Blood Ponies

By: GVirusInfectee

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville, and everypony was enjoying the warm weather. Everypony except Fluttershy, that is. Zecora had asked her to come by her hut in the Everfree Forest, and even though she was terrified of the dark, gloomy forest, Fluttershy didn't like to disappoint anypony. She headed out after asking Angel Bunny, her bunny friend, to look after the house while she was gone, and was soon enjoying a rather good cup of tea with the zebra. They talked for hours, and by the time Fluttershy rose to leave for home, it was dark out.

"A visitor is rare these days; thanks for stopping by my place," Zecora commented, rhyming as always.

"Oh, it was no problem. No problem at all," replied Fluttershy in her soft, gentle voice. With that, she turned and left.

The gentle pegasus was almost home when she heard a rustle in the bushes. Her pulse was pounding as she crept toward the area that the sound had come from.

"Hello?" she stuttered, and screamed in pain and terror as an unfamiliar earth pony sank its fangs into her neck. 'Wait, earth ponies don't have fangs,' thought Fluttershy. She struggled and kicked and finally bucked the mare to the ground. The mare hissed at her, revealing two very sharp fangs set into her gum line amongst the other normal teeth. Panicking, Fluttershy shot up through the trees and flew at a breakneck speed over to Twilight Sparkle's house. Fluttershy was convinced that the book-smart unicorn would know what had just happened.

Twilight had been trying desperately to sleep when the knock came at her door. She was about to yell at whoever it was until she opened the door. Fluttershy stood in the doorway, eyes wide and chest heaving with fear, a trickle of blood winding down her pelt from two neat pinpricks on her neck. Twilight let the terrified pegasus into the house without a word.

"Fluttershy, what in Equestria happened to you?" asked the purple unicorn concernedly.

Fluttershy burst into tears as she recounted the day's events, right up to the attack. "And then I flew here," she finished. "I knew you would know what happened."

Twilight's eyebrows furrowed. Where had she read this before? Then it hit her: the legend of Blood Ruby, the vampyre of Everfree Forest. The descriptions matched up too. But the residents of Ponyville had destroyed her and sealed her remains away more than a century ago.

Could Fluttershy be making it up?

The thought crossed Twilight's mind, but was brushed away. Fluttershy wasn't the kind to lie, even as a joke.

"It must have been a prank, albeit one that went entirely too far" Twilight concluded. "You are welcome to stay the night if you are afraid to go home."

"Thanks, but I think I'll be fine now," replied the yellow pegasus, although she didn't sound very convincing.

That night, poor Fluttershy got no rest. Her body burned as if it was on fire. She whimpered most of the night. When she wasn't in pain, she went through alternating periods of excruciating hunger and unbearable lust.

What is happening to me? She thought weakly before another fit of desire gripped her and crowded out all other thought, her hips jerking and gyrating of their own volition. Her wings were standing upright, and were so stiff they ached. Panting and moaning in frustration, she dragged herself onto the floor. Then, the fit passed, and she was again thinking clearly.

She realized something was indeed very wrong. Estrus season had been a few months before, and even then, she wasn't like this. So then what is wrong with me? She wondered. It was almost three in the morning before she got any sleep.

The bell to the Sugarcube Corner swung open, and Pinkie Pie leapt over the counter to greet Fluttershy.

"You look tired, you silly filly," the pink earth pony remarked, noting Fluttershy's disheveled mane, bloodshot eyes, and eyelid bags.

"I didn't sleep very well last night," replied the yellow pegasus sleepily. "I think I'm coming down with something. I was burning up all last night, and now the light is hurting my eyes. My teeth hurt and I have the worst headache."

Pinkie's gaze turned thoughtful as she pondered over how to help her friend. Her face lit up and she literally bounced off the walls as she got an idea.

"I know!" she practically screamed, not noticing her friend grimacing or covering her ears. "You should go see Twilight! She'll know what's wrong for sure!" Then Pinkie realized how loud she was. "Sorry Fluttershy," she whispered, hugging her friend gently.

