Chapter One
It was wrong. I knew it was; but when I had the chance, I didn't stop them. I let them go on, knowing there was danger lurking in the darkness of the neighborhood. They've never been here before, and I just left them to venture out on their own. A small voice in my head kept nagging at me, reminding me of all the bad things they've done to me while a big part of me was overcome with the urge to run after them blindly and bring them to safety. The only thing stopping me was the growing feeling of dread of what was waiting for me in the village. I'm not talking about zombies or vampires either, I'm not five years old. I'm talking about THEM. They have many names, but their most common name is Nightwalkers.
Nightwalkers are no laughing matter. They are like elementals, but only stronger and faster. They are shape shifters as well, but their common form is that of a disfigured man with pale white eyes, a dark sunken face, and so skinny you can see their entire skeleton through their clothes. They wonder aimlessly through the night, preying on weak animals and people and devouring their soul. They can teleport, so running is futile. They can run almost as fast as my beloved Sonic, so running only gets you killed faster. Their only weakness is light, and I know what your thinking. Carry around a flashlight with you at night and you wont be bothered. Haha wrong. They are only weak when light hits them, but rarely anybody has ever killed one because of their speed and strength.
I was never a brave person, so you can imagine how hard my heart was pounding in my chest as I slowly made my way into the chilling darkness of the village. I cupped my hands over my lips and started calling for my friends.
"Guys! This is a very dangerous place to be at night! Come back!"
I called, my voice shaking.
I heard a high pitched flirty giggle somewhere in the distance, and knew my friends were close. I knew that laugh from anywhere, it was my friend Cream.
"Guys! Please come here!"
I called.
"Amy? Is that you?"
my beloved Sonic called back.
My heart soared as I heard footsteps come my way. Relief washed over me as they became visible in the dim moonlight that was looming over the tree that seemed to surround the village. I saw Shadow, Cream, Sonic, Rouge, Knuckles, and Tails smiling at me and I rushed to embrace them. With every step I got closer to them, I noticed something wasn't right. It was their eyes. They were just all white! Not a single tint of color in them. Not a single sign of...life. I knew I was in trouble. I let out an ear-splitting scream, and they were lashing out at me in seconds. They were moving so fast it was like I was in slow motion! Fear and adrenaline pumped through me veins as I made the biggest mistake in my life. I ran for my life.
Yes, I'm aware of the extremely short chapter. My next chapters will be longer, I promise ^_^
