Chapter 1: Rude Awakening


“You can’t be serious!? This isn’t fair!”

“I am sorry, but what you did was something even I can’t let slide. Even if you are a child you must face severe punishment for you actions.”

“You expect me to let that fucker slide for what he did to me? He deserved to die for that, what sickens me is that you let him go with just community service.”

“Taking another pony's life is wrong, you of all ponies should know that.”

“Oh so it’s okay for a murder to walk free even after they kill lord knows how many ponies he or she killed?”

“Yes with certain exceptions.”

“You’re a fucking dumbass if you think ponies like them will ever change.”

“Be that as it may, this doesn't excuse you of what you did.” Celestia said as her horn glowed revealing the elements of harmony floating above herself.

“Seeing how the elements for some reason can’t turn you to stone, you will be put into a deep slumber until further notice or until the end of days.”

“Know this Princess of the Sun, When the day comes when someone wakes me from my eternal sleep, I will kill you and take everything that you hold dear to you away!”


(1,000 years later)

[Crystal Caves]

        “How long has it been since I enter into my sweet slumber? Five, six, maybe seven hundred years? Personally I kinda lost track of time, but I really don’t care. I was pretty much enjoying how peaceful and quiet it was wherever the hell I was sleeping.” The Vampire thought to herself, but was interrupted by a cackling laughter.

“HAHAHAHA! Yes! All is going according to plan!” said the mysterious voice as it’s laughter died after a few seconds.

“.......Okay…..anyway back to monologuing to myself, this was pretty much a perfect place for me to-.” Before Shalltear could think of anything else, she was once again interrupted by another mysterious but familiar voice.

 “You won’t get away with this Chrysalis! Twilight and the others will stop you!” yelled a soft voice full of anger.

“.......I’m getting the feeling I’m gonna be interrupted again aren’t I?” from what Shalltear can hear, she heard a door open up followed by the sound of footsteps and struggling.

“You were saying princess?” reply a mocking voice that just dripped with pride.

“Dammit and here I thought I could sleep for a few more years before waking up.”  Shalltear grumbled as she turned to her side.

“Now that I have your so called defender of Equestria there’s only one thing left to do.” Shalltear felt her coffin starting to shake a bit before having it shoot up from wherever it was along with her in it. A few seconds later Shalltear felt the coffin break through something hard before stopping.

“N-No it can’t be.” said the princess in fear.

“Oh yes my fallen princess, you remember Equestria’s greatest enemy of all time don’t you?” Asked Chrysalis.

“Maybe if I go back to sleep, I can stay asleep for a few more years?” The Vampire thought as light begin to floor her coffin.

“Now by giving her my blood. I Chrysalis summon you Shalltear Bloodfallen, The Bloody Valkyrie to kill my enemies and serve your new master and the hive!” Calls out Chrysalis as her drones tried to pull the lid open.

“........I can’t have a moment of peace to myself now can I?” Shalltear asked as she slowly open the lid to her coffin slowly. As she open the lid to her coffin, Shalltear covered her eyes from the sudden burst of light that hit her hard like someone hitting you with a water balloon. A few seconds later the vampire’s eyes started to adjust to the light in the room she was in. As her eyes adjust she could see six colorful and beat up humanoid like ponies tied up, a group of changelings with spears pointing at their throats, and a while alicorn who was inside a giant cocoon hanging from the ceiling.

“Who dares to find my resting place and waketh me from my sweet slumber?” Shalltear asked as she slowly staggered from her coffin.

“That would be me, my servant.” Shalltear turned her head to see what she could guess was this Chrysalis person that summoned her here. “I have summoned you here to do my bidding, and to serve me in taking over Equestria.”

“And who might you be changeling?” asked Shalltear in a bored tone.

“I am Chrysalis, queen of the changeling.” Chrysalis said as she smiles showing off her fangs.

“Okay.” The vampire yawned while rubbing her eyes. “So Chrysalis why is it that you summoned me?”

“As I said before servant I have summoned you here to serve me in taking over Equestria and our first step in taking over this land is to kill Celestia and the elements of harmony.” Chrysalis said pointing to the group of ponies in front of her.

“......Really?” Shalltear asked sounding even more bored than before.

“What do mean really?” asked Chrysalis confused by the Vampire question.

“You wake me up from slumber just to do something that you could’ve done yourself?” replied Shalltear as she rubs her eyes as she try to fight off another yawn.

“Your job as my servant is to do as you are told.” ordered the Queen as she glares at the vampire.

