Her rose dress was now red and the white lace, stained. Jade eyes stared intently at glowing emerald green ones.\n“S-So-” her words were never spoken as pale lips moved no more. The small girl collapsed and hit the ground with a gentle thud. The beast made a low whine in the back of his throat as he nudged the girl's body with his muzzle. The body didn't respond. Cold had taken over and taken its prey with it. The beast fell to his hind and howled at the silver pearl cushioned by smouldering grey clouds. Torn tissue from the beasts bite was a gateway for the scarlet liquid which slowed until the pool no longer grew. As the high pitched howl pierced the clouded sky clawed fingers shrunk to soft peach fingers now varnished with dried black flakes. Bloodied canines retracted to normal, the hunched hairy mass reduced to half its size and the howl turned into choked sobs. \n“Ames...” the cobalt hedgehog couldn't bear to set eyes upon the limp, lifeless figure by his knees. “Amy?” There was no longer noise in the stadium. “Amy!” The hedgehog's screams rippled through the few onlookers. “Fleetway!” The hedgehog kept his tone to address the cackling yellow figure casually stretched on a bench like a cat in the sun.\n“Brava blue, I didn't think you had the guts,” The gold hedgehog grinned with his jagged teeth.\n“It doesn’t take guts to kill someone Fleetway,” The boy staggered to his feet where he swayed on the spot. His knees were shaking so much that he was using all of his strength to not collapse upon them.\n“So, you’re saying you did it intentionally blue?” the frayed ears of the golden hedgehog twitched to the sound of his puppet. Fleetway enjoyed the show he had conducted and the broken hero still pretending to be strong even though it was clear he had been crippled.\n“You…you killed her!” The cobalt hedgehog cried the words he knew were lies. His fists curled at his sides and they had become white knuckled. Fresh warm blood dribbled through his fingers as the boys nails had extended at the anger swirling inside of him. Without thought the cobalt hedgehog had been held back by a blonde kitsune and a ruby echidna. He had brought upon a half transformation and his canines were only extended halfway, his drive was to kill the alter ego he had released.\n“Pretty sure blue…” The swirling red irises belonging to the gold hedgehog opened and locked contact with the only slightly glowing eyes of the enraged hedgehog. “You are the real murderer here,” he smiled smugly at his words.\n“That kill was meant for you, you bastard,” The cobalt hedgehog growled from the back of his throat. “You aggravated me!”\n“But it was still you who bit into poor Rose’s neck, isn’t that right little Sonikku?” Fleetway mocked the voice of the hero’s dead friend earning a more vicious growl from the struggling hedgehog still in the weakening grip of his friends. “Of course even if you had succeeded in nipping at my neck you would still be a murderer,” \n“And I wouldn’t have given a rat’s arse about it!” the hedgehog roared as his friend’s grip finally gave way and the beast was unleashed once again. The golden hedgehog was now on his feet and aware of a possible threat but he relaxed as the high pitched wailing of a police siren broke through the silence.\n“What about now then blue? The law isn’t on your side,” Fleetway slipped his hands in his pockets casually. The tattered and torn jeans that overlapped the plain red sneakers were the only items of clothing the hedgehog wore along with white cotton gloves which were ragged and slightly ripped.\n“You called the police, didn’t you?” The cobalt hedgehog’s voice was now deep and his growl had become menacing to everyone but Fleetway whose face expressed his boredom blatantly.\n“I could have done but you’ll never find out now blue,” Fleetway gently kicked off the floor and he hovered just an inch off of the kempt grass of the stadium. “I’m taking my leave, I bid you a farewell blue,” Fleetway blew a kiss in the werehog’s direction.\n“Get back on the ground Fleetway, this isn’t over yet!” The werehog advanced on the hedgehog who smiled while shaking his head.\n“I really would love to stay and chat but there are better things to do, I suggest you run while you can blue, it’s the only thing you seem to be good at,” The hedgehog cackled and parted from the stadium.