2. Chapter 1

-The smell in the wind

Chapter 1: New face

It's funny how your mind works isn't it? You think you're over something, but seemingly out of nowhere you feel this sharp pang of guilt, and pain. You know why you feel this, but not why it came out of nowhere. I looked up at the sky above me, the sun was setting, night was coming. I got lost on the way here many times, you try looking for a small city surrounded by more small cities, it was hard! But maybe that's why, for many nights I only blamed myself for her disappearance and/or death. I closed my eye shut. No, no tears. I'm doing my job right now. I can't have any signs of weakness.

xXx

The pink hedgehog made her way to the small city by motor bike. The night had just consumed the sky and the only thing that lite up her way was the moons soft glow and her bike front light. She traveled all day and luckily she was going to be able to make it at night. About four years ago, her comrade had disappeared at this same location, trying to find and slay a certain vampire.

His profile read as follow: Hedgehog; Emerald Green eyes; Blue fur; peach skin and muzzle; taunts and sucked the blood from the people in this town; no know deaths; caused the disappearance of former member Blaze the cat.

Amy hated this guy, more vampires where in this area as he had moved on after this incident. She looked down at the name, the friend she had lost those years ago. Because of him she was gone. Amy had to step it up; Blaze was no longer there to protect her like she did in the past. Over the years she trained harder, and accompanied silver on some of his jobs to see how a professional handled it, and many times her own life was at risk by doing so. But after much pain and a few battle scars, she became the second best in her team. And one day she promised that they would be able to take down this infamous blue hedgehog, for her sake and for Blaze's.

But that day was not going to be today. Her job was to slay someone else, someone less…devious purr-say. It was a bee, haa. Who knew vampires could be bees? This made the pink hedgehog giggle. This will be too easy. He was known for preying on small children or elderly, sometimes killing them. He must have not been very good, these are weak targets.

xXx

Well, hopefully he's not very skilled, I spent too much time GETTING here, and I rather not spend any extra time here. I was already inside the city, I had to turn off my lights and head by foot, I wouldn't want to wake the people here and get them in a frenzy. I folded my arm inside of my jacket, and stepped as quietly as I could. The night was barren of people, the people out her new there were vampires here, and would rather say inside where it was safer, smart people. I rounded a couple of blocks, leaning on walls slightly and avoiding the few street lights there where. That's when I spotted it. He was by an open window on the second floor at the corner of the street I was it. Ha this going to be too easy! - when I car's headlight ran past me, illuminating the street and casting a shadow in front of me, revealing my location. DARN IT, I yelled in my head as I saw him turn away from my direction and flying the corner. Well looks like it's going to be a chase then! I sprinted on my heels to follow after him. When I looked ahead to where he was going, it was straight to the forest! I sped up my pace, and pulled out my gun. It won't kill him, but I'm sure it would slow him down, and cause some noise, but it was a tradeoff I was willing to do. I shot multiple rounds at him, reloading twice; he was hit multiple times, until he finally fell down at the beginning of the forest. "Excellent!" I shouted, as I smiled. "Prey on the weak I see? Not while I'm here!" I manifested my hammer and used it to hit the floor in front of me and flipped, so I can gain some speed in the air. I nearly landed on him when he rolled over and started to run he was about to fly when I started to shoot his wings. "Not-aw!" I taunted as I pulled out a sharp wooden stake. I came up at him and hit him with my hammer so he would fall on the floor. He gasped and I was able to jump on top of him, causing him to lose the air right out of him.

"You poor thing, not much of a fight are you?" I looked down at him, pinning his arms with my hand, and sitting on his legs. He squirmed some but it was no use, I was bigger than him and he seemed too weak from all that I have done to him.

He began to sob and then stop moving. "Just do it already!" he yelled out "you monsters are always killing us, so just finish me already!" he spat out at me.

"What?" I whispered out. What was he- WHAT?

"No you're wrong! If anything you guys are the monsters! Killing people just to satisfy yourselves?! What is that?" I readied my stake in my hand with a firm grip on it. But I wanted to hear what this stupid thing had to say.

