(Canterlot, Celestia’s Royal Chamber)

Canterlot, the shining beacon of Equestria, and home to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Rulers of Equestria and wielder of the sun and moon. Both visible during the day and night and also home to hundred of other ponies as well. Nighttime has fallen upon Canterlot as Princess Celestia retired to her chambers, while Luna took over for night court. As she enters into her room and began to look over some notes for the sun court in the morning, a letter wrapped in a familiar green flame appeared in front of her as it landed on the bed she was currently sitting on. Levitating the letter to herself, Celestia opened the letter and began to read it. Moments after reading the letter sent by Twilight, Celestia’s skin turned pale as she quickly moved from off her bed and teleported to throne room where Luna was holding the night court.

“Night court is suspended until further notice.” Celestia said as she ordered everyone in the room to leave, except for Luna.

“Sister, what is the meaning of all this?” The alicorn of the night asked. “Is something the matter?”

“She...has return.” Celestia answered as she levitated the letter that Twilight cent her in front of Luna.

“She… wait… you don’t mean…” Luna asked, only to see her sister’s expression as her eyes widened. “Oh by the stars… Shalltear?”

“No other being can wear a scarlet red armor and wields a lance like that.”

“Then we must mobilize the guards at once to seal her back up as quickly as possible.”

“Luna, I know you are scared and angry after what happened all those years ago, but maybe we can try and think this through instead of just-.”

“Have you not forgotten what she did to our ponies, or did you not forget what she did to our father!?”

“As much as I want to forget that…..unpleasant day. We still can’t go in blindly like a chicken with it’s head cut off. If Twilight and others can bring Shalltear here to us, then maybe we can talk this out.”

“You can’t be serious?” Luna asked, dumbfounded by how calm her sister is reacting. “You actually want to talk to that monster after what she did?”

“Acting on impulse will only lead to disaster. You of all ponies should know that more than I do.”

“We can’t just stand here and do nothing. If we don’t do something now, she’ll end up forming an army of undead monsters or something to attack Canterlot.”

“I doubt that she able to do that seeing how she just awoken from her sleep.” Celestia said as she started to make her way to the door.

“Where are you going?”

“To write Twilight a letter in response to the one she sent me. While I’m doing that, you are not allowed to have the guards to go after Shalltear.”

“Are you brain dead or something-?”

“Do I make myself clear.” Celestia said as she glared at the lunar princess with a serious tone in her voice.

“Yes sister.”

“Good, now I bid you goodnight.” Celestia said as she walked off to her private chamber.

“I swear sometimes my sister can be a bit to trustworthy at times.” Luna said mentally as she summoned a soldier from the night guard. “Gather a group of soldiers and have them meet me outside of Canterlot.”

“What for Princess Luna?”

“Unlike my sister who pushes stuff like this to the side and endangering her student and her friends. I’m going to deal with the problem myself. You have about an hour to get your colts ready. I’ll be waiting for you all at the gate.”

“At once Princess Luna.” The bat pony said as he flew off into the night.

“Shalltear Bloodfallen, you will pay for your sins and more for what you did to Equestria all those years ago.”

(Morning, Castle of the Royal Sisters)

“Okay girls, we need to find something that has the vampires essence or something that can give us a way to find her.” Twilight said as she and her friends searched the room that she and Rainbow Dash was in yesterday.

“Ya’ll sure will be able to find something that can help us find this vampire girl Celestia said in her letter you got?” Applejack asked as she looked around the room.

“It’s the only way that I can track her. Be careful when looking around here girls. There could be some traps that haven’t been activated yet.”

“Who would leave somepony in a d-dark and scary room like this?” Fluttershy asked.

“Whoever did this should be ashamed of themselves.” Rarity said as she slipped on a rubber glove and slid her finger across the wall. “I mean look at this place, they could’ve at least cleaned it more often.”

“I doubt they could seeing how they must’ve forgotten about this room.” Applejack said as she noticed something shining in the coffin while walking by it. “Hey Twilight, I think I might’ve found something that might help us track that vampire girl you were talking about.” The country pony said as she reached into the coffin and pulled out what appears to be a hair pin.

“Mind if I have a look at that Applejack?” Twilight asked as she levitated the hairpin towards herself. “Perfect, I’ll be able to track her down with this.”

