THE DEMONS CHAOS.

CHAPTER ONE…. FROM RICHES TO RAGS…

Our world is not as it always seemed to be for me. When I was growing up, I was always surrounded by everything I could ever need or want. I was raised with discipline, grace, and beauty. Always taught to mind my manners and more. I was one of the many rich girls in the city of New Retro Raze City. It was an era I had always thought to be perfect. With perfect people. Perfect family's, and more. It was an era I only knew to be true. That was till one day everything was turned upside down on me. You see, back then I only knew there were three types of people. The higher class, such as Queen's, Kings, Dukes and such. Those who were rich beyond imagination. The middle class who, such as Earls and Countesses and such, though somewhat rich were below the higher class, so as such the lesser people. Then we have the lower class of people. Those who have to struggle to get by, to live off the lands and streets just to make a living. The COMMON folk if you would. Those who are even far lower than the middle class and that is what I knew. I never knew there to be "MONSTERS'' if you would, outside out gates that surrounded the city. I only knew of what I was told to protect me.

I was but a little girl when everything changed for me. I was maybe about three years old when things changed for me. I remember it well of all that happened to me as a little girl. I was prized by my family who loved me so much. For I was an only girl back then because mother said to me when I asked for a little brother or sister that she could not have any more kids. That I was her lucky little star, and as such I would forever be her only. At the time I didn't understand, but I do now. But I knew she was told that she couldn't bear any more children, I would oftentimes hear her crying and telling daddy how she wished she could give me a little brother or sister. He wished she could to he wanted to be a father to a son so badly and in truth I really wanted a brother.

You see, unlike most of the other rich family's we were a kind sort, always helping those in need when they needed it. If one could say, we're the ones that all but RULED New Raze City, sort of like how a king or queen would rule a country or something of the like. So it was just before my third birthday that my mom and dad told me they were adopting a little baby hedgehog named Cloud. I didn't know what that word meant, Adopting, but they told me since mommy couldn't have kids and give me a brother or sister I really wanted, they would be taking in someone else's child they themselves couldn't take care of no more. It saddens me that someone would do such a thing, even though I didn't understand at the time. So they took me with them so I could meet him and the moment I laid my eyes on his tiny silvery form I was in love. I told myself I would do anything to keep him happy and safe. I told mom and dad this and said I would do everything to keep him safe no matter what, saying I would be the best big sister I could be.

For the next year we had Cloud things were so good. I finally had a baby brother even though he wasn't of my family's bloodline I didn't care. I helped out in every way I could. Then one day things changed. New Retro Raze City was attacked. Marauders came and took down the south wall. The weakest of the walls. They came flooding in by the hundreds. It looked like it would never stop. They didn't come alone though. They brought other men with them. Bad men called Slavers. People who took and kidnapped young eligible men and women, even young children and teens and sold them on the slave market. I was three when this all happened, and Cloud was only two, still just a baby. We both were really. I remember my mother and father trying to take us someplace safe. I remember the yelling, screaming and the crying of kids like me, even teenagers, wondering where their families were at. If they were OK or not. Or worse. I remember my mother and father taking us to the Lockwood's home, on the way there we were ambushed by a few Marauders and Slavers.

But lucky for us Mr. Lockwood and his wife, our Godparents, came out of nowhere and attacked them. Mrs. Lockwood took hold of Silver in her arms as Mr. Lockwood took a hold of me as my mom and dad ran alongside of us. We managed to make it to their estate but soon as we enter I notices we had lost my mother along the way. I remember crying out for her as did Cloud. My father asked the Lockwood's to watch over us as he went looking for her, saying if anything should happen to him they where to take care of them for now on. He nodded as he led his wife and us down to a hidden bunker and managed just in time to close the door up as we heard someone bursting into their home, braking and taking anything they wanted. It felt like EONS till everything went quiet. I remember Mr. Lockwood, or as I like to call him at the time Papa Reggie, putting a finger to his lips telling us to keep quiet. We nodded and he opened the bunker doors, and what we saw was hell. Pure living hell. There was no other way to describe it.

It was then Cloud made a sound crying, scaring all three of us. It surprised us that he had stayed quite that long. We see Mr. Lockwood's home, or what was left of it, in nothing but ashes and burnt beams. It was all gone. We carefully walk around the mess and out to the streets. There were only but a few people left still standing. Papa Reggie saw someone he knew and ran over to them to talk with him why Mama Gigi kept us close. When he comes back he tells her what happened. It was then we went looking for my parents. When we found them it was too late. Reggie stops his wife and me from seeing the dead bodies by blocking our view but it was too late. I had seen them and I went running over to them. Their bodies were covered in blood and deep gashes. A sword was sticking out of my fathers back as he laid over my mothers body who had a deep gash in her neck. There were other wounds on her and him as well. Next to them were the bodies of men I didn't know, I soon learned they were some of the bodies of the bad men who attacked my home. Mama Gigi and Papa Reggie took me and my baby brother from the site and we looked around for anything useful. I remember Mama Gigi crying for my mother and father that day as we fled the city, my home. They took us to their Seaside home where they took care of us as their own children.

For four years they took good care of us, and our lives started to look up again. Or so I thought. Then in the middle of the night, just like before, they came again. They invaded our new home, this time coming in by sea. It was at this time I was six and my brother five. Our new parents, mama Gigi and papa Reggie were gone and had left us with the someone they knew. It was with these people who betrayed our new family. When the Marauders and Slavers came they once again burned and plundered everything in site, why the Slavers rounded every eligible child, or teen or even young man, woman and child. The people we stayed with LET the Slavers take us away as he was handed a bag of gold. It was from there our lives went from Riches to rags. But it was only a start.

As we were thrown into a cage with other kids, Cloud stayed close to me like glue holding onto me as he cried. I wanted to but I knew I had to stay strong for Cloud and the other kids. There were a couple older kids in the cage with us, one next to me was maybe just a few years older, he looked to be maybe ten. there was another much older boy as well I knew all too well. He looked at me as he held onto two other kids at his side who were crying as well. The one holding on to them was a wolf who was 14 years old. I remember calling out to him by his name, Gadget. The ones he was holding were the twins, Mica and Micha two of my best friends. At once I go over to him with Cloud and sit in his lap as we huddle with us as Cloud Cried. I was scared, so scared but I knew I was safe with Gadget. I knew he would keep us all safe if he could….

There comes a knock on a door and a deep yet soft voice as well.

"Kitten it is nearing bed time now. Please my dear, finish what you're doing and come to bed."

A girl of 17 looks up at a small clock that was on her desk as it softly chimes 9pm. Sighing out she looks to the door as it opens and the one speaking to her walks in.

Please Master Shadow, can't I have one more hour to finish my writing.

You know the rules, Kitten. Now hurry up.

Yes but…

Shadow growls out low, in a near deadly tone. It frightened the girl some but she lowered her ears and looked away from him, showing her submissiveness as she shook. He walks into her room and stands a couple feet from her with his arms crossed and a slightly annoyed look on his face.

MUST I remind you of your place yet again Kitten.

N-No Master Shadow. Please forgive me.

Sighing out, he walks over to the girl as she sits there with her hands in her lap. He lifts her chin up and his way to make her look at him, but she keeps her eyes turned from him. He was a handsome man to say the least. A pure ebony black hedgehog with crimson strips on his hair, arms and legs, and marks around his eyes. He had a patch of white fur on his chest that could be seen just peeking out of his shirt. His fangs showed in the firelight and glistened, he licked his lips as his crimson eyes glowed for a moment as he looked down on her.

Do not avert your eyes to me Kitten. Look at me now, I will not ask again.

He tells her in a stern voice. Hesitantly, she moved her eyes to him. She was shaking like a leaf in the winds of autumn. Tears pricked the corner of her eyes as she looked up into his blood crimson eyes.

Good, now what did I say?

T-T-That i-it was almost…

She swallows before going on.

That it was almost...t-t-time for bed Master Shadow.

Good. Now I'm going to go collect my brother Scourge, and when I come back I want you ready for bed. Do you understand me?

Y-yes Master Shadow. But if I may?

Yes kitten?

I-I-I'm sorry for upsetting you. I shouldn't have done that with the blood moon nearing. I should know better now after being in your care for half a year now, and for that I am sorry.

He looks down at her and sighs, he takes her hands he helps her stand up and places her hands on his chest and holds her close. She looks up at him then away letting her ears stay flat against her head.

Oh my sweet little kitten, I should be sorry for growling at you.

He starts to tell her as he softly brushes the side of her face with a gentle caress of his hand and trails it down to her neck and softly rubs it. She swallows again slightly shaking as he averts his eyes to the side of her neck and leans down and licks in between her collar bone and up to the base of her throat causing a whimper from her as her eyes flutter for a moment. He moves his hands to her shoulders and slides the shoulders to her baby doll sheer nightgown off her shoulders and starts to lick the left side of her neck.

M-M-Master Sh-Sh-Shadow…..p-p-please...oh…

Please what my pet?

I-I….

He keeps licking her as his hands go lower lifting up her nightgown and to the base of her tail. She lets out a soft little gasp as he feels him grip her ass and squeezes it, making her arch her back and reveal her neck more to him as she leans it back, grabbing a bunch of his shirt as she did so. He chuckles softly out and leans in softly placing a kiss on it, his fangs just barely grazing her skin.

Oh your scent is driving me wild my sweet little kitten. Every three months as the blood moon comes closer I just wish to take you and turn you into the very thing you fear yet adore so much. Your scent is so sweet and intoxicating. Like wild sun kiss berries. Oh how I love it so.

He tells her as his warm breath at her neck sends shivers throughout her body as she feels him slipping a hand down her panties to better grip her left butt cheek. She could feel his claws digging into her as he does forcing a little mewl out of her.

Oh my my sweet little tropical sunset.

Before she knew it she felt just the slightest of pain in the side of her neck and then the gentle sucking of his as he fed from her. She digs her nails into his shirt front as she holds still, knowing if she tried to force her way free it would end up hurting badly, so she held still and let him feed off her. He feels her submitting as he takes his chance and lifting her up with his right arm still under her ass. He keeps his left hand at the back of her neck as she holds on as he carries her to her bed. Once there he removes his fangs from her, letting the blood run down her neck. She had a sort of hypnotic look on her face as she looked up at him. He smiles at her as he lays her down on the bed.

