private Vampires in Equestria

[arkman575 312]

Seth looked to the room where bliss was now, a cold expression locked on his face. He was happy for her safety, but knew she was still in danger. No matter if she did fully recover... The treat loumbed. The vampires were only going to get closer to their goal. He needed to figure this profecy out and stop them.

 

Blood moon. It was obvious: the melelnial blood moon Luna hosted as a sign of respect for all of the fallen over the genorations.

 

The vampire king/queen: he wasn't sure which it was, but it mostly involved a resorection... That would require some heavy magic. Everything in pony land has something to do with magic, right?

 

But where... The thought of the everfree kept coming to mind. But what was it tying to? As he thought, a single image began to emurge from his mind: a ruin.

 

"That's it..." He muttered to himself, it finally making seance (or a bit more). "They are headed to the everfree to perform the ritual." As he thought this, he felt a bit of releaf as to finall figure it out and that bliss was slightly less likely to be the target. Now he just had to wait for bliss. The wolf sat on a chair in he lobby, catching some well desurved sleep.

Badaboom's own happy expression quickly diminished as Breezy became obviously agitated, and seemingly at Boom herself. This brought on her own wave of confusion and strangely enough a sense of guilt. She simply thought that she was lending a hoof around the flight strip, and now it seemed as though her efforts have been cast aside as an inconvenience. Badaboom didn't respond to the other mare, there wasn't really much she could say before Breezy escorted Sidewinder away from Atlas and herself to the hanger.

 

Waiting until she was certain the other two had left Badaboom turned to Atlas. "You know? I'm fairly certain that Breezy just doesn't want her Sides leaving her so soon. I bet Sidewinder wouldn't mind sticking around for awhile either, though neither of 'em will come out with it. You can cut the emotion between them with a knife." BB seemed almost pouty at this point, however composed herself with a smile moments later. "So, seeing as they dipped. What you wanna do? Gotta be something you like doing as a time passer" Boom questioned blinking her lime eyes at her remaining Pegasus friend, forgetting that she was just previously granted the ability to read farther into her book.

Atlas bit his lip. He could have waited but he just had to interrupt Sidewinder and his friend. Oh well. The deed was already done. He couldn't tell what Boom was getting at with Sidewinder and Breezy then again he was hardskulled sometimes.

"A time passer?" Atlas opened his mouth with a smile to answer but stopped. He really didn't have anything. He was always on the move and he never really had anyone with him.

 

"Write letters to friends and family. Sharpen my knife. Play solitaire by myself. Write in my journal. Research the item I had just found in some ruins" His activities to pass the time were in short boring to anyone not him. He imagined Boom listened to music or something of the sort.

"Yeah, I know I'm boring... You want to do anything? I'm game for whatever you throw at me" Out of the back of his mind something hit him. He knew almost nothing about BB except she was a vampire, she was from Ponyville, and she was a DJ. 

"I know my mother always told me not to ask a lady her age but how old are you exactly?" He was expecting some ludicrous

 number like three hundred years old or something. 

"It's fine if you don't want to say. So you got anything to do?"

-- Dreaming --

 

She frolicked around a wavy version of her home outside Ponyville at her mushroom house. The spring flowers of blue and pink and orange had just come into bloom. She smiled at them, grateful that she planted them just in time for the spring, and they came out perfectly. She went to them out in the open field to get a better inspection of them. Soon though...as she reached the flowery landscape...they all seemed to shrivel back in fear of her.

 

 

"What? Why are you fearing me flowers...? I planted you..." she approached them again, reaching a hoof to a lapiz colored blue bonnet. As her golden hoof touched one of its soft petals...it reacted violently to her...sheding its beautiful natural blue color, and turning a venomous blood red. She stepped back in horror as the rest of the flowers seemed to respond to the bonnet's reaction...and all around her, the fields turned red...

 

Her home seemed to deminish into a faded black abyss, leaving only the black and red flowers surrounding her as a landscape.

