Strike saw the sun coming up that cold February morning, he covered them with a makeshift blanket and sat on a old wooden desk where he wrote on a old and degraded notebook. Day 30 No sign of infected still... I am now convinced that there is no vampiric activity here, outside from that noble I saw a couple of days ago... But I don't believe he'll do much, I'll leave him be until I see sign of threat... Ponies now are starting to run out of food and will soon have to go to maneland to get some more. If they decide to get a search party going I will join them, but I may not return to this place afterwards... I will keep on going to my mission... I still have no idea where I'll go afterwards, but until then there is still much to be done... I just hope I'm not to late to end this

Black Widow moved quickly, jumping slightly. Seeing that Demetria was not some vampire coming to claim her life, her muscles relaxed, and she took a sigh of relief.
"I never realized that anypony else got up. Name's Black Widow, by the way. Oh, is this your chair?" She asked quickly, getting up from the camping chair. She stepped back a little, keeping her eyes fixed on the city on the horizon.

he looked around, a small village in the short distance, he smirked. He slowly walked towards it, making sure to get his hair messy before getting any nearer.
"Urk." He motioned, raising an eyebrow at the two ponies looking at the torn down balitmare, "Sorry for disturbing.." He scratched the back of his head.

Black Widow heard a door open, and then close itself again. Another pony must've come out, again. She sighed, knowing full well that her alone time had been cut short for the day.
"Hey, stranger." She waved, not even bothering to look at James. She kept her eyes on the pier near Baltimare, pondering what they might be able to find inside. They didn't have much in the form of weaponry. Mostly makeshift weapons, like wooden poles, spiked bats, and the occasional crowbar. However, the weapons stockpiles were heavily guarded, and the survivors of the island were only allowed one personal weapon. However, when it came to firearms, there were none to be found. The last gun they had was a pistol, and once its previous owner got tired of living on the island, he made his excuses and left, taking the pistol with him.
Any ranged weaponry that the survivors on the island have consists of poorly made spears or a few inaccurate wooden bows, to which only a few arrows were made.

Black Widow laughed, a small, sarcastic laugh.
"I suppose you've not been keeping track of how much the others keep whining about our food stores. The crops are dead. We've got about two days left of food before we have to send a group to search for food back in the city." She said, getting up and pointing to the ever-visible Baltimare.
The pier seemed fairly empty, spare for a few corpses and makeshift 'SOS' signs. After looking through some binoculars, the cargo ships seemed fairly untouched, and the survivors decided that if they were to ever head back to the mainland, that'd be the first place they'd look. They then made some strategic scrounging plans, using maps chartered by the old city-planning director, who was the pony who had taken the pistol. They planned to search the surrounding apartment buildings after the ships, which no doubt had vast amounts of untouched supplies. They would then proceed to the grocery stores a few blocks down, but they had never made any plans after that.

It was a while since he had drank blood,vhe felt thirsty, and a bit exhausted.. ' Why do i feel so drowsy.. Its not becouse i just woke up.. argh.. i need.. more blood.

He yawned. " i guess ill be seeing you lads around" He sighed, walking back.

"That sounds fine." Black Widow waved James goodbye. He seemed rather strange, and she didn't know him all that well, but he seemed alright, compared to some of the other ponies she knew on the island.
"Hey, I was wondering..." She started speaking again to Demetria.
"When we send a team to check out the mainland, I was planning on going. I don't have a lot to offer, spare my knife, but I want to contribute... anyways, would you go?" She asked her, keeping her eyes on the mainland.
#13
Posted 14 February 2014 - 04:24 PM
"So.. will you?" he smiled, looking at the makeshift S.O.S signs in the distance. "Heh, and i think i know whats going to be our plan." He turned around, looking at some more ponies that had woken up and where already socialising and doing activities.
#14
Posted 14 February 2014 - 07:21 PM
"Yep. It's a shame we have no guns to do it with. I'd say that if you're gonna go, take either your sharpest weapon or perhaps your best spear." Black Widow looked out at the city, it was just a dull, gray place, left in decay, a boring.. quie-
BANG
Within the city, there was the loud boom of a gas station exploding. Black Widow turned her head quickly, as well as the ponies that had all woke up. A few ponies left their makeshift shelters to see what caused the noise.
"What happened?"
"Where was that from?"
"Was that a cannon?"
"Who caused that?"
Several questions came from the crowd that had gathered in order to examine the flaming explosion.

