So here it is. I do not own Sonic or sega or any characters, all rights and characters belong to them.

He had stopped running, he was trying to stem the flow of blood from his chest, it was staining his blue fur a sickening purple and kept running through his fingers and falling to the ground in soft drips, the dirt was reddening as was his hands and the smell of blood permeated the area as Sonic hero of Mobius was taking shallow and wavering breaths. Tails was trying to think, to save him, to stop the blood flow, but it was useless, he was no doctor, and even if he had been he had nothing to work with, so he only held the hedgehogs head on his lap as he desperately tried to hold the blood from falling out, Knothole was to distant and running any more than he already had would only tear the wound further and spell immediate death for Sonic. Tails couldn't think, he had thick tears streaming down his face as he looked down at the hedgehog who had been a brother, all his hate for him had vanished when he was shot, it was replaced by worry, Sonic looked up into Tails bright blue eyes which were wet with tears and gave a smile. "Hey…lil bro, don't look so worried." He gasped it out and blood had come out with every second word, Tails was trying to shush him, begging him not to talk and save his strength, but Sonic ignored it and started talking again tears falling from his own green eyes as he held the smile and spoke through his blood stained lips.

"You ran so fast. If I'm not careful you'll be faster than me soon. I'm sorry Tails, …ACK..huff, huff, I wasn't the brother you deserved." He was coughing up more blood now and it was soaking into Tails lap as he tried to speak to Sonic, he couldn't get his voice above a whisper. "It's okay Sonic; you're the best brother I ever had. You always helped me and taught me to try and be a better person, to not give up or give in. I forgive you" Sonic's smile widened at the words, he was forgiven, it was what mattered most to him at this moment and another tear slid down his face and dampened the ground, he started coughing and more blood spattered out staining much of Tails white chest patch crimson. Sonic stopped and let out a shudder as Tails rubbed his back with his free hand, Sonic was going to die, the thought hit like a truck and a fresh stream of tears fell onto the Sonics face, Sonic spoke up, voice cracking and him choking on the blood as he tried to get it out. "Tai…ls…remember, that..ti…me in th, e hotspring….hat was my favourite….time. I wish…w…e could go..ba..k there." Tails couldn't let Sonic die, he was his brother, he meant so much, he couldn't die, the tears were running from both their faces now and the ground surrounding the two was awash of tears and blood, he had to think of something, anything to save Sonic, there had to be away. Tails replied, his voice caught in sniffles and tears. "Sonic, you…you were the best person I ever met, you made me want to help people, you made me believe that I could be the good guy, and it was all I wanted, to be like you. A hero who everyone respected, and loved because he always did the right thing. So Sonic DON'T DIE SONIC PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Sonic stirred and started to sit up, Tails applied more pressure to keep anymore blood from being lost, but it was futile effort, Sonic cast limp arms around Tails in a hug and Tails abandoned his grip on the wound and returned the hug, the blood was flowing free and it was falling in a thickened stream staining Tails and Sonic's fur further. Then Sonic's arms went completely limp as Sonic whispered one last thing into Tails ear before he fell sideways and the little light in his eyes fell to only a flicker. "I love you little bro" Tails couldn't take it, he was helpless, Sonic was almost dead and he couldn't do anything about it, he felt the weight of the world press in on him and could feel everything darken when a thought came to his mind, a desperate thought, he leaned in closely to see if it was still there, and it was, the faintest of breathing, he had a chance. He gingerly bit into Sonic's neck and restrained himself from taking a single drop of the blood himself, he let the saliva drip into the small pinprick sized holes he had made and sat back and waited. It was the longest shot, if he had thought of it sooner it definitely would have worked, but now he was unsure, Sonic wouldn't survive, he was already dead at this instant and as the last spark had left his eyes the world already seemed a darker place, but he would awake, he had too, he would awake and be just as Tails was, a vampire, it was all he could think of to save him.