 

"Why is this happening!?" She cried out as she crouched down, hugging herself into a ball of her own fear.

 

"Why not...dear sister?" The familiar demonic voice echoed all around her...it was a poisonious...shrewed, and lusting voice...so different from her own. It slowly materilized into a tall figure...so similar to Bliss in her own, but the alicorn of her dark impulses was nothing like her at all. She was tall, a light grayness to her fur...Her highlights were'nt of the the rainbow colors, but of different shades of red and pink. Her hooves were as red as the blood flowers that surrounded them...and her horn, longated and sharp pointed.

 

"Blight..." Blissh pulled herself out of her fear, turning it into anger, appalled that once again...her evil impulse sister, Blight...had come back once again to invade her mind. "You aren't here... I got rid of you... I banished you to where you properly belonged!"

 

"Yes you did, oh how I loathed you for doing so as well... Do you have any idea how annoying it is, to be trapped in a place...where you have no control?" She stompped her hoof towards Bliss, crushing a flower while doing so, "To be...nothing! Nothing but the darker impulses of a weaker being!"

 

"If I'm weak, then how did I banish you?" She smiled mocking at the taller version of her evil self.

 

"You had help... if I recall, but Princess Cadence, you forget I see what you see...Just as I see the coming prophecy..." She smiled and glared up into the darkness of skies. "Can't you feel it coming Lightning Bliss...can you feel my poweress...finally coming back in full force... Soon the prophecy will be forfilled...and I shall take my rightful place in this body...as ruler of all vampires..."

 

"You won't get the chance Blight... I already know of the prophecy... I will find a way to stop it." Bliss's horn began to glow as her ears darted back in ready to fight.

 

"You can't stop our fate Bliss...Esepcially with the courage and strong will of Boom...She wants this prophecy to happen, she just doesn't know it. But you will see soon enough...When she finally takes your body...and absorbs the power that has kept me trapped in your mind...I will finally be released...destroy her and all her followers...Oh it will be glorious once i conquor all of Equestria...and I drown it in a river of blood!"

 

"SILENCE YOU CUR!" Bliss suddenly shot a violent powerful rainbow beam at the evil impulse, sending her back into the abyss, the evil and hate of her subconcious. The flowers shook for a second, but returned back to their normal colors, along with the sky and her dreamy like home...like nothing happened. "It won't happen...not while I'm alive..."

 

"Give it time dear sister..." was the last of Blight's words she heard.

[Bada3oom Box 77]

Boom flinched at Atlas's past times, more specifically, the sharpening of his knife. The meer mentioning of it brought on a flash back of the night previous. This was indeed the same pony that just recently tried killing her, and now she's having casual conversations without a second thought. If it wasn't obvious she was a very trusting pony, and kept to her word. With that she cast the negative thoughts aside and nodded in agreement on the lack of excitement in the Pegasus's hobbies, though excitement wasn't everything. At least he liked to keep in touch with those close to him, and persisted with his life's goals.

 

In preparation to respond against his passive switch on what to do, Badaboom was however caught off guard by his questioning her age. "If it interests you. I'm nineteen." She replied with a devilish grin. "As for what to do? I guess small talk for now is becoming more and more intriguing to me. The question game if you will. Boring enough for you as well, haha." Boom joked.

 

"I mean if you really want to start over what better way than to actually get to know each other?" Her rhetorical question was quickly followed by her first in a line of planned many. "Keep things simple for starters. I'll bounce yours right back at ya. How old are you?" She inquired with truly interested expression as she took a seat on her BoomBox, which rested in the small pile of snow that was spared the line of fire below it.

"Oh, I was expecting you to be some huge number like two hundred years old" He breathed mental sigh of relief. He wasn't dealing with some ancient elder vampire. "I'm twenty-three"

 

He didn't look his age. His line of work didn't exactly help with that. He had a number of scars around his body the most notable on his leg giving his limp which hadn't, for once, caused him any problems on the hike down which Atlas had failed to notice. 

