Chapter 2 - Lies from the Monsters Mouth
Sonic had been in the hospital for two weeks and in those two weeks Amy had visited him everyday. He didn't mind, of course, but he knew that he would eventually have to his quick healing and the fact he was a werehog he knew that he would eventually have to go back to his pack.
He cringes just thinking about them. Yes, sonic may be the fastest werehog alive but he isn't the strongest werehog alive. Again and again he was bullied by his pack and it worsened when his parents disappeared years ago. Now thinking about it more he was on the verge of going rouge right then and there but where would he go after?
His pack may have treated him like shit but at least he had a bed to go home to after all the crap he had to go through. Looking out the hospital room his face went into complete angst, almost missing the sound of the door opening.
"Sonic, are you alright?"
Sonic only turned his head slightly and saw that it was Amy. mustering up the fakest smile he could make.
"Of course babe why wouldn't I?"
Amy then smirked and raised one of her eyebrow "Well the fact a few minutes ago you looked like you wanted to jump out of that window, you can't really question why I asked"
Sonic did a small laugh and smirked himself. He then turned around and started speaking.
"Listen, kid, I always look like that when I'm thinking" His smirk then widened "And you have no room to talk when your thinking face looks like you smelled the most disgusting thing you could ever find!"
"Hey!" The pink hedgehog voiced went into a squeaking mess as she processed his insult.
Sonic did a genuine laugh that nearly broke him into tears. Wiping them away he then looks at her.
"What are you doing here anyway?"
"Phft I come here everyday why wouldn't I be here"
"Got me there but you never come visit me even close to twelve P.M"
She then takes a pause and blushes "...You notice what time of day I come to see you?"
He nearly turns completely red as he notices that fact himself. "W-well yeah, Why wouldn't I !? It's not like its hard to notice"
Amy turns even more red "I-I know but it's not like I do it intentionally I kinda come visit you whenever I feel like it!"
Sonic smirks once again but only out of embarrassment "I think you're just being dramatic, why did you come over this early anyway?"
Amy ignores the first statement and answers his question "Well, since you are leaving the hospital today I thought you would want to have lunch with me and my roommate… if you like"
Sonic pauses and thinks about her question. He almost forgot he was supposed to leave today. His stomach nearly turns into a pit just remembering. Continuing to stay in thought his stomach answers for him with a growl.
Amy bursts into laughter while he turns into a blushing mess. Well, at least his last day being treated well will be a good day.
Sonic never imagined Amy to live in such a small house. Of course he expected it to be small but not as small as it really turned out to be. It might just be him because he nearly is as big as her house but it still seemed small for even her body.
Sitting at the little kitchen table was quite awkward for him as not only was the chair nearly a stool to him but her roommate Fiona was looking at him like he was the full course meal.
"So" Fiona fluttered her eyes "Do you leave around here?"
Sonic gulped "No"
Fiona's eyes shined with excitement rather than disappointment and squealed.
"Oh, so you're a foreigner?!" She then gets really close to sonic's face and he grunts in shock when she does so. "I've always wanted to travel! I always wanted to go to 'La Ville Du Paon' (Note: The Paris of Mobius) and get real, full bloom, Lilies!"
"Lilies?" Sonic questioned. That was weird to hear from someone. When people think of 'La Ville Du Paon' they don't think of Lilies but Roses.
"Yes Lilies!" She happily hums "I can imagine that the sun shines better there than here in this gloomy ass village"
Sonic felt slight pity for her as she knows why she hasn't left. In the few weeks he has been here and staring out that hospital window he noticed how this Village was not just a Village but Unity, a family that can't live without each other. If Fiona left then she would feel like she's abandoning them and what happens if they die? How would she feel then?
The more he thought of the reason the more he fell disgusted because the only reasons she truly couldn't leave. Besides the fact she would be abandoning them, is that his people act as if they are monsters, and as monsters do, they kill, with no remorse and nor regret. First national, killing machines.
"Have you ever wanted to go someplace like that?"
"... What?"
"Have you ever wanted to travel somewhere far and get away from the shitty life you have?"
Oh boy if she only knew. This boy would travel to the moon if he could to get away from his pack.
