Chapter 1: the hunt is on
"You bitch" that was all that escaped my blood stained mouth, a night sniper had struck me across my face. The smell of blood was rich and fresh, a grin was spread across my hungered lips.
"Oh my favourite snack a sniper with a temper" knuckles words were as dark as the night its self.
The flesh of the night sniper was all but rich in taste even the blood in which it held made a worthy meal, but first we had to shoot its poor excuse for a beating heart and then we would eat the unworthy foe.
Again the snipers' sword like talons were taking aim but this time we had the element of surprise…"NOW" the red echidna was all but a blur, he used his samari sword to slice the unwary victims body in half, it took a mere second for the sniper to realise his death had come…the body was indeed dead but the demon like eyes never closed.
Knuckles was standing over the well deserved prey, he licked the corner of his sword, the red liquid stained his carnivorous fangs… I approached.
"I see you like the new toy"
"You were right it did make an easy victim"
"And the taste?"
"Ha it's just fast food…it's the bigger prey I'm after"
We both kneeled down to the carcass and we began to drain the oozing blood, are fangs were bared in the body's weak spot which was the neck and the leg. The sound of flesh being torn and plasma being drained filled me with pleasure because it was a step closer into fulfilling our mission. Once the liquid was completely drained we simply began ripping the meat like a pack off wolves, indeed we were famished but this would give us the strength to go on the quest and destroy Beast. The smell of death, it was beautiful, and the stained grass was like an art to us. The forest clearing was eerie but we kept on feeding….
The cold was so welcoming to its victims and we loved every minute of it.
In a few hours the body of the night sniper was completely savaged, nothing was spared. The kill was only the beginning and we had our sights set on bigger prey.
I wiped the remaining blood from my lip.
"Let's move, the night is still young my friend…the hunt is on"
Knuckles was sniffing the air, the smell of ash and spilled blood was faint but it was there, even my acute sense of hearing was picking up a heart beat of an innocent and the rhythm was fading.
"Looks like they've got an unfortunate soul"
My reply came fast and cold "it's time for the hunt"
My ally just nodded and cleaned his blade with his bare hand. We followed the scent and we came across the village, the location we found our selves in was deserted but one of my senses new something was amiss. We needed no light to see, our night vision was indeed strong and like a bat we had sonar…
A dead body flopped in front of us. we looked ahead of us to see the culprit .
"DEMON, YOU LIFE SUCKING BASTARD"
This time it was my turn to get pissed, Demon was a built up porcupine and had a large silver over coat, his facial expression was very plain but cruel.
"humph, you call me the bastard, ha you know Master always had a thing for you and your friend, but I have no time for games" He licked his stained teeth
"oh your death will not come quick"
"shadow, you know better then that, don't let your anger get the best of you"
"you better listen to that echidna, because I won't hold back, let the demons become one with me" He ran trying to make his escape.
"give chase and kill him or use the body as bate?"
My eyes showed an ember burning within then, now was the time to get my revenge on the one who took my soul and transformed me into one of them
"listen echidna, he's mine……"