 

He got a smile on his face. His voice was casual and normal "Born in Cloudsdale. Live there for my whole youth. Left the house as soon as I turned eighteen. I was a bit cocky and stupid then" Still am. He talked about it as if he was telling a story to his nonexistent grandchildren. "I signed up for the guard looking for action and adventure. Served for four years and got out as soon as I realized there was nothing they could give me I wanted. That's when I began to begin what I do now: go around the world collecting artifacts, many magical, and researching ruins and texts" He caught himself about to go on a unstoppable rant. 

"Sorry. Didn't expect to start up like that. So where do you preform? I've never exactly heard of you then again I don't listen to beat boxing"

[Bada3oom Box 77]

Badaboom lowered her eyes sarcasticly, at Atlas's assumptions regarding her age. Do I really seem that old? she thought to herself with disbelief. However she found her positioning immediately following his response to his own age being above her own. Sure he may have looked above that of twenty-three, but it was more as a humorous answer she was looking for. The Pegasus took the liberty of answering her next line of questions. Like most Pegasai she had met he was born in Cloudsdale, against her assumptions of Canterlot.

 

Atlas's clarification that he had joined the guard, as in royal guard, canceled her next question as to how he became tied into the capital city. Badaboom absorbed the information given to her, however given his peculiar way of explaining it gave her opportunity to sneak in a question regarding the subject. "Action and adventure? And thusly you became an archeologist?" Sure the answer was simple enough to disregard. Spelunking into untapes caverns, and ancient ruins was indeed worthy if being called an adventure, to those unfamiliar with such things.

 

Badaboom however dispite her age was well informed much of the average pony's life experiences. She was indeed fascinated by the seemingly inevitable rant in which Atlas would have delighted to display. She was again caught off guard by his next question to her, and to her liking, this particular pony had his way with words, and could throw them about carelessly without repercussion.

 

"I've actually been all around Equestria, but focus mainly in the Kingdom of Friendship, that is Ponyville, and surrounding areas to outsiders, which I don't take you as one. I'm actually surprised you haven't heard of me." She replied calmly readying her next question. "What you may have heard me spit is meer rubish compared to my actual performance lyrics." She informed happily. "So the Royal guard is what started your adventure into dark and unforgiving ruins, huh? Have you the priviage to meet Princess Celestia or Luna on a personal level?" Badaboom questioned if not out of sheer curiosity.

[Firehearted 120]

@@Bada3oom Box, 

"Me joining the guard didn't start my wanting to adventure. What do you think my cutie mark means? Joining the guard was just me looking for more adventure. I hated the guard. Too orderly. I remember sitting in front of the Royal Palace for whole days having to keep a straight face while tourists pestered me. I got out as soon as I could" He face showed his disgust with guard work. 

 

"Yes, I have meet the royal sisters. On a personal level, no. It was business. They were very polite though. The whole time I was with them they treated me like I was some ambassador. They got my career off the ground. As soon as the Canterlot folk heard I had had a job from THE Princesses they were all over me as was the Royal Museum. Everypony up there is a pompous bastard save the Princesses and a few others. They ought to have whiplash with there noses in the air so much. I can't stand the place. One moment the are gushing over you and the next are gossiping about you over some stupid thing" He waved his hoof around for emphasis.

"Sometimes I want to strangle every one of them!" Atlas's disdain for the Canterlot rich and their attitude was almost as high as his love for exploring the unknown.

The wolf lied on the chairs in the lobby, motionless. However he was not asleep. If anything, he was the exact opposit. Seth's heart was racing to the point where he could hear it. His mind was filled with different thoughts, most felt like they were not his own. Voices in his head were chantin out different conversations, unclear to the canine. His breath was erratic as he tried to understand what was plaguing him.

