Things get twisted when they realize the ghost haunting the place is a thousand year old sex slave owner.[/i]\n[b]Character 1 - [/b]Sonic\n[b]Character 2 - [/b]Knuckles (oh no)\n_________________________________________\n[b]Came to the Wrong House\nPART TWO[/b]\n\nThe unnerving sound of trickling water awakens the cobalt hedgehog. His ear twitches, swiveling back and forth. He then tries to open his eyes. Oh great, he thinks, finding himself blindfolded. The question was, by whom?\n“Knuckles?” he calls out, hoping to hear an answer.\n\nHe got nothing in return.\n\nThere was something wrapped around his arms and torso, and his hands were bound behind his back around some kind of pole. He pulls them forward only to hear the sound of chains against metal, and there is tension as he then attempts to pry his hands apart...\n\nHandcuffs?\n\nHe suddenly recalls the items from the kitchen drawer and his mind begins to spiral.\n\n“Knuckles?” he tries again, and for a second time no one answers. “Shoot.” He was really starting to get worried, wondering what could have possibly happened to him.\n\nA faint giggle causes the azure hero to seize, and his ears to perk forward. The fur on the back of his neck stands on end, and there is suddenly the chilling feeling that something was closing in on him. The only way he could describe it was like a frozen sheet of spider webs slowly shrouding him in a sticky obnoxious way with no means of being able to get rid of it; a horrible feeling he couldn’t shake, for sure.\n\nBefore he can ask who’s there, a pair of ice cold hands cup the hedgehog’s fawn muzzle causing him to gasp in surprise.\n\n“My my,” a voice speaks, seductively feminine and slow, “You’re quite the handsome fellow, I must say.” \n\nWhoever it was had quite the accent. It sounded…old. Not like, eldery. No, more like how someone would speak from olden times.\n\nSonic’s brows knit together. “Who are you?”\n\nThe entity hums in return, cheerfully. “Who I am does not matter.” One hand pulls back from his face and suddenly runs down a cobalt leg from the knee to inner thigh as it brushes up the poor hog’s groin, just grazing the sensitive pouch; something that concealed his hidden member. “How I am willing to please you should...”\n\nWith a red face, the flustered boy begins to kick aggressively. What he doesn’t realize is that his moves are ineffective as they faze through the spirit.\n\nShe grimaces, (not like he could see it) and backs off. “I reckon those strong legs of yours usually come in handy as powerful as they are, yet…I wonder if I should trade them for stronger arms…”\n\nSonic’s blood runs cold as he immediately realizes what she’s talking about. “Leave him alone!” he threatens, teeth baring.\n\n“Oh?” The horrible icy feeling returns as she closes in on his ear, causing him to shiver violently from head to toe. “Why should I? You wish so badly to see him. I wonder…”\n\nHe swallows spit.\n\nShe whispers, “...if your friend wants to see you again too…”\n\nThen she’s gone.\n\nSonic now realizes how dire the need is to escape and tries to, pulling on the handcuffs with little to no room to wiggle and free himself with. What about Knuckles? Was he even wherever the heck he was too? “Knuckles!” he tries again, louder this time.\n\nAlas, there was nothing.\n__________________________________________________________\nThe red echidna lay on a bed, opening his eyes partially and closing them slowly. He does this a few times, fighting sleep. He couldn’t speak, and his mouth was dry. Why was he so tired? He could hear Sonic, or what he thought was Sonic…but was it? He doesn’t know. It sounds distant and echoey. Everything was so blurry, and the lights above confused him. Were they bulbs or candle flames? Where was he? His eyes won’t open anymore. So tired...\n\n“Big red! Are you out there?” Sonic calls out once again.\n\nSaid guardian feels a bit strange all of a sudden, and soon there is something cold touching his face. As he forces his eyes to open the best they can, he comes face to face with something blurry and white with two golden orbs staring back at him. His heavy lids force his eyes to close again, and he just lays there.\n\nCurious fingertips run over his nose and slide down his parted lips. They continue to trail downward, feeling across his sculpted torso and toward his waist. Another hand joins the first as they fan outward to mold around his sides and grab onto his hips. This earns the entity a weak moan, and she cannot believe what he says after that.\n\n“Sonic?”\n\nGolden eyes widen.\n\nOh, this was [i]too good.\n[/i]\nThe ghost glances back across the dark room to where the hedgehog had been tied to a pole that ran from the floor to the rickety ceiling. She smirks devilishly.\n\n“Knuckles!” Sonic cries out, happy to hear a response at last. “Are you okay?”\n\nWhen Knuckles doesn’t respond, the ghost does for him, using the echidna’s voice after only hearing it once. “I’m fine.”\n\n“You don’t sound fine,” Sonic says with growing concern.\n\nShe thinks of what to say as she glances back at the crimson male. Maybe if she just played along she could hit two birds with one stone. The tricky part was figuring out how to do so…\n\nThe cobalt sat there for another moment, waiting for red to respond.\n\nMeanwhile, it became evident to the spirit that there was something between the two, and she seems to figure this out rather quickly. She could feel it; the tension, the longing, the love for one another. It was all there, but what to do about it?\n\nSonic continues to struggle in his binds. He grunts a few times as he pulls and yanks on the ropes holding him, but to no avail. He gives up and presses the back of his head against the pole, feeling his quills move slightly before getting a bright idea.\n\nHe lets his quills bristle, sharpening just enough to cut at the cloth and tear through enough to allow it to fall from his eyes. Just as he manages to open them, he is greeted by the horrifying sight of her pale white face. He only gets a glimpse of her stunningly sharp yellow eyes and wicked smile before something presses up against his mouth and his vision starts to blur when he tries to inhale. Emerald eyes roll into the back of their owner's head, and he’s out.\n__________________________________________________________\nFor a moment, Sonic comes back to consciousness as he feels himself being dragged across what he can only image was the floor. He only manages to open his eyes enough to see the shadows on the ceiling. After a few brief moments of mumbling incoherent questions, he blacks out again.\n__________________________________________________________\nWhen he comes to, he’s lying on a bed, Knuckles next to him. He sits up and lifts his head as he looks around, noticing a strange purple bubble completely surrounding the bed. “What?” Still handcuffed, he turns around a full three-sixty degrees using his feet.\n\nWhat was going on now?\n\n...and…\n\nHe glances over to the guardian who was still asleep, and something shiny catches his eye. It was something purple and shining like glitter wrapping around his friend’s wrist. Why was he wearing a bracelet? Was he wearing that before?\n\n“Impressive, isn’t it?” a voice interrupts.\n\nSonic jumps. His eyes narrow in on the problem. “You!”\n\n“I?” the ghost inquires as she steps forth from the shadows. Her looks were rather interesting: Skin a luminescent white with two glowing golden orbs for eyes, and freakishly long black hair that almost touched the ground. \n\n“What about you?”\n\nThe hedgehog thinks about the question, confusion written all over his face. “What about me?”\n\n“Naive. I like that. You don’t know his secrets, do you?”\n\n“Secrets?” Sonic asks, taking the bait.\n\nShe snaps her fingers and the echidna laying next to him begins to stir. His face heats up, and his back suddenly arches.\n\nSonic’s eyes widen as he watches his friend moan and move about where he lay. His mouth parts open and his brows raise. It looks as if he’s dreaming. Was he in trouble? The hero blushes as he hears the echidna starting to call out his name. At first it was quiet and almost innocent, and then became more evidently needy as he got louder.\n\nInevitably, he’s forced to watch his comrade having what appears to be a wet dream, something Sonic mistakes for a nightmare.\n\nHe wants to shake him awake.\n\nThe witch-like spirit laughs before pressing her large chest against the forcefield, letting her long purple tongue fall down to her chin, then licking it upward slowly against the smooth surface.\n\nSonic cringes as he watches her do this and scowls.\n\nShe makes her move. “I don’t need magic to tell you how he feels about you.”\n\nHe wants to question it, but she’s now staring at the sleeping echidna with a crazy look in her eyes. Who the heck was this girl, anyway?\n\n“You better let us go,” Sonic warns, glaring daggers at her, \"...or else…\"\n\nShe pulls away from the purple bubble to run one finger along it as she walks around from the right to left side. “...and what if I don’t? You shan’t kill me. I am already dead! So…I have a proposition for you,” she smiles.\n\nAgain, the cobalt bites. “Oh yeah?” He couldn’t resist a challenge. Hook, line, and sinker.\n\n“Quite. You see, I tend to feel a bit peckish when I lack the proper...nutrients that I require.”\n\nRed continues to squirm next to blue.\n\n“I ain’t a snack, lady,” Sonic crosses his arms in a huff. He’s had enough of her talking. A large hand falls on the cobalt’s lap.\n\n“In order to free yourself, you must return his feelings. You want to escape? Give in to your desires...”\n\nIt's now apparent to him that Knuckles isn't having a nightmare. \n\nBlue ears bend back.\n\nUm.\n\nSonic glances back to Knuckles who’s hand was currently inching up his leg and toward his inner thigh. He picks up the mit and places it back on the bed next to the guardian’s head. “No way.” Knuckles was his friend. She was trying to trick him into…\n\nHis mind trails off. She wanted them to [i]what[/i] now?