Chapter 7

Sonic and co. walked through the door, just in time to hear some one running upstairs. Amy clung to Sonic.

"eeekkk, what was that?...maybe this house really is haunted..."

Tails walked up to Amy and pulled her off Sonic.

"Amy its just the house, its just really old, all of the noises can be explained, if you have any concern just ask me ok?"

Amy nodded her head. The six of then started to walk upstairs when they heard more running. Amy clung to Sonic yet again.

Shadow stood in the hallway, behind the boards, and looked back before he turned down the hallway to find Kylee. It was pitch black down there, and it had no light switches so he had to walk in the dark. he walked past two rooms on either side of the short hallway looked in both of them, but no Kylee. there were spiral stairs at the end and he walked down them

"Kylee, where are you?" Shadow finally made it to the bottem of the spiral stairs. Just a few feet in front of him was an old erie doorway, like one you would find in an old haunted castle. he looked around the room, all the walls were black and the stairway was in the middle. Shadow walked up to the door and nocked on it

"Kylee?" He pushed the door open, and it was like walking into a castle, but underground. All the lights were on. to the right was the entrance to the ball room, to the left, a huge kichten. a set of stairs lead up to another big door but a lot cleaner. Stairs lead left and right from that piont, Shadow walked up the stairs and turned right, up more stairs and to the second floor. there was another door there to, so he opened it and looked at the huge room. There was a big blue velvit canipy bed at the far left of the room and a big balcany at the far right. In the right corner there was a big 72' plasma TV on an angle and a light blue velvit couch, with matching arm chairs beside it. In the left corner was a big chess set. The middle of the room had a big rug, a pretty light blue with dark blue swirls. He looked up at the chandlear It was golden, and shiny. He walked over to the balcany and there was an enormas garden, all of it looked so real, but it was a pianting Big montains at the far end, a maze, and two chairs with a table, at the center flowers everywhere and a pool. Shadow turned and left, closing the door behind him. He used his shoes to fly over to the other side. He looked in that room. It had gray wall paper, and only a lone bed in the corner, also gray and black, there was a fake window, outside painted as a black stomy night, with black kertains, that were torn and ripped. there was no light switch, there were cobwebs everywhere. He backed out of the room and shut that door. walking down the stairs he stood in front of that door. He pushed it open, and there was a library, so big there had to be every book ever writen in there. Shadow walked over to the only table in the whole library and was about to sit down, but the he saw a hallway to the left. he walked down it and came to a door

"How big is this place?..." he said as he opened it "big" he was at the place he saw in the picture, but it was all real and instead of just mountains there was a beach on the other side of the flower field with a huge clear lake. the sun and was real. the sky was real... Shadow looked back at the castle, it was there, the whole thing.

"That door, it was a portal, because there is no way that all of this is underground..." he looked over at the mountains surrounding the whole place.

"Its like one of the wonders of the world"

Shadow stood there for a bit before he remambered why he was there in the first place.

"Kylee!" He ran back to the castle and into the library. then he seen the only place in the whole castle he hadn't checked, another hallway opposite to the one he was just in. He ran over and opened the door to a world of utter choas. the sky was red, black and gray, it was raining and there was thunder and lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, twisters. And bugs, they were every where! The ground was black and there were the remains of trees and such.

"Kylee!" he yelled "Kylee!" there was a weak answer, coming from a big burn tree.

Shadow ran over and kicked the top off.

"Kylee!" he found her, but she was cut and bleeding.

"S-shadow is that you.." he could bearly hear her.

"Its ok your going to be fine..." Shadow said as he picked her up in his arms. He started toward the castle but something tripped him. He dropped Kylee and some big bird picked her up. It was a phinox, but pure black. He got up and jumped for it. Shadow grabbed its tail feathers, causing it to shreek in pain. It dropped Kylee and Shadow followed. he made it to the ground before her, barly breaking her fall. he grabbed her hand and used chaos control to warp into the library. They both fell to the floor, Shadow got up weakly, from using chaos control, plus that fact he hadn't had any blood in the past day. He looked over at Kylee who had fainted from to much blood loss. He picked her up and walked to the entrance of the castle. he had to find a doctor and fast.

Sonic sleeping on the couch with Amy. Cream and Tails slept on a blanket in the corner of the living room. Rouge was in Shadow's room and Knuckles was in Kylee's. Shadow was about to pass through the boards, when he thought of something.

'what if they suspect me of doing this, the probably will unless...' he looked at kylee 'unless I make it look like the vampire did this to her, the towns people belive vampires eggsist, but they wouldn't think of me as the vampire, I always stay here! They probably don't even remember i'm here...perfect' Shadow leened Kylee against the wall, and bit into her neck, but not to hard, so she wouldn't lose anymore blood. then he picked her up and slipped throught the boards and ran out the front door and towards town. He ran to the hospital emergancy section and up to the front desk.

"you've got to help her!" the nurse took one look at the bit marks and called for a doctor to report to room 113.

"Follow me" the nurse ran to room 113 with Shadow right behind her. "but her on the bed" Shadow did as he was told

"Now, Shadow I think you should leave, the doctor is with GUN-" Shadow used chaos control, with what power he had left, leaving the nurse to look after Kylee.