Posted 14 February 2014 - 08:21 PM
((Oh the intro post, how I hate thee))
Starlight stepped outside, letting the wind hit his face. He started to to make his way down from his hut to a small patch of grass. As he was walking by a couple of talking ponies he heard an explosion from the city.
"What the heck was that?"
He thought allowed as he turned to face the explosion. He turned to the group of ponies
"Hey, do you know what that was?"
#16
Posted 15 February 2014 - 03:37 AM
"Looks like another gas station exploded. Somepony must've dropped a grenade or something. Doesn't look like anything bad for us." Black Widow commented, waving her hoof to calm Sonor. However, as she kept looking, she saw a small, black form in the distance. It appeared to be getting larger, or rather, getting closer. As it neared it looked like a small yacht was approaching the island.
"Are those... survivors?" Black Widow thought out loud, getting up.
"Somepony grab some flares! We've got to signal them here!" She called out into the crowd, who rushed back into their homes to get some items to try and signal the yacht down to their camp. Black Widow, herself, went home, grabbing the other bright red winter coat that was left on her coat hanger. She was hoping that it, plus a combination of whatever the others could patch together, would be sufficient to flag it down. Perhaps they had things that they needed, food, water, perhaps even a gun or two.

Demetria went back to her shelter. She looked for something that could signal the other ponies. "Gosh that noise was shocking.", she thought. She found her white uniform and a large stick. She went back on the shore, hearing another explosion. "Another gas station? Really? Who could save us now?"
She was very worried. Maybe the flag trick won't work. She tried it anyways. She tied her uniform on the large stick, shouting, "Help! Help!" to anything that might pass by and save them.

"Didn't you hear! An explosion from a gas station which might accidentally take our lives when we don't know what to do! and can't you see that our only hope of surviving is that yacht! Oh my gosh! Ponies these days don't know how to take care of themselves and let nurses and doctors do the caring! Don't you know how hard it is! Sheesh!", Demetria said. Kicking sand anywhere while angrily stomping on the land. She couldn't think straight because of her anger.
"Why are some ponies so hard to understand. I'm so sorry."
#20
Posted 15 February 2014 - 04:57 PM
gas station explosion?.... Accident? Maybe... "Take our lives"?.. What the hell is she talking about... Hope of surviving is a yacht?... What..?... ponies...Don't know how to take care of themselves? What is she rambling about...?... Wait is she still going? Doctors do the caring?... I think she might actually be crazy... Through out the entire rambling of Demetria Strike only stared blankly as she kicked dirt around. then she said
"Why are some ponies so hard to understand, I'm so sorry"
I don't know you tell me...
Strike finally facehoofed and said "Can somepony please explain to me what is this crazy mare talking about?"
#21
Posted 15 February 2014 - 06:36 PM
Black Widow approached Strike, still waving the makeshift flag she had made.
"We're trying to signal the yacht down in hopes that there are ponies on it. They might need our help, and they also might have things that we need." She explained quickly, yelling with the others in hopes that perhaps they did have things that they'd need. As the boat approached, however, things seemed more bleak. As the pilot and passengers got into view, the yelling and waving slowly died down, until just the wind and the distant sound of a motor was all that could be heard.
Unless one was blind, anypony could tell that whoever was on the boat was infected. Five ponies in black hoods were at the bow, laughing almost maniacally. On the side of the boat, painted in red, was the words 'Blood Forever." The boat picked up speed, kicking up water as it sped up.
"Fresh blood!"
"I just want a taste!"
"All of them! All of the little blood-bags are mine!"
It was evident that they were all nobles, and they were carrying odd grey canisters in their hooves.
"Nobles! Grab the weapons! They're coming here!" Black Widow called out as the crowd fell into inevitable panic.
For the first time in two years, since the outbreak began, the island was under attack. The madness that the survivors on the island tried so desperately to escape had finally found them.
And it was hungry for blood...