So Tails continued to cover the wound and sat next to him and waited, it had taken a day for Tails to awaken, so he sat and waited, he spoke to the body, sharing a chuckle about brighter times, but it didn't respond, and so he continued to wait through the setting sun and through the burn of the early morning rays. His hope had faded but would not be extinguished, the wound had stopped bleeding and he held on, he held on for hope that Sonic would stir, that he would suddenly gasp in air and the all would be well, he held on for his brother who needed him. His legs were cramped beyond belief and his back ached and the sun was burning into him, but he refused to move, refused to abandon his brother, and it was about midday when he felt it, a faint stir on his hand. Tails eyes focused instantly and hope welled inside of him, he felt it again, and there it was his fingers twitched just slightly, his eyelids had just moved just moved, and then it came as Sonic's eyes flew open, a bloodcurdling scream of pain unimaginable. Tails instantly realized the mistake, Sonic was in sunlight and smoke was rising off the blue heroes form, Tails quickly picked him up and ran him into the shadows of the nearby trees and finally removed his hand from atop the wound, it was little more than a scar, it had healed during the transformation, and Sonic at last stopped screaming as he looked with red eyes directly into Tails cerulean blue eyes.

Tails snapped, tears of joy poured out of his eyes as he leapt into the embrace of the confused hedgehog, he threw a bone crushing hug around him and Sonic's mind finally clued in who it was hugging him, and he quickly returned the hug. They stayed that way neither wanting to let go and both fearing the other would disappear if they let go, eventually Sonic spoke with confusion in his voice as he ended the hug. "But how, I mean I remember dying, I remember everything going black and then I woke up and it hurt like hell." Tails was looking at his shoe, he had to tell him and it was not going to be a fun conversation, he raised a finger and blurted it out. "I made you a vampire so you're not dead, dead, just you know, undead, dead." Sonic fell over sideways, he couldn't believe it, he was a vampire, his brain was screaming, he quickly calmed himself and reminded himself that he was alive, sort of. He looked back into Tails eyes and could already tell the fox wanted another hug, sighing he opened his arms and the fox jumped into yet another bone crushing hug, Tails was ecstatic, Sonic was alive and that was all that mattered, until a thought hit him like a bat, Max shot Sonic. He pulled out of the hug and was about to run off and hunt Max down when he remembered how bad Sonic was right now, if he stepped into sunlight he would start screaming his head off, and if they ran into anyone who was alive it would be a bloodbath with Sonic now craving blood, he paused to consider his options and came up with a quick fix. "Sonic you stay here, whatever you do don't move. I'm going to grab us a couple of deer so we can get you calmed down." Sonic was confused, what did he mean by calmed down, he felt perfectly calm, that is until he caught a whiff of the pool of blood he had left behind in the clearing and prepared to charge into it, luckily Tails caught his arm and forced him to stay, and keep him from getting fried in the sun. Sonic eventually stopped struggling when he remembered what the sun had done to Tails, Tails let go and again told him to stay as he bolted into the woods using his sharp senses to quickly track down deer.

Sonic was alone, and the blood was so close and it smelt so good, it filled his nostrils and his mind was suddenly filled with chilidogs coated and dripping with blood, he started weighing in his mind if he would be fast enough to run out and get a drink before it started to burn, his thought was interrupted when Tails came back through the bush with three large deer on his back, he set them down in front of Sonic he quickly bit into the first one and began a mad blood frenzy. At the end of it a sizeable pile of bones were on one side of the clearing and a very blue and red hedgehog was licking his fingers, cleaning every drop of blood he could of himself, in the middle of his frenzied meal Tails had left to grab more deer and returned again with three more and the carnage started again, Sonic let out a loud and contented burp and Tails looked a little grossed out. Tails was wondering how it was possible for anything to eat that many deer in 14 minutes, it had been a disturbing sight to witness, but Sonic now looked normal with his deep green eyes, aside from the blood he was still trying to lick off his shoe that is. Tails cleared his throat to get Sonic's attention and then started. "I hope you're feeling better now, but please never do that again, you should try to be careful controlling your hunger or when you run into someone you might hurt them." Sonic was taken aback as he considered what he just did, he looked at the pile of bones and the blood which had literally turned the grass into a swamp of horror, his ears lowered and his shoulders sagged but Tails was quick to throw an arm around his shoulder and perk him up. "Come on don't get that down, I was just saying be careful is all, now I want to go pay a visit to Max and ask him some very important question at claw point" Sonic's back went straight as pole as he grabbed Tails shoulders a sudden look of fear in his eye. "Tails, we have to move quick, Sally, Rotor and Bunny were all on that transport, you don't think….." he trailed off, he prayed he wouldn't get there late and him and Tails quickly took off in the direction of Robotnik's fortress where they were prayed the transport would still be along with all of their friends. Little did they know at this instant their friends were being place into cells at the bottom most portion of Robotnik's fortress as Max was preparing for the arrival of Tails and Sonic, he had the same grim smile on his face he spoke to himself as he stared out the window. "It really is to hard being the good guy"