\n\n“So innocent,” she whispers to herself. “Do this, and I will keep my word… Don’t, and you will earn yourself a gruesome fate,” the spirit advises, backing away and fading into the darkness followed by a short giggle.\n\nSonic feels strong fingers graze his chest and his attention reverts back to the crimson mobian. He feels his face flush as the hand presses down on his stomach, and soon Knuckles is crawling overtop of him.\n\n“Knux?” the hero questions, head pressing back into a pillow. This isn't good. Out of all the things that they could have fought on this adventure, they were fighting against being forced to do…those things to each other...\n\nHe feels Knuckles’s legs snake between his own. Sudden silence. Emeralds fall onto amethyst. Sudden heat. \n\nMuzzles linger close and mouths part open, the two taking a moment to study each other as their lips slowly close the distance between them.\n\nSonic doesn’t understand it, but it feels good. Even though his heart was in his throat, he can’t help but to enjoy the feeling and attention.\n\nMeanwhile, Knuckles is out of his mind. He thinks this is just a good dream, and of course it feels too good to be true. His tongue intertwines with the cobalt’s. A peach chest presses up into his own white crested, and a red arm loops behind the small of Sonic’s back. The hog’s head snaps to the left, exhaling a hot puff of air with half-lidded eyes. He needs to catch his breath. The guardian goes for the neck and chest, earning a pleasurable groan from peach lips. He nips playfully. Sonic squirms.\n\nThe spirit watches intently, reaping the energy they gave off while casting her spell upon them both.\nThis was the first part of her plan. Step one: loosen them up. She waves her fingers slowly in the shadows, hexing them. Unbeknownst to her victims, she uses her magic to bend and mold them to her liking. For now, the show was enough for her…but for how long?\n\nSonic hardly sees her there in the dark, and his strained eyes try desperately to stay open to focus on her figure.\nKisses trail down his stomach. He has to try to stop himself from crying out when a kiss exposes his hidden pouch. His haunches tense, not realizing how much he’s teasing the echidna.\n\nSaid red decides to let his tongue intrude.\n\nGreen eyes close, shutting tight, and the hot hog’s a mess. Sharp quills bristle out astray while cheeks burn from the heat of the moment. He’d never felt so aroused, and he could hardly say no.\n\nYet, there was the little subconscious thought in the back of his head that slowly made its way frontward. This wasn’t supposed to happen. No, it didn’t feel right. She must have been causing this. [i]'This is what she wants!'[/i]\nSonic breaks from his haze, and fights the other. His foot comes up and manages to push his friend back by the chest with it. “Knuckles, wake up,” he groans, causing the echidna to snort and sit up quickly, waking up fully. Violet eyes widen. As their owner’s strong hands pull back from the hedgehog, red realizes what’s going on, and he’s perturbed by it.\n\n“Sonic, I--” Strong cobalt legs pull him back down.\n\nKnuckles is interrupted by Sonic’s mouth on his mouth and he’s being shushed. He tries to ask what’s going on, but the hero continues to kiss him, hoping to shut him up. At least Knuckles was free from the spell, but for how long? He had to get him in on it, the plan that he just made up that is.\n\nSonic pulls from the kiss and presses the side of his face against the echidna. “Shut up, and listen,” he whispers. Knuckles holds still. “I'm going to break our new bracelets so we can get out of here. Thing is, my hands are kind of tied up at the moment.”\n\nKnuckles pulls back a little to see Sonic smiling nervously. He can’t help but notice his red cheeks, and then the bracelet around his own wrist, the one he had mentioned. Taking it in his opposite hand, red is about to crush it when the ghost returns. Her face closes in on the forcefield, and she doesn’t look happy.\n\nThey both turn to look at her.\n\n“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” she advises, tsk’ing afterward with glowing yellow eyes.\n\nThe two sit up.\n\nSonic scowls. “What’s your deal, anyway?”\n\n“Who is that?” Knuckles questions.\n\n“Our [i]ghost.”[/i]\n\n“I prefer the name Scarlett,” she pipes in, running her nails slowly down the forcefield.\n\n“If you wanted to kill us, you would have done it by now,” Sonic goes on. He wasn’t wrong. If she truly had the intent to kill, she wouldn’t be wasting her time. So what was stopping her? “What is it that you really want?”\n\n\"I told you…\" There was a short pause as her head tilts to the side, and she genuinely looks deep in thought. “...What I want…”\n\nKnuckles catches her eye, and she smiles.\n\n“...is to watch you two fulfil your fantasies…”\n\nHis face heats up.\n\nSonic looks away, embarrassed to think about it. He felt sick. They were best friends. There was no way Knuckles could possibly like him like that; not with the way he's been acting towards him lately. Cold shoulders and distance seemed like running themes with the guardian of the Master Emerald. Maybe he really didn't enjoy these missions with just the two of them. He couldn't even think about it without questioning it. Did…did he like him, though? He always wanted him to go on all these missions... Was it because he was useful or because he wanted the company?\nSonic closes his eyes, brooding on the subject.\n\n\"So what'll it be?\" Scarlett proposes, \"Sex or death?\"\n\nKnuckles balls up his fists. \"Why you little--\"\n\n\"Can it and just get it over with,\" Sonic sneers, earning a bitter look from his crimson friend.\n\n\"What?\"\n\nSonic smiles. \"Just do me,\" he says softly.\n\nThe two only stare at each other.\n\nSonic had to test his theory. He leans in and locks lips with the echidna, and the other jumps slightly in surprise. It doesn't take long before Sonic is leaning back to lay down, mouths still locked together, and Knuckles's hands slowly wrap around the hedgehog without a fight. This felt…more natural, Sonic notices. It wasn't forced like before. Maybe Knuckles actually liked him, after all.\n\nRed breaks from the kiss to catch his breath before he feels Sonic's face close in on the side of his head.\n\"Remember the plan,\" Sonic reminds him quietly, and Knuckles nods gently before taking peach fur into his mouth and biting down a little. The cobalt yips then smiles. Maybe this won't be so bad.\n\n[i]'Why is he letting me do this to him?' [/i]Knuckles thinks, pulling on the skin between his teeth. He asks himself if this is a dream come true or just one really coincidental situation. He supposes everything happens for a reason, and he can't stay mad at that.\n\nBig mits feel for the handcuffs behind Sonic's back, and manages to pull one hard enough to break it, freeing a hand. Blue's body muffles the sound of the metal snapping, and the two carry on.\n\nThe echidna's mouth finds the hedgehog's, and their tongues began to swirl around each other once more. What Knux doesn't expect is the member of his self-proclaimed best friend poking at his stomach. His eyes widen. Sonic is looking like he's totally okay with what was happening even though a creepy ghost lady was lingering right over there in the darkness getting off on all this.\n\nIf only under different circumstances…\n\nSonic smirks once Knuckles pushes himself up a little to look down and see it. The echidna almost panics, but the hero speaks up; \"It's okay, pal.\"\n\nKnuckles hesitates.\n\n\"You can do this.\"\n\nWhy did he have to be so good?\n\nA shaky hand takes a hold of the hog's member, and Sonic is suddenly in heaven. His spiky back arches, and he moans out pleasurably as Knuckles jerks him off slowly.\n\nThe guardian's face was almost as red as his fur. He watches his friend melting underneath. It was all because of that stupid ghost, or at least that's what he wanted to believe. He didn't know anymore.\n\nSonic's eyes open partially to look up at him, and Knuckles swallows hard. He watches peach lips mouth 'Don't stop', and smile right after. Such a tease.\n\nTwo blue legs lift up, and red knees slide under their thighs.\n\nHis own erection pokes and prods beneath the hero's tail, begging for its turn.\n\nKnuckles pleads with his eyes for lack of being able to ask him verbally, and in return Sonic nods.\n\nThe head breaks entry and slides right in about halfway then stops when a choked scream leaves peach lips.\n\n\"-Sorry!\" Knuckles apologizes quickly, hoping he wasn't hurting him too bad.\n\nSurprisingly, Sonic gets used to it fast, and chuckles quietly. \"I told you not to stop, bud.\"\n\nOffended, Knuckles scrunches his nose. \"I'm not your bud.\" He pushes in all the way, and the other gasps.[i] 'How dare he! Bud.'[/i]\n\nStrong hips pull out only to slam back in.\n\n\"So you're my boyfriend now?\" Sonic inquires once he's able to catch his breath, then he's slammed into again.\n\n\"What the hell are you-\" and again, \"-talking about?\"\n\n\"Like- Ah!~\" One eye closes while the other stays trained on the echidna above. \"You like me, right?\"\n\nKnuckles grits his teeth. \"Do we really gotta have this talk-\" He thrusts into him again mid sentence. [i]\"-right now?!\"[/i]\n\n\"I'm just-\" Sonic moans out, feeling his prostate taking the blow. [i]\"-curious!\"[/i] His voice raises as do his eyebrows.\n\n[i]Shit[/i], that look was hot.\n\n\"Stop acting cute,\" Knuckles scolds him.\n\n\"You think I'm cute?\" Sonic muses.\n\nThe ghost sits idly by, her fingers pinching the skin between her eyes. Were these two seriously having a conversation about their relationship during their first time? Chaos.\n\nKnuckles decides to go faster, aiming to enjoy this just as much as Sonic was. He just couldn't believe it. He never thought that at any given point in time would he have this opportunity.