Amelia Rose the hedgehog stood at the big door that stood between her and the entrance to her new home. It was starting to rain, and she had knocked several times and gotten no answer. She pulled a card from her pocket. The card had the address of the new place she would be staying at via her fathers orders. Her father had work to do overseas and he told her this would be the new place she would be staying at. However, for the 17 year old this was not a place where she wanted to be. From the outside it looked completely dead and torn to pieces. Amy, short for Amelia, took a deep breath and reached for the door knob. Even if no one answered, she wasn't going to stand out here in the rain. Before she could open the door, it swung open by itself, causing her to take a step back. Even though the door had opened, there was no one standing there. Amy gulped and stepped inside with her bags. She looked around and still saw no one around her.
"Um, hello, is there anybody here?" Amy called out. The hedgehog straightened out her long pink quills and looked around. She saw a flash of red and immediately walked over to investigate. "Hello?" she asked. As she got closer, she could make out the body of a ebony hedgehog with tints of red in his spike quills. It looked like he was sleeping. She watched him for a moment. He looked very young, but old at the same time. She took in his body appearance and felt herself blush. He was quite handsome. "Um, excuse me..." She reached her hand out to touch him and immediately brought her hand back.
"Wow, hes so cold for someone with fur." Amy put her things down and looked at him again, "Hey, are you okay?" She bent her head down to his chest.
...
Amy's eyes widened. There was no pulse. "I have to call someone." Amy fidgeted through her purse for her cellphone, unknown that a red eye had opened to peer out at her. He quickly snatched the electronic device away from her as soon as he could. "Uh, hey, my phone!"
"Damn, your so noisy. Even more then that annoying blue faker." He groaned. His red eyes pierced hers as he sat up to look at her and she felt herself freeze at his glare. "This isn't even your house so could you please try to keep it down?"
"You're... alive?"
"Of course I'm alive. What do you think I am?" He glared at her, becoming more annoyed with her ridiculous behavior.
"But, you had no pulse! No heart beat!" Amy shouted, "It stopped, it wasn't beating at all!" Amy quickly stood up, but his hand was on her waist and pulled her down. He pinned her to the couch he once laid on and Amy turned red scarlet. "W-what are you-"
"What does it look like I'm doing? You woke me up, now you have to pay the price." He said. He held no emotion in his voice and it was absent on his face. He leaned down and began to lick her neck, a gesture that was confusing Amy. Why did her father send her here of all places?
The black hedgehog bared his fangs where she couldn't see them and was about to bite into her neck when a voice called out,
"Shadow, what's going on here?"
Shadow stopped and glared at a young fox a few feet away, a rabbit girl clinging to his arm.
"Damn it, Tails, I'm about to have a snack here."
"Must I remind you that this is our greeting hall. We use this place to greet our guests, not to eat them." Cream chuckled behind her mate, and Shadow sent her a glare. Tails continued, "Please take your activities into your private quarters."
"Jeez, Tails, you're such a buzz kill." Shadow growled. Amy still laid on the couch from all the confusion as Shadow sat up and away from her. She stood up and ran to Tails, bowing before him.
"Please, help me!"
Tails gave her a weird look, "Um, who are you?"
Amy pulled out the same card as earlier, "I'm Amelia Rose Hedgehog. My father told me I was supposed to live here but I don't know why. Maybe I got the wrong house number?" She gave him the card and he examined it, "There is no mistake. This address is ours..."
"Why wasn't Tails explained this? Mr. Shadow, could you explain?" The rabbit asked.
"It's news to me too, Cream. I didn't know flat chest was going to move in with us."
Amy glared at him, "You attacked me! I didn't have a chance to tell you anything!"
...
"AND EXCUSE ME, WHO ARE YOU CALLING FLAT CHEST!?"
"WELL YES YOU'RE EXCUSED, I SAID THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE FLAT CHESTED!"
"This is really strange though, " Said Tails, "I'm wondering why I was never informed of your arrival."
"Excuse me, your name is Tails?" Amy asked. She turned to the rabbit, "And you're Cream?"
Tails nodded, "Pardon me, I don't think it would be right to talk about this here. Follow me. Cream, see to it that her luggage is taken care of."
"Yes, honey." Cream ran over to the bags and disappeared and reappeared in a minute, "All done."
Amy blinked. What was going on? Who were these people?
Cream passed Amy to follow her husband. Amy glanced once more at the one named Shadow. He sent her his own personal death glare and she returned it. She quickly followed Cream to catch up with her and Tails.
