"She heard a noise, and turned. Nobody was there. When suddenly, she heard a snarl behind her, and before she could scream or run..."

Knuckles paused , and looked at Tails hugging his Sonic plushie with wide eyes.

"Wh-What happened next, Knuckles?"

Knuckles got closer to Tails and shadows fell over his face as he said,

"It grabbed her ankle, pulled her down, and nobody ever heard from her again."

Tails gasped. "Are you serious?!"

"Of course. Legend says that it attacks every full moon, and once it sees you, nothing can–"

"Knuckles! Tails! What's going on?" Sonic asked coming from a bush.

It was night time, and the color started slowly regaining in Tails' face as his hero neared him.

"I was just telling Tails some legends." Knuckles said with a snicker. Sonic paused.

"Uh-huh... Tails, don't believe anything Knuckles says. He's an idiot."

"Hey, these aren't stupid tall tales, these are the legends of Angel Island."

"Come with me for a second."

Sonic grabbed Knuckles' arm, walked him to a different end of the woods, where Tails was out of earshot.

"Knux, next time, save your "Legends of Angel Island" for when we aren't visiting you here."

"Sorry. Tails wanted to know."

"You know he scares easily!"

"That's what's so great about it!"

"Look, I'm just saying... we're only here for 3 more days. Go easy on him, okay?"

"Whatever.

They walked back to the campsite and Tails jumped as he heard a bush move, and ran to Sonic dropping his plushie and giving him a hug.

"What's up, bro?" Sonic asked

"Sonic! It- I kept hearing things! I wanna go home!" Tails whimpered

"Are you scared, Tails?" Knuckles asked, grinning.

Tails blushed and let go of Sonic

"Of course I'm not scared! I-I mean, it was just a stupid story!"

Knuckles smugly folded his arms.

"Are you sure?"

"Knuckles, that's enough." Sonic said

"I don't mind the stories." Tails said, trying to sound brave

"Hmph. Then you wont mind that, will you?" Knuckles said pointing at a full moon.Tails gasped in shock and horror.

"You're pretty brave, then. Knuckles said.

"Knuckles, back off. Tails, go to bed." Sonic said

Tails quietly nodded, grabbed his plushie, and walked off. Knuckles laughed.

"Goodnight, Sonic."

Sonic shook his head, and walked away.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Tails curled under his blanket and waited for sonic to put out the campfire.

"Night, Tails."

"Night, Sonic." Tails muttered.

Sonic put out the campfire, and Tails felt a chill go down his spine, squeezing his Sonic plushie for dear life. He heard Sonic get comfortable and start snoring. Tails tried to forget the stories and full moon, but then he heard it. Footsteps. He felt his heart pounding quickly and harshly.

'Sonic will protect me... I'll be fine...' Tails told himself

He heard them again, then peeked out of his blanket to see a shadowed figure. Tails gasped, and went back under his blanket, squeezing his Sonic plushie for dear tighter, and sniffling.

'It's all in my head, it's all in my head... knuckles is lying...' he told himself

The footsteps got closer, and Tails felt himself shaking harshly.

Suddenly it grabbed his shoulder, and he shrieked running to Sonic and shaking him awake.

"Huh? Wh-what's up, bro?" Sonic asked.

"Sonic! There's a-a-a- THING! And it grabbed me! A-and I could've died!"

He hugged Sonic, crying, and Sonic sighed and pat him on the back.

"Calm down, bro. You know I'll always be here to protect you..." Sonic said, and Tails could tell that he was kinda annoyed.

"Sonic, I'm scared."

"Calm down, big guy. You can sleep next to me, tonight. Okay?"

"Allright."

"Okay, get your stuff and park it here. I promise nothing'll happen. All right?"

"Okay, Sonic."

Tails grabbed his stuff and put it where Sonic was pointing. Tails got comfortable, and sonic said,

"Don't believe any of Knuckles' stories. He was just out to scare you."

"Okay, Sonic."

Tails closed his eyes, and heard Sonic start to snore again. He calmed down, focusing more on the snoring and stars than the Legends. Suddenly he heard it again. The footsteps. He squeezed his plushie tighter and looked at Sonic.

'If I wake him up again, he's going to kill me...' Tails thought.

He saw the shadow, heard a snarl, and made a run for it. He ran as fast as he could, squeezing his plushie, when he tripped on a tree root and dropped it. He got up and kept running until he heard his heart pounding too fast, and fell to the floor exhausted. Suddenly, the whole forest seemed to come alive with demonic life and Tails passed out.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

In the morning, Sonic woke and stretched saying,

"See, Tails? Everything turned out o– Tails?"

Sonic looked around the campsite and got a little bit confused.

"Where are you, buddy?"

He saw Tails' pillow and blanket, but nothing else. He ran to Knuckles and said,

"Have you seen Tails?"

"Um, no. Why?"

"Because he's missing and it's all because of your stupid story!"

"Hey, he chose to believe them." Sonic paused

"Were you at our campsite last night?"

"Yeah, for like, 1 minute."

"Why?"

"I was gonna apologize to Tails, but he flipped when I shook him to see if he was still awake. So I hid. Then he slept next to you and I started leaving when I heard your stomach growl. I ran off, and that was that."

"Did you see him leave?"

"No."

"Well, we need to find him."

"I need to watch the master emerald."

"I don't care."

"I'll send a search party, how's that?"

"Fine."

"Good, now go away."

With no more words said, Sonic bolted off and looked around for signs of his furry friend.