 

His mind went blank when a lone nurse touched his shoulder. Sitting up, Seth looked to the frightened pony, who at this point was trembling. "Y-yes?" He wolf asked, unsure why she was so scared.

 

"I-I was wondering if you wanted keep Bliss company when she came around... Are your eyes usually red?" She asked, less feared, but still scared.

 

"Red?" The rather stressed wolf asked, unsure what she meant. Standing up, he walked over to the restroom to get a better view of himself. As he walked, began to notice the voices returning as well as the unexplained thoughts. When he looked in the bathroom mirror, his jaw dropped. What once was one green eye and one rainbow eye were now two dark red eyes. Upon future examination, it was as if his eyerises were... Liquid. They had no defined shape or patern. It almost seemed they were formed from blood. "What's happening to me?..." He asked no one in particular.

 

Looking to his paws, he remembered the venom. The glass had shattered and it was now in his blood. He was turing again. Looking back up, he noticed the redness begin to drains from his eyes as the normal freak and rainbow began to return. This only panicked him more.

 

Exiting the restroom, he quickly trotted to the recovery wing where bliss was sleeping. He knelt at her bedside and took her hoof in his paws. "Bliss..." He whispered to the unconscience body. "I'm sorry... But I can't protect you... I-I'm one of them, bliss. It's only time till i attack." As he said this, a tear formed in his eye. He sorrow-filled wolf bowed before the goddess, knowing only one thing: he couldn't trust himself.

The medication kept her quiet and drowsy...and inspite of the horroific nightmare, whether it was real or not...didn't stop her from hearing Seth's panic, saddening words. She turned to her side, her eyes flickered trying to open, but all she could see was a blurry image of her furry friend.

 

She reached a hoof out to Seth, trying to touch his muzzle, to give him some hope that it would be ok. But her limbs went weak and numb...the medicine was doing it's job well. She could herself getting better, her lungs didn't hurt anymore and her nose wasn't as runny...but it would be another 24hrs before she could fully rise again. Still...she knew what this meant from Seth...he would leave her there...alone...the only way to protect her from him.

 

"S-Seth?" She whimpered to him under her groggy sleep, "don't...leave..." She fell back asleep...hearing the familiar, taungting laughs and mocks of Blight as she went.

[Bada3oom Box 77]

"Oh? Sorry I asked." Badaboom replied to Atlas's obvious distain towards the capital city, however her tone was still one of humorous intent. She knew full well what the Pegasus was going on about, she had one to many trips to Canterlot herself, and in all honesty could express the same emotions towards the place. Still in a playful mood Boom went on. "You might get your chance sooner than you think, eh?" Perhaps this last line went a little far, but she wasn't actually serious about it.

 

Atlas didn't really give out another question, excluding his Cutie Mark which Badaboom hadn't taken seriously. Either the subject through him off track or he really didn't have much to ask Boom. Regardless it didn't bother Boom in dropping the reintroductions, she had full confidence that the freshly turned Pegasus wouldn't try anything stupid again.

 

Stretching her hooves up in a yawn Boom looked past her friend in the direction that Seth had ran off. She didn't know why, but she felt an odd concern for Lightning Bliss, she really didn't seem in the best condition. The thought of checking up on her crossed her mind, but with Atlas's still craving blood barely beyond his control she figured it best to leave well enough alone, for now at least.

 

Without warning BB lifted her BoomBox up over her shoulder and began walking towards the building in which they'd be staying. She did look over her shoulder back to Atlas motioning him to follow if he desired. "Well even if they get the plane ready. I'm sure they don't want to be separated just yet. Probably best to wait until morning before we even start thinking about heading to, Caaanterlot." Boom suggested sarcastically elongating their destinations name with a wave of her free front hoof accompanied with a risen snout.

[arkman575 312]

Seth slowly looked up to the mare when she spoke. He wanted to believe that he could stay and protect the princess... But he would be a hypocrit for doing just that. He was the threat now, he wolf couldn't deny it. The one thing he could do now was run and keep Lightning safe. That was the only choice... Wasn't it?

