I'm one too... but..) A full moon rose over Mobius; showering the darkness with it's light. A night of endless ecstasies and horrors. . . The night of one creature. The Vampire; a bringer of death and sexual desires. . The Forest was its quiet self this night. The numbat smiled, exposing her razor sharp fangs. Her long bushy tail swayed gently in the midnight breeze. The stripes down her back seemed to dance with the shadows of the green embers. Her snout slowly ri ses into the air, she breaths in deep . . . she smells food near by. The lake was the closest thing here, a smile crossed her face, the musky smell was a symbol of a male's presence. . . Sonic the Hedgehog sighed with boredom, "Man," he complained, "I hate watchin' for the ring, it's soooo slow!" He pitched a rock into the lake, creating a few ripples across the water's surface. The rustling of leaves from behind caused Sonic to swirl around and jump into a defensive posture. "Who's there?" he demanded. "Friend or Foe?" A small, sinister giggle came from the bushes. ". . . Sal? Is that you?" asked Sonic. "I be no Sally," replied a voice. Sonic trembled slightly as two red eyes came into view. "My name is Roxane Vorador. I be friend if you'll have me as one." The numbat stepped into view, her black tights clinging firmly to her sleek body, her white, loose shirt moved with the wind. "Good Evening, Sonic the Hedgehog." Sonic's eyes widened. "H-how did you know who I was?" Roxane moved close to him and pressed her hands on his chest, he pulled back suddenly as the coldness of her hands chilled his blood. "Oh come now, Sonic Hedgehog," she smiled. "I don't bite. . ." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. Sonic didn't react as she expected, he remained frozen in place. She slowly started to fall on her knees, letting her hands roam o ver his chest and stomach. Sonic flinched when he felt her nails rake his stomach slowly, drawing blood. "Mmmm" her long stickly tongue darted from her mouth and lapped every precious drop of blood that fell. She moved her tongue higher, back up to h is neck, and without any other warning . . . she bit. The hedgehog gasped at the pain and tried to push her away, her gentle touch became a grip of death. "Let me go!" he growled, attempting to dislodge her. She laughed coldly and continued to suck his essence away. "I like you Sonic Hedgehog. . .you'll do me well. . ." her teeth pierced deeper, the hedgehog screeched in pain. "welcome, to the next level." Chapter 1 Princess Sally slept peacefully in her hut as the morning rose from the darkness of night. She hugged her pillow tightly and mumbled the word 'Sonic' as the light began to shine its rays on the Princess. Birds began to sing their wake-up calls to the M obians, the sound of children being let out to play began to fill her ears . . . then, without warning. . . it stopped cold. The sun's rays halted, the children's playful cries ceased, and the birds fluttered away. Sally's eyes opened suddenly at the su dden lack of noise, she rose from her bed when the sound of wind and clouds arising from the clear skies strangely occurred. The wind gushed through her window as she approached it, placing her hands on the window frame, and forced herself to view the sk y. . . a mist of gray and black circled the sky, the scent of evil in the air grew strong, the thickness of the strange mist increased as Sally looked towards the forest and saw Sonic stumbling into Knothole, his neck slashed open and his eyes vacant. "S onic!" she screamed. The Hedgehog looked up at her and moaned softly before collapsing from exhaustion. * * * Sally sat by Sonic in the sick bay's ICU unit, her eyes watered as she gazed into the closed eyes of her lover, no matter what feelings she had for him she just could not allow herself to break down in front of the residents of Knothole. She had proved she was strong when the two tailed fox came running up to her asking what happened to Sonic and how he was recovering. She kept a strong face as she picked up the kit and told him everything would be okay. Sally had thought that was the hardest thing sh e had ever done, but she was wrong. Sitting by the side of Sonic, as his vital signs slowly decreased, was the hardest. Sonic was barely conscious when he heard Sally's quiet sobs. He couldn't open his eyes, he was far too weak to consider such a task, he couldn't feel his lungs working on their own, he felt a machine doing their work for him. His heart barely continued its job, he felt betrayed by his body, the body he had since the day he was born was betraying him after only fifteen years. He could feel his own heart beat now, like a magnification, *rethump* each cycle hurt his chest *Rethump!* *rethump* the cycles were slowing. . . *Re-thump* Sonic managed to turn his head to Sally and open his eyes. *re--t--hump* Sally looked down at him, her eyes still red from tears. "L-o-v-e . . .y-o-u." *R-e-t-h-u-m---------* "Sonic! NO!" Chapter 2 Sonic lay on the slab of the morgue, not but four hours later of his passing. He saw Sally's eyes burst into tears and her body fall upon his, clutching his arms, screaming for him to wake. He saw Rotor and the doctors rush in and pull her off and try to revive him. The screaming of medical phrases and roars of sheer terror filled his ears, his eyes watched everything as it happened . . . yet his body was unable to react from any of their efforts. At last they had given up hope, and he saw the white sheet go over his face and the crying continued with greater force. What seemed like hours with no sound or views he lay, until he felt someone pick him up and carry him to some unknown sector, he could not smell the aromas of this area but he saw from what he could of the sheets. The lights dimmed to nearly nothing but torch light, he was carried down stairs and laid on a slab, the sheet was removed and he saw Rotors face, tears in his eyes. "Oh Sonic," he whispered to the body. "If only we hadn't let you go alone . . . whatever did this to you, we will find." He mo ved his hand to Sonic's eyes and slowly shut them. That was the last thing Sonic figured he'd see, life after death was so cold, to be able to see everything around him yet not be able to move. . . now his eyes were shut, he could only hear. He wanted to sigh but he couldn't, he wanted to cry but he can 't. A hint of wind brushed his body . . . 'the morgue is underground.' he thought. 'how could wind reach the underground?' <> said a voice inside the hedgehog's mind. <> 'You're that numbat who attacked me huh?' thought Sonic. <> His eyes were forced open, the view of the numbat over him made him want to scream. <> 'Meal?' <> She lay on the dead body of Sonic. <> 'I wouldn't know, for all I know this is a natural thing. . . you only die once in your life.' The numbat laughed. She let her hands grip his neck and slowly craned his head to the side, she let her long sticky tongue rub against the wound she had made the previous night. She bit again into his neck. 'S-stop! Let me die in peace.' <> Roxane smiled and bit into her own wrist, tearing her fur and flesh, leaving a clean cut from her wrist down to her palm. <> She opened the mouth of Sonic's body and let the warm gore slide into his mouth. The hedgehog felt the strange thickness of her life-giving potion fill and warm his body. A point of ecstasy began to take over, too much indescribable pleasure filled him that at last his body reacted; his hand reached up fo r her wrist and pulled it down to his lips, he sucked on the open wound like an infant at it's mother's cleavage. His other hand roamed her body freely, often stopping in remote areas and squeezing. The vampire smiled and slowly slid her body off Sonic 's. "That's right Sonic, aren't you a good boy?" The hedgehog didn't reply and continued to suck on her wrist, but his eyes gazed around the room. His vision was foggy for a moment, then focused, he saw himself in the underground royal plot, the bodies o f Freedom Fighters who passed in the line of duty lay everywhere. The smell of rotting flesh attacked his nostrils, strong enough to block out the scent of blood from the Vampire's wrist. Sonic withdrew and backed away. "N-no! I'm suppose to be dead!! Y-You brought me back . . . b-but now I'm ....I'm.....t-this isn't normal!" he screeched. "You Monster! How did you do this?!" "A monster in your eyes at first sweety." she whispered. "You will understand the gift of darkness I have given you very soon. Once you take your first victim into your dark powers, you will realize it is a gift to be thankful for." "I'll NEVER take anyone!" Sonic's eyes stared at his arms, slowly they began to lose their healthy glow and turned a lily pale. "The monster within you will break soon, Sonic Hedgehog. Will you run to your friends asking for help? They think you're dead. . . How will you explain you are now among the undead legion?" she laughed. "I will be seeing you, Sonic Hedgehog." A dark mis t emerged from her body, encircling Roxane; within moments Sonic was alone, all but his anger and hatred to keep him company; on that which was his renewal. "I'll get you for this!" he whispered in a harsh tone, "I'll make you pay!!" The Hedgehog's roars filled the underground crypt. Chapter 3 "What do you mean Sonic's body is gone?!" Sally's eyes widened. "Who could have taken his body?!" the princess screamed at Bunny, Rotor and Antoine. "Who could do such an atrocity??" Tears began to fill her eyes, she turned away and started to cry. "Oh god Sonic I miss you so much!" she rambled. "I-I love you!" Bunny stepped up to her and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Sally, we all know what yo' goin' through, Sugah. We all miss Sonic, and we y'all cried last night. We'll cry again today, an' the next, but right now ya'll gotta strong. They're e xpecting a strong Princess out there in the funeral." "Postpone the funeral, we must find Sonic's body! We agreed to an open casket funeral for god's sake." "Sugah, if we do find Sonic's body . . .it'll be . . ." Bunny turned away, holding in the urge to break down herself. "A closed casket is best." "How many know of the kidnapping of Sonic's body?" "Only us, Chuck and Sonic's sister Sonya." "How are Sonya and Tails taking this?" "They're bad, Sally-girl. Tails is takin' it worst, Sonya went to speak to him right now. She asked me to give her apology for not being at this meeting." "She doesn't need one. . . I only hope she can help Miles. . ." * * * Tails was in his room laying in bed, slowly sobbing and remembering his best friend. His toys still in the location they were the day of Sonic's passing. His eyes were red from so many tears shed, his body was slightly dirty from collapsing many times, letting the utter weakness and pain of the loss of his hero take control. The baby kit held a picture of Sonic in his hands, slowly he turned over on his stomach and began to cry again. * * * The sleek, pink teenage hedgehog slowly walked the path of Knothole village, taking notice of every pebble her black boots scuffed against. Her grey light pants were freshly cleaned, as well as her black loose shirt. Sonya pushed back her long pink qui lls and continued to walk, holding a pendent in her hand she had wanted to give Tails, trying her best to ignore the stares and whispers. 'God how is the poor girl taking this?' 'She doesn't seem too affected...' 'She isn't foolish enough to commit suicide is she?' 