\n\nStars dance in their eyes, and Sonic pulls one hand out carefully from behind him to grab onto Knuckles's wrist. Feeling the bracelet between his thumb and index finger, he waits patiently for their opportunity.\n\nAfter a few more minutes, the echidna's climax nears. \"S-Sonic. I'm a-about to--\"\n\nOne rough push, and the hedgehog screams out in ecstasy followed by a mess of sticky white liquid hitting their stomachs.\n\nKnuckles is close too, and soon shudders when he finally caves in. His seed shoots up into the other's ass, warming him up from the inside as blue's forced to take it.\n\nThe moment red pulls out, Sonic crushes the bracelet in his hand, and then his own, causing the forcefield to crackle and disappear.\n\n\"What!?\" Scarlett belts out, her hair raising up like tentacles out of sudden anger.\n\nKnuckles gets up and cracks his namesakes while Sonic sits up and stretches.\n\n\"I feel relieved,\" the hero says, nonchalantly, \"How about you?\"\n\nThe guardian chuckles, \"Yeah.\"\n\nThey both wipe away their mess and smile at each other. How romantic.\n\nTheir moment is destroyed when a screech bellows out, almost deafening the two. They cover their ears and look at one another before turning to watch the angry ghost heading towards them.\n\n\"You conniving bastards!\" she exclaims, rising up into the air. Her hair fans out all around her as if she's underwater, and her teeth sharpened into points.\n\n\"Quick question before we throw down...\" Sonic opens his arms as he sits on the edge of the bed. \"Did you enjoy the show?\"\n\nHe's answered with a shrill scream as she's flying towards him.\n\nBefore it was too late, a fist flies up and decks the vengeful spirit, sending her flying across the room. Knuckles puts up his fists.\n\n\"Way to go…boyfriend?\" Sonic asks, and he's met with a glare.\n\n\"Don't push it.\"\n\nThe ghost is back, and angrier than before. Screaming, she lunges at the echidna with long, talon-looking claws. In a split second, he manages to dodge and grab her by the wrists. He starts spinning her around, using his heel as a point. Gaining enough momentum, he hurls her into the wall. When she hits, bright purple sparks shoot out and light up the wall for a moment before her body falls to the floor. As she slowly pushes herself up, she's crackling with the same spiritual electricity.\n\nSonic decides it's his turn, and jumps up, curling into a spin dash. With a high-pitched squeal, he bursts forward and slams into her. This causes a hefty purple explosion, and he's thrown back due to the blast. Knuckles catches him.\n\n\"My hero,\" the cobalt teases, making a kissy face toward him.\n\nViolet eyes roll, and Knuckles groans before he drops him onto the ground.\n\nSonic shakes his head and sits up quickly, looking out toward the area where she'd last been. \"She's gone?\"\n\nKnuckles squints. She didn't [i]feel[/i] gone. If anyone knew anything about paranormal encounters, it was him. \"Not quite.\"\n\n\"Well, we gotta find out what happened to those townsfolk, so let's get moving before she comes back.\"\n\nKnuckles nods. \"Right.\"\n\nThey both set out to venturing around the dark basement.\n\nAs much as he wanted to split up to look around, Knuckles remembers that his flashlight is MIA, and Sonic is a living one. The blue energy emits from the hedgehog's hands, and the two start investigating. \"We've gotta be quick.\"\n\nSonic chortles. \"You're telling me to be quick?\"\n\n\"I said we,\" the echidna corrects as he picks up and turns over a jar with some unknown murky liquid inside.\n\n\"Aw,\" Sonic grins. \"You did. So that means we're a thing now right?\"\n\nThe flustered echidna snaps. \"I said not to push it.\"\n\nIt was adorable how he was trying so hard to shrug it off when it was blatantly laid out on the table. It was like trying to ignore the elephant in the room. Knuckles was trying to, but Sonic's throbbing behind wouldn't let him forget.\n\nA sudden banging catches their attention, and they spin around to look at an old bookcase.\n\n\"Help!\" a muffled voice calls out.\n\n\"They're behind this bookshelf?\" Sonic questions, wiping away the dust from one of the shelves and pinching it between his fingers to feel its grittiness.\n\n\"Did they hear us?\" Knuckles asks almost too cautiously.\n\nSonic gives him a look. \"Really dude?\"\n\nKnuckles shrugs then grabs a hold of a corner and tugs. He moves it aside easily, revealing a hidden door.\n\nSonic then notices the lock on it.\n\n\"It's locked,\" says Knuckles.\n\nNo shit. \"Thanks captain obvious.\"\n\nA familiarly horrible screech fills their eardrums and the guardian is knocked off his feet. When his back hits the wall, he grunts and falls to his knees.\n\nSonic takes action and dashes after their ghostly enchantress, but is met with the wall as well when he fazes through her and smacks into it for the lack of lighting in order to see it. He falls onto his partner and groans, rubbing his head. Knuckles shoves him off, and growls.\n\nScarlett slowly touches down onto the ground before creating a purple ball of light between her hands. She stretches it out into a string of spiritual electricity and sends it zapping toward them.\n\nWith no time to dodge, it captures them, pulling them together back to back. The purple light turns into physical rope. Both try to fight it, but become immobile as they sit on the floor.\n\n\"Only a fool would dare to hit a lady,\" she spits, her amber eyes glowing like blazing candle flames. \"You should be ashamed of yourselves.\"\n\nSonic then decides to open his mouth. \"Can the lecture spooky ghost lady, and get to the part where you tell us how you died and all that.\"\n\nIrritated, but not so opt to deny it, she crosses her arms as she thinks. \"I haven't had anyone to talk to in quite some time.\" She hums and lets her breasts rest overtop of them. \"I suppose that because you won't make it out of here alive, I could spare some time to humor you.\"\n\nSonic sighs exasperatedly. \"Finally! I've been asking for like, the whole time we've been down here.\"\n\n\"Let her talk then,\" Knuckles chimes in.\n\nThe spirit holds a hand out in front of her and projects a sphere of light, hovering just above her palm. In it, an image appears. It's the Inn.\n\n\"Over a thousand years ago, my husband and I opened up this establishment. It was a place for those who traveled near and far to stay and rest when they came through. When the village by the sea was being built, men and women came and went.\"\n\nSonic tilts his head. “Spagonia?”\n\nAnother image fazes through the first one. It was her and her alleged husband. They looked happy.\n\n\"He was a foolish man.\"\n\nWelp. There goes that illusion.\n\n\"He never gave me the time of day, and never tried to. Though the poor fox was a dear, he was infertile. He could not bare me a child. After he stopped trying, I sought…other resources.\"\n\nThe next image appears, showing many other mobians.\n\n\"I had to, in order to feed my 'habit' as one may call it, swoon other men to do what my husband could not.\"\nAn image shows her pregnant, and her husband has an arm up, about to stab her with the knife he's holding.\n\"Unfortunately, my husband found out our unborn child wasn't his.\"\n\n\"That's terrible,\" Sonic speaks up.\n\n\"Indeed.\" She continues, letting the ball vanish, \"I've been looking for the perfect mate ever since.\"\n\nKnuckles squints. \"You mean to tell me you want someone to get you pregnant? You do realize that--\"\n\nSonic's head thunks the back of Knuckles's.\n\n\"Hey!\" the echidna cries.\n\n\"Which one of us do you want?\"\n\nScarlett lights up, smiling at Sonic's proposition.\n\nPhase two of her plan was going accordingly.\n\n\"What?\" Red questions.\n\n\"My, you're making me choose?\" the spirit asks, placing a hand to her cheek as she hovers toward them. She gets down and starts with Knuckles. The flummoxed echidna doesn't quite understand what's happening at first until she licks her lips with her purple tongue and says; \"I do enjoy the thought of brute strength, but this one is too stupid.\"\n\nDid she just…\n\nThe guardian was starting to get it now. “...Hey!”\n\nShe shifts to the left and floats around to the other side to get a good look at Sonic.\n\nHe smiles devilishly. \"Like what you see?\" His brows wiggle.\n\nKnuckles freezes, looking perturbed. [i]'He's such a-'[/i]\n\n\"Why yes.\"\n\n[i]'...and she's--' [/i]Knux continues.\n\n\"Then let's go,\" Sonic says, and Knuckles pretty much loses his mind.\n\n\"Are you kidding me?!\"\n\nThis earns a poke from Sonic's finger into the echidna's lower back. When the ghost flies back across the room to find something sharp to cut them loose, Sonic turns his head so that he can whisper without her hearing.\n\n\"While I'm distracting her, I want you to free those guys. I can bust outta here myself.\"\n\n\"...and what if you can't?\" Knuckles questions quietly. \"She's a powerful thousand year old sex slave owner.\"\n\n\"Oh please,\" Sonic goes off, \"I've fought and lived through worse.\"\n\nKnuckles scowls. \"Nice knowing ya.\"\n\n\"Oh, don't be like that. You're just mad because you're in denial.\"\n\n\"Denial? Why I outta--\"\n\nThe spirit returns with a pair of scissors.\n\nSonic gives her that look again, and they're soon free from the binds. She grabs Sonic by the arm and tugs him along, leaving Knuckles behind.\n\nA bad mistake on her part.\n\nHe turns and starts looking for a candle or something to light his way since his living flashlight was busy paying attention to some other lady. Was he jealous? An image of his dick shoved up Sonic's ass flashes through his mind, and he's blushing. Maybe he could face his feelings for Sonic, and just maybe they could be a thing. He had to admit that he really did enjoy what they just shared.\n\nHe shakes his head. \"Not now, Knuckles. Get to the mission.\" Then he's off to save the townsfolk.