"That's okay, Pinkie. You didn't mean to shout," Fluttershy mumbled. She decided that she would go see Twilight and tell her about what had happened after she had left. Thanking Pinkie for the idea, Fluttershy headed to Twilight's house.

Fluttershy silently entered the quiet library, and called out for Twilight when she didn't see her. When nopony answered, she was struck by a sudden wave of intense sleepiness. She drew all the curtains closed, found the darkest place to lie in, and dozed off.

Fluttershy didn't know how long she was out; she was awakened by Twilight's startled gasp.

"Fluttershy, what are you doing here?" demanded the startled unicorn.

"I came here looking for you, and when you weren't here…I was just so sleepy…" Fluttershy was embarrassed; she normally didn't just waltz into somepony else's house and make herself comfortable. "I'm so sorry; I don't know what came over me."

Twilight noticed how her friend was looking. "What's wrong, Fluttershy? Did something happen last night after you left?" She was very concerned for her friend.

"Oh yes, and none of it good," replied the pegasus sourly. "I was burning up most of the night, and then I went between extreme hunger and desire worse than anything felt during estrus season. I didn't fall asleep until very early this morning."

Twilight immediately pulled her book on Blood Ruby and examined the symptoms of her bite victims. Fluttershy had just listed three.

"Oh, did I mention my headache, my teeth hurt, and sunlight stings my eyes?" the tired pegasus added offhandedly.

'Make that six,' thought the unicorn. 'Throw in her fatigue and it's looking more and more like she's becoming a vampyre herself.' "Fluttershy?" the unicorn started, but her friend was again asleep. Frowning with worry, Twilight plowed through every book on vampyre lore that she owned, all the while having her faithful dragon companion Spike send out letters to Princess Celestia asking for more books on the subject.

By the time Fluttershy woke up, it was dusk. She looked around, and noticed that two of her teeth felt weird. Looking in the mirror, she realized that she had grown fangs like those the mare who attacked her had. She wandered into the main room of Twilight's house, and found Twilight pouring over a heap of books. Spike was groaning, and had turned an odd shade of green, all the while belching out new books in bright flashes of flame. The pegasus got an idea, and smiled to herself.

"What are you reading Twilight?" she asked, making the unicorn jump.

"You scared me," Twilight scolded. "I've been reading up on vampyres, trying to disprove that you are becoming…" her voice trailed off as Fluttershy grinned, revealing her new fangs.

"It's not so bad. I mean at first it was, but now it really isn't as bad as one would think," she said, advancing on her suddenly scared friend. "You'll get used to it too, Twilight. You'll see."

This last statement didn't sink in until Fluttershy was upon Twilight, and by then, the pegasus's teeth were already sinking into the tender meat of her friend's neck.

'Oh, sweet Celestia, blood tastes amazing!' Fluttershy thought, but she forced herself to stop. Feeding was not the objective here. She pulled away, seeing the same raw fear in her friend's eyes that she herself had felt just a day earlier. She smiled, nuzzling her friend.

"It gets better, Twilight," she said soothingly. "Besides, I couldn't have you blabbing my secret to everyone, now could I? You have as much to lose as I do."

Suddenly Twilight felt as if she was on fire. She twisted and squirmed in pain, and Fluttershy was there, stroking her mane and comforting her.

Twilight now realized what Fluttershy had meant when she said that the desire was much worse than anything in estrus season. She had been burning up one minute, then the next, she had tackled her friend, panting as a different heat filled her body. She was suddenly aware of everything; the rough grain of the wood floor, the soft pelt of her friend underneath her, and her own quickening pulse as Fluttershy leaned in to kiss her. Without thinking, Twilight met her halfway, marveling at how soft warm and wet her friend's tongue was.

