The next morning, the black hedgehog started to regain continence ness. He slowly opened his eyes, when he realized the room was still dark he sighed in relive. He started to sit up, when he got about half way up he realized his head was intense pain. "Uh…. Was I hit with a brick…" he said to himself.
Amy herd something making noise in her bedroom, she stopped with her small chore of sweeping the few rooms she had in her house to see what was going on. She peeked her head in a little and saw the black hedgehog in her room, still in her bed just sitting up and looking around, for what she didn't know.
She smiled, 'Good I didn't kill him…' she thought. She slowly walked in. Instantly the black hedgehog turned toward her. "Who are you?" he asked, his voice was deeper then she thought and it seemed to have an unusual sound in it she wasn't sure of.
"I am Amy Rose." She said smiling. She walked in all the way and headed towards the window, "Who are you?" she asked, his deep red eyes fixed on her.
"Just call me Shadow." He said, glare stayed on her the whole time. He thought for a moment and looked at the window for only a few seconds, and then his glare returned to Amy. "What time is it?" he asked.
Amy smiled a little more so now he could see it, 'What is so amusing to this mortal?' he thought. She reached up to a string that hung down from her window, "It's 10 o'clock." She said.
"Ten in the morning or ten in the evening?" he asked suddenly, he watched her hand that held the string.
Amy tilted her head a little, "Why its 10 in the morning." She said she pulled on the string and the curtain opened, showing the outside. It was bright, no clouds to cover the sun and an overall perfect day, for a mortal. The sunlight streamed and hit Shadow covering most of him, he lifted his hands to his face and almost instantly he disappeared and hid under her bed.
Amy looked at him, she knelt down on her knees and looked under her bed, "Are you ok?" she asked, the sunlight now was under some of the bed. Shadow shot his head out from under the bed along with about half of his body. "STAY BACK YOU MORTAL FOOL!" he yelled, he quickly covered his mouth to hide his fangs and hid under the bed again, "I mean BEWARE!" he shouted from under the bad.
Amy backed away and stood up, "Great I have a psychotic hedgehog under my bed." She said to herself. She looked at the window, "You know I COULD close that." She said pointing to it.
Nothing was said Shadow was thinking clearly, he looked at her his red eyes the only thing you could see of him, "Yes do that." He said.
Amy reached up and grabbed the string again, "Ok…." She said, she pulled it and the dark blue curtains closed again, the room returned to its state of darkness, the kind Shadow was used to. He slowly came out of the bed and looked at Amy who was still holding the string, she just looked at him and tightened her hand, he took a step back and looked at her hand, waiting.
She yanked on the string so the curtains came flying open. Shadow immediately ran and hid under the safety of under the bed were it was dark.
Amy let go of the handle and knelt down again, she lifted up the bed sheet slightly so she could see his red eyes, "Are you ok?" she asked.
"I am fine I just have…..sun-a-solar-phobia …." He said slowly like he was making it up as he went along. He had his hand over his mouth the whole time she looked at her so she couldn't see his fangs.
Amy just starred at him, "Sunasolorphobia?" she asked saying it faster then he did.
"Yes." He said looking at her watching to see what she would do.
She sat back on her knees ad put her hands on her waist. She just sat there and waited for a little. When Shadow didn't say anything she sighed, "Well are you coming out or am I going to have to go under there and get you?" she asked.
Shadow was a little shocked at what she said… would she really do that? He wondered, he didn't want to chance going into the sunlight, "I am not coming out." He said his mind made up.
Amy sighed and got on her stomach, "What are you doing?" he asked backing away slowly.
Amy started to slide under the bed, "Well clearly you aren't coming out, and I can't have a crazy hedgehog under my bed." She said, her voice sounded like she was annoyed. As she got uncomfortably closer to Shadow he inched away, the bed wasn't big and wasn't made for two people, or hedgehogs, to be on or under it. Amy was now about a few inches from touching his black fur, he scooted further back but if he went any further he would go into the sunlight. Amy just looked at him, "Well are you coming out YET!" she asked getting, more annoyed.