\n\nSonic crawls overtop of the spirit who has manifested a physical form. She was very beautiful in her original state. She had white fur and not-as-long black hair, but her eyes were hazel, and her muzzle a light tan. For the first time, he realizes that she’s a fox just like her late husband. Due to her horrifying manifestation of a ghost, it was hard to tell what she originally was. All anyone saw was scary and ugly. Now, her gorgeous eyelashes blink slowly at him as he closes in, and a hand runs up her side to her face. She’s still abnormally cold to the touch. He cups her cheek and lets his thumb slide across her bottom lip. A puff of air leaves her, forming a small steam cloud.\n\n[i]'If I was straight, I probably would have hightailed it after her too,'[/i] he thinks to himself, keeping up his expert acting skills. [i]'I hope Knuckles isn't too mad.'[/i]\n\nMentioned echidna is yanking at the lock on the door to the hidden room where all the missing mobians were.\n\n\"You've come to save us?\" A voice speaks up, earning a shush from their savior.\n\n\"Shut up. You're not saved yet.\" He pries it off carefully, and opens the door. \"Everyone okay?\"\n\nThe same guy takes Knuckles's hand since they couldn't see each other. \"Yes, thanks to you. Good heavens, I never thought we would get out of here alive.\"\n\nKnuckles scoffs. \"That's what our ghostly host thinks, but I have other plans, and they involve staying alive.\"\n\nSonic kisses her sweetly, and runs a hand down along her breast. He stops there to squeeze it, and he has to question whether or not he likes this. Well, it doesn't take long to think about it as he pulls his hand away and continues to trail it down her stomach. Girls were still a foreign concept to him, but at least he liked them. This chick on the other hand wasn’t even alive. Does this make him a necrophiliac? He stops that thought from ruining the moment. He’d rather not to be honest. He had to be the distraction.\n\nKnuckles manages to find a way out through the hole in the ceiling leading to the shed. He hoists them all up one at a time, and tells them to get out of here and head back home. After thanking him for all his help, they run off.\nNow what about Sonic?\n\nWhen Knuckles heads back over to where they would be, Sonic is sitting on the bedside, and the ghost is right there with him in her natural mobian form, rubbing his back, and…comforting him? He decides to listen in on their conversation and hides behind an old couch.\n\n\"It's alright, darling. I understand,\" she tells Sonic who's apparently crying.\n\n\"No, you really don't. I'm afraid that if I tell him how I really feel, then he'll never wanna see me ever again. I can't afford to lose him, Scarlett. He's my best friend.\" He wipes tears from his eyes.\n\nAnyone who really knew Sonic has seen his acting skills. They were impressive, and this time was no exception.\nThe sympathetic ghost continues to rub his back and occasionally scritch in between his shoulder blades. \"It'll be fine. Trust me. Just say what your heart tells you to, and don't hold back. You'll feel a lot better if you tell him.\"\n\n\"Yeah, well,\" Sonic spots the top of Knuckles's head out of the corner of his eye. Thankfully she still has no idea. \"You know what. I'm going to tell him.\"\n\nKnuckles cringes.\n\n\"I'm going to tell him that I love him, because that's what my heart says.\"\n\nRed thinks about that jar he saw earlier. What was in it? He decides to go back and investigate while Sonic goes on and on about his feelings.\n\nMaking his way back to it, Knux picks up the large jar and tries to look through it in the dim lighting.\n\nSomething was in it, but…what exactly?\n\nScarlett kisses the cobalt's cheek. \"You're so handsome. I can't imagine he could resist you again. He loves you, blue hedgehog.\"\n\n\"You could be right.\" He notices Knuckles is gone, and wonders what's up. \"I just hope he accepts me.\"\n\n\"He will,\" she assures with a smile.\n\n\"You know, I'm really sorry for breaking down and everything. I know you're like, trying to get pregnant and stuff, but I've just got a lot going on right now, and I feel kinda blue. Is it alright if I just have a minute?\"\n\nHe only needed one.\n\nShe awe's. \"Of course, dear. Take your time.\"\n\n\"Thanks.\" Sonic gets up and slowly walks away while she continues to sit on the bed. It seems as though when she’s in her ghostly form she's more malevolent, and while in her mobian form, she chills out and acts normally. [i]'Okay, so as long as I don't piss her off…'[/i]\n\nSonic finally meets back up with Knuckles who holds up the jar. With a frown on his face, he hands it to the hedgehog who studies it. When Blue's about to turn the lid, a big hand stops him and then a finger wiggles back and forth. He takes the jar back and turns it on it's side revealing something horrific.\n\nLooks like not only did the baby die too, but it was ripped from her dead body and preserved in a jar.\n\nQuickly, Knuckles leads the way over to where he had helped the others escape.\n\nThis is when it clicks with the spirit that something's up, and she's suddenly ablaze with anger.\n\nHearing her scream, the two make their escape, and run out into the garden.\n\n\"Now what?!\" Knuckles exclaims, holding out the jar.\n\n\"What?\" Sonic exclaims back. \"You mean to tell me you had no real plans with that thing?\"\n\n\"Well, we've gotta do something about it!\"\n\nHer screams echo from the shed.\n\nKnuckles hears Sonic say something, but was too busy to process it. \"What?\" he asks, turning to see the cobalt point to a spot in the garden.\n\n\"I said, look!\"\n\nMushrooms.\n\n\"What about them?\" the echidna asks, soon joining his side.\n\nSonic takes the jar from Knuckles and tells him to dig. Without questioning it, he does so, shredding through dry roots, rocks, and dirt. Soon, he comes across something oblong-shaped and pulls on it. A crack is heard, and he lifts it up to examine it. His blood runs cold.\n\n\"Quick! Uncover it!'\n\nKnuckles snaps his head back with a crazy look in his eyes. \"Are you kidding me?!\"\n\nA shriek pierces their ears, and Scarlett emerges. The two spot her and gasp.\n\nKnuckles shuts up and digs.\n\nSonic smiles nervously at her. \"Can we make it two minutes?\"\n\nWhen she lunges at the hedgehog, he tosses the jar at the shallow grave which hits the echidna in the back of the head before spinning and falling in. It breaks off a rock on the way down, and the baby's body rolls out and onto the skeleton's chest.\n\nKnuckles quickly crawls out while trying not to vomit.\n\nMeanwhile, Scarlett comes to a halt just in front of Sonic. She looks down to see a tiny ghost lying in her arms.\nHer whole demeanor seems to shift, and she takes the form of her natural state. She studies the infant who opens his eyes for the first time. She inhales a shaky breath, and soon the ground beneath her begins to flourish with life, turning from grey and yellow to green and brown as the plants in the garden begin to grow and bloom.\nBoth Sonic and Knuckles turn every which way to witness the world around them come back to life. Though it was nighttime, the moonlight shined just enough to show the magic unravelling beneath them.\n\nShe begins to cry as her face buries into the baby's belly, earning a cheerful cry from the tiny pup.\n\n\"Looks like you won't be needing us after all!\" Sonic says.\n\nKnuckles face palms.\n\n\"Thank you,\" she says softly, looking up to the two who turn back to her.\n\n\"No problem.\" Blue nudges the echidna who rolls his eyes. \"I'm glad you got your happy ending.\"\n\n\"Can we get outta here now?\" the guardian suggests quietly, and Sonic nods.\n\nBefore them, the two spirits fade away into dust before blowing away with the wind.\n\nSonic throws an arm around Knuckles, and the two start off into the night on their way back to Spagonia. They were sure the townsfolk would tell the villagers of Aurora of their rescue.\n\nDeciding to get a place to sleep in Spagonia, the two craft an alibi for the events of their mission so that they could present it to the mayor in the morning.\n____________________________________________________________\nThree weeks roll by, and a proud echidna lies peacefully under the Master Emerald on the floating Angel Island. He'd almost forgotten the events of their little ghost hunting mission if it weren't for one thing...\n\nHis communicator goes off, and he sits up, glaring at the device.\n\n'Sonic' it read on the screen.\n\n\"Of course.\" Knuckles grumbles before answering it. \"Sonic, I'm busy. What do you want?\"\n\nAll he hears are sobs.\n\n\"Sonic?\" he asks, concerned.\n\nRealizing something was wrong, and caring deeply about his friend, he sets off to find Sonic. Since he wasn't saying what was wrong, Knuckles knew he had to go and talk to him himself.\n\nIt takes no time at all to get to his place, and he has him on the line the entire way there. He opens the door and walks inside, hearing the hedgehog ask where he was in both the communicator, and over in his bedroom down the hall.\n\n\"I'm here, Sonic,\" Knuckles tells him before hanging up. When he does, the door opens, and Sonic is standing in the way with a green face and a hand against his belly. \"So tell me what's wrong.\"\n\n\"I'm pregnant.\"\n\nKnuckles pales.\n\n\"...and you're the father…\"\n\nRed doesn't know what to say until he questions it. \"I thought you were a dude?\"\n\n\"I guess I'm both?\" It sounded more like a question than a statement.\n\nKnuckles has his doubts. \"You're not just pulling my leg are you?\"\n\nSonic takes his hand away from his stomach to show off a little bump. \"Do I look like I am?\"\n\n\"Shit.\" He didn't mean to say that outloud. \"Well…\"\n\nEmerald eyes beg amethyst for acceptance.\n\nThis was all too sudden, but the echidna really didn't have any other choice. He walks in, and wraps his arms around the hero, burying his nose into the crook of his blue neck.\n\nThis earns him a sigh of relief from the hedgehog who hugs him back.\n\n[i]This[/i] was a whole new adventure for another time.","writing_bbcode_parsed":"Fanfiction Commission for bbbuuu (inkbunny)

