The ebony hedgehog eventually stopped, disposing of the body before his ears perked up - someone had entered his mansion. Perhaps a new victim for him and the vampire's fangs.

It turned out to be Sonic - he had entered the so-called "abandoned" mansion, mainly out of curiosity, but also because the blue hedgehog enjoyed adventuring.
