Chapters The next day, I woke Nightshine up at 5:30 and let out for school. Everfree School was known for being... kinky... in some aspects.
Neither of us took too terribly long to get ready, so it wasn't too long before we left.
"Nightshine," I said, unfurling my wings, "Have you ever flew before?"
"Some."
"Do you want to follow me?"
"How high do we go?"
"Maybe five or so stories in the air."
Nobody in town had a problem with me being a vampire for the most part, so long as I didn't do anything disgusting in front of them (blood, wink wink), but my eyes were a different story. Dark midnight blue, their natural color, made people think I was looking in their soul. Red, well, I hope that, for Christ's sakes, you know what it means. AKA, I'm hungry. Eyes usually weren't a problem, as I liked to wear my blue glasses.
Nightshine's midnight coat, black mane, and eyes were truly a sight to behold, but when they turned red was when things got interesting.
When we arrived at school, things were normal until I got to homeroom/first period Anatomy, where Mr Gregorius had a bottle of Holy Water.
"If I suspect ANYTHING , Midnight Fang, I will use this."
"Mace for vampires," I said, taking my seat with Nightshine following me.
"What. Is that," he asked.
"He is Nightshine."
"Then I have some for the devil-animal, too."
"Can we just get on with the lesson?"
"Very well," he said, moving a beaker to the side of his desk, "Come and draw some blood."
So you can use the ALMIGHTY CLEANSING POWER on me? This is one of the reasons I don't go to church.
"Sure," I said, going and slitting my wrist, causing blood to squirt out everywhere, "Happy?" I said as he freaked out, along with people who felt they were in my vicinity.
"No, dammit!"
Thirty seconds later, the slit had completely healed, "Am I done for the day?"
"How old are you again?"
"One hundred forty-three."
"Whatever. You're in high school, so you should know better than to slit your wrists like that!"
"Fuck you, too."
Ms Auxilium came into the room, "What's going on in here?"
"I would say to guess, but knowing you..."
"Go to the principal!"
"I'll leave this shithole," I turned to Nightshine, "Come on, dude."
She watched as both of us left for the principal, but when I turned the corner, one of the hot-shot jock-boys held a knife to me.
"Hey!" a teacher said, "Give that here!"
"After I stab this asshole."
"Oh," he said, walking away, "Carry on, then."
He stabbed me repeatedly with the shraded kitchen knife, but did, predictably, no harm.
"Are you done yet?" I said, punching him in the face and knocking him out, not to mention giving Nightshine and myself a little treat from his nose and mouth, "I swear this guy does steroids," I said as we finished our walk to the principal's office.
"I understand you have had a problem, yet again, in class," Principal Summus said, "And get that monster out of here. One of you is bad enough!"
"Yes, and I'd like to transfer to Canterlot City High School as a result."
"Sign here, here, here, and here and I'll have Miss Surgawi notified while you are doing that."
As I did the paperwork, he talked on the phone, mentioning vampire, demon, and bat, then handed it to me, "She wishes to speak to you."
"Hello?" I said, returning the forms.
"Midnight, I am Principal Celestia of Canterlot City High. I understand that you want to be a wondercolt?"
"Essentially."
"Well, I've heard of your problems at Everfree Schools, but I think you'll do just fine here. Can you stop by later today so we can discuss more?"
"Yes."
"Your pet is also welcome anytime he wishes to come with you as well."
"Thank you," I said smiling.
"How does lunchtime sound for you?"
"That's fine. Would it be okay if I came and had a look at the campus until then?"
"That would be quite alright. On a sidenote, I believe you and my sister Luna would get along like siblings. She is a vampire as well."
"I'll be right over."
"I'll see you then," she said as the line clicked.
"Nightshine!" I said, picking him up, "We're getting out of this hellhole!"
"Yes!"
It wasn't too far of a flight between my house and Canterlot City High, a much newer school than the Great Depression era ES, what with being built in the early 80s, and the architecture and design still , even after several decades, screamed 1980s. Some spots even had more glass than wall on the inside.
"This is it," I said, letting Nightshine down as I landed, "You and I will be SO much happier here, I just know it."
As I walked down the halls, I saw a pale woman with multi-colored, waving hair, angelic wings, and what may have been an aura surrounding her. She was wearing a sky-blue dress that was cut to her hips at the left and right, each cut having a Sun charm at the top, with a sun-charm at the chest that kept said dress together, two Sun-gold bracelets and armlets, and I swear she smelled so pleasant it made my throat burn for ten seconds.
"I'm Principal Celestia. I take it you are Midnight?"
"Yes," I replied, "And this is Nightshine. We're vampires."
"Well, I'm an Earthen Angel."
"Wait, when you told me that your sister was a vampire, I assumed that you'd be one, too."
"Oh, heavens no," she explained, waiving a hand dismissively, "But it is something that nobody could figure out when we were born. Nevertheless," she continued, "We still love each other the same. Would you like to meet Luna?"
"Sure."
"Right this way."
She led me to an office that was rather dark, similar to the way I painted my bedroom: midnight colors and black. On a small table, there was an open laptop, obviously one for a damn-good gamer.
"Luna," Principal Celestia said, "I would like you to meet Midnight Fang."
She looked up, eyes turning from opal to crimson as she unfurled her wings, "I'm sure my sister has told you about us?"
"Yes."
There sat a blue vampire with midnight hair, emanating an aura that was a near polar opposite of the one from Principal Celestia. She was dressed in a plain black shirt, blue-jean pants, and blue-and-black converses not unlike mine.
