“Stupid piece of worthless junk!” Trixie yelled as she kicked the broken wheel to her home. “That’s the last time Trixie buys her stuff from Canterlot. Now how is she going to get out of this stupid forest?” Trixie leaned against a tree, trying to think of a way to get out of the forest without leaving her home behind. “Trixie could always find one of those monster creatures to help me, but where the hay is she going to find one in this creepy forest? It’s not like there’s a hidden town of them in the forest. Oh what will Trixie do now?” As Trixie continue to ponder her option, she heard rustling in the bushes in front of her.

“Who’s there?” Trixie asked as her horn began to glow. “I know how to use magic.” The rustling continued as a pair of eyes appeared. Trixie’s skin turned pale as she tried to back away from the being behind the bushes, only for a loud growling sound to come from behind her. Turning around she saw another pair of blood thirsty eye glared at her in hunger. With no other means of escape, the unicorn quickly tried to retreat into her home, only for a shadow to appear over her. Looking up her eyes widen to see a manticore standing on top of her home with mix of blood and saliva to drip from it’s mouth.

Trixie legs began to give from both the intimidation and fear of the manticore glaring at her. With whatever strength she had left, the unicorn tried to teleport herself away from the hungry beasts. Only for the magic in her horn to vanish from the roar of the manticore. Not only did the roar caused her to lose whatever strength she had left, but it also summoned the other two manticore out from hiding. Tears began to appear from Trixie’s eyes as she began to cover her head and pray that someone would save her from her impending doom.

“Please, Celestia, somepony, anypony, help me. I don’t want to die here.” Trixie said as the manticores lunged themselves at their prey, only for a pillar of light to appear around Trixie causing the manticore to be pushed back. Trixie opened her eyes as she saw the pillar of light engulfing her. "Have Trixie's prayers been answered?" She asked as she notice something flying down in front of her. Descending down in front of her was a girl no bigger than a teen pony, wearing scarlet red armor with pure white wings. Trixie’s eyes widen in shock for a moment before noticing the manticore recovering from the knock back. “I don’t know who you are or why you here. But please, don’t let them kill me.”

The vampire said nothing as she aimed her lance at the manticore, and prepare herself for battle. The manticores roared as one of them tried to attack the vampire with it’s tail. The vampire quickly moved out of the way as she flew up into the air and pointed a finger at the one that attacked her. “[Maximize Magic, Brilliant Radiance!]” She said as a pillar of light appeared underneath the manticore and sent the beast into the air. The Vampire appeared above it and impaled it’s head. As she removed the lance from the beast’s head, blood began to flow from the hole of it’s head as a orb of blood appeared above her head.

Drained of it’s blood, the vampire tossed the manticore to the ground as she landed back to where the other two were. The Manticores backed up a little from the girl out of intimidation from just happen. Their tails flickered as they tried to attack her from a distance by firing their stingers. The vampire raised her hand as a force as white light barrier appeared in front of her, negating the manticore’s attacks. Placing her lance onto her back, the armor clad girl summoned a spear of light into her hand and threw it into the head of the other manticore killing it upon impact. “[Purifying Javelin!]” She said as the light spear vanish. Bringing back her spear, the vampire's body dissolved into a silvery mist, her ghostly form twining around the other manticore as it lunged through her.

As the manticore was trying to figure out where the girl had gone to, the vampire appeared behind the beast and impaled him in the back. “[Greater Lethal]” She said as the orb in the middle of the lance changed from a glowing purple to a swirling mix of crimson and black. The beast roared at it tried to knock the vampire’s spear from out of it’s back. The manticore began to lose its strength as the dark negative energy kept flowing into it causing blood to gush out from it’s eyes, mouth, and ears. In a matter of seconds, the manticore stopped moving as it let out a mighty roar before collapsing to the ground dead.

The vampire pulled her lance out of the manticore's back as the blood from the manticore started flow from out of the beast and into the blood orb. As the orb began to grow bigger, Trixie notice something heading towards the vampire. “LOOK OUT! BEHIND YOU!” Trixie yelled as the armored vampire teleported out of the Manticore that was about to hit her. From what Trixie could tell, this manticore was much bigger than the other three she fought. The Manticore glance at the dried up corpses of his pack, then back at the vampire. It’s glare intensify as it begun to lash out rapidly, only for the girl to easily dodge them like a leaf dancing in the wind along with her countering with each strike with her spear.

