Bloodlust
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI sat in my cabin, my phone buzzing with most likely concerned texts from my friends, I hoped at least. Multiple texts coming through within seconds of my first, yet I was so scared to look, anxiety flew through me as I couldn't pick up the phone.
Probably less than a minute later I heard footsteps outside my door followed by concerned voices that could clearly be made out as the all to familiar voices of my beloved friends, Pinkie Pie's being the loudest as always.
Their voices relaxed me slightly till I realised I'd have to explain. Knocks could be heard, right I forgot to unlock the door, so stupid. I paused for a second before slowly advancing to the door.
The click of the door unlocking rang through my ears, and apparently everyone else’s as it went silent outside. That sort of made me feel worse.
I gently slid the door open to see all 6 of my friends. We stood in silence for a moment, it was only a few seconds but it felt much longer, I finally spoke. “Well you guys should come in so we can talk about this.”
As I spoke I moved out of the way to allow them through, they did so quickly.
"So uh, care to explain what yer text was about?" AppleJack asked the curiosity and confusion evident in her voice. I took in a deep breath as all eyes fell on me. "Try not to laugh, but I think. I think I've been turned into a vampire?" It was silent for a moment before RainbowDash burst out in a fit of laughter. I felt heat rise to my cheeks, "I-it's not funny Rainbow!" I tried to hide my embarrassment but to no avail. RainbowDash finally calmed down after her laughing fit. "RainbowDash I'm sure Sunset has a perfectly good explanation for her, uhh... strange conspiracy." Geez Twilight that's one way to tell me you don't believe me either. "Yeah I do, just let me explain. I've been this weird thirst, but whenever I try to drink water it does absolutely nothing for it. I can't eat at all, I'm never hungry and even the thought of eating sickens me. And last night I went to bed normally but I woke up on the couch, which I don't remember going to during the night at all."
Barely even a second had passed before the TV we were supplied with in the room started to play on the news, I don't even remember turning that on. Oh there it is, Pinkie had turned it on, I suppose she got bored or something. But when I took a second to listen to what was happening on the screen what I heard made my blood run ice cold. "A man has been found in an alleyway passed out, he has shown to have lost a lot of blood from his neck. Apparently it looks as if he was bitten by a vampire that you would see in movies." An image of the wound on his neck was shown. Damn it really did look like he'd been bitten by a vampire from the movies. Wait... did I... did I do that? It would make perfect sense. That unusual thirst I couldn't satisfy, waking up on the couch, the thirst gone. But if I did, that would mean everyone else here is in danger, my friends were in danger. Because of me.
"Sunset, darling? Are you alright?" This was probably the most concerned Rarity ever sounded to her. "Umm, I think that I. I think I did that." My words were met with expressions of horror and fear. "Pfft, you'd never do that, your way too good of a person." Rainbow put her arm around my neck as she spoke. "But look at it, it makes perfectly good sense. From everything you heard there to what I already told you all. It adds up."
The silence ran through the room again. "Wait I have an idea. That totally makes sense once you put it together and right now you're probably worried about us and the people on the ship. So why don't we ask the captain if we can have one of the multi person suites and we all stay with you so you can't do anything?" God how did Pinkie always know everything, guess it's that Pinkie sense she called it or something?
Thoughts of agreement rang through the room. "All right I'll go ask, don't have too much fun without me!" Pinkie exclaimed running out the door and down the hall. "How does that girl always know what we're feeling?" AppleJack almost looked like she was questioning her whole life. "Didn't she call it Pinkie sense or something? Best not to worry about it, it's Pinkie after all." I ended my sentence with a slight laughing most of the others joining in with me.
It was not long before Pinkie came back. She explained to us we were allowed to occupy the room for a bit as long as we didn't let anyone know we didn't pay for it. Hey it works for me.
We'd already grabbed our belongings and each moved into the suite, there were 3 bedrooms so naturally we had grouped 2 people into each room. AppleJack was with Rarity, FlutterShy with RainbowDash, Pinkie just decided herself that she would sleep on the couch... wait that just left... ME AND TWILIGHT?! My heartbeat's pace quickened up as so did my breathing. I calmed myself down before anyone noticed. Thankfully no one did.
We had mostly been messing around in the room before, it was quite dark as of now though. "Hey I'm gonna go head outside for a moment. I'll just be outside the hall no further." I explained, I could see that they were all hesitant to but decided to let me go on.
I stepped outside making my way to the end of the hall, as I reached the door my head began to erupt into excruciating pain, that horrible thirst came back, I began to feel dizzy just before my vision went out.
From Twilight's Point Of View
"Hey guys. Not to alarm anyone after we just heard from Sunset, but she's been gone for a bit, maybe we should go check on her." After my suggestion the room went quiet, panicked expressions arose before quickly turning to determined ones as they went out to search for their friend.
We'd all began to move out to see, in a group just in case Sunset was right about the vampire thing. All of us but Fluttershy and RainbowDash went, they stayed just for the case if she came back and nobody was there.
Once we got to the place she swore to be we were all horrified to find her nowhere around. "Alright nobody panic just yet. We need to split up and find her. Rarity ye'r with meh, Pinkie you go with Twilight. If you find her immediately send us a message in the groupchat. I'll send one now to let Dash and FlutterShy know." AppleJack spoke so quickly as we all sprung in to action running opposite directions in our groups.
Me and Pinkie had headed towards the large main hall of the ship and cafeteria on the opposite side. "Alrighty I'll check the cafeteria you check the hall. And no it's not just for the leftover treats probably in there." I rolled my eyes, it was totally for the goods probably left in there. I agreed anyways heading in the heavy doors. If I was to be honest I didn't exactly believe this whole vampire thing.
The hall was dark and empty, just a large open space with a stage, probably for performing, I mean what else would it be for? I felt a shiver run up my spine, it was certainly cold in here. But that wasn't what made me shiver, but I can't exactly put my finger on what it truly was that caused it.
I wondered up to the stage checking around as much I could see in the dark anyways. I began to take my phone out of my pocket to turn the flash on but before I could I froze. A villainous giggle was heard from behind me. But I turned around to see no one. I had turned around to be pushed against the wall beside me by a black figure I couldn't exactly make out. It was quick but surprisingly gentle. The figure reached for my pocket. Once they had a grasp of my phone they said, "Now we wouldn't want anyone finding us would we?" That voice... it was Sunset's, but I wasn't that sure. The figures voice sounded a lot more like a hint of seduction was in it. But when the figure gently threw my phone to the ground it lit up, confirming my suspicion.
Sunset Shimmer stood before me, her yellow and red streaked hair a complete mess, her eyes from their normal teal to a shade of crimson. And long sharp fangs replacing where her two normal teeth would have been. And even worse, I was completely helpless to what'd she'd do, pinned against the stage wall completely at her mercy. Or was that even better?
Author's Note
Uhh hey it's been a hot minute hasn't it? ![]()
The other chapters were pretty short so I definitely had to make this one longer. And we finally got the good SunLight content in. ![]()
Well more of a tease on SunLight, you'll just have to wait for that. ![]()
What were your thoughts on this one? And if you have any suggestions let me know I'm always open to those. Also if you've read before chapters you'll notice I changed it to 1st person, I just discovered I find it easier to write like that.