\n\n“Sonic!” The werehog’s ear swivelled towards the cry of his name. “Sonic!” he turned around this time and saw a raven hedgehog in olive cargo pants running up to him. The werehog was calmed at the sight of his boyfriend and shifted back to normal and miraculously when the hedgehog shifted his jeans were only slightly torn. \n“Sh-Shadow!” The cobalt hedgehog smiled lightly. The raven hedgehog stopped only a metre away from Sonic. Shadow Gabriels was an elite agent of a task force under the authorisation of G.U.N or the Guardian Units of Nations. He was part of a shadow unit that dealt with the apparent ‘myths’ and ‘legends’ that had to be kept in line.   \n“How could you? How could you be so insensitive?” Shadow questioned the cobalt hedgehog who now looked guilty.\n“It was Fleetway, I swear Shadow! Please believe me!” Sonic pleaded and tried to come closer to the raven hedgehog.\n“Oh now you’re lying to me!” Shadow glared at Sonic. “I saw the CCTV, I know what you did!”\n“It was an accident!” Sonic cried. It was the truth after all. He had being after Fleetway, trying to stop him before more damage was done but the irony was that Sonic caused the damage this time. Sonic had the kill on Fleetway but Amy Rose had other plans along with his other friends. They hadn’t wanted their True Blue hero to become a killer but fate had mocked them. Oh how fate had mocked them.\n“I could see that but do you think my superiors will see that? They've been watching you Sonic, waiting for the opportune moment to take evidence and use it against you,” the raven hedgehog had small tears brimming in his eyes as he knew the fate that awaited his lover.\n“They think I'm dangerous?” The cobalt hedgehog glowered. “I can control it! They can't just put me down like a dog! C-can they?” Sonic was scared now and Shadow could see it in his quaking emerald eyes.\n“They can Sonic and they will send me to do it. They will press a standard pulse pistol in my hand, loaded with silver bullets and I will have no choice but to shoot you,” Shadow's fists were clenched and his crimson eyes were fixed on the floor. \n“Everyone has choice Shadow!” Sonic had finally given in and ran to the raven hedgehog who flinched at the peach arms wrapped around him.\n“I don't and I'm telling you to run,” Shadow whispered scared that someone could overhear. “Run far, far away and meet me at the broken wall in one month. I promise I will cover your scent to the best of my abilities,”\n“Th-thank you Shadow,” Sonic whimpered and brought his lips up to Shadow's. Shadow cringed at the blood on Sonic's lips but he pressed harder until Sonic pulled away and kissed Shadow's tanned skin. “Marry me when I come back, 'kay?”\n“Okay,” Shadow shook and crumbled to his knees which was where Sonic had to leave him. The cobalt hedgehog turned and started a quick dart up the stands where his bare feet scraped along metal and wood until he confidently reached the top. But as the hedgehog jumped up to go over the edge a single shot was fired. The bullet whizzed through the air, cutting it like an apple corer. Sonic's head had been the target but instead his calf became the victim. The silver metal lodged itself in the muscle with a spray of blood and the tissue was sawdust compared to the drilling motion of the bullet. The single pained cry of the cobalt hedgehog ricocheted around the stadium and rattled the metal bars. It was followed by the hedgehog’s lover’s scream as the cobalt hedgehog fell to the concrete car park below.\n\nA puff of smoke was plastered to the skyline as a cigarette was lit and inhaled. Stars scattered the sky like glitter and the moon was a perfect circle and seemed close enough that the ice hedge-wolf felt like he could just extend his hand and find the perfect orb in his hands.\n“Solaris!” The ice hedge-wolf took his cerulean eyes away from the moon and to the ebony hedgehog beside him.\n“Yes Mephiles?” Solaris had a posh tone to his voice and it was easy to tell he was a high class member of society. He had a stiff black jacket with a pristine white shirt and pressed black jeans. Solaris wore a red gem encased by gold on a black cord. It pulsed like a heart and in truth it effectively was for the hedge-wolf.  \n“I smell the blood of a werehog,” Mephiles wasn’t as posh as Solaris and his shirt was ruffled and un-tucked over his grey jeans that were rolled up for his lace up boots. \n“And? It’s a werehog, what use is it to us?” Solaris rolled his eyes and went back to his cigarette. Mephiles growled in disgust at the older hedge-wolf, he was young and had trouble controlling his patience and bloodlust. “If you want to entertain yourself Mephiles, I have no obligation to hold you back,”\n“Really! I can go?” the ebony hedgehog crouched on the wall ready to spring at a moment’s notice. \nThe ice hedge-wolf just nodded calmly. “Just put a jacket on would you,”\n“But I’m not cold,” the young hedgehog pouted.