'I've never felt anything like this,' Twilight thought before her desire crowded out all sane thought. It was no longer a question of want. She needed this mare, needed her to fulfill the desires that were now surfacing. Nothing else seemed to matter to her right then. All she felt was ecstasy as Fluttershy traced her lips lightly along her collarbone. Both reveled in the scent of the other, one smelling of books and the midnight sky, the other of fresh air and flowers.

Fluttershy kissed her way lower, taking her time, and was rewarded by Twilight's groans. The unicorn was in rapture, but it kept getting better. She suddenly felt lips brush her most intimate spot, and her eyes flew open as she gasped. It felt much better than she had ever made herself feel during the many long, lonely nights back in Canterlot, and even the ones here in Ponyville. All she could think was more. As if Fluttershy had read her mind, Twilight's breath was taken away as the yellow pegasus began flicking her tongue back and forth, up and down, and all around. Twilight's hips bucked and jerked, her legs wrapped around Fluttershy's head, and a tuneless moan escaped her lips. It was the best thing she had ever felt, and soon she was gasping for air as a tingling, pleasurable wave descended upon her body and mind.

When she was finally able to breathe again, she felt Fluttershy nuzzle her.

"Was it good for you, Twilight?" she queried.

Twilight nodded, still unable to speak. She gazed over at her friend and noticed that her wings were standing straight up at right angles to her body. Smiling, Twilight let out a giggle as she inched closer to Fluttershy. She started slowly running her tongue along the inner ridge of one wing, all the while massaging the cutie mark on her friend's flank. Fluttershy sighed.

"I don't think my legs will hold, Twilight," Fluttershy said in a shaky voice. She lay down and pulled Twilight in for another kiss.

The unicorn summoned a wisp of magic to massage the hot, wet area between her friend's thighs, and the kiss deepened. Twilight joined the magic, licking with gentle and delicate strokes of her tongue. Fluttershy moaned in appreciation, her hips thrusting all of their own will. Then it was over for her too, gasping and shuddering in sheer ecstasy.

"You should go to bed," Fluttershy said to Twilight. "You'll need the rest, believe me."

"What about the others?" asked the unicorn. "They will find out what we are sooner or later."

Fluttershy grinned. "I have a plan all cooked up, Twilight. They won't say anything; trust me. Now go to sleep." With that, she tucked the unicorn in, closed off all light sources, and walked home, a satisfied smile crossing her lips. It would be dawn soon, and she would need to sleep in darkness through the day.

Rainbow Dash was flying through the sky slowly for a change. Another oddity was that she was looking for somepony, instead of things being the other way around.

Well, make that two ponies.

Fluttershy and Twilight hadn't been around yet, and those two almost always woke her up for breakfast together. So when she woke up at noon and neither of them had come around, the blue pegasus naturally went to look for her friends.

Nopony could remember seeing either of the two. Pinkie had said that Fluttershy had been in the other day, but wasn't feeling well. She had left soon after arriving, headed for Twilight Sparkle's house. Figuring that it was worth a shot, Rainbow streaked over to the unicorn's house.

When she arrived at Twilight's home, a very sleepy unicorn greeted her, squinting into the daylight.

"Hey, Twilight, where ya been?" asked Rainbow, grinning from ear to ear. "You and Fluttershy didn't wake me up for our breakfast."

Twilight grunted in response, easing the door open and letting her friend inside.

Dash was surprised at how dark the normally well-lit library was. "What's up with the gloomy darkness?" She was a little worried.

"Sorry," the tired unicorn sighed. "I have the worst migraine, and too much light is hurting my eyes." She went around, lighting several candles to improve visibility. "Fluttershy's still at her place," Twilight continued, facing away from her friend to hide the smirk on her lips. Her teeth were already growing into tiny points. "If you want to find her, look there. But whatever I have, I think I got it from her. She wasn't in the best shape these past two nights." 'And so it begins,' thought the unicorn, trying her hardest not to laugh. "Sorry about missing breakfast, but I'm really tired. I pulled an all-nighter reading old ponytales." Twilight forced a sheepish smile.

