PoV: 3rd Person

  The black and scarlet furred hedgehog kept up his guard. The switch blade in his pocket was opened as low growls continued. Eyes narrowed on their target as they waited.

  Blood splattered in a split second. The darkness allowed Shadow to see nothing but those white pupils. Sharp teeth sunk into Shadow's arm, the flesh attempting to be pulled off from the bone then and there. The pocket knife was jammed deep in so the stomach of the predator. Ignoring the pain from the blade, those Sharpe teeth bit harder, being to crack the bone in their way of a good bite.

"Ahh!" Shadow shouted and claws dug into his other arm holding the knife.

  A pedestrian heard the shout and immediately called the police, afraid to disappear like innocent people had been disappearing.

  The police rushed over as Shadow continued to struggle to pull the cannibal from his flesh.

"Fuck!" Shadow ripped his arm from the sharp fangs.

  It was fight for his life. Claws dug into Shadow. A bite to his shoulder and claws sunk into his throat. The switch blade had done nothing to the predator.

  NO! SHADOW!

  The predator stopped hearing the voice in its subconscious.

"Freeze!" Guns pointed his way.

  The black and white eyed predator jumped away from the no unconscious Shadow who lost a fatal a mouth of blood. Guns were fired and one bullet broke through an azure and peach pelt.

"Damn..." the sharp teeth growled, "Now I'm starving..."

  It rested on a roof, lucky that the blood on its fur made him unrecognizable to anyone.

"Damn..." he lifted his shirt to see the stab wound and the bullet hole.

  He made it home and quickly made it to the bathroom. He stitched his own wounds and pulled the bullet from his body. He soaked his clothing to remove the blood and washed his fur. The sun rose and black eye were replaced with filled emerald eyes.
                                                                        
                                                                        
PoV: Sonic

"Fuck!" I collapsed. I was in pain.

  I didn't wake up in bed, there was no feeling to vomit. I had no clothing by a towel.

"Oh chaos... no..." I had stiches in two spots on my stomach... "What did you do to me?!"

"My prey escaped."

"Stop it! Stop killing them! Leave them alone!"

"I never got to eat."

  I stumbled as I walked into the bathroom. A silver bullet was in my sink along with blood.

"Chaos..." I fell back and knocked the drawer I had over. Crashes from my things hitting the ground was an obnoxious noise.

  My heart stopped when I heard my phone ring.

"H... Hello..." My voice was shaky. I couldn't keep my tone steady.

"Sonic, I'm coming to pick you up," Knuckles had called me.

"W... why..." I can't... I can't be around them. No while he's still hungry...

"Shadow's in the hospital."

  What...

  My screen cracked as my phone slipped through my hand and hit the floor.

  Shadow's in the hospital... Did he do that...

"Sonic!" My phone was shouting at me.

"...Knuckles," I held the phone, "How... how did it-?"

"He was attacked by some mobian. No body saw their face. The only one who'd know it's Shadow, and he hasn't woken up."

   I hung up the phone and looked into the mirror.

"... what have you done... exe... why... why did you go after my friend..."