"Any second now." Black Widow now had a much less dull look upon her face as she held her knife in her magic aura.
"I don't know that those canisters are, but I'm sure that they aren't good for us. Whatever you do, don't get bit..." She bowed her head quickly before turning to face the coming vampires.
The vampires on the front of the boat pulled a pin on each canister, and threw it at the ponies who had armed themselves. Before long, the island was coated in a thick blanket of grey smoke.
'Smoke grenades.. of course.. dull the effects of the sun...' Black Widow thought, readying her knife in front of her. Before long, however, it became evident that this battle belonged to the invading forces.
Having their strength increased due to the lack of sunlight breaching the smoke, the nobles easily overpowered the ponies in front, ripping into their necks before they even had a chance to notice. Blood flecked the grass in front of them, and ponies once ready to fight the monsters that threatened their livelihood had now fallen to the dirt, gasping for breath, or perhaps just lying still.
Most of the ponies behind the first wave fled, but a few charged forward, swinging wildly with their various makeshift weapons. Clanging metal, sharp blades tearing through flesh, and screams of agony were heard in the smoke, and it was soon evident that anypony who tried to fight such a large group of intelligent vampires was going to die.
Black Widow was in the third row, and it wasn't long before she did what anypony else would do. She galloped in the opposite direction of the nobles, trying to find her way into the sunlight.
"Come out here and fight, monsters!" She yelled out. She tried to begin another jeer, but soon trailed off as the reality of the situation hit her. It wouldn't be long before anypony who survived a bite to the neck would turn, due to the proximity of the bitten area to the brain. She had only a knife, and those around her didn't have much else, just other small weapons.
"Get out of the smoke!" She yelled into the crowd, to anypony who would survive long enough to hear her.

The pony that James attacked was caught off guard by James' attack, knocking his weapon directly out of his hands. Unsure of how to react, and hopeless of his survival, he just shrieked, almost sounding like a frightened child.
Black Widow was too busy looking out for other nobles to notice James. A noble had her in its sights, and was coming right at her. Not having enough time to think rationally, she just brought her knife up, and he tackled her.
Opening her eyes, she saw that her knife was embedded in the eye of the noble. It was in extreme pain, screeching and growling, so Black Widow took her chance. Using her magic, she pulled her weapon out of the noble's eye, and jabbed, aiming for his heart.
She felt a satisfying feeling of her blade jabbing into the noble's flesh, and it wasn't long before the vampire fell. She drew her blade out, ready to fight the next noble that attacked her.
One down, four to go... She thought, scanning the island for any of the other vampires.

James sunk his teeth into the neck of the loud pony fairly easily, and it wasn't long before the sweet taste of blood filled his mouth as the pony slowly grew silent, his mouth left agape as he began turning pale. Luckily. it appeared that nopony noticed James as he fed off of the helpless pony.
Black Widow had run further back from the smoke, and it appeared that the other ponies weren't faring much better than they were before. Only one other noble had been killed, plus the one that Black Widow killed, and it appeared that the others were no match for what was left of the nobles. Also, some of those who had been bitten began slowly rising, their eyes dilated, their flesh pale, and their teeth enlarged. They almost immediately began dying from the sun, as the smoke clouds started to disperse. The ones who were rising were obviously ferals, as the displayed no show of intelligence. They were quite dangerous, but their movements were slow and painful, as they had no protection from the sun, in contrast to the attacking nobles.
Black Widow looked around. The number of ponies that were around her had dropped. Was there a noble behind them? Did they jump into the fight? She was unsure. She couldn't think clearly due to the many noises of the battle. Broken weapons were strewn all around the ground, as well as the bodies of those that didn't turn into ferals, dying from their wounds.

Starlight ran over to Black Widow, a blood stricken knife in his mouth
"You doing ok? This is quite something"
He looked around at the slowly rising ponies. He backed away slowly, trying to get into brighter sunlight.
"We should get out of here. Just a few nobles can take us out let alone all of the ferals, we should get out while we can and try to regroup with any other ponies that survived, it's the only way we'll survive."

"If we're getting out of here, we're going to have to get to the yacht. If we're going to do that, we're going to have to go straight through a crowd of bloodsuckers. But those ferals shouldn't take long to die!" She yelled out. The yelling became quieter as the population of ponies kept getting smaller and smaller. Only three ferals remained, but the ferals around them could do nothing but scream in pain as they were burned to death by the sun. If they all worked together, then maybe they could take out the remaining ferals... it'd be a long shot, but it'd be better then just running... Black Widow looked around, counting how many uninfected ponies were left. James appeared to have been literally torn apart.
"Poor bastard..." She thought aloud, looking at his blood-covered form.

Black Widow readied her knife, standing next to the two stallions.
"I think Demetria and Strike are still alive. We should look for them too." She said, keeping her blade in a readied position.