Came to the Wrong House
PART TWO

The unnerving sound of trickling water awakens the cobalt hedgehog. His ear twitches, swiveling back and forth. He then tries to open his eyes. Oh great, he thinks, finding himself blindfolded. The question was, by whom?
“Knuckles?” he calls out, hoping to hear an answer.

He got nothing in return.

There was something wrapped around his arms and torso, and his hands were bound behind his back around some kind of pole. He pulls them forward only to hear the sound of chains against metal, and there is tension as he then attempts to pry his hands apart...

Handcuffs?

He suddenly recalls the items from the kitchen drawer and his mind begins to spiral.

“Knuckles?” he tries again, and for a second time no one answers. “Shoot.” He was really starting to get worried, wondering what could have possibly happened to him.

A faint giggle causes the azure hero to seize, and his ears to perk forward. The fur on the back of his neck stands on end, and there is suddenly the chilling feeling that something was closing in on him. The only way he could describe it was like a frozen sheet of spider webs slowly shrouding him in a sticky obnoxious way with no means of being able to get rid of it; a horrible feeling he couldn’t shake, for sure.

Before he can ask who’s there, a pair of ice cold hands cup the hedgehog’s fawn muzzle causing him to gasp in surprise.

“My my,” a voice speaks, seductively feminine and slow, “You’re quite the handsome fellow, I must say.”

Whoever it was had quite the accent. It sounded…old. Not like, eldery. No, more like how someone would speak from olden times.

Sonic’s brows knit together. “Who are you?”

The entity hums in return, cheerfully. “Who I am does not matter.” One hand pulls back from his face and suddenly runs down a cobalt leg from the knee to inner thigh as it brushes up the poor hog’s groin, just grazing the sensitive pouch; something that concealed his hidden member. “How I am willing to please you should...”

With a red face, the flustered boy begins to kick aggressively. What he doesn’t realize is that his moves are ineffective as they faze through the spirit.

She grimaces, (not like he could see it) and backs off. “I reckon those strong legs of yours usually come in handy as powerful as they are, yet…I wonder if I should trade them for stronger arms…”

Sonic’s blood runs cold as he immediately realizes what she’s talking about. “Leave him alone!” he threatens, teeth baring.

“Oh?” The horrible icy feeling returns as she closes in on his ear, causing him to shiver violently from head to toe. “Why should I? You wish so badly to see him. I wonder…”

He swallows spit.

She whispers, “...if your friend wants to see you again too…”

Then she’s gone.

Sonic now realizes how dire the need is to escape and tries to, pulling on the handcuffs with little to no room to wiggle and free himself with. What about Knuckles? Was he even wherever the heck he was too? “Knuckles!” he tries again, louder this time.

Alas, there was nothing.
__________________________________________________________
The red echidna lay on a bed, opening his eyes partially and closing them slowly. He does this a few times, fighting sleep. He couldn’t speak, and his mouth was dry. Why was he so tired? He could hear Sonic, or what he thought was Sonic…but was it? He doesn’t know. It sounds distant and echoey. Everything was so blurry, and the lights above confused him. Were they bulbs or candle flames? Where was he? His eyes won’t open anymore. So tired...

“Big red! Are you out there?” Sonic calls out once again.

Said guardian feels a bit strange all of a sudden, and soon there is something cold touching his face. As he forces his eyes to open the best they can, he comes face to face with something blurry and white with two golden orbs staring back at him. His heavy lids force his eyes to close again, and he just lays there.

Curious fingertips run over his nose and slide down his parted lips. They continue to trail downward, feeling across his sculpted torso and toward his waist. Another hand joins the first as they fan outward to mold around his sides and grab onto his hips. This earns the entity a weak moan, and she cannot believe what he says after that.

“Sonic?”

Golden eyes widen.

Oh, this was too good.

The ghost glances back across the dark room to where the hedgehog had been tied to a pole that ran from the floor to the rickety ceiling. She smirks devilishly.

“Knuckles!” Sonic cries out, happy to hear a response at last. “Are you okay?”

When Knuckles doesn’t respond, the ghost does for him, using the echidna’s voice after only hearing it once. “I’m fine.”

“You don’t sound fine,” Sonic says with growing concern.

She thinks of what to say as she glances back at the crimson male. Maybe if she just played along she could hit two birds with one stone. The tricky part was figuring out how to do so…

The cobalt sat there for another moment, waiting for red to respond.

Meanwhile, it became evident to the spirit that there was something between the two, and she seems to figure this out rather quickly. She could feel it; the tension, the longing, the love for one another. It was all there, but what to do about it?

Sonic continues to struggle in his binds. He grunts a few times as he pulls and yanks on the ropes holding him, but to no avail. He gives up and presses the back of his head against the pole, feeling his quills move slightly before getting a bright idea.

He lets his quills bristle, sharpening just enough to cut at the cloth and tear through enough to allow it to fall from his eyes. Just as he manages to open them, he is greeted by the horrifying sight of her pale white face. He only gets a glimpse of her stunningly sharp yellow eyes and wicked smile before something presses up against his mouth and his vision starts to blur when he tries to inhale. Emerald eyes roll into the back of their owner's head, and he’s out.
__________________________________________________________
For a moment, Sonic comes back to consciousness as he feels himself being dragged across what he can only image was the floor. He only manages to open his eyes enough to see the shadows on the ceiling. After a few brief moments of mumbling incoherent questions, he blacks out again.
__________________________________________________________
When he comes to, he’s lying on a bed, Knuckles next to him. He sits up and lifts his head as he looks around, noticing a strange purple bubble completely surrounding the bed. “What?” Still handcuffed, he turns around a full three-sixty degrees using his feet.

What was going on now?

...and…

He glances over to the guardian who was still asleep, and something shiny catches his eye. It was something purple and shining like glitter wrapping around his friend’s wrist. Why was he wearing a bracelet? Was he wearing that before?

“Impressive, isn’t it?” a voice interrupts.

Sonic jumps. His eyes narrow in on the problem. “You!”

“I?” the ghost inquires as she steps forth from the shadows. Her looks were rather interesting: Skin a luminescent white with two glowing golden orbs for eyes, and freakishly long black hair that almost touched the ground.

“What about you?”

The hedgehog thinks about the question, confusion written all over his face. “What about me?”

“Naive. I like that. You don’t know his secrets, do you?”

“Secrets?” Sonic asks, taking the bait.

She snaps her fingers and the echidna laying next to him begins to stir. His face heats up, and his back suddenly arches.

Sonic’s eyes widen as he watches his friend moan and move about where he lay. His mouth parts open and his brows raise. It looks as if he’s dreaming. Was he in trouble? The hero blushes as he hears the echidna starting to call out his name. At first it was quiet and almost innocent, and then became more evidently needy as he got louder.

Inevitably, he’s forced to watch his comrade having what appears to be a wet dream, something Sonic mistakes for a nightmare.

He wants to shake him awake.

The witch-like spirit laughs before pressing her large chest against the forcefield, letting her long purple tongue fall down to her chin, then licking it upward slowly against the smooth surface.

Sonic cringes as he watches her do this and scowls.

