A/N: Hi! This fic will contain some very dark and mature themes so be warned.
Amy glanced up at the white moon, twirling her hair as the glow reflected onto the window. She and the rest of the survivors had taken barricade inside the main high school of the town. Everyone was frantically running around with various objects and tools in their hands to help form a barrier so no one could enter at all. They were all frightened by what lurked outside. Creatures of the night. Blood pouring down their lips like wine. Monsters that Amy used to call her friends...
Vampires...
This epidemic had happened last week where an unknown individual had somehow been turned into a vampire. In not so long, nearly the whole town had been infected with vampirism. The world was so fearful of this event that they ordered the military to block all exits to the town by a military formation with one simple order: 'Shoot on sight'. There was no escape from Sunset Town, so ironically named as the darkness surrounded the outside like a cold veil. Screams and voices were audible outside the building but no one was interested at all. They were too caught up on making sure that their fortress was enough to defend themselves from the enemies outside. The innocent victims outside were nothing but distractions. Chairs and tables were stacked up together at each locatable door to the outside world. Amy grabbed a small chair and placed it at the backdoor entrance along with five lunch tables. She was worried even with this blocking the door. Vampires were super fast and had strength beyond her wildest imagination. She didn't have any time to ponder the effectiveness however as a voice practically screamed at the survivors telling them to all gather together in the main hall. Amy recognised the layout of the building as she had been working here as a teaching assistant for home economics. A job she quite enjoyed. Running quickly, Amy made it to the hall to see all of the other humans crowding around a certain black hedgehog who had seemingly taken the role as leader. She knew who he was. Shadow. Her boyfriend. After what Sonic had done to her, she confided in Shadow and his cold, distant nature seemed to disappear when he was around her. He made her feel important. Like she was everything to him. They had been going out for a year. Amy stepped closer to the crowd and stared at Shadow, smiling in relief as he was still alive. Shadow caught her eye and returned a smile while jumping down from the platform to hug her.
"Thank God you're alive! I thought they must have gotten you. I was terrified." Amy confessed, tears slowly forming from her eyes. Without Shadow, Amy wouldn't have been able to deal with the situation that was currently going on and she might have become broken from the horrors she had witnessed. Shadow hugged her tightly.
"Amy... I love you so much. I knew you'd make it! Shadow told her, his serious tone cracking slightly from joy. "Sorry Amy but I'm going to have to lead this... They'd be lost without me." Amy nodded in understanding and Shadow kissed her on the lips briefly then returned to the platform he was standing on before. Amy could see him right there, his appearance of a commander of some sort of resistance. "Silence! All of you!" he screamed and his harsh, bitter words echoed throughout the hall in a fearsome tone that made everyone jump in fright. After their shock, the survivors remained still and fixated on Shadow, most of them twitching and fidgeting while doing so. It was crystal clear what was going on to Amy. They were afraid to turn their backs to the barricades where the vampires were lurking behind of. One blink and a vampire could have travelled from one side of the school to the other. Cold air blew past Amy, making her shiver. Shadow gazed at the crowd and continued...
"No one is to leave the school! Not even I stand a chance out there with all those vampires on the loose. We all stay here. Unless I state otherwise. The school looks well protected and Fang has brought weapons along with him (Fang, who was at the side of him on the stage, tipped his hat downwards as he raised a collection of magnums, pistols and revolvers to show to the crowd which made everyone gasp and smile as they saw them) and there is plenty of food in the cafeteria so we should be safe in here as of now. We will need guards as well. Day and Night watch and stuff like that. If you want to do that, come talk to me after this. If not, then set up sleeping arrangements and the like since there's loads of you here and more importantly don't waste my time. If you have children, take them to the computer lab. You can stay with them or be useful and help with securing this building." Shadow ordered which made everyone rush around in all directions, the majority aiming at Shadow. Noise of footsteps filled the room and Amy stood still during it, afraid she'll bump into someone if she dared move her feet. It allowed her to see people in which she had no opportunity to have seen before with all the panic and disruption. She looked around to the right to see Vanilla, Cream and Cheese heading towards the computer lab, Cream's face having a distinct look of confusion as if she had no idea what was going on. Following them was Charmy and Vector but no sight of the third ace detective at all which made Amy fear the worst had happened to the ninja. Surprisingly, it seemed Eggman had also made it to the school as he was running in the same direction that Vanilla was, clutching Orbot and Cubot at his side. She could not recognise anyone else except Misty the Mouse who did a polite wave as she ran past her. Amy knew her from the school as Misty was one of the best students in home economics and they had formed a friendship over the years. Rain pattered down on the rooftop but it was so loud and deafening that she couldn't hear Shadow calling her out from a short distance away. Shadow rolled his eyes and ran up to her, his left hand offered to her.