Shadow thought for a moment, mortals like her were almost as bad as the sun to him. He thought for a moment and looked around her room for another place to hide from the sunlight. He saw a door and ran out and opened the door and went inside the dark room. He was in her closet now, it was small but dark.
Amy sighed, 'At least he isn't under my furniture anymore.' She thought. She got out from under her bed and closed the curtains again. She walked over to her door and crossed her arms.
Shadow seeing no more light from the small crease in the bottom of the door poked his head out a little, he saw no more light and felt relived. His relive ended when he saw Amy standing there annoyed and now somewhat angry. "What are you doing in my closet?" she asked.
Shadow opened his mouth to talk and make an excuse but Amy cut him off with another question, "And what were you doing over my bed last night?" she asked.
Shadow thought for a moment, if he told this mortal who he was she would run off and tell everyone she knew. "I was…… watching you sleep?" he said in a question like tone his hand still over his mouth.
Amy just stared at him, she wasn't buying it. "I was……passing threw." He said this time more sure of himself.
"Threw MY house?" she yelled at him.
"Yes." He said, now Amy's eyes were used to the dark and she could see more then just his red eyes, she looked at his hand covering his mouth. "Why are you covering your mouth?" she asked.
Shadow backed up until he hit the wall with a thump, 'Oh crud…' he thought. He uncovered his mouth and started talking but quickly covered it again, "I'm not covering my mouth." He said.
Amy stepped into the closet, "Yes you are." She said looking at him to make sure she wasn't mistaken.
Shadow had no place to run now, he just stood against the wall, covering his mouth looking like a fool. Amy backed up a little and got out of her closet, 'Great he is psychotic AND stupid.' She thought, not having a clue why he was acting like this. "Well come on out." She said stepping back further.
Shadow got out of the closet his hands now at his sides when his mouth was closed, he watched Amy to make sure she didn't do anything suspicious. Amy walked towards the door, she was going to let him leave her house now, but when she opened her door the sunlight from around her house came in and Shadow hid in the closet again.
Amy shut the door and looked back at him, 'Maybe he isn't lying… maybe he is afraid of the sun…' She thought. She opened the door quickly and walked out and then shut it.
Shadow looked out and seeing no one in the room he walked to the door, 'What is she doing?' he thought, he couldn't let her tell everyone a crazy hedgehog was in her house… but the sunlight stopped him. He just waited for a while listening, and hearing a few noises here and there.
Amy opened the door and fell back a little seeing Shadow right there in her face, Shadow was about to run back from the sun but no sun or light came in. He looked at her suspiciously, "What did you do?" he asked.
Amy stood straight up again, "I closed all the blinds in my house, you are scared of the sun fine, then you will stay here in my now DARK home until night time." She said waving her hand to show her whole house was dark.
Shadow looked at the house, she was right it was all dark, he looked back at her, "Why?" he asked.
"Why what? Let you stay in my house? I can't kick you out in the sun, seeing what you did here you would just run into some random persons house and hide under there bed, no you are staying here." She said.
Shadow couldn't really fight back at that, it was sunny outside and being in the sun could kill him. He stepped out into the hallway and slowly walked around the house making sure everything was dark, when he was satisfied he came back and sat on the chair in Amy's room, he looked at the clock, it was only 11:00 o'clock, it wasn't even the afternoon yet. "So I am stuck here for another 7 hours…" he said watching the clock tick from 11 to 11:01.
Amy walked in, "Ya…. I guess." She looked at the clock, she walked over to him and grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the living room, once they were out of her room she locked the door. "What are you doing?" he said pulling his wrist away.
"Look no offence or anything but I don't want you in my bedroom anymore." She said. Shadow crossed his arms, "Fine." He hissed, he walked over to her living room and sat down on a couch. '7 hours stuck with…this…this mortal' he thought.
Amy walked over to him and sat down on another couch that was as far as him as possible. The two sat in silence, Shadow had his hands folded and his chin rested on them, he being in deep thought. And Amy just watch the crazy hedgehog.