He stands over her as he takes off his shirt revealing his bare chest. She blushes and swallows as she looks away. One would think she would be used to this by now, but even still it amazed her how well toned and chiseled his body was, even for a Vampire Prince such as himself. He had scars on his body that only deepened his dreamy looks for the girl. She looks back up at him as she feels the weight of the bed shift as he sits over her smiling down at her. Her beautiful Sectoral Heterochromia eyes looked back at his. He had once told her that he loved her eyes when they first started to connect. He told her that her right one reminded her of the evening skies just as the sun was setting, and her left one reminded him of a tropical sunset. He said they were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

She lays there as he places a hand on her cheek caressing it, she leans into it nuzzling it as she looks up at him. He leans down and licks at the drying blood that was on her neck and once more he pierces her neck to feed a bit more as he trails his right hand down her body and slips it into her panties once more and starts to rub at her clitoris making her gasp out and arch her back once more and grabs a hold of the blanket at her side. She tries to hold still but he always had a way of making her want to wiggle about in pleasure. But she held still. She remembers her first time when she pulled back and the horrid pain it caused her for days, even after he had licked the wound close. He soon finishes and once done he licks the bite marks closed and kisses the spot. From there he stays over her as he moves his finger down lower and enters her.

She gaps and cries out as she feels him slipping two of his fingers into her.

M-M-Master Shadow...Nya….

She lays there panting as he moves his fingers in and out of her. It always felt so incredible when he did this to her. He chuckles out softly as he kisses at her neck softly moving his way down to her collar bone and lower still. He makes it to the strings that held close her baby doll nightgown and he takes his free hand and pulls at the string untying it letting it fall open and reveals her perfect DD sized breast to him.

He smiles at her and leans in for a kiss. As they kiss he takes hold of her left breast and fondles it, pinches her nipple and makes it hard and makes her gasp out. He breaks the kiss, chuckling softly at her as he leaves trails of kisses down her neck working his way down to her breast he was playing with. Once there he takes a hold of it and starts sucking and gentle pulling at it as he fingers even deeper. She pants out moaning and letting little mewls escape her mouth as he has his way with her. But if he kept this up it wouldn't be much longer till she would end up Cumming.

M-M-Master Sh-Shadow….please….s-stop...if...if you keep...doing that...I-I-I'll...oh Chaos...harder please…..

She pants out as he looks up letting her breast go and chuckles at her.

What was that my dear?

He pressed deeper into her, hitting her sweet spot making her cry out in pure bliss and arching her back so far she had lifted her ass up off the bed, but it fell back down just as fast.

You like that do you?

She mewls out as he keeps abusing her sweet spot letting the fire burn deeper in her, and letting her juices flow out of her soaking her panties and his hand.

Tell me how much you want it Kitten.

M-M-Master….Sh-Sh-Shadow….p-p-please...more….I...I...oh CHAOS….please…..let me….cum….I beg of you….

Chuckling out he leans back down and kisses her. As he sits back up he goes a bit harder in her abusing her sweet spot to the point of no return.

Yes...yes...OH CHAOS YES...MASTER SHADOW PLEASE….I-I-I'M ABOUT...THERE…

Just as it felt like she was about to explode he removes his fingers out of her at the last minute and removes his hand from her panties as brings his soaked fingers close to his face. The girl lays there panting as she looks up at him.

My, my, my. It looks like someone was overly eager tonight. Look at how much is on my fingers right now, and you've yet to cum.

All the girl could do is look at him with a pout as she lays there panting. She hated when he did that to her, she didn't care if he was her Owner or not. She still hated it. He looks over at her and softly chuckles.

Oh don't go getting all upset my pet. I'll satisfy you yet. You know I like it when we come together, and right now after that little stunt, and the juices on my fingers made me more than hard.

He tells her as he licks the juices off his fingers closing his eyes as he savors the taste of her juices.

Oh, so sweet, just like the sun kissed wild berries. So sweet and delicious.

M-M-Master please….don't say such things….

Why not? I am only saying what is true. But now let's see just how wet I really got you shall we?

He leans down and kisses her, and once again he starts to leave a trail of kisses down her soft silky furred body working his way down. Kissing and sucking at her breasts as he does making her purr out. As he gets lower still he finally makes it to her panties and he takes a hold of them and pulls them down, her juices leaving a trail as he removes them.

Oh my… I must have really made you wet tonight my pet. Unless there is something more going on I do not know about?

He looks at her softly smiling. She looks back blushing till she looks away and starts to pout saying.

No…

In the most cutest way she could without meaning to. He chuckles at her as he tosses her panties to the side.

You sure about that?

She nods at him as he looks down at her flowing juices. He tilts his head just a bit and inhales her scent. Humming out in curiosity he lowers his face down to her lower regions and he spreads her legs open more. He inhales once more, this time deeply to where he closes his eyes and at once they snap back open as a look of surprise shows on his face as he licks his lips in lust. A smile crosses his face as he looks at her softly.

I see now.

Master Shadow?

He gets up off the bed and takes off his pants and boxer, revealing his cock to her. She blushes bright red and looks away. His cock was at least nine inches long and about eight inches or so round. It was slightly curved and had ridges and spines on the side and tip of it. It reminded her of an ex Master she once had who has a similar cock, that would force her into foreplay all the time when she was only 11.

Tonight is special indeed. Not only is it the eve of the blood moon but also your first heat.

WHAT!?

She sits up in shock just as he sits over her. She closes her legs up as she holds her hands to her chest and looks away in shame. Her ears fall back as tears threaten to spill over. This goes unnoticed by Shadow.

What's the matter my sweet little Kitten?

I...I...well….I thought that….

Kitten?

He says in a soft yet stern and gentle voice. Sighing out she drops her arms and holds herself.

I'm...I'm scared Master. T-this w-w-will be my first time and all, a-a-and with you...since you bought me months ago, and I'm scared. We only ever foreplay up till now.

The tears that were threatening to fall finally do. She holds herself closer as she shakes like a leaf as she closes her eyes. He reaches up and softly caresses her cheek. She shies away in slight fear. He stops and removes his hand a bit looking at her.

Oh my sweet little Kitten. You truly are scared aren't you?

She nods as memories come flooding back to her and she couldn't hold back any more. She leans into him burying her face into his chest and grabs a hold of his chest fur as she cries. Sighing out, he wraps his arms around her knowing her past wasn't a good one. He closes his eyes and holds his little kitten close as there comes a knock on the door.

Brother is everything alright? I heard her crying and thought I would look in to see if the girl was alright.

Shadow looks over to the door and sees a deep blue hedgehog with shining emerald green eyes looking at them.

He looks at his pet then back and softly shakes his head.

I see.

He could smell her scent from here, and her soft cries. It was her first heat and she was scared.

Would you like if I got that for her?

Please I think she will need him tonight, and get Amy in here to clean up her bed with fresh bedding.

Sure thing Shadow.

Thanks Sonic.

He nods at him and leaves closing the door behind him as Shadow looks to his Kitten and lifts her chin up so she would look at him.

Eris, my pet look at me.

She does as she is told as she blinks away more tears.

Listen, we will not do it tonight, I know how scared you are right now after everything you have been through. But know when you are ready I will be right here. Alright?

R-r-really Master Shadow? W-we don't have to do….do it tonight?

No we do not. As much as I wish we could I will not force you to do something you do not wish to. I still remember what happened last time I tried forcing you to do something you were not ready for. I will not make the same mistake twice again. Now come, let's get you cleaned up with a fresh bath so that Amy can come in here and freshen up your bedding for tonight.

Nodding at Shadow he takes both his hands and cups her face and gently wipes away her tears from her face and kisses her forehead. He helps her up and walks with her to her bathroom and gets a bath going for her. As he leaves the bathroom there comes a knock on the door and he calls out.

Come in.

Master Shadow I've come to clean your kitten's bed and add fresh bedding for the night.

Thank you Amy. You may come in and proceed.

Bowing she walks in and sets the fresh blankets and sheets down on a nearby chair and goes about removing the dirty blankets and sheets off. As she does that, he heads over to Eris dresser and takes out a clean nightgown much like the one she had on it and some fresh panties and heads back to the bathroom and walks into it. After a few he walks back out and goes over to help Amy.

Master Shadow please let me handle this. It is my job after all.

It's alright I don't mind. Besides we kind of need to hurry Sonic is bringing him up.

Wait you don't mean?…

Before she could finish there comes the thundering of foot falls as Amy rolls her eyes giggling as she hears her true Master's voice.

WHOA Phantom slow down will you!

I think it's too late now.

Right stand back.

Amy nods and does as she is told and within a flash Eris bed was made, and just in time. Eris door goes slamming against the walls knocking over a vase and other things as a massive silver white werewolf runs into the middle of the room wagging his tail as his tongue lolls out the side of his mouth as he sniffs the air. His bright deep sapphire blue looks around for his mistress.

PHANTOM SIT, NOW!

His ears shoot straight up and he sits down. Phantom was unlike most werewolves of his kind. He was forever stuck in his beastal form. The wolf side of him had taken over long ago. His tail was still going a million miles an hour as he sat there. Sighing out he looks to his brother who was thrown face first into the floor.

Ow...every time….every...single time… Geez.

Amy giggles and goes to help him up.

Are you alright Master Sonic?

Yeah I am.

He says rubbing his head.

Tell me again on WHY we keep that damned thing around?

Sonic asks, glaring at Phantom as Phantom turns his head and growls at him.

Because, you know as well as I do that if we let him lose he will likely get killed. Not to say you know how special he is to my pet. Just like how special your pet is to you. Ever since….never mind….listen it's her first heat tonight and she's scared. I won't leave her alone on her own tonight.

Then why don't you stay with her and… well you know?

Because I won't force her into doing something she does not wish to or don't you remember what happened LAST time?

Sonic looks at his brother and sighs folding his arms as his ears fall back.

Right… I forgot. Sorry. Anyway let's go Amy it's getting late and there is a lot to do tomorrow.

Yes Master Sonic.

Amy gathers the dirty bedding and puts into the basket she had brought with her and heads out with Sonic who looks back at his brother one last time till he turns around and leaves closing the door behind him. After he does, Shadow heads back into the bathroom where he sees Eris finishing drying her hair.

Come I'll help dry and brush your hair out tonight Kitten.

D-do you think you could also braid for me? Please Master.

He smiles at her and nods.

But of course my dear. Also I had Sonic bring Phantom up.

As if on cue Phantom pokes his head inside and a goofy grin shows on his face making Eris giggles. She walks out of the bathroom and he follows her as she sits down at her vanity table. Shadow comes over and starts drying her hair and brushing it out. There silent for a time till she speaks.

Master if I may?

Yes my Kitten?

I...I'm sorry about tonight sir. It's just that….it's not like...I'm NOT….ready or anything...it's just…. I don't know….

