A/N: This is my very first story, so don't blame me if it's a little rough!

Blood Shed

Prologue: Amy… Amy Rose

"Has she been born?" Shadow asked turning to look at the kneeling black hedgehog before him. Shadow was wearing a white vest, with a black leather jacket over the top. He was also wearing skinny black jeans and black Converse.

"Yes Lord Shadow… She has…" answered the hedgehog. Shadow smirked, before he turned to another hedgehog.

"Get me Rouge…" Shadow smirked, "Tell her she has something to do," he gave a little chuckle. The other black hedgehog nodded, before he ran off so fast that no one even saw.

A red echidna stepped forward; Shadow sighed as the echidna spoke. He was wearing light blue baggy jeans and a short sleeved, orange V-neck top.

"Why does Rouge have to do it?" He asked annoyed.

"Well, Knuckles…" Shadow began, "If they are interested in her… Then she must be important."

Knuckles rolled his eyes, before another black hedgehog jumped on him. Knuckles bared his fangs, kicking the hedgehog in the stomach. The hedgehog fell back, as a bat was suddenly crouching over him; she had long white hair, and aqua blue eyes. She was wearing a red, knee length dress with a black leather jacket, and knee length high heal boots. She looked at the black hedgehog's neck, and smirked before she bared her fangs and bite the unconscious hedgehog on the floor. There were gasps from the people (bats and hedgehogs) around them. Shadow did not move until the bat was done.

She leaned up from sucking his blood, managing to keep her face clean, before she clicked her fingers for servant hedgehogs to dispose of the lifeless body.

"Even if he was a vampire," the bat stated, "I never liked him."

Shadow turned around, looking at the bat, who scowled at him.

"What's so important?" she asked, "I was about to do some major blood sucking, at least he tasted okay." She said gesturing to the black hedgehogs taking the body away.

"Rouge," Shadow spoke, "She has been born… You know what you must do."

Rouge rolled her eyes, and in a second, she was gone.

Shadow grunted, before Knuckles stepped forward and spoke.

"Who is she?" Knuckles inquired, "This girl?"

Shadow sighed before speaking.

"She is Amy Rose… Someone with very special blood…"

Nurses were running around a dim and very white hospital, almost bumping into several desks which were spread around the area. A pink hedgehog with shoulder length, hot pink hair was lying in a hospital bed. She had many wires connected to various parts of her body. She had gone into labour over half an hour ago. Nurses were tending and fussing over her newly born child in the other room. A dark blue hedgehog wearing a white doctor's cote walked into the room; he had short blond hair and a smile on his face as he sat down in a chair next to the hospital bed.

"How are you feeling, Johann?" He asked.

The pink hedgehog smiled, before replying.

"I'm fine now that it's over," She smiled. She had been in the hospital for a day and a half. It was around two in the morning, and Johann looked very tired.

"Are the nurses still tending to my daughter?" She asked. She was desperate to see her baby before she got some sleep. The doctor just smiled.

"We will bring her in," And with that said he got up and walked out of the room. Johann lay back in her white and plan hospital bed. She sighed heavily as a light blue hedgehog with blond hair stepped into the room.

"Julie!" Johann said as the hedgehog came over to her bed. She was wearing light blue jeans and a white, long sleeved top. She smiled as she walked over with outstretched arms.

"What are you doing here?" Johann asked puzzled, but happy.

"I wouldn't miss being here for you," Julie smiled, sitting in the seat the doctor had just been sitting in.

"How is baby Jessica?"

"Oh she's fine, one month," Julie beamed, "Fredric is looking after her."

Johann smiled back, and once again lay back on her piles of comfy pillows.

"I hope our kids will be good friends," Julie said, "Jessica is only one month older."

Johann nodded, but didn't get a chance to speak because the

doctor had just come back in.

"We have your daughter, if you're ready?" He said looking at Julie.

Johann explained that Julie was a very good friend that that she would appreciate is he let her stay. The doctor just smiled before waving his hands for a nurse to come in, who was carrying a small pink blanket, and gently handed it to Johann. Julie smiled and gently stroked the baby's tuffs of pink hair as Johann held her in her arms.

"Very special blood in this baby," The doctor observed, "one in a million."

"Really?" Johann asked, looking down at the sleeping child.

The doctor nodded, "Very rare. But I'll explain more tomorrow, you need to rest!" he assured the startled Johann, who relaxed again at his words.

"May Julie and I have some time alone?" the new mother asked, giving the baby to Julie so she could hold her.

The doctor grinned, and nodded, "Five minutes," he warned, holding up five fingers, "or you will be too tired tomorrow!"

Johann nodded, and then looked up at Julie.

"She's so beautiful," Julie whispered gazing down at the baby in her arms "Just like her mother."

Johann blushed, before taking her baby back.

"What are you going to name her?" Julie wondered.

Johann instantly knew.

"Amy… Amy Rose."

The doctor once again returned to take Amy to the baby incubator room while Johann got some sleep. What they were unaware of was that a certain bat was waiting outside the hospital, watching stealthily. She scowled when a purple cat appeared by her side; she was wearing long white jeans and a long sleeved purple top, had a red jewel on her forehead and her eyes where amber. Her purple hair was tied up in a bun with a red hair tie, which matched the red line that adorned her purple ankle boots.

"Go away, Blaze!" Rouge hissed angrily.

"In your little, vampire, dreams!" Blaze retorted, glaring "We know why you want her…"

"Oh, really now? Do we?" Rouge asked putting her hands on her hips, "Go on then."

Blaze took a deep breath, "Her blood is H Deficient, which is very appealing for people like you."

"Indeed, very tasty," Rouge bared her fangs as she licked her lips, "Been doing some research now, have we?"

Rouge began circling Blaze, who just glowered in return. Rouge's aqua eyes looked Blaze up and down, then she raised her eyes brows.

"No weapons, Blazey?" she asked, as Blaze put her hands down by her side.

"I'm not here to fight," Blaze sighed, "I'm just here to make sure you don't take her."

Rouge laughed, "Oh Blaze… Blaze, Blaze, Blaze," now circling Blaze again, "You always were one for peace, weren't you?" Rouge was now holding Blaze's chin, "But I-"

She half said, doing a front flip on to the other side of Blaze, "Am not!" She was now holding a knife to the sensitive flesh of Blaze's throat.

Blaze did not move, panic, or look surprised. She merely stood there.

"What are you so happy about?" Rouge asked, disappointed that Blaze didn't struggle.

"Me!" A voice said from above. A silver hedgehog jumped off the roof that made Rouge step back, releasing Blaze, Who quickly darted forward to that she was next to the silver hedgehog. The hedgehogs quills where slit back, and he had amber eyes, like Blaze. He was wearing a plan grey t-shirt and blue jeans, along with blue and black trainers.

"Silver," Rouge grunted through gritted teeth, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, you know, just doing some sightseeing, " The hedgehog responded sarcastically.

Rouge grunted, "I'll be back… And I won't be alone next time!" She vowed, before turning around and running at her full vampire speed, known as 'flitting'.

Silver sighed and looked back at the hospital.

"Is she ok? Still in there?"

Blaze nodded and Silver relaxed, this was the start of a dramatic adventure…