After dodging multiple strikes, the vampire was finally hit as she was sent flying through a tree. The manticore roared as it ran after her in pursuit. As the beast appeared over her ready to sink it’s fangs into the vampire’s body, the vampire pointed a finger at the manticore’s chest as a light blue light started to gather around her finger. “[Twin Maximize Magic: Twin Dragon Lightning]” The vampire said as a burst of lightning in the form of a dragon spewed out from the manticore. At first Trixie thought that it was over when she saw the vampire appear in front of it, but to her surprise the Manticore was still able to move as it begun to strike rapidly at the girl with it’s stinger.

"How can you move like that?" Trixie asked, noticing the vampire's hands beginning to glow scarlet red.

“[Twin Maximize Magic: Vermillion Nova]” The vampire said as a pillar of fire erupted from underneath the manticore. The manticore used it’s wings to blow away the flames as it lunged itself at the vampire. The armored girl raised her hand again as a lance made of light appeared. “[Purifying Javelin!]” She said as the lance shot right into the manticore’s head. The beast begun to slow down as it ran passed the vampire and into a boulder sticking out from the ground behind her.

Trixie stared at what just happen in front of her. This girl, her savior in scarlet armor, appeared out of nowhere, took on four manticores, and won without even getting wounded or killed by the manticores. The unicorn shook her head to bring herself out of the state she was in and was about to say something to her hero. That is until the vampire raised her hand into the air and summoned the blood from the manticores towards her. As the blood began to come towards her, the ball from before started to grow bigger to that of the size of Trixie’s home. Opening her mouth, the blood began to flow into her stomach at a steady pace as the orb became smaller and smaller by the second.

With a small gulp from the vampire, the armor she was wearing and along with lance she was carrying disappeared in a flash of light. Trixie's eyes widen again as now looked at the girl who was now wearing, a black licorice purple colored dress bits of dark magenta on the clothing. After the transformation completed, the girl collapsed onto the ground causing Trixie to run over to the vampire.

“Hey, you okay?” Trixie asked as she lifted the girl up a bit. “Come one, say something?” She said, placing her head hear her chest to check for any sign of the girl being alive. “Thanks Celestia, she’s still breathing.” The unicorn said as she heard another rustling in the bushes. Without thinking, Trixie lifted the vampire onto her back as she ran inside her trailer, locked the door, and cast an invisibility spell on the trailer to make it invisible to everyone but her.

(Ponyville, Library)

“And that’s what happen.” Twilight said finishing up event that she and Rainbow Dash experienced. “Right now we know that this girl is still in the everfree forest, but we don’t know where she is.”

“If you let me go on ahead I would’ve told you where she was hiding out in.”

“After what happen in the ruins, I would rather not have a repeat of what happen. Plus you did saw what that girl did to those stone monsters, right?”

“Which is why we have to find her as quickly as possible. Look, I know that I released that….what that girl was. But after seeing what she can do, you can’t expect us not to do nothing and let her do whatever she wants? What if she attacks somepony or something?”

“Which is why we had to return to get Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie.”

“Still, you could’ve let me go after her.”

“Complaining about it won’t solve the problem Rainbow Dash.” Applejack said as she tilted her hat. “If what Twilight is saying is true about this girl, then we need to find her before something bad happens.”

“D-Do we have to go after? I mean, maybe she was locked in there by accident and just wanted to return home?” Fluttershy stated.

“I doubt it seeing how she locked away fro who knows how long. Not to mention the coffin was covered in rusty chains and dust, so it must have been there since the time before the princesses ruling.”

“You think she might’ve something to do with the monsters appearing out of the everfree forest?” Rarity asked.

“Maybe, I’ll have to have Spike send a letter to the princess after we get the girl here.”

“Oh! Can we throw her a “Welcome to Ponyville” party?” Pinkie Pie asked causing everyone in the room to look at her in disbelief.

“Um….maybe after we have her meet Princess Celestia. We have to make sure that she’s okay and not hurting anypony.”

“Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go after her then.” Rainbow Dash said as she was about to fly off, only for Twilight to stop her with her magic.

“We’re not going to have a repeat of what happen last time.” Twilight said as she placed Rainbow Dash back on the ground. “Before we go off into the everfree forest, we need to be prepared for anything that might happen in there. Once you gotten whatever you need, we’ll meet at the forest entrance. Agreed?” Twilight said as her friends nodded in agreement. “Good, we’ll meet up in one hour.”

(Trixie’s home, Everfree Forest)

The vampire’s eyes slowly open upon smelling the sweet smell of something cooking. Upon waking up, she finds herself lying in a bed with a damp cloth over her forehead. Taking the damp cloth off her head, the vampire lifted herself up and began to scan the room for whoever lives in this house she’s in. “W-Where am I?”