She makes her move. “I don’t need magic to tell you how he feels about you.”

He wants to question it, but she’s now staring at the sleeping echidna with a crazy look in her eyes. Who the heck was this girl, anyway?

“You better let us go,” Sonic warns, glaring daggers at her, "...or else…"

She pulls away from the purple bubble to run one finger along it as she walks around from the right to left side. “...and what if I don’t? You shan’t kill me. I am already dead! So…I have a proposition for you,” she smiles.

Again, the cobalt bites. “Oh yeah?” He couldn’t resist a challenge. Hook, line, and sinker.

“Quite. You see, I tend to feel a bit peckish when I lack the proper...nutrients that I require.”

Red continues to squirm next to blue.

“I ain’t a snack, lady,” Sonic crosses his arms in a huff. He’s had enough of her talking. A large hand falls on the cobalt’s lap.

“In order to free yourself, you must return his feelings. You want to escape? Give in to your desires...”

It's now apparent to him that Knuckles isn't having a nightmare.

Blue ears bend back.

Um.

Sonic glances back to Knuckles who’s hand was currently inching up his leg and toward his inner thigh. He picks up the mit and places it back on the bed next to the guardian’s head. “No way.” Knuckles was his friend. She was trying to trick him into…

His mind trails off. She wanted them to what now?

“So innocent,” she whispers to herself. “Do this, and I will keep my word… Don’t, and you will earn yourself a gruesome fate,” the spirit advises, backing away and fading into the darkness followed by a short giggle.

Sonic feels strong fingers graze his chest and his attention reverts back to the crimson mobian. He feels his face flush as the hand presses down on his stomach, and soon Knuckles is crawling overtop of him.

“Knux?” the hero questions, head pressing back into a pillow. This isn't good. Out of all the things that they could have fought on this adventure, they were fighting against being forced to do…those things to each other...

He feels Knuckles’s legs snake between his own. Sudden silence. Emeralds fall onto amethyst. Sudden heat.

Muzzles linger close and mouths part open, the two taking a moment to study each other as their lips slowly close the distance between them.

Sonic doesn’t understand it, but it feels good. Even though his heart was in his throat, he can’t help but to enjoy the feeling and attention.

Meanwhile, Knuckles is out of his mind. He thinks this is just a good dream, and of course it feels too good to be true. His tongue intertwines with the cobalt’s. A peach chest presses up into his own white crested, and a red arm loops behind the small of Sonic’s back. The hog’s head snaps to the left, exhaling a hot puff of air with half-lidded eyes. He needs to catch his breath. The guardian goes for the neck and chest, earning a pleasurable groan from peach lips. He nips playfully. Sonic squirms.

The spirit watches intently, reaping the energy they gave off while casting her spell upon them both.
This was the first part of her plan. Step one: loosen them up. She waves her fingers slowly in the shadows, hexing them. Unbeknownst to her victims, she uses her magic to bend and mold them to her liking. For now, the show was enough for her…but for how long?

Sonic hardly sees her there in the dark, and his strained eyes try desperately to stay open to focus on her figure.
Kisses trail down his stomach. He has to try to stop himself from crying out when a kiss exposes his hidden pouch. His haunches tense, not realizing how much he’s teasing the echidna.

Said red decides to let his tongue intrude.

Green eyes close, shutting tight, and the hot hog’s a mess. Sharp quills bristle out astray while cheeks burn from the heat of the moment. He’d never felt so aroused, and he could hardly say no.

Yet, there was the little subconscious thought in the back of his head that slowly made its way frontward. This wasn’t supposed to happen. No, it didn’t feel right. She must have been causing this. 'This is what she wants!'
Sonic breaks from his haze, and fights the other. His foot comes up and manages to push his friend back by the chest with it. “Knuckles, wake up,” he groans, causing the echidna to snort and sit up quickly, waking up fully. Violet eyes widen. As their owner’s strong hands pull back from the hedgehog, red realizes what’s going on, and he’s perturbed by it.

“Sonic, I--” Strong cobalt legs pull him back down.

Knuckles is interrupted by Sonic’s mouth on his mouth and he’s being shushed. He tries to ask what’s going on, but the hero continues to kiss him, hoping to shut him up. At least Knuckles was free from the spell, but for how long? He had to get him in on it, the plan that he just made up that is.

Sonic pulls from the kiss and presses the side of his face against the echidna. “Shut up, and listen,” he whispers. Knuckles holds still. “I'm going to break our new bracelets so we can get out of here. Thing is, my hands are kind of tied up at the moment.”

Knuckles pulls back a little to see Sonic smiling nervously. He can’t help but notice his red cheeks, and then the bracelet around his own wrist, the one he had mentioned. Taking it in his opposite hand, red is about to crush it when the ghost returns. Her face closes in on the forcefield, and she doesn’t look happy.

They both turn to look at her.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” she advises, tsk’ing afterward with glowing yellow eyes.

The two sit up.

Sonic scowls. “What’s your deal, anyway?”

“Who is that?” Knuckles questions.

“Our ghost.”

“I prefer the name Scarlett,” she pipes in, running her nails slowly down the forcefield.

“If you wanted to kill us, you would have done it by now,” Sonic goes on. He wasn’t wrong. If she truly had the intent to kill, she wouldn’t be wasting her time. So what was stopping her? “What is it that you really want?”

"I told you…" There was a short pause as her head tilts to the side, and she genuinely looks deep in thought. “...What I want…”

Knuckles catches her eye, and she smiles.

“...is to watch you two fulfil your fantasies…”

His face heats up.

Sonic looks away, embarrassed to think about it. He felt sick. They were best friends. There was no way Knuckles could possibly like him like that; not with the way he's been acting towards him lately. Cold shoulders and distance seemed like running themes with the guardian of the Master Emerald. Maybe he really didn't enjoy these missions with just the two of them. He couldn't even think about it without questioning it. Did…did he like him, though? He always wanted him to go on all these missions... Was it because he was useful or because he wanted the company?
Sonic closes his eyes, brooding on the subject.

"So what'll it be?" Scarlett proposes, "Sex or death?"

Knuckles balls up his fists. "Why you little--"

"Can it and just get it over with," Sonic sneers, earning a bitter look from his crimson friend.

"What?"

Sonic smiles. "Just do me," he says softly.

The two only stare at each other.

Sonic had to test his theory. He leans in and locks lips with the echidna, and the other jumps slightly in surprise. It doesn't take long before Sonic is leaning back to lay down, mouths still locked together, and Knuckles's hands slowly wrap around the hedgehog without a fight. This felt…more natural, Sonic notices. It wasn't forced like before. Maybe Knuckles actually liked him, after all.

Red breaks from the kiss to catch his breath before he feels Sonic's face close in on the side of his head.
"Remember the plan," Sonic reminds him quietly, and Knuckles nods gently before taking peach fur into his mouth and biting down a little. The cobalt yips then smiles. Maybe this won't be so bad.

'Why is he letting me do this to him?' Knuckles thinks, pulling on the skin between his teeth. He asks himself if this is a dream come true or just one really coincidental situation. He supposes everything happens for a reason, and he can't stay mad at that.

Big mits feel for the handcuffs behind Sonic's back, and manages to pull one hard enough to break it, freeing a hand. Blue's body muffles the sound of the metal snapping, and the two carry on.

The echidna's mouth finds the hedgehog's, and their tongues began to swirl around each other once more. What Knux doesn't expect is the member of his self-proclaimed best friend poking at his stomach. His eyes widen. Sonic is looking like he's totally okay with what was happening even though a creepy ghost lady was lingering right over there in the darkness getting off on all this.

If only under different circumstances…

Sonic smirks once Knuckles pushes himself up a little to look down and see it. The echidna almost panics, but the hero speaks up; "It's okay, pal."

Knuckles hesitates.

"You can do this."

Why did he have to be so good?

A shaky hand takes a hold of the hog's member, and Sonic is suddenly in heaven. His spiky back arches, and he moans out pleasurably as Knuckles jerks him off slowly.

The guardian's face was almost as red as his fur. He watches his friend melting underneath. It was all because of that stupid ghost, or at least that's what he wanted to believe. He didn't know anymore.

Sonic's eyes open partially to look up at him, and Knuckles swallows hard. He watches peach lips mouth 'Don't stop', and smile right after. Such a tease.

Two blue legs lift up, and red knees slide under their thighs.

His own erection pokes and prods beneath the hero's tail, begging for its turn.

Knuckles pleads with his eyes for lack of being able to ask him verbally, and in return Sonic nods.

The head breaks entry and slides right in about halfway then stops when a choked scream leaves peach lips.

"-Sorry!" Knuckles apologizes quickly, hoping he wasn't hurting him too bad.

Surprisingly, Sonic gets used to it fast, and chuckles quietly. "I told you not to stop, bud."

Offended, Knuckles scrunches his nose. "I'm not your bud." He pushes in all the way, and the other gasps. 'How dare he! Bud.'

Strong hips pull out only to slam back in.