For the next few hours of Amy reading some magazines and Shadow staring at the clock, each occasionally looking up to see if the other was doing anything suspicious. Every thing was complete silence, after a while Amy got up and walked to her kitchen. Shadow didn't move. Amy grabbed a plate and carried it over to Shadow, Shadow could smell something….. something about the food. When Amy held it to his face he opened one eye and when he saw what it was he fell back out of the chair he was in.
"What's wrong it's just garlic bread." She said pointing to it.
"I'm….deathly allergic." he said and covered his mouth again.
Amy put the plate down and put her hands on her hips, "Now come on, first the sun and now GARLIC? What's wrong with you." She asked looking at Shadow, who was now standing up and dusting himself off.
"Nothing." He said calmly.
Amy crossed her arms, "Fine then I will eat it myself." She said taking one and eating it, she pointed to the refrigerator, "You can get yourself something to eat." She said.
"I would but unfortunately I can't eat anything until sun down… and you don't have what I want to eat in their" He said to himself.
"What was that?" Amy asked.
"Nothing." Shadow said again. He sat down and continued to star at the clock.
"You know you COULD talk to me." She said crossing her arms.
Shadow didn't move. "I know." He said harshly.
"Then why aren't you?"
"I have no reason to talk to you."
"WHAT! I let you stay in my house, eat my food and I even help you while you were knocked out and you still wont…" she was cut off by Shadow, "Was it my fault I was knocked out." He said, even thought he knew it WAS his fault for waking her up he made it sound like it wasn't. Amy grew silent, she looked away from him and looked at the wall. "So why were you hovering over my bed anyways?" she asked.
Shadows eyes went blank, he didn't want that topic to come up. "I was……… getting something to eat." He said.
"In my room?" she yelled clearly not taking the truth, he WAS getting something to eat, just not something she expected.
"I was, passing threw." He said as his final answer.
"Sure you were." She said not taking that answer either. .
After that the two were silent for a while more, Shadow stared at the clock tick minute to minute, and Amy just sat still and read her little magazines.
But the silence was broken by the door bell. Shadow looked over at the door and then at Amy, he got up and walked towards the door. Amy got up and ran past him, sorta knocking him over. She went to the door and slightly opened it. "Hello?" she asked. She smiled and opened the door all the way now, Shadow first saw that the sun was finally going down and the other thing he saw made him hide behind a couch…… another hedgehog. This one was blue and had spikes like his own, from what he knew his name was Sonic and he supposedly knew a lot about vampires.
"Hi Sonic." Amy said letting Sonic in. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
Sonic smiled and shrugged, "Just wanted to see what was going on, your house is all dark and I haven't seen you all day long."
'Sonic… he cares about me!' she thought. She walked over to him, "Well…. I was asleep." She said trying to sound convincing. She didn't want Sonic to know she had another person there with her all day long.
"Sleeping? All day?" he asked.
"Well… ya that new thing yesterday made me stay up awful late." She said running the back of her head.
"OH so you watched it? Wasn't it everything I said it would be?" he asked.
'You said it would be fascinating and important.' He thought, "Um… sure." She said smiling.
"Ya you really got to watch out for those vampires," he said walking right past Shadow, "You never know where they will be." He said smiling.
Amy looked at where Shadow was, she nodded.
Sonic kicked the air a little, "Well I just wanted to see you were ok here." He said walking outside, "Bye Amy."
"You're leaving already?" she asked.
"Ya I got to… I gotta…. Go….do something with Knuckles bye!" he said making an excuse, then he ran off.
Amy dropped her arms, he hands now in fists, "Oh… that Sonic can be such a brat." She said angrily.
Shadow got up from his hiding place and walked over to the door and shut it, he stopped behind her, "Then why do you like him?" he asked.
She went red, "What?" she asked.
Shadow just looked at her, "You do like him right." He asked.
She nodded, "Ya Sonic is my boyfriend."
"That's not what I saw…" he said.
Amy stomped on his foot, "YOU TAKE IT BACK MY SONIC LOVES ME!" she yelled at him.