“Perfect.” Rainbow Dash said as she appeared next to Twilight. “Now we’ll be able to find her quickly before she does something dangerous.”

“I don’t think that would be a problem.” Pinkie Pie said as her tail began to twitch.

“What makes you say that darling?” Rarity asked, only for the party pony to point towards the entrance of the hidden room they’re in.

“Because she’s upstair right now.” She said as all five pony notice the vampire walking pass the hidden room. At first they thought it was one of the monsters that appeared around Ponyville, but what gave her appearance away would have to be her scarlet red eyes.

“That’s her!” Rainbow Dash said as she was about to fly after her, only for Twilight to stop her with her magic.

“Will you wait before you get yourself hurt.” Twilight said as she placed the pegasus on the ground.

“Well we can’t just let her leave. This might be the only chance we got in capturing her without having to hunter down.”

“Which is why I have a plan so we won’t have to do that.” Twilight said as she motion her and the other to gather around her.

“So what does this book to repair your home look like?” Veronica asked as she followed Trixie into the abandoned Castle.

“Trixie doesn’t have to slightest idea about what the book looks like, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be able to find one just by looking around in the library.”

“Do you know where the library is?”

“Trixie has been here before many times.” The unicorn said as she and Veronica made their way down the hallway which lead them straight to the library. “Okay from what Trixie can remember, the repair books should be in the R section of the bookshelves.”

“And where is that?”

“Over there to the left.” Trixie pointed. “Look and collect books that can tell us how to repair a wheel by hand.”

“On it.” The countess said as she ran over to the bookshelf Trixie pointed out.

“Be careful when handling those books though. Some of them are old to the point where if you filt them up, the pages will turn to dust.” The unicorn said as she saw Veronica pick up a book, only for the pages from inside it turn to dust.

“Um…..it was like this when I picked it up.”

“Never mind.” Trixie said as she walked over to Veronica and patted her on the head. “Let’s be more carefull next with the other books. I mean it’s not like they will turn to dust if we touch them tight?” The unicorn asked as she pulled a book from the shelf. “Let’s see, How to repair rusty items. That might come in handy, but not the book we’re looking for.”

“How to repair a broken heart?” Veronica said as she pulled another book from the shelf. “How to repair a house, how to repair a relationship, how to repair one’s sex life? Are you sure this is the right bookshelf to find the book we need?” The countess asked, only for Trixie to levitate the book away from her.

“Maybe.” Trixie said as she tossed the book to the side. “It’s not like Trixie can go back to Ponyville after what happened to her.”

“Then I guess we’ll have to do it the hard way then huh?”

“Sadly yes, but Trixie thinks this will be pay out in the end. We have all the time in the world seeing how this place is rarely visited by anypony.”

“Why doesn’t anyone visit this place?”

“Mostly because it’s in the middle of the everfree forest. The most dangerous place in Equestria.”

“If it’s so dangerous, then why build a castle here then?”

“Trixie doesn’t know. Maybe they did it so they can be close to ponyville or something.”

“Well they should’ve built it in the middle of Ponyville then.” Veronica said as she pulled out another book from the shelf. “Hm, how to repair a wheel manually. Hey Trixie, I found the book we need for your home.” The vampire said as Trixie levitated the book towards herself.

“Yes! This is the book Trixie need!” Trixie said as she patted Veronica on the head. “Good work Veronica. With this we can repair the wheel to my home and get out of the everfree forest.”

“Well that was easier then I though.”

“Looks like pony luck is on our side this time. Come on, let’s head back before something from the forest pops out and attack us.”

“Right.” Just as the duo were about to leave, something wrapped itself around the vampire and began to pull her away from Trixie. “Um…..Trixie. I’m being pulled away by something.”

“What do you mean-.” Trixie froze mid sentence as she saw Veronica being pulled away slowly. “What is the meaning of this?” The unicorn said as she shot a magical beam at the rope, causing whoever it was that was pulling it to fall on their back.

“Ow! Consarnit!” said a familiar voice to Trixie.

“Who said that?”

“It can’t be.” Trixie said as she saw Twilight and her friends appearing from the doorway. “YOU!”

“Trixie? What are you doing here?” Twilight asked.

“None of your business Twilight Sparkle. Care to explain why you country bumpkin friend tried to fillynap my friend Veronica?”

“Trixie, you need to get from her. She a dangerous being and needs to come with of us to bring to Celestia.”

