Chapter 10
Getting The Blood Sorted
Sonic and Sally walked through Knothole toward Dr Quack's big hut. It was more like a house than a hut with a few beds in it for the wounded. A closet for supplies, a reception desk to put up appointments and other things inside the house. Sally and Sonic headed into the house through the doors and up to the receptionist. She was a female pink mongoose with red hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a blue skirt with deep blue jeans underneath and a light blue zipped up jacket.
Sally and Sonic walked up to the desk and the mongoose finally noticed them. "Welcome to Dr Quack's clinic for the wounded how may I help you? Oh! Hi, Princess Sally, Sonic. What brings you two here?"
"We wish to speak with Dr Quack?" Sally said to the mongoose. "Can we please see him?"
The mongoose bit her lip. "He's a bit busy right now, I think, Princess. If you come back later he might be…" she was cut off when Dr Quack came over to the three and yelled the mongoose's name.
"Madeline! I am not busy right now, am I?" Dr Quack said.
Madeline turns to look at Dr Quack in shock and shakes her head, "No, sir."
Sonic chuckles and Dr Quack raises an eyebrow at her. He looks at Sonic and Sally with a smile as the receptionist leaves with her head bowed low in embarrassment. "Madeline, you may take your break now if your wish." She nods as she leaves and Dr Quack goes over to the desk and sits at it. "Now, what is it that you two need?"
"Can we speak with you in private, Dr Quack? It's a very private matter regarding Sonic and what happened during the last mission."
"Aah! Yes! Your Freedom Fighters gave me the so-called 'heads up' about the 'blood program' for the wounded," Dr Quack said.
Sally nodded at him and looked around before speaking again, seeing that no one was around to hear, "Did they tell you anything else?" Her voice was low so as not to grab unwanted attention.
"Not other than what they have already told me," he told her.
"Well, the blood program isn't just for the wounded, Doc," Sonic whispered with a sigh. His arms folded across his cold chest. Sally put a hand on his shoulder and bit her lip of how cold it was.
"Who is it for? And why are we whispering?" Dr Quack asked.
Sonic sighed as his shoulders slumped, "Me. They're for me because … I'm a … va…vam…vampire and I need it to survive."
The yellow duck's eyes widened considerably as he only thought that vampires were scary stories told to naughty children if they didn't go to bed.
"But only half will go to Sonic, the other half will go to the wounded," Sally told the doctor.
Dr Quack nodded his head, "Yes. That is good. So, the only mobians participating are in the ages from fifteen to fifty-five?"
Sally nodded, but then rethought it for a moment, "Maybe make it ten less. Make it fifteen to forty-five. Fifty-five is little too old I think."
Dr Quack and Sonic both nodded before the duck started to leave. "The program can start in a month's time. During then you will have to find another source of food, Sonic."
The hedgehog nodded his head with gulp before him and Sally started to leave. Sally smiled at him and gently, grabbed his hand as they walked out the door. "Well, now that that's sorted out how about we find the others?"
Sonic nodded his head as he touched his nose, nervously, trying not to look at Sally's hand holding his. He liked it, but he didn't know how his vampire side felt. He really wanted to ask her out though. Maybe sometime later in the month. When he wasn't so nervous about him going out of control.
YAYZ! Finally did this! Hope you like it! All I could think of because of my DAMN WRITERS BLOCK! As you can tell this chapter is about Sonic and Sally telling Dr Quack about the blood program for the wounded and for Sonic. The receptionist isn't really my fan character as well as it isn't someone else's it's just one I made up from the top of my head. You'll see more of her later on and I may adopt her as an actual fan character of mine if I like her enough.
VFMH OUT!