“I am no one’s servant, especially a poor excuse of a lazy ass queen who can’t do something that a child could do if he or she was mad or insane.” said Shalltear as she start to stretch.

“How dare you talk to your master that way child! I awoken you from your imprisonment, and this is how you show your respect for me?” yelled Chrysalis as she bear her teeth in anger.

“I only respect those with power, and seeing how you don’t have the power to do that.” Shalltear raised her hand as her weapon spuit lance appeared in it. “I can just kill you and leave without any trouble.”

“You little brat! I am Queen Chrysalis, queen of the changeling. What makes you think you can kill me?” The Queen commanded as two changeling guards stand by her side.

“Like this [Maximize Magic, Brilliant Radiance!]”In a blink of an eye a column of holy light appeared under chrysalis, only to engulfing the changelings next to her in radiant light. The light disappeared as it revealed only the changeling queen to be standing with a magical shield around herself. “Damn, guess my magic hasn’t recovered yet.”

“You’re gonna regret that child.” Chrysalis said as she barrier around herself slowly vanish.

“The one that’s going to be regretting is you for waking me from my slumber.” Shalltear raised her hand and pointed a finger at her. “Eat this [Maximize Magic, Vermillion Nova!]” Chrysalis was set on fire in an instant, but all the flames did was cause her little to no pain.

“Is that the best you can do? I seen foals that can do magic better than this.” Chrysalis dispelled the flames as she fried a magical beam of magic energy at the vampire. Only for Shalltear to summon a wall of stone to protect her from the attack.

“Dammit how much MP does she have? I better check [Mana Essence]” Shalltear’s eyes glowed scarlet red as she saw purplish aura surround Chrysalis like a robe, and to her surprise…..it wasn’t that much. “I can’t believe these ponies lost to this bug bitch, then again it comes to no surprise that they would.” The vampire moved from behind the stone wall again and fired an invisible shockwave towards Chrysalis. “[Force Explosion!]” She said as the shockwave hit the queen sending her flying into the wall of the room.

“I’m going to enjoy disciplining you once I finish knocking some sense into you.” Chrysalis said as she pulled herself and fired a beam at Shalltear’s shoulder, causing her to grab her shoulder from the pain she felt.

[Regeneration]” The wound on Shalltear’s shoulder healed up as good as new like nothing happen to her. “You’re gonna pay for that worm.”

“Good luck with that servant, with that kind of magic you have you couldn’t even beat a timberwolf pup.” Chrysalis said as she tried not to laugh at her.

“I’m just getting started worm, [Purifying Javelin!]” The moment Shalltear moved from behind the wall of stone, she fire a holy spear at the changeling queen. Chrysalis dodge the attack as she fired at the vampire again only for her to hide again behind the wall of stone.

“You missed!” Chrysalis called out with confidence getting ready for her next attack.  

“So you think, take a good look at the circle on your chest.” Asked the Vampire with a smile on her face.

“What do you me-?” Chrysalis was unable to ask her question as the lance of light pierced her chest. The spear vanish from the queen’s chest, as blood started to pour out of her like a fountain spewing water.

“Guess I’m getting some of my strength back, though I’ll still need some time before I’m at full strength.” Said Shalltear as she turned her attention at the dead body of Chrysalis as blood started to move from the ground, and formed an orb of green blood above herself. “Guess that’ll have to do until I find some more.” Shalltear then turn her attention towards the six ponies that were still tied up and the changelings who started to back up a bit. “If you changelings want to suffer the same fate as your queen, then I suggest you leave now and find yourselves a new queen that isn’t a tyrant.”

        Having saying that the changelings ran off from inside the room as they informed what happen to any other changelings as they ran off. Meanwhile as they ran off to lord knows where, Shalltear turn her attention back at the ponies still tied up. What got her attention the most was Princess Celestia hanging on the ceiling. “Well if it isn’t the bitch of the sun.”

That when something pink get right in Shalltear face with a huge smile. “HI! I’m Pinkie Pie! What's your name? Who are you? Why was you sleeping in the spooky box? Why did you put a hole in the Meany Queen, I didn’t like her but what you did was kind of not nice if you know what I mean. By the way do you like cupcakes.” Pinkie then hands Shalltear a cupcake with the word nice to meet you on it.

“My name is Shalltear Bloodfallen, I’m a vampire, that spooky box was my prison/bed, because I don’t like her and I don’t take orders from anyone. And I do like cupcakes.” said Shalltear as she take a bite out of the cupcake.

Pinkie Pie squealed as she then hugs the Vampire in a bear hug. Giggling as she bounces around the hall. “We’re going to have so much fun!” Said Pinkie as she let Shalltear go and ran out of the room.  

