      Are you afraid of vampires? And rightly so! After all, they are voracious and in order to live, they need to drink blood. They are even ready to drink the blood of their loved ones, whom they loved before, when they were still human. Typically, vampires only appear in movies, comics, books, TV series and games. They say that in real life there are never vampires. However, I became convinced that they could possibly appear even in real life. I personally experienced this myself and, having become like this, I almost died from thirst. How did I become like this? This is what I want to tell you about.

      One night Rouge herself flew to visit me. We had a tea party and talked until the morning about everything that each of us had experienced. Rouge talked as usual about her own things, and also how she, as usual, made fun of and mocked Knuckles, and also helped and encouraged Shadow. And I told her about how I once became a werewolf and a demon, which I already told you about once, as you remember! But tonight, when it was Rouge’s turn to tell her stories, that’s when that same story began. — Can you imagine what I learned today, Sonic? — What? — I heard one such horror show on the radio this morning and learned from it that vampires usually appear because ordinary bats bite them and drink their blood. Due to one bite from a bat or a vampire himself, a person will immediately or after some time become a vampire and will be immortal, as well as forever young. At the same time, he will be cursed. The sun's rays from the light of day will burn him greatly and vampires can burn in the light of day and then die. Although sometimes there are vampires who are not afraid of the sun and do not burn in it, but on the contrary, they reflect the sun’s rays and shine themselves. But the most important thing is that they will never need food and drink again, because in order to live they will be forced to hunt other people and drink their blood, biting them for this. — Interesting! Why did you tell me this? — It’s just that when I heard about all this, I thought... I’m essentially a bat myself... Doesn’t this mean that if I bite someone, then someone bitten by me, through my fault, can become a vampire? — Haven’t you done this before? — That's the point, no. I've never bitten anyone before. I've never even drunk blood in my life. But I'm still interested. I really don't know how to check this. Shadow will probably refuse, Omega is a robot, which means he is no good, and everyone else will probably refuse. — Hmm... — I scratched my chin and asked: — What if you try this on me? — What? — Rouge looked at me questioningly. — Are you serious? — Why wait? If you don't try, you won't know! Let's! You and I will make sure that there may be only fantasy and nonsense on the radio for the sake of interest and plot, but in real life there will probably be nothing bad. — Okay. I will try. — she said a little shyly, got up from the chair and came up to me. She stood behind me and began to lightly bite me on the neck with her fangs. No, it didn't hurt. And she didn’t even try to bite me, as if she herself was afraid of hurting me from this. I quietly grabbed her by the head and pulled her sharply towards me. Then she grabbed my neck with her sharp fangs and pierced it with them so much that I screamed for a couple of seconds. Rouge suddenly pulled away and began to spit, and I scratched my bitten neck. - Ugh! Ugh! Why so abruptly, Sonic! Ugh! Ugh! For the first time in my life... Ugh! I drink blood... Ugh! Hedgehog. Ugh! That's disgusting! And why did everyone decide on the radio that for... Ugh! Bats and vampires' blood is... Ugh! Tasty? I gave her wet salvet and she wiped her mouth. — Thank you, Sonic. Are you hurt? — Everything is fine! It's just a bite. — I assured her and my neck stopped itching, although it still hurt a little, but not so much. — How are you feeling? — Yes, it seems normal! — I answered her. By the way, I actually felt good at first and there were no changes. — You are sure? — she asked me a little incredulously and worriedly. — Yes. Honestly. It's just that the neck itself only hurts a little. — Sorry! I tried lightly, and you grabbed me and pulled me hard on my neck. — Okay, forgive me too. I just wanted to check very quickly and carefully whether I would really become a vampire if you bit me properly or not? — I explained to her. — Fine. — she answers me and sits down at the table next to me. She takes another sip of tea from her cup and speaks. — So! Let's continue the conversation? — Certainly. — I told her and also drank some tea from my cup. While Rouge was talking about something else, I started to feel sleepy and somehow I didn’t feel very well. It feels like vampirism has begun to act slowly. I even groaned as I laid down at the table. — What