Once in the common room, Shadow had somehow already gotten there before her. She sat down away from him, hoping to avoid his gaze. Cream brought her some team. Tails stood in front of all of them, "Now, why don't you introduce yourself and tell us how you came to be living in our house."
"Right, well, I-"
"Well, what do we have here." The room turned their heads up to look at a new figure. A blue hedgehog with green eyes stood there smirking, "A cute girl came to pay us a visit? How sweet."
Amy blinked. And in that time frame of blinking he had popped up right next to her, licking her cheek. She paled and shivered, "G-Gross, what are you doing!?"
"Sorry, you smelled so sweet I couldn't resist." The blue blur admitted.
"Ooh, let me have a taste too." A silver hedgehog leaned over her shoulder from the other side and also licked her cheek. Amy shrieked, "Stop that!"
"You're right Sonic, she does taste sweet."
"I never lie do I silver?"
"YOU GUYS! How inappropriate! It is rude to behave like that in front of a young lady!" The two hedgehogs slithered away from Amy as Tails lectured them, "Don't make me tell Sally and Blaze what you two are up to..."
"But why? It's only natural to want to taste something that looks and smells so yummy." Sonic admitted, "Silver agrees with me."
"You're right I do."
"Fakers," Shadow said finally. "Have you forgotten who saw her first?"
Amy blushed at Shadows comment.
"Oh, Shaddie, didn't see ya there." Sonic said, sticking his tongue out. A vein popped in Shadows head, "I said never to call me that. And the ultimate lifeform is going to be her first everything."
"Everyone is so sick of hearing you want to be called the ultimate lifeform. You're no better then Sonic is."
A new voice again, Amy thought. There were too many people to count. A red echidna popped out of no where, arms crossed.
"Damn it, Knuckles, not you too." Sonic hissed.
Knuckles glared at Amy, "I thought I smelled a human in here. Guess I was right." He pointed a finger at Amy, "Who are you, and why did you wake me from my slumber?"
"How did you get over there so quietly?" Amy asked politely. Knuckles glared and snarled at her, punching the nearby wall, "How dare you be so rude! I believe I asked you a question first!" Amy paled at the sight of the new hole in the wall. "Someone has anger issues." She whispered, just loud enough for Shadow to hear.
"SHUT UP!" Tails shouted. Everyone paled at the fox's sudden anger, "DOES ANYONE KNOW WHATS GOING ON? WHY HAS SHE COME TO LIVE WITH US?"
"Well, I'm thinking this is just some sort of misunderstanding. I'll be on my way now." Amy stood up immediately and Tails glared at her,
"Sit back down."
And she did.
"I am attempting to get to the bottom of this. There is no mistake that the address on the card is ours." He sent her another spine chilling glare, "Don't you think it would be a little discourteous to leave right now?"
"I wonder if she's the young woman he mentioned the other day."
All at once, Sonic, Silver, and Shadow all felt their fur stand on edge. They hissed at the new person. A green hedgehog this time. "Scourge."
Shadow glared at him, "Scourge, do you know anything about this young woman and why she's here?"
"Maybe."
"Don't give us this attitude." Sonic said, "We just wanna know why she's here."
It was quiet as everyone looked at him. He sighed, "That guy said we would have someone from the church coming to stay and visit and that we should treat her with the up most respect."
Shadow clenched his teeth, "You're telling me... that flat chest here is the prospective mate?"
Everyones eyes widened at this.
"Also," Said Scourge, "He said we're not supposed to kill her."
"If that's the case," Said Sonic, "Then we are going to have a very long relationship with this woman."
"It appears that there is no misunderstanding at all," Tails said, glancing at Amy, "Allow us to introduce ourselves."
"That over there is the eldest son, Scourge." Scourge closed his eyes and turned his back to her, putting headphones in.
"My name is Tails and I am the second oldest son." He bowed to her.
"Next are the triplets, Shadow, Sonic, and Silver." Shadow smirked at her with a look that said you're mine.
"The last son is Knuckles." Knuckles shot Tails a look, "Don't say my name."
"I still think theres a mistake." Amy said standing, "No one said anything about me being someones bride. And to be honest... the six of you... all scare me."
They all gave her a glare. She gulped, "I think I need to contact my father."
Shadow pulled out a pink phone from his pocket, "Oh you mean with this thing?"
"Hey, that's my phone!" Amy shouted. "Give it back to me right now!"
