Chapter 13: Day 12: Sonic's Secret Revealed.
Aleena was sitting in the castle living room reading her favorite book, when Sonic came in and shook her arm to get her attention, "What's wrong, Sonic? Something's troubling you, I can tell." she said with concern in her voice.
Sonic sighed, "Mom, do you remember when I told you about my adventures with the whole Light Gaia and Dark Gaia thing?" he asked.
Aleena nodded, "Well, there's one thing I didn't tell you about." Sonic said with seriousness in his tone.
"What?" Aleena asked.
"Come outside and I'll show you." said Sonic. Aleena followed her son outside into the castle garden.
"Now watch this, Mom." said Sonic as he surrounded himself with a dark purple aura. When the aura cleared, Sonic was different. He was bigger and muscular looking. His fur had turned a bluish-gray color, the tan part of his chest was gray, his fingers were sharp claws, the tips of his quills were also gray, his teeth turned into sharp fangs, and his shoes had sharp spikes on the bottom. He was Sonic the Werehog. He turned and looked at Aleena. Her eyes were wide in surprise.
"Um, Sonic? That is you, right?" asked the shocked purple hedgehog.
Sonic sighed a sad sigh, "Yeah, unfortunately before the whole thing even started, Eggman captured me as Super Sonic in some kind of weird electrical ray," said Sonic in his gruff Werehog voice, "It took the Chaos Emeralds and as soon as I turned back to normal, I became the Werehog. I was worried my friends would be afraid of me, but Tails recognized me and he wasn't, neither was Amy, although she didn't recognize me at first."
Aleena was surprised at hearing Sonic's story, "Well, why didn't you tell me sooner, honey?" she asked.
By now, Sonic had tears in his eyes, "I was worried that you'd be scared of me and that you wouldn't want me around anymore." he said with sadness. Sonic then felt his mother's arms wrap around his waist.
He looked down at Aleena and she looked back at him, "Sonic, I don't care if you're a Werehog, an evil .exe hedgehog, or a hedgehog with a dark form. You'll always be my son, the great Sonic the Hedgehog. Don't think I wouldn't want you around because of this. I could never be scared of you." said the purple hedgehog with nothing but care and love in every single word. Sonic's tears turned from tears of sadness to tears of happiness.
He wrapped his huge arms around Aleena and hugged her back, "Thank you, Mom. You're the best mother a Werehog could ever ask for. I love you so much." said Sonic.
Aleena smiled, "I love you too, Sonic." she said before Sonic suddenly picked her up and spun her around, making her laugh.
"Wow, Sonic. You surprised me there!" Aleena said before Sonic suddenly threw her up in the air.
"WOOOOOHAHA!" Aleena laughed as Sonic caught her and repeatedly tossed her in the air, laughing himself. After tossing her up for a while, Sonic caught his mom in his arms before giving her a kiss on the nose.
Aleena giggled before she hugged him around the neck, "I love you, Sonic, my big strong Werehog." she said.
Sonic smiled and nuzzled her cheek, "I love you too, Mom." he said.