She sighs out as Phantom rests his chin in her lap as Shadow finally finishes drying out her hair and starts to brush it out. She gently pets his head and he lays there fully content as his tail softly beats against the floor.

You have nothing to be sorry for my little sunset. It is not your fault you are the way you are. Everything was taken from you was young and naïve. It is not your fault you where thrown into a world of slavery and monsters. You knew nothing about anything. It is why I started to let you write your story down. Unlike some of the other slaves around here, you have more privileges then they do. You could just about get away with MURDER and I wouldn't lift a finger to punish you, even though I would in other ways.

He goes on telling her as he starts to braid her hair.

How would you like it tonight?

Fishtail please Master.

Nodding he starts to braid her hair in a fishtail braid as he goes on.

Even though it has been some time now I know you still have lapses, and you're still adjusting to it all. In due time when you're fully sure and ready we will worry about it then. Not before. Now I'm going to be gone for a time, and I'm going to be leaving Mephiles in charge.

WHAT!? NO! MASTER PLEASE NOT HIM! ANYONE BUT HIM!

Eris turns around looking at him with her eyes wide. He turns her back around to finish with her hair tying it a hair band and bright pink ribbon.

Easy my sunset. Do not worry. I know you do not like him, not after what happened a few months ago. But I am taking Sonic, Fleetway, and Scourge with me. Knuckles is going to be gone as well taking his pets, and Tails with him. I would leave Infinite in charge but something came up and he had to go deal with it.

I see.

She says sadly as a sigh leaves her lips.

Do not worry so much my pet. You will not be alone. I'll be leaving Phantom with you the whole time I'm gone. He will stay with you every moment till I am back, and if he does well I may consider letting him be an inside pet. So long as I don't come back to a destroyed Castle.

R-Really?!

He nods at her smiling. Smiling, she stands up and throws her arms around him hugging him. He hugs her back as he picks her up and carries her to her bed. Phantom stretches out and yawns and makes his way over to her bed and jumps on it as Shadow tucks Eris in for the night.

Now rest and I'll see you in the morning.

Yes Master Shadow.

He kisses her forehead and he gets up to leave. As he looks back a moment he sees Phantom snuggling up to her wrapping his massive arms and hands around her tiny frame holding her close as she snuggles into his fur, his tail tapping against the bed. Smiling, he walks out shutting off the lights and closing the door softly.

Eris lays there for a good hour unable to sleep due to feeling like she was burning up all over. Sighing out she sits up and looks out her windows and sees the start of the Blood Moon. With being unable to sleep, her master leaving tomorrow with a lot of the others that left her with only Shadow's twin brother Mephiles. Besides her first heat she had other things on her mind as well. Sighing out she gets out of bed as Phantom looks up tilting his head at her.

Come on boy let's go see if Rouge is in her room or Knuckles so I can see if she has any heats suppressants.

Wagging his tail he hops out of bed and walks over to her. She wraps her arms around his massive neck hugging him as he lifts her up in his left arm. As she sits on his left arm she opens her doors and the head to the left and they walk down the long hallway. She always hated walking down these halls at night, it scared her. She remembered the first time she got lost almost a few months ago because something has scared her and she ran from it. She later found out it was T-Pup, Tails little robotic dog. Even to this day she still hated walking the halls only cause she would get lost still. Sighing out as Phantom holds her they keep walking down the hallway. As they make another turn to the right the moon shines brightly through the massive windows lighting their path. As they walk on Phantom starts to become a little nervous all of a sudden as did Eris.

You feel it to don't you boy?

He softly whines out as he folds his ears back, but he keeps a hold of her and walks on as they take another left and walk on some more. She hated how far Rouge's room was, she should have just gone to Knuckles first, his was so much closer. Or even Amy's for that matter. As they walk on there comes a scuffling sound from behind them and Phantom freezes as Eris looks around.

H-Hello? I-I-Is anyone there?

Nothing. Nothing but silence in the dark hallways. Phantom whines out softly as Eris looks around but sees nothing. She pats his head and he goes on. They would be at Rouge's room in just a few moment's they would be fine so long as they didn't do anything stupid. Like run for their lives. As they walk on they hear someone chuckling within the darkness. It was a dark, almost deadly chuckle as Phantom froze again. Eris pats him as she starts to slide off his arm. He sets her down as she takes a stand gulping as she tries to sound as if she wasn't scared.

W-Whoever you are I demand that you S-Show yourself NOW!

The voice again chuckles darkly but this time it sounded much closer than before. She freezes as she feels a hand brush against her arm making her eep out. She turns around fast but sees nothing. Phantom turns around and looks behind them and even he sees nothing.

I SAID SHOW YOURSELF NOW! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!

She says in a scared voice as she holds herself.

S-SO HELP M-M-ME SONIC, M-M-EPHILES, OR ANY OF YOU O-O-OTHERS, IF YOUR TRYING TO S-S-SCARE ME IT'S WORKING AND...AND…

And what?

Eris screams out and turns around as does Phantom as he growls out standing in front of Eris to protect her from harm. But the voice again laughs as she feels a hand on the small of her back making her freeze. She was now too scared to even move as she held her hands up to her chest. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes as it slowly traced the spinal line of her back up.

Ph-Ph-Ph-Phantom…..

Phantom turns around and growls out lunging at whoever it was that dared to touch his mistress. But as he does, he lands ten feet from her and as he turns around, arms encase her as she stood there shaking as silent tears fell. She didn't know who this was, she only met a few of the members of her Masters family, and only heard of the rest via their names. The one who had her breathed out onto her neck making her whimper out. Phantom growled and slowly took a couple toward us readying to jump in and save her if he had to.

Call off your mutt now or I'll end up doing something that you may not like.

Eris looks at the voice with her eyes not really able to see anything as she looks back at Phantom and tells him to back down.

E-e-easy….Ph-Ph-Ph-Phantom boy….d-d-don't do anything….o-o-or he'll hurt me….

At once Phantom backs off but keeps his guard up nonetheless.

Good, now this may hurt a little but I could care less. Now hold still and don't make a sound.

Eris stiffens up as she feels the strangers hot breath on the right side of her neck. He licks at it softly as tears stream down her face and he laps them up like a kitten to milk. As he does, he reaches down with a free hand to her lower regions slowly as she feels his fangs graze her skin.

P-p-please...d-d-don't do it…. I b-b-beg of you….

She whispers out just as she feels their hand gather up her nightgown and start to slide his hand into her panties.

Sorry but I'm in the mood for some virgin blood right now and your the only one STUPID enough to be out during this time of night. You should know better than that.

Their fangs pierce her neck going deep into them just as she feels their fingers pressing their way into her lower lips. She gaps out and softly cries closing her eyes, but before they could get much father into her she hears something breaking and the stranger being jolted as they and Eris fall to the ground, his fangs ripping from her.

AAAAAH!

Eris screams out in pain as the stranger falls on her. It was then she heard another voice.

SCOURGE THE HEDGEHOG YOU FUCKING BASTARD! YOU KNOW HOW LORD SHADOW FEELS ABOUT YOU SCARING HER YOU FUCKING SICKO!

Eris lays there shaking as she hears a new voice chuckling out. She feels the weight of Scourge being lifted off her as he stands up rubbing the back of his head chuckling.

Sheesh Rouge I was only having some fun.

FUN!? YOU CALL SCARING THE POOR GIRL FUN YOU FUCKING SICK BASTARD!? YOU KNOW SHE IS STILL NEW, STILL GETTING USE TO ALL OF US! YOU MORE THAN LIKELY TRAUMATIZED HER YET AGAIN JUST AS SHE WAS GETTING USE TO US YOU PIG!

Eris lays there too shocked and traumatized to move as Rouge chews Scourge a new asshole. Phantom runs over to her and nuzzles her whining trying to get her to come out of it, but it does no good.

WHAT IS GOING ON DOWN THERE!?

Another voice yells down the hallway as they come running over to see what was going on. It was just a bit higher in tone then Shadows was. Eris laid there thinking she knew the voice but couldn't place a finger on it. Phantom stood over her, almost laying on top of her, protecting her. He growls out bearing his fangs at them sensing she was still too scared and in shock to move. The new stranger stops in his tracks and takes a step back when he sees his sapphire eyes start to shine a Malachite green color. A sign that his wolf wanted out to do harm to those who hurt his mistress. The new person softly talks to him trying to get him to calm down as he kneels down some.

Easy boy...it's just me...your pal Knuckles….I'm not gonna hurt you or Eris alright? I just wanted to see what was going on...now come on...show me those sapphire eyes of yours hmm?

It was then that Rouge finally looked up from beating Scourge's ass with a chair leg from the chair she had used to stop him from scaring Eris. She had him by the collar of his shirt and was in mid swinging when she looked up. Remembering Eris. She drops the chair leg and Scourge who lets out an OOF as he falls to the floor. He rubs his head and rolls over to see what was going on and his eyes widen as he curses.

Oh shit. I really fucked up didn't I?

Rouge looks down at him and gives him the death glare.

Yeah I'll say you did you bastard.

She slowly moves towards Phantom from behind kneeling to his level trying to get to Eris herself.

Hey Phantom...remember me? Rouge?… Come now, Knuckles only wants to help Eris nothing more….to make sure she is alright…..if you let us see her, I'll give you something nice for protecting her alright? How about that?…

At hearing how he would get a reward for protecting his mistress, he slowly starts to calm down just a tiny bit. Knuckles looks over at his Pet and smiles nodding as he lips something to her.

"Nice work, not keep it going,"

She nods and keeps talking.

So how about it boy? Would you like that? Maybe a nice big stake….

His eyes start to go back to normal flashing between Malachite green and Sapphire blue. Rouge almost had him when a new voice sounded making him and every stiffen up.

What is going on here? Why is Scourge on the floor, and why is there blood pooling around the fleabag for? Tell me right now you wench!

The one the voice belongs to stops next to her as Rouge gulps, answering him as she points to Scourge who was still laying on the floor.

A-A-Ask him...L-L-Lord Mephiles. H-H-he did it….

Mephiles looks over at his brother, places a folded hand on his hip and face palms with the other shaking his head with a look of…."REALLY?…" All Scourge does is chuckles out sheepishly.

Mephiles sighs out as he looks to Phantom who in turn looks back growling. Mephiles takes a step closer and that was a step too close. Growling out loudly as it turns into a long howl, his eyes fully turn Malichite green as he gathers up Eris in his arms and runs off with her. Everyone, but Mephiles, gasps out as he runs barreling into Knuckles and sends him flying into the wall. Rouge gasps out as she runs to her Master to make sure he is alright. As he sits up he rubs his head glaring at his brother growling at him.

