So here's the vampire fic I've been wanting to put up. Just want to say that fans of Sonic may not want to read this fic. I warn you now before some Sonic fan starts leaving reviews about anything bad that may happen to Sonic. There's really only one pairing which is ShadAmy so if you don't like it then don't read. This fic happens around two years after Sonic Adventure 2 so any Sonic titles that happened after SA2 never happened. Now then here's the ages of the characters who appear in this fic:

Shadow the Hedgehog: Over 50

Amy: 16 (Yes I did have to radically change Amy's age to suit the fic but she's still the same as always)

Sonic: 16

Tails: 9

??: 400 (An OC character)

??: 580 (Read this chapter to find out)

Please read and review! Oh and sorry if the summary is crap.

Angry crimson red eyes darted around, searching for an unsuspecting fool to come in sight. They continued their search as the moonlit sky shone with the light of the moon, said light illuminating the crimson eyes. If one was to look into those eyes they would see the thirst for blood hidden with veils of anger. Finally the eyes found a target, a nearby home occupied by a male human. The human was currently preparing to sleep. Then in a flash, the eyes disappeared. The human never knew what was coming. That night a scream of unparalled terror rang throughout the city of Station Square.

A black and red hedgehog skated around the streets, bored out of his mind. He yawned and took a bite out of the stale bread he had stolen. The hedgehog, named Shadow, was a wanderer and thus he had no home, no roof above his head as so some people thought. He continued on his run when he stopped at a local electronics store. The store usually kept a T.V. by the windows and currently the said T.V. was showing the news. Having nothing better to do, Shadow got within hearing range, along with several humans. He took another bite of his bread as the news station went over their top story for the day.

"Our top news story today: Another dead person was found in his home dead with bite marks found on his neck. Strangely there was no blood found at the scene of the crime. This murder is just one of the many deaths that have been occuring lately in our fair city. Please if you have any information regarding these deaths, the local authorities urge you to call and share your information." The news reporters announced.

Shadow rolled his eyes and left, his boredom gone now. "Fools," Shadow whispered. The hedgehog knew who was killing humans, in fact he is the only one who knows, since he is the one committing the crimes. To Shadow though, the death of humans was a necessary thing. After all a vampire could not sustain himself on scraps now could he? Nope a vampire sustained himself with the blood of a living creature. Shadow grunted as he perfectly recalled the memory of the day that his life permanently changed.

When Shadow had teamed up with the faker, Sonic the Hedgehog, he sacrificed himself in order to stop the ARK from falling onto the Earth. He had fallen into the atmosphere crashing into the Earth. He was thought dead after that but being the Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow was not one to fall and die so easily. As he had awakened several days after falling, a strange dog had bitten him. The dog was reminiscent of a typical zombie, rotting flesh sagging down from it's body, the fleas crawling over the tiny bit of hair left on the dog's body. The bite left him unconscious for a while until he was awake again. Then Shadow found that he had grown a lust for blood, effectively turning Shadow into a vampire. Since that day, Shadow would feast on the blood of a human in order to keep his strength up.

With a grunt, the vampire hedgehog shook his head, clearing his mind. Shadow mentally smirked as he changed his pace, now running. He ran, suddenly homesick when he ran into the one person he did not want to ever see.

"Hey what's the big idea!" A certain blue hedgehog cried. Sonic was reduced to fake tears as his chili dog fell to the ground. Then Sonic noticed the familiar black and red hedgehog who was trying to quietly get away. "Shadow?! You're alive?! Holy chili dogs!"

Shadow groaned. "Go away faker,"

"Aw come on Shad! Can't I say hi since I thought you were dead?" Sonic grinned. Shadow glared at the faker. Obviously he was in no mood to deal with Sonic. In a flash Shadow disappeared leaving Sonic behind. The blue hedgie shrugged and dashed to the other side of the street. "Hey Fred give me another!"

Shadow sighed in relief. He had used Chaos Control to teleport himself. The vampire hedgie allowed himself to smile a bit as he looked up at the castle in front of him. Shadow had teleported himself to his home which just happened to be the Middle Ages-looking castle in front of him.

"Finally I'm home," Shadow smirked. He walked up to the doors and he tried to push them but they did not budge. Shadow mentally slapped himself for forgetting about the only way to enter. "It is me, thy Master Shadow,"

The doors opened for their master, Shadow gladly entering his home. Now as Shadow sighed, his thoughts came to his recent encounter with Sonic. "That damn faker is going to really start annoying me now," Shadow muttered. This whole time he had been carefully avoiding any contact with Sonic or his friends. It was the reason that Sonic reacted that way after all. Shadow growled as he headed to his room. Then unexpectedly Shadow yawned. He looked out of the closest window, seeing the sun starting to set. "Soon I'll have myself a little snack," Shadow muttered.

The hedgie walked to his room and there he got himself into his bed and awaited nightfall.

Night

Shadow grunted as his eyes slowly opened. Immediately his gaze focused on the sky, which had turned to night. From his castle window, he looked around, the heavenly stars shining bright. Shadow smirked. Thankfully he was glad to have chosen this castle as his home. Like most of the other old castles, Shadow's was in a countryside not too far from Station Square. To boot, there was a small village nearby but Shadow usually ignored them. With a quick motion, Shadow now stood on the edge of the window as the slight breeze gently passed through his face. In one step, Shadow moved forward and he started to fall down. To others it would have looked like suicide but Shadow knew better than that.