"You are only one hundred forty-three, correct?"
"Yeah. I had a witchdoctor stop my ageing at eighteen-and-a-half."
"Well my sister and I are both somewhere in our seventy-five hundreds. A blessing was used for her at thirty-one, but I had a witchdoctor stop my ageing at around twenty-seven or twenty-eight."
"Oh, and I'd like to introduce you to Nightshine," I said as he sat down.
Vice-Principal Luna took a good look at him, "I remember having a pet thestral when half of the country thought the communists were coming. She had amber eyes, a tangerine coat, and red-orange and red striped mane and tail."
"That's neat. Have you ever considered getting another?" I sat next to Nightshine and hugged him.
"I may get another in the summer, probably a mare. Amber Fang was, well she was amazing."
I nodded my head in understanding as someone knocked on the door, "Come in."
"Luna, I needed to let you know that-" he noticed me, "Oh, I didn't realize you had a student in here."
"Oh, Midnight starts Monday. He's just here to meet a few people and get a feel for the campus," she looked at me, "Midnight, this is Professor Discord. He heads the anatomy department."
"Nice to meet you," he said, holding out a lion's paw, "I look forward to seeing you in my class."
"As long as there isn't gonna be any holy water, or Vampire Mace as I call it," I replied, shaking his paw
"Oh, of course not."
"As you know, I'm Seth and this is my thestral, Nightshine," he went over to Nightshine with the same hospitality, "Also, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you?"
"Don't worry, I get that question more times then there are eggs in an ovary. I'm a draconequus. And I don't know if Luna told you, but Celestia, her, Chrysalis, she's the physics teacher, and myself all grew up together."
"Oh," I said, "Back to you, Luna. Do you race? Because if you do, I have a 1987 Škoda 130 LR if you want to go to the racing strip.
"I have a 1999 Honda Civic," she said, smiling, "This afternoon, you're on."
"Chrissy and I'll bring the popcorn, then."
"And Nightshine, you get to ride in a rear-engine sports car with me going like a maniac."
"Do you think 'Tia's going to come?" Discord asked.
"Maybe, if I get her at the right time."
I spent the next hour with Nightshine getting to know some of our new teachers and a decent number of students.
Miss Cheerilee was a fairy, she taught English. Miss Harshwinny, a naga, taught history. Iron Will and Spitfire, a Minotaur and harpy with separate arms and wings, were the PE coaches. Mr Doodle, probably the only human there in the way of teachers, was the math teacher. Discord, as we found earlier, was a draconi-something. Chrysalis was a changeling and headed physics, along with being married to Discord. We quickly learned that they don't particularly like formalities. Ms Granny Smith and her children, Bright Mac and Pear Butter,all of whom were tree spirits, worked the cafeteria. The secretary, Ms Raven Inkwell, was a tenome.
~~~Meeting Miss Cheerilee~~~
As we headed down the halls, we turned into an empty classroom where a woman was organizing her desk.
"Can we come in?"
"Huh?" she said, looking up, "Oh, yes."
I let Nightshine go ahead of me, "You're Miss Cheerilee?"
"Yes."
"I'm Midnight Fang, and this is Nightshine. We start here Monday, and wanted to come and meet some of our teachers. We're both vampires."
"Ah, I see. Well, I'm a fairy, so you'll have to forgive me if I freak out, especially considering I've had vampires for students in the past that didn't quite go well."
"Ah, I getchya."
"Can I get you anything?"
"No, I'm fine."
"What about you, Nightshine?"
"I'm fine."
"I'll see you two on Monday, then."
~~~Meeting Miss Harshwhinny~~~
The next stop was Miss Harshwhinny.
"Enter," she said.
"Ms Harshwhinny," I said, "I'm Midnight Fang and this is Nightshine."
"Ah, you two are vampires? Well, I am a naga. Also, I will be your history and social science teacher,"
I cringed when she said "social".
"Yay."
"Is something wrong?" she said, getting up and coming over to me.
"Let's just say that since I had my Škoda done with a custom paint job twenty years ago, social has been a huge letdown for the most part. Then again, I've been around bitchy humans for so long."
"Well, I'll do everything I can to make sure that you don't have problems in my class," she returned to her desk, "Now, I have some work to do. We can chat more later."
~~~Meeting ~~Mrs~~ Chrysalis~~~
"Excuse me," I said, walking into a lab.
There, I was greeted with, on one lab table some kind of concoction being made (or artificial nuclear sludge, whichever), and a dark woman with fangs who was dressed in something more akin to if she were going to a casual party later today. She had teal hair and bug-like wings, black lipstick, green eyes with vertical pupils, and was covered in spots that were ever-so-slightly brighter than her skin, holes in her wings, and a decent-sized horn that looked like someone had cut chunks out of it.
"Just a sec," she said, looking up, "Oh, you must be Midnight," she looked at Nightshine, then went to rub his back, "And you're adorable."
"Nice to meet you, Ms Chrysalis," Nightshine said.
"Oh, drop the formality, you two. In 1965 when I started teaching, everyone was calling me by all of these titles, so I decided to rip that Band-Aid off around the Summer of Love. Sadly for Dissy, everyone kept calling him 'Professor' and junk until around the time Reagan started joking about the USSR."
"Speaking of which, I actually had a witch from the Soviet Union stop my aging a little early at eighteen, I'm forty-three, by the way."