"Why should I?" Shadow asked with a smirk. Before she could take it anymore, Knuckles pulled the thing away and smashed it with his bare hands.
"Knuckles, how could you?" Amy asked.
"Get lost." He spat. Then he vanished. Two arms wrapped around Amy from behind, and Sonic smiled, "Aw, don't worry Ames, "You'll be very good friends with us, so there's no need for that silly old phone."
"Yeah, I'm feeling very thirsty right now, brother." Silver hugged her from the other side. Sonic smirked, "Don't I know it. You smell so good, Ames."
Amy quickly pulled away from him, but as she did, she fell and her knees hit the floor hard. Her now scraped knee was overflowing with blood. She paled and looked up, her nightmares coming true. Everyones eyes turned bright red. She paled, They... they're vampires...
She pulled her silver cross out from her back packet, "Get away from me!" They all covered their mouths with their hands, some of them chuckling. Knuckles was not very amused. Scourge actually let out a smile. Tails frowned, "You don't actually believe those fairy tails do you. That a little trinket such as that could actually kill us?"
"But, we learned that vampires are vulnerable to garlic, holy crosses, sunshine..." Amy went on.
"Mortals are so arrogant and foolish." Tails whispered. "It makes me angry."
Amys eyes widened and she fled the room. Tails sighed, "Her manners need some work."
Amy ran all the way towards the front door she came from. She tried to open it, pushing and pulling, but nothing worked. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she instinctively turned to see Shadow standing there. He smirked down at her, "You didn't really think you could escape the ultimate life form did you?" Amy paled. "You're not getting away from me this time."
Amy fled up the stairs to the second floor. She couldn't hear anything over the sound of her heart beat. She ran up another set of stairs. She stopped to catch her breath when she realized that there was a room open, with locks and many things on the floor. She sighed and ran in it and shut the door. All the furniture in it was covered in white cloth. On a nearby nightstand, there were many riches. Necklaces and rings made of the finest material. She looked around the room some more. She stopped at the balcony window. She saw a female figure standing on the edge. She took in the long blonde hair, the pale grey skin. The girl turned around and gave her an evil smile. Amy's eyes widened and she clutched at her heart. What was going on!? She fought her body to breathe and threw herself against the book stand behind her, knocking over some books. She fell to the floor as she finally gained control of her breathing again. When she looked back up, the body was gone. She let out a long sigh. She looked down at a journal on the floor and her eyes widened. Outside of it was a picture of a man holding a baby girl. She picked up the picture and let her eyes take in the babies features. Pink fur, green eyes.
"Is... this m...me?" She looked at the journal, "And is this... a diary? To my father? But how..." She squinted to read some of the text.
"Amy brings me great joy. The fact that she is not my natural child is no longer important to me. I am only grateful for this tremendous blessing every day of my life."
Amy stared down at the journal in pure shock. Tears hit the diary remains, "So... what does this mean? Is it true that I am not my fathers daughter? What is my fathers diary doing here anyway?"
"Of all our rooms, you had to pick this one to enter." Amys head shot up at the sound of Tails voice. He stood there with Cream. Everyone was currently present in the room, "It took all of us to seal off this room so you shouldn't have been able to come in here." He sighed, "I guess I have to install a new lock on the door immediately."
"For sure, but do remind me, how did you even get in here, Ames?" Sonic asked.
"Oh, and don't forget you're my prey so don't move." Silver commanded. Amy glared at him, "WHO IS WHOS PREY?"
"I've had enough of your damn excuses!" Knuckles shouted, hitting the wall again. This action caused Amy to flinch as more books fell to the floor.
"God, shut up Knuckles." Sonic hissed, "What the hell is your problem."
Shadow cupped Amy's face, "That look you made just now when you flinched, it really makes my blood boil."
Sonic and Silver licked their lips. Tails groaned, "Listen, you wont be able to escape from here, so don't try it."
"Stop being a wuss already and get to the point." Knuckles said. "Just tell her that if she tries to escape shes dead."
Shadow had his fangs right above Amy's neck. She pushed against his chest, "No, Shadow! Stop!" Suddenly there was the sound of glass breaking. Everyone looked up. Scourge stood there above a broken picture frame.
"Oops, looks like I knocked something over."
Scourge and the others left the room. Amy let out a sigh of relief when suddenly a hand grabbed her out of no where and pinned her down. She saw Shadows blood red eyes stare deeply into hers. "Hey there Rose, are you ready?" Amy paled, "Shadow..."
"No!"
