CHAPTER 2: Just a Test

I was so delighted. Nothing could stop me.

On the way home Sonic and I sat together right across from Cream.

We chit chatted about random things like our favorite songs and stuff.

I ran off the bus and nearly tripped as I busted into the house.

"Mom! I'm home!!"

"Oh hey baby," said mom. "So how was you day at school today? Oh I bought you some fruit for you a snack and..."-

"GUESS WHAT MOMMA!" I screamed with bliss.

"What?"

"I met this cute boy and he's.... he's... So... I mean me... and he..."

"Hey girl calm down." said mom putting her hand on my shoulder. " One word at a time. Please."

I slowly took a breath.

"I met this guy at school and he wants me to go on a date with him tonight."

"Well really? Luck you. Especially to be there on the third day and your already wanting to go out on dates." said mom with a smile, "So what's this guy name?"

"Sonic Olgilvie Hedgehog." I said," But we just call him Sonic. But he's an eleventh grader just like me."

"Well where does he want to take you?"

"To Jacks Pizza parlor."

"At what time?"

"Seven."

"Well sure. I'm meant you're seventeen years old and I think you need these freedoms."

Yes, I can't believe it. I get to go!

Then the phone rang.

"Hello?" said mom answering it.

I couldn't really hear what the conversation was just a few random words.

"Ok... Yeah... Yes... Really... So tomorrow? Ok I'll be there. The flight's booked already? Tonight!?! But... Ok. I'll be there. Bye."

Mom turned to me.

"Ummm... sweetie. That was my boss. He told me he wanted me to go on an immediate assignment in Boston. He already booked a flight for me at seven, but I have to leave you here." she said," And as much as it disappoints you, I don't you think you shouldn't go tonight."

"But, Mom!" I cried

"I'm sorry sweetie, it's for the best."

Great. Just as I finally got my hopes high of going on a date with Sonic it had to be ruined by her dumb boss. Ugh! I hate it. More change.

"Ok mom." I said quietly, "Just let me go tell him I can't."

Okay his phone number must be in the phone book.

All I have to find the name of the Hedgehogs on my street.

I walked over to where mom kept the phone book. It was a lone table with one drawer in it. On top of it was the cordless phone and inside was the phone book.

"Pulling it out, I fumbled through the pages looking for Hedgehogs. I used my finger to look at the names. Then finally I came to Hedgehogs.

And Lucky for me there was only one.

696-709-0666- Shadow Hedgehog

I picked up the phone and dialed the number.

The phone range three times the some one picked it up.

"Hello?" asked a deep voice.

"Um... Yeah. Is Sonic there?"

"Yes. Let me get him."

The He laid the phone down but I could hear him calling Sonic.

"Hey Faker!" said the voice." Telephone."

"Who is it?" said another.

"Some girl."

"Oh Amy. Ok coming Dad."

There was a moment of silence then the slight rustle of the telephone as he picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Sonic. It's me." I said slowly

"Oh hey Amy." said Sonic with a perky voice.

"I wanted to call you to let you know that I can't come with you tonight."

"Why?" asked Sonic with a deep disappointment.

"My mom's got to go to Boston tonight. The flight's booked for seven."

"Oh."

"She doesn't want me off somewhere where I could get hurt."

"I see..."

"I'm really sorry."

"No it's ok."

There was another moment of silence.

Then Sonic burst out." I have an Idea! How about I come over to your house tonight? We can hang out and watch a movie or something."

"Well really don't…"

"Just go ask your mom."

I put down the phone.

I highly doubt that she'll let me because if she won't .let me go with him to Jack's pizza parlor, she defiantly won't let him come over.

"Hey mom."

"What sweetie?"

"Sonic wanted me to ask you, since I can't go to the Pizza parlor, can he come over tonight?"

"Well, do you think you can keep your hands to yourself?" Ask mom with a stern look on her face.

"Yes mom. I mean I just met him. You Act like were going to have sex or something."