"No problem, old pal," said the pegasus cheerfully. "I'll let you get back to sleep. Try not to stay up all night too often, okay?"

Twilight grunted a response as Rainbow walked out the door. As she flew away, Twilight thought to herself. 'Fluttershy, you'd better hope to Celestia that your plan works.' In response, she heard Fluttershy's voice, as if through a mental link.

"It will work; trust me," she said. Twilight found that she did.

Yawning, the unicorn snuggled back into her covers and was soon sleeping peacefully.

On her way over to Fluttershy's house, Rainbow Dash became sidetracked. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo had asked her to show off some of her moves for their class to see. Being a natural showoff, Dash was more than happy to oblige. She streaked here, zoomed there, and even pulled off her signature Sonic Rainboom. This last maneuver brought tears of admiration to young Scootaloo's eyes.

"So cool," she sniffled. "I wanna be just like her."

Dash heard this and grinned widely, but Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle only rolled their eyes at their friend's statement. Rainbow Dash was the only thing besides earning her cutie mark that the filly talked about.

Dash looked at the sky and saw it was almost dark. With a salute, she sped off towards Fluttershy's house, the class's cheers fading behind her.

Fluttershy smiled to herself, seeing Rainbow in the distance, a growing speck of blue on the dusky horizon.

"Right on time," she chuckled. "I told you this would work."

"Don't count your chickens before they hatch," said Twilight, stepping out of the shadows and sitting down next to her friend. "Nothing is for certain yet. She isn't bitten."

"But she will be," countered Fluttershy. "That's what matters, right?"

"I guess so," mumbled Twilight, eyes locked on the growing speck of her friend on the horizon. Her friend had looked quite tasty earlier. It was going to take a lot to just bite.

"Buck yes, you guess so. Now hide before she gets here. You're supposed to be at home sick, remember?"

Twilight grinned, revealing her new fangs. "I only told her I had a headache and that I was sleepy. So I'm better now. I'm not lying, am I?"

"No, I suppose not. I see your fangs have grown in."

"Yes, they have," Twilight giggled. "Pretty aren't they?"

"Very. Now act natural. We don't want her knowing something's up until that door is locked behind her."

"This is going to be fun," Twilight said. Fluttershy nudged her, the signal to shut up. Dash was at the door.

"Come in." Fluttershy managed her sweetest voice. Twilight snickered.

"Hey, Fluttershy, where were you this morning?" Rainbow was about to ask more when she noticed Twilight. "I thought you weren't feeling good." She eyed the unicorn.

"I'm feeling much better now," replied Twilight coolly. "I went to the doctor, and he gave me some medicine."

Dash heard the door lock click behind her. Turning around, she saw Fluttershy, an odd smile on her face. The chair Twilight had been in scraped, and Rainbow turned to see her walking toward her.

"What's up with you two?" the blue pegasus asked nervously. "You guys are acting weird."

The two mares only smiled their odd smiles, circling her like sharks circle their prey.

Twilight grinned, revealing her fangs. "Should we tell her, Fluttershy?" she asked. "She deserves to know."

"Tell me what?" Dash's voice squeaked, and Fluttershy giggled at the sound.

"No, we shouldn't tell her," replied the yellow pegasus, grinning to reveal her own fangs. "We should show her instead!"

"Show me what?" Dash's voice was more desperate now.

"Good idea," giggled Twilight.

Dash suddenly noticed her friends' teeth, and chuckled nervously, a bead of sweat running down her forehead.

"Okay guys," she said. "Joke's over. Man, you really had me going there for a minute. …Guys?"

"No joke," replied the two mares, still grinning as they tightened the circle. They were now brushing against her.

"Guys, stop really, you're freaking me-" Her voice turned into a shriek as both ponies bit into a side of her neck. She could feel her blood being drained away, sucked into her friends' hungry mouths.

