Dead Equestria

“Quick! We gotta go!”

“But what about her!?”

“Abandon her, it's your fault why she's in that state!”

Three griffons immediately left a fatally injured purple unicorn mare and her cart. The mare also had purple mane and tal and has crimson eyes, on her flank is a cutie mark of a compass with a sack. Her name is Golden Trade, a wandering trader. She was laying on her side in a path, bleeding profusely from her neck. She was one her way to a town when she was attacked by the band of griffons and rob of her products, one of them who hold was threatening to stab her with a machete accidentally slashed her neck, forcing the griffons to leave her, knowing she wouldn't survive her injuries.

They are half-wrong.

Her pet dog, Losty had been hiding under the cart. When he heard the griffons leaving, he went out of his hiding place to find his master, only to find her dying in agony. He slowly approached her, he made eye contact with Golden's tearful eyes.

“L-Losty...” Golden managed to utter his name despite the pain she felt. She wanted to say something to her dog, knowing this was the last moments of her life “I.... Love you... Go find a new master.... F-For i'm going to enternal sleep” she finally closed her eyes, one tear manage to go out of her left eye.

Losty whimpered and nuzzle his dead master's muzzle. No one or pony loves him more than her, she have taken good care of him and treated him like her family. Now, he must do something to bring her back as a thank you for all what she has done to him.

6 years ago, he was given a gift during when he was attacked by an animal, his owner saved him from that animal and gave it a proper burial. The animal had a strange appearance and it closely resembles the corpse of a snake. However, when he was bitten by it, he didn't die, but something went inside his system, infecting all of his blood cells in just one day. He considered this a gift, for he gained a few new abilities, one most that he couldn't secret from his master is that he can't be killed.

He's gonna use this gift to get his master back.

Open his mouth and put his cautiously pierced the skin of his master's neck, letting out a few blood as the gift flow into his master's body.

He seperated himself from his master, knowing the gift is now in the process of reviving her.

Master's coming back

The limp and unmoving body of Golden began to twitch, mostly her hind legs. This was good news for her pet, for he knew she was stirring up from her sleep. Golden slowly opened her eyes, revealing her crimson red eyes, she let out a moan.

“L...Losty?” she called her pet in a whispered tone. Losty reacted by happily wiggling his tail barking at her. He jumped at her, playfully licking her cheeks. “Ah! Okay, okay boy!” she used her magic to seperate him from her and placing him down on the path. She slowly stood up on her legs. She look back at Losty, giving him a smile “Come on, let's go”

“Losty, do you have any idea how I got this injuries?”

They are just 1 miles away from their destination when Golden decided to look at herself on a pond, revealing her disheveled and bloody appearance. Golden looks at Losty, who cock his head at her. She gaze back at the water.

“It's funny, I didn't even feel anything. With all of blood, I would have also bled to death by now” she put a hoof at the spot where Losty bit her and frowned “and is this a bite mark?” she turn her head at her pet “Losty, did you bit me?”

He didn't say anything.

Sighing, she went back to look at her reflection, noting the blood coming from her forelegs just below her horn which ran down to her muzzle and to her mouth, she also found a grisly wound on her side with a lot of blood flowing out.

“This is... too much, and I have not enough money to pay the hospital. Oh, Golden Trade, you got this, you just need to think how to conceal this!” she looks at her cart “maybe I should use one of the dresses” she went to her cart, only to find a few dresses “What in the- Where are my other merchandise!?” she glanced at her pet, only to see Losty clocking her head. Golden groaned in frustration “dang it! Atleast there a few left and I cast my pouch with an illusion spell” she levitate out a stone with her magic and uncast the spell and the stone turns into a lavender pouch “If somepony robbed of my goods, they won't do the same with my bits!” she smirked. She put the pouch into her saddlebags.

“Maybe I can use my illusion spell to hide my wounds!” her eyes sparkled at her idea, only to be interrupted by a painful headache “Ow!” she clutched her forehead below her horn “It's the plot headache!” she joked to herself, smiling in pain.

It take her only 1 hour to reach Richville. As soon as she enter the town, she immediately went to a nearby pharmacy and bought some painkillers, much to the owner's curiosity since headaches aren't common in the town.

She parked her cart just by an inn “Losty, can you please stay here and watch the cart for me okay?” Losty barked, earning a giggle from his owner “don't worry, i won't be long” Golden opens the door and went inside the building.

Losty obeyed his owner. He stayed sitting and guarding Golden's merchandise for a few minutes.

Until a blue streak pass through the area.

Losty barked and run to where the streak went, leaving Golden and her cart.

“Okay, have a nice day to you, Mrs. House”

Morning went out of the inn happy “Losty, I have good ne-”

The spot where Losty once was when she left was empty.

“Losty!?” she looked under her cart but Losty wasn't there as well “Losty, where are you!?” she galloped off to a random direction, passing by local ponies. She soon found herselfs using a tracking spell which leads her a grass field.

“Losty!” she shouted, running into the field “Losty, where are you!?”

As she run, she trip on her hooves and fall to the ground “Ow!” she felt weak and her headache came back, an itching feeling occur in her eyes.

“Ow, ahh.... H....urts.....ah” she rose her head from the ground and coughed “L-Losty... where are you...?” she stood back to her legs and began to gallop.

Oblivious to her, she leaves splats of blood where she coughed.

Golden starts to feel itchy on her neck where a bite mark was located, forcing her to halt to clutch it with her hoof “AHHHHHH!!!” She quickly take off the dress she was wearing, throwing to the green grassy ground. She grit her teeth in pain, tearing through her gums and giving her more extra pain “Oh Celestiaaaaaa this hurts.... Ah...”

Nausea then decides to join up with the pain. Golden soon was retching and throwing up gallons of blood, her neck didn't feel itchy, instead it felt like as if her neck was no longer there. “L-Loooosty” she called out in a haorse voice “My doggy..... H-Help me....”

“I'm glad you came back, Sword Slasher” her ears perked up. She heard a voice! A voice means a pony is nearby. The sick unicorn mare, Golden Trade glanced at the direction where the source came from.

Three ponies, two stallions, and one mare can be seen talking to each other nearby, oblivious of Golden's presence. The mare, an opal blue pegasus hugged one of the stallions, who was wearing the armor of a royal guard from Canterlot. Golden was happy, for she knew this ponies could help her.

“H-Heeeeeeeelp...Meeeeeeee....” she attempted to yell, unfortunately it came out as a moan of pain. She slowly stood up and hobbled towards the trio.

And Golden felt hungry.

Golden knew she ate a few food from the inn served by the owners, it was weird for her to become extremely hungry. Her vision began to change as well, everything in her eye vision gradually turn crimson red, her calls for help turn into moans, half of her brain had shut down, and her eyes that shouts help turns into the eyes of a predator, a dead predator.

“HRRRAAAAAEEEEELPMEEEEEEEEEE!”