\n“To cover your gun harness and belt, you dumbass,” Solaris scowled. “Honestly do you think humans would take kindly to someone carrying around two 45 calibre pistols freely?”\n“Oh alright!” The ebony hedgehog snatched his coat off the wall and leaped to the city below. Solaris watched as his Prince of Darkness descended until he was swallowed by the dark shadows.\n\nSonic was still in shock that the bullet hadn’t gone clean through his leg but as he rested against the alley wall he examined the damage. There was a perfect circle in his calf and the area around the wound was raised and red. A single stream of blood ran from the wound. The cobalt hedgehog sighed and hit his head on the wall where he slipped down the brickwork.\n“Shadow…” He looked at the gold ring he had on a cord around his neck. He recalled Shadow’s cry as he fell off of the stadium, it had trigged a transformation and it was probably the reason the bullet hadn’t gone all the way in. Footsteps echoed from the end of the alleyway but Sonic had sworn he was the only one in there. As the footsteps grew louder the figure had light cast upon him. Upturned quills were visible and the cobalt hedgehog breathed a sigh of relief. “Shadow,” he pushed against the wall to get to his feet despite the throbbing from his leg. The footsteps stopped and Sonic caught his breath for the shadowed figure wasn’t his fiancée at all. Sonic had realised his mistake, this hedgehog had mint stripes on his quills and in his eyes. This hedgehog had a pale white muzzle with no mouth which made the cobalt hedgehog flinch.   \n“Bah! You’re not a werehog,” The ebony hedgehog scowled and folded his arms. “But you smell like one, tell me your species?” He cocked his head.\nSonic stood shock still at the voice from the hedgehog. “H-how are you even speaking?” He almost screamed at the other ‘hog.\n“Answer my question first, I don’t have a jar of patience to spill,” The ebony hedgehog glared at Sonic.\n“I am a werehog and if you’re part of the authorities then you can kiss my ass!” Sonic returned the glare.\n“First to answer your question, I’m part shadow-melder, second, you must be a shapeshifter who takes on a wolf form not a lycanthrope and third I’m not from the authorities you are referring to. I’m from something bigger,” If Mephiles could smile his lips would be spread like a sharks.\n“Then you can still kiss my ass,” Sonic snarled and turned to leave but the ebony hedgehog had appeared in front of him.\n“Leaving so soon?” Mephiles cocked an eyebrow. “Stay here a little while, we could get to know each other better,”\n“Fuck off,” Sonic spat and tried to weave around Mephiles but faster than lightning Mephiles had whipped out a single pistol and had it pointed in the centre of Sonic’s emerald eyes.\n“Let’s see here. You’re not of faerie blood so not iron,” Mephiles turned the barrel. “Rowan, no you obviously don’t have a warlock mark,” Another turn of the barrel. “Wood? No, I’d know if you were a vampire. Silver’s for lycanthropes, which you clearly aren’t. Copper is for ghosts. Potassium’s for pure shadow melders,” Mephiles hinted. “Ah! Here we are. Kind of ironic really. Cobalt, used to kill shapeshifters,”\n“Going to kill me are you?” Sonic growled.\n“Do you have a problem with that?” The ebony hedgehog asked almost politely. “I’m sorry that I can’t take your blood, I really would have wanted to mind you, but taking it would upset my stomach and my father,”\n“Well for one I do have a problem with you killing me and two I really couldn’t care less,” the cobalt hedgehog snapped back.\n“To give you a chance then,” Mephiles smiled inwardly as he knew of Sonic’s busted leg. “I’ll give you five seconds to run,”\n“Five seconds?” Sonic furrowed his brow.\n“Do you have a problem with that now?” Mephiles growled.\n“No, no. Five seconds is all I need,” Sonic smirked as the ebony hedgehog began his countdown. Mephiles hadn’t even gotten to ‘one’ before Sonic had taken off at an incredible speed.\n“Well shit,” Mephiles jammed his gun back in its holster out of anger. Then his stomach lurched and rumbled. “I’m still hungry as well,” he wailed while cradling his empty stomach. “Why didn’t I just kill him?” he asked himself. “Solaris is going to kill me,” He moped.  \n“The beast has gone this way, hurry men!” The G.U.N shadow squad’s heavy boots clicked along the pavement until they came face to face with Mephiles. “Move out of the way boy,” A soldier barked.\n“What will happen if I don’t?” Mephiles asked cockily.\n“I’ll put a bullet in your fucking skull is what will happen!” The soldier threatened with a twitch to his eye.