"Ah. You'll start Monday, right?"
"Supposedly," I said, a smirk on my face.
"And you're gonna be racing Luna this afternoon?"
"I have a 1987 Škoda 130 LR ready to take her."
"Is that a good racer?"
"Let's just say it's a 130 horse, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, taking curves and turns at around a hundred MPH."
"Oh, that'll be good."
"Yeah, after I wreck into something."
"Don't do that," Chrysalis said, "Then you wouldn't be here."
"I don't know," I said, "Fifteen years ago, more or less, I spent a few minutes on the ground because someone thought it would be a good idea to snap my neck and stab me in the chest."
"Idiots come and idiots go, most of them like that don't make it out alive," she said, "I drained a guy's love one time," she held a finger to her chin in thought, "I think it had something to do with, well I'm not sure," she leaned on a table, "Anyway, I know it was during the Salem Witchcraft Trials, so I-"
"Holy water."
"That's it. How did you know?"
"My old anatomy teacher, along with the others at that fucking school, I swear were put in a freeze spell by a witch, then unloaded into the present day," she chuckled a little, "I mean, come on! We're not from hell!" I looked out in the hallway and saw a person with a pointed tail, demonic wings, and horns walk by, "Well, most of us, but you still get the point."
"It's just stupid," she said, "How humans do that, I mean, at the end of the day, hell you'd still have us to live around, so get over it."
"Thank you."
A few students began filing in, "Oh, there's my class. I'll see you Monday."
"You too," I replied, following Nightshine out into the hallway as her class began.
"Where to, next?" Nightshine asked as I closed the door behind us.
Author's Note
Sorry if it isn't good right now, I'm a bit under the weather.
A few minutes later, I ran into a girl who was running late to class, she must have been held over. From what I gathered, the teachers were pretty chill about showing up a little late, though. She was two shades brighter than my eye color at best, short, black hair, brown eyes, wore a sweater, eyeshadow, and ripped jeans.
"For a witch, I can't make potions do right," she said, hastily labeling bottles from a bag
She ran into me a second later, knocking my glasses and the bottle she was holding onto the floor. It didn't survive, sadly.
"Oh I'm so sorry!"
"No, it's fine," I said as she took out a bottle labeled ეხთრა სფეედ ხ10 .
"I gotta get to the lab, otherwise Chrysalis is going to kill me!"
I didn't know witch-script, but, assuming it was correct, had something to do with speed.
"I just got thr-" was all I got out before she fell down and started screaming, two lumps forming, "Do I need to get someone?"
"Oh Christ, this hurts!" there was a pool of blood on the floor as two lumps in the back of her shirt finished growing.
"What do I need to do?" I said, getting down next to her.
"Ithinkitwasapairofwingsthatcameout."
"What?"
"Just get my sharpie and mark around where the lumps are."
I did as she said, then she took her sweater off, "Okay, I know I said this before, and I don't understand witch culture, but are you okay?"
"I... I just need to... make holes for these wings," she said, taking a piece of the shattered glass bottle and cutting a crude hole for each wing, "God! Shit, that hurt!"
"Part of the reason I'm glad to have had mine from birth."
She stood up, "I'm Raven Dusk."
"Midnight Fang. Maybe I can help you get your potions labeled?"
"And how would..." she stretched out her new wings as if they were stiff, "...you plan to do that?"
"I could test a spoonful of them."
"I don't know," she said, "Some of them are weird and kinky."
"I'm a motherfucking vampire, I'm sure I can take it."
"I guess we'll meet up at my place after school?"
"I have your, and my soon-to-be, Vice-Principal to trash in a race this afternoon. Care to join us?"
"I like to see a good race, but I bet Luna's gonna win."
"Versus my '87 Škoda? I seriously have other opinions."
"A what?"
I showed her a video of a rallycross I did with it fifteen years ago.
"Okay then," she said, giving me an address, "I'll see you later?" she held one of her wings, "I'm pretty sure Chrys is gonna understand."
"Yeah, if you show up with a pair of wings and blood all over you, I'm pretty sure she'll laugh it off," I said as she made her way to the lab.

ეხთრა სფეედ ხ10 = extra speed x10
After our encounter with Raven, we went to go and see Discord again before lunch.
It looked like his room, which must've been used for a lab session, had been partially attacked by some kind of bad witchcraft.
"What... happened?" I said, noticing a centaur trying to help with the mess.
"A student, probably the clumsiest ever, mixed up a few things while she was-"
"Raven Dusk?"
"Yes," he said, sounding defeated.
"She pulled out a potion that, instead of giving her more speed, gave her wings," I said, cringing slightly, "Painful ones."
"She's okay now, right?"
"Yeah, just hurting," Nightshine replied, "Where's the worst of it?"
"Just around here," he pointed to where she must've been standing.
"I got it," Nightshine said, getting a large beaker, filling it with water, flying over to the mess, and dumping the water out, diluting it, "That should make things easier," he said, putting the glass on the table.
"Why didn't I," he put his talon over his face, "think of that."
"Sometimes we all miss the obvious?" I replied, getting a mop and cleaning what was left of the mess as I noticed the centaur was scared, somewhat, "Are you okay?"
"I've... been terrified of vampires for the last few months after something," the fifty-some-odd year old creature said, backing out of the room and leaving.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but they can die from old age?"
"Centaurs are, scientifically speaking, nothing special after you combine a human from the torso up with a horse's body," he took a mop and helped, Nightshine following suit, "No magic, charm, anything unless it's acquired later in life. Same goes for a lot of creatures that aren't human."
