- >The mare's hooves clamored up the cobweb-covered stairs of the ancient castle
- >she panted, desperate to catch her breath
- >her legs ached and she was nearly exhausted
- >but after what she had faced in this castle, she was ready for anything
- >Cockatrices, manticores, tiny critters twisted by his influence, the castle itself falling apart around her
- >and some things that were almost unexplainable...
- >giant bats, suits of armor moving by themselves, seaponies from the deep
- >and what seemed like the spirit of a pony wielding a scythe
- >all had been incapacitated by her quick hooves and quicker thinking
- >she stopped at the top of the tall, winding staircase and looked back at the castle
- >the crumbling towers, decrepit halls, and numerous beasts she had conquered
- >she took a deep breath, starting to get her second wind
- >the door of the tallest tower and his headquarters was before her
- >she could feel a small sliver of fear deep within herself
- >she quickly shook her head and cleared those thoughts
- >she could do it
- >she had to do it
- >for her friends...
- >she felt about her tattered cloak, taking a quick inventory
- >her heart sunk as she realized she had used up most of her items within the castle
- >all she had left was her whip, trusty hat, a sole boomerang and a few special bottles
- >those bottles were her secret weapon
- >for the terrible creature he had become...
- >she turned and looked towards the full moon that illuminated the night
- >any other night, it would be beautiful...
- >her nerves were steel
- >she was ready for what lied beyond this threshold
- >she reared up her back hooves and kicked the door
- "BUTTERSCOTCH!"
- >The mare screamed as she ran to the center of the expansive room
- >she stopped and looked up towards the throne
- >There her pink-maned friend sat, wearing some of the fanciest clothing she'd ever seen
- >an elaborately designed suit with a cloak over it
- >he was relaxing in his seat while holding a glass swirling it's contents around
- >seemingly unphased by her entrance, his eyes were focused on the glass
- >"Oh Applejack, don't you know better than bursting into somepony's home? You weren't' raised in a barn, were you?"
- >she furrowed her brow as she answered
- "This ain't yer home."
- >the stallion shifted his eyes towards her as a small smile grew behind his fangs
- >"It is now, dear. I'm surprised you made it this far..."
- "Weren't nothin'. Coulda made it here with mah eyes closed."
- >she adjusted her hat as she grinned
- >Butterscotch let out a small snicker
- >"I'm sorry, where are my manners? I am so glad you could make it!"
- >Applejack continued to stare down her friend
- >he clapped both of his hooves together
- >"Come to join the rest of our friends for my house warming party, no doubt?"
- >so he had captured ALL of their friends...
- "Where are they, Scotch? I swear if-"
- >"They're safe, my favorite little farmer, so don't worry. Would you like to see them?"
- >her glare was enough of an answer for him
- >he pulled out a small bell and rung it twice
- >Applejack's jaw dropped as a pony stepped out from behind a curtain near the throne
- "Rainbow..."
- >the pony slowly headed towards Butterscotch's throne
- >the blue pegasus looked towards Applejack with the most defeated look she had ever seen
- >she looked absolutely...
- >adorable
- >he had meticulously primped and preened her
- >she was wearing the cutest little maid outfit
- >it had been put on over her wings so she couldn't fly
- >her rainbow mane was styled in a beautiful way, with just a hint of makeup on her face
- >and a platter filled with fancy glasses precariously balanced on her back
- >as she reached Scotch's side, he ran his hoof through her mane
- >"Oh Rainbow Dash, it's good that you're finally getting the hang of this. You're going to make the absolutely best maid."
- >If her snout hadn't been bound in a fancy muzzle, she would have had a viciously snarky comment for him
- >"I'll make sure you get extra sugar cubes at dinner."
- >the orange mare stared on, somewhere in between screaming in horror and wanting to giggle
- "Scotch, how did you..."
- >"How did I, the meek and shy Butterscotch, defeat one of the toughest ponies we know?"
- >Applejack barely nodded in agreement
- >"Simple dear, I just used her own brashness and speed against her."
- "...but how?"
- >Butterscotch sighed as he continued
- >"She came bolting in, I gave her a timid look and curled up on the floor, and before I knew it she had careened into the wall."
- >oh.
- >"Really, she wasn't even the easiest to capture."
- >Applejack swallowed and her eyes grew slightly wider
- >he rang his bell again and the pegasus looked up at him
- >"Rainbow Dash, dear, please show off the rest of my collection to our guest."
