Crimson Promise (A Sunlight FanFic)

Chapter 1: A New Student Part: 1

Sunset Shimmer wasn't just any normal girl, she was a vampire. Sunset's friends knew that she was a vampire since the day she helped defeat the Dazzlings. She was turned because she was sick with the flu. Sunset was turned because she had a disorder called immunodeficiency disorder. If it hadn't been for Starlight turning her, she wouldn't have survived.

Sunset decided to go for a quick hunt. She found a delicious squirrel nearby in a park. She used her speed and strength to capture and killed it immediately. She felt her fangs extended in response to her growing hunger. She lifted the now dead squirrel to her lips, her mouth salivating at the smell of its blood. She sunk her fangs into its jugular vein, releasing a steady stream of blood. She drank every drop until the squirrel was bone dry. She dropped it into a trash cash as she headed to catch up with her friends.

Sunset was walking to Canterlot High with her friends, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, Rarity, and Fluttershy. She was glad her friends went to the same school as her.

"Darling, did you hear about the new transfer student from Crystal Prep?" chimed Rarity as the all of the girls gather together in front of the wondercolt statue. All the girls turned to look at Rarity in shock.

Sunset was surprised to hear that anyone from Crystal Prep would transfer to Canterlot High. 
"Really? What's their name?" asked Sunset, curious about the new student. Rainbow Dash scoffed.

"Who cares about who they are! They probably are sending someone to make us look bad for the Friendship Games!" shouted Rainbow Dash. She was still upset with the last Friendship Games.

Sunset sighed. She knew that Rainbow Dash cared a lot about winning the Friendship Games for Canterlot's school pride.

"I really doubt they would do that, Rainbow Dash," said Applejack. Rainbow Dash looked at Applejack, "Besides, what exactly does the new human know about our school? I heard that she was quiet but very smart." continued Applejack.

Before the girls could say more about the new student, the bell rang. Sunset grabbed her bag, running to her math class. She sat in the second seat to the front. She was always particularly bored in math class. She was too good at it. It wasn't like dealing with a vampiric hunger or equestrian magic.

Just then the teacher walked in. "Okay class, today we will continue our lesson on algorithms," said, Celestia. Sunset looked around at the bored students around. She sighed. She was in for two long boring hours of math.

She quickly finished the assignment and her homework for the week. She handed it to the teacher.

"My, my, my, Miss Shimmer, you are very good at your work. May I suggest that join Honor roll?" asked Celestia. Sunset was shocked to hear that she could even apply to the Honor roll. She figured that kids usually in 11th to 12th grade even got an opportunity to apply. "Well, I will think about it, Ms. Celestia," replied Sunset.

Sunset was glad when she heard the lunch bell ring that afternoon. She had to sit through three boring classes. Sunset managed to keep her bloodlust under control. She immediately ran to the nearest bathroom. Finding an empty bathroom, Sunset quickly locked the door. She couldn't risk anyone at CHS discovering her secret.

She pulled out a bag of rabbit blood. She didn't tell Fluttershy what type of blood she drank because she knew Fluttershy would oppose. She finished the bag in seconds. She quickly washed it out before carefully tucking it back into her bag. She cleaned herself and the bathroom up before leaving.

She met her friends at their usual lunch spot. "Hey Sunset, did you take care of your hunger?" asked Applejack. Sunset nodded.

"Yep, it's all taken care of," replied Sunset. She was glad most of her friends were okay with it. Fluttershy avoided any eye contact with Sunset when it came time to talk about that stuff.

Sunset felt bad that she made Fluttershy nervous around her. She did her best to be a good friend. But Fluttershy still felt uneasy around her.

Pinkie Pie, please come to the office.

Everyone looked at Pinkie Pie, wondering if she was in trouble. Sensing what her friends were thinking, Pinkie said, "I volunteered to show the transfer student around CHS." Sunset and everyone smiled at Pinkie.

"Say 'hi' for us, darling," called Rarity. With that, Pinkie headed towards the office.

Sunset decided to join Pinkie in welcoming the new student. Sunset and Pinkie walked to the front desk.

"Hey, Cadence. Where is the new wondercolt arrival?" asked Pinkie Pie, she was practically jumping up and down. Sunset looked at Pinkie, saying, "Maybe when we meet the new student, don't overdo it on the excitement, okay Pinkie?" Pinkie nodded. "Okay, you're probably right. I don't want to overwhelm them.' replied Pinkie.

As they waited for someone to lead them to the new student, they talked.

" So, do you think this new student will be nice? I mean, they are from Crystal Prep. And I wonder why they would want to come here." said Sunset, her voice a low whisper. She didn't want anyone to accidentally overhear their private conversation. Pinkie seemed oblivious to Sunset's worries.

"I am sure they are as nice as a cold ice cream sundae on a summer day," replied Pinkie, in her usually cheerful and positive manner. Sunset smiled at her cheery friend, hoping she was right.

Sunset and Pinkie were lead by Cadence to Principle Luna's office. As they walked in, they were greeted by Luna and a girl with moderate sapphire and violet hair that had moderate rose streaks in it.

"Sunset, Pinkie, this is Twilight Sparkle. She has just recently transferred here from Crystal Prep." said Luna, introducing Twilight to Sunset and Pinkie. Twilight looked up at the two girls and waved nervously at them. She pushed her glasses up to keep the falling off her nose.