"Yeah, I had to have my watch charmed so I wouldn't sulfracate," I looked at it, "I swear, I wear it 24/7, end of story."
"Why not just get sunscreen?"
"Have you ever driven a two-stroke car without an oil injector?"
"A few times."
"Well, the mixture gets expensive after a while."
He looked at me blankly, "Can you elaborate?"
"In two-stroke cars, you have to mix oil with the gas, assuming they have no injector of their own. Now, oil tends to be expensive over time, whereas the gasoline, is just gasoline. Now, replace the oil with the sunscreen and the gas with a vampire. Neither the gas or vampire has a problem on coexisting with the other, oil or sun lotion, but it gets more expensive than it's worth in my opinion, especially when I can just get something charmed that I already wear every living second of my life."
"I have never had a student think like you before," he said with a smile.
"Well that, and I can't ever get it to work."
"More power to you."
"'at's it!"
He looked at the clock, "And just in time for your lunch, too. Would it be fine if I joined you?"
"Go right ahead."
"Fridays, they have steak in the cafeteria. Good ones," he said, leading Nightshine and myself out of the room.
We were glad everyone here was nice enough to help us whenever we needed, otherwise we wouldn't have found the lunchroom.
When we were at the head of the line, a yellow tree spirit with orange hair greeted us behind the counter.
"I'm Pear Butter. What'll y'all have?"
"I was told you have steak today."
"How do you want it cooked?"
"Raw."
She looked over the counter, "And what'll you have, little'ne?"
"That?"
Discord went and fixed his plate and took a bottle of soda before leaving.
"Anything else, you two?"
Nightshine and I looked at each other, and agreed that we didn't need anything else, well maybe another to go with the first one.
"I'll be back out in a jiffy."
Once she was back getting the bloody slabs of meat, Nightshine looked at me, "Me, I can understand."
"What? We're vampires. We don't get fat, we burn in the Sun. Besides, all of the flying made me hungry. Plus I skipped breakfast."
He facehooved.
"Is he okay?" she said, setting two plates down.
"I may have destroyed his logic for a few minutes."
"Y'all are free ta go," she said, pointing to the end of the line, "Drinks are over there. Blood, soda, water, milk, sweet tea, there's a whole variety."
"Thank you," I said, grabbing my plate while Nightshine balanced his on his back.
When we got to the drinks, I was astonished at what all there was, Nightshine no less.
"A+?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said as I opened the cooler and got out a few cans, two for each of us.
"I got it, Shiny."
When we made it back to the main office, Principal Celestia sure had taken the meaning of "Good First Impression" to a new level, throwing Nightshine and myself off. What was more, Vice-Principal Luna was helping.
"Expecting anyone other than us?" Nightshine asked.
"No, not really," she said, "I just wanted you two to feel welcome."
"Well, I definately see where the 'Angel' comes in at."
Nightshine and I shared a high-five as Discord walked in behind us with Chrysalis.
"Do you have to go into full-queen-mode whenever someone comes by?"
"I'm just trying to show some hospitality."
"I wish she'd turn the 'hospitality' down a hundred notches. I can almost feel my skin cooking."
"Have this," I said, "It was made and charmed before digital watches were invented. I think it was made November 5, 1955. The watch was charmed in 1985, but a bit stronger than the ring."
"Why does that date sound familiar?" she replied, sliding it on and finding relief, "But yes, Celestia, please turn the Sun in here down."
After she dimmed the room, we all had lunch and discussed how I would transfer to Canterlot City High from a school that was essentially run by the friggin' church.
I'm the worst of all of the idiots. Worse yet, I won't actually die unless I do one of VERY few things.
Author's Note
This whole chapter takes place November 7, 1955 at about 8:00 in the morning.
Chapter 9
As I landed in front of the school, I readied myself for the shit I'd have to put up with today.
"Here goes nothing."
I walked in, proudly showing my wings, (my pride and joy), and began to walk to class.
"Excuse me!" a teacher said, (I couldn't remember his name, nor did I care to), "Excuse me, Midnight Fang, you are NOT to wear jewelry!"
"It's 1955, get the hell over it," I said, walking to class, "And I made this ring myself!"
I went into the classroom, sat down, and waited for the lesson to begin before being pulled out a minute later by the wrist.
"Now, when I say to take the fucking ring off, you take. The fucking. Ring. Off!"
"No," I replied, balling my left hand in a fist, "I'm keeping it."
"Give it!" he replied grabbing at my hand.
"Let go," I said, rather annoyed as I lashed him with my wing, "Bye."
Leaving the school, I felt content with myself, so I flew over to Canterlot City. More specifically, to Sunburst's little hole-in-the-wall.
"Hey, Sunny," I said, walking inside the seemingly empty shop, "Things still slow?"
"Yeah," he said, "But a woman is supposed to be coming by later with a lot for me to enchant. How's school?"
"How do you think they took to me wearing the ring?"
"That's why I don't go to church."
"Same here, brother," I replied, sitting down, "Same here."
We were both at a loss for a minute, "Well, I missed breakfast, so wanna run out and get something?"
"There's this new place called Chiffon's Café."
"Oh yeah, I think I heard about that place. Didn't it open last week?"
"Probably. Wanna check it out?"
He looked around his shop one more time, "Sure. She won't be here until this afternoon, anyway."