 

However, where would he go? He could just run aimlessly for a day or two, but he would turn eventually. He could go back to the airport and fight off he vampires as a way to slow their inevitable goal. Either way, he was going to turn. He just couldn't have bliss near him when he did.

 

Taking her hoof in his hand, he brought it up to his lips and kissed it lightly before departing. With saddened eyes and a cold expression, he left the hospital, enrute for the airport, revenge on his mind.

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

The last she heard was the door closing behind him...and a tear dripped down her cheek as sleep came over her once more.

 

-- Dreaming again --

 

No longer in the green spring field of where her mushroom home located...She sat in the blacken abyss, with only a small circle of rainbow light holding her in place, powered by her own mental strength. She was depressed...sadden...and above all, feeling very much alone.

 

"This is so sad...isn't it?" Blight asked, re-emerging from Bliss's subconcious once more, "he didn't even bother to wait for you to wake up to properly say goodbye? Dwaah...I thought you two were pals?"

 

Bliss merely shrugged and turned away as Blight encircled her, trying to get in front of her face.

 

"I really do feel for you, gosh I really do," Blight said in sarcasm, "it must be so hard to be with a friend who's so ashamed of you...That he'd abandon you here at a lonely mountain hospital."

 

In that moment, Bliss's eyes flickered with a hint of red...not of blood, but a blind filled rage...Seth would never leave her if he didn't think it was the right thing to do...and she knew that... And this vile entity of her mind, that somehow has remerged from her mind...was mocking that friendship they had. She couldn't stand it any longer. She stood up slowly, tears dripping from her eyes, as she turned to face her taller, dark twin...

 

"ERRRRRAHHHHHHHHHH!" Bliss whinnied outloud and flung all her anger into one powerful rainbow beam of magic, catching Blight completely off guard.

 

"What?? AHHHHHHHH!!!" The vampire spirit was hit head on by the vengeful blast, being thrown back into the endless mind abyss, till she skidded to a stop, tossing the beam attack to her side. She clutched her chest, checking for injuries. Once she realized she was alright, she snarled and looked up. "Oh...did I strike a nerve Princess?"

 

"SHUT UP AND FIGHT YOU CUR!" Bliss whinnied and charged at Blight, her horn down like a battering ram.

 

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Blight whinnied back and charged forth in return, both their heads and horns colliding in a vicious headbutt.

Entering building C, Badaboom lowered her music player to be resting on the floor at the foot of her bed, where she took a seat. Leaning over to shuffle through her saddlebags to find her book she relieved it from her hiding spot. "Hmm, surprised they kept it's condition." She began to think out loud. "Blissy sure seemed defensive over reading it though. Or the lack there of." She added in a cross of questioning and sarcasm.

 

Badaboom flipped through the pages to where she was once unable to read. However now the words where crystal clear. Not accompanied by a glowing magical red light this time, but no less strange. Boom decided to take her time in reading the text, rather than mearly skimming through it like last time. Had she missed something that got Lightning Bliss so worked up?

 

"The Legend of the BloodMoon Princess," Badaboom read the title of the chapter with mild distain. Needless to say she wasn't terribly fascinated with 'legends.' Reason being is that they to her were works of fiction trying to be pushed as seen once true. Ironic considering her entire race was considered either legend or non-exsistant altogether, perhaps that's why she subconsciously held resentment towards legends in the first place.

