I don't own any of the characters. I don't own the ideas adapted from True Blood (mind reading, vampires, etc etc). Full credit goes to Sega and HBO... I however just put the two together and am gonna have fun with it!

Amy was waiting tables at the usual diner near her house in the woods. It was so loud, she could hardly keep up with her tasks... A pint of beer to table 16, a steak to table 12, three margaritas to table 3...

"AMY!" Yelled her boss, Knuckles. "What are you doin'?! Do you want to keep your job? You need to focus, girl! Damn!" Knuckles watched angrily as Amy had a blank expression and continued to carry the beverages out.

Of course, Knuckles could never fire that sweet, pink angel that he had the deepest feelings for. He could never just let her go... Oh how he wanted her...

Amy returned to the bar and picked up plates of food for delivery. As she walked, she heard many, many voices.

Jesus, look at her, she can't even keep up with waiting tables. She's probably sucking the boss off to keep her spot...

Fuck me, has she got a nice body. Shame she's so damn stupid, though.

Oh boy, I am going to have so much money after this, but fuck my husband is so stupid he can't even ... Hey, that chick is staring at me... Fuck off, bitch! I'm hotter than you!

Amy rolled her eyes and placed the food down at a table in the center of the restaurant. As she walked back, she noticed a black hedgehog sitting on his own in the corner.

She walked over to him and asked him, "Sir, do you need a drink at all? Or are you waiting for someone?"

"I'm fine, thank you." He had a deep, alluring voice, and piercing red eyes. "I don't drink what you serve here."

Silence. Nothing... She couldn't read his thoughts!

"Erm... we have some coffee out the back my boss keeps, but it's rarely used -"

"Tell you what," the hedgehog said, making eye contact, "Do you have any of that synthetic blood?"

The whole restaurant went quiet. Amy's heart quickened. "Yes, yes we do. Coming right up. Heated...?"

The hedgehog smirked. "Yeah."

Amy walked to the bar and grabbed a bottle of blood and microwaved it for the handsome hedgehog. Her workmate Sticks grabbed her and said, "Amy, what on earth are you doing? He's a vampire!"

"I know, and he's sexy, too." Amy smiled, but it quickly vanished after Sticks' concerned expression. "Okay, fine. I won't talk to him. It's just.. I can't hear him, Sticks. Its incredible."

Yeah, well hear me, Amy - you're putting yourself in danger! Get out of there.

Amy sighed and walked over, slamming his bottle on the table, causing the hedgehog to look up interestingly. She stormed off and stayed out the back for the rest of her shift.

As she was leaving, she noticed two dodgy voices shouting at each other in the woods.

"Just fucking hold him, okay?! We're nearly done. Oh baby, we are gonna be RICH!" The woman exclaimed. The same one as before, Amy concluded - the one saying she was hotter than her.

What on earth were they doing?

She tuned in to her mind and tried to listen to their thoughts.

Man I can't wait to sell all this vampire blood. Shit we're gonna make thousands! My babe won't have to work on the streets ever again! And think of the high..."

Amy realised immediately what was going on. They were draining him! Draining his blood for power and money. She ran over beat them, knocking them out. The black and red hedgehog was partly unconscious beneath the trees, moaning.

"Oh my gosh." She said, removing the silver ties from his drained body. She saw gallons of blood and a syringe they had been using to take it from him. "Just stay still now, okay, sir? We're gonna fix you right up, you're gonna be fine. We'll take you to a hospital, and-"

Shadow stared at her, amazed by her stupidity. "Ugh! Have you any idea what I am, you fool?! If you took me to a hospital, they'd kill me! Or use my blood for worse reasons than these fuckers!" Shadow attempted to stand up. "Just leave me be, girl. I can handle this."

But before Amy could walk off as she wanted to, and never see him again, she was attacked from behind, and knocked out.

When she awoke, she saw only black... As she looked up, she saw the hedgehogs eyes glistening at her. As she looked around, she noticed that the two drainers were dead, at the hedgehogs doing.