The smoke came and soon the vampires attacked Strike moved to the middle of it and there he met one of them. "I am sorry brother, but to ensure our survival I will destroy the excessive number of infected"
The noble simply looked at him laughing "So you rather help this sacks of blood instead of your own kind? HAHAHAHA you will die as a traitor"
With this the pony launched himself with a right hoof jab. Strike did the same with his left hoof. In the end both of them locked a punch on the side of each other's face. They were both sent flying across the battlefield. They both got up at a surprising fast, and ran up against each other once again. But Strike stopped mid way and turned around ready to buck the vampire when he came.... And so he did kicking the vampire straight in the chest sending him flying into a wooden hut crashing the wall.
Strike ran into the hut but when he got there, nopony was there. He carefully walked through the the hut looking for the vampire but he was nowhere in sight. When suddenly the vampire jumped into Strike's back shoving a pointy wooden stick in his left shoulder. "AARRGH" Strike yelled in agony as he shoved the pony on his back into the ground. Once the vampire was in the ground Strike tried to hit him with his right hoof. but he rolled to the side, only leaving a big crack on the ground. it was then that Strike pulled the wooden stake out of his shoulder, screaming "AAAAHHH" But he had barely any time to defend himself against a vicious punch from the monster. At last Strike gathered his strength and with a decisive punch he stunned his enemy. He used this opportunity to shove the wooden stake into the vampire's heart and impaling him to the wall.
Few minutes later Strike came out of the hole in the wall, flying low while holding his shoulder. When getting out he saw Black Widow and another pony... Sonar was his name. "Hey!" He shouted "You two managed to survive did ya?"

Black Widow examined Strike, the first thing she noticed being the wound on his shoulder. She immediately turned her knife on him, in case he had already turned.
"Were you bit!?" She exclaimed, keeping the blade pointed straight at him. She looked at James for just a brief moment, and then felt the same feeling.
"What about you, James? Did you get bit?" She pointed her knife at him as well, ready to strike if she needed.
#38
Posted 16 February 2014 - 03:56 AM
"Strike wasnt bit, his wound is more deep then a bite, and theres no marks! S-See?" He weakingly pointed towards strike, trying to make his lies believable, since he knew, strike was aswell a noble.
"Could we get to the boat? I dont want to get backstabbed by some... bloodsucker like them.. " He looked at the diseased vampires.

Strike was ready to answer the question but James got to it first. He's helping me?... Interesting, it would be a shame to have to put him down... So for your sake James, don't give me a reason to put you down.
Strike turned to Black Widow. "If you really think I was bitten I will gladly show the wound to you,when we are out of this mess"
Strike then slowly flew close to the group while still holding his shoulder. "Now the only one left is that crazy mare.... Where could she possibly be?"
#41
Posted 16 February 2014 - 10:47 PM
"We should try the boat. She may have already found it and thought it could be used to get away. But if she's not there then she could be anywhere, hiding, dead, or one of them. We should head to the boat and wait for as long as possible. Hopefully, if she isn't already there, she'll find us and we can get out of here."
Starlight looked around and the smokey battlefield, the dead lying everywhere. He saw faces of friends scattered here and there. Sadness filled him but he had to shake it of. There was no space for sadness or pity when trying to survive.
"We should get moving. We don't want to get caught by any vampires left alive"
((Quick question: Why are James and Strike helping us. I mean they're vampires and we're unsuspecting ponies. What do they have to gain from not eating our faces?))

((It explains on my BIO, but to summarize, Strike sees that the vampire infection is growing at alarming rate, meaning eventually there will be no more ponies and vampires as a whole will starve to death. Strike is trying to reduce the vampire population as best he can. Don't get me wrong Strike still sees ponies as food, but when the are less predators the number of preys grow, meaning in the future he'll have plenty of food))

((Eternal Galaxy hasn't posted all day, so we'll just assume her character is on the yacht.))
"I think you're right, Starlight. She seemed like a smart mare when I talked to her. Let's just get out of here while we still have the chance." Black Widow looked around, and when it seemed that the nobles were distracted, she bolted for the yacht, her knife still in her magic aura. She thought for a moment what would happen to the nobles still left on the island, but she settled for believing that they'd painfully starve to death eventually. It'd serve them right for destroying their only safe haven, along with the few ponies she had come to know. She looked back for a brief moment, seeing buildings covered in blood, the ground covered in what looked like sun-burnt bodies, which in reality were the fresh ferals who had died in the sunlight, their cadavers still 'steaming' from the noon sun.

