The Last Bloodcrest

“Well when Hades and Star were both five years old and were being babysat by their nanny...” Smokey started to explain.

“Alright you two, I need to get something from my car so I'll be back in seven!” The sibling’s nanny explained.

“Okay” Hades and Star replied while not taking their eyes off of the TV that was currently showing cartoons.

This would prove to be nearly fatal to Star because while the two of them were watching cartoons, Hades’ stomach made a monotone growl, signalling that he was thirsty.

“A-a-are you hungry?” Star asked after turning to look at Hades.

“Yea” Hades replied.

“Okay, here” Star exclaimed after rolling up her sleeve and displaying her arm in front of him.

Reluctantly Hades bit into his sister’s arm and started drinking; it hurt at first but the sedatives, painkillers, blood thinners that Blood Vampires naturally produce in their saliva started kicking in and soon Star was out cold.

However, Hades being a five year old vampire at the time meant that he couldn’t control the amount of blood, magiche consumed, coupled the chemicals in his saliva, the amount of blood she was losing and Hades being distracted by the cartoon on TV would have been the end of Star’s life if their nanny had not returned in time.

“What the fuck are you doing?!” The nanny screamed before smacking Hades off his sister’s arm, she began dialing the emergency services and then called the two’s parents. “You damn monster!”

Emergency services were the first to arrive and explained that Star needed to go to the emergency room right away because she was missing 30-40% of her blood, she had also lost a little over half of her magic.

When Savvy and Express arrived they were admittedly mad at Hades but were furious at the nanny. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Leaving two five year olds alone, you are fucking fired!” Savvy screamed while Express went to check on his daughter.

“How is she?” Express questioned as two paramedics loaded Star onto a stretcher.

“She’s lost a lot of blood and magic, if we don’t get her to a hospital now she’ll lose her life!” One of the EMTs explained as they loaded Star into the ambulance. “One of you can ride in the ambulance”

“I’ll ride, you go check on Hades!” Savvy exclaimed before climbing into the ambulance.

Hades, for the most part had been crying since he was smacked off his sister; however, the combination of being smacked, being screamed at and the fact he accidently hurt his sister made him sob as his dad embraced him in an attempt to calm him down.

“Shh it’s not your fault” Express exclaimed as he embraced his son. “You didn’t mean to”

“D-daddy I’m sorry!” Hades replied as his tears still flowed.

“Despite his parents and Star forgiving him, the whole ordeal traumatized Hades which in turn made him no longer want to drink blood or consume magic out of fear he would harm someone again” Smokey finished. “Ten years later and he still hasn’t touched a single drop of blood or magic, not even from animals.”

“S-so he’s malnourished? Didn’t his parents get him therapy later?” Princess Celestia questioned.

“They did but Hades refused to interact with them,” Smokey explained.

“But that means if this goes on any longer he might end up a mummified husk! Especially if he suffers any major wounds” Princess Celestia exclaimed.

“I know, but whatever his parents try to get him some help Hades’ always manages to dodge it, heck he’s even able to tell if they hide blood in his food!” Smokey explained.

“But why doesn’t he just take vitamin supplements?” Princess Celestia suggested.

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple, cause you see vampires, whether they feed on blood or magic, get ninety-nine percent of their nutrients from sentient creatures like you and me. Not so sentient creatures like cows, pigs, etc only provide about half of the nutrients they need, vitamin supplements don’t provide any nutrients that a vampire needs at all!” Smokey explained.

“So the only way to save his life is to convince him to consume blood and magic again?” Princess Celestia questioned.

“I’m afraid yes, unless something were to happen which forces Hades to consume then he’ll probably shrivel up to the point of no return” Smokey replied with a grimace.

“I-I see, well u-um I have to get b-back to work” Princess Celestia exclaimed.

“Yea same, see you later Princess” Smokey replied before transforming into an eagle and flying out the window.

Princess Celestia simply sighed and hoped that being part of the student council would convince him to consume again.

Meanwhile Twilight was heading to what would be the new student council office when she spotted the two new members. “Hey, what are you two up to?” She asked.

“Just wandering around, what about you?” Star replied.

“About to head to the new student council building, wanna join?” Twilight offered.

“Sure,” Star replied while Hades shrugged. “Wait did you say building?”

“Yep, apparently it was the only thing on campus that was big enough!” Twilight explained. “It also used to be a faculty only building but it became abandoned”

“That seems a bit dangerous don’t you think?” Hades questioned. “Having students enter and use an abandoned building, besides it could be haunted”

“Nah if it was haunted then Headmistress Celestia would have told me. Besides, she gave me a rune that’ll renovate the building!” Twilight explained.

“Okay” Hades replied as the trio left the main building and headed towards the old building.

Once there Twilight stuck the rune to what she assumed was the front door and watched it light up before the entire building was completely engulfed in a sky-blue light that soon faded, revealing a newly renovated building that matched the rest of the school.

“We probably don't have enough time to explore so let’s leave that for lunch” Twilight suggested.

“Good idea!” Star replied.

“Um Princess Twilight, what roles does everyone have on the student council?” Hades asked.

“Well I’m the president, Sunset Shimmer the orange skinned elf is the vice president, Fluttershy the were-dove is the secretary, Pinkie Pie the human who escorted you to the student council office is the rally commissioner, Rarity the other elf manages publicity, Applejack the second human is the treasurer, and Rainbow Dash the were-eagle manages the sports teams as well as being the captain of all of them!” Twilight explained.

“What about Hades and I?” Star questioned.

“Hm, you two can lead the student security crew!” Twilight suggested. “But try not to abuse the position like the last one did, once he was caught he got expelled”

“Okay I guess we can do that, right Hades?” Star replied.

“Whatever, I’ll see you in class” Hades replied before heading to their classroom.

“What’s up with him?” Twilight asked with a concerned tone in her voice.

“He’s a bit of a loner and really didn’t want to be a part of any clubs, teams or anything like that” Star replied after sighing.

“Really, how come?” Twilight questioned.

“Eh it’s a long story,” Star replied. “I’ll tell you later but for now, see you at lunch!”

“See you!” Twilight replied before heading to her own class.