Shadow lifted his foot but didn't scream. He looked at her, his eyes full of rage right now. "Why the hell did you do that!" he yelled forgetting to cover his fangs. Amy saw his fangs and fell back. Shadow instantly covered his mouth again, 'Damn….' He thought (naughty Shadow…)
Amy looked at him, "You're a…a vampire?" she asked, not believing what she was seeing.
Shadow couldn't hide it anymore, he nodded and opened his mouth a little so his teeth were visible. Amy realized why he was in her room last night, if she hadn't of woken up he would have eaten her. "That means that you……" she started but didn't finish, she yelled at the top of her lungs. "VAMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!! HELP THERES A VAMPIRE!!!!!!!"
Shadow stood still, he didn't move. He let her scream a little, "You just made it a whole lot worse for yourself." He said. He ran at her and knocked her over and then caught her. He ran off his jet sneakers making him go faster.
"Let go of me you…" she said kicking and struggling to get free. Shadow just ignored her and kept running, the sun was going down but it wasn't quite there yet. He ran only in the shadows and passed other people but just kept running.
He stopped when they got to the forest, the two were now deep in the forest. He put her down there and she stood up and slapped him on the face, but he caught her hand before she could and threw it to his side causing her to fall a little. She started screaming again, "Go ahead and scream no one can hear you out here." He said harshly.
"What are you going to do with me?" She said holding her wrist.
Shadow sat on a rock and thought for a moment. "The way I see it you have 3 options, one I eat you." He started but Amy cut him off.
"I beg your pardon?" she said putting her hands on her hips.
"You want another explanation? Fine I bite you in the neck and suck your blood until there is nothing left." He said, Amys face went a little pale and she gulped, "Two I tie you to a log and throw you in some river." He said holding up two fingers. "And three, I bite you and you become a vampire." He said flashing up a third finger.
"Do I have another option?" she asked. Shadow shook his head. "Oh…" she said, she looked around then back at Shadow. She started to run into the forest, Shadow stood up and shook his head, he took one jump and tackled her to the ground so he had her pinned. "Let me go!" she yelled at him trying to get free.
"Like I said you have 3 chooses, now choose or I will pick for you! And I have been waiting for a meal all week." He said.
"Why eat me though?" she asked.
"You have see to much, mortals just go off and tell there friends." He said coldly.
"But I wont!" she protested.
"And their terrible liars." He finished. "Now CHOOSE!"
Amy thought for a moment, 'Well choice 2 is out of the question… and 1 is pretty harsh….' She thought, 'What about 3?" she asked not meaning to speak it.
"What about it? I either bite you here and now or I can bite you when you are knocked out." He said growing impatient.
"How do you propose I am knocked out?" she asked.
Shadow smiled evilly, "I need to borrow your hammer…." He started to say.
Amy shook her head, "No, no, no, no, no." she said really fast, "Just bite me and get it over with." She said.
Shadow sighed, he would have to find another meal then. He started to lowered his head to bite her, but before he could get his fangs close to her neck she kicked him in the stomach with on of her free legs. He rolled over and held his side, 'Even if she was a meal she is beginning to become more trouble then she's worth…' he thought. "What was that for?" he asked.
"I'm sorry it was a reflex." She said, she really kicked him for fun just to get pay back for one of the many things he did.
"Sure it was." He said, he got up and looked at her, "Now are you going to have me bite you or what?" he asked.
She stood up, "Fine." She said.
Shadow showed his fangs and she grew nervous, "Wait cant we negotiate?" she asked. Shadow took a step towards her, she covered her neck.
Shadow stood in front of her and moved her hands from her neck and once again lowered his head to bite down on her neck. Right about now the two stood so close that their fur touched each others. Shadows fangs just barley touched her neck and then in one quick move…….. it was over…….. Amys blood trickled down her neck as Shadow lifted his bloody fangs out of the small indents they had created in her neck, and feeling her own blood she passes out and fell onto Shadow nocking him over onto his back...