"No, I love where I live right now and my uncle chuck makes me never want to leave"
Why did he say that? Well, Part of it is true, the only reason he stays with the pack is because of his uncle who provides a roof over his head, but besides that he would gladly jump countries like a Pogo stick.
So, if that's the case, why did he say that? Well, maybe lying made him feel good and if he continues till he leaves, maybe he could return every once and a while without suspicious and more questions. Just simply hang out and do normal mortal things.
Both distracted by his answer they both jump when Amy slammed a pan on the kitchen table.
"Lasagna's done~"
It actually smelled rather good to them both. He would have never thought that Amy's cooking would smell so good. Fresh and hot. Now, he has tasted her cooking before but usually it's leftovers from dinner she made the night before and many know that leftovers don't taste the same.
Now that everyone had a slice of Lasagna everyone started to eat, well for the sonics case 'scarfed', and a new conversation started and it was only between sonic and Amy.
"Sonic, I never got to ask. What do you do?" Amy asked after swallowing some Lasagna
"What do you mean, like a job?"
"Yeah that"
"Oh easy, I'm a merchant"
Well, he kinda is. He usually steals from scared travelers and then sells their stuff in ectrange for good. Sounds heartless but as an Omega he needed to do something to leave. Besides they don't need to know that.
"Oh…" She sounded rather disappointed. Kinda ruined Sonic's vibe with that.
"Is something wrong?"
"I kinda expected something cooler since you look so-"
"Douchie?"
"No,No?" She started to blush as that's probably 100% what she thought "You just look like you would be a construction worker or something like that, you know?"
Sonic started laughing at her embarrassment "Calm Down, Ames, I was just kidding with you" He wiped his face with his napkin roughly " I actually get that a lot"
"Then, why are you not those things?"
"Because it's not something I'm really into. Measuring and stuff. Nothing something I really was into growing up" If he ever learned those things anyway.
Amy paused but accepted his answer "Ha, well that makes since"
"So what are you guys?" He asked.
He kinda already knew what they were but he still asked to be 100% sure.
"We are hunters" Fiona quickly answered, startling Amy.
"Oh?" Sonic still was upset with the answer "what section are you in?"
"Oh, you know how the section works?"
Yikes, he thought everyone knew. That's how werehogs get through their plans anyway.
"Yeah… my dad was a hunter"
"Oh what section is he from?" Fiona asked "We are from section C"
"Wow, that's actually pretty low ranked section"
"Hey we didn't ask for your input!" Fiona blushed with anger "Answer the Question!"
"He's from…" He really had to think on that " Section B' "
"Oh wow!" Fiona's eyes shined once again "He must be awesome!"
"He really was…" Sonic was silent.
"Was?"
He didn't answer the question and had no implications of doing so. Because of that, the dinner table fell silent until they heard a gruesome mortal howl nearby.
'No way!" Amy's boom voice shivered as she spoke "they can't be that close!"
Amy and Fiona then quickly rain out the kitchen with sonic following behind.
The burst out the door and at that very moment everything fell apart.
The screaming of the people started and everyone started to run all over the place running from the large beast that was pouncing on people's homes and workplaces.
But this beast was not familiar to sonic as it didn't have a green fur pallet like the one he fought in the woods weeks before.
Matter of fact it isn't a beast at all as he looked nothing more like a mortal with longer fangs and blood piercing eyes. He nearly looked identical to sonic despite he had black and red quills and had a more dominant stature.
Realizing these feature sonic panic as he realized what he was. This was a vampire and this vampire wasn't looking for blood but for something as no vampire walks among mortals without needing something.
The Vampire turning his head, his eyes met with sonic and once he did he leaped towards sonic with his fangs fully out.
Sonic was now in a tight space and he had two options. Fight like a beast and let everyone know or fight like a mortal and have a possible death wish. The choice was thin and honestly, neither was a good choice.
Authors Note:
Sorry that It took me so damn long to write this and that it's so boring. I just couldn't think of anything to write for a while and honestly this chapter is a filler for the Rising action of the next chapter. Ill try and get it out as soon as possible.