"We need blood to survive! And what difference is it then you guys killing animals? If anything it worse! We don't grow them up just to slaughter them! Then you slayers come in, what have we done to you to hunt and kill us?!"

Oh no, now you did it. "Because of one you creatures, one of your little buddies KILLED MY BEST FRIEND, SHE'S DEAD! WE COULDN'T EVEN FIND HER BODY SO WE COULD BURRY IT!" tears welled up in my eyes, and in blind rage, I staked him, right on the spot that would have held the boys heart. With a slight gush, it made its way inside of him, blood jolted out of his stab and oozed on chest and stained my gloves. His eyes rolled back and his body stopped moving all together. I stood there, staring at him. I decide to close his eyes, in an act of kindness on my behalf.

I slowly rose up from his lifeless body. I didn't even know his name. Ah I hated it when I let my emotions out of hand like that, but in the end he's gone, and hopefully this town may sleep a little more at ease. I smiled and removed the stake from his non-moving chest and stood up putting it away in my jacket along with my gun that I just reloaded. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of the night chilled air in, and then breathed out. All in a day's work. I said to myself. I brushed off some of the dirt and grass off of my clothing. It was time to leave, the cleaning crew will be here after I send in my report, but that could wait. I headed back in the city in the direction of where my bike was. It took a few minutes but I made it. This was a ticket out of this place. I pulled out the keys from my pocket when I felt this brush of wind seemingly out of nowhere. It was strong enough that I closed my eyes for a second, and the next thing I knew was that my keys where gone!

"What?!" I yelled out in confusion and looked around to see if I had dropped them when I felt that wind. "But I just-!" I was cut off by someone scoffing. I stood absolutely still. Guess the little guy had some friends. This could get real ugly real soon.

"I would assume you would need these, right?" I heard a male voice from my right flank, but it was distant. I closed my eyes and sighed out load. "Aww don't act like that, I'll give them back... Soon!" this person mocked me by sighing as well then chuckling as well.

"You know it is very rude to make fun of someone you never met before." I still faced away, not quite yet ready to see for myself if this guy was a vampire, or just some creep.

"Aww, sorry, where are my manors?" it sounded like he hit the floor, was he on a tree then? "I'm Sonic the hedgehog …"But I had my keys…I was on the ground, how as he so fast? What's going on? My thoughts where interrupted when I could hear the grass beneath him crunch as he approached. Oh god he's coming closer. He came closer, and closer, AND CLOSER! I folded my arms, slowly wiggling my fingers inside my jacket. "…diplomatic leader of the Easter vampires…" he spoke with a sweet smile. Ooh crap, I'm in for it now! "…what would your name be then?" he put a hand on my shoulder, and all hell broke loose.

I swung my hammer right on his furry blue face and sent him flinging back in the forest. Wait…blue? I squinted my eyes, oh my gosh, his fur was- HE WAS A HEDGEHOG?! Oh no! This can't be happening! No wait, this was my chance! I ran up to him and stake in hand. Today is the day that I avenge Blaze! Though I knew Alice and silver would have done anything to see it, sorry guys. I flung up my stake over him and slammed it down; I don't for care any small talk this monster could offer me! My hand as stopped right before it crashed into his chest. He caught it? He looked up at me with those emerald eyes of his. My face contorted to one of pure anger. "That's not a cute face you know." He said with a sly smile and wink.

"Tsk" I let out and ripped the stake from his hand and reached for my hammer and swung it at him. He caught it, as I planned he would.

"Woo now, who's being rude now?" he said with a chuckle. I went down and slid my leg down, causing him to losing his footing. He tripped and I hit him with my hammer and there he went again, soaring in the air. I couldn't help it I ran up and hit him again downward to the floor. He coughed some but then smiled. "Hoo, looks like you got some moves I see?" he chuckled softly." But seriously, play time is over" he swiftly pulled the hammer out of her hands and tossed it. He kicked the floor and made him slide away from her and he sprang up to his feet. He titled his head towards her and smiled "what's your name then?" you don't understand how fast he did this in; I barely had time to react when he pulled my hammer away.

