Chapter 1

The Vampire Bite

Black. The sky was a pitch black with a moon that hung high in the sky. It was held above all the trees around as a young five-year-old chipmunk wandered around the Great Forest. The moon was coloured a blood red which is usually non-realistic, but the young chipmunk didn't care as she strode along the short-cut grass. The blood red moon shone down on her as the wind blew through her red hair and brown fur. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks as she stared ahead of her to see a black shadow behind a bush.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Such confidence coming from a little Princess" it said.

"H…how do you know I'm a Princess?" she asked as fear started to crawl its way into her voice.

"I know a lot of things, my dear Princess Sally" it answered.

Sally gasped and took a few steps away from the shadowed figure.

"Are you a stalker?" Sally asked the stranger.

"No" it shook its head at Sallys' question.

"What do you want from me?" Sally asked, as her fear became visible as she started to shake in fear.

"What do I want?" it repeated her question.

The shadowed figure stepped out of the shadows and Sally stared at what was in front of her. A man with a long black cloak going down to the ground, followed by black pants, shirt and black leather boots. As well as a hoodie covering most of his face up. Sally looked at the mans' face and only saw one red glowing eye and a pair of long sharp fangs hanging over his bottom lip.

"I want your blood, Princess" he said.

Sally gulped and took a few more steps away from him. The man started running at Sally with his arms outstretched and Sally saw that his fingernails had started to grow very long and sharp as he progressed. The man bared his fangs as he lunged at Sally. She brought her arms up to her face to try and protect herself, but nothing came. She heard a screech to the mans' boots and a rather threatening hiss. Sally uncovered her face to look at why the man stopped and saw her saviour. In front of her stood a five-year-old blue hedgehog with his arms and legs spread apart showing his protective side.

"Perfect timing, Sonic" the man, said.

Sally turned her gaze to the man and saw that he was smiling.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" Sonic asked.

"That's my business and mine alone" the man said. "Now, move aside so I can have my dinner."

Sonic turned his head to look at Sally as her eyes and his eyes met. Charcoal black meeting sapphire blue as they stared at each other. Sonic turned his attention back to the man and shook his head.

"Why would this Princess be any type of food?" Sonic asked.

"If you won't move, then you'll have to be my dinner instead!" the man yelled as he ran at Sonic.

"I'm not moving" Sonic said.

"Fine by me" the man, exclaimed, grabbing Sonic in a hold.

Sally ran over to Sonic, but Sonic raised his hand.

"Run!" Sonic cried.

"But, I want to help you" Sally said.

"You can help me by going back to Mobotropolis!" Sonic exclaimed.

Sally looked at the way to Mobotropolis and ran that way, but instead of going back to Mobotropolis she hid behind a tree and watched the scene before her. The man sniffed the air and Sonic could feel tears on the edge of his eyes. The man lowered his mouth to the hedgehogs' neck and licked his lips. Sonic gulped as he saw the mans' fangs get closer to his skin. Sonics' legs were dangling at the hold he was held in, but he made no intention of making them move.

"Your blood will last me for days" the man told Sonic.

"How?" Sonic choked out.

Sonic wasn't even trying to get out of the mans' grip as the man answered Sonics' question.

"Your no ordinary hedgehog" the man said.

Sonics' eyes widened as he said that, because once he said that the man dug his fangs into Sonics' neck and drank his blood. Sonic screamed in pain as the fangs pierced Sonics' neck and the venom from the mans' fangs flowed into Sonics' bloodstream. Sonic was starting to get weak from the amount of blood he was losing and venom that was taking its hold on his blood vessels. Sally watched in fear as she watched her friend get drained from his blood as the man continued drinking. Sally had covered her mouth and was watching as worry started to infiltrate its way into her brain for her friend. Sonics' eyes were closed as he tried to ignore the pain, but it was too much for his five-year-old body to withstand. His eyes suddenly fluttered open a little bit as a thought hit his mind.

I'm no ordinary hedgehog, he thought.

Sally watched in wonder as Sonics' dangling little legs started to spin around. The man stopped sucking Sonics' blood and stared at the young hedgehog.

I'm Sonic The Hedgehog, the fastest thing alive, he thought.

Sonics' legs revved up and he grabbed a hold of the mans' arms and swung himself around the mans' grasp. Weakening his grip on the hedgehog, the man let go of Sonic as he spun around and kicked him in the back. The man landed face first into the ground as Sonic landed on his feet on the ground. Sonic gave a small smile to show his victory, but soon fell onto his knees from blood loss. The man raised his head and laughed as he looked at the fallen hedgehog. Sonic looked at the man as he rose to his feet and dusted himself off.

"Your not as strong as you usually are because I've drained you of half of your blood," the man said.

Sonics' eyes widened in fear as he stared up at the man.

"B…but I can still kick your butt with what little blood I have left" Sonic said as he rose to his feet and readied his fists.

"Very well, let the little Princess start digging your grave" the man said as he lunged at Sonic.

Sonic dodged his attack and spin-dashed into the mans' back with exhilarating speed. The man screamed in pain as Sonic hit a nerve and the man broke into dust. Sonic stopped his spin-dash and looked at the dust pile in shock.

"That was weird," Sonic said.

"Sonic!" Sally exclaimed.

Sonic turned his head and saw Sally running up to him and she looked scared and concerned. Sonic smiled at her, but soon regretted it as he clutched his neck where he had gotten bitten. Sonic cringed at the pain, but tried his best not to cry. At least not in front of Sally.

"Sonic, are you alright?" Sally asked.

"Yeah" Sonic answered.

"He bit you, but Rosy can fix that" Sally said.

Sonic nodded and continued staring at the dust pile, but soon turned his attention to the moon.

"Lets go home" Sonic said.

Sally nodded and followed Sonics' gaze as she too stared at the blood red moon.

"There is one thing I don't understand about tonight," Sonic said.

"What's that?" Sally asked, looking at Sonic as he dug his fingers into his bite mark to stop the bleeding.

"Why is the moon…red?"
