the vampire and the werehog 2: chapter 3
Shadow's POV
I crouched and held my hand against my head. I tried to get rid of the dizziness clouding my mind so i could return home, but it kept pestering me. "Shadow? what's wrong?" I heard someone ask. I looked up and saw my father standing over me. He went to his knees in front of me and laid a hand on my shoulder. "i'm fine, i just drank from a drunk." I said and tried to get back up. "so technically, you're drunk now." My father said and held me up. "yes...and it's getting worse by the second." I sighed. "i'll help you back home so you can get some rest." He said and swung my arm over his shoulder so he could keep me up. "you should praise yourself lucky that you won't be having a hangover tomorrow night like mortals ussually get." He said and walked out of the alley.
Sonic's POV
I was awoken in the middle of the night by stumbling and curses downstairs. I got up from the ground, since my heavy werehog form would break the bed if i were to sleep on it at night, and made my way down in the upper hallway. Schoolgirlish giggling and nonsense was heard in the hallway. 'what the...' I thought and looked down the stairs. James was trying to keep his only 'living' relative from falling over and in the meantime tried to get Shadow's trenchcoat of off him. I couldn't help, but raise an eyebrow at Shadow weird behaviour. I walked down the stairs with heavy foosteps. The stair steps of this old house creaking beneath the weight of my bulky werehog form.
James looked up to me as he heard my not-unnoticeable steps. "hey, gimme a hand here and help your mate into bed. he needs to rest." He said. "rest? aw why? i'm not tired yet, daddy. can't i stay up for a little while longer? pretty please?" My mate, Shadow, said with a silly grin and giggled. I looked at the father of my mate and all he did was sigh. He knew he owned me an explanation. "i'll explain later." He said and let Shadow go, making him fall right into my muscled arms. "hi, Sonikku! gimme a hug!" He yelled and giggled. I'm surprised none of the kids have awoken yet.
After a while we had finally gotten Shadow into bed. The good thing was, he was about to fall asleep. The bad thing was, he was still giggling and blabbing out nonsense. "care to explain what happend?" I asked in rough and deep voice. "what happened is that Shadow was hunting and his thrist for blood had made him drink the blood from a drunk. and the alcohol in the drunk's blood made Shadow drunk. It's like a vampire drinking alcohol and getting drunk like a mortal." James explained. I looked at the door leading to our bedroom and heard Shadow's continues rambling. "but, misses fairy i don't wanna go to the rainbows and unicorns! i wanna go to ponyland!" We could both hear him say. "are you sure that guy Shadow killed wasn't high?" I asked and James shrugged. Might be." He muttered and made his way over to the guestroom. Letting me take care for my drunk/ high mate.
I walked into the room once it was quiet and saw that Shadow had fallen asleep. I sighed in content and sat down on my hind legs on the floor. I chuckled softly as i thought about how Shadow would react if i or his father would tell him all of this when he woke up in at dusk. His pride would be scarred forever.