Starlight ran along side Black Widow, trying to speak whilst running
"Where should we go... once we've... escaped from this island?"
He asked, struggling for breath. The fight he'd had with a nobel had cost him a lot of energy so he wasn't exactly ready for a spring. He looked around at the bodies on the ground. New ferals rising and falling from the sunlight. He shut his eyes to this and just focused on running to the yacht, there only way out.
((How come this has never happened before? It only took five nobles to take over the island, surly that could have been tried before. Also how did James survive for two years without blood? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to learn the canon of this story for future reference))

((They weren't armed with smoke grenades, and they had guns back then; and James didn't say it was two years without blood, he could've killed ponies on the island. It's ok, the canon here isn't as solid as I should've made it XD))
"We should get to the docks. We can rest for a bit and then see what we can do in the city." Black Widow said, huffing.
A Noble, that was feasting on the blood of a fallen pony, looked back at the others, who had started galloping for the yacht.
"Just where do you think you're going!?" It yelled, galloping for them.
"Starlight, we have trouble!" Black Widow sped up, pushing herself as hard as she could in a desperate attempt to reach the yacht, with the blood-stained noble gaining on them quickly.

Posted 18 February 2014 - 12:58 AM
Strike slowly looked at Black Widow and Sonar and then back at the Noble coming at them. "You two,go to the boat" He flew in front of them facing the vampire. "I'm already, wounded I would only slow you guys. So let me take care of him while you all escape. At least this group of ponies is one that he ain't gonna touch" Strike was now panting heavily while holding his shoulder. "Go now you don't have much time"
#49
Posted 18 February 2014 - 01:11 AM
"Strike!" Black Widow called. If he was brave enough to take on a Noble for them, he must've been smart enough to at least try to escape with them.
"What do you think you're doing?" The Noble came to a halt as he found himself impeded by Strike.
"You just ran away from food, you moron. They're food. We're predators. Why are you fighting it?" He said, slowly advancing as his fellow surviving nobles did the same.
"You'll die for betraying us, fool!" A middle-aged stallion yelled.
"When we're done, the crows won't even bother with what's left!" The young adult mare screeched, baring her teeth.
#50
Posted 18 February 2014 - 01:27 AM
Strike simply grinned. "Yes we are predators, but what good is to be a predator when there is no food to eat" Strike started to ready himself for the possible upcoming battle. "Now before you say ooh you just let the food escape, well let me teach you a bit of biology. Ponies don't grow day from night and right now there are way too many vampires roaming about killing ponies ." that means ponies eventually will be extincted meaning vampires will starve to death" Strike scratched the back of his head "I don't know about you but I don't wanna have to endure the agonizing pain of starvation." Strike made a quick stop to let the idea sink in. "My original plan was just to destroy those feral filth the plague this land, but if you bastards want to die right here right now, you'll be doing a great favor to Vampire kind"
((Three of them... Really... I'm so fucked))

Posted 18 February 2014 - 02:09 AM
"You must not've been a vampire for long, newblood. You haven't experienced even being close to starvation if you're still fighting against us. We NEED blood. You have no idea how unbearable the pain can get, even after just a week without blood. If you expect us to wait for ponies to create a new generation to start feeding again, then you're mad. It'd be hard enough to do, considering the amount of ferals we'd have to keep under control, let alone the other nobles. Also, news flash, do you have any clue how long and how difficult it'd be to crowd ponies into a small enough area to do such a thing? Years from now, maybe something like that will be possible, when ferals start dying off. But for now, I'm thirsty, and so are the few hundred thousands of others like us out there." The feral that had first spoke to Strike had said, his two companions stopping in their tracks. He must've been a scientist in life, considering his logical ability.
"And could you imagine how booooring it'd get?" The mare spoke up.
"Why wait to get cold blood served to you in a bag when you can experience the joy and challenge of hunting a pony, with the looovely reward of getting delicious, warm blood straaaight from their necks?" She spoke, holding onto certain words, almost drooling as she kept talking.

Demetria was actually hiding in the inside of the yacht. Before the yacht went to shore, she hid into some trees. Once the Nobles went out, she knew she was safe. She ran inside, waiting for the other ponies. She peeked at the deck of the yacht, and saw her companions. "Uh oh. Got to hide, defend myself."
She knew that the vampires were taking to her companions. Suddenly, something made her fall and was attacking her. "Get it off! Get it off! Aaaahhh!" Her shout was so loud that even an airplane could hear it. It was a vampire. She thought of defending herself. She punched the vampire and tried to go to the deck. But, the vampire pulled her. She was pushed to a wall, and rope tied around her hooves. "Shh... It's alright. Just one bite, and every single thing will be gone."
"My companions will get you, Psycho!" "Hmm... I bet. Haha." Demetria felt a sharp pain on her neck, then felt something sucking her blood. "Help...h..e...l..p...me..." Then, everything went black.