"Come on Amy. I need you." Shadow said which caused Amy to blush furiously and she took his hand. He took her to an empty classroom as Fang handled the rest of the guard applicants and he sat her down on one of the tables, his eyes glooming at her beautiful green eyes. Amy didn't let go of his hand at all, her other hand stroking the side of the dark hedgehog's face. She smiled at him genuinely, feeling safe and secure in his warm grasp. The thoughts of danger slipped her mind as Shadow leaned closer towards her, the both connected by love and trust. Amy closed her eyes slowly as Shadow bent down, his lips against her cheek and he brushed it lightly.
"If you want me to stop then just say so." Shadow spoke seductively but Amy said nothing, willingly eager for Shadow to continue. With a short smirk, he kissed her full on the mouth. Hearts beating quickly, they nudged their noses together and Amy opened her mouth slightly to allow his tongue to enter it and he gladly complied. Moaning softly, Amy tilted her head to the side as Shadow explored her mouth with his tongue, pressing against her gently and kissing her harder. They were all alone. They could do anything together...
Outside of the back of the school featured a silent forest dawning in pitch black darkness. Unaware to the Mobians, vampires lurked here waiting for any potential victims to run into or from the school. Their red eyes were the only thing visible thing to Mobians as they lacked the stronger senses that the vampires had gained. Most of the town was transformed into the undead and they shared certain traits. Except from the obvious visual clues such as their eyes, paler skin and sharp fangs, they also were incredibly lustful. They had extreme sexual desires that seemingly never went away and they wanted to chase down the Mobians they had loved before to do unsettling and awful things to them. Sometimes they were kind enough to only leave their victims with a damaged soul and maybe a few scars after they had made 'love' to them passionately and forcefully but others were ripped apart and destroyed with no trace left of them. Of course it was incredibly rare that a vampire would do this to them as they claimed to have loved the one they have captured but it was possible. Vampires were very seductive towards one another and the survivors, masking their true intentions. All they want is that one long bite that will turn their victim just like themselves: a phantom of darkness. The vampires all searched alone, only rarely forming groups to catch their innocent prey. A blue hedgehog caught the sight of the hidden vampires in the trees. casually strolling as if he was unaware that the apocalypse was upon him. Smiling joyfully, his skin wasn't pale but his eyes were dark red. The cold breeze made his fur stand still, shivering and vibrating as he walked through the forest. This wasn't a Mobian anymore. It was the most powerful vampire of them all: Sonic. He had set himself as the self proclaimed leader of the vampires and none argued with him as his tremendous speed and agility were unmatched by all but Shadow, the leader of the resistance. Coming to the realisation of who this mysterious hedgehog was, the vampires unveiled themselves from the tree tops and jumped to the ground quickly as if they teleported there. Sonic smirked as he saw them. He recognised some of his old friends in the crowd including Knuckles whose red dreadlocks were dripping in blood, Blaze who had a massive scars on her chest and her purple gown dyed with dirt and cuts and Rouge whose usual demeanour replaced with a harsh snarl as if her seductive personality had been completely erased from existence although her clothes definitely did not show this truthfully. Knuckles was holding someone at his legs, tears forming down her eyes and her dress ripped completely.