 

“Cute…..What was I doing again?” The vampire asked trying to remember what she was doing. Until a unicorn walked up to her and gasped. “Oh darling I just love your dress! Who made this lovely thing?" asked Rarity as she looking over every part of the Vampire dress.

“Oh this old thing? This was made by the finest seamstress from the Kirins in neighpon.” said Shalltear as she looks at her outfit brushing off some dust.

“Oh I just love it! You must come to my boutique, I’m sure I can make something that with go with your eyes. Oh! I almost forgot to introduce myself I am Rarity and I love making dresses!” said the white pony as she started to lead Shalltear out of the thrown room.

“As much as I would love to Ms. Rarity, but I have a little personally score to settle with a certain princess of the sun.” Shalltear said as she pointed her lance at the freed princess.

“Can’t we talk about this over some tea?” asked Rarity as she smile weakly.

“After I kill Celestia for imprisoning me for what happened to me years ago.” Shalltear then took aim with her lance.

“Umm what did she do?” asked a soft voice that was hiding behind Applejack. It was clearly Fluttershy as she peeked from behind her friend.

“.......I prefer not to talk about it…...ever.”

“Well can you do it after the wedding party? It going to be super fun.” said Pinkie Pie with a smile and a big cake saying ‘Thanks for saving us’ on it with lot of happy faces.

“.......*Sigh* Fine I’ll hold off with the killing of Celestia, you’re lucky I’m still weak from being asleep for about 1,000 years.”

“Wait, isn’t that the same time Nightmare Moons was in prison on the moon?” asked Twilight as she walks over to them. “Just how old were you?”

“I was 15 at the time.” Deadpanned Shalltear as she put the lance away. “So…….1,515 years old I think?”

“But how can you be this old without looking old? Only Alicorns can be that old, any other pony would of died of old age or natural causes.”

“That’s because I’m a vampire if you didn’t hear me answer Pinkie Pie’s question.” this caused almost everypony within the room to back up in surprise, besides Pinkie Pie.

“Y-You’re a vampony?” said Fluttershy who was still hiding behind Applejack.

“If I wanted to drink all of your blood then I would’ve done it by now, and don’t even think about trying to use some kind of spell. You saw what I did to Chrysalis and how fast I was moving, what make you think that you could stop me?”

“............”

“Whatever, it’s not like I care what you racist jerks think of me.” Shalltear begins to walk from in front of the six ponies towards the door. “Oh and Celestia.” Celestia turned her attention at the vampire. “Seeing how you’re weak and all from your embarrassed defeat, I’ll be helping myself to whatever it is that you have in this castle of yours. You don’t mind do you?”

“You most certainly not!” Celestia protested.

“I can, really? Thanks Celestia, you’re a real ‘true friend’.” with that the countess walked out of the room with a devilish smile on her face.

“Twilight, you and your friends must stop Shalltear before she cause any trouble in Canterlot.” Applejack and Rainbow Dash were the first to get in the countess way blocking the only exit out of the room.

“You're not getting past us missy.” Said Applejack as she stands her ground.

“Ya that right chump, just try and get past us!” Said Rainbow Dash as she flying in the air.

“......Really? Did you not see what I just did to the Changeling Queen? What makes you think you two can stop me?” The vampire asked as she cracked her neck.

“Well we may not have superpowers or can use magic but that won’t stop us from trying.” said the apple farmer with a smile.

“Ha! I can do that to.” Said Dash as she moves her neck then a sickening crack was heard. “OW MY NECK!” Applejack facepalmed at this.

“.........Equestria’s greatest heroes huh?” Shalltear thought while trying not to laugh. “I’ll give you an A for your bravery, but an F for not knowing the difference between the two of us. I would recommend you back down before I have to do something I really don’t want to do. Especially seeing how I’m hungry.” She said licking her lips. “I always wanting to taste rainbow and apple pie.”

“A-are you coming on to us?” asked Applejack with a blush as Dash was still crying out in pain.

“Maybe, then again after looking at how you two look I wouldn’t mind having you two as my servants.” Shalltear appeared in front of Rainbow Dash as she fixed her neck by cracking it again in the other direction.“There, better?”

“Much better.” Dash said going limp in Shalltear arms. “You have no idea how good that felt.”  

“I can only imagine.” She said sniffing her neck and was about to bite it, but was pulled back by Celestia’s yelling and Twilight magic. “Oh…..crap I almost bit her didn’t I?” Shalltear asked while giving off a sheepish smile. That when Applejack attacks with a powerful kick to Shalltear back but she didn’t move.