“Oh, you’re awake.” Trixie said as she entered the room with a plate full of cooked fruit mix into a salad. “Trixie didn’t think you would be awake after you collaps.”

“Um….who are you and where the hell am I if you don’t mind me asking?” Trixie levitated a plate next to the vampire as she pulled a seat next to her.

“You child are in the house of The Great and Powerful Trixie!” The unicorn answered as small fireworks appear from behind herself. “And who might you be brave hero?”

“My name….” The vampire paused for a moment to think of response to her answer. “I-I’m Veronica….Bloodfallen….I think….I-I’m sorry, but that’s all I can remember really.”

“What do you mean that’s all you remember? Don’t you remember you saving me moments ago?”

“What do you mean?”

“You killed four manticores like they were nothing. How in the whole wide world of Equestria were you able to do it? Who taught you those spells? And where did you get that armor and weapon from?”

“L-Look, I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you’re talking about weird unicorn lady. All I can remember is parts of my name, and waking up here in this bed. Everything is before that is just a blur, or I can’t remember.” Veronica said as she grabbed the plate full of food next to her, and began to eat. “I can’t answer your question if I don’t know who I am, or where I came from.”

“Right, forgive Trixie for her asking you questions like that.”

“It’s okay, mind telling me where exactly am I in? I know I’m in your house, but where is you house located?”

“Well, my house is pretty much a mobile home that Trixie can take with me anywhere Trixie goes. But at the moment, it’s kinda stuck in the middle of the forest we’re in.”

“Stuck?”

“One of the wheels have broken when Trixie was making her way out of the everfree forest. Trixie was about to teleport to Canterlot to see if she could buy a wheel for my home, but she was ambushed by those beastly manticores. Trixie thought she was dead until you showed up and defeated the beasts.”

“W-Well, I’m glad that I could help. Even though I have no memory of me saving you.”

“Maybe we can do something about your memory loss thing you have there.”

“You know someone that can help?”

“No, but I’m sure somepony in Equestria might be able to help.”

“Equestria?”

“It’s the name of the country you’re in. It pretty much the home for us ponies. But it would seem that it’s also the home of these weird creatures that almost resemble you. Well, only the some of them do, but others pretty much resemble other animals.”

“How about we ask one of them for help. Maybe they can help repair the wheel to your home?”

“Yeah, if we can find them that is. Most of the times the creatures would only appear walking in and out of Ponyville and back into the everfree forest. Even when we follow them, they end up disappearing for some reason.”

“Then maybe we can ask one of them in this place called Ponyville then?” Veronica asked, only for Trixie to pause for a moment before going back eating.

“T-Trixie can’t return to Ponyville for a while.”

“Why?”

“Trixie will tell you about it later. Right now let’s just figure out a way to fix the wheel.”

“Isn’t there someplace around here that tells us on how to make or fix a wheel?”

“Hm….” Trixie paused for a moment as an idea came into her head. “Maybe there’s a book about wheel fixing in the castle of the royal sisters.”

“There’s a castle in the forest?”

“It used to belong to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna one thousand years ago, but they pretty much abandoned it and moved to Canterlot.”

“Guess we know what we’re gonna be doing today.”

“We’ll have to go there in the morning tomorrow.” Trixie said as she points at the window. “The everfree forest is much dangerous at night then it is during the day.” The unicorn said as she finished eating her food along with Veronica. Trixie’s horn began to glow as she levitated the plates towards the kitchen and into the sink. “We’ll go there to get the book and nothing else. That place really gives Trixie the creeps, especially at night.”

“Um, where do I sleep?”

“You’ll be sleeping in Trixie’s bed for tonight. Trixie will have to clean up the guest room once we get back tomorrow.”

“But where will you sleep? I don’t want to take your bed if this is the only place you sleep in.”

“Don’t worry, The Great and Powerful Trixie will sleep on the couch in the front room.”

“There’s other rooms then this one?”

“Trixie struck a deal with the salespony that sold me this mobile home. It may look small on the outside, but on the inside it’s just as big as a normal house you would see.” Trixie said as she pulled herself up from sitting next to Veronica, and made her way out the room before hitting the lights. “Rest well Veronica.”

“Yeah…..you two.” Veronica said as she laid back in bed. So many questions filled the young vampire’s head. Who is she, where did she come from, why is she in this weird country called Equestria? These questions began to plague her mind as she looked outside of the window at the full moon.

“I really wish I knew more about myself,” Veronica thought as she pulled the covers over herself. “Maybe the castle of the royal sisters might have a clue about who I am?” The vampire thought as she felt her eyes feeling heavy. “I guess will have to see once we get there.” with that, the young countess closed her eyes as she drifted away into dreamland.
