(WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Sorry, I had to do that. Anyways, chapter ten! WHOOT! I think I'll try to extend Kyras visit cuz she's a cool character. By the way, I was reading through all the reviews again for the heck of it, and saw that a lot of you spelled vampire wrong. One more thing, I guess I'm sorry for bashing on Amy like that, I'll try to avoid doing that anymore. I still hate her though, you just don't have to hear about it. And don't worry, I'm not killing Amy. Okay then, enjoy!)
Everybody was safely back inside the castle sitting on their bunks. It had begun to storm outside and everybody was shivering under their covers.
Knuckles and Rouge were back, but neither of them would say anything.
As a matter of fact, nobody was saying anything. They were all listening intently for the sound of footsteps. Tonight was the first bonfire night, and everybody was eager to find out what it would be like.
Cream was drawing something on a piece of paper. Amy jumped down from her bunk to look at Creams drawing.
"Is that Cheese and Chocola?" asked Amy remembering the two chaos.
"Yes, I miss them a lot. I left them with a friend of mine, but I can't contact her from here because we are so far away. I'm so worried about them." sighed Cream.
"Come on Cream, what is the worse that can happen? They'll be fine. Anyways, that's a cute picture." she said in an attempt to cheer Cream up.
"Yeah, I guess I can just relax a bit. They'll be fine."
Just then, the sound of footsteps drew near the ballroom. Everybody's attention was drawn towards the door to the hallway. It opened slowly, and in walked the servants of Lucius and Veronica.
"We are very sorry, but tonight's bonfire will have to be canceled." said a servant girl. "We are sorry, but the rain is too heavy. If the rain is gone by tomorrow, we will have the bonfire then."
Without saying another word, they left the room.
"Awwww, I really wanted to hear some scary stories." said Tails.
"Don't worry Tails, I'm sure we can tell our own stories. How about it, anybody wanna try to freak us out?" asked Sonic.
"I've got a story!" cried Amy jumping up and down in her bunk.
"Is it a SCARY story?" asked Sonic.
"Yes it is I promise!" nodded Amy.
"Ok then Amy, tell us the story."
"Well, it started a bit like this…"
-story-
Amy was sitting on a bench in the middle of an empty park. She was looking around cheerfully admiring all the scenery. As she looked around, she noticed a forest path. She decided that she needed to stretch her legs, so she got up and walked down the path.
As she went down the path, everything became less lively. The grass slowly turned from luscious green, to dry brown. The leaves of the trees began to disappear and now cluttered the path. Amy decided she must not be on park land anymore and should turn back. But when Amy turned back, the path was gone and replaced by more dead trees.
Amy gulped loudly. "I-I-I must have wandered from the path. I'll probably figure out where I am once I get off of this path." Amy stuttered.
She followed the path, but didn't come to an exit. What was weirder was that according to Amy's watch, it should have been dark by now. Yet the eerie orange sun shone through the dead forest. Something suddenly caught Amy's eye.
Not far off the path was an old shack. "There might be someone there that could help me out of this place." thought Amy.
She rushed towards the house, but before she could, she suddenly stopped she thought she heard something, it got louder. Somewhere in the distance, there was a high voice chanting "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary….". It kept getting louder, and louder, and louder. Soon, Amy was surrounded by the voice chanting "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary..". Amy was looking around anxiously. She ran for the house.
She locked the door behind her, and the voices stopped. Amy leaned against the door with a sigh of relief.
Amy got up and looked around. There was a mattress on the floor next to a small table. On the other side of the room was a boarded up cabinet. Amy walked towards it and pulled off the rotting boards.
She slowly opened the cabinet doors. In it, was a mirror. In the mirror was a little dead girl who smiled and whispered "Bloody Mary.". Amy screamed loudly and then…….woke up.

"Did you really dream that?" asked Tails who was hugging his pillow.
"Yeah, it was scary!" shivered Amy.
"Yeah, well I have something even scarier" said Knuckles with a grin.
-story-
A long time ago, a little girl used to live with her rich uncle by a lake. Every day, she would walk out to the pier and sit at the edge, looking at hr reflection in the water. The girl, had a stepbrother who loathed her more than anything in the world. He would always abuse her and taunt her, but the girl was afraid to tell her uncle.