Strike was starting to think this was useless. "I won't stop you from eating, Ponies will die of course. What I want you all to do is to destroy the ferals... Why should day be allowed to live when they lack the intelligence to use our full power? The ignorant and weak should be destroyed , while we the Nobles can keep our customs of hunting without the worry of preserving the normal ponies." Strike scratch the back of his head " You want to feel the taste of warm blood? Be my guest just be sure the pony in question is dead. We can't have ferals running about ca we?"

The stallion at the front of the group shook his head, approaching Strike angrily, along with his two companions.
"I've just sacrificed my own friends just so I can live for another two months, and you expect me to leave fresh kills alone? Cold blood tastes like it came out of an old trash can, but I'm sure you wouldn't know that. You just wait until The Thirst takes you, friend. You just bucking wait until you're with to your brother, mother, or best friend, and they're right next to you. Oh, that's when things get bad. When it gets bad enough, you'll do things you thought you were never capable of. You'll kill or infect anypony just to make it stop. If you can't find anypony you can kill, then I'm certain you know what happens next." He started to step back lightly, setting his forehoof on the neck of a mare who was just barely alive.
"Go ahead. You run off with your friends and try to save this forsaken world. But make sure they're all aware that their days are numbered, and so are yours." At that last word, he sunk his teeth into the mare, killing her from shock almost instantly, feasting on her warm blood as his two companions started to join in.

Black Widow had made her way onto the yacht, examining the thing. She noticed a box nearby, simply labeled 'equipment.' She assumed that there were probably more smoke grenades in there, and maybe a few more deadly items. She looked around a bit more, and noticed a familiar pony, seemingly unconscious as a noble bit into her neck.
Demetria.
"Get off of her, freak!" She drew up her knife, making a stab at it's head. It went in, but since he was a noble, it just gave him a migrane, but it was enough to make him pull away from Demetria's neck, his mouth dripping with fresh blood. She pulled the blade away and stabbed again, this time at it's heart. The noble smirked, quickly dodging her blade, which left a dent on the floor of the boat. He charged at her, but only managed to knock her out of the way, not onto her back, like he wanted.
"Hey Starlight! Little help!?" She called out, bringing up her bloodied knife if he were to charge before help arrived.

"Godamn it.. their stealing fresh kills these assholes!" He got up, and looked at the fight. "Okey, im tired of faking!" He smirked as he sprinted towards the noble, pusing black widow out of his way. When he got close enough to the noble he tried pushing him off deck...

The noble was shoved away from Black Widow, but instead of being pushed off of the side of the ship, he just hit it with a loud thud. Black Widow looked up at James, noticing his strength had returned at a near miraculous rate.
'Tired of faking? What does he mean?" She thought, trying to piece together what just happened. She got up, and in an attempt to try and help James, she looked through the equipment box for something of use.
The box contained some decent equipment, mostly smoke grenades, with a frag in the mix here and there. Either kind would be useless, however. A smoke grenade would probably make the situation worse, and a frag grenade would probably kill the noble and James in the resulting explosion, as well as sinking the ship. She quickly pushed the cylindrical grenades to the side, searching for something more suitable.
After a bit of rummaging, she found a flare gun. She checked to make sure it was loaded, which it was, but there weren't any more flares to be found in the box. She closed the breech, brought it up, and took careful aim, not wanting to hit James. Before she could pull of a shot, however, the noble was already starting to fight back against James.
"What do you think you're doing!? She's mine, flankhead!" The noble aimed a punch at James's head.

Idiots.... They'll create their own downfall.... Pity... But sometimes ignorance is a bliss. Strike simply bowed his head and said " I look forward for our next meeting" With that he flew back to the yacht. When he got close to it on the beach, he heard what it looks like fighting inside. "It appears our little group found some trouble.... I really hope is not that yellow Noble... It'll be a pity to put him down" he slowly walked in the direction of the yacht.

"Agh fuck, i think that rose too much suspicion.. Me magically healing up.. Grrr." He tought, letting out a slight snarl when he tried to grab the noble.

Black Widow took aim with the flare gun, gripping it in her magical aura. She looked down the barrel, and in a split second, she pulled the trigger, sending a bright orange flare in the direction of the noble.
"AaaaAAAAAAH!!!!" The noble screeched out in pain. The flare had hit right where Black Widow wanted it to, directly into his face. His patchwork cloak started burning, and he soon started thrashing about wildly, screaming in pain.
"Now James! Kill him! The heart!" Black Widow yelled out, readying her knife in case he failed.

