Me and my deranged imagination! I had so many ideas for new fanfics that I wanted to try, but I wasn't finished with my other one. I had to start another fic though. My mind is driving me up the wall! This is another sonadow. (I love those two together don't you?) Well, let's begin! (btw Shadow and Sonic don't belong to me.)

Soulflight

Chapter 1: Dark Soul

A dark hedgehog with crimson stripes dragged himself to the doorstep of a manor. He was ragged and unkempt, and covered in blood. He weakly raised his fist and attempted to knock on the door. His knock was barely audible. He knew that the inhabitant of the house would hear him though.

'Why am I here?' he thought, 'I shouldn't be here. It's wrong. We were never meant to coexist. We're supposed to be mortal, actually cross that, we're supposed to be immortal enemies. It is forbidden for us to even think about well, It doesn't matter now, I'm supposed to be dead' the black hedgehog thought as he waited on the doorstep of the manor, licking the blood off himself.

The door opened, revealing a radiant cerulean hedgehog. By radiant, this hedgehog was practically glowing. He looked down on the ebony hedgehog sprawled on his doorstep. "Gosh, what happened to you? It's as if someone wants to kill you or something!" the blue hedgehog exclaimed.

'You're not far from right,' the dark hedgehog thought, internally chuckling humourlessly. He suddenly felt a strange yearning. 'So pure,' he thought unknowingly, 'I must have it. I must.' he struggled to get up.

"Oh I apologize! I should've brought you in immediately!" the cobalt hedgehog said. He reached down and gently scooped up the obsidian hedgehog. The said hedgehog winced and gave a low groan of utter pain.

'No! He's pure! I can't!' he felt the urge to struggle in the other hedgehog's arms. 'He's undefiled! It's too much!' He wanted desperately to get out of the blue hedgehog's grasp as the pain slowly turned from barely tolerable to agonizing.

The cobalt hedgehog seemed to realize that he was in pain though for what reason, he knew not. He quickly went indoors, and placed the black hedgehog on a taupe leather couch. "Wait here I'll get something to help with your injuries. The blue hedgehog disappeared. He soon reappeared holding a vial that contained a liquid.

The dark hedgehog's eyes widened in terror. 'Holy water! No! Please not that! He felt like screaming but he was too weak to. The blue hedgehog spilled some of the liquid onto his hands. Silently he bowed his head, closed his eyes, and lifted his cupped hands up.

'No! He's blessing it! No please! Anything but that!' he internally screamed as the hedgehog slowly, gently, smoothed some of the liquid onto his wounds. His wounds began to open wider than they already were, and blood began to flow again. He screamed.

"I'm so sorry! It must be too powerful! Please, let me help!" the cerulean hedgehog said as the obsidian hedgehog shrunk away. He stretched out his arm.

Even though it wasn't visible, the dark hedgehog could feel an energy flowing from the other. He lay there, too shocked to move. He watched as his wounds began to close.

When they were fully closed the blue hedgehog set his arm down again. "That was certainly...surprising. I'm Sonic? Who are you?" Sonic asked.

"I...am Shadow. I thank you for saving me." The words were stated in a way that sounded strange to Shadow. He wasn't used to talking, after using telepathy for so long. The words sounded foreign to him.

"May I ask why you shied away from me? Why you screamed when I tried to heal you with holy water is also unexplainable. Would you care to clear up my confusion a bit?" He inquired.

Shadow's pupils shrunk. He couldn't tell him! If he did then Sonic would kill him! He swiftly got to his feet. "No! I can't tell you!" He felt his lust grow stronger. 'I need to feed! I must find food! Not from him though. He saved me! I can't!' Shadow thought. He wordlessly turned around and ran towards the door. He ran outside and took flight.

Sonic pursued after Shadow. 'Why won't he tell me?' he silently asked, 'Why?' He ran towards the door,but when he got outside, there was no sign of the ebony hedgehog. Only blackness and stars. 'It's as if he simply disappeared, like he flew away,' Sonic thought sadly as he went back inside.

Meanwhile, Shadow was wandering through a forest. He needed food. Desperately. He looked around. No luck. Just then, a squirrel happened to see him. "Hi there!" she said. "Are you lost? Do you need anything?" He internally smiled at the squirrel's stupidity.

"Yes," he sibilantly stated. He leapt at the squirrel girl. She screamed in panic, and struggled to get out of his grip. He looked at her. "I need a little supplement." He bared his fangs. She screamed again. "Shhh. It'll be over soon. I promise," he hissed. He took one hand and gently brought it to her cheek. She stared at him, with obvious fright in he eyes.

He used his hand to gently draw her face close to his. He closed his eyes. His fangs sank down into her neck. She screamed yet again. He continued to draw her lifeblood out of her until her eyes grew dull, and she felt limp in his grasp. He dropped her, then licked his fangs. This would do. For now.

He stared at the sky. The stars were disappearing. It would be morning soon. He needed to get out of here. 'Where can I go?" he asked himself. 'If I go back, they'll kill me.' He heaved a small sigh as he realized that he could only turn to Sonic now. It was dangerous, but it was safer than going back.

He spread his wings and lifted aloft. 'It would be faster if I flew there' he thought.

He dropped down in front of Sonic's manor. He knocked on the door. The door again opened. "Why Shadow! Welcome! It's good to see you again!" Sonic opened the door wider to allow Shadow to enter. Shadow did so willingly.

"Hmph. Thanks for letting me in. Do you mind if I stay for a while?" Shadow asked. The words again felt strange on his tongue.

"But of course!" Sonic answered, smiling cheerfully. He was shining brighter than the moon, he was so happy. He was always happy to render someone his services.

"Thank...you..." Shadow said uncertainly. He couldn't believe he was doing this. The hedgehog was an angel for goodness sake! How could he live with an angel?

"No problem!" Sonic again replied, breaking off his chain of thought. "You would have done the same."

'I wouldn't bet on that,' Shadow thought, as Sonic led him to one of the guest rooms he opened the door to his room, and promptly fell onto his knees, clutching his head in pain. The room was so, pure. So clean. It hurt.

"Ohmygod, Shadow! Are you all right?" he faintly heard a voice. He was losing it. He whirled around to face Sonic, "Sssso pure," he hissed, "I need it!" He bared his fangs. His eyes had now lost their expressionlessness and was replaced with a look of pure insanity.

"I mussst have your blood." He threw himself at Sonic, eyes gleaming dementedly.

I'm guessing you all know what sort of sonadow this is, yes? Ok I have a feeling this is going to be a fairly long fanfic. Hopefully this is a slight improvement from my other fanfics in terms of paragraphs. Stupid essays have my brain stuck on essay paragraph mode instead of story paragraph mode. I'll see you next chapter. R&R Plz.
