Twilight stood still as a statue. “She’s behind me isn’t she?” Twilight asked. Winter walked up to the table and put a hoof on the table.

“Twilight, do I have red eyes?” Winter asked Twilight sat down in the chair.

“No, but-“

“Am I getting sick over this?” Winter held up an entire head of garlic and waved it in front of her own face. She put the garlic down.

“Well, no-“

“Am I getting sick over this?” Winter put on a silver necklace, took it off, and then put it on the ground with the garlic. “I’m not the vampony. Can you-“ Winter sighed. “Sorry, that wasn’t nice of me. Um I’m still a bit mad over an incident with the narrator. We should find the vampony.” Twilight nodded.

“We could say to the ponies that we are trying to find a vampony and we need to do a mandatory check of everyone, but we only need to do one test.” Twilight said and Fluttershy nodded.

Suddenly, the blue hat wearing Pegasus, the white cat Pegasus and A navy blue thestral walked up to the group. The blue Pegasus looked at Emerald, then to the rest of the group

“So, you are actually serious about this?” Asked the blue Pegasus. “Well then.” The blue Pegasus opened her mouth to reveal... what a shocker! No fangs! “Yeah ima normal Pegasus I gotta find more clouds because Tiger over there got rid of them all. We are gonna have a doozy of a storm sometime soon just warning you.” Said the blue Pegasus. She flew off into the distance, presumably chasing a cloud. The white cat Pegasus was next.

“So... since I’m part cat I have fangs...” the cat Pegasus said.

“It’s all good. Here, hold this.” Winter said as she held out the silver necklace from earlier. The cat Pegasus held it for a while.

“Am I a vampony?” Asked the cat Pegasus. Winter shook her head and took back the silver necklace. “I gotta help Crystal, those clouds won’t fetch themselves.” And with that the cat Pegasus flew after Crystal. Twilight spoke up.

“Now for Fluffernutter and Blue.” Twilight stated. Winter plopped the necklace on Fluffernutter’s head and waved the garlic around in Blue Raspberry’s face. Fluffernutter derped when the metal landed on her head, and Blue flinched as if Winter was gonna punch her. Winter took back the items.

“Hmm... neither of them... Ok, Bass Blast." The silver necklace was plopped on her head and yet again, the pony derped. The necklace was removed from the Navy blue thestral and given to Twilight. “Well Twi, you might wanna hide. You have...” Winter looks at a clock that wasn’t there before. “Ten seconds.” Winter flew into the sky.

“Ten seconds?” Twilight asked Emerald. Emerald shrugged.

“I learned to just go with it.” Emerald answered. Suddenly, Fluttershy meeped. She pointed at the distance. There, flying towards the town, was a large, feral, adolescent dragon. It roared menacingly at the town, and made direct eye contact with Twilight.

“Aaaugh!” Twilight cried. “A feral dragon! It will destroy the town!” Fluttershy hid behind Twilight. “If I get to it first, I can vanquish-“ Twilight stopped.

Suddenly, a blue speck appeared in front of the giant dragon. Autumn hopped on Emerald’s head with an excited look on her face. The camera moved to and zoomed in on the blue speck. The blue speck was no other than Winter, the changeling. There was a charging sound as a ball of energy formed in Winter’s mouth, and dragon readied a fire blast to fry the puny little bug hovering in its way. The dragon loosed its fiery blast, catching the bug horse full on. Fluttershy fainted and Twilight gasped. Winter... gone. Just like that.

“Crud. Just like that... Gone... Poor Winter...” Twilight said sadly, but Emerald shrugged.

“Ehh. She’s fine. She’s gotten hit by worse.” Emerald said flatly. Now, a crowd had gathered around the four. They all watched the dragon. The dragon had a snobby look in it’s eyes and it roared triumphantly. Fluttershy got up and whimpered.

ITS OVER

“Winter..? You should have yeeted this overgrown lizard already... are you actually... gone?” Emerald said to himself. He looked down, tearing up.

ITS NOT OVER

Suddenly, Winter appeared above the triumphant feral dragon’s head. She spat out an orb of blue magic and kicked it hard to make impact with the dragon's head.

"Get nae naed!"

The orb lands on and blasts the dragon's head into the ground. The giant feral dragon gets up, rubs his head, and flies away.

The townsfolk cheered. It was a good day, until... A bell rang. It sounded off eight times. This halted the cheering and started the panicking. Creatures rushed to and fro as they gathered up stands and materials. Soon, doors were locked with silver and garlic, and the only creatures on the fire worn cobble street were the two mares, a lil green dragon, and a jackalope, with a blue and white changeling flying towards them.

Fluttershy looked around nervously. She tapped Twilight's shoulder. "Twi?"

"WINTER! Are you okay? I saw you get destroyed by dragon fire!" Twilight said.

"Twi."

"I was so worried, you usually defeat them faster!" Emerald said.

"Twi."

Winter placed a hoof over both Emerald's mouth and Twilight's.

"Twilight, listen and look." Fluttershy pointed at a hooded hooded figure in a very far off shaded alleyway, bent over another figure that was laying on the ground. They could hear muffled crying and the sound of drinking. It was the vampony. Twilight was about to shout, but a silver laced wood stake wrapped in garlic was chucked like a spear at the vampony. Citrus let out a blood curdling war cry as she threw another stake at the vampony. The vampony jumped up out of the way and ran, blood spraying from a wound on the pony on the ground. The pony on the ground was now revealed to be a blue mare with a white and black mane. She had a heart shaped mint leaf with a mint candy in front of it for a Cutie Mark and looked dangerously close to death. Citrus ran to the half dead mare and angrily glared at the possible corpse.

"SpadeMint, so help me if you *bleeeep* die, ima tell your sister you leaped into the vampony's evil jaws!" Said Citrus Burst angrily. Suddenly, a large brance came flying at the near dead pony. "Oh no yah don't!" Citrus shouted. She jumped up to catch the branch like a dog and she successfully caught it. Unfortunately, the branch's speed pushed back the fruit farming mare well over sixty nine yards away. The vampony took the opportunity to run to the dying pony and they lapped up all the leaked blood. As this was happening, Citrus was getting up and sprinting towards the vampony and the corpse. She was too late however, because the vampony had taken one last large slurp after pushing on where the heart goes on the corpse. The vampony stood up and looked at the bloodless corpse.

"I'm a monster... if only I could have stopped myself... but the hunger... these ponies... they would still be alive... I really messed up this time..." the vampony said to nobody in particular. They ran off into the black of night , with an angry Citrus chasing them from far behind and Twilight, Fluttershy, Emerald, Autumn, and Winter staring at them from afar in fear.

Author's Note

Who do you think did it? I plotted for a while thinking I would reveal the vampony in this chapter, but nah.