"Well I don't want you getting into trouble... but I guess I can trust you."

I jumped up and hugged her." Thanks mom."

I quickly ran to the phone.

"Sonic?"

"Yes?"

"You can come over. It's still at seven right?"

"Yep."

"Well I see you then. What kind of movie are you bringing?"

"It's a surprise." said Sonic.

"See ya.

"Ok." said Sonic "Bye."

"Bye"

I hung up the phone.

Oh my God. I can't believe it he's coming to my house. This is great!

I ran back to mom.

"How long are you going to be?" I asked hanging her a pile of clothes on her bed that she had folded up.

"A week."

"A WEEK?!?" I screamed, "How do you..."

"I have plenty of food and money for you." she said, "You are old enough to be able to take care of yourself."

"Ok."

That was the last time we spoke until it was six.


She had all of her stuff at the door waiting for the taxi.

"Ok." she said, "You have all the number and stuff."

"Yes um."

"Well you be good, and on you get together. No fooling around."

"Okay mom."

The taxi pulled up.

"Well," said mom, "I'll see you in a week."

She kissed me on the head. "I love you."

"Love you too mom."

"Bye." she said grabbing her stuff.

"Bye."

I watched her as she loaded her stuff up and get in the taxi and drove away.

I shut the front door and went in to the living room and sat down on my couch and turned on the T.V.

It was the news.

"New in today. A young woman found dead in her apartment. They said she had excessive tissue damage on her neck. There was no evidence of the murder. More on that later. Now for the weather with..."

Wow. That must be bad. Poor girl. Who would do such a thing?

I changed the channel and watched Myths and Facts. My Favorite show. This time it was about vampires. An older creepy looking purple and light blue tipped hedgehog came on the screen.

"Yes, the tales and myths about vampires have been told over many centuries. Their stories have always caught our eye, and have often thrilled us, because we know it's only a mere fantasy like Frankenstein or the boogey man. To make their tales even better, people have made stories up like Dracula. Some people portray them as sexy and seductive beings that lure in their prey by lust and sexual desires, while others say they are ugly, hideous creature who capture their prey when they are asleep or defenseless. There are also those very few people who claim they are vampires, but all they are people just caught up in the fantasy. And-----

"DING DONG!!!"

It was Sonic.

I turned of the T.V. and jumped up to open the door.

"Hey!" said Sonic with a smile.

"Come in." I said. Then I looked at the clock.

"You're early." I said

"Well it's only fifteen till seven."

"So didja bring a movie?"

"Why yes I did." said Sonic holding up a Wal-Mart bag."

I showed him into the Living room.

He plunked down on my couch I sat down beside him.

There was a moment of silence.

"So did you hear the news about the girl?" I asked.

"You mean the one who was found dead with the puncture marks in her neck?" asked Sonic." "Yeah I heard. Tragic isn't it."

"Yeah, after that I started watching something about vampires on Myths and Facts. Wait it should still be on."

I grabbed the remote and turned it on.

For real vampires, they stay hidden, in the shadows, but seem very average around humans. Even with the tales and myths, most people don't believe in vampires.

"Ha! Vampires, "I said." I don't believe in them."

"You don't?" asked Sonic scratching his ear.

"Well actually I don't know." I said, "I mean they could be real and stuff, but I've never met one before."

"So, I've got to ask you something." said Sonic

"What?"

"Would you believe me if I told you I actually knew a vampire." he asked.

What in the world? Is he loosing it?

"Umm... sure. If you proved it to me." I said.

"Okay." said Sonic," close your eyes."

"WHAT?!? Why?"

"Just do it."

I slowly closed my eyes.

I wonder what he's doing. I think he's just trying to freak me out to see if I'm brave or not. Yeah it's just a test it's..._

"OPEN THEM!"

I opened my eyes. There was no one there except him.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny!" I said, "You got me."

He just laughed.

"You know, you're a nice girl.' do you want to be my girl friend?"

I couldn't believe it I haven't even know him a day and he's asking me to be his girl friend.