'W-what if she goes to her father again?' Sonya's ears twisted back, those whispers were too loud for her. She turned to face them and glared. "Perhaps next time you want to talk about me, you should do it in my face!" she hissed. The villagers went quiet . . . All but one, a large white wolf. He stepped from the crowd. "Why don't YOU shut up traitor!" his black boots kicked dirt into Sonya's face. The Hedgehog lass said nothing in return. "You're scum like your father! You probably helped murder Sonic!" Sonya's eyes flashed red. "Take that back Eric. . ." whispered Sonya. "Your scum, just like your father. Hey, did you enjoy it when he raped you all those times?!" Sonya glared at him, then turned away and started to walk off. "Don't you turn your back on me, bitch!" Eric ran at her and grabbed her by the shoulder. Sonya grabbed his hand and threw him across the path, he hit a near by oak tree and grunted. "Don't you EVER touch me!" she hissed. Eric rose up and removed his blade from his sheath. Sonya had forgotten to take note of his weaponry, she reached for her blade of Mobius and withdrew it. The long blade's crystal tips gleamed, in what little lig ht this darkened day had. "I don't want to do this Eric, we can both walk away with nothing more than hurt feelings." "Just shut up and fight, once I kill you I'll be the next Legendary Hero." he snarled. Sonya dropped her blade and looked at him strangely. "Is THAT the reason you've been on my case since I've come to Knothole?" The wolf lunged at her; blade aimed at her head, Sonya quickly ducked under him and snagged his leg. "Have a nice trip!!" she pulled his leg. Eric lost his balance and tumbled down. "See you in fall!" Sonya giggled slightly and picked her blade up and sheathed it again. "You'll do best to remember Eric, a true hero is not violent or cruel." Sonya paused for a moment as he groaned. "You have to be brave, smart and cunning! BUT, since the gods didn't have time to check for someone like that, they gave me the job! Just cause I'm a human doesn't mean I'm like my father!" "All humans are evil. . ." "That's a lie. . ." "Show me one that isn't." "Your staring at her, you sorry excuse for a rug." Sonya turned back in the direction of Tails' hut and walked away. * * * Miles continued to weep as the door came alive with knocking. "Honey, it's me Sonya." she whispered. "Leave me alone." mumbled Miles, but Sonya knew when he meant it and when he didn't. She opened the door and stepped inside, his toys were scattered everywhere; no doubt a temper tantrum had taken place. Sonya walked to his bed and sat down, she placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "My darling," Sonya moved the pillow off his face and stared into his eyes. "I know how you feel Tails . . . I know all to well." she kissed him on the cheek. "I don't want you to cry more for my brother. He wouldn't want that and you know it." Tails moved closer and hugged her slowly, staring into space. "Everything will be okay . . ." "Y-you promise?" asked Miles, staring into her eyes. "I promise, I won't let anything happen to you my little one. This will help me keep my promise" She opened his paw and placed the Pendent in his hand; a golden color and small in size. "*sniff* W-what's this momma?" "It's a gift my baby. . . it is linked to my mind as well as the one who holds it . . .it allows you to call me whenever you need your momma. . . don't ever hesitate to call me." she hugged him tighter. Tails tucked it inside his glove. "I'll always hold it momma." Sonya felt tears in her eyes. "As I'll always be with you..." Chapter 4 A small rat scampered away from its protective borrow in search of food. Carefully it surveyed it's surroundings before making a dash for a small berry laying just a few feet away, it picked up the berry with it's claws and stood on its hind legs. Just for a few seconds did it pause. . . a fatal mistake. A claw appeared from nowhere and impaled the rat, it screeches and attempts to free itself from its tormentor. Sonic picked up the rat and pet it's head with his long, clawed finger. He pressed his fingers and pinched it's head, then twisted. The rodent screeched as it's neck was snapped and finally torn from it's body, Sonic quickly held it over his head and let it's blood pour into his mouth. His ears folded back in delight as it slid down his t hroat, filling him with a warmth. He threw the body to the side and looked around, no more rats were in sight, quietly and solemnly he let out a small cry. He was still hungry, he needed more blood. These few days of hunting for rats were driving him t o insanity . . . he needed the blood of a Mobian or perish . . . but that was not all he craved . . . a desire he needed, it stirred the blood and made parts of his body hard and erect. But who could he possibly find that he would be able to drink and ha ve his way with? That was the question that puzzled his mind . . .until he finally realized; he need not attack a FEMALE. He rose up and smiled, how he wanted to do this . . . the change in his body and soul was so dramatic. Sonic touched his dark blue quills and grinned. He raced off in the direction of Knothole. * * * Sally kissed Miles goodnight and smiled. "Goodnight honey." The fox replied with a smile and shut his eyes. Sally blew out the candles and closed the door to his hut. She walked out into Knothole and to the meeting room. The others were there, talki ng about the disappearance of Sonic's body. "Rotor," said Sally as she opened the door, "have you found anything else?" The walrus looked at her for a moment, his eyes slightly concealing. "Y-yes Sally, I found blood on the alter where Sonic had been placed." "Blood?" replied Sally. "Has it been analyzed?" "Yes, but the results make no sense. . ." Rotor looked at Uncle Chuck who stood up. "The Blood was that of a Numbat, but the cells were dead . . . it seemed ancient." Sally looked puzzled. "It was fresh blood? Still wet?" "Yes Princess Sally." Rotor sat down again and shook his head. "It makes no sense, unless perhaps this body thief is a collector ? Maybe he had another body?" "But that wouldn't explain the cells being dead for so long." whispered Sonya. "This is giving me the creeps." The others nodded in agreement. "This is getting more confusing by the moment." "T-there's another thing, Sally. . . we also found blood with Sonic's DNA. B-but something else was wrong with it. . .the cells were still alive and the blood was dirty. . . from what can be told. . . it was removed from his jugular vein." "On the neck?" the Walrus nodded. Sally looked at everyone's uneasiness. "We'll find the truth Freedom Fighters. . .This meeting is over." * * * He had sneaked away after Sally kissed him goodnight, and went to Sonic's hut, he couldn't believe that he was gone forever. . . he wanted to be there when his hero returned. Tails snuggled inside his covers and slept quietly, the rays of the moon being his own, never ending night-light. He was having a nightmare, as he usually does when he's got too much on his mind; and death was allot for a ten year old. A shadow moved over him from outside -- a shadow with prickling ends. Sonic slowly opened the window and moved inside, he looked down at Tails; grinning of his actions to come. He wrapped the fox up completely and picked him up. Sonya had walked to her hut and began to open the door when she saw the window open in Sonic's hut. . . it was always kept closed. "Maybe probably forgot; I better close it before someone tries to look the place. . ." Miles' eyes slowly opened to see Sonic grinning down at him, his fangs exposed. Tails screamed and thrashed in Sonic's hands. Sonya's eyes widened, hearing the fox's scream, she drew her blade and ran to his hut, she screamed and broke down the door, standing ready with her blade she looked into the darkness. "Miles!" she screamed. "Where are you?!" She heard a mumble and tigh tened her hold on her blade. A chuckle made her sweat; "Who's there?!" she demanded. Sonic moved out of the shadows and hissed, his eyes glowing red. "S-Sonic!" she dropped her blade. Tails' eyes were wide with fear, he was shaking madly as the hedgeho g tightened his grip on him. "H-how can you be alive brother. . .?" Sonic hissed again and slowly moved towards the door. "Sonic! Let Miles go. . ." a crowd began to develop outside, Sally pushed her way through it and finally reached the door, she let out a small gasp when Sonic came into view. Sonic turned his head to Sally and looked at her for a moment; a cruel grin crossed his face, showing off his large fangs. "I'll be back later for all of you. . ." he growled and took a step back, deep into the hut. Sonya picked up her blade and held it in defense. "Let him go Sonic." demanded Sally. "Sorry Sal, gotta feed and rape." his words shocked everyone, they stared at him and he backed away into a wall. "This vamp's gotta juice!" He pulled the fox around his stomach and went into a Sonic spin, he tore through the wall and ran into the forest . "Sonic!" screamed Sally; but it was too late, Tails and Sonic were gone from view. . . Sonic's laughter echoed through the ears of the Mobians. Chapter 5 Sonic ran through the forest; he knew where to go and what to do with Miles. The fox began to cry and Sonic's rough mishandling bruised his body. Sonic continued to run, breaking branches and making a trail, but he didn't care. The Freedom Fighters wo uldn't be able to travel this distance in the night. They would wait until morning to begin a full scale search . . . and by then it would be to late. A large group of ruins lay near a large waterfall, lake, creeks and streams. The Aquatic Ruins were a wonder he and Miles discovered long ago. Sonic walked into a quiet ruin and sat Tails down on an altar. The fox looked around slowly, the smell of million year old musk filled his nose, mixing with the smell of strange flowers and fresh running water. Tails crawled out of the blanket and stood up on the altar, "S-Sonic." he whispered. "Relax Miles. . ." he chuckled. "I wanted to thank you for the times you've saved me . . . you know . . . you're a brave Freedom Fighter." Sonic turned around and walked towards the fox. Miles crawled slightly away. "W-why are you so pale Sonic?" Sonic put his hand on Tails' leg and rubbed his knee. "W-what are you doing?" Sonic sat behind him and placed his hands on Tails' shoulders and massaged them. Tails didn't like Sonic's cold hands and shrugged away slightl y. "Sonic please . . . why have you brought me here?" He could hear Sonic chuckle slightly, chills ran down his spine when he felt Sonic's crotch press against his tails. "S-sonic . . ." "They lied to you Miles, they wanted you to think I was dead. . ." Tails slowly turned and looked at him, wide eyed. "Yes Miles, they wanted you to think that. . . jealous of our friendship." Sonic's massaging slowed as Tails once again drew closer. "Yo u ever wondered what it'd be like Tails?" whispered Sonic. "You've ever wanted to?" Sonic pressed closer to Miles. The fox shivered at the feel of Sonic's growing hardness pressed against his tail hole. "Friends help each other Tails." chuckled Sonic. "Y-yeah, F-friends help each other. . . we're buddies right Sonic?" "Of course Tailssssss" Sonic kissed his neck slowly. "We're like brothers, and you trust me don't you?" Tails took a moment to answer, then nodded. "Good boy, and trust is the basis of all friendships . . ." Before Miles knew it he was laying on his stomach, Sonic atop him, slowly beginning to mount. "You'll enjoy it Tails, trust me." Miles shook for a moment feeling Sonic's hardness make its rugge d entrance, he gripped the altar's edge and made a high pitched whine. Sonic moved his hands on the fox's neck and slowly found his pulse, concentrating on its rhythmic beat, he performed each stroke. Tails' slowly began to moan at his friend's deep th rusts, considering the fact that perhaps this was a good thing. . . what was the sin of it? Tails' cries of ecstasy became louder as Sonic sped up the sliding. Sonic's hunger grew as Miles' pulse quickened.... he lay completely on top of him and began t o suck at the fur on his neck, parting it and exposing the skin. "S-Sonic," moaned the fox as Sonic's erection began to spill. Tails cried out louder, a smile on his face, which soon faded to a shocked expression when Sonic's fangs ran across the kit's exposed skin. "W-what are you doing?" "Making you part of the eternal bliss." With that, he punctured. Tails didn't scream at the breech of his skin. . . it felt. . . nice, to say the least. A warm feeling swept his body as his life force drained away into Sonic's gullet. "More," he heard Sonic moan out, Tails was about to protest when he felt Sonic again spill into his tail hole. Miles remained silent for the rest of the drinking, his vision blurring. There was not much to view, except the patterns his blood spots made on the ground. " So nice," whispered Sonic. "So sweeeeeet. . . so innocent . . . so delicious!" Tails slowly became limp under Sonic. "Yesss, my little meat puppet. ." whispered Sonic as he sliced his own wrist open. "A slave of my command, one that will be the least expected..." Sonic removed himself from his tail hole and turned him onto his back. "Drink heavily of the wine I bring you, Tails." he opened the fox's mouth and let the thick blood pour in. The fox's vacant eyes flared to life suddenly. "Mmmm" whispered Tails, as he gripped Sonic's hand. He darted his tongue into the wound and began to lap at the blood. "Give me more. . ." pleaded the fox. "Tell me what I will receive in return for my nectar." Tails had a desperate look on his face. "Please Sonic, give me more blood." "No, unless you have something worth an exchange." "I'll give you anything Sonic please!" "Oh?" Sonic smiled the most lewd grin Tails had ever