“What?!” yelled Applejack in surprise as she backs away.

“Just because I can’t use my magic to it’s fullest at the moment, doesn’t mean I’m weak to physical attacks like that.” Shalltear patted Rainbow Dash on her head before appearing in front of Applejack. “Though I have to say if you did that to me when I was 15 at the time that would’ve hurt me a lot.”

Before Shalltear could do anything Fluttershy lands in between them with both her arms and wings out to block her from Applejack. “Don’t hurt my friends.” She said so softly it was hard for anyone to hear her.

“Hey, your friends were the ones that attack me first, I was defending myself like anyone would having done if they were being attacked.” That when Shalltear looked into her eyes and felt fear for the second time in her life.

“I said don’t hurt my friends.” Fluttershy said sternly not taking her eyes off of the vampire.

“N-No.” Shalltear said as she started to back away from Fluttershy. “N-not again, not again.” She begins to shiver in fear while backing up even more.

“What’s going on?” Asked Twilight as she was watching this. “Why is Fluttershy stare working on her?”

“G-Get away from me! I’m not going to let it happen to me again!” tears flowed down from Shalltear’s face as she pushed Fluttershy out of the way, and ran off into the castle passing by two guard ponies along the way.

“Are you okay Shy?” Asked Dash as she fly over to help her friend up.

“I’m fine, thanks.” said Fluttershy as she get up.

“What I want to know girls is what did we just see? I mean she was just about ready to break down and cry her eyes out.” Said Rarity as she looks out the door.

“Maybe something horrible happen to her?” said Pinkie Pie. “Hey! Maybe Celestia might know why seeing how she and Shalltear know each other.” Celestia said nothing as she looked away with a look of guilt and shame on her face. “Is something wrong Celestia?”

“I’ll explain about what’s going on later, right now we need to get Shalltear before something bad happens.”

(Kitchen)

        Shalltear made her way into castle’s kitchen. Still panicking from what Fluttershy did, she tried to find a place to hide so she can recover and figure out a way to escape Canterlot castle and her pursuers. In her panic state of mind she was able to find a small dark space underneath the kitchen counter where she could hide in and gather her thought. “O-Okay Shalltear, just calm down and get your shit together. What happen to you years ago is over, and no one is trying to hurt you…...well besides Sunbutt and that cream colored pony with a pink mane.” she said as she slightly open the cabinet door to see if anyone was following her. Just as she did Twilight and Applejack entered into the kitchen.

“You sure she went in here sugarcube?” asked Applejack.

“I’m sure of it by the way she was acting it a safe bet that she going to go somewhere she feels safe and can hide. So where would I go with a lot of places to hide?” said Twilight as she walks in and opens a capnet then Pinkie pokes her head out of it.

“A kitchen!” Pinkie yelled making Twilight fall over. “Pinkie!” everyone yelled at the Pink mare as she giggled.

        

“Dammit, I don’t have time for this. If I get caught by those fools, then it’s back to my coffin for another long sleep. I gotta think of something fast.”

“Oh I hope she alright, I didn’t mean to scare her like that.” said Fluttershy as she jumps with a spoon hit the floor.

“Ya well when I find her I’m giving her a piece of my mind, the hard kind.” said Rainbow Dash as she flew around the kitchen.

“Yeah like you’ll be able to hurt me.” Shalltear thought as she open the door a little bit more. “Let’s see how well you fare against this [Summon Household.]” The vampire’s shadow started to stretch as a swarm of bats appear from out of it and headed toward the mane six.

As most of them screamed apart from fluttershy then the group of girls started to ran around trying to get away from the small winged horrors. “Girls calm down I’ve seen this kind of bat before all you to do is-”

“Let’s get out of here!” yelled Dash as she grabs Shy and flew out of the kitchen with the rest of their friends not far behind. Shalltear popped her head out from under the cabinet as she started to laugh from what she just heard and saw.

“That will teach you to mess with a vampire.”

“Yeah that was a funny prank.” said Pinkie standing next to her with a big smile.

“H-How the hell did you get here?” she asked jumping back a bit in surprise.

“Oh I took the train to get here with my friends then we walked.” Said Pinkie as she looks around. “Oh that right I’m supposed to make more cakes for the party later. Want to help?” She asked with a large smile.

“You do realize I’m trying to escape right? Not to mention that your princess is trying to seal me away again.”

“Oh okay, there a back door right over there.” said Pinkie Pie as she points at a door to their left.

“Wait…..you’re not gonna try and capture me?”

