“Leave me alone!” Veronica said as she ran down the hallway with Rainbow Dash chasing after her.

“Get back here!” The Pegasus yelled as she zoomed after the running vampire girl. “How the hey can this girl run in that dress?”

“What did I ever do to you? Go after someone else!” She said, quickly making a left turn into a dark room. Rainbow Dash followed in pursuit, but stopped the moment she enters the room.

“Look kid, just make this easy and turn yourself in. You and I both know that you can’t hide forever.” Rainbow Dash said as she slowly walked into the room. “Give up and I’ll… Where did she go?!”

“Okay Veronica, think. What can you do to out smart this pony.” Veronica thought as she slowly tip toed around the room, trying not to let the rainbow maned pegasus know where she is. “There gotta be something that can give me a good head start out of this place.”

“I know you’re in there! Come out and i’ll go easy on you.” Rainbow dash said as she tries to move around in the room without knocking into anything. “Why couldn’t Applejack or Twilight be the ones that chase after her?”

Out from the corner of the room, Veronica poked her head out from behind a bookshelf as she watch the pegasus walk around in the room. “It seems that she can’t see me in the room, but I can see her.” She thought as her eyes glowed scarlet red as she could see Rainbow Dash searching the room. “Okay, just need to slowly make my way to the doorway, and I’ll get at least a few minute head start.” She said as she slowly made her to the doorway of the room she was in.

“Oh come on! I don’t want to try looking for you in the dark all day.” Complained Rainbow as she slipped on a book, that was on the floor. “Ouch…”

“Yeah well you’re pretty much gonna once I’m out.” Veronica said as she was feets away from the doorway. Just she was about to make her way out, her dress hit the side of something causing a book from the shelf to fall onto the ground. “Uh oh.”

“Found you!” Shouted the pegasus as she flew to where she heard the book drop.

“Time to run again!” The vampire said as she ran out of the room and down the hallway.

“Get back here you little-.” Just Rainbow Dash was about to grab Veronica, the pegasus slammed right into said bookshelf that Veronica knocked a book off of. “Ow….” She said as she heard some books fell off the shelf when she fell to the floor. Just as she looked up, she saw the bookshelf beginning to fall towards her. “Oh pony feathers.”

(Outside)

“You think Rainbow Dash is going to be okay?” Fluttershy asked.

“Now don’t you worry about her sugarcube.” Applejack said as she patted the cream colored pegasus on the head. “I’m sure Rainbow Dash will be fine.”

“I don’t know. After what Twilight told us, you sure she can handle her?”

“She’s just one girl, how can she possibly cause her that much trouble?”

“S-Still……”

“Look if it’ll make you feel better, I’ll go in there and see if Rainbow Dash needs any help. Will that make you less worry?” Applejack asked only to receive a nod from Fluttershy. “Okay then, I’ll be back before you say Applebucking season.” The farm pony said as she ran back into the abandoned castle.

“You do realize that they’re gonna get their flanks handed to them.” Trixie said, still trying to struggle to break free from the ropes.

“You obviously have no idea about my friends do you?” Twilight asked. “I have faith that they’ll get Veronica out of that Castle.”

“You really think that pegasus and a earth pony will be able to capture her? You clearly have no idea how powerful Veronica is.”

“From what I saw if she really did want to hurt us, she would’ve taken you and escape.”

“Trixie will enjoy seeing the look on your face when Veronica returns to get me.”

“I’m going to ring your neck you little twerp!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she tried to catch the countess, only for her to dodge out of the way and made a hard right down the hall. “Hold still!”

“Yeah, like I’m gonna listen to someone like you.” Veronica said as she darted down the hall into a large vacant room. Judging by the way the tables are set along with the fancy looking chair covered in dust and cobwebs, it looked like a gathering place for everyone to eat in. “Ah, crap basket.”

“I got you now kid!” Rainbow Dash said as she once again tried to capture Veronica. The Vampire moved out of the doorway as she tried find a way out of the rooms she was in, only to stop when Rainbow Dash appeared in front of her causing Veronica to fall back. “You think you can get away from the fastest pegasus in Equestria?”

“Honestly, yes.” Veronica said as she turned around and run towards the doorway, only for Rainbow Dash to appear in front of it.

“What part of fastest pegasus in Equestria did you not understand?” The pegasus said as she slowly walked towards Veronica. “Enough playing around. You’re coming with us to see the princess.”

“Like I would go with someone like you.” Veronica looked around the room for either something to use as a weapon or a way to escape. Slowly backing away from the rainbow maned pegasus, the vampire’s foot landed on a hidden trigger as the floor under her gave way and caused her to fall down into it.

