private The Other Ponies

[Chickey 383]

In Hypno's subconscious state, he seemed to dream within his own mind. He appeared to be in a large palace, within a rather empty room. The only thing in it was Hypno in a chair. A chess table next to him. And another... Hypno.

This Hypno looked different. He had more spikey black hair, red eyes, bat wings, and a brown coat.

"I absolutely HATE ponies like that... So happy, good, and oblivious i can feel the bright energy emitting from her... I HATE IT!" The Nega-Hypno yelled as he slammed one of his hooves into the chess table.

"Cool yourself..." Hypno commented with a sigh.

 

Shadow watched Hypno on the ground still confused, wondering if he could do something about his mental problem. He wondered where the Snow pony was.

"As much as that's true, you were walking Clocks," he said, waiting almost impatiently for the danger he knew was coming. Snakes had excelent senses of smell, but poor eyesight. That was the significance of the scent sticks. "Now we kind of need to be quiet for a while, so the snake-ponies don't know we're here."

[Chickey 383]

"Oh, they'll find us, don't you worry about that." He said as he sat down and waited.

 

The Nega-Hypno sighed. "I need to kill somepony, and i need to do it soon... It's beginning to irritate me how you hold me back.." He said with a bored look.

"Gonna pass, i really don't like killing for fun honestly" Hypno said moving a chess piece up.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Do you have weapon?" Quickly asked, going through his bag. Scent bomb, scent bomb, darn it Grandma! Okay, dung bomb... nope. Didn't plane for snake-ponies. Okay, weapon for Clocks, weapon for Clocks... Is this my blood-letting daggar... He pulled it out, suprised, I didn't think she kept that... "Can you shoot a crossbow?"

[Chickey 383]

"Besides switchblades, crossbows are my favorite." Clocks said with a chuckle and pulling out a knife.

 

Hypno watched as the Nega-Hypno pushed up a chess piece. Hypno sighed "You'll just be stopped, there's know way we'll kill somepony any time soon. And if we did it would end badly."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"... I'd feel more comfortable if you had a crossbow. No offense, but that beating you took earlier? It's starting to show. Just don't break it, please." He hid in a shadow, with the cerimonial knife ready. He'd killed his first forest spider of the giant veriaty with it.

[Chickey 383]

 

"I'm a gang leader, not a foot soldier. Although i could punch him ta death if he wasn't made of buckin' acid." He said grabbing a crossbow and some bolts. "Weapons or not, we are not goin' to need dem for da time being. Da snakes will not be so dumb to attack us. They are tracking us, not attacking us."

 

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"Lovely. That means we can't go home, we'll be putting them at risk. This time for real, do you have anything to drink? I'm thirsty, and to be honest, I could use a pick-me-up. Even if I've only actually drank an alcholic beverage once. Your bartender spiked it; I didn't feel normal for a full day."

[Chickey 383]

"Does it look like i carry around regular non blood filled drinks?" Cocks asked with a laugh. He loaded up the crossbow just in case.

 

Midnight, Shadow, and Fire all walked back towards the town. Shadow carried Hypno on his back as he walked to Ponyville. He wondered where the group had gone.

Her eyes slowly opened, noticing that his colt friend isn't beside him. She let out a soft and quiet yawn as she left the room slowly. Rubbing her eyes with her hooves, she started looking for Blaze. Sticking her head into every single room in the mansion, she managed to find him laying down with a book and some coffee. "Good Afternoon?" she said confusingly as she did not know what time it was.

[Chickey 383]

Shadow began to track the group until he picked up their scent. He started to walk towards where he smelled it with the rest following

 

"Now... what makes you think i'll be stopped?" Nega-Hypno asked. "Would it be the girl? Haha! We haven't seen her since the train! How do you know she hasn't left for piano boy?" He asked with a fanged grin.

"Unlike you i can actually trust ponies... And for one i trust her fully." Hypno said

"No wonder we get stabbed in the back so often..." He muttered.

Carrick let Blaze and Daeva stay in the bed and rest for the day. Hopefully, there was one more to find more stuff with them. Carrick still decide to venture on by himself. He didn't know what happened to the other ponies, but there wasn't much time to worry about such things at the moment. The sake of this case was in hooves, Carrick decide it was time to venture onto Fluttershy's cottage. If he remembered correct address. It was close to the Everfree Forest.

 

The town really did feel quiet. Something was amiss here and Carrick was sure it was Ice Star on this one. Carrick finally reached the Cottage with no problems for the time being. Carrick saw that no animals were close by. Nothing was here, not even that suppose bunny of hers that wonders around. The birdhouses that would have birds come and go were gone. The small house that a small animal would live in must have been evicted or ran away. The bunny...that bunny she had. Maybe it was inside? Carrick shrugged as he trotted to the front door. He knocked and than a slight creaked of the door slowly gave a brief look inside. Nothing inside, as excepted. The brown walls felt bigger here. The bird cage empty, the furniture was begging to be sat on.