\n“I would love to see you try,” the ebony hedgehog smirked. “But you’d be wasting your time for that beast you are searching for has been taken care of,” Mephiles lied with an inward smug smile.\n“Meaning?” The soldier pressed.\n“I killed him for you, no need to thank me,” The ebony hedgehog had a glint in his eye to the soldier as he stood proud.\n“You did us a favour there kid but sadly it was murder and I can’t let that slide,” The soldier grinned.\n“Damn. Well before you do place me as a death row killer I would like to ask if there is anybody called Shadow in your group or if you know anyone by that name?” The ebony hedgehog went on his tiptoes to get a better look at the crowd.\n“I’m Shadow!” Shadow parted the crowd and stood before Mephiles with a mixture of anger and sadness. “What do you want?”\n“Second lieutenant Shadow, get back in position!” A soldier barked but the raven hedgehog ignored him.\n“What do you want?” Shadow repeated with a growl this time. Mephiles had seen the sadness in Shadow’s crimson eyes and knew that the cobalt hedgehog and the hedgehog before him shared something special and was determined to find it out.\n“What connections did you have with that beast? He said your name before he died,” Mephiles studied the raven hedgehog who looked like him in many ways but then again they were completely different.\n“He wasn’t a beast! His name is Sonic and he is my fiancé!” tears trickled down Shadow’s cheeks.\n“Was your fiancé,” Mephiles corrected, feeling no remorse for lying to Shadow. “You’re angry at me aren’t you?”\n“A little bit,” Shadow sniffed while Mephiles cocked his head with a furrowed brow. “If you hadn’t have killed him, I would have had to… And I couldn’t do that!”\n“I’m sorry, if I’d have known he had a family-”\n“Of course he had a family! He was Olgilvie Maurice ‘Sonic’ Wakefield! The famous hero of Mobius!” Shadow wailed his lovers name and went to take a swing at Mephiles in blind fury but the ebony hedgehog stopped the swing with the back of his hand.\n“I told you I’m sorry and there’s nothing I can do about it. The least I can tell you is that he died painlessly,” Mephiles’ words shook Shadow and he collapsed to his knees. The raven hedgehog regarded Shadow with a twinge of guilt but shook it off the address the soldiers again. “Who is your commanding officer?”\nThe soldier from before stepped back up. “I’m the Captain, Captain Boggs,”\n“Well Boggs…” Just as quick as before Mephiles whipped out his handgun and without second thought, he lightly squeezed the trigger. The soldier’s head exploded in a cone of bone, brain and blood. Just like with Sonic’s wound it made a small hole on entry but emerged on the other side in a furious scarlet torrent. The bullet embedded itself in another soldier’s skull but not so deep as Boggs’ but deep enough to kill him as well. The cranial matter belonging to Boggs formed a lustrous corona on the faces of his men. “It would seem I am the new Captain of your squad,” The men were too stunned to speak as their mouths flapped like fish lips. “Any objections?”\n“You…you just killed our Captain and his first lieutenant and you expect us not to object?” One of the elder soldiers looked furious at the ebony hedgehog’s actions.\n“Precisely!” Mephiles replied cheerily.\n“Second lieutenant we’re awaiting your orders now,” Mephiles turned back to the trembling raven hedgehog. “Sir?”\n“Y-you’re going to kill me now aren’t you?” Shadow was too shaken up from Sonic’s death that his muscles were ridged and refused to comply with his will to move them. He screamed from within but outside he barely whispered his words.\n“No, you’re my first lieutenant now,” Shadow took his shaking ruby eyes and connected them with Mephiles’ mint ones that had pupils like slits.\n“Wh-who even are you?” Shadow stuttered.\n“I am Mephistopheles de Quincy but you can call me Mephiles,”\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Dark blood dripped from the extended canines of the panting beast as he stared in horror at the thick trickling blood of his best friend. Her rose dress was now red and the white lace, stained. Jade eyes stared intently at glowing emerald green ones.<br />&ldquo;S-So-&rdquo; her words were never spoken as pale lips moved no more. The small girl collapsed and hit the ground with a gentle thud. The beast made a low whine in the back of his throat as he nudged the girl&#039;s body with his muzzle. The body didn&#039;t respond. Cold had taken over and taken its prey with it. The beast fell to his hind and howled at the silver pearl cushioned by smouldering grey clouds. Torn tissue from the beasts bite was a gateway for the scarlet liquid which slowed until the pool no longer grew. As the high pitched howl pierced the clouded sky clawed fingers shrunk to soft peach fingers now varnished with dried black flakes. Bloodied canines retracted to normal, the hunched hairy mass reduced to half its size and the howl turned into choked sobs. <br />&ldquo;Ames...