Demetria woke up from her place. She was definitely not in heaven. She was still on the yacht. She hid herself to avoid the sun. "Guys, I've been bitten! I'm getting infected. Help me! Get my kit, its over there", while pointing a white box with medical supplies in it.
#61
Posted 24 February 2014 - 02:15 PM
"Now demetrias bit. Damn it! Now lets just hope she doesnt rat me out!" He tought, snarling slightly as his knife was getting closer to the trashing noble.
#62
Posted 24 February 2014 - 10:24 PM
((What about his short-sword?))
The noble, that was already distracted by the fact that he was burning alive, was easily killed by James. He stopped thrashing about as soon as his heart was pierced, and fell limp, his clothing still on fire.
As James had instructed, Black Widow had sheathed her knife and went over to Demetria, who wasted no time announcing her infection. Shocked, she galloped to her medical kit, bringing it over to her.
"I have no clue how to use half of this stuff.. If we're going to try and stop you from turning, we're going to have to find a hospital. If we can get the stuff for a blood transfusion, then maybe we can keep you from turning into a vampire." She said quickly, but her ears drooped as she continued to speak.
"I have to let you know now... if we can't find anypony with a matching blood type... we're going to have to... kill you..." She said slowly, taking in the reality of the situation. There was very little chance that they were going to find clean blood bags, or even those matching her blood type, if she even knew what it was.
"It's a long shot, but we're going to do our best to save you... ok?" She said slowly. She turned her head to Starlight, who had just started climbing onto the yacht.
"Get this hunk of steel out of here before those nobles get wind of us." She said sternly and sharply.

Star ran over to the engine and tried turning it on. It took a few attempts before the motor came to life. He took one last look at the island to conform no one else was moving towards them. Most would probably never move again. Once the boat had started to leave the island he turned to Black Widow
"We should be safe for now. Just as long as she doesn't turn. The nobles that used this boat should have filled it up for a return journey, unless they're not as smart as we give them credit for."
#64

"Alright. Let's just get out of here." Black Widow said, closing up the small gate to the yacht and looking back at the carnage of the island one last time. The buildings were set ablaze in the chaos, as the gasoline storage must have somehow caught fire. Dead bodies laid all over the small island, their teeth grown sharp as they had turned into ferals and proceeded to die in the sun. The three surviving ferals were still feeding on the last mare left, too distracted in feeding to even care about the survivors who were leaving.
"We should head for the mainland, then we need to look for a hospital. Look around for any guns we can get, I'm sure the hospital is swarming with ferals." She opened the equipment chest, and after shifting through the grenades, she located an item that she hadn't found in the chaos of trying to help James.
There was a box of flares lying at the bottom of the chest. She opened the metal lid of the box, and found seven flares still in the box.
"We've got a flare gun, that's a start." She said, waving the empty flare gun in the air along with the box of flares, loading one into the breech.

Strike was climbing the boat when the flare went off. "You kids are having a rave or something?" Then Black Widow proceeded to close the door. Upon Further inspection he saw Demetria lying on the floor. "Tsk tsk tsk... What do we have here?" Looking back at the group Strike simply stated. "Let's hope she doesn't become Feral.... I would hate to put this one down" Strike sat down and made himself comfortable "So what do you plan on doing with that little hellspawn over there?"
#66
Posted 25 February 2014 - 01:50 AM
"Who, the dead noble? Probably toss him overboard once he stops burning. Why?" She asked, shutting he lid on the box of flares.
((Short response because it's just a conversation))

Posted 25 February 2014 - 02:00 AM
Strike sighted. "I meant the one that is still breathing... Over there" He points at Demetria. "Hmm a soon to be turned vampire on a boat.... Full of survivals... I wonder who she'll go for first..." He stretched himself a bit "Is it fate or chance? I can never decide"
#68
Posted 25 February 2014 - 02:07 AM
"Shut up. We're going to find a hospital, we're going to get what we need for a blood transfusion, and we're gonna save her. If I hear you talking like that one more time, I don't mind using another flare." She placed the weapon in an empty area in her wind-breaker's pocket, scowling at Strike.

"Shes going to turn soon. Starkight needs to hoof it." He turned to starlight, faking a worried expression. "By the way.. Sorry to fake my injuries. "Now i need a shower.. eh.." He chuckled, looking at his dried bloodied hooves.

