Sonic looked back down at his textbook and sighed. He looked around the room. Mr. Livingston sat reading something on his laptop. Tails poked his arm with a pencil.

"Sonic, don't you have your book?" He whispered.

Sonic shook his head.

"Maybe he'll let you borrow one from the library-"

"No talking to each other!" The lion said from the desk.

"He doesn't have a book." Tails replied.

"Then he can put his head down. This is detention."

Sonic put his head down on his desk. Tails went back to studying by himself.

Blaze sat with a fireball in her hands. She stared at it intently, playing with it in her hands like it was a toy.

Ky sat with his spiral notebook open staring at a page of scribble that was supposed to be on settlements. He squinted at the page, trying to figure out what he had written. After a few minutes he sat back in his chair and ripped a piece of paper out of the notebook. He wrote something on it and threw it at his sister. The paper ball sailed toward the snow leopard.

"What?" Kris said in a harsh whisper when the paper ball bounced off of her head. She moved it closer to her with her foot, bent down and picked it up. She looked at Ky and down at the paper she was holding and opened it up.

I dare you to go get your stuffed animal back.

Kris wrote back underneath the message and threw it back.

He'll give it back.

Ky wrote under that and sent it forward.

What if he doesn't?

Kris glared at Ky and then looked at her stuffed dragon on the desk. She crumpled the paper up and got up to throw it away. Mr. Livingston lifted his head from his computer as she walked to the trash can and gave her a suspicious look.

"I'm just throwing this away." She told him. Kris quickly threw the paper ball away and flew back to her desk.

"Just go do it." Ky whispered.

Kris growled at him and turned back. She took a deep breath.

"Hey you guys. Look at this." Ky whispered to the others.

Sonic and the others looked over to where Kris was. She didn't move.

"Com'on, Shadow's already pissed at you enough. Just do it."

Kris looked back at him and walked over to him.

"You are such a goody-two-shoes I swear-"

Kris stomped as hard as she could down on Ky's foot.

"YEOOWWCH! WHY YOU LITTLE!" Ky yelled at the top of his lungs.

Mr. Livingston got up and marched over to the siblings.

"What is going on here?!" He asked as he looked down at them.

"She- She stomped on my foot!" Ky answered as he held his hurt foot in his hands.

The Lion looked over to where Kris was but she had vanished.

"Where did she go?" He asked.

"How the Hell should I know?" Ky answered. Mr. Livingston glared at him.

Mr. Livingston sighed and walked over to the phone on the wall and called Shadow's other room.


"Hello?" Shadow said when he got on the line.

"It seems one of your students has fled." Mr. Livingston replied.

"Why?" Shadow asked.

"I don't know. She hurt another student and disappeared."

Shadow sighed. "I think I know who it might be. I'll go find her." He hung up.

"I have to step out for a bit." He told the kids that were there for tutoring. "Behave for the assistant while I'm gone." Shadow nodded to the other tutor that was in the room and left.


Kris angrily walked around while invisible in the hallway. She paced back and forth. Shadow searched the hallways as a bat.

"Why did I do that?" Kris asked herself. "Ky just- He just-"

Ky suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I just what?" He asked.

Tails and Sonic came running around the corner.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Tails asked.

Shadow heard their voices and came flying in from the other side of the hall. He changed back as soon as the kids had time to notice him.

"You're in deep trouble." Shadow said darkly. He grabbed Kris by her shirt collar and started to walk away.

"Shadow what are you doing?" Sonic yanked Kris from him.

"Taking her back to the room where you all are supposed to be!" Shadow shouted. His eyes started to glow and his fangs started get longer. "I'm trying to be nice."

"Is this what you call nice?!" Sonic growled.

Shadow breathed heavily.

"As nice as I can be when I'm on the end of my rope with you kids. I suggest you all get back to the room or else." He said through clenched teeth.

"Or else what?" Ky asked with a smirk on his face.

Shadow hissed loudly; scaring everyone.

"Okay, Okay we'll go back." Ky said holding out his hands.


When everyone got back to the room Shadow didn't leave.

"I'm staying here. In the back of my mind I knew it wasn't a good idea to let someone else monitor my detention sessions."

Shadow sat at his desk. "All of you! Sit up straight and face forward for the rest of detention!" He shouted.

Everyone obeyed and did not dare slouch as Shadow's angry blood red eyes scanned the room every once in a while. Sonic raised his hand after a while.

"Can I go to the restroo-"

"No."

"But I really have to-"

"No!"


For the rest of the afternoon those in trouble were to stay seated no matter what until the angry vampire let them go.

"Nice job Kristina. Now he's even madder at us…" Ky grumbled as they left the school.

"…Well maybe you shouldn't hav-"Sonic started.

"IT'S NOT MY FAULT!" Ky shouted. "She shouldn't have brought the damned thing in the first place."

"He gave it back. I told you but you didn't listen." Kris said sadly as she walked behind them.

"You need to learn how to take a joke." Ky sighed. "Either way we're screwed. He's probably going to fail us out of spite, or make the test impossible to pass and everyone's gonna be mad at us because they failed."

Amy jogged up to them.

"Hey guys, how was it?" Amy saw the gloomy look on everyone's faces. "What happened?" She asked.

"Amy this is not a good time." Sonic walked to Tails' house and waited for him.

The group slowly broke off leaving Amy standing on the sidewalk alone.