“Why would I want to do that? You're my new friend and I need to throw you a party, not only that I’m sure once things calm down the girls would love to talk with you.” she said with a big smile. “Beside the writers want to add more funny things for later.”

“Okay…...well…..I-I’ll see you later then.” Shalltear kicked the exit door open, and ran off.

“What a nice mare.” said Pinkie Pie as she get to work cooking.

        After sneaking around avoiding royal guards and a certain sun princess, Shalltear made her way towards the entrance of Canterlot Castle. She was surprise at how far she gotten without getting caught by the guards, Celestia, or the mane six. Just as she was running towards the doors she accidently bump into a certain moon princess who had just returned from somewhere important.

“Oh fudge.” Said Shalltear as she looks up at the Moon Princess in worry. “Um, sorry didn’t see you there.” She said while pulling herself up from the floor.

“It alright I’m sure you’re in a hurry to see the wedding to, tell me what is your name?” asked Luna with a smile that could melt someone's heart like butter.

“S-Shalltear Bloodfallen.”

“Well then Shalltear it nice to meet thy, come. The same armoury will begin soon and we can not miss it.” said Luna as she take Shalltear hand and walks her to the gardens.  

“Uh as much as I would like to stay, but I have to go. I left the oven on at my home and I don’t know if I left anything in it.”

“Do not worry if your house burns down I will do everything in my power to restore it in every way. But for now we must join in the marrant and I heard DJpon3 will be playing to night! I do enjoy her wubs.” Luna say with a smile as she dragging the vampire along like a little girl pulling long a doll.  

“Y-Yay l-lead the way.” Shalltear said while cursing to herself on the inside. “Well at least you get to enjoy a party before you get sent to jail…..wonder if I’ll be able to sleep somewhere comfortable this time?”

(Canterlot Royal Garden)

[Moments later]

“Did I miss anything?” Asked Luna as she walked up to her sister with Shalltear by her side holding a glass with what looks like blood in it.

“YOU!!!” Calls out Celestia as the main six look on in surprise.

“And the sudden fear hits me again.” Shalltear said as she hid behind Luna.

“Have you met Shalltear before sister? I must say she is an interesting being of the night much like my Bat ponies.” said Luna with a smile not even reacting to her older sister outburst.

“Luna, get away from her, she’s a dangerous being and must be placed in jail.”

“Oh please she fainted by the time we reached the party. I had to send for one of my guards to get her something to drink. Oh did you know she drinks blood, most interesting reminds me of the old traditions of the Bat Ponies of old.” Luna said with a carefree smile.

“You weren’t there at that time for what she did to Equestria’s government. Thanks to her she almost caused our economy to collapsed when she killed that one of the members of the Equestrian Government.”

“Wait, was it that fat pony who kept saying how I had no place in the rule of Equestria?” Asked Luna as she try to remember. “I never liked him, always yelling about his place in the rule.”

“This happen while you were banished to the moon, she imploded Atlas Star for a crime that I had already punish him for.”

Luna then looks to Shalltear. “What about you? What is your tale on this?” She asked looking at the vampire calmly.

“.....I-I don’t want to talk about it…..I j-just want to forget about it.”

Luna put her hand on Shalltear shoulder and smiles at her. “Do not worry nothing bad will happen to you. Sister may I keep an eye on her for now until I find out what happened between her and this Atlas Star pony.” she said looking at her sister with a knowing look.

“......Find.” Celestia said with a sigh as she pick up a piece of cake.

“Celestia what did we tell thy about the eating of the sweets?” said Luna with an annoyed look on her face.

“After what happen today and seeing…...her again, I pretty much deserved this.”

“Fine but it double the taning workout tomorrow sister. Remember what the doctors said it not healthy for you to have that much sugar in your body. Anymore and you’ll have to stop eating cake for a 1000 years.” Luna said as she crossed her arms as Shalltear watched them talk. Celestia simply just rolled her eyes as she teleported off to somewhere else to eat in private

*Sigh* I do not like fighting with my sister, but she needs to understand this is for her own good. Now then Ms. Bloodfallen let us enjoy the rest of the party after all the night is still young!” Luna yelled as she walks off to enjoy herself.

“Story of my life folks. One minute I’m in magic induced slumber, next saving my enemy from a queen who thought I was her servant, now I’m partying at a wedding of two ponies I don’t even know…...maybe this is all just a dream or something?” said Shalltear to herself as she take a drink of the blood in the glass. “Hmmm, tastes like cherry.” Next Chapter: Chapter 2: Living Arrangements Estimated time remaining: 4 Hours, 11 Minutes