seen. "Anything! Please!" Tails moved his lips slowly to Sonic's wound, but the hedgehog pulled back and chuckled. "Okay, sit up, and kneel by the altar. . ." Tails quickly did so and looked up at him. "Take it by hand and begin to rub." "B-but. . ." Sonic held his bleeding wrist over the fox's head, small drips fell onto him, he lifted his head and let some fall into his mouth, inspiring him enough to take hold of Sonic and begin what the hedgehog craved. << I took hold of Sonic, I remember beginning to stroke and touch him, but I couldn't concentrate at this. . .thank goodness. All I felt was a pulse and strange aroma filling my nose, making me want it so badly. I shifted my leg weight and whined when I felt it become hard; I dunno what made me so . . . so hungry for it. All I could understand was the smell and the drops falling on my head, but my mouth was occupied at the moment. How I wanted to taste that blood falling . . . it was so sweet, sweete r then anything I've tasted. It kept getting harder and harder; pointing at me. I kept my eyes closed and continued, but I was so hungry for it. I needed something to drink, I didn't care about the source. All I knew was that I was willing to do what e ver Sonic wanted, for even a taste of his sweet honeyed blood again. Sonic's laughter was all that I could hear as he teased the rest of my senses with his dripping blood. My eyes pleaded with him to stop toying with me, and to let me drink my reward. I c ould almost taste his blood as he moved my reward closer. But I had already had a taste of my friend... my brother... on my lips. My innocence was gone as Sonic gave me another bit of his eternal bliss. Questions filled my mind of why the other Freedom Fighters would be jealous of me and my "brother" Sonic. My mind drifted to thoughts of Sonya, who tried to keep me from this bliss. *She* wanted to keep me from Sonic, and the new pleasures that he taught me. My mind returned to my task so that I could get more of what Sonic promised me... but I would remember what Sonya almost robbed me of. >> * * * Princess Sally returned to her hut after the long experience and opened the door, she entered and slammed it shut, venting her anger through it. Sally plopped onto the bed and began to cry, this was too much for her. First Sonic's corpse was missing, on ly to be seen again inside his hut with gleaming fangs, clutching the frightened kit. Sally could only remember the terrified look on Tails' face as Sonic tore away from Knothole. A face that she wasn't even sure she'd see alive again... Sally heard a k nock at her hut's door. She muffled her tears through a pillow and tried to say "Leave me alone" in the most gracious way that she could. "Sally," came a voice from the other side that was also wrought with tears. "It's me, Sonya. I need to talk to you. " Sally could tell that the female hedgehog was fighting her natural emotions, for she too had witnessed Tails' abduction. Sally wobbily got up from her bed, still clutching her tear soaked pillow, and opened her door. Sonya was standing out there clutch ing her dagger as though it would disappear when and if she loosened her grip. "I could've saved him." Sonya sobbed, no longer able to fight her tears. "I was there...and I froze. Sally dammit," Sonya said through tears as she walked into the hut, "I wa s right there! I could've prevented Tails from being abducted...who knows what my brother has done to him...or to him..." She paused for a moment as she went for a tissue. "You know that Tails was like a son to me...and now that he's gone..." Sonya coul dn't continue talking. The thought of Tails gone broke down any and all emotional barriers that she had in place to make her not seem weak. Sally put an arm around the pink hedgehog to try and soothe the pain that they shared. Sonya sat down for a moment , then stood back up. "I've got to go find him." she said with determination, and a tear, in her voice. Sally put a reassuring hand on Sonya's shoulder. "No." Sally said with, what she hoped to be, strength in her voice as she fought back another barrage of tears. "It's best if we wait until daybreak..." "The trail will be cold by then." Sonya countered. "And what if Tails is de..deh...dead by then?" Sally shook her head. "Tails is a resourceful kit, he will do what ever it takes to get away from Sonic, what ever it takes." Sonya looked at Sally with tired, tear-filled eyes. "I guess you're right." she said, with a yawn. "The kit is pretty resourceful." * * * Tails was on his knees on the altar in front of Sonic, gazing at the hedgehog's wound with hungry eyes. Sonic chuckled and let his kit drink his honeyed blood. Tails drank it hungrily, as though he had never eaten before. The blood from the hedgehog poured down his gullet like a raging river that would quench his thirst. "That's right my little pet . . . then we will sleep. Tomorrow night, your training begins. . ." Chapter 6 A long tiring search took most of the would be 'days' light. The low hanging clouds were strange for this time of year on Mobius. They had failed to find Tails or Sonic, just as Sonya had predicted. Sonya had laid out the equipment that she would need on her quest to find Tails. Her dagger was already in its sheath on her boot. Sally had given her express orders *not* to go, but Sonya heard every part of that decree except for the part that told her not to go. She planned to go before the moon ro se in sky. She reasoned that the moon would give away her position too easily. Sonya walked over to her pantry to get some minor provisions for her trek under the starry sky. A shadow passed by her window. <> she thought to herself as she opened a cabinet in the pantry. A second shadow stayed at her window, watching her every move. She turned her head, and the shadow disappeared. A knock was heard at her door. She knew this knock... She ran towards the door and flung it open. "Miles!" she exclaimed, hugging the kit, not noticing the red glow in his eyes. "How did you escape from Sonic?" "I will tell you once we're inside." he replied, still standing in the doorframe. "Aren'tcha going to invite me in?" Sonya thought nothing of his question, for she knew that the kit was far too polite to barge into homes uninvited. She nodded as she stepped aside for the double tailed fox-kit to enter. Sonya led the kit to her hut's den room that was attached to the pantry and offered the kit a seat. Tails sat down, and watched her every move. Sonya noticed this, but paid it no heed. "Would you like something from the pantry?" she offered the kit. "I still have those cookies that we had baked together." The kit shook his head. "No..." he said looking straight at her. Sonya finally noticed that the kit's eyes were glowing with a slight bit of redness. "I've got something else in mind for my hunger." Sonya looked uneasy. She had never known Tails to pa ss up cookies. She inched away from the kit, who started panting. He leapt onto Sonya causing her to fall to the ground. Sonya tried to wrestle her way out of the kit's grip which, for some reason, seemed stronger than usual. Tails put Sonya's hands above her head and held them there with one hand as he used the other to rip off her clothing. The shadow that Sonya had seen at the pantry window reappeared and stayed there, hungrily waiting. She gasped as she felt the kit's lips press against her l ips. He was totally on top of her, and erect. He thrust into her as his fanged mouth bit through her skin. She shrieked as she felt her life essence flow from her jugular to his pallet. But the sound dissipated when she was thrust upon by the younger kit. The pantry window opened as Tails thrust himself into the pink hedgehog once again. The shadow outside of it moved quickly inside to join the younger one in his feast. Sonya moaned as the shadow glided over to Tails, laughing at her and encouraging th e kit on. She saw that it was her own brother who had changed the once loving child she endeared and called her own...into a monster....she gazed into Tails eyes as he continued his dark magic upon her. His deep thrusts aroused her; his tongue, lapping the wound quickly like that of a serpent, made her crave more of his dark pleasure. Sonya watched in horror as she saw her brother move from where he was watching Tails, to standing beside the double tailed fox. Tails looked up at him, bearing his fang ed teeth in a wicked grin. Sonic moved behind the kit. Sonya's eyes widened greater when she felt the fox pause for a moment and close his eyes, his mouth opened slowly and let a small groan emit. Sonic wrapped his hands around the fox and grinned cruelly, forcing himself deeper. Sonya's eyes filled with t ears as she began to feel Miles spilling into her, the innocents and purity of the kit she loved and ....even as this happened still loved him. Sonic laughed wickedly as he spilled himself into Tails. He looked down at his sister, who Tails began supping on again. Tails looked up at his mentor, as though asking an unvoiced question. Sonic nodded, removing himself from his student. Sonya could no longer move, and horror filled her mind as Tails grinned wickedly at her. "So 'Momma', why did you try to keep Sonic from me?" Miles asked calmly. Sonya couldn't reply, her eyes filled with tears at what was happening. "You tried to keep Sonic from showing me pleasures I could never imagine . . . but don't worry. . .I won't be like you 'Momma' I'll show you how they feel. ." Sonya's eyes widened. "N-no, please no. . ." Sonya weakly attempted to break free of the fox's grip. "I-I don't want to be....to be... the Undead....." Tails ignored her and sat down on her chest, using his feet to hold down Sonya's arms as he ripped open his wrist, just as he had seen Sonic do. "'Momma', doncha trust your little boy?" Tails said with a smirk on his face. He held his wrist over Sonya's mouth as she slowly lost her life-force. "You've always done what's best for me, 'Momma', isn't it time for you to let your little boy do the same for you?" "...Nooo..." she said as her mouth was forced open. A drop of blood splattered on Sonya's cheek, rolling slowly to the side, as its siblings followed down. Blood spilled upon her face, decorating it like war paint from an ancient Clan. She gurgled; a ttempting to spit out Tails' blood, but her life force began to diminish and slowly she gave in. She let it flow down her throat, slowly a smile began to form on her lips. She attempted to free her hand to grasp Tails' wrist, the fox smiled cruelly and said, "So now, 'Momma' wants to drink." he laughed cruelly. He pulled his bloody wrist away from her face. "Maybe I should let 'Momma' suffer in this limbo between death and living dead." "No!" she pleaded, her stomach filling with a new hunger. She knew that Tails had only given her enough of his nectar to torture her in this state. Tails looked over at Sonic who only nodded. "Sunrise is coming, 'Momma'." "B-but you can't leave me Miles! Please!" Tears began to stream from her eyes worse. "Please, you can't....w-why are you being so cruel..." She looked down. "We'll be back later momma. . ." Tails smirked and turned back to Sonic who smiled. "Let's see you run to the Freedom Fighters or to your father Sonya. . ." "Please don't leave me brother" Sonic faded into she shadows, his laugh echoing. Tails looked down at Sonya, for a brief moment his eyes looked fearful; fearful of what he had become and what he had done. His silent cry for help. Chapter 7 Sonya looked fearfully at her windows, where Sonic had opened the blinds. She was too weak to move around, but too strong to be dead. And her hunger was overtaking her with each second's passing. She prayed that someone would find her and give her the h elp that she desired. Sonya, looked down at the floor and pressed her tongue to the blood stains, taking what she could of the sweet vermilion gore. She slowly moved to her bed, sobbing continuously. Her whimpering started to become louder as a scent began to fill her nostrils... * * * Eric was on patrol tonight, his shift was almost over and just as he planned it, no one was around; free to do what he had been planning to do for months. He removed his sword and slowly approached Sonya's hut, his blue eyes gleamed with the vision of r unning his blade into the female hedgehog's body...... He approached her door and tested it's handle, chuckling when he found it to be open. <> he thought to himself. "Oh Sonya," he called out as he shut the door, locking it behind himself. "You should really be careful about leaving y our door open...it's not really safe around here." He heard a groan coming from what