'They've gone crazy,' she thought desperately. 'They have, or it's me that's lost it.' But deep down, she knew that wasn't true. This was real; this was happening.

The two suddenly pulled away, and tears welled in Dash's eyes.

"Dashie, you taste really good," sighed Twilight.

"Agreed," cooed Fluttershy.

Dash shook, her tears spilling down her face; her two friends came close to her, and she jerked back.

"Don't be like that, Dash," said Fluttershy. "You're going to thank us later. Honest to goodness." She tittered as she used that line so often heard from her mouth.

"We'll be here for you when nopony else will be," added Twilight. "We'll make it all better."

Dash barely heard Twilight through the haze that had suddenly enveloped her conscious mind. She was out cold before she hit the floor.

"Well shit," muttered Twilight. "Do you think we overdid it?"

"Nope," responded Fluttershy. "Rainbow always was a bit of a scaredy cat with these kinds of things."

"So what do we do now?" Twilight asked.

"I know," smiled the yellow pegasus. "Let's go find us a handsome young stallion. I could use some 'sport'." She winked at the last part, and Twilight grinned.

"Good idea," she answered. "But we'll need to be back before she wakes up."

Fluttershy nodded, and they both went off in search of a suitable male to turn.

Rainbow woke up to her captors standing above her. The two were talking about an unsuccessful hunt.

"So we didn't find a male," Twilight was saying. "No big deal, we still got Dash."

"I don't care," replied Fluttershy in frustration. "I'd like a man now and then. Not that I wouldn't mind a night with just us three." Fluttershy looked down and saw that Dash's eyes were open. "Ah, sleeping beauty is awake I see," she said. Twilight snickered.

Dash suddenly felt as if her entire being was on fire. Tears squirted from her clenched eyelids, and she managed to utter a single question.

"What did you two do to me?" she screamed, though she was afraid she already knew the answer.

Fluttershy proved Dash's suspicions correct. "Why, we've made you one of us; a vampyre, you silly filly. It hurts now, but you'll feel much better by tomorrow night. And then you'll help us convert our other friends as well." The two lay down next to their friend and stroked her mane gently, comforting her as she writhed in pain.

"You'll thank us later," repeated Twilight. "We're here now, we'll always be here."

Rainbow found that she was beginning to believe her friends.

Neither Twilight nor Fluttershy had anticipated how hard the desire would hit Rainbow Dash, and the two were almost caught off guard.

The sky-blue pegasus was panting like she had run the world's longest race, her pupils so dilated that almost nothing of her violet irises was visible. Her right hoof shot between her legs in the blink of an eye, and was instantly working away at the mare. Fluttershy and Twilight went to their friend, each running her own tongue along the ridges of a wing. Dash's back arched at the feeling. This was an area almost as sensitive as the damp, blazing hot opening that she was massaging. Her gravelly voice filled the house with moans.

"Damn, Dashie," Twilight giggled. "You have a really sexy voice you know that?"

"That's nothing," replied Fluttershy. "Just look at that face!"

Dash's eyes were half lidded, and her tongue lolled out of the corner of her grinning mouth, making drool spill down her cheeks. Her chest hitched as the girls matched the rhythm of their licks with the rhythm of her own hoof strokes. Bright patches of red splotched her cheeks, and her each exhaled breath was a ragged, guttural moan of ecstasy.

"Wow, look at that!" Twilight exclaimed. "Her vagina is practically steaming!"

"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" Fluttershy teased. Dash couldn't even nod. Her body was assaulted by wave after wave of pleasure at the hands of the two wonderfully skilled mares.

When she finally came, Rainbow screamed loud enough that the rafters of Fluttershy's house vibrated. Her back arched, and then she collapsed in a gasping heap. She sighed happily and turned to face her friends.

"That was great," she raved. "Amazing, even, but I'm still not satisfied. I can't leave my best buds hanging, now can I?"

