Knuckles and The Vampire

Unexpected Things

Sticks goes up to Rouge.

Sticks: Princess, you're not going to leave him there, are you?

Rouge: Of course I am.

Sonic: (Off-Screen) What?! 

Sonic then marches up to her.

Sonic: Princess Rouge, you know how young he is, he'll die by dawn! Give him a room or so help me-!

Rouge: Alright, but only because of your temper. 

She walks to the prison.

Sonic: Hey! ... No, wait, you're right.

Rouge: Why should I help him? He rejected me at the party.

At the prison...

Knuckles: *Cries* I'll stay strong and escape... I promise... 

He gasps when he hears Rouge opening the door.

Rouge: Get up, time to go your room.

Knuckles: But I thought...

Rouge: I thought you'd be more comfy in a warmer place.

As they walk Knuckles smells something in the air and goes to where it is without Rouge knowing. She opens a door.

Rouge: Okay, this is your room so-.

However, she sees Knuckles isn't with her and sighs in annoyance.

Rouge: When I get my hands on him... 

She goes off to find Knuckles. Meanwhile, Knuckles was following the smell with his really good nose. When he went in the dining room, he saw a nicely laid out dinner.

Knuckles: Whoa, that's a lot of food but I better not be greedy, I guess a roll will do.

He takes a bread roll.

Rouge: (Off-Screen) Where are you?! You can run but you can't hide!

Knuckles: Talk about bad temper... 

He then hears a giggle and looks around.

Knuckles: Who said that?

Marine: (Off-Screen) I did! 

She then appears from under the table.

Marine: It's okay, I don't bite. G'day, mate. 

Knuckles was shocked.

Knuckles: You're a vampire.

Sonic: (Off-Screen) Marine! There you are! How many times to I have to tell-!

He was rushing to her location but sees Knuckles and stops.

Sonic: Oh.

Sticks: Hola! Looks like you've seen a gho-.

She gets slapped by Amy.

Sticks: -Ow!

Amy: Of course, it does! He's talking to werecreatures and vampires.

Knuckles: This isn't real. How can-?! 

Suddenly, the doors open to reveal an angry Rouge.

Rouge: There you are! Where were you!?

Knuckles can't take any more of this and faints from shock.

Sticks: Nice going! You scared him to death! 

This prompted Amy to slap her again.

Amy: It wasn't just Rouge, Sticks. We might startled him too.

Rouge looks at Knuckles and picks him up as the others argue. She held him close and open the door to his room with her foot and placed him on the bed before staring at him for a moment. Knuckles must've been hungry and she didn't even think about it, making her realized why he wasn't with her. Soon, she left the room, looking at him as she closes the door.
