Vampire's Curse 2

Chapter 1: Knuckles' Vision
The day had just started, and Knuckles the Echidna was on Angel island, guarding the Master Emerald as usual. He sighed and stood up, looking around. For the past couple days, no one has visited him. No one has contacted him. Nothing.
When he was about to sit down, the Master Emerald started to flash rapidly like it was trying to warn the echidna about something important. Knuckles looked at it in confusion. Suddenly, the sky began to grow dark and something happened. A bright glow came from the Master Emerald, and he saw a vision of the city being overrun by vampires.
The vision then disappeared from his mind. "What the...Master Emerald, what was that? Please tell me." He implored.
Suddenly, screams could be heard from Station Square. He was about use chaos control when a pain started to spread through his body. Knuckles body was fading away, but then it stopped. He groaned in pain and looked at the Master Emerald. It was showing him a vision of the future, and what had happened in the past. The vampire, Dracula, and his minions, were also being shown.
The red echidna knew what what was happening and what the Master Emerald is trying to tell him. He had to go to the past, otherwise the future would change and himself would disappear. Knuckles sighed. He knew what he had to do in order to protect the present, and the future. It was his duty, and the Master Emerald was telling him something that could change history forever.
"I'm ready," Knuckles said. The Master Emerald flashed brighter than before. Knuckles covered his eyes as it got even brighter until everything went white.
A few minutes later, he appeared in Transylvania in the year 1893. Knuckles groaned and looked around, wondering where he was. He knew his mission but wasn't sure if he could complete it, especially after seeing how evil these vampires were. In the distance he saw a huge, dark castle. It was massive, and Knuckles could tell that was the home of the vampires. He smiled and walked further into the village, knowing what he had to do.
As he was walking he started to hear the sound of crying. Knuckles spotted a young, black hedgehog who had purple stripes on his quills. He was turned away from the echidna and was obviously sobbing with his gloved hands on his face. Knuckles walked up to the hedgehog, concerned. Then the hedgehog chuckled evilly and turned around. The echidna gasped in shock: the hedgehog's skin was pale, and his eyes were blood red. He opened his mouth to reveal long, sharp fangs, and hissed. Then the vampire child spoke.
"Hello there...you must be new to Transylvania, I can sense it. Now come with me, or I will make you."
Knuckles growled. He wasn't going to take orders from a child. "Why should I? You are obviously a vampire. Who are you?"
"My name is Vlad, son of Dracula. And don't make me tell you a second time; come with me. Now. Or you will suffer later."
Knuckles hesitated and looked up at the night sky. He smirked and shook his head. "I don't think so, Vlad. You can't make me come to the castle, and who knows what would happen if I did."
Vlad growled angrily. "How dare you answer me like that! I am the prince of all vampires! I may look young, but I am very intelligent beyond your standards!" The prince's eyes glowed with hatred.
"You think you are special? I can do as I want, Vlad. Now, I believe this conversation is over."
The vampire prince hissed, showing his long, sharp fangs. This was far from over. But he had to calm himself down so the mortal would stop picking on him, "We will meet again, traveler. You may think I am just a child, but that will change."
He laughed menacingly as the vampire child turned into a bat and flew towards the castle. Knuckles watched him leave and sighed, wondering what Vlad meant about that. He shook his head and continued on.