 

Lightning Bliss however seemed to believe the chapter entirely, enough to fluster her into near hysteria. "On the night that the full Moon shades to that of red, lingering in the center dripping down it's light. The predestined Pure Blooded Princess shall take her place as ruler once more. When the blood of a Royal Alicorn is drained, and life force sacrificed. The BloodMoon Princess will call forth the Vampire race from the confinds of Tartarus. Breaking their eternal banishment, all shall look to the Savoir to be lead in reclaiming the lands, and formar glory all together." Boom couldn't help but roll her eyes, before continuing to read on. "With the appearance of the savior there will be a Devil, one to challenge the Princess in her right to rule. The Vampire Lord will emurge from that of the f-"

 

A searing red light accompanied by an obnoxiously loud crash, that could best be described as scream in unison with that of a terrifying roar. The light pressed on Boom's body with a physical like tendancey shoving her violently from her bed onto the floor nearly on the opposite side of the room. Landing on her rump with a disgruntled "umph" Badaboom glared back at her levetaing book with a confused expression. She waited for the light to subside and the book itself to decend onto the sheets of the bed before picking herself back up.

 

Shaking her head Boom pressed back towards the exit. "Jeeze, fine I get it ya wanna keep your secrets." She winnied her response feeling a little silly it was directed towards a book. This was the second time today that her book had acted magically. Which got her to start wondering if there could be truth behind the texts within.

Seth had been running across the tundra for the second time now. He didn't know why he didn't feel tired, but he had the rage to drive him on. This had to end before it started. It couldn't end like last time... He failed last time...

 

'Failed to kill those who would apoase him.' A thought shot through his head. He shook it off, knowing it's' oregen.

 

Finally, he arrived at the airstrip. Without even a panting breath, he looked around. "BOOM!" He barked out, making himself heard throughout the compound. "Show yourself!"

Atlas still outside now thinking about other things than his new forced lifestyle was caught of guard by the sudden arrive of the wolf.

"BOOM"

He heard Seth's voice rumble. Whatever he was thinking was wiped clear of his mind. Why was Seth ere again? Shouldn't he be with Lighting Bliss? This can't be good. Atlas came out into full view for the wolf.

 

"What do you need, Seth?!" Atlas called from a distance. "Go to Lighting Bliss! Leave us alone!"

 

Thoughts of blood once again filled his mind. His mildly successful attempt to ignore the impulse had enough success for him not to run and pounce on the wolf yet enough to shake him slightly. 

 

Different thought hit him. Maybe Lighting Bliss was dead. That was pretty bad hypothermia. He wanted revenge for her death... But if anything he had killed her. He, Atlas, had told her to run into the blizzard. No. She had to run. It was that or getting attacked by Boom.

"YOU WRETCHED EVIL-" Bliss snorted as she bucked at the invisble grounds of her mind, trying to push back against her taller adviorsary. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK ABOUT ME AND SETH THAT WAY! I WON'T STAND FOR IT!"

 

"Yes that's right fight!" Blight whinnied back sarcastically, enjoying the thrill of the fight, "fight and deny the truth! Admit it Bliss! He left you because you were weak and useless! You're just too scared to say so! But if I were in this body... he'd love me...he'd cherish me...because I am strong...fearless...and-"

 

"A blood thristy monster that will never stop DRINKING!" Bliss pulled back and reared into the air, shooting another rainbow beam at her opponant. "You will never take this body over again because it is MINE! And you are a part of me! And as the Alicorn of Peace I won't let a mindset of anger, thirst of death...and evil...to take me over!"

 

"Still denying the obvious..." Blight merely shielded herself from the rainbow blast, throwing it away and slowly walked towards her obviously tired sister, "Seth ran away because he knows he's a threat to you...and that you're too weak to defend yourself. He's really just delaying the inevitable truth though."

 

"Oh? And what truth is that!" Bliss snorted and panted at the same time.

 

"The prophecy of course... Whether he commits it or BoomBox does, regardless of who... It will happen...It's already happening right now!" She threw her head back and laughed hysterically.

 

"You lie! It isn't happening and it never will!" Bliss reared and slammed her hooves down in retaliation. "You're just messing with my head!"