I noticed that he had decided to step into the realm of immortality as we made it to the other side of the block, so I figured I'd ask him about it.
When we went in, we sat at a booth next to a window, where a waitress came and took our order.
"What can I get you two?" she asked.
"Blood, A positive," I said.
"Nether milkshake."
"Okay, I'll be right back."
"So," I said after the woman left, "You decided to step into the realm of immortality?"
His eyes darted to both sides until he saw a twenty-two-year-old girl with purple hair and aqua highlights at the bar, "Yeah," he replied, sounding lovesick.
"Hello?" I said after a minute, "Earth to Sunburst?"
"Don't look, she's turning this way!" he said, snapping around as I did the same.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that she was a vampire.
"Don't get cold feet yet, Sun," I said, going over to her.
"Do- what are you- d'oh!" he said, head going on the table with that last one.
"Hey," I said, taking a seat next to her.
"Hi," she replied, looking at me.
"I was wondering if you've ever met a friend of mine, Sunburst?"
"I've seen him in town."
"He may have something for you."
"Listen," she said, setting her glass down, "It's not that I don't love him. It's that he'll get old and die. I've been through this same thing several times, I'm a hundreds-of-years-old vampire. The love game was good while it lasted, but it's just lost it for me."
"Well, would you be willing to give it one last shot before you completely call it quits?"
"Maybe if I see him later, I'll keep the offer in mind."
"He works that shop at the other end of the block."
"I'll stop by there later in the week, then."
"Alright," I said, going back to our booth.
"Good news," I said, sitting back down in front of my drink.
"You ruined my chances?"
"She'll be by later this week."
Sunburst shot up and went pale.
"This week? What'll I say? What'll Ido !?"
"Calm down," I said, "If you want me to be there at your shop, I'll just come by there this week and give the people at Everfree School a break."
"Okay," he said, calming down, "But should I do anything special?"
"As far as she knows you don't have any idea that she'll be coming by. Just do what you always do," I said before drinking a good third of my drink, "That's good."
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. As I ran to meet up with Vice-Principal Luna, she said something rather unexpected to me.
"So you're out of retirement, eh?" she said, very casually.
"What!?"
"Christmas of 1965, Cafe Canterlot. You were in the middle of the bar, everyone gathered around, two idiots stabbing at themselves with knives just to show off, remember?"
"Were you in the crowd?" I replied, slightly confused.
"Actually, I was Blade Bishop."
"Holy fuckamoly," I said at that revelation, "After our race, I'm gonna help Raven Dusk with some potions. I think she just mislabels everything."
"Don't die," she said, giving my ring back to me before starting to her car, "Need a ride?"
"I live in the Everfree district, so I'd have to drive."
"Hey, my sister and I have a second apartment from the early 70s. It's here in town if you want to move."
"Let's work on that tonight if Celestia's up for it."
"Alright," she said as we walked to her car and I drove the longer-than-comfortable distance to my house.
When we were there, I just parked in the street and showed Luna the house.
"So this is it," I said.
She seemed unimpressed, "Yeah, in the city would probably be better."
"I get terrible service here if you want to use the landline."
"Alright," she said, going over to the phone while I went into my room and changed clothes.
By the time I came back out, she had some kind of news.
"So I talked with Celestia," she said, "And she's okay with you two staying in the second apartment."
"That being said," I looked around and grabbed a set of keys (three said Yugo , one had a blank keyhead, and the other had a Š on the keyhead) and my phone before going out to my Škoda and starting it up, "Lead the way."
After another substantially-long drive, we were at the track.
"Our next race is between a '99 Civic and... well I know it's something from the 80s, but I don't know what," the announcer said.
"It's a Škoda," I said to myself, doing a burnout, "130 LR."
"Is that blood on that guy's car?" an announcer said, noticing the translucent deep-crimson paint on my windows and body.
Who the hell cares about Soviet aesthetics when you find crimson and dark-midnight paint. And blood from more than a few fights in the mid 2000s.
When the countdown started, I revved the car
"GO!"
I immediately started, shifting through the gears like no tomorrow.
"Good thing this baby loves this shit, Nightshine!" I said as the car hit 80 miles per hour at ten seconds in and quickly going up.
"Yeah! One thing though!"
"Luna's winning? Yeah, I can kinda see that! Wait until this baby hits 175!"
"What?" he replied as the needle on the speedometer glided past 120 MPH.
A few seconds later, we had taken the lead by about two inches. From the corner of my eye, I could see Luna briefly flip me off, so I returned the gesture as I crossed the finish line, shifted to neutral, slammed on the brakes, and turned sharp enough to get a 270 through oversteer.
"That was good, wasn't it, Nightshine?" I asked as he opened his door and started puking his guts out.
I just leaned back in the seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other on the shifter, head back, and laughing a little at the whole situation.
A minute later, he was through vomiting so Luna and I left the track.
"You okay now?" I asked, shutting off the car at the parking lot.
"You know how to drive, right?"
"Yeah, and I also know how to race. Reach in the back, there may be something."
After finding a can of soda that had to be a decade old, he punctured it with his fang and drank it, then we got out and met up with Luna, Celestia, and Chrysalis and Discord.
"Some of the paint on my car," I said, "is actually blood, just if you were wondering."
"I stopped at 120," Luna said, "How fast were you going?"
"A hundred seventy, hoping I could get it to 175. I had a guy screw around with it so it could do better in races."
Nightshine fell over, "I'll take him home," Celestia said carrying him off.
"You win this time," Luna said to me.
