Beauty and the Werehog
Once upon a time a young Hedgehog lived in a Shining mansion. He was a cold hearted hedgehog who cared for nothing but himself. One cold night an old beggar woman arrived at the mansion, she offered a single black rose in return for shelter from the cold. The hedgehog was repulsed by her ugliness and turned her away. She warn him not to judge a book by its cover, the hedgehog still turned her away. Suddenly she transformed into a beautiful enchantress. "please, forgive me" the hedgehog begged her. The enchantress punished him by turning him into a hideous werehog. She gave him a magic mirror and the enchanted black rose, telling him that the rose will bloom until his 21st birthday and if he doesn't find someone to love and for them to love him back before the last petal falls. He'll stay as a Werehog… forever.
Years went by and the werehog felt like he'll never find love. In a small village nearby the mansion, a beautiful young Black hedgehog named Shadow hurried through town to get to the bookstore. He was greeted by the townspeople as he ran to the bookstore. "ah, Shadow. How are you today?" the owner asked, getting a book. "I'm okay, mama is working on something back home" Shadow said looking around. The owner walks to Shadow and gives him a book. "here, my gift to you" the owner said. "are you sure?" Shadow asked, looking at the book. the owner smiled and told him that it's okay for him to have the book. Shadow thanked him and walks out reading his new book, a dreamy look crossed his face as he reads the book. As Shadow walked home a pink hedgehog named Amy Rose ran after him. "Shadow, the whole town's talking about you" Amy said, seeing the book. Shadow gave her a dark look. "I really don't care what the people say about me" Shadow said, going back to his book. "it's not right for a man to read!" Amy yelled. Shadow stopped and looked at her. "was that the town saying that, or is it just you?" Shadow said dryly. Amy grabs the book off of Shadow. "it's about time you got your black nose out of those books and paid attention to more important things" "like what Pink brat?" Shadow asked. "like me Shadow and one day you'll be my husband" Amy said dreamily. "oh fuck off" Shadow said taking his book back and runs off. At the cottage, where Shadow and his mama live, Shadow found his mother on the floor she was black. "mama what's going on!?" Shadow asked, putting his book down and helps his mum up. His mother pulls off her glasses and looks at her invention. "this fucking thing isn't going to work" she said, kicking it. Shadow looks at it, it was for keeping all 7 chaos emeralds safe and can use the emeralds power for good. "it will mum, you just need to do this" Shadow does something to the invention and it starts to work. "oh my, I have a special son!" she said, hugging him. Shadow hugs his mum back and tells her what Amy said. "oh fuck her Shadow, if you want to read you read, if you want to love a boy you love a boy!" Shadow's mother said. Saying the boy bit Shadow went red. "right, I'll get ready for the fair" she said walking off. After 15 mins Shadow's mother was ready to hit the road, she hugs her son. "Shadow, I'll be back in a week. Till then take care of yourself" she said, kissing his head. "I will mum and good luck" Shadow said smiling. His mum get's onto her Rapidash and sets off, Shadow waves as she leaves. "good-bye mama! And good luck!" he yelled.
Night fell as Shadow's mother, Karina, was still trying to find the fair. "I think we're lost Rapidash" Karina said, looking at her map. Rapidash looked into the darkness to see yellow eyes, in fear Rapidash reared up and bolted away. When Rapidash reared up Karina fell off and landed on the grass. The yellow eyes moved closer to show they were wolfs. Karina get's up and runs away as the wolfs followed her, she sees a old mansion. She get's to a tall gate and looks back, the wolfs were getting closer, She opens the gate and closed it shut. Karina turn round and walked to the doors of the mansion, she opened the door and walks in. "hello? I've lost my Rapidash and I need somewhere to stay for the night" Karina called out. Nothing, she walks into a room to see a dragon. "of course miss, you are welcome here" the dragon said bowing. "a dragon? I never thought Dragon were real" Karina said. The red bird like dragon shows Karina to the sofa and Karina sits down. "Spyro, Camo! We have a guest" two dragons run in with a girl with pink hair. "hello our guest, what can we do for you?" the girl asked. The green dragon called Camo gives Karina a cup of tea, the purple dragon named Spyro starts the fire in the fireplaces and the red dragon called Sunburn takes Karina's coat off. "thank you" Karina said smiling. The girl bows, suddenly a dark shadow walks into the room, a voice boomed. "there's a stranger here…" Karina jumped off of the sofa. She turned round to look into green eyes. "p-p-please… I needed a place to stay!" Karina said in fear. The werehog grabs her. "I'll give you a place to stay!" the werehog growled. "Master, she was lost in the woods and-" "Shut up Moka!" the werehog yelled walking away with Karina.
