guess it's my turn. Let's start this massacre!" shouted Alucard, preparing to attack while the bugbear leader finally began to understand what was happening. Why it was afraid, the reason why it felt total and absolute despair. It and its pack were nothing but prey to that pony.

On the right side of Alucard, a shadow began to form, taking the rough shape of a dog with multiple eyes, a hellhound. Before the leader of the bugbears could react, the hellhound began to devour it like candy, while the leader screamed in agony and despair, trying to run away, just to drown in its own blood.

The rest of the pack did not need another signal to decide that fleeing was the only available option, Alucard noticed that the others were fleeing, and took a moment to speak.

"My job is the extermination of monsters, and when I have a mission to eliminate, I do not leave any survivors." Alucard said in a distorted voice as if he had many echoes within himself, "So where do you think you are going, my little bears, the fun is right here!"

In less than a second, Alucard was already in front of them, this time, multiple shadows began to take form, surrounding the bugbears.

"You decided to attack that guard in a ratio of fifteen to one," said Alucard, pointing to Flash. "The only fair thing would be for you to try the same, don't you think?" the shadows finished taking form, leaving everypony present in shock, a total of two hundred and ten hellhounds were now surrounding the bugbears.

"Now you can start, fifteen for each of you, I hope you enjoy your own game!" Alucard said as the hellhounds growled at the bears, "Excuse my puppies, they haven't eaten in a long time, so they are more than likely to play a bit rough."

And so the massacre started. The bugbears were being destroyed by the hellhounds, while a rain of blood covered the city of Vanhoover, by the time Alucard's puppies finished, there was nothing left, even the blood that fell into the city had been consumed.

Below was Murian, Flash and Geldor. The three of them were frozen, looks of fear and terror on their faces, witnessing something they wouldn't have imagined in their wildest nightmares, they came to the conclusion that the thing in the air above them was not a pony, it was an abomination in pony skin, a monster.

Alucard could see the looks of terror on the ponies below him, and not just them, but also the ponies that had left their homes to see what was happening.

"It was a pleasure to meet you guys, your ribs were delicious, until we meet again, goodbye." With that, Alucard flew away from the city without a direction in mind, those looks, like so many before, did not affect him, or, so he believed, he was accustomed to being a weapon, a monster that other monsters feared, but for some reason, those looks echoed in his mind.

A couple of minutes after leaving Vanhoover, Alucard saw some nearby mountains, and decided to stay near the base of one for the night. As he descended to the base of the mountain, he kept thinking about the looks those three had given him, unable to figure out why they bothered him so much. They should just be three more people or ponies to add to the list of beings that had looked at him like that.

Upon reaching the ground, Alucard discarded those thoughts and began to walk around the mountain, after about fifteen minutes of seeing trees and the local flora and fauna, he found a decent enough place to sleep, the ground was soft and it would be easy to dig a hole to make a temporary coffin of earth.

But something caught Alucard's attention, in the trees, something was watching him, not with fear, but rather with curiosity.

"Can you come out? I don't bite..." Alucard paused, realizing the vampire pun he unintentionally said before correcting himself. "Forget that, rather, I won't bite you."

"I know, it's just that thestral unicorns are, like, extremely rare to find. Most thestrals are born either with wings or nothing, the chance of unicorn thestrals being born are like, nearly zero." said a pony with a female voice coming out of the bushes near the trees, flying towards Alucard. "My name is Lamia, sorry if I scared you."

She was different from the other ponies that Alucard had seen so far, she had fangs, and her ears and wings resembled those of a bat.

"Yes, you scared the crap out of me." Alucard replied in a sarcastic way, "Anyway, what are these thestrals you are talking about?"

"I'm one.... and you are too..." said Lamia, pointing to herself and then to Alucard before frowning. "They usually call us bat ponies, but it's a derogatory term and kinda racist, if you ask me."

"So I'm a thestral unicorn?" Alucard asked, looking at Lamia with a raised brow.

"Yes, which is super weird, cos in our entire history there have only been, like, ten or eleven unicorn thestrals." answered Lamia looking at Alucard from top to bottom, "your clothes are really strange too."

"It seems like my clothes are indeed weird here, you're the second to point that out." Alucard said looking at her, "Now if you'll excuse me, I should finish the place where I'm going to sleep tonight."

"That hole?!" exclaimed Lamia pointing the hole Alucard was digging. "No no no no no no no, follow me, Thestral Valley is nearby, we thestrals help each other out, so I won't let you sleep in some ditch, now let's go!"she said as she dragged Alucard into the woods.

"By the way, what were you doing out here?" asked Alucard

"This is my thinking spot, I usually come here with a book and some snacks when I need to, well, think," answered Lamia while continuing to drag Alucard into the woods.

Alucard decided to follow Lamia, she looked like a good girl, she even reminded him of Seras in a certain way, after about fifteen minutes of walking through the woods and Lamia talking about the wonders and marvels of Thestral Valley.

"Oh, you'll love it! There's no racism, everyone understands you, they don't look at you badly for eating meat, although most of them are vegetarians," Lamia exclaimed happily, "and I'm sure they'll love you, it's rare that we have new members in the Valley, as far as I know, all thestrals live there, so we all know each other. It's weird to get a new thestral, and on top of that, you're a unicorn!" she said between giggles.

"Hahaha, someone is excited." said Alucard among snickers. "Maybe you could give me a tour later."

"Of course I will!" shouted Lamia, a little too fast for her own liking, "Now! Behold, Thestral Valley!" she exclaimed as she opened a couple of bushes in front of her, showing the city a few miles away.

"Wonderful, now, if you could tell me where I can..." Alucard wanted to ask where he could sleep, but the girl's face begged for something else, "You want to give me the tour immediately, don't you?"

"Yes! Now, let's begin with the community park, I have so many ponies to introduce you to!" Lamia exclaimed, dragging Alucard again.

The city looked calm, and it was true that the ponies looked like him, maybe a tour and a comfortable place to sleep after the bear buffet he had was what he needed.
