Sorry I'm late for updating.

A couple of hours had passed. I must have been deep in thought because the next thing I knew, Tails was repeatedly calling my name.

"Sonic!" he yelled.

That brought me out of my trance and sent me back to reality where the both of us were walking from the arcade.

"What?" I said. "You don't have to scream in my ear! I'm not deaf!"

"I've been trying to talk to you for almost a minute and you never responded," he explained.

"Well, you have my attention now. What is it?"

"I think you cheated on the pinball game."

"Oh, come on, Tails," I said to him. "You're not going to be a sore loser are you?"

Just then, we both heard a horrible scream.

"What was that?" Tails asked.

"That sounded like Amy," I said.

The kid's eyes were now filled with concern.

"Do you think that she's hurt?" he asked me.

"I don't know."

I hope not, I thought.

I grabbed his right hand and sped us both to the location of the scream. After a couple of blocks, we found the exact spot. I screeched my feet to a halt and released Tails's hand. We were both horrified at the sight before us. There was a pink female hedgehog lying on the ground. When I rushed over to look at the hedgehog, I was horrified. It was Amy.

I couldn't believe it! Why was Amy lying on the ground like that? Did somebody attack her? I started to feel regret come over me like a huge storm cloud. I told her I didn't want her hanging out with me and now I had felt terrible for saying that.

I put my hand on her shoulder and shook it, trying to wake her up.

"Amy, are you okay?"

After a couple of seconds, she finally opened her eyes. I was relieved that she was still alive. But when I saw those emerald green eyes of hers, fear struck me like lightning. I just stood there staring at her like I had been turned to stone. Her eyes were now white balls with green circles where I could see nothing but an endless darkness inside them.

Amy stood up and gazed at me with those dark eyes of hers.

"Sonic, You're back! Do you want to do something with me now?"

"Amy, what's wrong with your eyes?" I asked her with a hint of nervousness in my tone.

"What's wrong with my eyes?" She sounded kind of angry with me for saying that. "All of a sudden, you don't think my eyes are pretty? How long how you been staring at the bright lights from those arcade games? You don't think my eyes are pretty, Sonic the Hedgehog?"

"Amy, it's not that. It's just.."

Before I could finish, Amy started to move closer to me. She looked at me with some kind of lust in her shadowy eyes and walked dangerously slow towards me. Now I was completely petrified.

"Amy, what are you doing?"

Just then, she darted towards me at a speed that would almost put me to shame. If I didn't have my speed, I wouldn't have been able to dash out of the way at the last second. There was definitely something wrong with her. I know she was always chasing after me and trying to get close to me, but she would never try to do something like that. Not even if she was having a bad day.

Amy turned back in my direction with the same lustful look in her eyes. I knew she was going to do it again and the look in her eyes and the way she held out her hands in what looked like a strangling position told me she intended to try to kill me.

I turned to back to Tails and said, "Run!"

I dashed in a direction with my little fox buddy close behind me, twirling his tails like a propeller on a helicopter. I never ran away like a coward before, but the darkness in Amy's eyes and that unusual speed of hers had my natural alarm sounding, "danger!" Whatever happened to Amy, was something very unearthly. I was going to find out what happened to her and whoever did do it to her was not going to get away with it!

(Knuckles)

I had lost track of how long I had being running for or how far I had gone. What I had done to Amy was unforgivable! I eventually stopped by a tree and let myself rest on it. The horrible images kept showing up in my head. Amy screaming. Falling. Laying limp on the ground. How would I ever be able to live with myself?

Those thoughts continued to haunt me so much, I couldn't keep my sorrow inside any longer. I could feel tears starting to flood my eyes. As hard as I tried to fight them, my sorrow was too overwhelming. I crossed my arms on the tree and let my head rest on them like they were pillows. Then, I closed my eyes and let the tears in them flow down my muzzle and drip onto the grass below.

You're acting like a child, I scolded myself. You shouldn't be doing that!

But I was too upset to even care. What if Amy was dead? What if drinking all that blood had killed her? Was her breathing a sign that she only had a few minutes to live? Thinking that made my eyes watery again and I let the newly made tears trickle down my face and plummet to the ground.

"Why are you crying?"

When I heard that familiar voice, I turned my head to the right and saw Typhoon standing a few inches away from me with a sympathetic look on his face. When I saw him, I used my hands to wipe away evidence of the tears. Then, I stood in his direction and looked him in the eyes.

"I'm not crying!" I told him scornfully. "What do you want?"

"Well, first of all, this!"

I saw him lift his right arm and the next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground with a throbbing pain in my cheek. I rubbed the sore area to soothe it as I looked up at the dark gray echidna who held up his arm with a clenched fist. Even through that eerie darkness in his eyes, I could see anger in them. I started to feel rage welling up inside me as I stood myself up.

"Why did you hit me?" I asked him with the fury being noticeable in my voice.

"You hit me first. Remember?"

"I didn't have a choice. You wouldn't let me go."

"I told you you were too weak."

Now I had reached the peak of my rage.

"I am not weak!"

I turned away from Typhoon and started to walk away from him. But as soon as I did, that feeling I had before I bit Amy came back.

No, not again! Leave me alone! I said to the feeling like it could understand me.

But it was useless. The thirst I had was too strong. I grabbed the tree with both of my hands and bit into the bark, trying to sink my teeth into it. I wasn't going to let myself attack anybody like I did to Amy. I wouldn't do it.

Typhoon walked up to me and placed his hand on my arm, trying to pull me away from the tree.

"Come with me," he said.

"No!" I told him. "Leave me here!"

Suddenly, Typhoon wrapped his arms around my waist and wrenched me from the tree. Then, he grabbed both of my wrists and held them behind my back like I was a criminal in handcuffs. I struggled to get lose, but he held my wrists tight.

"You're going to act like a child, I'm going to treat you like one," he said to me.

The dark gray echidna let go of my wrists. Then, he wrapped his arms around my waist again before lifting us both off of the ground and into the sky. How was he able to do that? We continued to fly until the woods had disappeared and there was nothing but the bright lights of the city below us. As soon as we were over an alley, Typhoon started to descend from the sky. When we landed, he left me to lay in the corner.

"Stay here," he told me.

Oh, right! Like I was really going to listen to him? I stood up and used the spurs on the back of my hands to climb up the nearby building.

Typhoon was on the sidewalk outside of the alley, looking through the streets for something. After scanning them for a few seconds, he turned back towards the alley and saw me climbing up the building.

"What are you doing?" he asked me.

Trying to get away from you, I thought as I continued to scale the brick structure. Duh!

From out of nowhere, I felt a strange blast of energy surge through my body. I tried to move my arms, but they wouldn't budge. Why couldn't I move? As I wondered about that, Typhoon pulled me from the building and lay me back on the cold, filthy ground below.

"I just paralyzed you," he said to me. "You'll be unable to move for a short while."

He walked out of the alley and back to the sidewalk, to continue scanning for whatever he was looking for. As he left me alone in the dark alley again, I couldn't help thinking about what he said. 'I just paralyzed you.' No echidna could do that! Typhoon was no ordinary echidna. What was he? And why did he keep treating me this way? Was he ever going to let me go? Or was he planning to keep me as a prisoner forever?

For the first time in my life, I felt completely helpless. I was at this other echidna's mercy. I started to wish that I had never awakened him. The excitement of having another echidna on the island had blinded me. What an idiot I was! Now I was some kind of blood-drinking monster that couldn't go out into the sunlight again.

Somebody help me.

The next chapter is going to be more exciting.