One day, she was sitting by the dock, fiddling with a rope used to tie boats to the dock. Her stepbrother approached her from behind and grabbed the rope. He put it around her neck and in seconds, she was strangled to death and thrown into the deep, murky waters of the lake.
Well, years later, the girl's death became part of an urban legend. And there were two kids, a girl and her brother, going out to the lake to live with their rich uncle over the summer. When they told their friends, they all said "Did you know that their lake is haunted, by this girl who was murdered by her own brother? Her body is supposed to be down there at the bottom of the lake, but nobody knows where. They've dragged the lake a billion times, but haven't found anything. Rumor is, the girl tries to drag people down to the lake and drown them, hoping that she will soon have revenge on the guy who killed her, her brother."
But they both just shrugged it off and called it another urban legend. You know, like the guy that eats pop rocks, then drinks soda causing his stomach to explode. Or the girl that roasted herself from the inside out from going to the tanning salon too many times in one week.
Anyways, when they went to the lake, they were swimming out there one day. The girl was climbing onto the raft, when she felt something grab her leg. She shook it off and yelled for her brother to stop it.
Then she noticed him hanging on the edge of the dock trying to fix his goggles. She was a bit scared, but didn't tell anybody. The next day, the girl and her brother were sitting on the raft. The brother noticed something below the raft. He peered through the boards of the raft and saw a girl, but not a normal girl. Her hair lay matted on her face, and she was dead and decaying.
After that, the brother and sister didn't go out to the lake for a while, until a week later.
Then, they were with their uncle. They were all sitting on the raft when the brother said he had to use the restroom. So he jumped of the raft and began to doggie paddle his way to the dock. About halfway there, a hand reached out of the water and pulled the brother under. By time the uncle and sister had arrived, they knew he was gone.
The sister told her uncle about the other times when they saw the girl. Sadly, the uncle led her to the house and showed her a picture album. It was filled with pictures of a young girl sitting on the edge of a dock, or walking through the forest with her uncle. Then, they came across a picture of the girl with her stepbrother. The weird thing about the picture was that the boy looked just like the recently drowned brother. He also looked EXACTLY like the uncle had, when he was that young.
-story end-
"That story was freaky." shivered Cream.
"Yeah, do you think that there could be a girl haunting the lake by the castle?" asked Tails.
Knuckles grinned an evil grin.
"Well, I was swimming around at the bottom with my old air necklace earlier today. I might have seen a dead body or two…"
Both Tails and Cream were shaking under the covers now.
Just then, a howling wind blew through the entire castle leaving it pitch black.
There was a loud shriek from the girls side that sounded like Creams and the sound of somebody bumping their head on the bunk above them. Tails flipped on his flashlight, which he had under his pillow, and scanned the room using his light. Cream was shaking violently under her covers and Amy was holding her pillow tightly. Knuckles had jumped from his bunk with his fists up and Shadow was rubbing his head (he must've been the one who hit his head).
In a few minutes, everybody had out their flashlights and Shadow had a large bump on his head.
"What was that?" asked Cream.
"It was the girl from the lake, coming to get you!" said Knuckles in a ghost-like voice.
"Don't scare her knuckles!" cried Tails. "There is no girl in the lake."
"How do you know?" asked Knuckles.
"Because it's only an urban legend." replied Tails.
"Really?" Knuckles turned towards the door and turned pale. "BLOODY MARY!" he yelled.
Tails, Cream, and Amy screamed. Knuckles laughed.
"That wasn't funny Knuckles!" yelled Kyra.
"I bet you got just as scared." he replied.
Kyra chucked a pack of batteries at him hitting him square in the head. Knuckles threw them back and missed.
"Come on guys, lets just go back to bed. Stop scaring everyone Knuckles." said Sonic.
Everyone got under the covers ad flipped off their flashlights.
(God, I'm obsessed with urban legends now. Anyways, yay! Bloody Mary is my favorite urban legend. Its when you go into the bathroom, turn the lights off and stand in front of the mirror chanting Bloody Mary three times. Then she appears in the mirror and drags you in. MUAHAHAHAHA! Anyways…………. I'll try to finish up the next chapter soon! Yay for random people, use the Schwartz, blah blah blah. BYE!)