- >the captured mare headed towards a rope hanging in front of a curtain and pulled it
- >Applejack gasped as the curtain was pulled back
- >the rest of their friends were situated behind the curtain
- "Guys... ah'm sorry..."
- >Applejack fell to her knees as she stared on
- >Butterscotch cleared his throat as he spoke up
- >he pointed to the dingy white unicorn with a messy mane behind a sewing machine
- >"Rarity was the second to show up. She came in trying to reason and charm me, but I know all her tricks."
- >Applejack looked over to the yellow stallion as he snickered
- >"Then she resorted to slinging gems and trying to wrap me up in cloth."
- "How... how did ya..."
- >"She gets her mane a little messy, and she looses all her concentration. Simple, really. Now she's making my new wardrobe. Right, Miss Rarity?"
- >without looking up from her work, the white unicorn answered him flatly
- >"Yes, Count Butterscotch. Your new suit is coming along nicely."
- >"And it looks very lovely! Now onto Pinkamena Diane..."
- >he pointed to the pink mare bustling about in a small kitchen area
- >"Hi AJ!" she said happily as she ran about, baking some fruit-laden dessert
- "Hey Pinkie."
- >"She came in here saying she wanted to make me laugh and smile, so I stared her down."
- "You didn't..."
- >"I did. She is now my head chef, and that does make me smile."
- >"Yay! thanks Count Scotchie!"
- >"oh, You're welcome, Pinkie. She probably would have joined me if I asked nicely, though."
- >he pointed his hoof out towards the purple mare, the last of their friends that had come to help him
- >"And now onto Missus Twilight Sparkle..."
- >Twilight was sitting with her head hung low, surrounded by stacks and stacks of books just out of reach
- >"She was the easiest to capture."
- >Applejack's mind was wandering
- >how could Twi get captured?
- >she always had a plan or a magic spell...
- "Scotch, how did Twilight-"
- >"Magic cancelling barrier around the room. She was absolutely powerless once she stepped past the threshold of the door."
- "Oh."
- >Twilight slowly lifted her head up to look at Applejack
- >"AJ, Help. He's got us chained to the floor. I can barely move around, and I can't even reach those books..."
- >Scotch spoke up, cutting her off
- >"I'm sorry, Twilight, but that's just so you can't get away. And those books are blank anyway."
- >Twilight groaned as she laid down on the floor
- >Applejack stared on in absolute horror
- >these were his best friends, and he had them captured
- >collecting them and keeping them like animals...
- >she grit her teeth as she slammed a hoof to the floor
- "Why'd ya do it, Scotch?"
- >"Why did I do it?"
- >he spun and stared at the orange mare, his expression turning into a snarl as he growled at her
- >"WHY DID I?"
- >AJ was slightly taken aback as he yelled
- >"Do you EVEN recall ALL the times you and my "friends" teased me? You knew I was shy, and didn't know how to handle it!"
- >AJ hesitated for a second before answering
- "Teasin'? But we're your friends, we don't..."
- >Butterscotch let out a groan
- >"No, you simple farm pony. Teasing me for being the single stallion in a group of mares!"
- >Oh.
- "Scotch, yah know we were just pickin'. I-"
- >"But ALL THE TIME? Even after I asked you to stop?"
- "Ah'm sorry, Scotch, if we were too flirty with ya..."
- >"It's not just being flirty, Oh no. You actually did slow down a bit, AJ..."
- >he snapped a hoof towards the other ponies
- >"But between Rainbow always wanting to 'wrestle', Rarity wanting to measure EVERY PART of my body, Twilight spouting off facts about sex, and Pinkie..."
- >out the corner of her eye, AJ could see Pinkie duck behind the small kitchen counter
- >"Do you even remember her big sleepover party?"
- >AJ heard a muffled "i'm sorry" from behind the counter
- >"Not just all of that either! All of the 'too-long' hugs and nuzzling and lifted tails as I walked behind you!"
- >Applejack's head sank slightly
- >she was definitely guilty of that...
- >"I can describe all of your marehoods in detail. I shouldn't be able to do that!"
- >AJ blushed at that statement
- "Ya didn't have ta look!"
- >"I couldn't help it! They were everywhere!"
- >Butterscotch stared down at his hooves
- >"But now, with this power..."