 

Carrick looked around to see nothing of importance here. This place was kept nice and clean. It was odd, but it was time to move upstairs. The earth pony walked upstairs to see Fluttershy's bedroom. The big bed and lamp were the the thing that caught Carrick's eye. He looked around the area as the blankets were still neatly prepared. The detective opened up the cabinets as he looked at the various objects inside. There wasn't anything in particular that would work for him. He gave a sigh, Hmm, I better checked someplace. Carrick went in and checked under the bed, he saw something....

 

The long day had past him over as Carrick slept on the floor. He groaned to stare at the window holding the object in his hoof. This object might contain something that will help us with the case! Carrick had been for some of the night. As his case was more important than sleep. He gave a yawn to see Blaze with a cup of coffee and more relaxed than Carrick. "Maybe a few hours, give or take." Carrick continued to hold the object in his hoof. Wrapped around his hoofpit.

[Chickey 383]

"You're pathetic and too trusting..." He said with a snarl as he moved a chess piece up. "You must think the world runs on daisies and sunshine or something..." He added.

"That, would be unlikely." Hypno said as he moved another chess piece, knocking out one of his other self's.

"You don't say?!" He spurt out with a snort. "Uggh, my point is that i'm pretty sure that this pony abandoned you like the rest."

"Don't be a pessimist." Hypno replied.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"You're not... Hungry, are you Clocks?" he asked, with a mixture of fear and anticipation. He'd heard that getting bit by a vampire was a... Different experience. Some ponies said it was pleasant, so ponies said it felt like being drained, and some ponies said it was like blood letting. He was curious.

[Chickey 383]

"Nah, i have an endless supply of drunk mares at any time i want." Clocks said he began to look around the area. "It's one of my secrets to success" He said carelessly like it was nothing. He didn't seem to have any respect for anyone, not even the ones who paid him money.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly sighed, slightly disappointed. Not today. A mare for everyday of the week. Not bad for a vampire, unless he's as, well, gay as I am. Then you look for both. Does he know that I'm bi, I wonder... He sighed, studying his knife and testing it's sharpness. It seemed sharp enough to let blood; sharp enough to kill somepony.

"Oh, well I made some coffee so if you want some I can levitate some up to you" Blaze said as a friendly gesture. Blaze did not know how Carrick liked his coffee so he just levitated some black coffee up to Carrick.

 

Blaze heard Daeva say "Good afternoon?" as if asking a question.

"Afternoon? No I would say it is roughly 10:00am right about now. But don't quote me on that, I am still used to Canterlot time." Blaze said

Blaze went back to sipping coffee and reading his book.

[Chickey 383]

Clocks was slightly surprised at Quickly's reaction. He killed and injured party-goers daily and he didn't seem to really take too much notice of it. "A heartless person such as myself knows how to get things though. In fact all of us vampires do, in our own special way. Me, charm and money. Shadow, force and magic. Hypno, persuasion and insanity. In the end we're all soulless monsters." He explained. "Fire is just an idiot though." He added.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

"It's not that, so much as the fact that I hear stories about the way it makes ponies feel. I've heard a lot of them, and none of them coincide. I kind of want to know what it feels like. I can't really get anypony to suck on me though. Shadow says I smell bad." He shrugs.

[Chickey 383]

"Well, dat does officially top it as one of da weirdest things I've heard." Clocks said "But, you are right, the magic of it makes it pleasant sometimes, so they don't panic or scream. Well, that's at least what i think" Clocks explained as he kicked back and tried to relax.

[NinjaCPU 270]

"We're not far from Canterlot." Carrick replied as he took the levitated black coffee. He swirled it around with his hoof and took a sip. The caffeine gave Carrick a soft boost of energy. I placed the object on the ground. It was a certain type of book. "I've found something down over in Fluttershy's Cottage. Seems like she had some type of diary with her."

[Chickey 383]

Shadow finally picked up the scent of the group, and began to follow it with Hypno on his back, and the group following him. A tree house finally came into view. Shadow sighed and picked up a rock with magic and chucked it at the wall of the tree house hard enough to make a noise to alert whoever was inside.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly sighed, "It's more of a forbidden fruit kinda thing. I know no vampony really wants to bite me, so I always have to wonder. I told Hypno once he could suck my blood when we ran out of blood. He went insane and still refused. I think they may have double-dipped me..."

[Chickey 383]

"Doubled.... dipped? In what, ketchup?" Clocks asked stupidly. "Yeah, dat does defeat the purpose sometimes. It would put a vampire off for some guy to ask them to bit em. We're hunters, not the charity." He said "Hypno a lot of times asks people he trusts if they'll be willing to 'donate' to him"

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Quickly chuckled, "Clocks, I'm salted. When I was a foal, instead of having cake for my birthday, I got pieces of magic-charge wood to make a weapon- that cross bow. I was encouraged to participate in the blood-letting ritual to strengthen the seals on our fortifications. And before that, I was bathed in a solution called salt. It make it impossible for me to turn into a vampire, taste like the ocean, and apparently smell bad."
