Chapter 4: My Dark Angel
It was a short night. Shadow had gone to sleep a while ago, and Sonic was left to attend to his daily duties. He gave himself a quick cleansing before going to the other angels, with whom he would train with, in preparation just in case the vampires attacked.
'Oh a vampire has attacked all right,' Sonic thought. 'He has attacked my heart.' He wandered almost dreamily into the fairly large training arena. He was snapped back into the real world by his trainer.
"H'attention!" a voice yelled. The voice beloged to a red, well muscled echidna. He threw swords, made solely out of pure light to eack of the angels. Sonic caught one of the swords, and took up a fighting stance.
"C'mon! Get h'all your pampered backs h'up straight! H'all of you will never survive a real battle with your wimpy fighting!" he yelled out at his troops, veins standing out on his neck. 'Yeah, yeah, well clubs for hotheads just called, they want your assent to erect a statue of you to place by their door,' thought Sonic, wondering why he had thought of such a thing, when he hardly understood a word of it.
He snapped back to attention as another angel leaped at him, sword at the ready. He groaned. A green hedgehog with unruly spines, smashed his blade against Sonic's. Sonic parried the attack and used the momentum from his parry to swipe at the other hedgehog, catching him on the tip of the spines.
A faint hissing sounded as the hedgehog spoke. "Heyhey! Watch the spikes bro! I worked on that for like, fifteen whole secs man!" Sonic sighed. Manic, the hedgehog he was dueling went hair crazy since who knows when. 'I can't believe he's my brother,' Sonic thought as he watched Manic rub his singed quills.
"Manic! Sonic! We're here to train, not socialize!" They stood to attention, giving off a salute with their swords as they replied in voices that suggested that they were, in fact, trying not to laugh.
"Yes sir!"
Manic watched as the red echidna turned his back on them and went to yell at another pair. "Woah, Knux sure has his vocals trained! I wonder if he's ever heard of that sickness thingy, y'know, laryngitis." They paused as they saw Knuckles's ears temporarily flicked towards them for a moment. They began to laugh.
Knuckles turned around, looking a rather nice shade of purple. "H'all right! That's it! Grandmistress's h'office! H'on the double!"
"Yes sir!"
They did a quick about face and walked out of the arena, headed for the grandmaster's office. It was only about a minute before they reached it. They rang the service bells by the secretary's desk. Another echidna, with a much gentler facial expression and voice answered to them.
"Yes, boys? May I help you?"
"Grandmistress," they replied in unison. She wrote something onto a piece of paper, then inserted it into a slot fixated into the wall. A moment later, the large cedarwood double doors opened. The two troublemakers stepped in.
"Sonic. Manic. What have you two done this time?" asked a lilac coloured cat. Sitting on a chair made of white marble.
"Grandmistress Blaze," began Manic. "Y'see me'n Sonic here were in a light-sword fighting class, and we were like, apparently talking too much so, like Knux sent us in here for y'know disrespect and stuff."
"Ah. Knuckles. That explains it. I'm sorry boys but you know disrespect isn't taken lightly here so you two are dismissed for the rest of the day."
The two hedgehogs bowed and left the room. Sonic dashed off immediately, heading to his manor. When he got there, he went to see if Shadow was awake. He snuck into the guest room in which Shadow resided. He could see, the other hedgehog was still sleeping.
Sonic sat down on the edge of the bed. Who knew that a vampire could look so peaceful.
'He looks kinda cute,' Sonic thought.
'Wait WHAT?!'
Sonic's hand trailed by Shadow's face, reaching to stroke it. He could feel Shadow shiver under his touch. Shadow's eyes slowly began to open as he murmured.
"Ssso pure..." Sonic's emerald eyes widened. Shadow's eyelids finally lifted to reveal completely red orbs. He was again in the clutches of his demented state. "Shadow slowly sat upright and looked Sonic directly in the eyes.
His hand slowly trailed up to Sonic's cheek, and he drew the other's face to his own. "Pleassse. Allow me to finishhh thisss..." he murmured. He brought his fangs to Sonic's face, and opened his fangs. He could hear a soft plead arise from the other hedgehog.
"Please...Shadow...don't..." His face closed the distance and his lips pressed against that of the other hedgehog. They held it and then broke it. Shadow slowly opened his eyes to reveal that they were back to normal.
They both stared at the ground for a moment. Then Shadow mumbled, "What...was that?"
Sorry for the short chapter, I didn't have enough time.
