( A/N Thanks once again for the reviews, I will try to fix Cream's spelling, ad I hope you enjoy chapter 3!)
Tails woke up the next morning with a stretch and a yawn to find Cream still asleep on his lap. Everyone else was most likely awake because their seats were all empty. Tails peered out the window to see they were still flying through the cloudy sky.
Cream awoke only seconds later and stood up straight in her seat. She yawned and looked over to Tails.
"Good morning Tails, did you sleep well? I've never slept on a plane before. It was kind of weird." said Cream.
" I haven't either, but yeah , I guess I slept all right." Tails replied.
Cream got up and looked down the aisle way, nobody could be seen.
"Tails, where is everybody, do you think we arrived and they left us on the plane?" Cream said with a frightened voice.
"I doubt it, we are still flying from what I can tell." he replied with a yawn.
"Come on Tails, lets go find the others" Cream said grabbing Tail's hand.
Cream pulled Tails through a door that led to another part of the plane. They walked down the aisle and after a bit of searching through the different aisles, they found everybody. Knuckles, Rouge and Shadow were in the back of the plane and Sonic and Amy were near the front with Lucius and Veronica.
"Excuse me Mister Dracanula, but do you know when we will be landing, I'm feeling a bit queasy." inferred Cream.
Lucius motioned toward the window which most likely meant to look out the window. Cream walked over to the window and saw an airport not too far off.
"Thank you mister Dracanula." said Cream.
"Please call me Lucius." he replied.
Cream and Tails sat down in a seat not too far from Lucius, Veronica, Sonic, and Amy. In a couple of minutes, the captain asked for all the passengers to fasten their seatbelts for the decent towards the ground. Cream was turning from orange to green as they went towards the ground. Luckily she managed to keep her lunch down in her stomach.
As soon as the plane landed the passengers were given permission to alight from the plane. Everybody filed down the stairs and soon had there feet planted firmly on the ground, which seemed like a great relief to Cream.
Veronica and Lucius had some of there servants take care of all the luggage and they were soon all leaving the airport.
Amy was looking in every direction and finally turned to Lucius and Veronica.
"Um, Lucius, where exactly is your car?" she asked.
"Oh, we don't have a car. We walk everywhere we go. We will be taking a forest path home so stay in a group. We don't want any of you lost." Veronica answered.
Tails gulped rather loudly at the thought of entering a dark forest path in Transylvania while they were on their way to Dracula's castle.
This seemed to have dawned on Amy and Cream also because they looked frightened as well. Sonic, Knuckles, and Rouge just looked around nervously for a second and then shook it off. Shadow of course, had no expression at all.
"Well, let us not stand here forever. Into the forest!" said Lucius.
Lucius motioned for his servants to follow and they were soon out of the airport. Tails turned his head in every direction curiously, but didn't see a forest path anywhere.
Lucius and Veronica paid Tails no mind and kept walking.
After what seemed like hours. Lucius and Veronica went off the road onto a forest trail.
Everybody seemed glad to get in the shade, they were all tired and sweaty from the long walk.
When they entered the forest everybody was in a tight group except for Veronica and Lucius, whose dark silhouettes could barely be seen through the darkness. Every now and then there would be the sound of a twig snapping or the soft rustle of a bush.
After being in the woods for a while, there was a loud smacking noise and a yell.
"What was that?" said Tails with a frightened voice.
"Nothing, just keep going, I want out of these woods as soon as possible" said Knuckles.
About an hour or so later, light was once again shed on the path and everybody saw the humongous castle looming before them. It was almost sunset and everybody was tired from walking all day along.
"We are finally here, now to escort you to your, what?" Veronica had been tapped on the shoulder by a servant. The servant whispered something in Veronica's ear and Veronica nodded,
"I'm sorry to say this, but the rooms you are staying in had an accidental cave in when we were trying to fix it up before your arrival. My servant has told me though, you can all share one large room, that would be the ballroom. They already have your beds set up. My servants will escort you and your luggage to your rooms." Veronica told the group. Having said that, Veronica and Lucius entered the castle leaving them alone.
"Please follow us" one of the servants said.
They all entered the large castle and looked around wide eyed. The place was creepy as hell!
It was slowly decaying, with moss and cracks on the high ceiling and dust and cobwebs on the lower walls. It made them wonder what the servants did all day long.
"Is it safe for people to live here with how much it's decaying? I mean, a room caved in! That can't be safe!" said Rouge.
"On the contrary miss, the castle is quite safe. The accident with your rooms was from improper construction. You see, we were attempting to restore your room. We are one hundred percent sure you will be safe in the ballroom." replied the servant.
"We all have to share a room though! That's not usually done in the U.S in case you didn't know." said Shadow.
"We are sorry, but it is all we could do." replied the servant.
Everybody had uncomfortable looks on their faces except Shadow (of course) and Knuckles who seemed to think it wasn't going to be that bad.
After walking through several twisting corridors, they finally came to a pair of large doors with stained glass windows at the top area. The servants opened the doors and set the luggage against a wall.
The group walked in and stared in awe.
The ballroom was huge, stained glass windows, old fashioned furniture, and a grand piano were all within the glorious room. There were several bunk beds set out for the group to sleep in.
The servants left quietly and left the group in the room alone.
The boys all took beds on one side of the room and the girls on the other. Amy was on the top of a bunk with Cream below her. Rouge was alone on a bunk at the bottom. Knuckles and Shadow were fighting over a top bunk while Sonic took the top of another bed and Tails called bottom.
"Why should you get top bunk?" said Shadow.
"Because I was here first!" replied Knuckles.
"Your point?" said Shadow.
"I don't need a point! Move your ass!" yelled Knuckles shoving Shadow off the top bunk.
Shadow attacked Knuckles back, and soon Knuckles and Shadow where in a huge brawl. Each one was biting, scratching, tearing skin, and dive bombing each other.
The fight went on for a while until it was interrupted by the only one that seemed to care.
"Quit fighting and just flip a fricken coin!" yelled Tails.
Knuckles and \shadow reluctantly stopped fighting and flipped a dime.
"Heads!" said Knuckles.
"Tails!" said Shadow.
The coin landed on the ground.
"I win, in your face!" said Knuckles as he climbed onto the top bunk.
Shadow got on the bottom bunk with a death glare aimed towards Knuckles.
Rouge rolled her eyes and pulled a flashlight out from her bag.
Amy was looking around nervously and clutched her own flashlight tightly.
"What was that thing in the woods? It sounded…………..weird." whispered Amy.
Rouge glared at Knuckles and then stared at a wall.
"Knuckles decided to scare the crap out of me on purpose."
"Bullshit, I didn't do anything!" yelled Knuckles.
"Oh yeah, sure! Who else would come up to me and pull down my shirt! You were the closest to me!" yelled Rouge.
"I'm not a pervert like you think!" yelled Knuckles.
"Whatever." mumbled Rouge.
(A/N You like it? I made this one kinda long. Ewwwwwwww, Knux is a perv! Nah probably not. I'm thinking about it. I had huge writers block, make it stop! I kno this is out of the subject, but have you seen the Potter Puppet Pals? Bother bother! I'll try to do the next chapter quickly.)