I had enough of this! "Stop messing around" I growled at him this time, I pulled out both my guns and fired at him having to reload many times. He kept dodging them, he was to fast! I cringed and put them away; shooting at him while he was not close was absolutely pointless if he kept running like that. I never moved my gaze away from him.

When I lowered and put my guns away he stopped and looked back at me. "Oi! You done yet?" he yelled out, hands on the sides of his mouth for that 'extra emphasis'. I hunched over and glared at him. He was really getting under my skin. He then started to walk toward me, I flinched some. He threw his arms up in surrender. "Hey now, no need for that look, all I want to do is talk." He spoke with a smile and pointed to what I assumed was my face. Now was my chance, and I just put them away. I pulled out my guns and started to fire at him while he approached me. I can't believe it, he used the golden rings around his wrists to deflect ALL my bullets, just flipping his arms around, making the bullets fall to the floor with a ping! If I said I wasn't a bit scare even a little bit, that would have been a lie. I reloaded but right when I was replacing the mag, he flicked the gun from my hand and smashed it and held my hand where my other one was in "Will you relax already? Gosh you're kind of getting annoying now"

I slammed my fist in his face; he must have not seen this coming because he didn't even move. "How in the world do you expect me to RELAX?! Do you know what you are? You're a freaking vampire who can suck me dry at any moment. And you want me to RELAX?" I tore my arm away and pulled out my stake again and swung at him. Ahh and again he caught my arm and pulled, turning me around and restrained my other arm. I thrashed about, commanding him to let me go, I even tried to stomp on his feet, but he moved them away. And then I realized, this was a great position to-

I screamed and jerked my leg back to hit him on his man parts. He let go of me and dropped down with a loud groan. At this point, I was getting really tired of this. I lifted the stake up above him, and yelled out, "FOR BLAZE!" his eyes widen as he heard the name. He rolled back and caught himself with his hand on the floor. He looked up at me with wide eyes.

xXx

What? So this girl was one of them? Blaze did like to talk about her friends, ha! This one must be Amy! When she said pink she meant pink! She forgot to mention feisty, but she told me she was super nice, I don't think so If I do say so myself. She won't even give me a chance to talk to her. "You must be Amy rose right?" I said, it felt like we were already friends. She jerked her head, she must have been surprised I knew her name, oh lord I must seem like a creep to her. Well it's not like I can tell her I know Blaze, she specifically asked me not to tell them. She quivered a little, but then stiffened up, but I already saw it.

"How did you know that?" she asked in a weary voice, obviously not intended, getting in a ready striking position. Hmm I might have some fun with this after all.

xXx

He made such a mischievous smile; I wanted to shiver but held it in, but boy was it hard. I grunted to hold it in and barked "How did you know?!" he then started to laugh like a little school girl, what a monster. "Wh-what did you do to Blaze?!" I stuttered, I was truly afraid now, was he having fun thinking how he killed her. Will I die like her, or even worse? He came closer to me each was painfully slow. I had 7 bullets left, 3 in one, and 4 in the other, but I know they won't do any good. My hammer was gone and he had my keys, I'm cornered.

Is this the end of me? I'm sorry Alice, I won't be able to teach you how to properly stake, sorry Silver I guess I did always get in the way, and most off all, I'm so, so sorry Blaze, I guess I won't be able to avenge you. I almost felt tears wail up, but I felt my hands rise up, the sharp piece of wood still in them, subconsciously, I was still fighting! No it's not over!

His face held a sideways smile and his head was tilted some. "What do you think I did to her?" he asked. I didn't care what he had to say anymore. I charged at him and he moved away I slid down beside him and I pulled his leg. He turned to look at what I was doing, but by then he was already on the floor. I flipped my leg over him and planted my stake in him.

"For you blaze…" I whispered and closed my eyes; I let out a deep sigh. I open my eyes again and to my horror, the stake only went through his hands…he blocked it with his hands over his heart.

"Close but no cigar." he smirked at me. I turned pale. He pulled the stake out of my fingers, I heard him pull it out of his hand, every gruesome bubble of blood and every gush that spat out of this wound. "Do you want to talk now or do you want to keep playing this game?" he said while raising his hand to his face and licking it. I saw it suddenly stopped bleeding and looked in horror. What did he do, can they all do that? I put my head down, it was over, he won. I heard a snap and looked up again, to see my stake was in half now I saw it fall to the floor next to me; my mouth dropped and then looked back at him. Was he enjoying this?