happened to you? — she asks me, and I lost consciousness and cannot answer. Suddenly I opened my eyes. My eyes this time were not emerald, but violet. I immediately pounced on Rouge without control, grabbed her neck with my teeth, bit her so hard that she screamed louder than me, and then lost consciousness. I somehow managed to drink her blood from her neck through my teeth. When I quenched my thirst, I was immediately scared when I saw Rouge in my arms. — Oh, Chaos! What have I done? — I asked myself. She lay unconscious in my arms, and on her neck there were the same two holes as mine. I put her in my gomak, and I looked at myself in the mirror. I was horrified by what I saw. The remnants of the blood I drank appeared in my mouth. The blood itself seemed tasty even to me, like candy when I pissed myself off a little. And two more fangs on top of the teeth. — "Oh no!" — I thought. — “It still worked. Rouge, since she is a bat, bit me and I still became a vampire! Oh Chaos! What will happen to me now? I'm so ashamed and scared! I... I... I'm hungry!... I urgently need to drink blood and quench my thirst!... No, no! I can't! I shouldn't... I should! Blood! I want blood!" Now all my thoughts were only about blood. I tried to fight and resist, but the thirst was stronger than me. Unable to restrain myself, I sniffed and ran to hunt for my friends. I suddenly had the ability to smell blood at a very far distance from myself and I followed the smell like a mosquito. After leaving my house, I ran towards the smell of blood and ran to Amy. She walked and sang. How I wish I couldn’t help but scream to warn her of the danger and ask her to run away from me. However, my thirst only made me hiss and sneak. When she finally turned to me, she was not at all afraid of me. — O! Sonic, hello, I’m here... — she didn’t have time to finish, as I immediately ran around her from behind, bit her on the neck and began to suck her blood. She didn’t even have time to scream, but became lethargic and tired, hibernating, saying: — O-o-oh!... It seems... I-I... Overstayed What was I doing? How could I do this to her? I shouldn't have! Having finished sucking the blood out of her, I laid her on the ground and left her there, while I ran towards the smell of my next victim. I ran home to Tails, and he was just sleeping in his bed. I was almost close to his neck and prepared to bite him, but he suddenly woke up and hit me in the face with a frying pan. I was in pain and my teeth and fangs fell out. But then I quickly grew new teeth and fangs. The brother turned out to be quite smart and brave. — DON'T YOU DARE BITE ME, YOU UNDRIED VAMPIRE!!! — he shouted to me. But suddenly I was enveloped in some kind of purple haze, similar to an aura, and my legs flew up above the floor. I could now fly even without super form. This is probably the super ability of any vampire. I ran into my brother, but he managed to dodge and flew into the street. I flew after him and hissed: — Give me your blood, brother! — Never! Try to take it away! — he told me. Having reached one of Eggman's traps, he lured me there and soared sharply into the air, and I ran into the trap and got caught. Now I was inside a glass cube that I couldn’t break through. From lack of blood, I began to weaken and fall to the floor, feeling that I was going to die. — Don't worry, Sonic. You will sit here until I come up with a vaccine for you. However, I lost consciousness again and only said: — I... Hunger... — I close my eyes with a doubtful sigh.

      I was suddenly awakened by Rouge herself while I was lying at my desk at home. She shook me by the shoulders and said: — Sonic, Sonic, wake up! — A? What? — Sonic, didn’t you get enough sleep? This is the third time you’ve fallen asleep at the table while I’m talking. Aren't you interested? I looked around and felt that the same bite from her was still on my neck. At the same time, I felt good. I didn't turn into a vampire at all. So it was just a dream? I must have fallen asleep because I didn’t sleep well then and woke up too early. — Sorry, Rouge. I'm very interested, I just woke up too early today and forgot to take a nap this evening before our meeting. — Oh, sorry. Dont know. Maybe I’d better come to you tomorrow, otherwise Shadow is still waiting for me, and I promised to help him with Beretta. — she answers me, put the cup on the table and flew away. She even waved her hand at me, and I just looked at her, yawned and went to sleep on my favorite hammock. This will be a lesson to me that I need to go to bed on time, not sit on the computer or phone on the Internet for too long and get enough sleep, so that in the future there will be no such funny situations as I dreamed that I really became a vampire after Rouge was bitten. It’s good that it was still a dream and not true!