only could be his enemy's bedroom. He slipped through the shadows, moving closer to Sonya's bedroom. Eric was dismayed to find blood drops already on the carpeting. < > he thought. <> Sonya slowly lay upon her bed and sighed, the smell was getting worse, much worse, she craned her head slowly to see Eric standing in the doorway, a grin on his face. "Ohhhh! Did you hurt yourself Sonya?" She groaned in response to his question. He not iced she was unarmed, and naked. His grin widened, as he moved closer and sat on her bed, slowly touching her tail. "Shame...I might miss your body...but ...that would be all...." Sonya slowly moved her head to his wrist where he had been touching her t ail. Her newly formed fangs sunk into his skin and she lapped the blood as it dripped down his hand. Eric grabbed her hair and removed her from his profusely bleeding wrist. "What's the matter, Eric?" she said with new energy. "Afraid of an unarmed person?" she was brushed against him, moving her hands around him quickly. He pushed her away, slashing at her with his dagger. It connected, and he was pleased to note that S onya stopped her pursuit of him to lap up the blood from herself. But that pause was short lived when she found herself on the ground, his knife inches away from her neck. Sonya laughed at him with wicked bliss. "I'm going to enjoy you, Eric. You've be en a thorn at my side for so long Eric, but now, I'm about to remove that thorn, and blood will flow forth....." she gave him one kiss as a good bye, before pushing his dagger away quickly and sinking her fangs into his neck; ripping open his jugular vein and sucking the blood quickly. Eric howled loudly, an echo of his cry filled Knothole. Mobians began to run to the cries, Sally in front of them all, her eyes widened as she discovered Sonya's hut was the source. . . She entered to see Sonya kneeling by Eric's bloody body. Sally saw that a nude Sonya was hunched over the wolf's body with her back to the way that she came. Sonya made sounds like she was sobbing but, as Sally walked closer, she realized that those were not tears, but laughter. The pink hedgehog turned to S ally, the area around her mouth covered in blood, and grinned wickedly. "Care to join in?" Sonya said, eyeing the princess. "How could you?!" Sally replied as more Knothole citizens entered the scene of the crime. Sonya paused as she saw the first few rays of sunlight peak through her window. Sonya felt the first rays of light strike her face, she screamed for a moment, as her quills slowly changed from their near white look to its normal yellow. She began to shake violently, feeling the inner battle of her purity that the Blade of Mobius gave her and the dark bliss of her loving 'son'. She slowly rose up, looking at the dead body of Eric. "I....I......." she looked up at Sally, her eyes filled with tears. "S-sonic.........T-tails....." she lo oked at the window. "Please don't leave me." She heard mumbling from the other Mobians..... violent words filled their lips as a few of them spoke out. "Kill The Human traitor!" "Eric was right! She's a spy for her father!" The crowd began to advance on her. "NO! Please!!'' She screamed as she began to back away. She looked at Sally, who attempted to calm the group out for her blood. "Listen to me!" But before Sally could speak Sonya had broken through a near by window and ran, she only knew of one place she could get sanctuary....hopefully....... She headed for her father. Chapter 8 "Sir." said a nasally voice as he looked at a CPU screen. "There is an intruder in AlphaSector 3." "Well?! What are you waiting for, Snively?!" roared the one referred to as 'Sir'. "Send a squadron of SWAT bots out to get that Freedom Fighter, you dolt!" Snively nodded and said a quick "Yes Dr. Robotnik" before leaving the main room. Robotnik on the other hand ordered his viewscreen to show the invader. His eyes narrowed as he saw that it was that pink hedgehog daughter of his. "So...the prodigal daughter is running home to daddy. We'll just see how she likes the reception of SWAT bots that are waiting for her..." He then started to laugh manically. * * * Sonya's running slowed as she saw the master control building come into sight, she sobbed, and sniffed; turning back to see if anyone had followed her....but no one would be stupid enough to enter Robotropolis. She paid no heed to her shivering as the w ind touched her naked body. As she was about to reach the door something fell upon her. She screamed when she realized around a dozen swatbots had captured her in a net. Her new found claws extracted, she was about to cut through to safety when she rea lized they were taking her inside; exactly where she wanted to go....she knew 'daddy' wouldn't change his daughter into a robot.....at least.....not without a fatherly talk. When they had reached the main control room Sonya was thrown in, still inside the net, her father's chair swung around and he looked down at her...a cruel smile on his face. Robotnik slowly got up and walked over to where his daughter was placed. He en circled her, chuckling to himself as she glared up at him. Her chin was cupped in his robotic hand as Robotnik looked at her. He saw blood caked around her mouth and some on her chest. He lifted her up to get a fuller assessment. Sonya had to fight her new instincts which told her to sup on his blood. But that didn't stop her from bearing her fangs as she lusted over the smell of blood seeping from her father. Robotnik laughed as his hands roamed her body, causing her to slightly shiver; or so he thought. Her eyes never left his; until he chuckled at her shivering, his flabby chins moved enough to expose his neck. She could hear the pulse of his heart (yeah, yeah even Flabbio's got a heart). It took him a moment to realize what she was staring a t, her eyes almost penetrating the skin and meat to see the inner river of pure ecstasy. He could feel his daughter slip out of his grip, slowing moving her way towards his throat. He let go of her, which caused her to drop to the cold, hard floor of the computer room. Sonya kept her eyes locked on her father, licking her lips ready to take blood from her father. Robotnik stared at her with curiosity, his eyes locked with hers. She slowly tried to stand, and move her hands on his body, using him to both lift herself and hold him in place. She began to kiss his body as she moved upwards to his neck. Robotnik, his eyes on his daughters, her touch felt strange...wonderful. even though he knew deep down it was deadly... but he paid no heed. Sonya began t o kiss the top of her father's thigh, grazing her fangs along his clothing. Her taloned nails slowly dug into her father's skin, releasing the precious blood from beneath. She pulled out her taloned hands, looking at her father with her glowing red eyes as she licked the blood from them. Robotnik pulled away, from fear of what his daughter had become. He had enjoyed what she was doing, but drawing his blood . . . "What are you doing?!" he demanded. She just chuckled quietly and moved closer again, touching him slowly, while lapping at the blood. Her touch was soft, rarely feeling the small annoyance on his thigh, her hands rested between his legs and slowly care ssed him there, while taking her fill of her own family's blood. Robotnik pressed his hand on her head and slowly ran his paw through her quills without the slightest prickle or pain. He slowly let out a low dark moan. "Sir?!" a confused, nasally voice asked entering the room. "Butt out Snively!" Sonya hissed at her human cousin. "Cant you see we're busy?!" Snively looked at her in fear. He knew that look in her eyes from the vampire stories he would read in his spare time. His cousin was now a vampire turning his uncle i nto one and he could be next, unless he got rid of the vampire . . . Robotnik looked up at Snively with a blank expression. Sonya continued her dark magic on him, licking continuously, slowly making him fall to his knees... "That's right father," She whi spered, moving her tongue upward, "Relax and let your daughter take you . . . into pleasure you've never felt before . . . You can trust me . . . daddy. . ." She chuckled softly as she kissed his face. Robotnik replied with a moan of complete pleasure. She had her father completely under her dark spell. Snively had left the room when Robotnik fell to his knees. He ran back into the room with a bottle of water which he tossed at his master and uncle...breaking the spell that his daughter had put upon him. Sonya looked at her pencil-nosed cousin with a dark cast in her eyes. "You ruined my meal!" She bared her fangs at her cousin who was decked out in typical storybook vampire hunter's gear. Snively held out a stake and slowly advanced on her. Sonya hissed and backed away slowly, nearly stumbling into her father, who looked at them, his eyes grew red with anger. "Why did you stop her?!" he hissed at Snively. Snively didn't answer, too sho cked that, even though he saved his worthless life, Robotnik still treated him like trash. He glared at Robotnik and finally found his voice. "Sir she was going to change you into a vampire!!" Robotnik looked at her, who smiled innocently and moved closer again, touching him. Robotnik had never wanted the touch of another creature so badly. Then he noticed that his daughter's once delicate ha nds were now taloned, and from that innocent smile of hers, fangs protruded. His want for sexual pleasure from his kin diminished, but he wanted it so bad that he could taste it. He pushed his daughter away but behind him, so that his sister's spawn wo uldn't kill his spawn. Sonya grinned slightly and moved her hand around his back slowly. Knowing well enough he would eventually fall, her desire for his body and blood rose as he protected her from her cousin. Snively held the stake in his hand still a ttempting to get a clear shot. "Sir please! She'll destroy you!" "No, I wont father, I wont, I'll give you what you crave and more......." She touched his fleshy hand and licked it. "I can give you what you want father . . ." She nuzzled him softly. Robotnik looked at his daughter and sighed. "Snively, put that thing away." he thundered at his nephew/lackey. With his robotic hand, he grabbed his daughter and held her at bay. He turned to her and said. "You can never give me what I want most, daughter." Snively gave his uncle a skeptical look as he slowly put the stake back into it's sheath. He removed a cross necklace (a family heirloom given to him by his mother) from his pack, placing it around his cousin's neck. Sonya screamed in agony and fell limp to the ground, but the magic tha t kept her strong slowly began to rise, she opened her eyes and looked at them. With a weak whisper she cried. "Help me. . ." was all she could muster, looking directly at her father. She coughed up a small amount of blood. "S-son.....ic...." She closed her eyes and feel into a light sleep, her neck burning slowly. Robotnik looked at Snively with a slightly confused look. "You know about this.. what is happening?!" Snively looked at him for a moment. "I've read the vampire myths of this world and of Earth's." He knelt beside his cousin, examining her. He took a sample of the blood that she coughed up and entered it into the computer. "What is it?" Robotnik said with curiosity. "Strange." replied Snively, secretly enjoying the fact that his uncle was looking to him for answers. "The blood is from not only you, but a wolf, and that double tailed fox brat..." Sonya stirred for a moment. "I mean Tails." He knew that his cousin wa s overly sensitive about that kit and knew that she would kill him if he spoke ill of him in her presence. "She drank the blood of The Fox?!" Robotnik said, shocked at this. "The one she's nearly died for so many times?" "I believe so, sir...." He looked at Sonya who slept silently, bloody tears falling from her eyes. "However sir, she is not acting completely like a vampire is said to act, she seems to be stalling, attempting to fight the evil within her. No doubt her Blade of Mobius Magic is in conflict with the strange darkness..." he looked up at his uncle who only shrugged in response. "S-sonic...T-tails..." Sonya cried in her sleep. "N-noo!!" "She's only dreaming, sir...possibly of what happened to her before she temporarily gave into the dark-side of her vampiric form." guessed Snively. "But to really know, I need to do more research..." "Research we don't have time for!" Robotnik said slamming his fist onto his robotic hand. "She's still my daughter, even if she does fight for those," he spit the next words out in disgust. "Freedom