"So you're my boyfriend now?" Sonic inquires once he's able to catch his breath, then he's slammed into again.

"What the hell are you-" and again, "-talking about?"

"Like- Ah!~" One eye closes while the other stays trained on the echidna above. "You like me, right?"

Knuckles grits his teeth. "Do we really gotta have this talk-" He thrusts into him again mid sentence. "-right now?!"

"I'm just-" Sonic moans out, feeling his prostate taking the blow. "-curious!" His voice raises as do his eyebrows.

Shit, that look was hot.

"Stop acting cute," Knuckles scolds him.

"You think I'm cute?" Sonic muses.

The ghost sits idly by, her fingers pinching the skin between her eyes. Were these two seriously having a conversation about their relationship during their first time? Chaos.

Knuckles decides to go faster, aiming to enjoy this just as much as Sonic was. He just couldn't believe it. He never thought that at any given point in time would he have this opportunity.

Stars dance in their eyes, and Sonic pulls one hand out carefully from behind him to grab onto Knuckles's wrist. Feeling the bracelet between his thumb and index finger, he waits patiently for their opportunity.

After a few more minutes, the echidna's climax nears. "S-Sonic. I'm a-about to--"

One rough push, and the hedgehog screams out in ecstasy followed by a mess of sticky white liquid hitting their stomachs.

Knuckles is close too, and soon shudders when he finally caves in. His seed shoots up into the other's ass, warming him up from the inside as blue's forced to take it.

The moment red pulls out, Sonic crushes the bracelet in his hand, and then his own, causing the forcefield to crackle and disappear.

"What!?" Scarlett belts out, her hair raising up like tentacles out of sudden anger.

Knuckles gets up and cracks his namesakes while Sonic sits up and stretches.

"I feel relieved," the hero says, nonchalantly, "How about you?"

The guardian chuckles, "Yeah."

They both wipe away their mess and smile at each other. How romantic.

Their moment is destroyed when a screech bellows out, almost deafening the two. They cover their ears and look at one another before turning to watch the angry ghost heading towards them.

"You conniving bastards!" she exclaims, rising up into the air. Her hair fans out all around her as if she's underwater, and her teeth sharpened into points.

"Quick question before we throw down..." Sonic opens his arms as he sits on the edge of the bed. "Did you enjoy the show?"

He's answered with a shrill scream as she's flying towards him.

Before it was too late, a fist flies up and decks the vengeful spirit, sending her flying across the room. Knuckles puts up his fists.

"Way to go…boyfriend?" Sonic asks, and he's met with a glare.

"Don't push it."

The ghost is back, and angrier than before. Screaming, she lunges at the echidna with long, talon-looking claws. In a split second, he manages to dodge and grab her by the wrists. He starts spinning her around, using his heel as a point. Gaining enough momentum, he hurls her into the wall. When she hits, bright purple sparks shoot out and light up the wall for a moment before her body falls to the floor. As she slowly pushes herself up, she's crackling with the same spiritual electricity.

Sonic decides it's his turn, and jumps up, curling into a spin dash. With a high-pitched squeal, he bursts forward and slams into her. This causes a hefty purple explosion, and he's thrown back due to the blast. Knuckles catches him.

"My hero," the cobalt teases, making a kissy face toward him.

Violet eyes roll, and Knuckles groans before he drops him onto the ground.

Sonic shakes his head and sits up quickly, looking out toward the area where she'd last been. "She's gone?"

Knuckles squints. She didn't feel gone. If anyone knew anything about paranormal encounters, it was him. "Not quite."

"Well, we gotta find out what happened to those townsfolk, so let's get moving before she comes back."

Knuckles nods. "Right."

They both set out to venturing around the dark basement.

As much as he wanted to split up to look around, Knuckles remembers that his flashlight is MIA, and Sonic is a living one. The blue energy emits from the hedgehog's hands, and the two start investigating. "We've gotta be quick."

Sonic chortles. "You're telling me to be quick?"

"I said we," the echidna corrects as he picks up and turns over a jar with some unknown murky liquid inside.

"Aw," Sonic grins. "You did. So that means we're a thing now right?"

The flustered echidna snaps. "I said not to push it."

It was adorable how he was trying so hard to shrug it off when it was blatantly laid out on the table. It was like trying to ignore the elephant in the room. Knuckles was trying to, but Sonic's throbbing behind wouldn't let him forget.

A sudden banging catches their attention, and they spin around to look at an old bookcase.

"Help!" a muffled voice calls out.

"They're behind this bookshelf?" Sonic questions, wiping away the dust from one of the shelves and pinching it between his fingers to feel its grittiness.

"Did they hear us?" Knuckles asks almost too cautiously.

Sonic gives him a look. "Really dude?"

Knuckles shrugs then grabs a hold of a corner and tugs. He moves it aside easily, revealing a hidden door.

Sonic then notices the lock on it.

"It's locked," says Knuckles.

No shit. "Thanks captain obvious."

A familiarly horrible screech fills their eardrums and the guardian is knocked off his feet. When his back hits the wall, he grunts and falls to his knees.

Sonic takes action and dashes after their ghostly enchantress, but is met with the wall as well when he fazes through her and smacks into it for the lack of lighting in order to see it. He falls onto his partner and groans, rubbing his head. Knuckles shoves him off, and growls.

Scarlett slowly touches down onto the ground before creating a purple ball of light between her hands. She stretches it out into a string of spiritual electricity and sends it zapping toward them.

With no time to dodge, it captures them, pulling them together back to back. The purple light turns into physical rope. Both try to fight it, but become immobile as they sit on the floor.

"Only a fool would dare to hit a lady," she spits, her amber eyes glowing like blazing candle flames. "You should be ashamed of yourselves."

Sonic then decides to open his mouth. "Can the lecture spooky ghost lady, and get to the part where you tell us how you died and all that."

Irritated, but not so opt to deny it, she crosses her arms as she thinks. "I haven't had anyone to talk to in quite some time." She hums and lets her breasts rest overtop of them. "I suppose that because you won't make it out of here alive, I could spare some time to humor you."

Sonic sighs exasperatedly. "Finally! I've been asking for like, the whole time we've been down here."

"Let her talk then," Knuckles chimes in.

The spirit holds a hand out in front of her and projects a sphere of light, hovering just above her palm. In it, an image appears. It's the Inn.

"Over a thousand years ago, my husband and I opened up this establishment. It was a place for those who traveled near and far to stay and rest when they came through. When the village by the sea was being built, men and women came and went."

Sonic tilts his head. “Spagonia?”

Another image fazes through the first one. It was her and her alleged husband. They looked happy.

"He was a foolish man."

Welp. There goes that illusion.

"He never gave me the time of day, and never tried to. Though the poor fox was a dear, he was infertile. He could not bare me a child. After he stopped trying, I sought…other resources."

The next image appears, showing many other mobians.

"I had to, in order to feed my 'habit' as one may call it, swoon other men to do what my husband could not."
An image shows her pregnant, and her husband has an arm up, about to stab her with the knife he's holding.
"Unfortunately, my husband found out our unborn child wasn't his."

"That's terrible," Sonic speaks up.

"Indeed." She continues, letting the ball vanish, "I've been looking for the perfect mate ever since."

Knuckles squints. "You mean to tell me you want someone to get you pregnant? You do realize that--"

Sonic's head thunks the back of Knuckles's.

"Hey!" the echidna cries.

"Which one of us do you want?"

Scarlett lights up, smiling at Sonic's proposition.

Phase two of her plan was going accordingly.

"What?" Red questions.

"My, you're making me choose?" the spirit asks, placing a hand to her cheek as she hovers toward them. She gets down and starts with Knuckles. The flummoxed echidna doesn't quite understand what's happening at first until she licks her lips with her purple tongue and says; "I do enjoy the thought of brute strength, but this one is too stupid."

Did she just…

The guardian was starting to get it now. “...Hey!”

She shifts to the left and floats around to the other side to get a good look at Sonic.

He smiles devilishly. "Like what you see?" His brows wiggle.

Knuckles freezes, looking perturbed. 'He's such a-'

"Why yes."

'...and she's--' Knux continues.

"Then let's go," Sonic says, and Knuckles pretty much loses his mind.

"Are you kidding me?!"

This earns a poke from Sonic's finger into the echidna's lower back. When the ghost flies back across the room to find something sharp to cut them loose, Sonic turns his head so that he can whisper without her hearing.

"While I'm distracting her, I want you to free those guys. I can bust outta here myself."

"...and what if you can't?" Knuckles questions quietly. "She's a powerful thousand year old sex slave owner."

"Oh please," Sonic goes off, "I've fought and lived through worse."

Knuckles scowls. "Nice knowing ya."

"Oh, don't be like that. You're just mad because you're in denial."

"Denial? Why I outta--"

The spirit returns with a pair of scissors.

Sonic gives her that look again, and they're soon free from the binds. She grabs Sonic by the arm and tugs him along, leaving Knuckles behind.

A bad mistake on her part.