Demetria tried to look for some linen bandages. She found one and wrapped it around her wound. Be strong, Demetria. You won't turn. Faith, faith. Faith will save you, and some blood bags too, I guess. Just remember, you won't turn., she thought to herself.
She spotted some medical tape and placed it on the bandages. She tried to sit down. She closed her medical kit and focused on the daylight. She made sure everything was alright.

Posted 27 February 2014 - 10:53 AM
"Alright Starlight, let's just get out of here. We should try to raid for medical supplies while the sun is still out. If we're lucky, maybe the hospital isn't too infested." Black Widow thought out loud. She cursed under her breath about how the gas station was blown apart, probably by the Nobles, because if it wasn't, they could've made some firebombs to clear the hospital with. She considered how effective her flare gun might be, but she also got a bit worried that perhaps the others might try to take it from her. She double checked that she had it before trotting to the stern. looking at the city.
The place was in ruin, but it also seemed that not a lot of uninfected had been there, or rather, made it there. If luck was on their side, they would be able to find some blood bags, and the equipment for a successful transfusion, and Demetria would be fine. However, it seemed that their luck had been on a downward slope since the day began, and she wasn't too faithful in their success.

The warehouse she had taken accommodation in was near the docks. She landed softly onto the stone path. She walked up it, trying to keep to the shadows. She decided to take flight again, look for anything unusual. She flapped her wings, slowly going into the air. She had to keep slow and quiet this time, to avoid anything looking for her. As she got higher, she noticed a boat. She saw ponies on it. Not thinking twice, she swiftly flew towards it.
Now she was very near the group, though not too near to be attacked. She could recognise well that one of them was being turned. She landed on the docks, taking off her hood.
"You guys." She called out to them. "You need to get somewhere safe! I can lead you to a warehouse nearby." She waited for them to reply. She hoped they would trust her, despite being a vampire. If they didn't, she didn't want to think what could happen to them. She had already went through the process of being turned, she didn't want many more ponies to go through it too.

Black Widow turned quickly, aiming her flare gun at the odd new pony. When she realized that she was friendly, she relaxed.
"I'm so sorry... I thought you were a vampire..." She said softly. She lifted her head up and spoke once again, a bit firmer this time.
"Thank you, but I'm afraid we'll have to decline. One of our friends was bitten in an attack... We're going to try and find a hospital to get blood bags so we can try to treat her... If you have any weapons you can give us, however, it'd be greatly appreciated." She said, looking back at Demetria. She knew that finding what they needed was highly unlikely, but she decided she would stick to it. Not only because of the emotional toll being put on Demetria, but the thought of having her turn into a vampire in the middle of the night was frightening enough when they barely had any weapons.

Autumn crouched in the shadows of a building, holding her sharp spade to her chest and praying the ponies wouldn't notice her. They might be friendly but she wasn't taking chances. It was hard to keep from shivering in the cold. She had nothing but her scarf to keep her warm. Glancing back, she began to shuffle backwards through the small alleyway. Each hoof placed precariously to keep from making noise, it was a slow process. If they started coming this way she was done for. If she moved too quickly she might trip and alert them, as well as anything wishing to harm her, to her position. I shouldn't even be out this late! Autumn thought. She had gone too far searching for supplies. Worry clouded her mind and she forgot about her careful steps. She slipped, and disturbed some loose rocks. Dammit. She froze.

"We'll go to this junk yard you speak of, but then we're going to raid the hospital. The fact of the matter is, we have to try and help her. It's better if we try to do something than to just let her turn." She spoke to Lumière, but turned quickly when James moved towards the sound.
"James, what do you see?" She asked, looking out into the city. They were getting close to the pier, and the city was much more detailed in the afternoon light. They could see other boats, although most would've required a key to use. The gas station that had been blown up could be seen not too far away, still blazing, with a few charred corpses around it.
"Starlight, stop the boat." Black Widow said a little loudly so that they wouldn't crash.

Spectrum flew up and over the clouds. She had a good day, she found another warehouse and some more notes. Spectrum had them in her saddlebag, but she was going to look for supplies first before she went home. As she flew toward the port, she noticed a ship moving from the Island of Survivors as she called it. Spectrum took out her one of her sais and flew toward the ship. As she landed on one side she could hear someponies talking, but what she wanted was the supplies. Swiftly and silently, Spectrum opened the door to the lower decks and went inside.
