Chapter 3
"You aren't scientifically possible!"
-Twilight Sparkle

Her father had been wrong about the vamponies. It had been quiet for weeks, but Celestia would not sleep; keeping a close eye out for potential vampony, most of the time she would scare most of the workers to death when she would leap out of hiding and attack them, only to find out that they weren't any threat.
She worked out to get to top physical fitness and used an axe that one of the castles lumber-stallions, actually one that Celestia was quite fond of.

'His name was Jack, he was a year or two older than I, but we still enjoyed each others company. Recently we have been having afternoon lunches together during his break out in the gardens, and after that, I fell asleep on his lap from lack of sleep every time. He also taught me how to swing an axe, though him being an earth pony and I an alicorn, we had different methods of chopping, but I enjoyed every minute with him.'

Life went on. Months went by and nary a peep from the Vampony population. Then it happened; late December, news spread around the kingdom about a few abductions. A few foals from each race had been been kidnapped from their beds in the middle of the night.
Celestia had her mission, and she was fully intent on accepting it.

Celestia woke up early that morning. She crept down the dimly lit palace halls, eyes darting around. Finally, she came to he fathers chambers and creaked open the door. She stuck her head into the door way and looked in. Her father was awake, sitting on his bed.

'My father seemed to know what I was doing. I approached the bed.
"Are you going after those children?" he asked sadly without looking up.
"Yes." I replied.
"I don't want to have to bury another one of my family," he said, looking up.
"You won't have to."
"You aren't prepared," he replied sternly.
"I'm prepared enough!" I shot back.
We stood there, in silence for a brief moment.
"Fine," he finally said, "go, but please, for mothers sake, do not die, I will not have any more death in this family."
I looked at the frail shell of what used to be the strongest stallion of all equestria, what used to be a beacon of hope and saftey, what used to be my... Father.
I left him in silence.'

Celestia walked towards the main door of the castle. She stopped, hearing something; she was being followed. She unsheathed her axe and stood at the ready.
"You wouldn't hurt your own sister, would you?" said a voice that was not her sister. She got ready to strike, her assailant drawing near.
They finally appeared, to be her sister.
"Who was the voice?" Celestia asked her sister, confused, sheathing her axe.
"Unkey discorwd!" she exclaimed.
And at that Discord stepped out of nowhere, as he always did.
"Now here I was, thinking you were going to leave without saying goodbye," Discord said, jokingly.
Celestia smiled and ran over to hugged them both.
"I'll be back, don't worry." she told them.
"where are you gowing Tia?" Her sister liked to call her Tia a lot, it was cute most of the time.
"She's doing important business Luna, we should let her go." Discord said as he led Luna back to her chambers. He turned around and whispered, "Please be careful."
At that he and Luna disappeared into the darkness.
Celestia turned back towards the door, it opened, and she walked outside. The early December morning air felt cold against against her fur, there had been little snowfall so she woulden't have to trek through miles of snow, then again, she could fly, so she did.

'I had no idea of where to start, I first remember that I triangulated the three races to one spot in the middle where I deduced the vamponies prospered. As a filly, I was warned to never go in there, now I know why.'

That evil forsaken place was Everfree Forest.

Stalking through this unknown forest was unnerving for Celestia. She would go into immediate defense mode every time she heard a twig snap or some leafs rustle. Her horns glow would light the way as she quietly made her way to a river. Just before she reached the river, she froze and looked down. There were the bodies of the foals she was looking for, she shed a tear. Then she noticed somthing else, there was one foal missing.
Sadness was then replaced with anger and determination. She buried the foals and gave them a quick proper funeral.
When she got to the river, she saw a boat approaching, and there didn't seem to be a driver. She hid in the bushes at it got closer. Then, she heard a noise from behind her. She held her breath; the boat stopped and boarding plank extended. She dared to take a peak at the source of the noise.
It was a female Vampony with what Celestia knew to be the last of the missing foals, laying across her back, dead. Celestia fought back tears and continued watching, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The female went to the edge of the river and promptly dumped the foal in. Celestia could hold back no longer.
She jumped out, unsheathed her blades, wings at full span, and flew towards the Vampony.
The Vampony turned around and looked shocked, but then she smiled; her eyes turned black and her smile showed fangs. The Vampony lunged at Celestia and delivered a buck straight to the ribs, knocking her axe away and then turned around and kicked her in the face. Celestia fell out of the sky and landed on the boat. The creature then flew down at her but Celestia used all of her strength to roll and dodge the attack.
The Vampony hit the boat head on, and stood up dazed. Celestia saw a chance to strike, but her axe was far away and the Vampony had finally snapped out of it and picked Celestia up and brought her to the edge of the boat, and plunged her under water and held her there.
Celestia was loosing air and was about to black out when the assailant let go and she heard her scream, "Traitor!"
Then there was silence.
Celestia was lifted out of the water and dropped on the deck. The last thing she remembered seeing was the head of the Vampony, not attached to its body, then she promptly passed out.