- >he licked the fangs that stuck from his mouth
- >"This wonderful power has given me so much strength and confidence..."
- >Applejack stared on with her mouth agape
- >"Now maybe you all will listen to me and stop!"
- >he snarled as he said those last words
- "But goin' this far, Scotch? This ain't right!"
- >Butterscotch's leathery wings flapped as he flew above the throne
- >"Many things aren't right, are they, Applejack?"
- "Ah'm sorry, but I guess they ain't."
- >"I can't wait for you to join us."
- >AJ readied her whip
- "Oh, and why's that?"
- >"I would like you to make some apple juice, please"
- "ah'll make sure to use the best rotten apples i got"
- >"There's only one rotten apple here, and she's standing before me."
- >Applejack snarled at that comment
- >"But enough talk! I mean, if that's okay."
- "Have 'atcha!"
- >Applejack and Count Butterscotch both bolted towards each other
- >The two ponies clashed in mid-air and threw the other off themselves
- >they both hit the ground on their hooves
- >staring each other down
- >Then leaped back at each other again
- >hooves flew and blows connected
- >Both were equally matched in speed and strength
- >this fight was a test of endurance
- >AJ's natural, yet exhausted strength versus Butterscotch's vampire enhanced abilities
- >the other four mares watched for what seemed like an eternity as the two friends went at each other
- >hooves swung, wings flapped and whips cracked
- >Scotch picked up AJ and tried to fly off, but she wiggled free of his grasp before he could do anything
- >then he let out a screech, and a swarm of bats appeared to aid him
- >they tried to swarm the orange mare, but she fended them off
- >at one point, they both stopped and looked at each other
- >"You certainly are putting up a good fight, Applejack."
- "I'm surprised yah had this in ya, Scotch."
- >"oh, um Thanks, AJ."
- >the mare noticed the faint smile on the stallion
- >"AJ, Watch out! He's gonna-"
- >Twilight yelled from the sidelines
- >Butterscotch's eyes grew wide as he tried to stare down Applejack
- >Those large, soft eyes were intensely drilling into the poor mare's vision
- >she quickly pulled her hat down as her hoof dug into her cloak
- >"Wait, wha-"
- *Krack*
- >Applejack's last boomerang cracked into the jaw of the stallion
- >and that sent him toppling to the floor
- >AJ stood her ground as she watched him get up
- "Ya alright, Scotch?"
- >he was wiggling his jaw with a hoof as he steadied himself
- >"Oh, i'm fine..."
- >The tone of his voice sent a sliver of fear into the poor mare
- >"But you may not be!"
- >he spun around as he leaped backwards and pulled something from his suit
- >it was just a simple white ball of fluff
- >no wait
- >that was...
- >he gently set it on the ground and pointed to Applejack
- >"Angel bunny, go get 'em! Help daddy!"
- >AJ could only stare on as Scotch's beloved animal companion stared at her with blood red eyes
- "Scotch. How could you..."
- >she couldn't finish that statement
- >the bunny had opened the razor teeth of it's maw
- >and it was coming right for her
- >AJ closed her eyes as she cracked the whip in front of her
- >she anticipated some form of pain...
- >A bite or scratching or something...
- >but when nothing came, she opened her eyes
- >all of the ponies stared on in amazement
- >she had wrapped Angel bunny in the whip
- >he was gnawing at it and squeaking up a storm
- >most likely viciously mocking her with some curses in rabbit language
- >"Angel, language."
- >the mare let out a breath she didn't know she was holding
- >She pulled the rabbit closer, and using a thread pulled from her cloak, hogtied him
- >the little critter's squeaking intensified
- >"where did he learn those words..." the yellow stallion mumbled
- >as she slid the rabbit to the side, Butterscotch just stared on with an open mouth
- >"That... he was my... secret weapon..."
- "Oh yeah?"
- >the mare smiled as she slowly walked closer to the yellow vampire pony
- >Scotch had begun to back towards a corner
- >her hoof was digging into her cloak
- "Yah wanna see mine?"
- >AJ pulled out one of the bottles hidden in her cloak
- >something perfect for taking on a vampire
- >A special bottle of blessed apple juice
- >Who knew that the Cutie Mark Crusaders had become priests?
- >As she raised her hoof holding the bottle above her head, Scotch's eyes grew wide
- >"I..."