YOU FUCKING MORON! WE ALMOST HAD HIM CALMED DOWN TO SEE IF ERIS WAS ALRIGHT OR NOT!

Mephiles just stands there as his brother yells at him scoffing and rolls his eyes as if he should give a damn. Getting up he looks at Scourge and yells at him as well.

STOP LAYING THERE LIKE A DEAD FROG ON A LOG YOU MORON AND GO AFTER THEM NOW! WILL BE BEHIND YOU!

What?! Or right, on it!

Meanwhile in another part of the castle….

Shadow was in his room reading before bed, a past time he always did, it helped him relax, as he was deep into his book he heard the howling. Looking up, he had stopped his reading and stood up fast dropping his book and using his vampiric speed he was out the door in a blur. It takes him but a moment to reach where he had heard the howling. Just as he rounded a corner, he was sent flying by a massive white paw and into Scourge who was running after them. Groaning out he hears the voices of Knuckles and Rouge.

Shadow!

Lord Shadow! A-Are you alright?

Shadow groans out and holds a hand to his head shaking it.

Y-Yes, I'm fine, but what was that?

Not what, but a WHO, brother.

What do you mean a WHO Knuckles?

It was Phantom my Lord.

Rouge tells him as she helps him up along with Scourge.

Phantom?!

Yes, Scourge went a bit too far again and scared Eris. we nearly had him calmed down then Mephlies came and set him off.

WHAT!?

Upon hearing this he turns around fast and grabs a hold of his brother by his neck and squeezes it hard causing him to choke as he lifts him high into the air. He claws at his brother's arm trying to get free as Shadow holds up a fist readying to punch him as he growls out, his eyes glowing a deadly Golden color.

WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER SCOURGE!?

N-N-Nothing...I-I-I swear...brother….

He chokes out making Shadow even madder.

DO NOT PLAY DUMB WITH ME YOU HALF WIT! PHANTOM WOULDN'T BE ACTING LIKE THIS IF YOU HADN'T DONE SOMETHING TO HER!

Rouge stands behind Knuckles placing her hands on his broad back frightened at the moment of Shadow's anger. Knuckles walks over to him and places a hand on his fist. Shadow looks at him as his eyes still glow , slowly shifting to gold as flames slowly start to form on his body and horns start to come out the top of his head. Knuckles knew he had only moments before his true demon side showed itself.

Shadow...Brother….please calm yourself. Right now we need to find Phantom and Eris. She is hurt and bleeding out…

WHAT!?

At hearing this it made him even more angrier as he looked back to Scourge, squeezing even harder at his neck tempting to snap it, the golden flames flaring to life even more.

Shadow look at me right now.

Knuckles tells him in a calm cool tone. He looks at him growling out.

HE HURT HER! HE WILL PAY FOR THIS!

Yes I know but right now if we don't find Eris and help her she could end up dying.

He looks at Scourge growling out.

WHAT...DID...YOU...DO...TO HER SCOURGE!?

I...I….

Unable to speak due to not being able to breath, Knuckles places his other hand on the one holding him and he looks at Shadow. Shadow looks between both him and Scourge but finally settles on Knuckles who in turn gently shakes his head. Growling once more he releases his hold on Scourge making him fall to the floor with a loud thump. Scourge starts to cough as he holds his neck rubbing it.

START. TALKING. NOW!

Scourge coughs out as he looks at his brother wincing but opens one eye slightly and speaks.

I..I...kind of….fed….off her...when I scared...her...b-but this bitch…

He points a thumb over at Rouge.

Comes…. Out of coughs coughs nowhere and hits the...back of my head with...a chair….

Shadow looks to Rouge who gasps out but before he could attack her Knuckles stands in front of her to stop him as his horns fully show and his tail now starts to grow longer and slimmer.

GET. OUT. OF. THE. WAY. KNUCKLES!

Now hold on. I'm sure Rough didn't mean it and had no idea he was feeding off her.

H-H-he's r-r-right my Lord. I-I-I didn't know. I was only….trying to save Eris….I-I-I promise my Lordship.

Shadow looks at her in the eyes and after a moment of studying her he nods.

Very well.

He tells them in a cool yet deadly cold tone as the golden fire starts to die down some. It was then they all looked up hearing another howl. Growing out again Shadow turns around to follow the howl leaving the others behind. As he hurries down the hallways turning left and right he finally comes upon Phantom. Eris was still in his arms as he growled out at Sonic who was trying to hold him off. When Shadow sees this he calls out.

SONIC CAREFUL! HE'S IN FULL PROTECTION MOOD!

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?! WHY IS HE SO WORKED UP!?

FUCKING SCOURGE AND MEPHILES!

WHAT?!

JUST TRY AND GET….

But it was too late. Seeing his chance he rams into Sonic and sends him flying as he runs off once more. Sonic crashes into the wall and groans out as he runs off. Shadow runs to his brother helping him up.

You alright Sonic?

Yeah. But boy does he have a killer ram on him sheesh.

Right come on we need to hurry before…..

There comes a loud crashing sound as they look to where it came from. They hurry on down the hallway and see a window broken and run to it and look out. As they look out it they could see him sliding down the side of the wall with his claws tightly dug in as he holds Eris close. She was still out of it from what Sonic and Shadow could tell. As they look at one another they hear something and look to their right and see Amy on the floor shaking.

Shit! AMY!

Sonic runs over to her and helps her up as she clings to him.

W-w-what is going on? W-why...was he….Eris...the blood….Sonic….?!

Amy was in slight shock trying to put everything together at what she saw. Shadow growls out as he hears something from behind him and looks that way. As he does he sees Rouge and he yells out pointing to the window.

HURRY FOLLOW HIM AND DON'T LET HIM GET FAR WITH ERIS! IF HE ESCAPES WITH HER WE MAY NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO SAVE HER! HURRY ROUGE!

ON IT LORD SHADOW!

Without another word and a strong beat of her wings, she picks up speed and flies right out the window following Phantom. Knuckles and Scourge stop in their tracks as Shadow looks to them growling out.

KNUCKLES STAY HERE, AND SCOURGE YOU BETTER HOPE I CAN GET TO HER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE! OR SO HELP ME YOU WILL REGRET IT!

He yells out as the golden fire takes hold of him causing everyone to shy away from him. Power radiates from him as the fire bursts apart as Shadow takes on his demon form. Shadow was not playing around no more. His blood red horns shine in the moonlight, his thin long pale gold tail whips about as the scythe-like tip of it slashes the air. His claws are longer and tipped a blood red. His white fangs also shine in the lamp light as well, as his bat-like wings extend from his back. The ridges being pale gold, why the skin was red and pale gold. Pale gold on the back and red on the outside. They were ragged and torn at the edges. Sharp claws were on the tips of them as the shined in the light. His eyes were now a golden color. His fur had turned such a pale gold it was almost white. His stripes had stayed the same blood red color during his transformation.

Everyone looks on in shock at seeing his demon form. It was not only a sight to behold, but one not to mess with. Looking at everyone, he was gone in a blink of an eye as he followed Rouge out the window. Everyone looks at one another for a moment till all eyes turn to Scourge.

You really did it now you asshole.

WHAT!?

Knuckles and Sonic facepalm shaking their heads as Sonic takes a hold of Amy.

I'm going to take Amy back to her room. Knuckles, do us all a huge favor and beat the shit out of Scourge if you would please.

Forget it, I'm going to leave that to Shadow to handle. I'm going to get the First-Aid kit ready should they be able to find her.

Fine, why're you doing that then, mind telling Tails to send out T-pup to help them please.

Sure.

I'm already on it Sonic. When I saw him running past my workshop I sent T-pup out. He will follow Phantom and keep an eye on them should Rouge and Shadow can't.

Sonic and Knuckles look behind them and see Tails walking to them and over to the window.

I'll call first thing in the morning to have someone come fix the window. But if I were you Scourge I would get the fucking hell out of here why the getting is still good you piece of shit.

Tails looks at him with his arms folded.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you twin Tailed freak. I'm going.

With that he was gone in a green blur heading off to who knows where to hide from Shadows Wrath.

Sighing and placing his fingers on his forehead and shaking it he sighs out.

S-S-Sonic?

What? Oh right Ames. Sorry my pet, are you alright?

She looks at him as if that was the world's STUPIDEST question, which it was right now, and gives him a tired sigh as she finally collects herself. Shaking her head she walks off down the hallway behind Knuckles and Tails.

Rose where are you going?

To get her room ready for when she comes back. I have a feeling the next few days are going to be hard on her, and I won't be the one to keep fucking things up like the lot of you morons do.

Harrumphing out and stomping her foot and balling up her fist she turns back around and walks off. For a moment Sonic was taken back till he comes to and runs after her and grabs hold of her upper arm and turns her around growling at her.

NOW YOU LISTEN HERE ROSE! DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK LIKE THAT TO ME AGAIN DO YOU HEAR ME!? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO! YOU ARE BUT A PET. A SLAVE TO DO MY BIDDING AND MINE ALONE UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE, AND IF YOU THINK YOUR GOING TO GET AWAY WITH BACK TALKING ME LIKE THAT YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING TO YOU, YOU LITTLE CUNT!

He holds her upper arm tightly making her flinch and cry out, as his eyes flash red for a moment. She sees this but holds her ground.

M-M-Master Sonic...Please...you're hurting me…

Amy cries out.

WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE SPEAKING OUT OF LINE! NOW YOU WILL DO AS I SAY NOT AS YOU WANT DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME ROSE!? OR DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU WHO YOUR MASTER IS!

N-N-No M-M-Master Sonic...I-I-I'm sorry… I-I-I was only...t-t-thinking about...Lady Eris….w-w-was all...p-p-please Master….

Growling out once more he pulls her close, tightening his grip on her upper arm.

YOU. DO. AS. I TELL. YOU. TO DO. AND DO. NOT DISOBEY. ME AGAIN. DO. YOU UNDER. STAND ME?!

He asks her in a deadly tone as his eyes flash red once more and his fangs become longer as his vampiric wolf tries to come out. Amy whimpers out as Knuckles comes over and places a hand on his shoulder.

Sonic, brother. Take a deep breath and calm yourself. You're hurting and scaring her.

He's right Sonic. Please calm yourself.

Tails asks of him.

Good, she needs to be taught a lesson on how to act with her Master and do as she is told. Not as she pleases.

I know. She did step out of line and I agree she needs to be punished for it, but right now she has a point. Someone needs to go get Eris' room ready why everyone is gone. You remember what happened LAST when she first came here don't you?

