A Vampire in Equestria

Lamia started the tour, showing Alucard around. While they walked through the park, the other ponies started to stop what they were doing to look at him.

"Welcome to Thestral Valley, we're in the park," Lamia giggled, "first stop, Magna's house!"

Alucard could only laugh thinking about what was happening, who was this Magna she was talking about, in the end that did not matter much, as always he would have to leave.

Remembering what happened a couple of hours ago in Vanhoover, and that one of the witnesses was an army officer, it would not be long before hunters were on top of his head, 'what a problematic situation,' he thought.

Without paying attention to time or Lamia, Alucard did not realize that they had reached their destination, Magna's house, which for some reason was located in the middle of the park.

"Here we are! You'll love him, Magna is super cool, he's friends with all the animals of the Smokey Mountains." Lamia said with a smile as she knocked on the door of Magna's house.

Almost immediately, a thestral earth pony with a soft gray coat, peeked through the door.

"Magna, it's me!" Exclaimed Lamia with a smile directed at the stallion behind the door.

"Oh hey, you scared me for a moment," Magna replied in a relaxed manner, changing his attitude completely when he directed his gaze at Alucard. "N-nice to m-m-meet you-u sir-r..."

"My name is Alucard, and as I told Lamia, I don't bite, well, maybe sometimes." Alucard said looking at Magna as he was thinking. 'Come on Alucard, you have to try... be more approachable, it wouldn't hurt you to try to smile every once in a while.'

With that thought Alucard smiled in the most honest way possible, although the result was the opposite of what he was looking for, instead of calming the shy pony, Magna fainted on the spot after seeing Alucard's noticeably more predatory fangs.

"Ehm... sorry?" said Alucard looking at the unconscious pony on the floor.

"It seems you have..." Lamia said among snickers, "a killer smile, HAHAHAHAHA, get it?"

After Magna woke up, they had a conversation about what happened, Magna apologizing numerous times for fainting while stealing occasional glances at Alucard's fangs.

Alucard and Lamia were sitting in the living room of Magna's house as they heard him come out of the kitchen with a tray full of cookies and tea.

"I'm so sorry, you came here to make a new friend, and I passed out like a coward." Magna said in a sad tone.

"Hey, don't be sad, Alucard is very spooky." Lamia said, caressing Magna's head.

"Thanks... I guess?" Alucard said as he drank his tea while raising a brow.

Magna was nervous, and regretted his reaction. After drinking tea and eating some cookies, a little rat appeared out of nowhere, jumping on Magna's back.

"Oh, hi there Hamlet," Magna said lovingly looking at the rat, "we have visitors, be a good boy and say hello."

The rat looked at Alucard and began to squeak in what seemed to be a threat, then looked at Lamia and made a sign of I'm watching you.

"Hamlet, that's no way to talk to our guests, apologize." said Magna, trying to sound authoritative, to which Hamlet responded by ignoring him completely and leaving the room. "Excuse him, he's like that sometimes."

"Well, that's hamlet for you," Lamia said between laughs.

Alucard was still processing the fact that a rat, an animal that in his original world had no intelligence beyond that necessary to eat and reproduce, had apparently just threatened him.

"It's okay, and what do you do for a living Magna? Lamia just told me you're one of her best friends, but besides that I have no other information." Alucard asked.

"Oh, well, I take care of the animals in the mountains, although I don't have much work," Magna replied with a smile.

"What do you mean that you don't have much work?" asked Alucard.

"Well, most of the animals in the mountains are predators, so it's rare for them to come and ask for help, counting Hamlet, I have five animals in my care, but the other four are already recovering and will be returning to the mountains to be with their families soon, and Hamlet is my pet." Magna replied. "And what about you Mr Alucard, what do you do for a living?"

The second that Magna asked that, time around Alucard seemed to slow down, thinking about what would be the best answer so as to not scare Lamia or Magna, whilst also wondering why he even cared what others thought.

"I'm a mercenary, if someone has a problem that they cannot solve, I'll take care of it." answered Alucard with a devilish smile.

"A mercenary, COOL! I'm the event planner of Thestral Valley, parties, meetings, dances, whatever you want, I make it happen!" exclaimed Lamia with a smile.

"A mercenary? I suppose it's normal, most of the thestrals are guards, there's not much work options for those who sleep during the day." declared Magna as he finished his tea.

"Okay, let's go! I still have to introduce you to the others," shouted Lamia, dragging Alucard towards the exit.

"Oh, good for you." Magna tried to say goodbye, only to be dragged out by Lamia once she got Alucard out of the house.

"Oh no mister, you're coming with us!" Lamia said seemingly teleporting behind Magna.

'How does she do that.' Alucard thought while seeing Lamia popping in and out of reality.

After leaving Magna's house, Lamia decided to go to the city center where another of her friends lived, Lamia described him as a somewhat eccentric artist. While walking, Lamia and Magna began to talk about Lapis.

"Lapis is super friendly, but I recommend you take off those clothes before talking to him," said Lamia, pointing to Alucard's attire.

"Yes, the last time I dressed out of season, he sat me down to talk for two hours about the crime to art and fashion that I had committed," Magna said while laughing.

"Is he a clothes designer?" Asked Alucard, looking at Lamia and Magna.

"No, well, his talent is art and everything that surrounds art, he paints, decorates, designs clothes and many other things, but mainly paints works of art." Magna replied as he scratched his head, thinking about everything Lapis was working on.

"Exactly, did you know that he's currently the artist in charge of the new windows in the throne room of the Princess Celestia? He's also the one in charge of the bi-yearly maintenance of the throne room windows including the windows that are more than a thousand years old and he keeps them in really good condition." Lamia exclaimed with pride.