- >Applejack swung her hoof down
- >the bottle shattered on the ground in front of the stallion
- >engulfing the area in front of him in blue flame
- >he shrieked as his back hit the wall
- >none of the flames got on him, but you wouldn't know that from his yelling
- >AJ stood there, another bottle in her hoof
- "That was just'n example. Wanna see it again?"
- >she said with a smile
- >the stallion's eyes were pinpricks as he stared at her
- >"No no no no, Please, AJ, I'm so sorry I'll never do it again..."
- >now it was her turn to stare him down
- >he had started to sweat and tremble beneath her
- >"I just didn't know what to do, and then this happened..."
- >he pointed at his fangs that stuck from his mouth
- >"...and the castle thing seemed right, and you all were, well, and, um-"
- >the mare stood above him, with the bottle still raised
- "Scotch, I ain't gonna be part of yah harem of breeding mares."
- >he gasped as his his hooves covered his mouth
- >"Applejack, I would never do that!"
- >she lowered the bottle slightly
- "do wha now?"
- >"all I ever wanted was to just cuddle with a mare, and..."
- >she smiled as she realized something
- >despite being a vampire pony, this was still the same old Butterscotch
- >the same timid, shy, nervous yet immensely kind little pony deep down
- >she knew exactly how to settle this
- >Butterscotch trailed off into silence as AJ sat the bottle on the ground
- "Cuddlin'? That's all ya wanted?"
- >"I, uh..."
- >the contents of her cloak rattled as it hit the floor, followed by her hat
- "Why didn' ya just ask?"
- >she was now undoing her hair ties, letting her mane flow free
- >"I just, um..."
- >Scotch squeaked as she sat on top of him
- >AJ had straddled the stallion's waist with her thick hips, pinning him to the floor
- >"um, you don't have to..."
- >he squeaked again as she wiggled her hips on him
- "Me n' you are gonna cuddle like no pony's ever cuddled before."
- >"AJ, I, you're... on my..."
- "Sorry"
- >she shifted her weight as she lowered her self onto him
- >she began unbuttoning his fancy jacket
- "Let's get ya outta this silly getup."
- >"i... I like that jacket..."
- >AJ looked back towards her friends as she threw the vampire's cloak and jacket their way
- >she wrapped her hooves around Butterscotch's neck
- "So you wanna be big spoon or little spoon?"
- >"I, uh, don't know..."
- "We'll just get to it and see what happens"
- >the two ponies began cuddling on the floor
- >hooves moving about and legs crossing
- >Butterscotch was thoroughly enjoying the company of his friend
- >her warmth, which was even more wonderful since he was now a vampire
- >the slight scent of cinnamon and apples she had
- >and the overwhelming feeling of everything being ok as he was in her embrace
- >Applejack ran her hoof through his hair as she spoke up
- "Scotch, ah'm sorry for all the teasin."
- >he smiled to her as he spoke up
- >"...and, um, I'm sorry about all this."
- "It's okay."
- >the cuddling continued for a few minutes
- >until something warm and firm poked Applejack in her stomach
- "Whoa there"
- >"i'm sorry..."
- "It's okay, Scotch, maybe you should be little spoon now..."
- >the two ponies rolled around and switched positions
- >after they were situated, Butterscotch looked up to see four mares standing over them
- >"Oh, Hi girls."
- >he nestled back into Applejack's hooves
- >then his eyes shot open
- >"GIRLS!?"
- >the four mares had stern looks on their faces
- >"Hello, Count Butterscotch..."
- >Twilight said to him, almost in a growl
- >he began to tremble as Applejack pet his head
- >"But... how did you... the keys were..."
- >he patted his hoof against his chest, feeling for his pocket
- >"in my jacket..."
- >"You mean this jacket?"
- >Pinkie Pie said, wearing the jacket he had on
- >oh...
- >Rainbow Dash, in her maid outfit, was pounding her hooves together
- >he couldn't see her mouth, but he knew she had a scowl on her face
- >Rarity stepped forward, glaring at Butterscotch
- >"Oh, Count, we would like to have a word with you..."
- >Scotch tried to back up further into Applejack's embrace
- "Y'all just give us a minute, then you can have ya turns..."
- >AJ said as she hugged onto the poor stallion, nuzzling his neck
- >Scotch just meekly looked up at the mares before him
- >"um, Girls... I, uh, oh..."
- >all four stared down at him
- >he just sheepishly grinned behind his fangs
- >"I'm sorry..."