Tails tells him as he looks at him. Sonic looks at his brother but soon sighs out knowing he was right. It would be a matter of time before Eris came out of her shocked state and she would need help. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath and lets it out as a sigh and nod and lets Amy go and shoves her away making her stumble and nearly fall but Knuckles manages to catch her in time as she looks at Her master scared.

Your right Knuckles, Tails, Thank you both. Go and get her room ready, and make sure you add extra blankets for her.

Y-yes Master Sonic.

No.

Knuckles?

Go clean Phantom's den up now. Add fresh bedding, pillows and everything of comfort for her and him both. Do not skimp out of anything. If she ends up in the same state as last time that is where she will be for most of her time. Close to him not once leaving his side.

Master Sonic?

Amy looks at him tilting her head.

He's right. Go clean his den. Take Sally and Fiona with you to do it and be quick about it.

Y-yes sir.

Amy bows and hurries off to gather the girls as Sonic looks to Knuckles.

What now?

Now we wait and hope we're not too late.

Right. Come on Tails let's go.

Alright. But I think I'll go help the girls.

OK.

With that Tails flies off spinning his twin tails as Sonic and Knuckles head down to the main hallway and lounging area to wait for word on Eris and Phantom. As they walk on they run into Mephiles.

Mephiles?

Sonic, Knuckles, how goes everything? I felt my brother unleash his demon.

He asks them in a somewhat bored tone as if he didn't care.

He did. Phantom jumped, threw a window and slid down the wall to the ground and ran off into the forest. Shadow is with Rouge trying to follow them and Tails sent T-pup behind them. It is only a matter of time till they are found.

Well whatever. Tell Shadow I took my leave and will be back by the end of the blood moon. This should PLEASE him to a great extent.

But you can't! No one will be here to watch over the girls if you leave.

Not my problem.

With that, Mephiles turns on his heels and leaves as Sonic and Knuckles look at one another wondering what to do now.

Well no use to worry about it now let's just go get ready we will worry about it later.

Knuckles tells Sonic who sighs out agreeing with him as they walk off.

In the forest that surrounds Castle Blood Fang…

Eris was holding onto Phantom as if her life depended on it. Which in this case it did. She was still in shock, confused on what was going on, what happened, and why she was in his arms as they ran. She was vaguely aware of her surroundings and more. It was only when Phantom had stopped for a moment and sets her down on the ground and started to clean her wound did she come out of it some. She screams and yells out and hits him in the muzzle causing Phantom to back off. He lowers himself down to the ground and folded his ears back and slowly crawled over to her whining at her as if to say she was fine. She holds her hand to where she was bitten and blinks.

She remembers someone biting into her neck, slowly tracing their hands down her front and to her lower regions and touching her. Then she remembers the feel of fangs being ripped out of her neck and the excruciating pain that came with it. But by then she was in too much of a shock state to realize it as she fell to the floor with her attacker on top of her laughing. She remembers laying there unable to move as she heard sounds. People talking, yelling, and growling.

After that nothing at all. The last thing she remembers vaguely was being picked up and that was it. Now she was here in the depths of the forest in the middle of the night, Phantom close to her whining at her she looks to him and cries out. His eyes had started to go back to normal as he goes over to her and wraps his massive arms around her and holds her as she gathers a bunch of his fur in her hands and cries out. If Phantom could still talk he would tell her it would be alright, that he was here for her, that he wouldn't let anyone touch her again. But he could not. All he could do was whine out and hold her in his arms. As he holds her his ears shoot straight up and flick about hearing something. Growling out. His eyes turn back to their Malachite green color and he gets up with Eris in his arms once more and runs again.

Did you see them Rouge?

I thought so? I'm sure they came this way!

Hurry then we can't lose them!

Not stopping again, he runs, not looking back. But he knew he had to do something fast, or he would be caught. Running on he finds a place to hide them. Running into it he holds her to his chest panting hard. Eris blinks a few times and starts to say something but he gives her a warning growl and she keeps quiet, and the moment she does Rouge and Shadow fly by them as they look for them.

WHERE ARE THEY!?

I'M NOT SURE?! I DON'T SEE THEM ANYWHERE AT ALL!

Shadow growls out as he slams his fist in the side of a thick tree, snapping it in two as it falls over with a loud crash.

We need to find them NOW Rouge! She's in shock and if we don't…

DON'T YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT MY LORDSHIP!? IT'S NOT GOING TO HELP WITH THE COLDER NIGHT'S EITHER!

Beating her wings hard she flies up to the top of the forest canopy and looks around.

COVER YOUR EARS MY LORDSHIP!

Shadow does as he is told as Rouge takes a deep breath and screams out a high pitch scream that would be slightly painful for regular beings but painful for someone like Shadow and his heightened senses. As she screams out she slowly moves her head around to form out an Echo map of the forest before them. Phantom tries his best not to howl out as he holds his head with one massive hand and uses the other to hold Eris who covers her ears. Growling out in slight pain, Phantom sets Eris down as she holds her head. He takes a step back and out of their hiding place as Eris tries to stop him.

Phantom no!

But it was too late. He howls out in pain not being able to take the high pitch sound any more and runs out of the hiding place and runs off. Shadow sees this and flies after him thinking he still had a hold of Eris. Rouge sees this and stops screaming. Panting she stays where she is to catch her breath a few moments before she flies after them.

Eris on the other hand, though still out of it, she slowly peeks from their hiding place but is stopped by a light gray figure who quickly covers her mouth to stop her from screaming out, and covers them with a thick black cloak. Eris pants out terrified as the figure says something in a whisper.

Stay quiet. She will be passing in a moment. Don't do or say anything till she passes us. Understand?

All Eris could do was nod as she shook. She didn't know who this person was. But she was more scared of him than Shadow and Rouge finding her right now. Tears fell from her eyes as she dared not move or blink. As the stranger holds her close Rouge flies by them, stopping for only a moment and looks around thinking she heard something. She sees the hole in the small cave and looks in. But as she does a Cauldron of bats fly out startling her for a moment, but she only smiles and flies off to catch up with Shadow. After what seemed like forever the stranger removes the hood of his cloak and himself from Eris. He turns around, still keeping a hand to her mouth and looks around. He didn't see the white she bat any more and removed his hand from her mouth.

Alright they're gone. You're safe for now.

He walks out of the small cave and into the pathway, but Eris stays where she was too scared to move. She blinks as she looks at the stranger.

Hey you alright? I said you could come out now.

Still she doesn't move.

Hey… you alright there?

He asks her worriedly as he moves closer to her. But he moves too fast as she screams out and runs out of the cave pushing him to the side and runs off into the woods. With Phantom gone she did the only thing she knew to do, and that was to run. She hears the man calling out to her and coming after her but still she keeps going not looking back. She jumps over rocks, bushes, fallen trees and more.

Her legs and arms, even feet getting scratches and more. At one point she fell down and ended up cutting her right arm open. Another time she fell down the side of a small hill and ended up with more cuts and bruises, and felt her ribs crack. Somewhere at one point she hid behind a large boulder as he ran past her.

Her nightgown was in tatters and ruined beyond repair. When she sees the man run past her, she runs back the other way but steps on a twig making it snap out. The stranger turns around and sees her and goes after her once more. As she runs she ends up tripping over something again and ends up hurting her leg badly. Ignoring the pain she keeps running till she ends up running out of room TOO run. Looking around for a way out the stranger finally catches up to her panting. He holds up his hands as his cloak whips around him as a cold wind picks up and he starts to speak softly to her as he would a wounded animal.

Hey now, just take it easy miss. I won't hurt you. Please, come back from the edge of the cliff and I'll take you someplace safe.

Eris turns around balling up her fist and holding them to her chest. She slowly backs up but stops at once when she feels the edge near her. Panting she tries again to find another way out. Her tattered nightgown and braid, that somehow managed to stay together, blows about in the cold wind.

S-S-Stay AWAY FROM ME! DON'T COME ANY CLOSER TO ME YOU MONSTER!

Listen, I told you I won't hurt you. I'm trying to HELP you. Now step away from the ledge before you fall and hurt yourself more.

N-N-NO! I WON'T DO IT! I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET YOU TAKE ME!

Alright, miss. Alright. Easy now.

The stranger backs up and this somehow makes Eris feel just a tiny bit better. She slowly comes away from the edge and when she does she sees a thick tree branch and runs over to it and stanches it up and holds it out in front of her like a sword ready to attack the stranger should he try anything. She backs up once more ready for anything.

I-I-I'M WARNING YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE! TO STAY BACK! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE ME!

The stranger takes a step and holds his hands up. He watches her with his golden eyes as she moves. She steps back when he steps forwards. But when he stepped back she stepped forward. He had to think of something and fast before those people came back to take her.

Listen, my name is Prince Silver of the Silver Crescent Moon Clan. I'm only here to help you. I won't hurt you I promise alright? Please, just put the branch down and come with me.

NO! NEVER! JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!

She screams at him as tears fall. She takes another step back but stops once more when she feels nothing behind her. Gasping out she looks behind her and gulps. She looks back at Silver as her voice brakes to a whisper.

P-p-please...go...away...let me...go…

Listen I can't let you go. You're hurt badly and in shock from what ever happened. PLEASE just let me help you. I'M BEGGING YOU!

She looks at him shaking her head. He takes a step forward, but soon as he does she takes one back, almost going over. She cries out from surprise but she manages to keep her balance. Silver curses and backs up quite a bit allowing her to move forward and to some safety. As they hold their stalemate the wind picks up as clouds form over head and thunder rumbles in the clouds and lightning strikes behind Eris. Rain soon follows as Silver stands to his full height. Getting annoyed and worried for her safety.

Seeing his full height she gasps out even more scared than before. Taking a few steps back she nearly falls over the edge of the cliff. She catches herself and falls on her hands and knees crying out as she feels the sharp loose rocks dig into the palms of her hands and her open leg wound. Growling out, Silver runs to her but she stands up and swings at him, hitting him in the face and causing him to stagger back.

I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY YOU MONSTER! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE ME! GET AWAY! GET AWAY! GET AWAY!

She swings the branch at him and he dodges everyone after the first hit. On the fifth swing he catches it in his left hand and looks at her growling out as he pushes back. She gaps out in shock and looks at him deep into his golden eyes. He rips the branch out of her hands and causes her to fall down. She lays there a moment on her side till she pushes herself up and looks at him. He curses once more for having hurt her even more than she was and kneels down to help her up. But upon seeing this, she scoots back away from and close to the edge and stops. She was trapped and with no way out. She finally realizes this. Panting and gulping. Silver walks over to her to pick her up when something comes out from the forest. Silver looks behind him, and the sudden moment makes Eris scream out pushing back and having forgotten about the edge of the cliff she falls over it.