The smirk still on his face Shadow growled as bat wings of black sheath grew from his back, his teeth sharpening and getting stronger. Normal hedgehog teeth were not suitable for blood sucking now were they? Suddenly his descent stopped, the wings keeping him suspended in the air. Shadow looked at his wings, they were rather long, about two times the length of one arm to his other arm. Of course Shadow didn't care, he had always thought bigger wings were much better. Now clearing his thoughts, Shadow flew towards Station Square, landing on the roof of a building.

The vampire hedgehog smirked. He didn't have to hunt at night, since he could hunt by either day or night. It didn't matter since he could summon his wings and his enhanced teeth at any time of day.

So the hungry vampire hedgie knelt down and looked around, keeping his eyes peeled for a human who was foolish enough to be alone at night. Luck was in his favor today as an idiotic human male was attempting to violate a muffled female human.

"Humans are so pitiful," Shadow frowned. He swooped down and grabbed the human and smirked. The male cowered as Shadow took him to the roof of a different building.

"What are you?!" The male human whimpered. Shadow put his mouth over the male and sunk his teeth into the human's exposed neck. Once finished with his feeding, Shadow smiled in satisfaction. He threw the corpse away and licked his lips for any remaining blood. His hunger now satisfied, Shadow flew away, thoughts of his morbid actions appearing in his mind.

"Strange but I was never this morbid before... sure I do not care for such morals yet... how could such a change in my physical appearance, affect my personality? Maria...forgive me," Shadow brooded.

The hedgie flew to the highest building in Station Square and sat on it's roof. He looked up at the dark night sky and sighed. The moon was high that night and it's shining light lit up the night sky with beauty. "Shame that most idiotic humans cannot appreciate these wonders,"

Again Shadow flew away, this time heading for his castle. It only took a matter of minutes for the airborne hedgehog to get within viewing distance of his castle to notice that something was amiss. The doors to his castle had a very big hole in them. He glared and dropped down to inspect the hole. "Whoever did this is going to pay,"

He climbed into the hole and entered his castle. Inside, everything was as Shadow originally left. He growled and looked around. A foreign scent entered his nose, making Shadow's fur shudder. The smell was horrible. As he looked around, searching for the intruder to his castle, Shadow did not notice the heartless, beady black eyes staring at him with desire and arousal.

"Ooh he's a perfect one!" Shadow heard. His ears perked up. The intruder was still in the castle.

"Show yourself you cowardly bastard!" Shadow snarled.

"Aww a cowardly bastard?" The intruder replied and dropped down from the ceiling. Shadow turned around and glared at the one who dared intrude on his castle. The intruder was a odd-looking blue kangaroo. It's snout was rounder than those of other kangaroo and oddly enough it had rabbit ears. It's tail was long but not that long. Plus it's tail was much more thicker than regular kangaroo tails. It's black eyes made Shadow feel a bit uncomfortable which was truly an amazing effect to have the Ultimate Lifeform. Another thing that set this blue 'roo from others was the feet which were short. The blue kangaroo's arms had sharp claws and nothing else. Lastly, which Shadow snorted at, was the cliche vampire cape and the blue demonic wings.

"Like what you see?" The kangaroo smiled and posed. Shadow snorted again. Female. Probably a female vampire. He growled and readied himself for a fight. Unluckily the vampiress took this growl to have sexual meanings and lunged at Shadow.

Shadow kicked the vampiress, sending her crashing into the wall. The vampiress smiled again and got up.

"You seem really strong...that makes you worthy for having me in bed," The vampiress smirked and fluttered her eyes. Shadow rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Shut it bitch," Shadow replied.

"Aww I feel insulted now," She charged at Shadow and rapidly attempted to punch Shadow. Shadow grunted as a few punches made contact with his face. "I'm Rala 'Shee. What's your name sexy?"

Shadow glared at Rala 'Shee and wiped the small amount of his own blood away. "None of your business," Shadow charged some Chaos energy into his hand and spears appeared out of the sphere of Chaos energy. Rala frowned as the spears stabbed her body. The blood spilled onto the floor as Rala checked her wounds.

"Not bad handsome but I'll be back," Rala slyly smiled and disappeared, leaving no trace other than her blood on the floor.

"Bitch," Shadow grumbled. Suddenly he felt pain on his chest. He checked his chest and found a big slash mark close to his heart. Immediately Shadow nearly fell to the ground but managed to keep himself standing. "Damn,"

His hand was on his head as he wobbled due to dizziness and a huge headache. He dashed out of his castle and took flight. He groaned as blood left his body due to the wound. Shadow arrived at Station Square barely conscious. He groaned again as he was loosing consciousness. "Damn," Shadow quickly looked around and spotted a fox-head shaped house.

"It'll do," Shadow weakly mumbled. He lowered himself closer to the ground though he quickly lost control. Now the poor vampire hedgie was hurtling to the ground and soon enough he crashed. The noise of Shadow's crash managed to wake the owner of the fox house and the owner soon dashed out hurriedly.

"What happened?" The voice of Miles 'Tails' Prower called out as he ran to inspect the crater. As the smoke cleared, Tails was able to spot Shadow's unconscious body. "Oh my...is that Shadow?!"

Tails ran to the body, shocked that Shadow was still alive. Mustering his strength, Tails grabbed Shadow's hands and dragged him into his house.

And so it begins.