&rdquo; the cobalt hedgehog couldn&#039;t bear to set eyes upon the limp, lifeless figure by his knees. &ldquo;Amy?&rdquo; There was no longer noise in the stadium. &ldquo;Amy!&rdquo; The hedgehog&#039;s screams rippled through the few onlookers. &ldquo;Fleetway!&rdquo; The hedgehog kept his tone to address the cackling yellow figure casually stretched on a bench like a cat in the sun.<br />&ldquo;Brava blue, I didn&#039;t think you had the guts,&rdquo; The gold hedgehog grinned with his jagged teeth.<br />&ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t take guts to kill someone Fleetway,&rdquo; The boy staggered to his feet where he swayed on the spot. His knees were shaking so much that he was using all of his strength to not collapse upon them.<br />&ldquo;So, you&rsquo;re saying you did it intentionally blue?&rdquo; the frayed ears of the golden hedgehog twitched to the sound of his puppet. Fleetway enjoyed the show he had conducted and the broken hero still pretending to be strong even though it was clear he had been crippled.<br />&ldquo;You&hellip;you killed her!&rdquo; The cobalt hedgehog cried the words he knew were lies. His fists curled at his sides and they had become white knuckled. Fresh warm blood dribbled through his fingers as the boys nails had extended at the anger swirling inside of him. Without thought the cobalt hedgehog had been held back by a blonde kitsune and a ruby echidna. He had brought upon a half transformation and his canines were only extended halfway, his drive was to kill the alter ego he had released.<br />&ldquo;Pretty sure blue&hellip;&rdquo; The swirling red irises belonging to the gold hedgehog opened and locked contact with the only slightly glowing eyes of the enraged hedgehog. &ldquo;You are the real murderer here,&rdquo; he smiled smugly at his words.<br />&ldquo;That kill was meant for you, you bastard,&rdquo; The cobalt hedgehog growled from the back of his throat. &ldquo;You aggravated me!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;But it was still you who bit into poor Rose&rsquo;s neck, isn&rsquo;t that right little Sonikku?&rdquo; Fleetway mocked the voice of the hero&rsquo;s dead friend earning a more vicious growl from the struggling hedgehog still in the weakening grip of his friends. &ldquo;Of course even if you had succeeded in nipping at my neck you would still be a murderer,&rdquo; <br />&ldquo;And I wouldn&rsquo;t have given a rat&rsquo;s arse about it!&rdquo; the hedgehog roared as his friend&rsquo;s grip finally gave way and the beast was unleashed once again. The golden hedgehog was now on his feet and aware of a possible threat but he relaxed as the high pitched wailing of a police siren broke through the silence.<br />&ldquo;What about now then blue? The law isn&rsquo;t on your side,&rdquo; Fleetway slipped his hands in his pockets casually. The tattered and torn jeans that overlapped the plain red sneakers were the only items of clothing the hedgehog wore along with white cotton gloves which were ragged and slightly ripped.<br />&ldquo;You called the police, didn&rsquo;t you?&rdquo; The cobalt hedgehog&rsquo;s voice was now deep and his growl had become menacing to everyone but Fleetway whose face expressed his boredom blatantly.<br />&ldquo;I could have done but you&rsquo;ll never find out now blue,&rdquo; Fleetway gently kicked off the floor and he hovered just an inch off of the kempt grass of the stadium. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m taking my leave, I bid you a farewell blue,&rdquo; Fleetway blew a kiss in the werehog&rsquo;s direction.<br />&ldquo;Get back on the ground Fleetway, this isn&rsquo;t over yet!&rdquo; The werehog advanced on the hedgehog who smiled while shaking his head.<br />&ldquo;I really would love to stay and chat but there are better things to do, I suggest you run while you can blue, it&rsquo;s the only thing you seem to be good at,&rdquo; The hedgehog cackled and parted from the stadium.<br /><br />&ldquo;Sonic!&rdquo; The werehog&rsquo;s ear swivelled towards the cry of his name. &ldquo;Sonic!&rdquo; he turned around this time and saw a raven hedgehog in olive cargo pants running up to him. The werehog was calmed at the sight of his boyfriend and shifted back to normal and miraculously when the hedgehog shifted his jeans were only slightly torn. <br />&ldquo;Sh-Shadow!