Curse Of The Demon

Chapter 2: Voices...

Hello everyone and I deeply apologize for the really long wait for this chapter. I have been busy with life and had trouble with how to begin this chapter. But I promise I will update faster for this story, so I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Shadow sat on the couch as he quietly reading a book. He knew rouge would come back soon from shopping with Amy and cream. The black hedgehog was happy at the opportunity for some quiet time away from her constant blabbing about weird topics like jewels or clothes or other girly topics. The streaked creature could hear footsteps outside the door and hoped it wasn't the bat coming back, but luck wasn't on his side as he heard the door unlock and her voice announcing her arrival. But as he looked up, Shadow groaned as rouge showed him a invitation card with the number in her hand as she gazed at it excitably.

On the card was decorated balloons with text which invited them too Sonics 21 birthday. "I'm not going to that party you know" the hedgehog said as she showed him the card. The bat couldn't help but roll her eyes and replied "you've never even been to one of our parties, and besides you might have fun". Shadow growled as he replied "I don't think so and besides people and party doesn't mix well for me". His companion turned around from her bags and replied coolly, "how about try it for a while and if it's that bad them you can go home, Strips".

The bat couldn't help but smirk as the other glared at the nickname she had given him. The treasure hunter ignored the glare and continued trying to convince her anti-social friend with saying, "come on shadow could it be that bad for one night, and besides won't it be nice to see everyone for a while"? The other had not seen the others for at least a month ever since eggman latest scheme got destroyed. Shadow decided to relax on the couch as he mulled over the whenever to go or not. On one hand he could try and see what happened but another part of him hated the idea of going to a party with annoying music, people and will probably have silly kid party games.

Rouge could tell her friend was thinking by the thoughtful gaze on his face so she left him alone for a while. After about ten minutes the bat heard her door squeak open as her friend poked his head in with as he sighed and said "I guess I could try it". After the door closed rouge smiled happy that her friendwas going for once and quickly got ready for the party. Sonic heard the doorbell ring as he squeezed pass the two dancing partners and answered the door surprised to see shadow with rouge outside. The blue hedgehog beamed as he let the two in happy to see both come together for once while saying politely "Hey guys, I'm glad you could make it come on in".

The white bat entered quickly, while her companion entered more slowly as if regretting the idea now. Inside the room was crowded with people dancing while loud music blasted throughout the home with drinks and food in a corner. The blue hedgehog had disappeared quickly in the home to get more drinks from the fridge before they ran out. The black hedgehog decided to get a drink and watch the party for a while. After about six drinks shadow started to get a headache and decided to take a break before it got worse.

Rouge suddenly appears beside him and said loudly to be heard over the music "how's the party strips"? The darker being only grunted and replied "eh, it's alright I guess but I'm starting to get bored". The treasure hunter could see her friend's drinks stacked beside him and decided to keep an eye on her friend in case he had too much and start hurting himself or others. "So, you want to dance for one song" she asked innocently but tried to hide a smirk that was forming, knowing the other hated dancing. "No, I do not want to dance especially with strangers around" he replied coldly.

The white bat huffed and calmly walked away while disappearing in the crowd. After she left Shadow suddenly felt a sharp pain run through his body and couldn't help but grunt lightly in pain. "I think I've had enough drinks" the pained hedgehog thought as he put his hand on his head". Suddenly he heard a darker voice say "oh don't worry it's only going to get far worse for you". Surprised the streaked hedgehog couldn't help but look around confused when he saw that no one in the party had talked to him except his annoying rival for a few minutes.

The pain seemed to increase as the voice spoke again "yes, the spell is working and soon I will be unleashed to start my master's greatest plan". Shadow was now crouching in pain as he groaned while replying "what the hell are you talking about and who are you"? The voice laughed like crazy as he responded coldly "I guess you could say that I'm a spark for this world's destruction but who I am doesn't concur you prince". The pained doubled as the crazy voice kept laughing at the hedgehog's pain, so his body naturally got on his knees while groaning louder while trying to make the pain stop. At the side of the table Amy who was happily talking to sonic after finally finding him in the crowd, noticed shadow on his knees with eyes closed and hands on his head.

Curious, she walked over and heard loud groaning from him. The pink hedgehog leaned by one of his ears and asked "hey, are you alright shadow you don't look so good". The darker hedgehog didn't reply but instead groaned way louder than before, so Amy quickly decided to get sonic for help. She found him by the windows while quickly weaves through the crowd and approached him "Sonic, I think something is wrong with Shadow" she said urgently. The blue hero turned around quickly and laughed while deciding to make a joke "what did Mr. Ultimate life form have too much to drink"?

The pink girl shook her head and said worried, "I'm serious sonic he seems to be in a lot of pain". The blue hedgehog got serious as he approached his darker rival who was still in the same position as before, but seemed to be weaker as his whole body started shaking slightly. The blue blur became worried as he approached quickly and noticed his eyes were shut tight as more pain indulged the streaked creature. Quickly Sonic helped his pained friend on his feet while asking him what happened, The only response was more grunts but finally a voice replied only it wasn't Shadows normal gruff voice, instead a demonic voice shouted "I'm finally free" as a purple shock wave sent everyone on the ground while a bright purple light, blinded everyone's vision.
