It was my sixteenth birthday today; some friends and I had gone to get some ice cream after school. Now it was about six o'clock in the evening and as it was October time it was already getting dark.

To get to my house I have to walk down a very dark alley; I walked down with out hesitation, as I've walked down this alley too many times to count.

As I walked though, I felt eyes upon me; I quickly glanced behind, then I noticed a figure in the shadows. Turning quickly I walk a bit faster down the narrow alley. I hoped whoever it was hadn't seen me, and when I looked back again, the figure was following.

Then suddenly, like lightning, I was pined against the wall and the figure was in front of me! I could see now. The figure was a yellow hedgehog with golden eyes; I knew this hedgehog, he was a vampire.

Eleven years ago this vampire murdered my parents, I thought he was going kill me with them, but he just stopped and looked at me; he said 'I'll be back for you' then ran off.

I guess he stuck to his words. He looked at me with hungry eyes, his face then started to move towards my neck. I knew I was going to die, so I said nothing; it had amused him seeing my parents scream and cry for help when he killed them. I was not going to give him the satisfaction.

He was so close now; I could feel his hot breath running down the back of my neck. I shut my eyes, preparing myself for the pain. But it never came, all I heard a loud thud.

I opened my eyes to see that the vampire was now laying on the ground out cold.

I also saw green eyes shining in the darkness. I knew it was another vampire, they compete for their food, I ran. I know that I have no chance in getting away, but if I was going to die, I was going to at least try to stay alive.

I looked behind to see if the owner of the eyes had followed, I saw nothing so I stopped. Turning back in front I found myself face to chest with the other vampire. I backed up a bit hoping to make a sprint, but I stopped, looking at the vampire now. I saw this vampire was a tall blue hedgehog, with the most gorgeous eyes I'd ever seen.

Snapping out of my trance; I ran again. Soon I found myself at a dead end; I did a one hundred and eighty degree turn, finding that the hedgehog was walking straight towards me.