Fighters." "Stop it....Sonic....Tails....." She sobbed. They looked at her, as the bleeding tears filled her eyes, Robotnik for once had a deep look of sorrow for his child. "Is there any way to cure a vampire?!" Robotnik snarled at Snively. "Please....don't ...not anymore....please...." she sobbed in her sleep. Snively looked at Robotnik, his eyes widened. To see Robotnik actually, almost unnoticeable mind you, crying tears for his child. Snively looked away at this shocking sight. "Uh..." Snively said while looking away. "Umm." "Well?" Robotnik roared. "Is there?" "A stake through her heart...burning her at...no wait that's demons...silver bullets, no that's for were-beings..." Robotnik grabbed his nephew's shirt and lifted him off the ground. "Is there a cure where my daughter would live through it?!" he demanded. "You...have to...find and kill...the Vampire Queen." Snively gasped. Robotnik looked at him strangely. "Let me guess, we have no idea who that is, correct?!" he growled. "I don't know Sir," Robotnik dropped him, and looked at Sonya, she began to shiver from the cold and lack of blood in her system. "In the mean time Snively, how do we keep her alive? Without torturing her!" "She must feed sir...But .......who?" Robotnik continued to look at her...before he sighed. "How much of her is still under control?" "I do not know sir....but she is above normal control for a vampire..." "Then let her feed on......." "Me...sir." Snively offered. Robotnik raised a brow at his nephew. "I was thinking more along the lines of myself." Robotnik replied. "Blood..." came the pitiful beg from Sonya. "..not...direct...contact..." Sonya opened her eyes and attempted to look at them. "fa.....t..her..." she whimpered. Robotnik's concern grew. "Sir let me feed her." Snively said boldly. "No, if your killed there's no way I can get her back to normal... If I .............you can save her......" he moved over to Sonya and knelt. He stared at her eyes, and slowly attempted a smile, a reassuring smile. "Father......." Robotnik touched her forehead and said in his most quiet and soothing voice he could muster: "Daddy's here, honey." he moved her head into his lap to comfort her more. "Father..." she begged. "...no...di...rect..con...tact..." Robotnik looked over to Snively who shrugged. "Fangs...no...dir...ect...con........" Sonya fell into unconscious oblivion once again. "Daddy will save you, my daughter." Robotnik said gently to her, soothing her quills. "Daddy won't let anything happen to you." Chapter 9 "So who's this delectable little morsel?" a female voice asked as Sonic reached the temple. Sonic looked at Tails who still remained by his Side, his eyes returned to the numbat and glared, hissing. "Now, now Sonic, you shouldn't be like that to your m aster..." Tails looked at Sonic with a shocked expression. Sonic felt like lunging at her, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. "He's ....my friend." He growled. "Yes," She grinned cruelly. "Welcome to the darkness sonic......once you took him into your dark embrace." "Brother?" Questioned Tails. Sonic looked down at him. "Who is she?" Sonic looked away. "She's......" "Tell him Sonic..." she cackled. "She's our master, Tails." Sonic said defeatedly. Tails looked at the numbat in fear. "She isn't gonna take me away from you, is she?" Tails said worriedly as he clutched Sonic. The numbat scooped the kit's chin into her hand. She laughed wildly. "Let's see how this morsel tastes." she said, pushing the kit onto the altar. "No." Sonic hissed. "He's mine!" Tails looked between the two, unsure of his fate. "I take what I want, hedgehog. Nobody tells me what to do!" The numbat replied, as she thrust Sonic back into the shadows. Sonic stared at the fox's eyes for a long moment as the numbat began to sup on his blood violently. Tails screamed with pleading eyes to Sonic. Sonic felt a rush of what he use to be fill him. The eyes of his loved brother made something inside him come alive again. "Stop!" he screamed as he grasped her hand. "Leave....my brother alone!!" he pushed her away and touched Tails. The fox looked up at Sonic and whimpered 'Son-ic.' before fainting into the realm of dreams. The numbat turned to the hedgehog and growled. "That was your first mistake, hedgehog." Sudden streams of energy wrapped around her hand as she forced Sonic to his knees. He reached up to her and pleaded "Deliverance!" She only laughed as she pushed him down into the dirt. "So, you wish my forgiveness?" She laid atop of the hedgehog. "Your soul belongs to me now, as does the double tail's." She bit into his neck and drank the nectar of the one she had supped on days ago. Sonic became erect, and the numbat noticed this a s she drank him. "So," she chuckled "now I see why you don't fight me hedgehog..." She continued to sup his blood, not allowing his groin to press to hers. Sonic became frustrated at this, but remained calm. His mind wandered on Sally as she continued her drinking. He remembered what he had done to Tails....he felt ashamed at his actions... "What have I done....." he whispered to himself. "Sonya..." The numbat looked at him. "Who is this 'Sonya' that you feel sorry for?" demanded the numbat. "I can and will get the answers out of you, whether you are willing to share them with me or not." Tails had woken up, and rubbed his neck where the numbat had drunk from him. "She's my first blood," Tails said with an evil gleam in his eye, "and she tried to prevent me from experiencing this bliss, my master." "Tails...no..." Sonic said as the numbat finished drinking him. "Very good, Miles." the numbat said. "Now, let me show you what *real* bliss is." The numbat grinned as she moved the 10yr old to the altar. He gazed into her eyes, spellbound, and willing to let his master do whatever she desired with him. Sonic coul d only look on helplessly as she began to touch him, bringing him slowly to erection. "Now my little one..." She said laying upon him and his hardness. "Tell me of Sonya..." Tails slowly began to speak of her as Sonic rose from the shadows, his ears fol ded back. "What have I done...."he whispered again and looked away. "Where is Sonya..." he whimpered. "My sister......" Tails felt himself spill inside her, the numbat grinned and pressed her fangs to his neck. "Aww...Is the traitor hungry?" She teased him with her blood soaked talons as she got off the double tailed fox. Tails reached for her, and she shook her head at him. Her fingers dangled in front of Sonic's eyes. "You are hungry, aren't you?" Sonic no dded weakly. "Stop fighting your instincts Sonic." she purred. "You belong to me, hedgehog, I am what you live for." Sonic nodded as drips of blood fell upon his brow. "I am yours," he said submitting to her will, "My Queen." Yet inside his heart, he wanted nothing more but to murder the leechonious Howler woman. He looked at Miles for a moment and sighed. "My little pet Sonic...taste my blood...." The hedgehog slowly advanced on her, shakily he reached out. The numbat pulled away and chuckled, "when you've given me Sonya...." "W....what?" Sonic looked at her with eyes of daggers. "Why do you want Sonya?" he asked. The numbat laughed. "She's one of us, Sonic, your twin should be with her people." The Numbat then got a sly look on her face. "Besides, I am hoping that she is as delicious as you are." Sonic was about to make another argument, but his hunger took over his instincts. "She will be yours, my mistress Roxane." * * * Sally paced in Sonya's hut contemplating the past events; Sonic, Tails, now Sonya...she wanted to scream as her loved ones slowly slipped away. She sat down upon her bed and looked at the blood soaked floor. "What is going on...?" she whispered to hers elf. She looked across the room to see Sonya's stealth blade of Mobius Magic. "Where can she be.....?" She slowly began to cry at the stress. "what is happening....?" "P--princess?" interrupted Rotor from the door. "But I've analyzed the blood..." "And?" "It's Tails'." Rotor replied as he walked over to the princess. "Noo!!" Sally said as she pounded the walrus's chest. "How could she? He was her...her..." "There's more." Rotor said stroking the princess's hair, trying to calm her. "Tails' blood contained some components of Sonic's." Sally looked up at him with a look of denial on her face. "Then are the rumors true? Can it possibly that they are.....are....." "I don't know Princess...." Sally began to cry softly. "Oh Sonic......"She sobbed "Sonic...." Chapter 10 Sonya had wakened from her restless sleep and was greeted to the sight of her father, his wrist slightly bleeding. He was holding something, from what she could tell it was a cup. Robotnik walked back to her, she was now in an almost curled up position on his chair. She opened her mouth to speak but all she could muster was a small whine. Robotnik handed the cup to her, and she drank it hungrily. "You understood." she croaked. The blood hadn't taken its full effect yet. Robotnik nodded. "Yes, Snively realized that you were trying to say that you didn't need to get blood directly from either of us, we..." "Thank you, daddy..." Snively walked in carrying some spare clothes for his nude cousin and plopped them on her lap. "Thank you, Snively for saving me." Snively looked at his cousin and replied, "We didn't save you, yet, cousin you are still an undead." Sonya looked at her claws and sighed, depressed. She looked at them and slightly smiled. "Why did you choose to save me? After all I've done...?" She quickly placed the clothing on herself and sighed. Snively looked at Robotnik as if to ask the same exact question to his master. Robotnik looked at them both and whispered, "You are my daughter. No matter what form you've taken or side you joined..." Robotnik managed to smile slightly and take the cup from her. "I will still care for you, and that brother of yours." "How did you become this way?" Snively asked Sonya. Sonya's eyes lit up with the horror that she had felt earlier when Tails mounted her. She shivered wondering what would happen if they went looking for her. "T...tails......he.....he changed me....into this.....creature....he raped me....and ..." She l ooked down and started to cry. "W..why did Sonic do this.....why did he change my Little one........" she sobbed out, burying her face in her arms, she slowly retracted her claws and continued to cry. Robotnik and Snively exchanged raised eyebrows. Finally one of them said, "Tails raped you?!" as the other said, "That little fox turned you into this?!" Sonya looked at them with fiery-red eyes. "Sonic stole my little one's innocence. He proved it in my hut as he thrust into Tails as Tails thrust into me..." "Sounds like a bloody orgy." mumbled Snively under his breath. "Sonic supped on Tails as my little one supped on me...Then he only gave me enough blood to be in a limbo." "How did you make it here?" asked her father. "I confronted a wolf that's been trying to kill me for the past........since I went to Knothole he's been after me.....his timing was perfect, if not for him I'd probably be dead..." she sighed. "But Sally....saw it...my laughing.. the blood......people began to threaten ......they were going to kill me.....I could only flee to you....daddy.......I ... I'm sorry for what I've done.........I just......" Sonya began to stutter. "You were mad with blood-lust, Sonya." Robotnik said, placing his robotic arm on his daughter's shoulder. Sonya looked up at him with pleading eyes. "End my torment now." she whispered, pleading to her father. "I beg of you, end my torment now." Robotnik looked at his kin then to Snively, "I cannot Sonya," he said calmly, "however, we are going to try and reverse what has happened to you..." Sonya began to cry again. "Father," she sobbed. "What about Tails? W...what will you do to Tails when and if we capture him? You....you can't kill my little one...please....you just cant....." "For you, I will spare him." Robotnik said, his heart melting as his daughter cried. "Besides, he is not our target..." "He's not?" Sonya said looking up at her father, amazed at the mercy he promised for her little one. "Then who?...Not Sonic!" Robotnik shook his head. "No, your brother's death isn't needed for your cure. The death of the Vampire Queen is what will cure you, your little one, and your brother." * * * Sonic reached the outskirts of Knothole village and rested in a tree. His hunger was growing by the second, and he needed to feast soon. Sonic didn't want to find Sonya, he didn't want her to suffer again.....but the hunger commanded him... the Master commanded him. He Saw Princess Sally slowly stumble to her