Chapter 2:

A strange connection

As the night grew darker a small fox could be seen running home,lost in his thoughts he wonder what had just happened.

'impossible!vampires aren't real!oh god...please tell me I'm dreaming!'he thought panicking,finally he made it home,he immediately shut and locked the door,he then caught his breath and lean against the door.

"no way...vampires….they….CAN'T be real."

"But...then again...how do I explain what just happen?",he wondered,he then remember the handsome blue hedgehog that had saved him from death,his green emerald eyes,his soft soothing voice,Tails blushed deeply from just thinking about him,

"what was his name?...sonic right?"he asked himself getting up and walking upstairs making sure he didn't wake up his parents.

"well...vampire or not,he is pretty handsome...I guess."he thought dreamly while blushing,Tails got to his room and shut the looked out the window,in search of his blue hero,but no one could be found,he sigh and decided to go to bed,thinking that this was all one big dream,but was unwary of the mystery figure watching him from the Shadows.

"Don't get your hopes up blue."said another figure next to him.

"I'm not...I just wanted to make sure he got him safety.",said the figure glaring at what appeared to be his friend.

"sure you did...anyway come on before the sunrises."said the figure leaving his friend behind,the other figure sigh.

"You probably think this is all a dream...an illusion,heh...I'll be back Tails...my little foxy prince",he said and disappeared once more into the darkness of the night.

...

The next morning tails woke up at the sound of his alarm clock,he groaned and shut it off,he yawn and immediately remembered what had happen last night,he got up and put on the same outfit he was wearing yesterday and grabbed his book bag and rushed down stairs,

"where's the fire son?"asked and man standing beside the stairway.

"oh!morning dad.",Tails said and then continued rushing down stairs.

"what's the rush son?you gotta date or something?"asked his father following him down.

"n-no...just gotta do something important."said the young fox,he looked at his mom who was making breakfast.

"mom,can I open the library for you?I gotta do some research on something." he asked happily.

"sure,but take something to eat with you.I don't want you skipping breakfast."she said handing her son the keys.

"okay,see ya dad."Tails said grabbing a bagel and rushing out the door.

"They grow up so fast."his mother said smiling at her husband,he smiled two loved their son very much,and wouldn't change anything about him.

...

Tails unlocked the library and started to read every book about mysterious creatures,trying to find out everything he could about wanted to believe it was all a dream,but kept denying it was those emerald eyes or that soft soothing voice that made him think it was real,whatever it was,it wouldn't make believe it was a sigh.

"so far I can't find any evidence that vampires exist...could it really be a dream?I mean...how can characters from a story instantly come to life?!and...that hedgehog…",Tails flipped to the page to the picture of his handsome blue savior.

"I...I have to meet him again."he said is desperation,he knew what he had to do to prove it was real and not a dream,he gulp at the thought of it,of standing in the darkness of midnight waiting for his hero to save him once more.

...

20 minutes to midnight,Tails got up and got grabbed a flashlight so that the vampires would notice him,he then quietly when downstairs so his parents couldn't hear him,he opened to door he began to have second thoughts,but then remember his blue hero.

"It's now or never."he said,and left into the darkness of the night.

Dong,Dong,Dong

The clock had finally struck midnight,Tails gulped and started to shake,he went to the place where he had met the blue vampire the other night,he stood underneath a street vampire with in a 20 mile distance could spot him now,looking helpless,the fox began to wonder that if he did meet his savior again,what would he say to him?

"should I introduce myself again?or maybe I should ask him where he came from."a million thoughts went through his mind,he really wanted to make a good impression,but then...he felt as if something or someone was watching him,a chill went down his spine,he turn around hoping to see his hero but only saw darkness

"Sonic?..."he said with his voice shaking.A sinister laugh was then heard in the distance.

"Oh please,I look nothing like that blue blur."said a remember this voice,he shaked in fear and search all around out of the darkness was the same black and red hedgehog he had seen the other night,but this time he came with a crew of vampires,he gulped and backed away in fear.

'Sonic...please hurry...I'm scared…'tails thought waiting for sonic to come and save him.

"but sir,isn't this the mortal that the prince told us not to harm?"asked one of the vampires not wanting to get in trouble.

