Drifters love

Chapter seven

Sonic felt his entire body began to shake after watching Shadow, the one he really loved drink an innocence woman to death.

'What…what the hell is he..' he questioned as he continued to back away from the horrifying sight.

"Starts out as a simple hallucination, then cannibalism. Some actually have traits that resemble vampires, only drinking their victims blood,"

'no…' tears formed in his emerald eyes, 'he can't be!' he shouted and quickly ran off.

Rouge knew, she was the only one he could ask.

When he made it back to the apartments, he threw opened the doors and dashed down the fleet of stairs that lead to the basement, "Rouge!"

She faced the blue hedgehog, who was breathing heavily, "what is it?" she questioned him.

"It's about Shadow," he panted.

Her eyes widened, afraid for what was coming next.

"I…I think he's…"

"Infected," she finished before him, "I know."

"You knew?"

She nodded and she leaned her body against the wall, "he's been infected for about five, six years. When he was eighteen he was bitten, on the shoulder. Took a clean chunk out of him. That's why he still looks eighteen. When you're bitten you stay in the body you were bitten in."

Sonic was still confused, "but he still looks…I don't know, but he doesn't look like those other things."

She looked away, her eyes narrowed with sadness, "when he was bit, I managed to stop the disease partially."

"How?"

"An anti-virus. When I found out it worked I tried it on someone else, it…killed them."

"Then how did it work on him?"

"Shadow…isn't normal," she answered him, truthfully, "but a dhamphire, half mortal and half vampire."

Sonic's eyes widened. All this time, Shadow was a vampire?! He wasn't sure if he could take in all of this information all at once.

"That's why Shadow can sense the infected mortals. Because he's infected himself. But Shadow's running out of the anti-virus and I'm trying to locate more or else…" she paused, "he'll turn into one of those things," her voice was failing her as tears formed in her eyes, "and I will NOT let him become one of them. Walking around without a soul. That's why I have to try and find a cure, but I'm running out of time."

Sonic nodded.

She took a deep breath and looked at the blue hedgehog, "tell me, do you love Shadow?"

He flinched and quickly looked away, embarrassed.

She giggled, now in a much better mood then earlier, "that's what I thought. Well now," she placed her hands to her hips and winked, "looks like I have myself a little competition. But let me warn before you think to far ahead I wont lose shadow to you or to anybody else."

Sonic quickly faced her, his eyes widened even more with shock and disbelief, 'no way! Did she just issue a challenge to me?' he thought, 'but…there's no way I can win.'

Misty eyes, sensual lips, fair skin, amazing curves. She had it all. Sonic had nothing but cockiness. So how was he going to even win?