hut, Rotor helping her. "Princess, everything will be okay..." reassured Rotor. "I...I just don't know what to do Rotor... This...this plan is madness...." "We have nothing to lose by doing this..." "Except more Mobian lives..." she whispered. Rotor didn't reply. "I'll be okay Rotor....Thank you..." She opened her door and Sonic watched as the walrus passed under the tree where he was perched. Without guilt, Sonic swooped down and landed on top of Rotor, digging his taloned nails into the hide of the walrus. Rotor shouted in pain as his attacker dug his claws further into his back. "Sorry Rote," Sonic said. "But it's the hunger, you know." He then chuckled as he drank from Rotor's neck. "We all understand, Sugah hog!" screamed a voice from behind the Hedgehog, he turned in time to see Bunny holding a Cross in her hand, pointing it at Sonic. The hedgehog hissed and fell off the walrus, Sally came running out of her hut, amazed that the plan indeed worked. "Hold him at bay Bunny!" screamed Sally as she ran back into her hut and took a small glass container from her desk. Sonic continued to hiss and back away as Bunny advanced on him with her cross. Sally ran up to him and smashed the bottle into his head , causing the water inside to spill on him. He shrieked in pain and collapsed unconscious. "Told ya it would work Sally girl!" winked Bunny. She then turned to Rotor. "Are y'all ok, Rotor?" she asked him. "Nuh-nothing a tourniquet won't fix." the walrus replied light headedly. "Buh-but did I have to be the buh-bait?" "We tried to get Antoine to, Rotor, but he ran away to fast..." said Sally fixing his wound. "Bring Sonic into the infirmary and tie him down with Holy water soaked ropes.. that should keep him from escaping" She sighed "I want a full watch on him.." "No problem Sally girl..." Bunny picked up Sonic and dragged him into a hut. "Princess....what will we do with Sonic?" asked Rotor "Figure out what in gods name is going on....." * * * Sonic awoke, screaming bloody murder. "Let me go!" he shouted to anyone who was in earshot. "Sally-girl." a female voice said. The scent of her blood drove Sonic crazy. "He's awake." "On my way, bunny." Sally's bodiless voice replied. "Good...more to sup on." Sonic said as the taste of Rotor's blood slowly faded from his pallet. Bunny paid him no heed. She knew that she was safe as long as he was in those holy water bonds. Sally came marching in, looking torn between the happiness of knowing that her Sonic wasn't dead dead, the frustration of not knowing how to cure him and her other loved ones, and of the anger of him trying to sup on Rotor, whose infirmary room she had ju st come from. "Well, well now....look at the Meal on Heels" chuckled Sonic as Sally came into view. She glared at him. "Sonic, what has happened to you." The hedgehog struggled a little. The bonds sizzled a tad bit and he stopped. "I .........I ....Can't help it." he whispered for a second..... "Please .........I need blood...." Bunny looked at Sally for a long time "Ya'll know I know about dis kind o' stuff Sally girl. We southern Mobians were always deep in the super natural.." "I know Bunny, so what do we do?" "He a'll needs to drink some blood, Sally....but we can't let him get us with his little ol' fangs.. he could kill.....maybe we can give it to him in a cup or somethang. But someone has to donate..." "I will Bunny....." "Ya'll sure Sally Girl?" "Yes, in the mean time try and remember a way to cure this...." "Where's Sonya?!" demanded Sonic, interrupting Sally, still crazed from the blood-lust. "Gone." replied Sally as she took out an IV unit and needle, handing them over to Bunny so that her blood could be taken. * * * "So, my yummy little morsel," Roxane laughed as she gripped the double tailed fox in pleasure. "Ready for more?" Tails looked up to her. His master was expecting an answer. He backed off of her slightly. "I want Sonic." he pleaded. "You will have to make due with your master, double wag. Now then, do I have to start?" Tails nodded as the numbat laughed evilly. "Very well then." Her lips caressed the young fox's fur as her hand held his groin. Tails moaned in pleasure, totally for getting about his 'brother'. * * * "Are you sure you want to join us in this Sonya?" asked her father. "Yes, I need to find my little one...but first I need my Blade of Mobius Magic..." "Where did you last leave it?" "In Knothole......." she sighed. "I'll have to go alone on this one father....." "I don't want you to go back there alone, Sonya..." "They'll be after me father but, I can handle them....the blood you gave me has calmed the beast within....I only need to find my blade and get out...." "What if they capture you cousin?" asked Snively. "The hell with them, then. I was acting on survival instincts alone and..." "I meant Sonic and Tails." "Oh...then...then...I don't know." she said exasperated. "I'll think of something. Listen, the sun'll be up in an hour, and I don't want to see if I turn to dust this time." She pushed past her father and cousin on her way to the door. Snively caught h er and handed her a canteen. "I don't need..." "It's blood...incase you get another craving." said Snively. "Thanks for all your help, father and my cousin." Sonya then turned and left the main computer room, on her way to Knothole...the place where all her troubles had started. "Sir," said Snively. "I placed the tracker on the canteen. We'll be able to find her if something goes wrong..." "Good," whispered Robotnik. "I don't want those wretched Freedom Fighters harming her." He looked out the Window at the grey sky. "Prepare MechaSonic, have him follow her, at a distance" Chapter 11 Sonic howled in insanity as the smell of blood became too overwhelming. The extraction of Sally's gore had been completed and Sally held the cup of blood to Sonic's lips to quench his hunger. Sally looked at Bunny who sat by Sally's side making sure that Sonic wouldn't stray from the container. "So do we still have that blood you stole from her?" Sally asked the robo-rabbit. "I didn't steal from her." Bunny replied looking slightly offended. "I borrowed it." "It wasn't returned to her in the first place...Just answer my question, do we still have that blood?" Bunny nodded. "It's in refrigeration. We didn't use that much of it when..." "Nevermind that, just have...who's not on the sick or scared stiff list?" "You an' me Sally girl. I'll take over feeding our bloodsucker so you can get it. "Sally nodded and left off to get that one packet of blood that might be able to make Sonic sane for more than five minutes at a time. Sonic coughed for a few moments then looked at Bunny. "Blood Sucker huh?" he whispered. "Its not my fault this is happening to me..." "Ah know Sugah Hog..." she pressed the container back onto Sonic's lips. He drank it slowly and calmed. "Who did this to ya Sugah Hog?" he didn't reply to her. "Ah wish you'd tell us...maybe we could help ya." * * * Sonya reached the outer edge of Knothole in a matter of minutes, with her speed by her side she knew she would have plenty of time to get her blade from her hut and exit. As she sneaked inside her hut she went to where she kept her blade....only to find it gone. "Damn..." she whispered and slowly made her way out into Knothole in the shadows. A figure slowly followed her.. its eyes glowing red in the darkness. Sonya turned, feeling a presence behind her, but saw nothing. "Damn...where the hell is my blade?" she wondered aloud. She paused, knowing that was a dangerous thing to do, since she was a wanted fugitive in Knothole, and thought of who could've taken it . One person came to mind. "Sally." Sonya whispered with sudden insight, speeding to the squirrel's hut. She tried opening the door, and found it to be unlocked. Sonya took a step but found herself repelled by some kind of force shielding. "Wha the hell?" she muttered as she tried entering the hut again. Then she realized why she couldn't go in. "Shit. I have to be invited in. Dammit all to..." she heard a twig snap behind her... She turned around quickly to see MechaSonic looking back at her, he smiled slightly at her. She smiled back. "Let me guess, daddy right? my Metallic Guardian angel...." "That's-me-Sonya." Mecha smiled again. "Do-you-need-some-help?" "Yeah...My blade is in there... I need to get it." "Is-Princess-Sally-inside?" "No...I don't know where she is..." "I will retrieve it for you.." with that he teleported inside. "Thank you Mecha....." * * * "Now Sonic, who did this to you?" Sally asked him, as the wildness of his hunger left his eyes. "And where's Tails?" Sonic panted for a moment. He glanced out the window, looking in horror as the fire of dawn started to break through the black carpet o f night. "Can't tell you...she'll destroy me..." Sonic whispered. "Close the shades! Close the shades!" "*SHE*" Sally said angrily. "Just who is *she*???" <> a voice rang in his mind. "NO!" Sonic shouted. "No one else!" Sally turned to him. She knew that he wasn't talking to her, but whom? "Sonic, who are you talking to?" she demanded. <> "I won't!" <<*Tell her now, Sonic*>> "Won't let you get anymore of my friends!" He strained in bed. * * * Sonya glanced over to the infirmary, her ears pirked. Mecha appeared holding her blade. "Here-Sonya-now-shall-we-be-off?" "Not just yet MS," She placed her sheath on her person and withdrew her blade. "I hear my brother...." she ran over to the hut, Mecha following close behind. * * * "I will never let you take Sally! No one else!!!" he roared to his unseen tormentor. Sonic began to struggle more. Sonya peeked through the window and gazed in at the Freedom Fighters. "Ohmigod..." she whispered. MechaSonic looked at Sonya. "Want-me-to-go-and-get-him?" "No..." replied Sonya. "I can go in myself, since there's already a vamp in there...I think." As calmly as she could, Sonya walked over to the door and opened it. She reached out her arm and found that she could walk in. "Your-canteen." Mecha said. "Won't need it." Sonya said as she closed the door. "You stay here in stealth mode...I won't be long. "She shut the door not hearing what Mecha said next. "Famous-last-words..." * * * Sonya walked into the infirmary, what few saw her could barely breath, let alone scream. She passed by Rotor who gazed at her terrified. "Calm down Rotor....I'm not going to hurt you...." "S-stay away..." Sonya sighed. "Fine," she continued her way to the room and stopped at the door way, Sonic's eyes fell open to look at her. "Sonya...." he whispered. The others turned and gasped, stepping back. "What did you do to my little one....." she hissed angrily. "You hurt my little one...made him into a monster.....and he did this to me...........WHY?!" she screamed. "Why did you do it brother?!?!" Sally looked startled as she saw Sonya at the doorway testing to see if she would be able to enter the room. When she found that she could, Sonya entered, heading straight towards Sonic. "Tell me!" she demanded as she pounded on her brother's chest wit h bloody tears streaming from her eyes. "Tell me why you took my little one's innocence!" The smell of blood, not of her own or Sonic's or Sally's, wafted through her nostrils. The hunger of blood started to drive her mad. She groped around for her blood-filled canteen, which she remembered she had left with Mecha outside. The hunger for b lood roared through her body. Sonic, still calm from the "special" blood knew what his younger twin was going through, and knew that unless she got blood in the next couple of seconds, Sonya would sup on one of them. "Sally, give her the blood." Sonic pleaded. "She's gone blood crazy!" Sally frantically looked around for the rest of the blood that she had gotten from the refrigeration unit. "*Mecha*!" Sonya wailed. The Metallic Hedgebot heard her screams. "Sonya!" he howled coming out of stealth. He backed away and rammed head-on through the hut's window. Mecha saw Sonya and quickly tossed her the canteen filled with blood, she snagged it and tore the top off, she swallowed the blood quickly, letting it soothe her screaming senses. The others watched on as Sonya drank her fill of blood, and watched Mecha's eyes fill with worry. "Are-you-okay?" Sonya gasped deeply and nodded. Mecha turned to Sonic and glared at him. "It's-all-your-fault!" the mechanic al hedgehog snarled at him. "Robotnik-knows-the..." Mecha was cut off by Sally, who demanded to know why he was there. "Really-princess..." Mecha said. "You-wound-me. I'm-here-to-keep-the-vamp-here-in-check." "Are you telling me..." Sally attempted to remain calm. "That your Creator has you protecting her?! And how would he know of this?!" She turned to