"I see," replied Alucard looking at his attire thoughtfully, "I guess it would be better to take this off, so far it has only brought more attention to me," with that, the clothes vanished into black flames that dissipated into the night leaving Alucard with nothing but his glasses.

"Wow!" Exclaimed Lamia, looking at Alucard's flank.

"Incredible," exclaimed Manga along with Lamia

Alucard was confused, why were they staring? These ponies were looking at his ass, they were all naked according to his point of view, but before Alucard could say anything, Lamia began to speak.

"What does your cutie mark mean?" asked Lamia, pointing to Alucard's flank.

"It has some inscriptions in another language, one which I've never seen before." Magna added, staring at Alucard's flank.

Alucard decided to take a look, and see what all the fuss was about. Finding a familiar symbol that he recognizing instantly, he began to laugh.

"It is a seal to limit certain things," Alucard replied, wondering if his cutie mark could bring him problems in the future, or if someone could recreate the seal.

"Oh, a seal, well you're a unicorn, so you must be great with magic." Lamia said with a smile.

"Oh, well, it must be a very special talent for you if it's your cutie mark," Magna said.

Alucard was curious, since he came, the last thing he had thought of was seeing the butts of these ponies, but if these cutie marks represented the talents of ponies, that made him wonder what cutie marks Lamia and Magna had, which he decided to take a look at. The cutie mark of Magna was the figure of a tree with several animals around it, Magna didn't even notice that Alucard was examining his cutie mark.

'A tree with animals around it, makes sense, he takes care of the animals when they need it, I wonder what Lamia's cutie mark would be,' Alucard turned his head to see Lamia's cutie mark, it was a cake with confetti around it.

'Interesting, I suppose it suits her personality,' but his train of thought was stopped when Lamia turned around with a devilish smile.

"If you're going to look at the cake so much, you better have a taste, don't you think?" Lamia said with a provocative smile.

"No thank you, I was just curious to see your cutie mark." Alucard said while laughing at Lamia's proposal while thinking, 'little girl, I have more than five hundred years on you, it will take more than that to back me into a corner.'

"Hahaha, I know, silly." Lamia said with a natural smile this time.

"Don't pay too much attention to Lamia, she teases every now and then, I think it's due to the fact that almost all her friends are stallions." Magna whispered to Alucard.

"We've arrived, at the house of art and inspiration, where everything is unique, wonderful and special." exclaimed Lamia, knocking on the door at exorbitant speeds.

"LAMIA, I HAVE TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES, TO ONLY KNOCK ONCE!" Lapis exclaimed from inside the house.

After a couple of minutes, a thestral pegasus opened the door looking at Lamia with his eyes full of anger.

"I was painting my masterpiece, my magnum opus, my everything, and thanks to you, it's all useless now!" Lapis exclaimed glaring at Lamia furiously.

"Sorry Lapis, it's just that..." Lamia said but unable to control herself, she began to cry, "I wanted to introduce you to my new friend." the cries grew in intensity and jets of water began pouring out of Lamia's eyes.

"Oh you poor thing, don't cry. I'm sure he didn't mean it that way," Magna said soothingly, caressing Lamia, after a couple of seconds Magna glared at Lapis. "Are you not going to apologize?! She came here with the illusion that you and Alucard could become friends and you treat her like that! Apologize right now, what you lost was nothing more than a material possession, do not lose something irretrievable!" Magna said firmly without hesitation

Lapis, who had been hovering up to that point, fell to the ground, looking at Magna, and then seeing Lamia crying.

"You're right, I can always replace a work of art, but my friends are unique." said Lapis, approaching Lamia, "Excuse me, I should not take all my stress out on a beautiful mare such as yourself, can you forgive me?"

"Yes..." Lamia said as she hid behind her mane, drying her tears, "and I promise to knock on the door only once, or enter through my secret tunnel."

"Perfect darling... wait, what tunnel are you talking about?" asked Lapis with a confused look.

"Oh silly, I have a tunnel that takes me to the houses of all my best friends," said Lamia, recovering her mood, "But they're a secret," she whispered as she entered Lapis's house.

"I think I'll start moving the furniture..." said Lapis, "And you guys, excuse me for that show, as an apology, I will take you lot out to eat at the best restaurant in the area, but first, let me get a bath and fix my mane, I look simply terrible!" Exclaimed Lapis with a look of terror on his face.

"Yeah! All you can eat!" shouted Lamia from inside the house.

"Now darling, we already agreed on not letting you have all you can eat, last time I almost went into bankruptcy," said Lapis.

"But you really hurt my feelings, and I have a void that only fifty servings of fries could fill." Lamia shouted from inside the house again.

"Oh merciful Luna, well in retrospective, I was asking for this, I yelled at her and made her cry, this is the price for my sins." said Lapis, looking at Alucard and Magna in resignation.

"I'll help you with the bill, don't worry, And besides we already ate something at my house, so we may not even eat at all." said Magna with a comforting look.

"Hahah, This is quite the conundrum you've put yourself in mister Lapis," shouted Alucard while laughing.

"Indeed, but I will not allow you guys to pay, it's my treat. Now follow me gentlecolts, we have to look dashing for this evening!" exclaimed Lapis dragging Magna and Alucard

With his wings in to his house. Once inside he said, "Sweetie, I gotta fix the gentlecolts, so we look the part tonight! Just wait for us downstairs, okay?"

"Okay!" shouted Lamia while searching for snacks on the kitchen.

While Alucard was left thinking 'how did I even into this situation?'