Twilight and Fluttershy grinned and shook their heads, laying on their backs for the pegasus. Rainbow Dash scooted over between the two, kissing first Twilight, then Fluttershy. Each hoof went between the legs of the two, and soon both ponies were squirming in delight. Dash worked her hooves, alternating direction, pressure, and speed.

"Oh, wow," panted Twilight. "Dash, you're really bucking good at this!" Twilight's hips wouldn't sit still for any amount of time longer than a second.

"I've had a lot of practice," replied Dash, grinning. "I just do what I do to myself."

"Well, whatever you're doing, don't stop." Fluttershy was gasping with every word. Her body was shuddering nonstop, and spasms rocked her hips every few seconds.

Both ponies came at the same time, locked in a deep kiss as they collapsed into a heap. They were breathing heavily, and it was several seconds before either could speak.

"Twilight, it's almost dawn," Fluttershy reminded. The unicorn shook her head in response.

"I'm not leaving till tonight," she reminded. "Besides, I think we should have a sleepover. We have enough of us to turn Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie in one night. What do you think?"

"I think you have something there," replied Fluttershy. "But how will we get the invites out?"

Twilight gestured a peacefully sleeping Rainbow Dash. "She can still go out," she suggested. "It'll have to be early, though, or the sun will sting her eyes like nothing else."

"Good idea," Fluttershy mused, reaching for a pencil and paper. She wrote a quick note to the sleeping pegasus, and then yawned. "We'd best get going to bed," she urged, placing the note on the table, then setting an alarm clock set to go off in two hours next to Dash's head. They headed into the basement, where it was cool and dark, climbed into the beds Fluttershy had made, and dozed off in a matter of seconds.

A deafening ring in her ears awakened rainbow Dash; she rose reluctantly from the floor and shut off the alarm clock that was next to her. Stretching, she noticed a note on the table. Walking over, she read the note slowly, the last of her sleepiness going away.

Dear R.D.,

Congratulations! You're one of us now. Come tonight, the change will be complete. Twilight and I greatly enjoyed last night. But now we have a small task for you before you disappear for the day. We're having a "sleepover" at Twilight's house tonight, and we need you to make sure the others come. It is advised you do it ASAP: too much sunlight will hurt your eyes. A lot. After you finish this, you're free to come here for sleep, or you can go home.

Thanks a Bunch In Advance,

Fluttershy and Twilight

P.S.: We're asleep in the basement. If you absolutely have to, wake us up, otherwise, please don't. We have a bed down here for you in case you come back.

Dash sighed as she read the note. She was being forced to be the errand pony for her two friends, but she headed out the door anyway. The sun wasn't yet bright enough to hurt her eyes, but it would be in about an hour. She would have to hurry.

"A sleepover?" shrieked Pinkie Pie happily. Dash winced; her headache was starting to gain intensity.

"Yeah, that's right, at Twilight's house tonight." Dash forced a smile, taking care not to reveal her sharpening teeth to the cotton-candy-maned pony. "Be there around dusk. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to tell the others, then I'm going to bed. I was up all night with Twilight and Fluttershy making plans."

"Of course," laughed Pinkie. "I'll see you there, Dashie!"

"So they just had one of them twenty-four-hour bugs then?" Applejack was busy applebucking as she spoke with the blue pegasus.

"Right," said Dash a little impatiently. "And they're better now. So will you come or not?"

"Hmmm," thought Applejack. "Well, it's the height of applebucking season, but I'll see what I can do."

"Great," replied Dash. "I'll see you then!" With that, she sped away toward Rarity's boutique.

"Maybe!" called the earth pony after her, shaking her head.

When Rainbow arrived at Rarity's place, she found the unicorn still asleep. Sighing in relief, she left a note on the window telling Rarity about the party. She then bolted back to Fluttershy's for a little shuteye. The sun was getting a little too bright for her.