"I just do better in rear-wheel drive vehicles. Not to mention the entire engine in that thing is in the back of the car."
"Could I use it to win a few bets?"
"Keys are in the ignition," I said as she gave me her keys and we swapped vehicles.
As I was coming to the exit, I remembered that I had promised someone something. Raven... Twilight, maybe? Either way, I remembered her when I saw her leaving the stands.
"Shit," I said, getting out and running to her, "Sorry, I forgot!"
She saw me running over to her and evidently tried to meet me halfway, but it ended up with both of us being knocked flat on our asses.
"Why are you in Vice-Principal Luna's car?"
"I take it you come here often."
"Yeah."
"Anyway, after our race, Nightshine is going home with Celestia and Luna's borrowing my car to rake in cash."
We both started walking over to her car, "Ah, so you still up for the potion thing?"
"Yeah, I just can't be at it for too long. I gave her my number so when she calls, I have to get over to my house. She helped me find something in the city, AWAY from the Everfree district."
"Ah, is it nice?"
"Mid-70s apartment, I think, but after we move my junk into it, it'll probably be 80s to mid-90s style."
When we got to the car, I drove and she gave me directions to her place, literally a few miles away from the track. When I pulled into her driveway and went into her house, I could tell why she had a problem with labels.
"Okay, where's the one from earlier?"
She reached into her bag, smelled of a few, then handed me the one from earlier, "Okay, this is for wings," I said, looking up to her, "Spread 'em," she opened them to reveal a pair of Pegasus wings, "This is for Pegasus wings," I said, giving her back the bottle.
"Alright," she said, changing the label to read ფეგასუს ვინგს .
"Oh, one more thing before we start," I said, getting her attention as she set several bottles down, some labeled, some non, "Could you teach me witchscript some time?"
"Sure," she said as I followed her into the kitchen, where she opened a cabinet of unlabeled bottles, smelled one, and said, "Cucumber water! Salty-sweet cucumber water!" as she closed the cabinet, and turned to face me like a deer in headlights, "Don't-"
"Think your badshit crazy? No," I said as she labeled the bottle ფოთიონ ნეუთრალიზათიონ .
"This one I know flushes a potion's effect from your system," she looked at me, "You don't already have any, considering you're a vampire, right?"
"Not since late 1955 when I had my ring charmed. I used to go and get one so I wouldn't burn in daylight, then a few years after I met Sunburst and we became friends, he put a charm on my ring, then until sometime in 1983 when I got my watch, he put the exact same charm on it, and I've worn it literally constantly as-" she started pulling heavy curtain panels over the open windows, darkening the room, "What are you doing?" I said after a minute when she was pulling the last one closed, completely darkening the room.
"You'll need to take them off," she said, fumbling to the light switch, "I don't know how charms will react to these if you're wearing them at the same time we do this."
"Colder."
"What?"
"Vampires have, in one group of terms, night vision?"
"Why, exactly?"
I took off my glasses, shot my fangs out, turned my eyes red, opened my wings, and began walking over to her, "So when it gets dark," she looked in my direction, seeing the vampire in me come out, "We can see where our next meal is."
"Please don't!"
"Oh, but I will," I said, eyes now glowing crimson as I forced the panicking girl against the wall, next to a light switch, six inches off of the floor, "And this was all..." I moved to her neck.
"Please, I'll do anything!"
"Just..." I moved to her neck.
"No! Let me go, I'm begging you!"
"For my lunch," I whispered in her ear, hearing her heart rate shoot up to an almost ungodly amount.
"ANYTHING!!!"
I pulled my fangs back and bit her with my front teeth so I wouldn't puncture the skin before letting her go, "Ahright," I said, turning on the light, "You can live."
"What...!?" she said, several shades paler, "What... was that about!?"
"It was funny," I said, trading my glasses for my watch and ring.
She thought on it a little, "In a twisted way!"
"My point stands."
"You don't-"
"Not unless someone tries to kill me," I said, "Two idiots in 1934 or 1935 put themselves to a bet, I left them for dead in the end."
"I did the same thing with a potion when someone from the Everfree district came at me with a cross, knife, and a noose."
"We'll be good friends," I said, helping her up after she got her color back, "Now we need to start labeling your work."
"Yeah," she said as we went through the process of turning into various creatures, feeling bloated, having to breath water, and me set in a bathtub full of ice for a little bit, just to name a few. Altogether, we were at it for an hour and a half before Luna called.
"Hey, I'm leaving to go to your place now."
"Ahright, I'll be there in a bit."
"Bye."
"Hey," Raven said as I was getting ready to leave, "Before you leave, can I come and help?"
"Sure."
"Also, we should do that in Everfree."
"It'll take a week to get moved out and the house back to the Central Committee, so definitely ," I said, grinning as we walked out the door.

"Hey," Raven said as I pulled the car to a stop and saw Luna on the doorstep, "That thing earlier, I kind of enjoyed that."
"Which one," I replied, "Your heart almost exploding or the potions, might I add the weirder ones in."
She looked at me as I shut the car off, "I make those because I can . And I like weird things sometimes."
"How would you like to spend the night with me?"
"Sure."
We got out and went to the door.
"Let me guess," she said, "Helping her with potions?" I pushed a breath out of my nose, bringing a little fire with it, "Yeah, I have my answer."
"Move so I can unlock the door."
I opened the door, letting Luna and Raven in, then we began putting my stuff in the cars.