“Seriously? What is up with this place?” Rainbow Dash asked as she tried to follow Veronica down the hidden trap door, only for it to close in front of her hitting her face on the hard floor. “Ow…”

“At last I’m safe.” Veronica said as her eyes adjusted to the darkness around herself. Pulling herself off the floor she began to look around to see if there was another doorway or something that lead to outside of the castle. “Seriously, who’s the idiot that made this place?” As the vampire continue to look for a way out, Veronica stepped on another hidden trigger as the wall she was next to open. The Vampire cheered in victory upon finding a way out, only for it to be short lived as saw the farm pony named Applejack appear in front of it. Surprised at the situation they were in, Veronica stepped on the switch again as the wall closed back up.

“Open this wall right now young lady!” Applejack yelled as she started banging at the wall.

“Okay, don’t panic Veronica. You’re safe in here. I mean it’s not like she can break this wall down….right?” Veronica thought, only to notice the light from behind the wall Applejack was banging on start to seep in into the room. “Okay time to go!” The vampire said as she tried to look for another way out. “Crap, not good. I can’t find a way out of here.” As she tried to look for a why out, the wall behind her fell as the room was not lite up from the light. “Oh crap, she found me!”

“Got you now kid.” Applejack said as she slowly walked towards Veronica. “Now come with so we can take you to Princess Celestia, and no pony has to get hurt.”

“Come on Veronica, think! You gotta take care of this pony and save Trixie from that lavender unicorn.” Veronica said as she closed her eye and tried to concentrate on a way to escape. During her concentration, she felt that her body was feeling strange. Unbenounced to her, Veronica consciousness faded away as a blank stare and expression appeared on her face.
“[Greater Teleportation]” She said as she vanish in a blink of an eye from Applejack’s vision.

“What the? Where did she go?” Applejack said as she saw something fall from the ceiling of the room she was in. Flying down from the hole was Rainbow Dash, who was rubbing her left cheek from when she slammed into the floor above.

“Finally got that thing to open.”

“Nice ta see you RD, but did you know this mare can use magic?” Applejack asked.

“Yeah, but it’s not like she can teleport or anything, right?” The apple farmer just face hooved at Rainbow Dash’s reply. “What?”

“Take a guess why I asked ya if she knows magic…”

“....Oh…..We might need to head back and get Twilight to help us.”

(Outside)

“Applejack and Rainbow Dash have been in there for quite some time now.” Rarity said as she looked back at her friend Twilight. “You don’t think they could’ve lost track of Veronica, do you?”

“Don’t worry I’m sure they're on there way back with her as we speak.” Twilight said with confidence.

“I don’t think so.” Pinkie Pie said as she appeared beside Twilight.

“Why is that?” Rarity asked.

“Because she standing over there.” The Party pony said as she pointed at the vampire who appeared out of nowhere a few feet next to them.

Veronica blinked in confusion before slowly checking herself to make sure she didn’t lose anybody parts. “W-What just happen?”

“S-she can teleport? How can she teleport without a horn!?”

“Well she can use magic to silly.” Pinkie replied smiling at Twilight like it was obvious.

“What are you doing here?” Trixie yelled as she struggled to move. “Trixie told you to escape and she’ll meet up with you back at the house.”

“How did I get out here?” She asked as she looked over to her left to see Trixie along with the ponies from earlier. “Oh crap.” In a fit of panic, Veronica quickly turned around and bolted off. Only for a lavender color barrier appeared in front of her.

“Okay explain how you did that just now?” Twilight asked.

“Leave me alone, why can’t you freaks leave me alone and go on with whatever it is you do in life?” The vampire said as she tried to jump over the barrier, only for the barrier became a dome surrounding her. “Let me out of here!” Veronica yelled as she banged her fist onto the wall of the dome.

“Well, that was easier than I thought. Now all we have to do is wait for Rainbow Dash and Applejack to come back.” Twilight said as she notice Veronica making rude gestures at her. “Make faces all you want I’m not letting you out until we meet the princess.”

“If you don’t let me out, I’m going to kick your ass from here to overlord knows where in Equestria!”

“Overlord? Who’s that?” Pinkie Pie asked, pushing her face up against the dom. “Does he or she like parties? Oh! Would you like a party?”

“If you let me go, and I’ll answer your questions.”

“Not happening.” Twilight replied as looked over at Pinkie Pie “No Pinkie, we’re going to take her to see Celestia so she can talk with her.”

“Darling as much as I’d like to leave, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are still inside the castle.” Rarity said as she looks at the castle. “You don’t think they’re lost do you?”

“Let’s wait for them to return. I get the feeling that they might come back to ask for my assistance after Veronica’s little teleporting spell.”