Sonya who only looked away. "I went to my father... and I'm glad I did! He didn't try and kill me like my so called 'Friend' did!" she growled back. "I came for my blade and that's all I came for, since obviously I'm not trusted in this dump." "Sonya...." whispered Sonic. "I'm sorry..." "Sorry?!" she hissed "Sorry will not give my little one back his innocence! And at least our cousin was well read in vampire myths." "Are you saying that ol' Snidley knows the cure?" Sonic said, sneering at her. "*Snively*" Sonya said, correcting her brother. "Well does he?" asked Sally. Sonya nodded with a wicked grin on her face. "The only cure is a juicy stake through our blackened hearts." She headed towards the door with Mecha in tow. "I'll be taking some liberty of that blood of yours..." everyone gasped. "...from the frozen fridge unit, seeing as it kept big brother sane in this ocean of blood." "You can't take that blood!" Yelled Sally "There are wounded people here and Sonic needs some as well." "So you think I would leave my dear brother without blood to suffer in a limbo of sanity and insanity?" her cruel grin answered her own question. She chuckled darkly. "Have fun brother..." She turned away and made for the fridge unit. "Sally...." whispered Sonic; "I don't know how long this blood will keep me sane..." Bunny turned to Sally and whispered. "Ah only got enough of *her* blood to fill up 3 pints before y'all had come back inta the room..." Sally looked at her in horror. "Are you saying that we only have this one bag." Sally lifted the bag. It was halfway filled with the vital blood that was needed so that they could keep Sonic sane. "Is this all we have left?!" Bunny nodded. "Well you had told me *not* to take any of hers in the first place...but Sonya's getting away!" "Bunny do you think you can stop her?" "Sure 'nuff Sally girl...." Bunny removed her cross and advanced onto Sonya. Sonya turned to her and smiled. "Go away Bunny.. I don't want to hurt you...." "I don't think you will...." She held the cross to her. Sonya just laughed and walked over to it. "My , my...a cross...but you are forgetting...with my blade.. I can be practically immune" She touched it and slowly crossed herself. "Take her Mecha." "But...but how?" Bunny stammered. "And lookie here." Sonya said pulling out the necklace Snively put on her to keep her at bay. "Why, it's a cross." She looked over at Mecha who looked hesitant. "Well what are you waiting for, take her!" Mecha shook his head. "He-only-told-me-to-protect-you-not-attack-on-your-command." Mecha replied to Bunny's relief. Bunny advanced on Sonya, robotic arm outstretched.. "Um ...protect me right?" The metallic Hedgehog nodded. "She means to do me bodily harm Mecha..." Mecha looked at her. "Okay-I-can't-live-with-that..." he stepped in front of Bunny. "not-so-fast-Ms. Rabbot." he stood, extracting his claws to full length. "Ya'll better get out o' my way Tin can..." Mecha's eyes flashed red for a moment. "I-think-you-should-leave-Sonya." the female Hedgehog put down the bag of blood she was holding and shook her head. "No...I won't leave you Mecha..." she unsheathed her blade... "We're doing this together." Mecha grabbed the bag of blood from the ground and Sonya, teleporting the both of them out of there. "What the hell did you do that for?!" Sonya demanded as they rematerialized outside of the infirmary. "I was about to..." "Make-a-kill." Mecha finished for her. She looked at him with wide eyes, realizing the brunt of what she would've done to the Robo-rabbit. "As-much-as-I-would've-liked-killing-some-Mobians... We've-got-bigger-fish-to-fry!" he smiled. "Let's-get-back-to-Robotropolis." Sonya nodded and grinned. "Do you think daddy has a plan?" "We-can-only-hope...." The two teleported back to Robotropolis. Chapter 12 When They arrived at Robotropolis Sonya immediately ran into her fathers arms and hugged him. "Thank you father...I wouldn't have been able to retrieve my sword if not for you sending Mecha with me....." Robotnik noticed the bag of blood that Sonya was now cradling in her arms. The name on the label was familiar, and he was curious of where she had gotten it. "Sonya, where did you get that blood?" He wasn't about to say who the donor was of that blood. "From the Freedom Fighters." she laughed evilly. "Now Sonic won't be able to stay out of that limbo between death and living death." Snively also noticed the label on the bag. "Sir isn't that..." "Not now Snively!" Robotnik said to his nephew. "'That' what?" Sonya asked in curiosity. "None of your concern, now then, you need to find the vampire queen." * * * Tails had tired from the continuous spilling, he was sore and hungry...but she wouldn't let him stop. He made a high pitch whine as the numbat gripped him again. "Master...please...stop..."he begged. "I'm so tired....and hungry...." She laughed coldly a nd continued to lick him. "You will stop when I tell you to stop! my little one..." Tails ears pirked at those words... 'little one' he remembered the locket Sonya had given him when she visited him about Sonic's death. He let it slip from his glove and held it. <> h e thought...<> * * * Sonya's ears pirked as she turned in the direction of the forest....she stared out the window for the longest time. She opened her mouth to speak but no works came from it. Robotnik and Snively looked at each other. "Sonya....what's wrong?" her father asked. "My...my little one......is calling for me..." "You can't go." Robotnik said. "You need your rest, and dawn is here." Sonya nodded. "But my little one..." "*My* little one is whom I'm concerned about right now." He turned to Snively. "Get that coffin you had put me in a while back because of *her*." "But...But..." Sonya said as Snively left the room to retrieve the coffin, knowing that it was a typical vampire cliché." "Mecha, make sure she doesn't leave until it is night and she is fully rested." "Yes-Master." the robot said, holding onto Sonya until he saw Snively return with the jumbo sized coffin. The robot placed the female hedgehog vampire in there and shut the lid, locking it. "You sure it's the right thing to do keeping her away from her 'little one'?" asked Snively, watching Mecha stand vigil by the coffin. "She's *my* little one. And I'm only doing what's best for her." Robotnik replied. * * * "Sally-girl," Bunny said worriedly. "We're out of her blood." Sally looked at the robo-rabbit in horror. "And," she continued. "We aren't able to donate anymore ourselves..." Sonic looked at them slowly and made a loud whining noise. "Then kill me before I become insane with blood lust again...." "We can't kill you......you know we cant." "Please Sally... please... I don't want to harm anyone anymore..." "Sonic.. how do we cure you...?" "I.... I don't know.........only She knows...." "But......Where is she?!" "I....I.............. I can't tell you...She will come for you!" Sonic said with pleading eyes. "and this hell shouldn't be put on anymore." "I was visiting Rotor when someone said that blood was needed." a scared voice said from the doorway. "I offer my help, pulling myself out of the 'Scared Stiff' list." Heads turned to the doorway as the figure stepped into the room and headed straight to wards Sonic. "So the rumors are true, he is a vampire." Sonic bared his fangs at her. "None of that, I know you can sniff my blood." "I didn't know you were still in Knothole." Sally said. "Just take my blood before I change my mind..." "Blade...how much are you willing to donate?" Bunny asked. The shadowed figure sighed. "As much as he needs...." The figure held out it's arm, Sally began to search for a vein. She inserted the needle at last. "We can't thank you enough Wing." whispered Sally. "Its nothing Princess....." the figure began, the fear in its voice slowly fading. "Will he be okay? have you found a cure yet?" "He can't tell us ..........something is wrong with him..." "I sense a great amount of fear from him. What he refused to tell me..." The figure closed her eyes and gasped in horror. "No...it can't be..." "What?" Sally asked in concern as the figure's eyes flew open. "I, like Sonic, cannot tell you..." "Dammit Blade no time to be..." "Sally, to mention that thing's name is a deathwish... Now...maybe my link has an idea of a cure..." the figure shuddered. * * * Robotnik felt the area of his mind that normally stayed dormant probe his mind, looking for knowledge of how to get rid of vampires. <> he said to the one probing his mind. <> <> the presence replied. Robotnik remained silent. Robotnik sat down and looked at the coffin and sighed. His mind began throb at his link mates rapid searching, finally it found what it needed and the link was diminished. * The figure opened it's eyes again. "I know how to cure Sonic....we must kill her....." "The one you can't speak off?" asked Sally. "Yes..." "But where is she?" "......that....he did not know....all he knows is it's in the forest...." "Care to tell us Sonic?" "......she'll kill you if you go there Sally...." replied Sonic. "Tell us!!" "Bunny, you done taking my blood?" the figure said trying to change the subject. The rabbit nodded. Sally glared at her as Sonic struggled in his bonds, going wild over the smell of the blood. Bunny poured the blood into a cup for Sonic, then fed it to him. "Tell me..." Sally said with a warning tone in her voice. "If I do, you will be..." "*Now.*" "Fine..." the figure glanced at Sonic. "Sorry, but, it's the ancient temple that Sonic and Tails discovered....that devil's spawn is there..." she took off an amulet from her neck and put it around Sally's. "Take this as extra protection, Sally." The f igure left the room before anyone could thank her for her blood or her help. "Sally-girl you think I should..." Bunny said. "No...leave her." Sally replied. "She's not needed for now...Keep an eye on Sonic...I got a vampire to cure!" * The night came and Sonya awoke, she tried to sit up and hit her head on the inside of the coffin. "OW!!!" she hissed. Robotnik and Snively looked at the coffin. "Sir I believe she is awake." "Brilliant deduction Snively...." Mecha was leaning against the coffin. "Mecha open the coffin up." "Yes-Master." he opened the coffin up and Sonya shot out of it, coughing. "That's stuffy!!" she hacked out. "The coffin thing is a lie" "Hmmm." Snively said thoughtfully. "I must write that down." "Father, thanks for the hospitality but..." Sonya said as she gathered her blade. "I must feed on you now!!!" Sonya in her blood crazed state leapt at her father, blade extended. She wasn't able to complete her attack when robotic arms restrained her. "Blood!" Sonya struggled. "Want blood!!" Robotnik retrieved the blood pint that Sonya had liberated from Knothole the previous night and poured some into a cup. He forced her mouth open with his robotic arm, pouring the red plasma down her throat. "Thanks, dad." she said. "I lost myself for a m oment there." "You can say that again." mumbled Snively. "But I have to finish my quest and destroy the vampire queen." With that, Sonya left the compound. "Be safe, my daughter." Chapter 13 The numbat laughed as Tails grew wild from the lack of consuming blood. "Does my delicious morsel want some of me?" she asked. Tails weakly nodded. "Well you can't until your 'brother' returns!" Roxane laughed as she moved around the kit's body, causing every arousal point to be set off. Tails then moaned in pleasure as the Numbat gripped his groin, pulsing her hands.... Tails cried out, partly of torment and pleasure...he wanted his brother, his aunt...he wanted Sonya the most. This torture was becomin g to much. His subconscious replayed what he had done to Sonya repeatedly. He gripped the pendent in his paw again and squeezed. <> * * * Sonya's ears pirked again. <> <> <> <> She felt the link become weak....