He turns and starts looking for a candle or something to light his way since his living flashlight was busy paying attention to some other lady. Was he jealous? An image of his dick shoved up Sonic's ass flashes through his mind, and he's blushing. Maybe he could face his feelings for Sonic, and just maybe they could be a thing. He had to admit that he really did enjoy what they just shared.

He shakes his head. "Not now, Knuckles. Get to the mission." Then he's off to save the townsfolk.

Sonic crawls overtop of the spirit who has manifested a physical form. She was very beautiful in her original state. She had white fur and not-as-long black hair, but her eyes were hazel, and her muzzle a light tan. For the first time, he realizes that she’s a fox just like her late husband. Due to her horrifying manifestation of a ghost, it was hard to tell what she originally was. All anyone saw was scary and ugly. Now, her gorgeous eyelashes blink slowly at him as he closes in, and a hand runs up her side to her face. She’s still abnormally cold to the touch. He cups her cheek and lets his thumb slide across her bottom lip. A puff of air leaves her, forming a small steam cloud.

'If I was straight, I probably would have hightailed it after her too,' he thinks to himself, keeping up his expert acting skills. 'I hope Knuckles isn't too mad.'

Mentioned echidna is yanking at the lock on the door to the hidden room where all the missing mobians were.

"You've come to save us?" A voice speaks up, earning a shush from their savior.

"Shut up. You're not saved yet." He pries it off carefully, and opens the door. "Everyone okay?"

The same guy takes Knuckles's hand since they couldn't see each other. "Yes, thanks to you. Good heavens, I never thought we would get out of here alive."

Knuckles scoffs. "That's what our ghostly host thinks, but I have other plans, and they involve staying alive."

Sonic kisses her sweetly, and runs a hand down along her breast. He stops there to squeeze it, and he has to question whether or not he likes this. Well, it doesn't take long to think about it as he pulls his hand away and continues to trail it down her stomach. Girls were still a foreign concept to him, but at least he liked them. This chick on the other hand wasn’t even alive. Does this make him a necrophiliac? He stops that thought from ruining the moment. He’d rather not to be honest. He had to be the distraction.

Knuckles manages to find a way out through the hole in the ceiling leading to the shed. He hoists them all up one at a time, and tells them to get out of here and head back home. After thanking him for all his help, they run off.
Now what about Sonic?

When Knuckles heads back over to where they would be, Sonic is sitting on the bedside, and the ghost is right there with him in her natural mobian form, rubbing his back, and…comforting him? He decides to listen in on their conversation and hides behind an old couch.

"It's alright, darling. I understand," she tells Sonic who's apparently crying.

"No, you really don't. I'm afraid that if I tell him how I really feel, then he'll never wanna see me ever again. I can't afford to lose him, Scarlett. He's my best friend." He wipes tears from his eyes.

Anyone who really knew Sonic has seen his acting skills. They were impressive, and this time was no exception.
The sympathetic ghost continues to rub his back and occasionally scritch in between his shoulder blades. "It'll be fine. Trust me. Just say what your heart tells you to, and don't hold back. You'll feel a lot better if you tell him."

"Yeah, well," Sonic spots the top of Knuckles's head out of the corner of his eye. Thankfully she still has no idea. "You know what. I'm going to tell him."

Knuckles cringes.

"I'm going to tell him that I love him, because that's what my heart says."

Red thinks about that jar he saw earlier. What was in it? He decides to go back and investigate while Sonic goes on and on about his feelings.

Making his way back to it, Knux picks up the large jar and tries to look through it in the dim lighting.

Something was in it, but…what exactly?

Scarlett kisses the cobalt's cheek. "You're so handsome. I can't imagine he could resist you again. He loves you, blue hedgehog."

"You could be right." He notices Knuckles is gone, and wonders what's up. "I just hope he accepts me."

"He will," she assures with a smile.

"You know, I'm really sorry for breaking down and everything. I know you're like, trying to get pregnant and stuff, but I've just got a lot going on right now, and I feel kinda blue. Is it alright if I just have a minute?"

He only needed one.

She awe's. "Of course, dear. Take your time."

"Thanks." Sonic gets up and slowly walks away while she continues to sit on the bed. It seems as though when she’s in her ghostly form she's more malevolent, and while in her mobian form, she chills out and acts normally. 'Okay, so as long as I don't piss her off…'

Sonic finally meets back up with Knuckles who holds up the jar. With a frown on his face, he hands it to the hedgehog who studies it. When Blue's about to turn the lid, a big hand stops him and then a finger wiggles back and forth. He takes the jar back and turns it on it's side revealing something horrific.

Looks like not only did the baby die too, but it was ripped from her dead body and preserved in a jar.

Quickly, Knuckles leads the way over to where he had helped the others escape.

This is when it clicks with the spirit that something's up, and she's suddenly ablaze with anger.

Hearing her scream, the two make their escape, and run out into the garden.

"Now what?!" Knuckles exclaims, holding out the jar.

"What?" Sonic exclaims back. "You mean to tell me you had no real plans with that thing?"

"Well, we've gotta do something about it!"

Her screams echo from the shed.

Knuckles hears Sonic say something, but was too busy to process it. "What?" he asks, turning to see the cobalt point to a spot in the garden.

"I said, look!"

Mushrooms.

"What about them?" the echidna asks, soon joining his side.

Sonic takes the jar from Knuckles and tells him to dig. Without questioning it, he does so, shredding through dry roots, rocks, and dirt. Soon, he comes across something oblong-shaped and pulls on it. A crack is heard, and he lifts it up to examine it. His blood runs cold.

"Quick! Uncover it!'

Knuckles snaps his head back with a crazy look in his eyes. "Are you kidding me?!"

A shriek pierces their ears, and Scarlett emerges. The two spot her and gasp.

Knuckles shuts up and digs.

Sonic smiles nervously at her. "Can we make it two minutes?"

When she lunges at the hedgehog, he tosses the jar at the shallow grave which hits the echidna in the back of the head before spinning and falling in. It breaks off a rock on the way down, and the baby's body rolls out and onto the skeleton's chest.

Knuckles quickly crawls out while trying not to vomit.

Meanwhile, Scarlett comes to a halt just in front of Sonic. She looks down to see a tiny ghost lying in her arms.
Her whole demeanor seems to shift, and she takes the form of her natural state. She studies the infant who opens his eyes for the first time. She inhales a shaky breath, and soon the ground beneath her begins to flourish with life, turning from grey and yellow to green and brown as the plants in the garden begin to grow and bloom.
Both Sonic and Knuckles turn every which way to witness the world around them come back to life. Though it was nighttime, the moonlight shined just enough to show the magic unravelling beneath them.

She begins to cry as her face buries into the baby's belly, earning a cheerful cry from the tiny pup.

"Looks like you won't be needing us after all!" Sonic says.

Knuckles face palms.

"Thank you," she says softly, looking up to the two who turn back to her.

"No problem." Blue nudges the echidna who rolls his eyes. "I'm glad you got your happy ending."

"Can we get outta here now?" the guardian suggests quietly, and Sonic nods.

Before them, the two spirits fade away into dust before blowing away with the wind.

Sonic throws an arm around Knuckles, and the two start off into the night on their way back to Spagonia. They were sure the townsfolk would tell the villagers of Aurora of their rescue.

Deciding to get a place to sleep in Spagonia, the two craft an alibi for the events of their mission so that they could present it to the mayor in the morning.
____________________________________________________________
Three weeks roll by, and a proud echidna lies peacefully under the Master Emerald on the floating Angel Island. He'd almost forgotten the events of their little ghost hunting mission if it weren't for one thing...

His communicator goes off, and he sits up, glaring at the device.

'Sonic' it read on the screen.

"Of course." Knuckles grumbles before answering it. "Sonic, I'm busy. What do you want?"

All he hears are sobs.

"Sonic?" he asks, concerned.

Realizing something was wrong, and caring deeply about his friend, he sets off to find Sonic. Since he wasn't saying what was wrong, Knuckles knew he had to go and talk to him himself.

It takes no time at all to get to his place, and he has him on the line the entire way there. He opens the door and walks inside, hearing the hedgehog ask where he was in both the communicator, and over in his bedroom down the hall.

"I'm here, Sonic," Knuckles tells him before hanging up. When he does, the door opens, and Sonic is standing in the way with a green face and a hand against his belly. "So tell me what's wrong."

"I'm pregnant."

Knuckles pales.

"...and you're the father…"

Red doesn't know what to say until he questions it. "I thought you were a dude?"

"I guess I'm both?" It sounded more like a question than a statement.

Knuckles has his doubts. "You're not just pulling my leg are you?"

Sonic takes his hand away from his stomach to show off a little bump. "Do I look like I am?"

"Shit." He didn't mean to say that outloud. "Well…"

Emerald eyes beg amethyst for acceptance.

This was all too sudden, but the echidna really didn't have any other choice. He walks in, and wraps his arms around the hero, burying his nose into the crook of his blue neck.

This earns him a sigh of relief from the hedgehog who hugs him back.
