"Well. Well. Well." He said walking up behind Shadow. "Pretty pink hedgie is here with some guy Blade doesn't know about. He's not gonna be happy."

"Shut up!" I snapped. I got out of the car and pushed them aside. I started growing pink fur as many times before. Ears and a tail grew. I was a lot shorter now too. Which is another reason I hate changing. I get shorter. My green eyes flashed and became blood red with rage like Shadow's.

"Come on fox." Shadow said amusingly to Joe. "Get out and change back to normal." Joe got out and turned into a fox. His eyes were red too. And I could see the rage growing.

"That's better." Said Jason laughing. "The real forms are much better. I see you're driving Justin's car again."

"Say anything and I will kill you!" I said inches away from him.

"Just how I like it. You right here in my reach." I moved away as quickly as I could. Which wasn't quick enough in this case. He grabbed me and lifted me up so I was level with his eyes. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Away from you perv!" I said hissing at him. Joe looked at me with sympathetic eyes.

"Let her go Jason." Said Shadow seemingly bored. Jason let me go and I fell to the ground, literally. I hit the ground and fell on my ass. Joe helped me up. I looked at him thankfully then turned my gaze to Shadow and Jason. My eyes filled with hatred that Shadow noticed. "Come on Jason. Lets go tell Blade what we found." They walked away slowly, and then they ran.

"Finally. They're gone." I said looking at the ground with my arms crossed.

"Why didn't you tell me you were a hedgehog?" he asked.

"Not really the first thing I tell a guy." I said smiling. "Why didn't you tell me you were a fox?"

"I let people figure it out. So why were they after you? And who's Blade?"

"Well. Shadow is my best friend Lilly's boyfriend. And Jason is my brother's best friend. Blade. Well let's just say you'll find out soon enough." I got back in the car and so did he. We drove off.

"Where to?" he asked looking ahead.

"I don't know." I said looking out the window.

"Is he…you're boyfriend? Blade, I mean." he asked. I looked at him.

"Yes." My voice was nervous. "But that's not all."

"What else?"

"He's a cannibal. He's eaten everyone who's hurt me besides, Shadow, Lilly, Justin and Jason. But he's coming close to eating Jason. And if he finds out that you're my friend it might be goodbye."

"He can't be that bad."

"He threatened to eat me Joe!"

"Ok. Then he is that bad."

"Listen. He ate my ex boyfriend Thorne because he accidentally punched me in the face. He was trying to punch my friend Ty and I got in the way on purpose."

"Why'd he want to punch Ty?"

"Cause I told him that I liked Ty more than him." I said quietly.

"Oh. Ok." I looked down at the floor. I couldn't say any more. I loved Blade with all my heart but he was just too protective. And I couldn't stand it anymore that I couldn't have guy friends. It was dark by the time we reached a town. We had to find somewhere to stay. As we drove around I recognized the place. This is where Flame lived. He was a friend of Justin's. I told Joe where to go and we pulled up in front of a house that looked abandoned."You sure he lives here?" Joe asked me as we got out of the car. "Doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while."

"I'm positive." I walked up and knocked on the door. No answer. As usual. I brushed the door off and said a few words. The door opened automatically and I motioned for Joe to follow as I went in."Llama." I said using his language. Joe looked confused. "Spanish." I told him. He nodded as a red hedgehog came over to us.
