Of Vampires and Werewolves
Chapter 8 (Rewritten)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe two ponies had just finished moving the last bit of stuff into the newly rented storage space. "Whelp! That's the last of it!" Vinyl announced, letting the magic glow around her horn fade after moving in the last bit of furniture. "Thank Celestia! I'm beat!" Octavia respond, flopping over onto the wall. "You're beat? I'm the one who did all the heavy lifting!" Vinyl chuckled after saying this, "Ah doesn't matter, the job's done and I want to head back home. Oh by the way... I forgot to mention this earlier but there's only one bed and the couch is a bit... worn." Octavia waved her hoof, "It's fine, an old couch is better than the floor."
"It's snapped in half and two of the three cushions are incinerated, the third is covered in spilled soda and mold. I really don't think you want to sleep on that couch." Octavia just blinked. "I should say so, but if you wouldn't mind me asking, how did that happen?" Vinyl rubbed the back her neck. "A spider..." Octavia burst out laughing. "Whatever, let's just get going."
Upon arriving at the house Octavia marveled at how big it was. "You never told me you lived in a Mansion!" Vinyl chuckled. "Well now you know. Come on, let's get inside, it's freezing out here." With that the duo walked through the open cast iron gate up to the front door and entered the mansion. Well it's more of a manor but same difference, right?
"Still getting unpacked, I moved in a couple of days ago. I do have more than one couch but I'm not sure where it is and the other one is getting thrown out tomorrow. I do only have one bed though, for now at least. I suppose we'll have to share a bed until we can dig up a couch. I hope that isn't a problem." Octavia blushed and mumbled something, Vinyl of course decided that Octavia had just said something like 'I suppose not' and clapped her hooves together. "Well alright then! This way to the bedroom!"
It was an odd thing sleeping in the same bed as your boss. It wasn't as bad as Octavia had originally though it would be and she actually slept quite well despite the fact there was another mare with her. Luckily today was a Saturday and Saturdays meant no work. The two house mates now decided it was time to get breakfast. Octavia hadn't gone werewolf for a while so she decided it was best if she just ran out back and ate a bunny or something. As for Vinyl, she decided that she wanted to have Bagels for breakfast, leaving Octavia back at the manor to go chase helpless little animals around and feast on their intestines.
It took about about 15 minutes to the bagel shop, it was totally worth it though and Vinyl got herself a pumpkin spice latte and a slice of pumpkin bread along with a pumpkin flavored bagel. She loved pumpkins. Upon looking around she noticed a group of three mares. One was a mint green unicorn, another was an earth pony with a candy for her cutie mark, and the third was a orange mare with green eyes, both of which were wide as saucers and staring straight at Vinyl. "You're that one mare who's been walking around with Octavia!"
Dear Celestia help me... "Oh so that's the pony you were talking about! I think I recognize her from somewhere..." The second pony replied. "Well of course you do, Bon Bon! That's the club pony, what was she called again? Hmm..." The first mare said. "Are you sure? The club pony always wears glasses and I'm pretty sure she didn't have eyes like that. Shit! My glasses! With that Vinyl Scratch bolted out the door to get her glasses as fast as she could, leaving her half eaten bagel behind.
"So that's why you wear glasses all the time! I suppose I sort of understand your reasoning but seriously? Those eyes are beautiful!" Octavia exclaimed. "I'm freaking albino Tavi! I don't really like shouting that out to the whole world either. I suppose it's okay for you to know but for the rest of the world? The answer is a dead no." Octavia huffed. "Fine, but since I know now I'd like it if you didn't wear them just in the house at least." Vinyl rolled her eyes at that then nodded. "I suppose but only in the house. Okay?" Octavia nodded, "Okay. Let's go find that couch then."
