Silence in Equestria

The Sector II: Episode VI:

Alone

Silence rushed back to the library in such a hurry that she forgot her wounded leg as she landed on the balcony, where Twilight was peacefully reading her book. She jumped and screamed as soon as her leg hit the wooden floor.

"My ears! Silence, what's the-" but before she could finish it she noticed Silence's red, swollen back legs and shouted. "Sweet Celestia, what happened?"

"Don't care about it" Silence answered "just hurry to Applejack, she needs your help, all of yours."

Twilight nodded and hurried to call Spike, and after some minutes they both left. Silence was now alone... in peace and quiet. The library suddenly turned into a graveyard for books. She noticed the bandages on Twilight's shelf which she prepared for her. How kind. She went to the bathroom to wet them and bandage her hooves. As she headed back to the desk, smiling, wondering about what kind of gift she should give to Twilight as a sign of gratefulness. However, when she saw the ink and parchment on the table, she began to think of something else. She hadn't written a report to her clan yet. Given the circumstances, she grabbed her the quill with her magic and began to write.

"Dear fellow clan members.

I know these are hard times for all of us. This place, Equestria, I'm discovering is a wonderful land. The equines here are kind and friendly. The food however, since we're talking about ponies, mostly isn't edible for us. Most likely the same applies to all equines' blood. There is a presence of both science and magic, but the technology is not good enough to use them together. My plan: we need to keep ourselves secret, until we have been assimilated into their society and until we get powerful again. Even if it's not what I imagined, the goal of the 4th generation vampires have been reached. We'll continue our vampiric lives as a big family, despite these major changes.

Yours

Silence"

Talking about vampiric life, Silence noticed she was getting hungrier and hungrier. Although she didn't at all want her inner, bloodlustful beast - what every vampire has, to take over, she patiently kept waiting for the night. Until then, she decided to look after something that can help in her plans. Something that can make her more powerful. Something that can turn her into an alicorn. She was looking for anything that can be useful help in reaching her goal. After several books and no success, she started being really nervous. She was afraid Twilight may come back in any second. Finally, after hours of searching she found something. A ritual that can transform one into whatever her wish is for the time of 24 hours. But it's materials were unknown for her, for now at least. Later she found another spell, and another one. She took the book to the bedroom for further reading. But when she thought she can read the perfect spell book alone, Twilight and Spike came home. Of course, she turned her disguise back on, as she heard them entering.

"Hello, Silence, we're back." she said.

Silence came out from the bedroom, leaving the book on her bed. "Hi Twilight, how was the applebucking?"

"Really good, actually. Sweet Apple Acres probably never had such a huge harvest. Applejack is really pleased. But what about your leg? I see you can walk now." noted Twilight with a sweet, happy expression.

"It is much better now. Thank you very much. I don't even know how I could repay."

Twilight smiled and put her hoof on Silence's back "You don't need to repay anything. As your friend I'm happy to help you if needed." As soon as she finished her sentence Twilight yawned "Ah, I guess I'll take a nap."

She rubbed her eyes with her hooves and headed to her room. Only then did Silence notice how time flied. It was already dusk. The sun, along with the ponies slowly went to sleep. Silence patiently waited on the balcony gazing at the sunset wondering about what will the future bring and what have it already brought. The syringes that some time ago were the only ways for a vampire to get to the sunlight have disappeared. Their places have been replaced by small, fragile mechanics working inside a body that was planned to be the Perfect daughter of Science and Magic. The sun disappeared from the horizon, there were almost no pony on the street, and as the stars appeared one-by-one on the darker and darker sky, Silence flew away to taste the blood of a pony for the first time.