AAAAAAAAAAH!

Silver looks behind him and sees her falling and runs after her just as a white ball of fur comes running out from the forest and tries to skid to a stop but can't due to the pouring rain making the ground muddy. Silver manages to catch Eris by the hand as it manages to grab a hold of the edge with his claws and dig them in and hold on.

Hold...on.. I got...you…

Eris looks up at him and then over when she sees Phantom and screams out.

PHANTOM HELP ME!

He looks over and sees her and growling out he jumps up and onto the cliff once more and he growls out and swings his massive paw at Silver nearly making him drop her.

STAND DOWN WOLF! I'M TRYING TO HELP HER!

At that moment a new sound comes from the woods as Rouge and Shadow burst from the trees.

THERE HE IS! BUT WHERE'S ERIS AT!

I-I DON'T KNOW MASTER SHADOW! BUT LOOK THERE!

Rouge points to where Silver was and Shadow looks over and sees him. Phantom looks between the two and figuring he would have a better chance at fighting Shadow and Rouge than the stranger, he stands in front of Silver growling out taking a fighting stance. Silver looks over his shoulders and sees him taking a fighting stance. As he did he could see the other two people and one of them he recognized. His eyes widen in shock as he locks eyes with him. Shadow looks back at him and he slowly takes a step towards him growling.

WHO ARE YOU, AND WHERE'S ERIS AT!

For a moment Silver doesn't know what to do or say. That was till he heard someone gasping out and looked back and saw Eris slipping from his hands. Growling out he starts to pull her up just as Shadow takes another step, and it was a step too much for Phantom. Growling out he lunges at him swiping his claws at him. Shadow jumps back in time as he goes in again and swipes his claws at him again. He kept this up till he had Shadow far enough back he felt comfortable. He jumps back to guard Silver and Eris, Eris mostly, and growls out. Silver manages to pull Eris up and she falls on top of him as he wraps his arms around her. Shadow sees this and gaps out taking a step back in surprise as Silver helps her up.

ERIS!?

Eris hears her name and looks up in shock at him. She freezes in place as he steps forward. Phantom jumps at Shadow growling. But Shadow jumps out of the way and he misses skidding to a halt and turns around at the same time thanks to the mud as she stops in front of Rouge. Thunder and lightning go off overhead. This causes Eris to come out of it and she shakes her head and shoves Silver so hard that she steps back and falls over the edge.

At that moment everything suddenly goes into slow motion. Eris falls over the cliff with a look of shock as a silent scream is plastered on her face as she reaches out to grab onto something ANYTHING at all. Shadow looks behind him as he hears her screaming out and starts to run after her slowly. Phantom runs to his mistress as fast as he can. Rouge acts fast and flies after Eris to help her. A dark cloak being thrown off as a silver streak runs past both Shadow and Phantom. A strong powerful thin tail swinging around hitting Shadow in the gut. Time froze for but a moment as it stayed there and then sent Shadow flying back so fast he was a pal golden blur as he was slammed into Rouge. Shadow and Rouge falling in the rain and mud rolling over and over again. The silver streak dive bombing over the cliff as he holds out his hand to her.

Phantom skidding to a halt and looks over the edge whining. Eris and the silver streak fall deeper and deeper into the dark void. Shadow and Rouge finally come out of it and as Rouge helps him as they run to the cliff edge looking down. Then...nothing… everything was dead silent for a few short moments till slowly everything started to come back. The sound of pouring rain and thunder over head. The broken sad howl from Phantom as he cries for Eris. Rouge gasps out as she holds her hands to her mouth as tears fall. Shadow screams into the storm as he pushes away from Rouge and runs to the edge of the cliff ready to jump down to go find her.

ERIS NOOOOOOOOOO!

But before he could get far, a bright silver streak shot up like a comet and past him and high in the skies. It stops fifty feet in the air as thunder crashes and lighting shoots over behind him illuminating him giving him a terrifying look. Eris was in his arms limp as a rag doll. Phantom looks up barking and jumping about trying to get to them, wanting to make sure Eris was alright. Shadow stands up growling out as he holds a fist up ready to take flight to go save her. But as he tries to he finds he can't. He looks back behind him and sees his left wing drooping. Clearly busted. Growling out he yells up the Silver Demon.

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU! I DEMAND YOU TELL ME RIGHT NOW!

I AM PRINCE SILVER OF THE SILVER CRESCENT MOON CLAN!

WHAT!?

I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU, THE PRINCE OF THE BLOOD FANG CLAN TO HARM THIS GIRL ANY LONGER!

I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING! SHE IS MY PET, I CARE FOR HER DEEPLY!

IS THAT SO? IF YOU CARE FOR HER DEEPLY THEN WHY IS SHE LIKE THIS! TELL ME NOW AND MAYBE IF I BELIEVE YOU I'LL GIVE HER BACK.

Shadow growls out as he looks up at him.

I WILL NOT EXPLAIN MYSELF TO THE LIKES OF YOU! HAND HER OVER RIGHT….

THERE WAS A MISUNDERSTANDING THAT SCARED HER AND SHE AND HER WOLF RAN!

Shadow looks over at Rouge and growls out. She knew she would be in trouble later. But he looks back at the other Demon Prince.

WHAT SORT OF MISUNDERSTANDING!?

HIS BROTHER ENDED UP SCARING HER ON HER WAY TO SEE ME ABOUT SOMETHING. HE SCARED HER AND PHANTOM, AND PHANTOM TOOK ON A DEFENSIVE STANCE. HIS BROTHER BIT INTO HER NECK AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HE DID. I WENT TO ATTACK HIM FOR BEING A PRICK AND WHEN I DID IT FORCED HIS FANGS OUT OF HER NECK. BECAUSE OF THAT SHE ENDED UP HURT. SOON AFTER, AFTER MY MASTER CAME PHANTOM BECAME MORE PROTECTIVE OF HER. WE ALMOST HAD HIM CALMED DOWN TO TEND TO HER.

BUT THEN SHADOWS OTHER BROTHER THAT SCARES EVEN PHANTOM CAME AROUND THE CORNER. FROM THEN THINGS TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORST. AS HIS BROTHER TOOK A STEP IT SET THINGS IN MOTION. PHANTOM GATHER ERIS UP IN HIS ARMS AND FLED ALL AROUND THE CASTLE TILL HE JUMPED OUT A WINDOW, CLAWED HIS WAY DOWN THE WALL WITH HER IN HIS ARMS AND OUT CASTLE BLOOD FANG AND RAN INTO THE FOREST. FROM THERE ME AND MY LORDSHIP FOLLOWED THEM. I AM GUESSING YOU CAME SOME TIME DURING IT ALL AND IF SO YOU KNOW THE REST.

Silver looked down at Rouge and Shadow. He looks back as Silver thinks. He looks to Phantom who had given up trying to reach Eris and goes back to guarding instead as once more thunder and lightning goes off.

YOU SAID THAT THE WOLF TOOK HER TO PROTECT HER IS THAT RIGHT?

YES!

SO THEN I AM TO ASSUME THAT SHE IS HIS MASTER!

YES!

Silver looks at Phantom and calls down to him.

PHANTOM WAS IT? WHAT SAYS YOU?!

Phantom looks up at Silver tilting his head to both sides thinking. He looks back at Shadow and Rouge and growls out taking a few steps forward. Silver looks at him watching him and nods.

HE HAS SPOKEN, AND AS ANY BEAST MUST FOLLOW THEIR MASTERS WILL, IF HE WAS TRYING TO KEEP YOU FROM HER THEN I WILL ASSUME WHAT YOU SAY IS A LIE!

DAMMIT!

BUT IT'S NOT! WE SWEAR TO YOU IT ISN'T!

Shadow curses out as Rouge yells up to him.

WELL UNLESS THE GIRL WAKES UP IN THE NEXT TEN SECONDS AND SAYS OTHERWISE THEN I WILL HAVE TO BELIEVE PHANTOM! I WILL TAKE HER BACK TO MY HOME AND WHEN SHE WAKES UP AND TELLS ME HERSELF WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THEN I WILL CONSIDER BRINGING HER BACK IF SHE WISHES TO COME BACK.

NO!

YOU CAN'T DO THAT! SHADOW IS HER MASTER!

I DO NOT CARE IF HE IS HER PET! I WILL MAKE SURE SHE IS SAFE AND WELL AT ALL COST! I WILL NOT HAVE THE WHITE DEVIL DO HER HARM! PHANTOM! IF YOU WISH TO STAY WITH YOUR MISTRESS FOLLOW ME NOW!

WHAT NO! GET BACK HERE NOW OR SO HELP ME YOU WILL BE SORRY!

Shadow tries to fly up but winces in pain as he holds a hand to his left shoulder having forgotten about his wing. Rouge gabs a hold of him as she watches on. Silver looks down at him glaring at him. With a humph he turns around and flies off, Phantom close on his heels from below. But as he turns around a small yellow and white robotic fox with a propeller blade coming out of his back barks at him as he tilts his head. Eris stirs awake but not by much, mumbling something which catches Silver's attention. Humming out. He looks to the robotic fox and nods. It moves out of the way and let's Silver fly off with Eris in his arms as it flies behind him. Phantom runs below keeping place as they all leave Shadow and Rouge alone watching on.

You want I go after them Lord Shadow?

No, let them go for now. I'll need your help getting back. But mark my word, he has made an enemy out of me.

Lord Shadow?

Now come.

Turning around she helps him and they walk off into the night.

An hour and half later….

The storm rages on still, rain, thunder and lighting not stopping. The one named Silver sees his home in sight far ahead of him. Below him Phantom ran on trying his best to keep up with him, but it was clear he was becoming tired. T-pup flew next to Silver in the skies as they kept going. After another thirty minutes they finally make it. He flies down and sticking out his right leg he lands on the very top of the steps of his home. He folds his wings in as two men open the doors to his home up for him and he walks in and starts ordering the servants around.

QUICKLY, GO TO MY BROTHERS ROOM AND GET A HOT BATH GOING AT ONCE BEFORE HYPOTHERMIA SETS IN! YOU FIND SOMETHING DRY FOR HER TO WEAR AFTER SO PNEUMONIA DOESN'T SET IN! YOU GO GET DR. FINITEVUS AT ONCE TELL HIM TO MEET ME IN MY BROTHERS ROOM! YOU THREE GET ANOTHER BATH GOING FOR THE WOLF, GET HIM WASHED AND DRIED BEFORE HE ENDS UP SICK AS WELL THEN BRING HIM TO MY BROTHERS ROOM! NOW HURRY!