"Look what we found trying to get into the back door of the school. She was too late since the door was blocked off!" Knuckles said grievously, laughing at the poor girl. Sonic glanced at her, recognising the old style of fashion and massive amounts of antique jewellery. It was Tikal.
"Please don't hurt me." Tikal begged, her eyes looking to the ground in despair.
"That depends. Are you going to play nice?" Rouge spoke softly, stroking her cheek slowly as tears fell upon it. Several vampires laughed as she cowered from them, her hands covering her face in fear. Sonic stepped closer to the cowering girl, motioning another vampire, a orange wasp Mobian, to come forward. The wasp smiled evilly at her and Tikal fidgeted and wriggled to escape Knuckles' grasp but it was too strong for her and it caused a large bruise on her shoulder.
"You're pretty cool Tikal." the wasp said, a fake smile plastered on his face. She didn't respond. "I think you'd be pretty good as a vampire. My vampire." The crowd cheered as he said this, only causing Tikal to form more tears from her dark blue eyes. Sonic beckoned to Knuckles to release her with his fingers and he threw her to the ground violently. Mud covering her dress, she cried out in pain as she felt the force of the impact. The wasp climbed on top of her, pinning down her legs with his knees and grasping her hands to the ground. She was unable to move. He began to kiss her forcefully, feeling down her dress and almost tearing it off while doing so. His perverted hands began to feel around her breasts, stroking it slowly as he licked her abdomen. The dress came down slowly with some of the other vampires helping to tear it off, leaving her completely exposed. She could barely see as the rain splattered her eyes as this horrific ordeal was taking place, her visibility fading. The wasp was laying on her and his hands exploring her pussy, clenching it tightly. Cry's from the crowd pierced her ears like a knife, moaning painfully as the wasp moved his hands towards her neck. Death scrolled in her mind as the wasp opened his mouth to reveal giant fangs, snickering as he twisted her head to the side to reveal her pure neck. The vampires howled as he leant down towards her neck preparing for a bite. Tikal couldn't even speak, her suffering prevented her from even fighting back. It was the end for her. The fangs impacted on her delicate skin, ripping it apart like tissue causing massive amounts of blood to spill from her neck and onto the ground. The wasp sucked the blood slowly as this happened with other vampires on their knees around the poor echidna, dipping their fingers into the blood and drinking it straight after. Tikal presented no emotion any more. She was dead. Sonic ruffled his hair and turned to Blaze who was not watching the feasting take place but staring at the school curiously.
"Silver's in there right now. Probably getting stolen from me or something." she said angrily and Sonic nodded at her.
"Amy's in there to. I want her back." Sonic told her, rubbing his forehead with the palm of his hand. "They'll have to come out eventually. For food. For something. One slip-up and we can all get in there."
"But why don't we just go in there now and break all the barricades right now?" Blaze asked, looking at Sonic suspiciously. The hedgehog grinned at her.
"It's boring that way. I want to tease them, make them suffer. They'll be starving themselves to death and they will have to take drastic measures. They'll start sending scavengers out and the like. A straight up massacre of them all isn't fun. It's lame. Picking them off one by one. Much more exciting." Sonic said cheerfully and Blaze nodded.
"I guess that makes sense. Silver's mine though. Make sure no one else gets to him." she demanded of him and Sonic showed her a thumbs-up.
"Sure thing Blaze. Now I'd better check around this school. See what weaknesses it has. See if anyone is left alive outside of it. You coming?" he asked. Blaze sighed.
"I have nothing else to do so I guess I will have to." she responded but before following Sonic, she turned her head around to see Tikal one last time before her transformation. None of the other vampires seemed to care she was dead as they were either leaving or violating her just as the wasp. The wasp would stay by her side until the inevitable turn to the vampire. Blaze looked at her motionless dead body, the last of Tikal's tears slowly making their way to the muddy ground.
Blaze felt sympathy for her. Something she shouldn't have felt at all.
A/N: Poor Tikal. :(