“Great, less than a few minutes and I might end up being sent to prison or something worse.” Veronica thought as she leaned against the dome. “Think girl, there has to be some way out of this.” As the vampire was lost in thought, a mysterious echoed into her head.

“Stupid child, how long are you going to be this ignorant?”

“Huh? Who said that?” Veronica asked as she looked around to find where the voice was coming from.

“Ignorant child, looks like I’ll have to get you of this situation that you could easily get out of.”

“What are you-.” Veronica was cut short in mid-sentence as she felt something trying to take control of her body. “W-What are you doing?”

“Trying to take control of my body, but it would seem that I can’t for some reason. Tsh, that damn King Cosmos and that fucking seal he placed on my body.”

“What are you talking about? What are you doing to me?” Veronica asked as she felt her arm lift up as it started to glow.

“Just shut up and watch.” The voice said as Veronica felt her lips move on their own. “Magic Destruction.” She said as the magical dome disappeared from around herself.

“How-what-you?!” Twilight gasped, loss for words as to what just happen. Before she could register what happen, she was stuck by some kind of cold spell as she felt herself being in cased in ice from the neck down. Looking up she could see Veronica’s hand turn blue as lowered her hand and smiled at the unicorn in a childish, but devilishly way.

“What are doing to them? Stop it!”

“Normally I would kill them, but seeing how I don’t have control of MY body this will have to due.” The mysterious voice said as she turned her attention at Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity.

“Wow you just turned Twilight into a ‘Twi-acil’” Pinkie giggled, only for Veronica’s hand to turn green as vines sprouted out from the ground and wrapped themselves around her. “It was just a joke.”

“You didn’t have to do that.”

“It was a horrible joke and she should feel bad for saying that.” The voice said as she felt something pulling on her body. “Now what?” She asked as she notice the white unicorn trying to restrain her with her magic.

“Now darling, let not do anything that we will regret.” Rarity said as she backed away slowly.

“Foolish pony, you really think something like this will stop me?” Without even lifting a finger, the sky blue aura that was around Veronica disappeared. “Weak.” The voice said mentally as she point a finger at Rarity, as spider webs appeared from out of the forest and wrapped themselves around the white unicorn, trapping her in a web like cocoon.

Veronica’s ears twitch as she heard a small squeak come from off to the side. She turned around to see the cream colored pegasus shivering in fear. In a blink of an eye, Veronica appeared in front of Fluttershy as she stared deeply into her eyes.

“You better not hurt her or else.”

“If I wanted to do that, then I would’ve done so already.” The voice said as her eyes glowed scarlet red, causing Fluttershy to have a blank expression to appear on her face. “Go untie Trixie from those ropes that the farm pony placed her in.” She ordered as Fluttershy walked over to Trixie and untied her. “Now, tie yourself in it.” with a simple nod, Fluttershy did as she was told and tied herself up. After seeing that she was tied up nice and tightly, the voice snapped her fingers as it broke Fluttershy from out of her trance induced state. “Now to deal with the other-.” Before the voice could finish, she felt her grip on Veronica’s body starting slip. “Dammit, out of time.”

“What do you mean? Just who are you and how did you do what you just did?”

“I don’t have to answer to you faker. Now begone from my sight, you disgust me for even talking to me.” The voice said as Veronica felt herself falling to the ground.

“Ow….W-What just happen?”

“That what the great and powerful Trixie want to know to.” Trixie said as she walked over to Veronica. “Is there something you’re not telling Trixie?”

“I told you before, I don’t know. It’s just like what happen before when you found me, only this time…. It like there was someone or something taking control of my body.”

“Well we’ll worry about that later, let’s get out of here before the other two show up.”

Veronica nodded as she tried to pull herself up, only for her to stumble back onto the ground. “I don’t think I can get up.”

“Please tell Trixie you’re joking right?”

“If I was, then I wouldn’t be on the ground. Please help me.”

Trixie sighed as she picked Veronica up and placed her on her back.“Fine, The Great and Generous Trixie will carry you.” The magician said as she darted off into the forest with Veronica on her back.

“Well, there go my welcome to ponyville party.” Pinkie Pie said with a deep sigh.

“I be more worry about how we are going to get out this then a party Pinkie dear.” Rarity said as she tried to struggle out of the cocoon she was in. “These spiderwebs are ruining my mane, and I just got it washed last night.”

“Umm, I’m a little more worried about Twilight catching a cold.” Fluttershy said looking at Twilight in the ice. “Or something worse.”

“I-I’m h-hoping that R-Rainbow Dash and Applej-jack get here s-soon.” Twilight said, shivering from the ice she was in cased in. “W-We n-need to r-regroup and f-form a n-new plan.”