<> "Miles!" Sonya screamed as she ran faster. She felt her little one growing weaker. With a sudden insight, Sonya knew the name of the one who had her little one. But she also knew speaking the name of the Vampire Queen would instantly target her. The t hought of her little one in danger outweighed her own needs of survival. "ROXANE VORADOR," she shouted. "You vampire bitch! Give me back my little one!" With that, a flash of light attacked Sonya, she screamed and found herself inside the Ruins. She looke d around frantically; "Tails?! where are you?!" she hissed. She heard a low cry from ahead; she unsheathed her blade. "Tails...." She followed the sounds of the whimpering pup. * * * Sally had reached the temples boundaries, she sighed quietly. "Please let me save the ones I love..." "You can....with my help..." Sally turned swiftly around holding a wooden stake. "Sonic!" she screamed, "what are you doing here?!" "I 'persuaded' Bunny into letting me go..." "You didn't." "I did...but not in that way." Sally gave Sonic a look. "I didn't hurt her." Sally sighed in relief. "Did you..." "Right here...Blade was...heh heh...happy to give more once I told her that I was coming after you." His eyes narrowed on the temple ahead. "Now, lets get that vamp!" * * * Sonya stepped into the Semi-lightened room and gazed at the beautiful indoor stream and growing ivory. Upon the alter, however, was sight she didn't find at all pleasing. Tails lay there, barely gazing at her. His neck torn open. "Momma...I'm sorry.... ." he whispered. "Tails...." she ran to him lightly pulling him up. "Oh god don't die.....don't die...." "But you see... He's already dead Sonya...." The hedgehog turned around quickly. "Who are you?!" "I'm the Vampire Bitch.. and she's come to take your soul Hedgehog...." Sonya growled at the numbat. "You...." "You are mine, Sonya. You've been mine since your 'little one' supped on you. Let me show you what you've been missing." "Sorry, but we just met!" Sonya pulled out her blade and circled the numbat. "That's where you are wrong, Sonya." the numbat smiled. "You've known me since Miles shared his ecstasy with you." "Nooo...." "Yes, now join me Sonya. Obey your queen." "I will never follow scum like you...." she continued to circle the Numbat. "One way or another it ends...." "Indeed...." the numbat chuckled. "I can crush you like a bug...Sonya...I wield Black magic...." "As do I....Your forgetting...my Little one Supped on the heroine of Mobius!" "We will see what is stronger.......The Darkness or the Light...." "Who said I was of the Light?" Sonya grinned and rose her blade. * * * "Sal I hear Fighting..." "I don't hear anything..." "Come with me quickly!" Sonic and Sally arrived at the temple's edge, finding that Sonya was already there facing off against a really pissed off looking numbat. Sonic's eyes scanned the temple, looking for Tails. He couldn't believe his eyes as he saw the kit laying across the altar, his neck torn and no blood whatsoever pooled around him. Sonic knew that even vampires would leave some blood when harmed, and was horrified seeing his brother completely drained. "Sally go back to Knothole." Sonic ordered her. Sally saw where Sonic was staring a nd gasped loudly. The numbat turned her attention from Sonya to them. "An offering, Sonic?" the numbat said, gazing at Sally. "She'll make a good meal, or two." "No," Sonic replied. The numbat's eyes narrowed on him. "Disobeying your master, eh?" There was evil laughter from the numbat. "I'll fix that!" Lightning surrounded her outstretched hand and crackled with excitement as it licked Sonic's cheek. Then thunder sounded, knocking Sonic out... "Brother!" screamed Sonya. "LIGHT!" A pulsing White light flashed from her hand, blinding the Numbat. Sonya swung her blade at her stomach, tearing it open. Sonya felt herself strain at the sight of Roxane's wound's warm blood. "Die You bitch!! I'll make you PAY for taking my Little one's Innocence!!" "Enough of this! I've grown tired of our little game!" A black mist encircled Sonya.. "CRUSH HER" Sonya began to scream, feeling her body slowly cramping up tightly. <> Sally thought as she watched her loved ones get hurt. She touched the amulet that was given to her earlier, and soothing energies flowed into her. A bluish aura surrounded Sally. <> The blue aura slowly spread around i nside the temple, engulfing Sonya, Sonic and Tails. The Hedgehog groggily began to wake, as did the double tailed one. Sonya felt the black mist vanishing and her power being renewed. Sonya stood up and smiled. "How is this possible?!" the Numbat hissed, turning just in time to see Sonya lunging again at her, taking her arm. Roxane screamed and sunk her claws into Sonya's back, tearing her open. The next few moments felt like they were running in slow motion. Sonic leapt upon the numbat, sinking his fangs and talons into her. Tails groggily got up just in time to see the one who drained him dry, shriek in agony. Sonya turned on the numbat, and grabbed her other arm, helping her brother pin the evil beast down. "Sally NOW!!!" Sonic shouted. The princess stood over the Numbat, one hand holding the mallet, the other the wooden stake. A flood of emotions hit sally... She pressed the edge of the stake down on her, feeling the rush of emotions, she glared at the Numbat. "Don't you ever......... Ever come back to Mobius again, demon...." She rose the mallet and slammed it down on the stake, sinking it into the Demons heart. She screeched loudly as her body slowly melted.... a moment of long silence occurred after, as the vampiric Freedom Fighters slowly regained their humanity. Sally l ooked at the stake and whispered "Do I make myself clear!?" "Sal, Sal, I think she got your point." Sonic said putting his arm on her shoulder. Sonya looked over at Tails, and saw that he was healed from his wound. She ran over and scooped him up in her arms, softly crying. "Don't you ever do that to me again." she whispered in his ear. "I won't momma." Tails replied, hugging Sonya back. Sally took Sonic in her arms and kissed him for the first time, in a long time. The once numbat finished turning to dust and a sudden breeze scattered her remains . . . Chapter 14 The Knothole Freedom Fighters sat in the main meeting area, listening to the tale of the battle that had been fought. Everyone was there, Rotor had been completely healed after a mysterious visitor, except for Eric, Sonya's kill. "Sally, how were you a ble to beat the vampire queen?" called a voice. "Where did that blue light come from?" called another. Sally looked and felt Sonic's hand around her shoulder tighten. "The Vampire demon was destroyed through what the Freedom Fighters are about...Team work. With the help of Sonic the Hedgehog, and Sonya Sho, we were able to over power the creature and give her .....uh..." "Heart Burn," commented Sonic. The crowd chuckled. "Exactly Sonic. Once the 'point' had been made clear she was no longer wanted...she ......uh." "Hit the Dusty Trail." finished Sonic. "And so we, as the Jury, have decided all charges on Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonya are dropped....." The crowd murmured in approval. They looked around to congratulate Sonic and Sonya on the outcome of the trial, when they all noticed that the pink hedgehog was missing. "Where's Sonya?" asked a female voice...it was of one of the ones who shouted 'kill the human traitor' after seeing the wolf Eric dead in Sonya's hut. "She had to speak to someone..." Tails replied. * * * Sally scanned the crowd to see if the one who gave her the amulet was there. She nudged Sonic. "Do you see her?" she whispered to him. "Huh?" Sonic replied. "Who?" "Blade. Did you see her?" Tails walked over to Sonic and Sally, after noticing that Sally was waving around a very familiar amulet. "Sally," Tails said. "Where'd you get that?" Sally turned to the young double tailed fox, replying "Blade gave it to me for protection." Tails looked at her with round eyes. "Uh, Sally." he said. "She couldn't have. Blade has been..." * * * Sonya had managed to sneak away from Knothole village without being followed by her comrades. She took a brisk jog to Robotropolis and entered the main building. She entered the Control room and looked at her father; his back to her as he looked into m onitors. "Daddy..." she began, he turned around and looked at her. "I'm cured...so is Sonic and my little one...I wouldn't have been able to do it without you......" "So this is goodbye?" said Robotnik quietly. "Father...I..." "I know that you won't leave those Freedom Fighter friends of yours, nor your little one." Robotnik got up and crossed to where Sonya was. "Father...you know I love you...you mean so much to me...you helped me save my little one..." Sonya paused. "If I were to stay here....what would happen to me?" "You would be one of my top generals...by my side constantly, we'd fight side by side..." "And if I don't?" Robotnik sighed. "I would treat you like your brother." he said stiffly. Sonya looked up at her father, it was her decision to make. Stay with her father and fight against her loved ones, or go back to Knothole and probably lose the love of her father. She made her decision. "Father, I am going to..." She stopped herself and thought for a moment. Sonya looked at her father for a long moment. "Father, I have an idea..." she paused, licking her lips. "let me be your spy in Knothole..." "I don't know." Robotnik said holding his chin. "How would I be able to trust you?" Sonya gave him an evil grin. "Father, really. I'm your daughter..." "Sonic's my son and look at him." "Bad example." she thought for a moment. "Listen, you had an interest in that bag of blood that I brought back..." "Yes, the name on there was familiar, nothing else." "Well Tthen, this.... this....who is it again? The name..." ".....Blade Wing." "Yeah, this Blade Wing I could probably find out more info on for you Daddy....Father please.. I don't want to leave my little one but I don't want to lose your love either..." "Hm..." Robotnik thought for a moment. "I can give you information before raids on your factories happen, I can help you stop them from trying to kill you..." Sonya sighed, "I don't want to lose you father." "Well...alright." Robotnik finally answered, he didn't need to know anymore on Blade Wing, except her present location, because of the link, but the more he knew the better. "Thank you daddy!" Sonya said happily as she hugged her father. "I'll start right away! You will *not* be disappointed!" Robotnik hugged her back tightly. "I hope not daughter..." he felt and odd feeling run across him; the feeling of love. "I had always wanted you working with me Daughter..." "I always wanted to work with you pop.. always liked you, even on Earth!" "One of these days you must begin to tell me about Earth." He smiled. "I have one question though.." "Yes Daddy?" "What will happen when I finally capture them? What will you do?" Sonya was quiet for a moment. "I will work the Roboticizer on them, myself." she replied. "Even Tails?" "Even...my little one...unless..." One of Robotnik's eyebrow's rose. "Unless what?" he asked out of curiosity. "Unless he.......Unless he joins us.....you would let him if he wanted to wouldn't you father?" Robotnik remained quiet for some time. "father?" "I would.......but only for you, my daughter..." "Then it's settled. I spy on Knothole, and also get information on this Blade Wing, and you won't roboticize my little one as long as he follows us." Robotnik nodded. "Now go...your friends will be missing you." Robotnik chuckled. "Let's not let them think you to be on my side...just yet..." Sonya nodded as an evil grin crept onto her face. She slowly walked began to walk out of the room then turned back to him. "Thank you father...." she walked out. * * * "...And the god got mad at the Mobian girl....after all, it aint to wise to claim yourself the best weaver; better then any god.....and as punishment.. he changed her into a spider, doomed forever to weave and capture what she finds on her web....." Tail s eyes widened as Sonya finished her fable. Night had fallen and she always spent time with Tails at night, reading or telling him a tale..... "Good night, little one..." Sonya said kissing the kit's forehead. "G'night, momma." Tails replied. "Don't forget that I'm going to..." he yawned. "Kitemer tomorrow, only for two days..."another yawn. "Sleep then." Sonya left the room as Tails shut his eyes. She turned his light off, and exited his hut. Once she was gone, Tails opened his eyes and sat up in bed, thinking about the tale he was told. <> "Yes." Tails replied. <> "Yeah it was." <> "I can try. And thank you for your help. We couldn't have done it without the amulet." A warm feeling entered his mind. <> "Yes, Blade. G'night." Tails fell asleep to dream about spiders and magic... * * * Sonya stood in the middle of Knothole and stared at the sky. "Clear night..." she whispered, "...finally....." she thought about her little one and smiled. "Well... mom....I know your up there," She looked at a distant cluster of stars. "wish you could see how your daughter has changed...wish I knew if it was for the better or worse..." She felt a warm sensation enter her, as if her mother was there. Then, as if by magic, the stars moved into a smile. "Thanks mom... I love you too." --== The End ==-- ]---------------][End Credits][---------------[ MetalSonic> Well you've reached the End of "When Innocence is Lost."