"Before we do anything," I said, "My Yugo has no power behind it when it comes to this type of thing."
"Meaning," Luna said.
"Just me in it, it takes a third of a friggin' minute to make it to highway speeds," I looked around her, "Plus, I'm sure we ain't fitting a lot of big stuff in it at a time, anyway."
"How long for the other to get to sixty?" Raven said.
"Ridiculously quick, it was upped from 130 horsepower."
"Yeah, the force pushed me against the seat until I got the hang of it," Luna commented, taking my futon to the Škoda, folding down the back seats, and putting it in, "Show me your guy."
"Will do," I replied, taking the mattress off and setting it back in the living room floor, "I will need to keep a few things here until I'm settled in your other place."
"True," she said as I went to get my desk setup and gaming PC, moving them to my Yugo, then going back and setting up a computer that I cobbled together from spare parts in 2000 in its place, "The desk has to stay here. Evidently, it's part of the house."
"Wait," Luna said, coming into the bedroom and looking at the beige box that said PIONEX under the desk, "You built that?"
"I got my hands on some RISC components so I could see what I could do, and what came out was a computer that would've at the time, had you got it from the store like a regular one, ran a little over $2,300. All-in-all, this setup ran a little under $275, plus I didn't use Windows," I said, "Come to think of it, I don't quite remember what I put on it."
"Can it run Doom 3D ?"
"Probably."
We finished loading the cars, then followed Luna into Canterlot.
"I'm already going to like this more," I mused to myself as I followed her into a parking lot, Raven behind me.
"It's on the fourth floor," she said as we took stuff to the freight elevator.
Moving the stuff into the apartment wasn't hard, but we had to stretch it out so I could get my house back to the Everfree Central Committee.
The apartment had two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open-concept kitchen/living room, separated by a rectangular doorway. The place in-and-of itself was rather basic, and it looked as if the only room they had used in the last decade was the kitchen and maybe one of the bedrooms because there was a laptop and gaming hub on the counter with a cable coming from each of its sockets, all being of different colors, and a card table, and the bedroom had a group of large pillows on the floor with an alarm clock plugged into the wall a few feet away. There was also a TV and DVD player in the living room with enough discs to fill a console, most titles being animé and TV shows that I hadn't heard of in ages.
"Yeah, Celestia hasn't really came here since we moved to our house in the late 90s, but sometimes I still come and have a night to myself or call a few of my friends over here to pwn online gamers or just have a night," she said as we sat the stuff down in the living room, "I've got our basement now, though."
"Now I have a few ideas."
"'ey," she said, getting a can of beer from the refridgerator and leaning against a wall, "Least it's goin' to someone cool. Usually when something like this happens, it's over a bloody fight," she opened the can and drank it in one go, "Eh, I got a lot in my basement, so I'll letchya keep some stuff.
"You don't happen to have all of the animé on hard drives or a server at your place, do you?"
"Keep the whole setup if you want it," she said, closing the laptop and putting it in a drawer, "Pretty sure we both have better than a 24-inch TV and God-knows-how -many-DVDs."
"Thanks," I said as we all left, Raven coming back with me to my place for the night.
There was only so much decorating I could do to make the house not feel like something with a traditional style, and the lack of an open floorplan didn't help.
"What was their problem?" Raven said as I locked the door behind us.
"I'm a vampire, you're a witch, they won't get over it."
The house seemed bare.
The living room now consisted of the TV and mattress from the couch. The kitchen only held the few appliances that I would use on a regular basis, most of which would end up leaving with me. The bedroom consisted of a plastic tub of clothes, my phone charger, a desk with a computer, and the mattress from the bed.
"I do not have very many things," I said as Raven began to strip naked.
"How about we get started, Batboy?"
"I would love that," I replied, turning the lights onto a dim setting, "Lemmie close the curtains," I said, going and pulling the heavy panels over the windows.
Raven was now in her underwear and bra, looking at me seductively.
"You wanna make this a fun night, don't you?"
"Yeah," she said, sitting on the mattress as she began to take off what remaining clothes she had on, "Now, I wanna see what you can do."
Stripping naked, I went over to her, sat down, and kissed her passionately, then we stripped completely naked.
"You know, you may be my favorite girl yet," I said, bearing my fangs, "Too bad you'll have to grow old and die."
"Who said anything about me having to age?"
"Oh-ho," I said, turning her around, putting my head on her shoulder, and began to play with her breasts, "You love me, don't you?"
"I really do," she said, reaching around and playing with my little friend, "But I don't know how to show it to you."
"Don't worry," I said, wrapping my legs around her, "We can figure it out on our own."
"I wanna see where we go," she said, opening her wings, "They're a bit tense."
I laid on my back and smiled, "Get on."
She got on me, so I started massaging her wings, causing her to blush, pant, and hold her juices in.
"K... kee... keep g... go...i...ng..." she said, her womanhood tensing up.
I massaged her more intensely and sped up, "Are you relaxed now?"
"N... ngh..." was all she got out before biting her lip and furiously shaking her head.
"Harder?"
She began quickly panting, and nodded her head quickly, so I went faster and more intense again as I felt myself get hard and began to fill, causing me to blush a little and begin panting.
"I l... I like m...my women... strong," I said before I began to nip at her wings and rendered myself speechless.
"I...t's... h... Imgonnablow !"
I began to play with her breasts with one hand, which also felt considerably firmer than the other girls I had slept with in the past.
"Y... yo...r'e turned... on..., a...aren't you?"