&rdquo; The cobalt hedgehog smiled lightly. The raven hedgehog stopped only a metre away from Sonic. Shadow Gabriels was an elite agent of a task force under the authorisation of G.U.N or the Guardian Units of Nations. He was part of a shadow unit that dealt with the apparent &lsquo;myths&rsquo; and &lsquo;legends&rsquo; that had to be kept in line.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&ldquo;How could you? How could you be so insensitive?&rdquo; Shadow questioned the cobalt hedgehog who now looked guilty.<br />&ldquo;It was Fleetway, I swear Shadow! Please believe me!&rdquo; Sonic pleaded and tried to come closer to the raven hedgehog.<br />&ldquo;Oh now you&rsquo;re lying to me!&rdquo; Shadow glared at Sonic. &ldquo;I saw the CCTV, I know what you did!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;It was an accident!&rdquo; Sonic cried. It was the truth after all. He had being after Fleetway, trying to stop him before more damage was done but the irony was that Sonic caused the damage this time. Sonic had the kill on Fleetway but Amy Rose had other plans along with his other friends. They hadn&rsquo;t wanted their True Blue hero to become a killer but fate had mocked them. Oh how fate had mocked them.<br />&ldquo;I could see that but do you think my superiors will see that? They&#039;ve been watching you Sonic, waiting for the opportune moment to take evidence and use it against you,&rdquo; the raven hedgehog had small tears brimming in his eyes as he knew the fate that awaited his lover.<br />&ldquo;They think I&#039;m dangerous?&rdquo; The cobalt hedgehog glowered. &ldquo;I can control it! They can&#039;t just put me down like a dog! C-can they?&rdquo; Sonic was scared now and Shadow could see it in his quaking emerald eyes.<br />&ldquo;They can Sonic and they will send me to do it. They will press a standard pulse pistol in my hand, loaded with silver bullets and I will have no choice but to shoot you,&rdquo; Shadow&#039;s fists were clenched and his crimson eyes were fixed on the floor. <br />&ldquo;Everyone has choice Shadow!&rdquo; Sonic had finally given in and ran to the raven hedgehog who flinched at the peach arms wrapped around him.<br />&ldquo;I don&#039;t and I&#039;m telling you to run,&rdquo; Shadow whispered scared that someone could overhear. &ldquo;Run far, far away and meet me at the broken wall in one month. I promise I will cover your scent to the best of my abilities,&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Th-thank you Shadow,&rdquo; Sonic whimpered and brought his lips up to Shadow&#039;s. Shadow cringed at the blood on Sonic&#039;s lips but he pressed harder until Sonic pulled away and kissed Shadow&#039;s tanned skin. &ldquo;Marry me when I come back, &#039;kay?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Okay,&rdquo; Shadow shook and crumbled to his knees which was where Sonic had to leave him. The cobalt hedgehog turned and started a quick dart up the stands where his bare feet scraped along metal and wood until he confidently reached the top. But as the hedgehog jumped up to go over the edge a single shot was fired. The bullet whizzed through the air, cutting it like an apple corer. Sonic&#039;s head had been the target but instead his calf became the victim. The silver metal lodged itself in the muscle with a spray of blood and the tissue was sawdust compared to the drilling motion of the bullet. The single pained cry of the cobalt hedgehog ricocheted around the stadium and rattled the metal bars. It was followed by the hedgehog&rsquo;s lover&rsquo;s scream as the cobalt hedgehog fell to the concrete car park below.<br /><br />A puff of smoke was plastered to the skyline as a cigarette was lit and inhaled. Stars scattered the sky like glitter and the moon was a perfect circle and seemed close enough that the ice hedge-wolf felt like he could just extend his hand and find the perfect orb in his hands.<br />&ldquo;Solaris!&rdquo; The ice hedge-wolf took his cerulean eyes away from the moon and to the ebony hedgehog beside him.<br />&ldquo;Yes Mephiles?&rdquo; Solaris had a posh tone to his voice and it was easy to tell he was a high class member of society. He had a stiff black jacket with a pristine white shirt and pressed black jeans. Solaris wore a red gem encased by gold on a black cord. It pulsed like a heart and in truth it effectively was for the hedge-wolf.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;I smell the blood of a werehog,&rdquo; Mephiles wasn&rsquo;t as posh as Solaris and his shirt was ruffled and un-tucked over his grey jeans that were rolled up for his lace up boots. <br />&ldquo;And? It&rsquo;s a werehog, what use is it to us?