"who cares what that blue prick says!I'm gonna get that fox's blood if it's the last thing I do!"said the black and red vampire,Tails gasped and immediately made a run for it,but shadow grabbed Tails with his speed and pinned him against a wall,Tails flashed the flashlight in his eyes and the hedgehog hissed and let him go.

"why you little!"the hedgehog smacked Tails across the face,causing him to fall to the ground and his flashlight to break.

Tears began to roll down the fox's cheeks,he whimpered and the hedgehog seem to enjoy his suffering,he once more pinned Tails against the building.

"Looks like your blue hero isn't gonna save you now." mocked the then pressed his fangs against Tails's neck about to sink them in

"Sonic...help me…,"tails thought still crying in fear of losing his life.

"SHADOW!"yelled a voice of anger,everyone turn around to see a blue hedgehog.

"your majesty!"said all the vampires bowing down except for the black and red hedgehog,he growled at the sight of sonic.

"put him down...NOW!"yelled sonic with rage,shadow looked at Tails in anger and released him,sonic dashed over to Tails to see if he was alright,Tails looked up at sonic and the two began to look into each other's eyes,sonic saw tears in Tails's eyes and a bruise on his cheek,he turned around and growled at shadow.

"s-sir...we had nothing to do with this!"said one of the vampires in fear.

"It's was all Shadow's idea!"said another of them,not wanting any trouble with the prince.

"Is this true shadow?"sonic asked.

"...yeah...it's true…"shadow said rolling his eyes,sonic came up to shadow and with no hesitation...punched him 10 times harder then he had smacked tails.

"You know what they say…an eye for eye."sonic said and walked back over to tails,Shadow glared at sonic as he began to bleed from his nose.

"now leave!all of you!"sonic demanded,all of the vampires left as fast as they could,well...all except for shadow of glared at the two for a second,then walked off into the darkness again sonic looked at Tails,tails smiled and gave sonic a tight hug,all his fear and sadness was now forgotten and he now enjoyed the warmth of his hero

"I knew you'd come."he said in a low voice,sonic blushed a bright red but hugged back,he felt Tails's soft fur and his warm body,the two enjoyed their embrace,it was as if they had some kind of...strange connection,Tails let go of sonic and smiled brightly,sonic looked away trying to hide his blush.

"so...what are you doing here?you know It's not safe at midnight."he said in a concerned tone.

"well...I just wanted to see you again."tails said in a shy voice while looked at sonic,Sonic looked at tails in surprise,he couldn't believe that he had the guts to come at midnight knowing that there were blood suckers on the loss.

"And if i ran into trouble I knew you would protect me."Tails said happily.

"you trust me?"asked sonic surprised.

"of course I do!you saved me twice and you even told your crew not to hurt me,I...didn't know you cared so much about me."Tails said bashfully,It was then sonic's muzzle turn as red as a tomato,he couldn't believe he was hearing this from a mortal,most mortals would want him dead but Tails seem to enjoy sonic's company.

"A-Anyway...wanna take a walk?"sonic asked lending out his hand,Tails blushed and held sonic's hand tight,he instantly didn't wanna let go,it was as if the two had a strange connection….hand in hand,the two began to walk through the dark together,Tails wasn't afraid anymore,he felt safe and secure around two spent hours talking and laughing,never wanting the night to end,but sadly...all good things must come to end,the sun began to rise.

"well...looks like I have to go."sonic said frowned and let go of sonic's hand.

"Same time tonight?"sonic asked,Tails's frown suddenly turn into a smile of joy and happiness after hearing those words.

"you bet!I'll be waiting same place tonight."Tails said was about to run off but sonic stopped him.

"wait...that bruse...your folks will see it."he said concerned.

"So?"tails asked,he really didn't care if his parents saw,but it did hurt a lot.

"I can heal it for you."Sonic said.

"you can do that?"asked tails alittle amazed.

"yeah….just...stay still."sonic said blushing,"Wh-"tails was then cut off and blushed madly from the sweet,passionate kiss on the cheek from sonic,once he pulled away the bruse instantly healed,Tails looked at sonic in surprise.

"well…...gotta go!bye!"sonic said dashing off blushing a bright red,Tails put his hand on his cheek and smiled,he sighed dreamly.

"See you tonight...my vampire prince.".