"MHM! "
I began to suck out of one of her breasts, which opened both of our floodgates.
"Oh yes!!" she said, filling her hole with me.
"I... I think... I like... my witches... like me," I said while I was relieving myself of my fluids.
"Huh?"
When the juices stopped, I turned her over on her back, holding her down as I massaged her once again, causing her to show signs of another climax.
"Join me," I said, ready for round two.
"Oh, no , she said as I did a love bite on her neck, "Don't let me die!"
"I won't," I said, feeling another climax on its way.
I began to suck from the tiny bite, turning both of us on even more.
My legs were becoming weak, and Raven was leaking on the mattress from her breasts and kahuna, so I decided to squirm on her to push us both to the breaking point again.
"I... I'm g... go...nna... I'm... gonna... I'm gonna...!" she said, breathing heavily.
"Yes?" I said, going back inside of her, an easier task with how lubed up we were.
"H... oh God !!" she said, forcing me to her for another kiss as we had our orgasm on each other, "I don't want this to stop!" she said as she began massaging my spine and wings, making me as weak as she was.
Within a minute, I was exploding inside of her again.
"Raven, you fucking-awesome witch!" I said as she rolled us over, putting me back on the bottom, still massaging my wings and spine.
"I've... I've had... my fair share... of guys... too, ya know."
"Wh... what ma...gic... do you work?"
"The beeeess- oh shit!!!!! " she said as I moved on her G-spot a little, causing her to cum again.
"Not... not so fun... huh?"
"Yes! "
"Glaaadd!!! "
I felt my wings' best spot get rubbed, making me lose it completely inside of her.
"Now," she said a few minutes later, "What can a strong vampire like you do?"
"Anything for someone as sexy as you," I replied, getting up.
"Make me helpless, and make me hurt."
"You got it," I said, picking her up by the throat and slamming her into a wall, "Like it?"
"...More..." she said, oozing again.
"Could I tear you?"
She snapped at me, "Do it! Do it now !!!"
I went back inside of her and moved around too much until I felt something coming from her lower front that shouldn't be there.
She replied by biting a chunk of my arm off, turning me on to her even more.
"This... is... the best ... sex... EVER !!!" she said as our lower halves were beginning to become covered in her blood.
She picked me up, threw me over the counter, got up on it herself, then jumped on me as if she were trying to break my back.
Not that it would do any lasting damage, or anything severe for that matter. I was, and still am, a vampire, after all.
"I like my sex to be hard-fucking-core !" she said, biting my wing, causing me to leak all on the kitchen floor.
"Then... en... en...joy... this !" I said, grabbing her torn pussy, running my fingers up it and massaging it, ripping it more in the process.
"OH JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!! she said, a decent-sized puddle of blood and cum forming on the floor as she collapsed to her knees in it, "YES, GODDAMMIT!!!!! " she said before giving me the blowjob of my life, again, causing me to explode in her mouth, "Mmm, tht's good," she said, sucking and licking it as I began squeezing her insides for a few moments, then pulled out after she had almost completely lost control of her legs.
She must've drank a regeneration potion and a strength potion for her to have taken me around the world like that and been able to took what I did to her.
"Being a witch has its perks," she said, coming up and swallowing the last of my love juices as my bites from her began to heal.
"What do you wanna do now?" I said as she laid her head on me.
"Of the sixteen guys and four girls that I've had sex with, you're the best."
"I've done it with hundreds of people, but we never made it this far most times. And on the times we did, it would only be like a quickie or something like that."
"Let's watch a movie while we rest and get ready for round two."
"Agreed," I replied as we forced a kiss on each other and tried to get to the TV.
"Pick anything you want," I said, turning it on and opening the Netflix app.
I quickly learned that she likes violence, action, and gore when she selected The Compass .
"This... is my favorite," she said as the movie started.
All in all, it was a good movie. The rest of the night consisted of hot, sweaty, violent, messy, bloody sex with the occasional movie break.
And she was badass.

Yeah... they're both really kinky...
As I was walking home one day, I saw a box with several holes punched in the top, seemingly tossed on the sidewalk.
Normally, I wouldn't have thought anything of it, but when I heard something moving around in there, I just had to take a look.
"Sweet Lord," I said, looking at its eyes and features.
I had wanted a pet for so long, but none of them appealed to me.
They just weren't for me. Of course, of all the people, you had humans and people who weren't humans
"Look at you," I said.
"You mean, you're not scared of me?" he said.
"No," I replied, showing him my fangs and picking him up, "Who'd throw such a cute little pony out on the streets like this?"
"Someone who hates vampires, ponies, or both."
"I bet you're thirsty, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Well," I replied, setting him down and pulling a bottle of blood from my bag, "I was saving this for me, but you need it more," I gave it to him, "What's your name?"
"I don't have one," he said, drinking the remainder of what was in the bottle.
"You don't- You look like a Nightshine."
"Who are you?"
"Midnight Fang."
"So, I get to live with you?"
"A vampire needs a vampire pet," I replied, picking him back up and carrying him to my house.
In Midnight's house, there was an uneasy air.
"So, you like the color blue?"
"How could you tell," I replied, setting him down on the couch.
"Well, your hair is blue, your glasses are dyed blue, you're wearing blue and black clothes, and everything here has something blue about it."
"Most thestrals are colorblind. I guess I got lucky."
"You know, I'm hungry."
"I'll fix that for the both of us. You just sit and watch some TV."