&rdquo; Solaris rolled his eyes and went back to his cigarette. Mephiles growled in disgust at the older hedge-wolf, he was young and had trouble controlling his patience and bloodlust. &ldquo;If you want to entertain yourself Mephiles, I have no obligation to hold you back,&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Really! I can go?&rdquo; the ebony hedgehog crouched on the wall ready to spring at a moment&rsquo;s notice. <br />The ice hedge-wolf just nodded calmly. &ldquo;Just put a jacket on would you,&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;But I&rsquo;m not cold,&rdquo; the young hedgehog pouted.<br />&ldquo;To cover your gun harness and belt, you dumbass,&rdquo; Solaris scowled. &ldquo;Honestly do you think humans would take kindly to someone carrying around two 45 calibre pistols freely?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Oh alright!&rdquo; The ebony hedgehog snatched his coat off the wall and leaped to the city below. Solaris watched as his Prince of Darkness descended until he was swallowed by the dark shadows.<br /><br />Sonic was still in shock that the bullet hadn&rsquo;t gone clean through his leg but as he rested against the alley wall he examined the damage. There was a perfect circle in his calf and the area around the wound was raised and red. A single stream of blood ran from the wound. The cobalt hedgehog sighed and hit his head on the wall where he slipped down the brickwork.<br />&ldquo;Shadow&hellip;&rdquo; He looked at the gold ring he had on a cord around his neck. He recalled Shadow&rsquo;s cry as he fell off of the stadium, it had trigged a transformation and it was probably the reason the bullet hadn&rsquo;t gone all the way in. Footsteps echoed from the end of the alleyway but Sonic had sworn he was the only one in there. As the footsteps grew louder the figure had light cast upon him. Upturned quills were visible and the cobalt hedgehog breathed a sigh of relief. &ldquo;Shadow,&rdquo; he pushed against the wall to get to his feet despite the throbbing from his leg. The footsteps stopped and Sonic caught his breath for the shadowed figure wasn&rsquo;t his fianc&eacute;e at all. Sonic had realised his mistake, this hedgehog had mint stripes on his quills and in his eyes. This hedgehog had a pale white muzzle with no mouth which made the cobalt hedgehog flinch.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />&ldquo;Bah! You&rsquo;re not a werehog,&rdquo; The ebony hedgehog scowled and folded his arms. &ldquo;But you smell like one, tell me your species?&rdquo; He cocked his head.<br />Sonic stood shock still at the voice from the hedgehog. &ldquo;H-how are you even speaking?&rdquo; He almost screamed at the other &lsquo;hog.<br />&ldquo;Answer my question first, I don&rsquo;t have a jar of patience to spill,&rdquo; The ebony hedgehog glared at Sonic.<br />&ldquo;I am a werehog and if you&rsquo;re part of the authorities then you can kiss my ass!&rdquo; Sonic returned the glare.<br />&ldquo;First to answer your question, I&rsquo;m part shadow-melder, second, you must be a shapeshifter who takes on a wolf form not a lycanthrope and third I&rsquo;m not from the authorities you are referring to. I&rsquo;m from something bigger,&rdquo; If Mephiles could smile his lips would be spread like a sharks.<br />&ldquo;Then you can still kiss my ass,&rdquo; Sonic snarled and turned to leave but the ebony hedgehog had appeared in front of him.<br />&ldquo;Leaving so soon?&rdquo; Mephiles cocked an eyebrow. &ldquo;Stay here a little while, we could get to know each other better,&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Fuck off,&rdquo; Sonic spat and tried to weave around Mephiles but faster than lightning Mephiles had whipped out a single pistol and had it pointed in the centre of Sonic&rsquo;s emerald eyes.<br />&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s see here. You&rsquo;re not of faerie blood so not iron,&rdquo; Mephiles turned the barrel. &ldquo;Rowan, no you obviously don&rsquo;t have a warlock mark,&rdquo; Another turn of the barrel. &ldquo;Wood? No, I&rsquo;d know if you were a vampire. Silver&rsquo;s for lycanthropes, which you clearly aren&rsquo;t. Copper is for ghosts. Potassium&rsquo;s for pure shadow melders,&rdquo; Mephiles hinted. &ldquo;Ah! Here we are. Kind of ironic really. Cobalt, used to kill shapeshifters,&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Going to kill me are you?&rdquo; Sonic growled.<br />&ldquo;Do you have a problem with that?&rdquo; The ebony hedgehog asked almost politely. