A week earlier…

In a hotel room I sat up on the bed as a female hedgehog rolled over to look at me with loving eyes as I did not return the love in mine. She was just a hooker that only wanted the money and did whatever she had to in order to get it. Little did she know though, that would be a grave mistake as she climbed on to my back and began kissing me on my neck up to my mouth. I returned the kiss and laid her down on the bed as she removed the sheets revealing her naked body as she warped her arms and legs around me making me lay deep into her as she moaned in delight. I gently began kissing her breast and started working my way up to her neck.

"So…" she said in a seductive tone as I was kissing her body "Did I satisfy your needs?"

A smile came across my face as I continued to kiss her chest until I made it to her neck knowing that she just wanted to get paid.

"You have satisfy all my needs except one, a hunger in which you're about to satisfy." I said as my fangs came out

Before she could say anything I bit into her neck making her release a moan in pleasure and pain only to soon lose her voice. I felt her struggle as I drank her blood then she slowly stopped moving until her heart beat was no more and pulled away as blood trickled down my mouth as I was breathing heavily from a much needed meal that was now satisfied. Yet again I was forced to kill another to continue to live. I began pour gasoline everywhere as I took out a lighter, but before I could light it a knocking came from the door.

"Shadow are you in there?" a familiar female voice asked

Silently I walked to the door looking through the eyehole to see a bat girl with a pink hedgehog. This wasn't good as it was Rouge and Amy, but why are they here and how did they find me? I knew if I did my chaos control Rouge would've heard me, so instead I opened the window and went into the next room over. Then opened the door

"What?" I said darkly as I wanted them to leave immediately

They were taken back in surprise to find out they had the wrong room. Rouge however had a concern look, but knowing her she always had trusted the information she found or gathered and seeing that she had the wrong room had confused her.

"Well, you see Amy had asked me to help find you and that she wants you to do a job for her." Rouge said slowly as she had a worried look

"You, want me to do a job for you?" I asked Amy looking at her with fierce eyes

"Ye... ye… yes." She said nervously looking down to avoid my gaze

"Why should I?" I asked while glaring at her

Amy couldn't answer as she was trembling with fear and Rouge came closer to me whispering to me

"Shadow your scaring her and she wants you to do something that you would enjoy more than anything. Also you're bleeding."

I slowly wiped my chin then started licking my hand where the blood was for a second or two before stopping as Rouge and Amy were now staring at me.

"What is it that you want me to do exactly?" I said trying to get their attention off of me and taking interest in what her request though I wasn't showing it

"I… I want you to… to… beat the crap out of Sonic!" she said showing that it had hurt her to say it

I immediately lost all interest as narrowed my eye in disappointment and began to close the door until Amy stuck her foot in the way to stop the door from closing all the way.

"Please Shadow I beg of you." She pleaded

"And why should I? I would be more than happy to kick his ass, but let me guess he's with another girl and that's why you want me to beat him? Did he treat you badly in front of everyone and made you look like a horrible person that you wanted to seek revenge? Uh? Or was it something else? Why don't you tell me then?" I demanded as she was silent and looking down as her bangs were hiding her eyes

"Shadow…" Rouge said sadly

"WHAT?" I shouted in anger as I did not want to deal with this

"Everything you just said was what happened…" Rouge said sadly then gave Amy a sad look

The anger in me slowly faded as I saw her tears coming down

"Forgive me Amy, I…" I said before she rush up to me and gave me a kiss

Rouge gasped in surprise and shock as she held her hand to her mouth. I was lost completely in both as to why she had just kissed me. She slowly pulled away and came to my ear as I notice her change in mood completely. It was like she was a completely different person as she whispered to me

"Shadow, I still want you to do the job for me. I know you will do because only I know what you are or did you think you could cover your tracks forever, Mr. Vampire?"