 

"Fool... look at yourself..." she smiled and walked around her, "You can't even control my presence anymore...Do you know why? Because destiny has made you this way...Weak, cold and alone...You think getting sick was a matter of chance? The prophecy made you this way...so you'd be easy prey for the one who's destine to release me...You are sick because it's your destiny...You cannot fight what is to come. Soon, you'll be hunted down, laid to the ground...and your lifeforce and powers absorbed...Oh it will be a wonderous thing...I can feel it now..." she stopped and sat down, stretching her neck out, "freedom...Freedom of this caged mind...free to do as I please...to drink as much as I want."

 

"You lie...you are just saying this to let my guard down..." Bliss shook in fear knowing she wasn't believing her own words.

 

"Heh, you're boring me now. It will happen regardless of what you think. Go on and deny yourself... I'm going to be resting back in your mind now...waiting for the sign...Untill then, goodbye sister..." Blight smiled and disappeared...

 

"BLIGHT! Come back here! Wake up! Wake up!"

 

-- Dream ends --

 

"Wake up your Highness, wake up!" The nurse white earth pony encouraged the small mare out of her nightmare. "Your Highness, bad dreams again?"

 

Bliss darted her eyes open, still weak from being ill, but regardless felt somewhat better. Her fever was down some but not fully to normal, and there was a clear sign her cough was still there, but it was under control. "I'm...I'm ok..." she answered the nurse.

 

"Do you want something to help you sleep?" The nurse asked, not feeling confident in the alicorn's words.

 

"No please...I've...I've slept enough..." Bliss lowered herself back to her pillow, whimpering quietly.

Just as she was pushing the door open back to the outside, Boom stopped as she heard her name ring through the entire compound, and it wasn't a friendly voice. Though it was easily distinguished belonging to Seth. For a fleeting moment she contemplated simply walking out with a nonchalant smile to greet the wolf, but something told her otherwise. Badaboom took a couple paces back before returning to her bed as to hide her book. Not thinking it was the work of literature that was now in danger it was more for procrastination, and her own well-being.

 

Slowly Badaboom pressed through the door but didn't venture too far away from it. She could see Atlas had already taken the front line, and decided to leave it at that for now. If Seth's intention was a violent one she'd still be his obvious target. Hanging back seemed the safest action, for now at least. Badaboom herself was yet to make herself fully known by not giving a verbal response, yet she still felt her presence was known.

[arkman575 312]

Seth looked to the winged pony, his fangs bared. "Step. Aside." He growled, his eyes reddening. He wanted justice for bliss's suffering. If she was to escape, he needed to slow them down. Death (or the closest thing to death vampires could get) would be satisfy.

 

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a door open to reveal Boom. His eyes flared with anger, slowly advancing on her. Atlas didn't matter, just Boom. "You..." The wolf growled, his eyes now purely red. "You caused this to begin... You condemned them to eternal hell on earth and nearly caused the death of Lightning Bliss! Give me a reason I shouldn't kill you where you stand!" He yelled, still advancing.

[Bada3oom Box 77]

Badaboom held a serious face as the wolf nearly instantaneously pressed towards her, eyes filled with a hatred to her that was still unknown. Even after his accusations, the only one she could personally find to hold merit was she had started it, and only in this particular vactions incident. Boom was about to try and convey her innocense once more to the wolf when she finally caught sight of his altered eye color. Is he turned? she questioned mentally wondering just how it was possible.

 

The sudden remembrance of Seth's vile that he wore around his neck flashed to the front of her mind. However she didn't have the time to self reflect on 'what to dos' as he was nearing her rather rapidly. Putting on a weak smile and waving a hoof passively to the side she shrugged. "You know? For the life of me I can't recall putting Lightning Bliss in danger. Especially her current condition. That's all on you, pup." Badaboom daringly remarked sarcastically to the progressing canine.

