CHAPTER 1

DARK BLOOD

It was a dark and calm night while Vanilla was in Cream's room reading her the last page of Cream's bedtime story.

Cream was safely tucked in the blankets of her soft bed with Cheese by her side. She giggled with excitement as Vanilla read the end of the book to her.

"After the two rabbits went their different ways, they just knew that they would see each other again someday. To laugh, play, and have fun just as they did. The end." She closed the book and turned to her child. "Did you enjoy the happy bunny story?"

The small child nodded, "Oh yes! Very much! Thank you for reading it to me and Cheese, mom."

She gave her a wide and warm smile, "You're welcome, sweetheart." She placed the book on a nearby table and leaned forward to her daughter giving her a light kiss on the forehead. "Time for you to get plenty of rest now."

Cream made a small nod, "Okay, mom."

Vanilla got up from the chair she was sitting in and pushed it under a table. She walked at the doorway of the room and looked back at Cream. "I love you."

"I love you too." Cream had then watched her mother walk out of her room, closing the door behind her.

Afterwards Cream turned to her chao friend, Cheese. "Did you like the story as much as I did, Cheese?" She whispered softly.

The chao nodded with happiness, "Chao! Chao!"

She placed her finger to Cheese's mouth, "Quiet Cheese, or else you'll make mom. She's trying to sleep too."

Suddenly the two had heard glass shattering outside of the room.

The rabbit and chao jumped with fright and panic.

Cream nervously looked over to the closed door, "Wha-what was that noise? It sounded like something got broken." She was startled even more when she heard her mother scream from her room. She started trembling all over, "Mo-mom?" She called. She turned to Cheese, "Come on Cheese, we have to find mom." She and Cheese nervously got out of the small bed and walked over to the door, slowly turning the knob and opening it.

When they left the room, they started to walk down the dark hallway slowly until they came into a dark room.

Cream slowly peeked her head into the room and could barely see anything because it was so dark. As she looked around she noticed a some of the furniture had gotten knocked over and her mother's bed was a complete mess. She gasped when she heard something getting beaten on along with her mother's screams. She nervously walked into the room with Cheese behind her. She walked to the other side of the bed and saw a dark stranger on top of her mother using an alarm clock to hit her on her head. Her eyes widened with terror as she called her mother's name. "Mom!" She shouted as she tried to back away from the attacker.

Hearing the child's scream caught the killer's attention and made him face the scared rabbit walking into a small corner of the room.

Cream fell to the floor with her back against the wall as she watched the killer get off of her mother's body. She noticed Vanilla not moving or breathing so she assumed she was dead. Tears fell from her face as she stared at her mother. She then looked back at the killer slowly walking towards her. When he stepped into the moonlight coming through the bedroom window, she saw his face. Her mouth hung open at the sight and cried even harder. "No", she said in a hoarse tone. "Why? Why are you doing this?"

The killer took out a huge butcher knife from his vest and raised it at the small rabbit.

She screamed, "Sha..." Then the point of the knife had met her head.

The rabbit sat there with her eyes open and full of shock. As soon as she saw her blood dripping from her head, she collapsed to the floor laying there in her own pool of blood.

The chao panicked and tried to get away but the killer had grabbed it and started to strangle it down on the floor. As Cheese struggled to get free, the killer gripped around its neck tighter until the chao didn't have the energy to move anymore.

The killer got up from the floor, walked over to Cream's corpse, and took his knife out of her skull. He had then left the room full of the victims he had killed.

The next day, a blue hedgehog was knocking on a door at an apartment. He kept knocking until an annoyed voice shouted from the inside.

"I'll be right there damn it!"

The hedgehog leaned against the door and crossed his arms, "What is up with him answering the door so slow?" Suddenly he had fell back and collapsed to the floor. He sat there for a moment on the floor and looked up at a red echidna smirking down at him. "You need something, Sonic?"

The hedgehog quickly got off the floor, "Sure when I start complaining about your slowness, you try to be all quick about it behind my back."

"Well sorry for being so incredibly slow. I was just calling Rouge telling her to come down to the Chaotix right away. I was just helping Vector spread the word."

Sonic crossed his arms and smirked, "So you know you have to come down to the Chaotix too huh?"

He nodded, "Sure do."

"Well what are we waiting for? Lets go!" Before Sonic could run anywhere, he was held back by his blue jacket.

"Hold on for a sec. I gotta grab my cell."

Sonic sat there on the floor with his arms crossed, "Once again. You are too damn slow!"

When Sonic and Knuckles were walking to the Chaotix, they saw a black hedgehog checking the mail in his mailbox.

Sonic ran up to the black hedgehog and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Shad man! What's up?"

The hedgehog turned to him with confusion, "Uh...I'm checking my mail."

Sonic took his hand away from Shadow knowing that he didn't like too much physical contact. "Checking your mail huh? Shouldn't you be heading to the Chaotix? Vector claimed it was some huge emergency so he wanted all of us to show up."

"An emergency huh?"

"Yup! Hey, you wanna walk with me and Knuckles? We're on our way there."

"Sure, I'll walk with you guys."

"Awesome!" He started to lead the way with Knuckles following him. "Come on, faker! Lets get this show on the road!"

The ebony hedgehog sighed and started to follow them.
