Two Sides of Me

Chapter 1: The Beginning

Sonic's P.O.V

I was walking down the street, minding my own business. I checked my watch. The time said 7:30. It had been just a usual day for me: Fighting crime, and just hanging with my friends. The sky was streaked over with pink, orange and gold. Just looking at all the colors made me feel free. I always loved looking at the sunset, but tonight it was special, but I wasn't sure why.

I was just on my way home when I had a feeling I was being followed. I got that feeling a lot ever since I moved here, but I'm pretty much used to it by now, so I ignored it. When I was almost home, I heard a familiar voice.

Mystic's P.O.V

I was in town, looking for Sonic. I couldn't wait to tell him about a new spell that I had just learned, and I knew that he wouldn't mind if I tested it on him. I was waiting for him near his house when I saw him walking down the street.

"Hey, Sonic!" I called to him. He turned and saw me running towards him. I'm a cheetah, but I have pure white fur with sky blue spots. My eyes are a shiny metallic silver. She wear a flowing purple dress and hold a crystal staff with a carved dragon's head in her right hand. Sonic smiled and waved to me.

"Hey, Mystic. Any new spells lately?" He asked. I'm a sorceress, and always trying to learn new spells. I got really excited, but was careful not to yell at him. "Well, normally I would say no, but this time, I have been able to learn a new spell. I haven't cast it yet, but I've heard it's safe." I replied. I could tell that he could hear a little bit of shyness and worry in my voice. I kinda blushed in anxiety, making the spots on my face look purple. He just smiled at me as I looked away, trying to hide it.

I then told her, "If it'll make you feel better, I'll let you test the spell on me. So long as it's not a water spell." She smiled at me. "It's not a water spell. It's just a transfiguration spell. Perfectly safe and painless." She told me reassuringly. I sighed with relief. "Meet me at my castle. You remember how to get there." She told me. I smiled and said "You know it. I'll be there." Mystic smiled at me. She then disappeared in a silvery shimmer. I sighed. I always love it when she talks to me. "Wow." I thought. "What a cat."

Realizing that it was starting to get dark, I started to walk away. "This'll be cool. I can't wait until she casts the spell. Nothing can go wrong tonight." I thought to myself. I was unaware how wrong I was…