Sir what wolf?

Silver stops and looks behind him just as the two men nearly finish closing the door. But just before they do, Phantom busts through them skidding to a halt and starts to shake off.

THAT wolf. Now go and get his bath ready and make sure he is fully dried off before bringing him to us.

At hearing the B word, Phantom sits stock still watching everyone. He slowly starts to back up as three men come over to take him to another room for a bath. he cowers as he folds his ears back whining out.

Come on pup, it's gonna be alright. We are just gonna give you a nice warm bath and dry ye off so you can be with Master Silver.

As they near him, he jumps up and over the men and hides behind Silver gulping.

Listen wolf, either you get a warm bath now or you wait outside in the cold and wet and not be next to your Mistress. You can't be with her all muddy and wet, you will only make her sick. Do not worry my servants will take good care of you and get you washed and dried. Besides if you get sick then who would guard her from those who wish to hurt her?

He tells him in a stern tone but he softens it smiling at him.

Phantom looks up at Silver with his deep sapphire eyes for a moment and thinks. After a moment he gives him an annoyed look and snorts and walks over to the Maids to be taken for his bath. Annoyed on how right he was. After that Silver hurries to his brothers room and heads right for the bathroom where three of his female servants were waiting. He hands Eris over and he leaves to go get changed himself, T-pup staying close to him should he be needed for something. After drying off and a fast change into dry clothing, he goes back to the room to see that the maids were just finishing putting on a delicate looking nightgown on Eris just as Dr. Finitevus walks in and over to the bed the maids were putting her in.

Out of my way! Out of my way right now! Do not worry about covering her up. I need to check her over. Now go, get. Leave right now! All but you Blaze! You stay!

He points to the purple Feline who bows as the other two Maids bow and take their leave as Dr. Finitevus opens his medical bag up and takes out a stethoscope and listens to her heart and lungs his brows furrowing as he thinks.

Dr. Finitevus?

Her heart rate is beating abnormally fast for someone like her, and her breathing is a bit shallow. It is hard telling if pneumonia has started to set in or not, or if maybe it's something more.

He puts his stethoscope around his neck and lifts up her nightgown to just under her breast and looks her body over.

Some nasty cuts on her abdomen, nothing bad though. Some bruising as well. Feels like maybe a fractured rib on her right side, maybe her left too. Her legs are all scratched up, and this gash on her left side is really bad. I'll have to disinfect it and stitch it closed and wrap it up. Her feet will need to be stitched as well in a couple places and wrapped up. Her right arm has a nasty gash as well. There's a gash on her head as well. I don't feel anything more on her head. There is this nasty looking bite mark here on her neck as well. I'm guessing from a vampire, that will need to be tended to as well. Help me lift her up so I can check her back.

Nodding Silver helps set her up and Finitevus lifts up her nightgown once more to check her back. Again he listens to her breathing and nods. Silver lays her back down gently as Finitevus puts his stethoscope away as he takes out disinfection, cotton balls, gauze, bandages, a couple of syringes, some medicine, gloves, thread and needles and a few other things.

Right you can help me Silver.

Finitevus tells him as he looks to Blaze.

You come with me now. I need to wash my hands. Silver you do the same as well.

Nodding they go to do that and in a few moments they come back as Finitevus put his gloves on. He takes one of the syringes and fills it with Novocain.

Silver, take some of those cotton balls and start to disinfect the not so nasty looking cuts at once. Blaze, keep that water close by so I can wipe any extra blood from her if I need to.

Of cores Dr. Fintievus.

After filling the syringe he goes about and injects it around the wound in her leg. He does the same with the one on her arm as well as feet, and neck. Once done he sets about threading the needle and sets about stitching the worst of the wounds up, that being the left leg. T-pup lands close by her and watches Finitevus and softly whines out at him.

Don't worry little one I'll save your friend, I promise. There isn't one I haven't lost yet trust me.

He keeps working when a howl of an animal in pain sounds throughout the castle.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?

Finitevus stops mid stitch and looks up tilting his head as does Silver. But T-Pup takes a tiny robotic paw and face palms shaking his head, as the maid answers him.

It sounds like that wolf that came with your my Lord.

Well it sounds like there torturing him alive. Good god what did you do Silver.

Sent him for a bath. I guess he really doesn't like them.

Finitevus eyebrows furrow as he raises one looking over at Silver shaking his head with a look of, really?, on his face, as Blaze giggles out. Silver just shrugs and goes back to cleaning the rest of the smaller wounds. Finitevus sighs and shakes his head and goes back to work himself, finishing up the leg wound and moving to the one on her arm. Once done he moves to the one on her neck and gasps out.

Finit what is it?

The wound on her neck, it's a lot worse than I thought, unless?

Unless what?

Vampire's Venom.

Vampire's venom?!

Only a few have been known to have it, it's a rare trait. Think of it like the venom of a Viper if you would. As you know a Vipers Venom is deadly and can kill if left untreated. Vampire's venom is pretty much the same thing. Regular vampire's venom is intended to numb the bite site as they feed so as to not feel anything but maybe a slight sting like that of a bees sting, or even pump a sort of aphrodisiac if there making love with their prey or pets, so it feels more like pleasure than pain, even turn someone into a vampire as well if they wanted to, so long as the said patron drinks their blood after.

If the fangs are ripped, or forced out, as a sort of fail safe if you would, a special type or venom will be shot into the victims neck, it will cause excruciating pain for the one they bit. Making them sick and unable to move due to the pain. It's not deadly or anything but it hurts like a mother fucker let me tell you. It won't kill, not unless the bite into a main auditory, but even if the wound is closed up, the lingering effects can last a week or more. But this type of venom can make one sick, paralyze, or even kill, it all depends in the end, and of the vampire, and since I do not know what kind of vampire done this, it is hard telling what kind of Anti-Venom I'll need to treat it since there is different kinds of venom.

Is there any way you can use like a Multipurpose Anti-venom?!

No because if I tried that, or for that matter, if one even truly EXISTED, it would more than likely do more harm than good. Quickly, hand me my stethoscope out of my bag and hand it to me.

Silver does as he is told and at once hands it over. Finitevus takes it and puts it on and in his ears and starts to listen once more. His eyebrows furrow once more, but not in a good way.

It's as I feared. Her heart is starting to slow down, along with her breathing.

I take it that's bad.

Yes.

CAN'T YOU DO SOMETHING!?

Silver yells out worried for Eris. Finitevus growls out standing up fast and yells at him making Blaze step back some.

IF I GIVE HER THE WRONG TYPE OF ANTI-VENOM IT COULD KILL HER! WE CAN'T RISK THAT! UNLESS I KNOW WHAT KIND OF VAMPIRE BIT HER I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW! ALL WE CAN DO IS HOPE SHE MANAGES OWN HER AND MAKES IT!

Sighing out, he places a hand over his face and calms himself.

I know you're worried for the girl, I am too. Remember I'M the Doctor here. Maybe if you tell me how this happens why I stitch this wound up maybe I can figure out something.

Sighing out, Silver calms down as well, and tells him what happened. It takes him about ten minutes and just as he finishes with the last stitch he looks at him.

I see. But you relayed on the wolf in order to keep her safe hmm?

Yes, from what the bat told me it sounds like a misunderstanding but I don't know. Had she been awake at the time and backup everything then maybe I would have let them take her but right now. I don't know.

At the moment T-pup barks out wagging his little wired tail. It starts to blink red as Silver, Finitevus and Blaze look over at him as a small screen comes out of his back and he opens his mouth wide as a sort of speaker comes out of it. The screen turns on as static fills it and soon a golden yellow figure fills the screen. The figure sees this and sets down his tools he was working with and looks over.

Back at Castle Blood Moon Tails office….

T-pup, is that you boy? Did you find Eris?

Finitevus, Silver and Blaze look at one another as they look at the screen and it was then the other person sees them and stairs at them a moment. After such a moment they snap out of it as Finitevus takes over.

To WHOM do I have the pleasure of speaking with?

I'm Miles "Tails" Prower, but most call me Tails. Who are you?

I'm Doctor Finitevus of the Silver Crescent Moon Clan. I think I have the one named Eris you're looking for.

Is she alright?! We all have been worried about her since Phantom ran off with her!?

Finitevus looks at Silver, and Blaze worried as he nods at him to go on.

She is doing alright for now but I have a bit of a problem.

What do you mean PROBLEM?

Well as I was treating her I noticed a bite mark on her neck. But it looks as if it is becoming infected fast. I did my best to clean it out and stitch it but who or whatever bit her may have injected her with some sort of venom and… well from what Lord Silver told me about how a member of the Blood Fang clan BIT her….

You're assuming that it was one of us, right?

Yes I am. So can you give us some insight?

Well you would be right. It was Lord Shadow's younger brother Scourge. He was the one that did it. He was teasing her and it went too far to the point it scared her so much that she went into shock. Rouge, one of my other brothers Female pets, attacked him to try and save her, but in doing so she didn't know he was feeding off her and when she hit him with a chair it caused him to rip his fangs out of her neck, and I'm guessing that by doing so he ended up injecting her with his Venom.

So the bat was right in what she told me. FUCKING HELL!

Silver curses out in the background now regretting what he did. Finitevus looks at him and shakes his head why Blaze tries to calm her Master down. Finitevus looks back to the screen.

Anyway, we don't know how long his venom has been in her, but it's causing problems. Her heart rate is slowing down as well as her breathing. Something tells me when she ran from Silver it caused the venom to speed throughout her body and speed up the process. If you can tell me what kind of vampire this Scourge is I may have the Anti-Venom to save her life. Otherwise we may lose her.

Tails thinks for a moment then answers.

It's hard telling really. I'm kind of new to this family but give me a few moments.

With that he runs off as Finitevus, Silver Blaze waits. He runs out of his office and down the hallway. As he makes it to the main hallway just as Rouge and Shadow walk in. Shadow had recalled his demonic side back and was now once again back in his regular form. Tails skids to a halt and looks at him.

LORD SHADOW!

He looks up as his name was being called and sees Tails running down the staircase in a panic.

LORD SHADOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

TAILS WHAT THE MATTER!

IT'S ERIS SHE'S IN DANGER!

WHAT?!

I JUST GOT A TWO WAY CALL FROM T-PUP AND THE DOCTOR OF SILVER CRESCENT MOON CLAN. HE'S TREATING HER RIGHT NOW BUT THE BITE MARK FROM SCOURGE HAS BECOME INFECTED AND IT'S SLOWLY KILLING HER!