"Why Yes."

He smiled.

"Yeah..." I laughed, "Where's that so called vampire?"

"You're looking at it."

I laughed at him because I thought it was a joke.

But my laughing impeded when he smiled.

His teeth where pointed and he had a devilish smile.

"What is going on?" I asked as I slid over to the other arm of the couch.

"You tell me," said Sonic moving closer still smiling.

His eyes where hollow as he stared at me.

"So this isn't a joke."

"No" said Sonic," Its real."

He then grabbed my face.

"No!" I screamed as I jerked away from him.

I took off running toward the door.

"You aren't going any where missy." screamed Sonic

Then I felt a cold breeze and in a flash there he was in front of me.

He reached out toward me.

I crossed my arms in front of my face.

He grabbed my arm and he pulled me to him with my face facing away from him.

"Please don't kill me."

He still had his arm wrapped around me with a tight grip around my neck.

"No. I won't kill you." he said. "That I promise, but don't make any sudden or rash moves."

"I don't under stand." I told him while shaking and frozen in fear.

This was crazy, but how could he deceive me like this. I guess I should have listened to mom when she told me to watch who I fall in love with, and this time, I knew I was paying for it.

"What do you want?" I asked him.

"I need you to hush and close your eyes." he told me, "Do this or die."

There was nothing I could do. My fate has come. I closed my eyes.

I felt Sonic run his hand down my neck.

"You will feel a little pinch." said," Like a bee sting."

I then broke from his arms.

He jumped thinking I'd take off, but I didn't because that would have been a deadly mistake.

"What I screamed that's what the doctor says when He gets ready to pop a needle in my butt, and it hurt like hell!"

"Don't speak." said Sonic coming close and putting his hand on my face, "Just look deep into my eyes. Maybe something might happen, but I won't truly kill you."

His voice was so calming and assuring. Just perfect. May be the myths are true; maybe every thing about him draws me to him. His look, his scent, and his keenness.

All of a sudden I was dreaming.

I was standing in an oasis. There were birds singing and a waterfall that cascaded down mossy rocks.

In front of me was Sonic holding my hand.

"Follow me." he said with a smile.

His long blue quills flew in the light breeze that blew about us.

His blue skin shown brilliantly in the sun as he lead me to the pool of water that was rippling from the water fall about thirty feet away.

He let go of my hand for a moment as a smile came a crossed his face.

He then stuck his hands to his ears and made a playful childish gesture.

"Nyah!" he said sticking out his tongue and immediately diving into the water.

"Come back here." I laughed as I dove in and swam after him.

He then lifted up above the water right before the waterfall.

His wet quills were all covering his face.

I laughed as he took of the wet shirt on his back and tossed it to the bank.

He then leaned back in the water and lifted up making his quills go out of his face and down his shoulders.

Sonic then gave me a light smile.

"Come here."

I then swam over to him.

He grabbed my hand again we the jumped into the water and dove under the strong current of water into a small cave.

Inside the cave there were small puddles of water and a beautiful light coming from the mouth of the cave that made them glow immensely.

Sonic turned me around and with out saying a word he started kissing me.

First on the lips and then working his way to my cheek and then toward my neck.

Each kiss was icy cold but electric.

He kept kissing, but suddenly he stopped.

"What?" I asked him.

He looks at me with a wide eyed look and he closed his eyes and thrust his head toward me.

I jumped at the pain.

Suddenly the dream ended.

I opened my eyes.

Sonic then let out a light hiss followed by a deep sigh. My body felt like it was burning, then I felt my self drop to the ground. My eyes fluttered, then something caught my eye.

Sonic had a wet crimson ring around his mouth. It was blood. My blood. He was truly a vampire.

It was a sign that I was going to die.

"What... did you do... you promised I wouldn't die."

"You won't die only your body will..." said Sonic slowly licking his lips and sighing.

Then he bent down and thrust his hand toward me striking my head.

I then passed out.
