Chapter 1 cont..

The screams got louder as the group got deeper into the woods. Shadow, looking desperately for the women he loved. When he turned around to check on the group, he noticed he was all alone.

"Where are you, you coward!" Shadow yelled into the night, hoping to draw out the thing that had kidnapped rouge. Then, as a response, a body was thrown into his path, concealed in the darkness. Shadow slowly walked over to the body, trying to get a better look at it, to figure if his suspicions were true. When he got close enough, he turned, not being able to take what he saw.

It was Rouge, her body covered in cuts, bruised, her wings cut off, her throat slit. Silver had just caught up, seeing shadow looking away in disgust at what he saw on the ground. "Shadow, im sorry," he started, but Shadow stopped him, complete silence surrounding them. Then, they heard the crack of a twig coming from the west.

They chased after the sound, hoping to find the source. Then, rustling. Coming from the east to be exact. Then, they heard footsteps from the north and south, all of the sounds closing in on there position.

Silver and Shadow just waited, preparing for whatever was making the noises. Then, Sonic rushed into the little clearing, he being the footsteps from the north. Blaze and Amy walked in from the east and west. That left one direction left. They all started creeping towards the sounds of retreating footsteps.

When the footsteps got too faint, they all started running towards the sound, hoping to catch the monster. When they reached the source of the steps, they were shocked at what they saw. A demon being, not even a species from what they could tell. It was a body, with a metal mask on, with breathing holes spaced into it. Three tails flowed from behind him, making him look demonic. He had demon horns, only adding to that conclusion. Spiked shoes, with were-hog arms and shaggy fur all over his body.

"What the hell are you!" Shadow yelled at the weird being. It just looked at him, turning its head to the side, as if observing their every move. "Alright, if you won't tell me, im gonna beat it out of you!" Shadow yelled as he charged over to the demon. Then, as if Shadow was moving in slow-mow, he dodged and caught his leg, throwing him back to the group.

He uttered only one word after that, in a mechanical voice, "Stay." He continued to watch them, trying to think of what to do with them. Then, he heard a rustling from a bush, running away from the clearing. His red eyes narrowed, as he teleported into the woods.

The gang turned around when they noticed that Amy had been the rustling. "We need to help her!" Sonic yelled as he ran into the woods, following the direction the rustling came from. "I'll go with you, Silver, take Blaze and try to find a way out." Shadow ordered. Silver nodded as he took Blaze and ran into the direction he thought was the way out.

Amy ran as fast as she could, hoping to escape the nightmare she was living in at the moment. Then, when she thought she found the way out, she was met by the chest of the beast that had terrorized them for the past night. She looked up and saw his face, him looking down at her, evil intent in his eyes. He grabbed her and teleported away...

A/N: Okay., I got a little carried away with this chapter, and I don't have time to write anymore. I can't give you guys a choice, because that was the ending of chapter one. This won't happen often, so I will go back to the rules next chapter. And thanks PhantoMNiGHT321 for reviewing. I need reviews guys, and criticism is accepted if I messed up anywhere in this chapter. Later.
