Chapter 5: Blood Frenzy
That night, Sonic was tossing and turning, having nightmares. He saw himself drinking the blood of innocent people and killing them, among other things that he did. Suddenly, he felt someone shaking him and snapped his eyes open, looking at Shadow. Shadow had been about to tell him that the sun had just set, but he froze at the sight of Sonic's eyes.
They were blood red. Shadow also saw that Sonic's skin was pale and his fangs and grown longer. The vampire grinned and advanced towards Shadow, who tried to run, but the door behind him closed on its own instantly as Sonic snapped his fingers. Suddenly, Shadow looked into the swirling red eyes and felt himself being hypnotized before he felt sharp fangs pierce his neck.
Shadow struggled vainly to escape, but Sonic didn't let go. "S...Sonic..." He weakly said.
Once Sonic had enough blood, he dropped Shadow and opened the door, then ran out into the house to feed. He crept through the hallway, looking for prey. The vampire saw Tails in his lab and snuck up on him. However, as he did so, his foot struck a table, knocking a wrench to the ground with a clang. Tails whirled around and saw Sonic. His eyes widened in fear as he saw the vampire.
"Sonic! What are you...?" Horrible realization crossed his face. "Oh no...the blood frenzy! Shadow...! Silver!" He ran out of the room, looking for Shadow and Silver. Sonic grinned and followed him. As Tails ran into the living room, he saw Silver sleeping on the couch. "Silver! Wake up!"
The psychic hedgehog groaned and opened his eyes. "Tails...what's going on?"
"Sonic, he's on the hunt!"
Silver's eyes widened as he saw the vampire behind Tails. "Look out!" He yelled.
Tails turned around and saw Sonic. He tried to escape but it was too late. However, just as Sonic was about to grab him, Silver pushed him aside, only to be grabbed by Sonic instead.
The vampire grinned and plunged his fangs into Silver's neck, drinking his blood. Silver yelled in pain. A few minutes later, Sonic threw him to the ground and turned his sights on Tails but then saw Shadow.
Shadow had stumbled down stairs, now he stood protectively in front of Tails. "Sonic! You have to stop this! Control yourself! I don't want to have to fight you!" Shadow had already gathered a Chaos Spear in his hand, in the event that Sonic attacked him again.
The vampire glared at him and hissed, baring his fangs, then ran out of the house. Shadow sighed but then felt dizzy and fell unconscious. Tails ran up to him and saw the bite marks on his and Silver's necks.
"Oh no...Sonic bit them both. I need to examine them...I don't know how much venom he injected them with."
Tails sighed and went down to his lab, grabbed the scanner, and ran up to examine Silver and Shadow.
After he examined them, he was shocked to discover that both of them had large amounts of venom in their systems. This is Sonic's first night as a vampire...he's releasing much larger amounts of venom than normal, Tails thought.
That meant they would transform tomorrow morning. He sighed and looked outside, wondering what Sonic was doing.
Sonic was feeding, hunting anything he came across. He ran out into the city and smelled people's blood, then lunged and bit people that he saw, drinking their blood and killing them. The vampire had blood covering his mouth but sniffed and continued to feed. A pink hedgehog was taking a walk in the town park when a scream caught her attention, causing her to turn around.
She screamed as she saw two people in front of her. One was a hedgehog that looked like was drinking someone's blood! The victim groaned and fell to the ground, dead. The vampire hedgehog looked up and her and she saw that it was Sonic. Blood was all over his face and he had long pointed fangs that had blood on them also. He advanced towards Amy, who backed away and ran. Suddenly, Sonic was right in front of her and she gasped in shock.
She looked into his blood red eyes even as she felt his fangs pierce her throat. "S...Sonic...what? Why...?"
The vampire said nothing and kept drinking her blood. Amy felt herself getting weaker until her breathing slowed to a halt. Sonic ripped his fangs out of her neck and watched as she toppled to the ground, her lifeless body pooling blood.
Suddenly, Sonic began to shiver, then he grabbed his head as a wave of pain ripped through it. He fell to the ground and groaned, then stood up and gasped.
"Oh God...what have I done?" He asked himself, looking around at all the dead bodies. Sonic growled in anger and then ran off to his house, hoping everyone was still there.