“And why would The Great and Powerful Trixie hand over her friend?”

“Because she’s a dangerous blood sucking vampire.” Rainbow Dash said pointing at the countess’s fangs. “With teeth like that she’ll suck your blood before you could even get away.”

“Hey I take offense to that!” Veronica said.

“Doesn’t make it less true. Not to mention what you did to those stone monsters yesterday when we found you in that dusty old coffin.”

“What do you mean you found me in a coffin?”

“We’ll explain everything that happen when we found you, but you have to come with us if you want to know the truth about who you really are.” Twilight said as she extended a hand towards the vampire. “You have my word that nothing bad will happen to you.”

“Is she really telling the truth?” Veronica thought as she stared at the lavender unicorn in curiosity. She was a bit reluctant at first and was about to walk over to Twilight and her friends, only for Trixie to block her with her hand.

“Don’t listen to them Veronica. They may act like they’re your friend, but when the princess is involved they’ll throw you under to the side and go with their beloved princess’s orders.”

“Hey! That’s not true!” yelled Pinkie Pie.

“We would never do that to her or anypony.” Rarity said, glaring at the magician unicorn. “Celestia just want to talk to Veronica, that’s all.”

“Sure she does.” Trixie said sarcastically. “You expect Trixie to believe Celestia just want to talk to Veronica. What would she want to talk with her about anyway?”

“We don’t know, all she asked is that we bring Veronica to her and all will be explain.”

“Then it’s settled, she not going with you.”

“Like you have much of a choice in the matter, Trixie.” Rainbow Dash said as she flew in front of Trixie. “For all we know you, might use her for your Celestia knows what.”

“Don’t I get a say in this?” Veronica asked only for Rainbow Dash to turn her attention at her.

“Look you’re coming with us and that’s final.”

“I’m not going with someone who I just met.”

“But you just met Trixie didn’t you? So why not come with us?” Fluttershy asked.

“Because she helped me and I trust her more then you guys.” The Vampire said as she begun to walk outside the castle. Only for Rainbow Dash to block her path.

“You’re not going anywhere kid.”

“We’re sorry, but you’ll have to come with us.” Twilight said.

“And if I refuse?”

“Then will have to do this the hard.” Rainbow Dash said as she tried to grab Veronica by the arm, only for vampire to move out of the way. “Hey! Hold still!”

“Trixie, we need to leave.” Veronica said as she tried to run away from the rainbow colored pegasus.

“Right, get close to Trixie and she’ll teleport us out of here.” Trixie said as her horn began to glow, only for Applejack to tie a rope around the unicorn and tied her down while keeping a hoof on her back.

“Not this time partner.”

“Release Trixie at once or else.”

“Or else what? From what I can remember from what you did in Ponyville, you don’t have any other kind of magic beside the one you used in your so called show.”

“Trixie, help!” Veronica said as she dodged Rainbow Dash and landed on top of the bookshelf.

“Trixie is a bit tied up at the moment.” The blue unicorn said, causing Veronica to see what she meant by that. “Just run, I’ll try to catch with you at my place!”

“But what about you?”

“I’ll be fine, just go!” Veronica looked at Trixie for a moment before she started to run off deeper into the castle.

“Y-You better be okay when I see you again.” Veronica said as she ran off.

“Oh no you don’t. You’re not getting away from me that easily!” Rainbow Dash said as she flew after Veronica.

“You sure the plan’s going to work?” Fluttershy asked. “It’s not going to hurt her is it?”

“Don’t worry Fluttershy.” Twilight said as she teleported the coffin that Veronica was in near herself. “All Rainbow Dash has to do is lead Veronica to the backway of the Castle. Once there, Rarity and I will lightly push her into the coffin. After pushing her into the coffin Applejack and Pinkie Pie will secure the coffin by wrapping it with the rope that Applejack brought.”

“Trixie will make you pay for doing this Twilight Sparkle.” Trixie said as she tried to struggle out of her binds.

“I’m sorry Trixie, but this for the safety of Equestria and for you as well.”

“What do we do with her?” Applejack asked as she pulled Trixie from off the ground. “We can’t just leave her here. She might break free and try to rescue Veronica.”

“We’ll have to bring her with us than. I can keep from using her magic until we capture Veronica.” Twilight said as she motion her friends to follow her around back of the castle. “Come on, let’s get this plan underway.”