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry that I can&rsquo;t take your blood, I really would have wanted to mind you, but taking it would upset my stomach and my father,&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Well for one I do have a problem with you killing me and two I really couldn&rsquo;t care less,&rdquo; the cobalt hedgehog snapped back.<br />&ldquo;To give you a chance then,&rdquo; Mephiles smiled inwardly as he knew of Sonic&rsquo;s busted leg. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll give you five seconds to run,&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Five seconds?&rdquo; Sonic furrowed his brow.<br />&ldquo;Do you have a problem with that now?&rdquo; Mephiles growled.<br />&ldquo;No, no. Five seconds is all I need,&rdquo; Sonic smirked as the ebony hedgehog began his countdown. Mephiles hadn&rsquo;t even gotten to &lsquo;one&rsquo; before Sonic had taken off at an incredible speed.<br />&ldquo;Well shit,&rdquo; Mephiles jammed his gun back in its holster out of anger. Then his stomach lurched and rumbled. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m still hungry as well,&rdquo; he wailed while cradling his empty stomach. &ldquo;Why didn&rsquo;t I just kill him?&rdquo; he asked himself. &ldquo;Solaris is going to kill me,&rdquo; He moped.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />&ldquo;The beast has gone this way, hurry men!&rdquo; The G.U.N shadow squad&rsquo;s heavy boots clicked along the pavement until they came face to face with Mephiles. &ldquo;Move out of the way boy,&rdquo; A soldier barked.<br />&ldquo;What will happen if I don&rsquo;t?&rdquo; Mephiles asked cockily.<br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll put a bullet in your fucking skull is what will happen!&rdquo; The soldier threatened with a twitch to his eye.<br />&ldquo;I would love to see you try,&rdquo; the ebony hedgehog smirked. &ldquo;But you&rsquo;d be wasting your time for that beast you are searching for has been taken care of,&rdquo; Mephiles lied with an inward smug smile.<br />&ldquo;Meaning?&rdquo; The soldier pressed.<br />&ldquo;I killed him for you, no need to thank me,&rdquo; The ebony hedgehog had a glint in his eye to the soldier as he stood proud.<br />&ldquo;You did us a favour there kid but sadly it was murder and I can&rsquo;t let that slide,&rdquo; The soldier grinned.<br />&ldquo;Damn. Well before you do place me as a death row killer I would like to ask if there is anybody called Shadow in your group or if you know anyone by that name?&rdquo; The ebony hedgehog went on his tiptoes to get a better look at the crowd.<br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m Shadow!&rdquo; Shadow parted the crowd and stood before Mephiles with a mixture of anger and sadness. &ldquo;What do you want?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Second lieutenant Shadow, get back in position!&rdquo; A soldier barked but the raven hedgehog ignored him.<br />&ldquo;What do you want?&rdquo; Shadow repeated with a growl this time. Mephiles had seen the sadness in Shadow&rsquo;s crimson eyes and knew that the cobalt hedgehog and the hedgehog before him shared something special and was determined to find it out.<br />&ldquo;What connections did you have with that beast? He said your name before he died,&rdquo; Mephiles studied the raven hedgehog who looked like him in many ways but then again they were completely different.<br />&ldquo;He wasn&rsquo;t a beast! His name is Sonic and he is my fianc&eacute;!&rdquo; tears trickled down Shadow&rsquo;s cheeks.<br />&ldquo;Was your fianc&eacute;,&rdquo; Mephiles corrected, feeling no remorse for lying to Shadow. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re angry at me aren&rsquo;t you?&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;A little bit,&rdquo; Shadow sniffed while Mephiles cocked his head with a furrowed brow. &ldquo;If you hadn&rsquo;t have killed him, I would have had to&hellip; And I couldn&rsquo;t do that!&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry, if I&rsquo;d have known he had a family-&rdquo;<br />&ldquo;Of course he had a family! He was Olgilvie Maurice &lsquo;Sonic&rsquo; Wakefield! The famous hero of Mobius!&rdquo; Shadow wailed his lovers name and went to take a swing at Mephiles in blind fury but the ebony hedgehog stopped the swing with the back of his hand.<br />&ldquo;I told you I&rsquo;m sorry and there&rsquo;s nothing I can do about it. The least I can tell you is that he died painlessly,&rdquo; Mephiles&rsquo; words shook Shadow and he collapsed to his knees.