DAMMIT! I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN HER WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE! I WAS AFRAID OF THIS! ROUGE GO GET MY DAMN BROTHER NOW AND BRING HIM TO TAILS OFFICE RIGHT WAY! TAILS TAKE ME THERE AT ONCE!

RIGHT AWAY SHADOW!

ON IT MY LORDSHIP!

Tails leads Shadow up to his office as Rouge goes to get Scourge. As they near his office Shadow shoves him out of the way and runs in grabbing a hold of the screen yelling into it scaring the other two on the end.

YOU FUCKING WORTHLESS BASTARDS! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU DONE! SO HELP ME SHE DIES IN YOUR CARE I WILL RAGE WAR ON THE SILVER CRESCENT MOON CLAN AND I WILL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU! THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN TO! YOU WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS SILVER! DO YOU HEAR ME!?

Just then Tails walks in with Sonic who had helped him back in the hall as Tails Shoves Shadow out of the way glaring at him.

CALM DOWN SHADOW! YOU THREATEN THEM AND THEY JUST MAY LET HER DIE IN THEIR CARE! WE NEED SCOURGE IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT KIND OF VAMPIRE HE IS IN ORDER TO SAVE ERIS! I KNOW YOUR WORRIED SICK ABOUT HER. WE ALL ARE. BUT TREATING THEM WONT DO ANYTHING TO SAVE HER!

Growling out as Sonic holds him back, Tails looks to the two once more as Finitevus sighs out as Silver could be seen hiding behind him, and Blaze behind Silver.

Listen I'm trying my best here. But I can't do anything unless I know what kind of vampire your brother is Lord Shadow.

It was then that Rouge came in with Knuckles who had a hold of Scourge who was growling out and thrashing about.

HEY LET ME GO YOU STUPID MEATHEAD! RIGHT NOW!

Sure.

Knuckles shrugs and drops him right inside the room, both him and Rouge blocking the door as Rouge puts her hands on her hips and Knuckles folds his arms looking down at him. He sits up on an arm rubbing his head with the other as he looks up at him.

Gee, THANKS.

SCOURGE!

Scourge's eyes widen as he gulps out and his ears fall back against his head.

OH SHIT!

Before anyone knew it, Shadow was on him, holding him by his neck once again and slams him against a wall of the office leaving a dent in it his aura flares to life as Scourge tries to dig his claws into his arm to break free.

BROTHER...LET ME...GO!

GO ON ASK HIM NOW SO I CAN KILL HIM AFTERWARDS!

Sighing out and knowing it would do no good to try and reason with Shadow Tails goes over and talks with Scourge.

Scourge Eris is in danger of dying right now. We think when you ripped your fangs out of her after Rouge attacked you, you injected her with your venom and we need to know what kind of vampire you are in order to save her.

Scourge struggles, trying to breath. Tails rests an Arm on Shadows and looks at him.

Shadow, please let up. He can't breathe with you killing him right now.

Growling out he looks at Tails and he nods letting go. Scourge drops to the floor like a sack of potatoes and grabs a hold of his neck as he coughs.

I don't...know what...kind I am… I am… I didn't know I… had the kind of venom...in me… I swear.

Tails looks to Shadow worried as he looks down at his brother in shock.

If he doesn't know then what are we going to do? She's fading and I only give her two days tops before we lose her.

Didn't this happen before though?

Rouge looks at everyone worried.

Last time it happened it was Sonic. But his venom is different, nothing more than that of any other vampire. It is rare for a vampire to have two kinds of venom, and even then each kind is different.

Tails said.

Don't remind me Tails.

Sorry Sonic.

So what now?

Finitevus asks from the other end.

I'll have to extract his venom and try to analyze it and hope I can figure it out. But if his venom is that of a vipers, maybe we can make some sort of solution to a concoct some sort or Anti-Venom for her, and for future use.

How will you do that?

Rouge asks.

Well lets just say Shadow will enjoy how to get it out of him.

Tails folds his arms and looks down at Scourge with an evil looking smile, as Shadow's ears perk and he glances at him.

Tails?

Knuckles take him over to the table and strap him down, Sonic help him.

Scourge cowers as he looks over at Knuckles who walks over and cracks his knuckles smiling and picks him up by the neck and walks over and slams him down on table as Sonic runs around in a blur and straps him down. Scourge struggles as Shadow smiles clearly already enjoying what was to come. Tails looks at the screen and smiles.

You mind giving us a moment or two.

With that Tails turns the screen around and walks over to the table and Picks up a set of surgical gloves and puts them on.

Rouge roll over the X-Ray machine please.

She nods, clearly not liking where this was going, but rolls it over. He angles it enough to take an X-ray of Scourges head down to his collarbone. After a few moments he asks Sonic and Shadow to step to a white screen as he does the same two more times. After he gets what he needs he lines the X-rays side by side to compare them.

Just as I thought.

Tails?

As most should know, a vampire's venom sack is located in their head next to their thyroid glands. But with Scourge he has two sets.

Meaning what?

Shadow asks him annoyed.

We're going to need BOTH of them, meaning that Scourge will no longer be able to feed from his pets or hosts again, and you'll love this next part Shadow?

N-n-next part?

Scourge gulps as he starts to struggle again, as Shadow looks at him smiling as he is handed a scalpel, as Tails shows him where to cut.

I wouldn't struggle too much or he could end up killing you by mistake Scourge.

Tails looks down at him folding his arms. Rouge gulps as well as she starts to feel queasy and runs out of the office and down the hallway not wanting to watch. Knuckles looks to Shadow and he nods allowing him to go after her. Sonic stays should he be needed but looks away non the less. Not wasting another moment, Tails finishes where Shadow would need to cut and lets him at his brother. Shadow smiles down licking his lips as he holds the scapulae and smiles a deadly looking toothy smile.

Tails was right, I am going to enjoy this. Oh, and feel free to struggle, it doesn't matter if you die or not.

C-c-cant I get...some local anesthetic...P-P-PLEASE!

Sorry Scourge but if I did that then how would Shadow have his fun in punishing you for scaring Eris and putting her into a state of shock?

NO...NO...NO..NOOOOOOOOOO!

With that Shadow cuts into Scourge's neck as he screams out. After fifteen minutes Shadow was done and hands Tails the venom sacks as he licks off the blood from the scalpel before tossing it into the sink. After that was done he walked out of the office looking over his shoulder.

I'll leave the rest to you Tails. Save my pet.

I will Shadow don't worry.

With that he was gone to go clean up as Tails headed back to his desk and turned the computer screen back around as he smiles, rubbing the back of his head.

Is he done yet? Can I look now?

Yeah Sonic he's done now. So you can look.

Sonic turns back around and seeing the state Scourge was in he cringes back. Part of him wished he ran out with Rouge when he had the chance. But another part, a much bigger part, was pleased with what happened.

A befitting punishment if you ask me.

He says folding his arms looking at Scourge shaking his head at his pathetic state.

Sorry about that but we got what we needed. Once I can analyze his venom I'll call you back via T-pup. It shouldn't take but a few hours.

May I ask what happened back there?

Finitevus looks at Tails worried then to Silver and Blaze who were also wondering. Smiling Tails nods and turns the screen and they all cringe back.

Scourge crossed a HUGE line with Shadow and Caused his favorite pet harm. Not just harm but shock too. You see Eris is very special to Shadow, more than you could know, and anyone messing with her...well..

Tails Shrugs as he goes on.

Well let's just say that Scourge will now be feeding thru a straw for now on. One of the worst punishments a Vampire can endure. Worse than having one's fangs removed by force. Which I'm surprised….

Before he could finish what he was Saying Shadow comes back in and to a cupboard and takes out a pair of surgical pliers and walks back over to Scourge who was groaning out still in a daze from what happened. He sees Shadow and his eyes widen in shock as he he starts to struggle again as Shadow grabs a hold of the sides of his mouth and forces it open as he takes the pliers and takes hold of one of his fangs and gripping it he smiles down at his brother as he licks his lips as tears streamed down his face.

With an upward motion he yanks out his left fang first and blood goes flying across the room and hits Tails, Sonic and the screen, making Finitevus, Silver and Blaze hold onto one another as they watch. Tails sits there in shock and blinks a few times, as does Sonic as Shadow rips Scourge other fang out as even more blood goes flying. Once done he takes the Fangs and pliers and tosses them in the sink and walks out. No one says anything, should he come back, the only sound was the moans and sobbing of Scourge. After a moment Silver gulps as does Finitevus and Blaze, as he looks at Finitevus, then Blaze.

I-I-I think...I may...have pissed….off... the wrong...guy.

Ya THINK!?

You moron.

Finitevus, Sonic say at once as, Blaze calls him a moron. Finitevus looks at Silver annoyed as he pushes him off, as Blaze composes herself. Tails blinks a few more times before answering back.

I...stand corrected.

As do I. THAT is even more worthy of a punishment to bestow on him than having his venom sacks removed by force.

Taking a rag, Tails wipes off his face and screen before tossing it to Sonic and sighs out.

I'll get back to you Via T-pup and let you know what I find out. It shouldn't take but maybe a couple of hours to find something out, then from there we can figure out our next course of action.

Right Mr. Prower. Till then will keep a close eye on her for you and await your call.

Nodding, Tails ends the call and looks over at Scourge and sighs out as Sonic Stands there with his arms folded.

So what now?

Well lucky for him he will survive this ordeal. But as I was saying he will be drinking his meals from a straw for now on. For now could you at least get him SOMEWHAT clean up as I work on this and see what can be done.

If I had it MY way I'd leave him as is and let him suffer more.

Yeah well, I think he's had enough. The pain from having his venom sacks removed forcefully and his fangs will be more than enough.

Tisk..fine whatever. You're the doc so it's your call.

Sonic rolls his eyes and gets to work cleaning him up as Tails sets about working with Scourge's venom to find out what to do next. It takes him a good part of the night, till sunrise the next morning to get what he needs and sighs out. The results were not good. There comes a knock at his door as Shadow walks in and Tails looks up and sees him enter. He was in fresh clothing now as he stopped at the young Werefoxes side.

Well?

He sighs out shaking his head.

I tried everything Shadow. From what I can tell his Venom is like that of extremely rare Palomino Bloodlander Viper. I looked into it and sadly...Shadow I'm sorry but…

Tails don't you dare tell me…

The young Werefox looks up at him the pain and sadness clear on his face. Shadow looks at him for a long time as he turns to leave.

Where's Scourge?

Most likely in his room by now where I asked Sonic to take him. Why?

Shadow scoffs and walks out slamming the door behind him. Sighing out, Tails goes to call Dr. Finitevus back with the news.
