We waited for Nikki for awhile. I hope nothing happened to her. A owl swooped down and started to peck at me. "Shoo!" Shadow said shooing the bird away. The owl flew away. "I hate owls." I said. Shadow looked at me then looked away. Something's up with this hedgehog and I'm going to find out. "You ok?" I asked. "Yeah." Shadow mumbled. I don't think that he is ok. A group of bats started to fly at us. "Run!" Shadow said. We got up and started to run. The bats caught up with us and started to attack us. "Ow!" Shadow said. A bat bite me, no I'm not going to turn into a vampire. "Ouch! Why you little..." I said. I flew around the bats causing them to be in a mini tornado. I stopped the tornado and watched them fall to the ground. They flew away screeching. I looked at Shadow's arm and saw the he was bleeding. "Oh my gosh Shadow, you're bleeding." I said concerned. "I'll be fine, but look at you. You're bleeding as well." He said. I looked at me arm and it was indeed bleeding. I laughed. "Now we're going to turn into blood sucking monsters." I said. Shadow grinned. "I don't think that's how it works." He said. I gave Shadow an evil grin. "In that case, I'm going to suck your blood first!" I said. I pounced for Shadow, but he got out of the way. "You got to be a bit quicker then that." He said. I flew after him as he started to run. "I may be slow on ground, but in the air... I'm as fast as lightning!" I said. Shadow turned back as I flew into a tree. Shadow started to laugh his head off. A squirrel came scurrying down and threw an acorn at me. "Ow! You jerk!" I yelled at the squirrel. "Hey Shadow! A little help here?" I asked. "Ok, ok." Shadow said. He grabbed my ankles and pulled me out. "A squirrel threw an acorn at me." I said pointing to my eye. Shadow laughed again and helped me up. "AH!" Nikki yelled. She was carrying a plate of waffles. "You made Shadow smile!" She said shocked. Shadow quickly frowned. "I saw that." She snapped at him. She placed the plate of waffles down. "Bone appetite." She said giving us forks. We all ate the pancakes till there was nothing left. My stomach started to do summersaults. "Excuse me." I said. I ran to a bush and threw up. "Ah, is the pretty little princess sick?" Scourge asked. I glared at him. "I have Shadow and Nikki with me so-"
"AH! Ezra help!" I heard Nikki scream. I looked at Scourge as he was laughing. "What did you do to them?" I asked. "Oh, nothing. Yet." He said. "Here's the deal, you go out with me or you'll friends will die." He said. "You sick twisted hedgehog." I said. "Don't compliment me." He said. He pinned me against a tree. "What do you say?" he asked. "HELP!" I yelled. "No one can hear you in these woods." He said. "Don't be so sure." I looked over and saw Sonic and everyone else. "Let Ezra go." Amy yelled pulling out her hammer. Scourge started to laugh. and pulled out a little black box with a red button on it. "If anyone tries to save her, she'll be mine." He threatened. "Ezra got bit by a bat today which the gave her mind control poison." He said. "That doesn't make any sense." Tails complained. "Ugh, when I press this button Ezra's mind will belong to me." He said. I started tried to escape, but couldn't. Something punched Scourge. "Ow!" Scourge said rubbing his head. Espio appeared. "Espio!" I said hugging him. Scourge glared at him and pressed the button. I fell to the ground. "Ez-" "Shut up you freak show!" I said interrupting Espio.