 

Quickly following her statement she took up a lowered defensive stance in the snow, but still held her crooked toothy grin. Just to press the wolf's anger she persisted with the few seconds she had. "And it seems you've took the liberty of granting yourself the same fate, eh? Do something now and your a hypocrite. However if ya wanted to join the club again ya coulda asked." Badaboom knew that she was taking a much more dangerous route around her current predicament, but she was put on the spot, and her patience with all these assumptions and accusations was wearing equally dangerously thin.

Atlas watched as a the beginnings of a fight unfolded in front of him. 

"Hey now. We don't need a fight. We all just want to be on our ways. Now isn't the time to do something we'll regret much later" Both Boom and Seth were ready to fight. Atlas stepped in between the two hopefully not becoming a shield later. 

His eyes. They were a blood red. How had he turned? Not good. He wasn't here for revenge. He was here to take them down with him.

 

"Seth. Leave now. We don't want trouble. Fighting us won't help anything. Not Lighting Bliss or anyone else" Atlas had slowly approached Seth all the while. "No use crying over spilled milk. What has been done has been done. If you're here to avenge me and Sidewinder I ask you don't. We're fine more or less. If you are attacking us out of spite please don't. Once again it will help no one"

 

While he talked Atlas formed a backup plan. Should Seth attack him Atlas may be able to overpower him but probably not. If he was turned he would stronger than him. The only thing Atlas could do was dodge and get behind the wolf giving him a chance to knock him out with a good hit to the head which could also fail. 

 

Atlas stood his ground in front of the wolf blocking him from Boom.

[Lightning Bliss 1,674]

"*Coughs loudly* Nurse? Water...please?" Bliss whimpered as she held her empty water cup.

 

"Of course your Highness," the white earth pony with the pink cross cutiemark entered, pouring a glass quickly. "How are you feeling? You still look very pale..."

 

"I feel better now that I'm here but...I don't...understand why...*coughs* not improved as much other then..." her eyes seemed to go glassy for a moment.

 

"Princess Lightning Bliss?" The nurse shook her back to normal, "it's ok...just stay calm. The doctors have taken a bit of your blood to assess what could be causing this strange bug you have... Far as we can tell it's the flu...however all of our efforts to treat your syptoms to make you feel better...they seem to keep getting recountered by whatever you have... You are stabled however."

 

"Stabled...*coughs again* ...does this mean I'm stuck here...?" Bliss moaned at the nurse.

 

"For the time being your Highness...Your doctor here insists you stay in bed. Leaving now and you could easily collapse at any time, spurting your fever back on and all...I'm so sorry...Is there...sompony you'd like me to contact perhaps?"

 

Bliss laid there for a moment, staring down her nose and pondered the thought of contacting her husband Nights Hoopla...but...he was out of dimensional space, visiting the lands of the draconequus to see his parents...Then she thought of Seth, and the poltential of somepony finding him...but she knew that was too risky of an endevor, for the messenger who finds him as well as herself.

 

"I...suppose not...I just...I just want to go home...Is there any way I can be released today?" She sat up, only to cough outloud, clutch her chest and fall back on her pillows once more.

 

"Please your Highness...stay in bed... I'll let you know when I get word from the doctor about your condition." She gently pulled the covers over the white alicorn and turned to shut her door and turn the lights off. "Try to get as much rest as you can your Highness."

 

Bliss nodded and sighed as the lights were turned off, and once again, alone with her thoughts. One thing was for sure, she wasn't going to sleep for a few more hours at least.

Seth's eyes seemed to glow red with fury. Stepping forward more, he stared down at Atlas. "This is not your fight, weakling!" He growled, lashing out at him, throwing the pegasus aside with much strength.

 

Still advancing, The wolf growled deep in his throat, sounding not like a wolf, but for a beast condemned to hell. "How dare you blame me for the falling of Bliss, you pathetic excuse for a fledgling! You do not know he powers you try to control. You say you are powerful, yet oh let fresh blood leave your grip. You do not know what it is to be a true vampire is! The constant craving of blood. You are pathetic!" He barked out, his elongated fangs bared.
