Mobian Fangs

Prologue

It was hungry. That was the creature's only thought as it sat outside the house, momentarily its mind returned and gave it the intelligence to realise that they had feed from here before and it would have to pick another target. It growled as it smelt the blood it had been forced to abandon.

Chapter 1- A Death

Shadow the hedgehog was taking a stroll through the empty streets of Station Square hoping to avoid a run in with Sonic or company. As he was walking he noticed something that sparked his interest. A crime scene, sitting in the middle of which crying was no other then the very blue faker that he was trying to avoid. Shadow was about to open his mouth to taunt the hedgehog when he noticed why the blue blur was sobbing, in his arms was the body of his stalker girlfriend, Amy Rose. Despite himself Shadow felt a sharp pang of sorrow; he had, despite her obsession with faker, been quite fond of the pink hedgehog. However he knew he could hardly go crying over her death but at least he could try to be kinder to Sonic, temporarily. He placed his hand on Sonic's shoulder in what he thought was a comforting gesture, Sonic looked up at Shadow with his red, wet eyes. Sonic sniffed before weakly greeting him.

"Hi Shadow"

"How are you doing Sonic?" even Shadow was shocked by how kindly his voice came out.

"Amy she's…she's…"

"I know" Said Shadow patting Sonics shoulder. He turned his head to get a better look at Amy. Suddenly Shadow turned and ran, ran as far as he could, as fast as he could, which was fast but he was in no mood for bragging. In the distance he heard what could only be Sonic screaming in sadness.

Shadow ran to his apartment block, it was grey, tall and totally generic. He slowed and walked up to the drab front desk paused for a second before he asked for his keys.

"Sorry but, who are you?" The silver coloured koala that worked as the receptionist at the front desk of the building questioned.

"I live with Rouge, apartment sixty nine" Okay, maybe it wasn't so much his apartment block.

"So you live with that bat" said the koala wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Very funny, now give me her keys"

"I'm sorry but it's not policy to give keys to people other then the original tenants" Quoted the marsupial straight from the company rule book. That was it; Shadow grabbed the koala by the front of his red uniform and lifted him off the ground.

"Want to hear my policy on people who annoy me?"

"No" spluttered the koala as Shadow dropped him.

"Then hand over the keys" the koala didn't hesitate this time.

Shadow trudged up the stairs towards what was honestly Rouge's apartment he unlocked the door and much to his surprise he found Rouge sitting on the couch watching television.

"I thought you were at a friend's?" Rouge looked up surprised as she hadn't heard him come in.

"I was going to go to Amy's but when I rang she didn't pick up" She didn't know, he have to tell her. He swallowed hard and readied himself to break the news. Rouge looked worriedly at him, he normally had no problem saying even the bluntest things.

"Rouge, Amy was in an accident or something and she's…"

"Is she hurt?" interrupted Rouge

"No she's…" Hundreds of lies or ways of escaping the situation ran through Shadow's mind, but Rouge deserved the truth "…dead" The jewel thief was just as horrified as Shadow thought she would be, she got up and ran from the apartment tears streaming from her eyes down her face. Shadow sat down of the couch heavily, an accident or something, that was the best he could come up with? Those marks on her neck made it all too obvious, but don't think of the worst, maybe they were staving, or lost control, so hopefully this won't happen again.

But as much as Shadow tried to deny it he knew one thing; this was the work of a vampire.