""Well I hope you're comfy" he said with a smirk and he folded his legs. I felt him fold his legs, and then looked down; I had forgotten that I was on top of him. "No, no stay where you're at I don't mind at all~" he said with a snicker. I suddenly ACTUALLY realized this and quickly scurried off of him. I felt my cheeks get a little hot. "Aww see now you look cute!" he pointed and chuckled. I simply grinned at him.

"Please, just kill me already, stop taunting me." I said, my gaze was on the floor between my legs. I looked up to the moon, it was a quarter moon, but it was a sigh to see, after all that happened. "Please…reunite me with blaze already…" I closed my eyes, and felt one tear slowly trickle down my cheek. I smiled and tilted my head up toward the night sky. "Silver will find you, he will show no mercy, before you die, ill him that he was a great friend, him and Alice, and Blaze while she was here…" I felt more tears fall from my face. I don't care anymore. I lived a good life, met great people, and did my very best of riding this world of vampires as much as I could

xXx

I sighed out loud. Well damn. Their goes all my fun. I looked at her and heard what she had to say. I smiled; she sounded the same way Blaze did when… I closed my eyes, no wonder they were friends. Her words sounded so pitiful I almost giggled out loud. I wish I could tell her everything, but I couldn't. But I could say "She's not dead you know…" her eyes shot open, back to life, she turned to look at me, her eyes where pink and tears still present on her face. "Wha-"she began, but I cut her off with my hand raised. "You may be a vampire hunter, but you know nothing about me, or my kind. I specifically don't kill people. I don't like doing it. Your friend was no exception." I didn't even get much time to continue when she interrupted.

"Then where is she?! What happened to her?" she asked wiping the tears from her face.

I smiled softly at her and lowered my eyes. "I don't know, but I'm sure you and your friends will see her again. You guys meant a lot to her." I got up, my hands were fully healed up, I proceeded to stretch my fingers and watched them move, I sighed and picked up her hand to help her up, even without her permission. "We should do this more often" I let go of her arm and winked. She looked puzzled. "Talk to you latter Ms. Rose. " I said as I did a two finger salute before I sped of toward the forest, throwing something behind me before I left.

xXx

I watched him leave, speeding off in to the distance, when I felt something hit my head, it was my keys. I shook my head to get out of my trance. Who was this sonic guy? I couldn't believe what just happened. I walked over to my hammer. I didn't even bother with my broken stake. I rubbed my head. Wow I don't know what to do, this was just so strange. Why did he just want to talk? And why does he still want too? Does he know Blaze, or where she is? I sighed. Today was a long day, and what I needed was a shower. I walked over to my bike and mounted it. Time to get out of here at last

If this taught me anything, is that I have to keep training. I wasn't strong enough to kill him, I have to do better. I started to drive off. Then I remember that I needed to send in my report, I'll do it while I drive I guess, two birds with one stone right? I pulled out my phone and placed it on the holder on my bike and started both the bike and phone. I dialed Dr. Egg man, and in a few seconds cosmos picked up. "Hello Ms. Rose! How did your mission go? Would you like to give your report?" Hehe, he called me that. I blinked and looked down to my phone and nodded. "Suspect 421 was indeed a vampire. Rank 1. Difficulty 1. About 2' 2", maybe 20 lb? Honey bee. And very talkative." I laughed at the last part. She smiled at me. "Alright then, is that all? You seem a little on edge; you're usually perky after a taking down a rank 1. Something wrong?" She looked at me with concern. I smiled and laughed awkwardly "Haha nothing's wrong, I'll see you in a few hours, alright?" she smiled and nodded as I ended the call.

I took a deep breath, and out. Now that that's done, I can go home. My home was closer than the office, I might was well go their first if I figure out how to get there. I forced myself to think of these mediocre thoughts rather than who was that hedgehog, with the beautiful emerald green eyes.

Yes eggman is Amy's and Cosmos's boss, he's not a bad guy. Hope you guys like this new chapter!
