Night 3
"Tails, are you sure this is safe?" asked Cream, slowly approaching the Forest of the Beast with Rouge, Tails and Knuckles.
"Well, not as safe as we would be if we were with Sonic and Blaze, but still safe, Cream." Tails replied, holding a video camera while holding Cream's hand.
"I wonder what came up, after all, a while ago Sonic would have immediately accepted the offer to explore." Knuckles thought aloud. Rouge smiled at this, letting out a laugh.
"I have a guess. I think that the two of them were going on a D-A-T-E." Knuckles looked back at Rouge, who was starting to fall behind the group.
"You still coming, Rouge?" he asked, pausing momentarily.
"Yeah, yeah…" Rouge ran a bit to catch up, then the group proceeded into the Forest of the Beast. Tails couldn't help but gulp, since he was just as scared as Cream at the moment. Two nights ago, three teens had entered the Forest of the Beast and came out with burns. Now, Tails found this suspicious, so he got everyone he could together so they could investigate. Amy and Shadow were both busy, as usual, Sally and Silver were both not home when he called, and finally Sonic and Blaze were doing whatever they were doing. So, with his small team of four people Tails began recording.
Meanwhile, Sonic and Blaze were both just prowling the forest, unaware to their friends just entering the forest. Now that they knew who the other was, they were getting along a lot better. They were still fighting, but now it was just for fun, and not because of pure rage. Although, for a moment, Sonic thought that he heard something snap and someone using various swears to express themselves. But he assumed that it was just his imagination.
"WHERE THE HELL DID THAT ROCK COME FROM?!" yelled Knuckles, who was currently hobbling along with one arm wrapped around Rouge to support himself.
"Knux, do me a favor and stop being an idiot." gasped out Rouge, who was struggling to hold up Knuckles.
"Both of you, be quiet! We don't want the Beast to hear us!" said Tails, raising his voice. Cream heard a bat and squealed, burying her face into Tails' arm. Soon, the group could hear voices from a nearby clearing. Curious, the four all bent down near a bush and silently watched the Beasts. "There are two of them?!" whispered Tails, shocked.
"Not to mention they kind of look familiar…" everyone looked at Cream in surprise. "What? Can't you guys see it?" Cream looked back at her friends, confused.
"No… Why do they look familiar to you?" asked Tails.
"I don't really know. It's the eyes, I guess." said Cream, a rare scowl appearing on her face. Knuckles yelled out again, since Rouge had let him drop to the ground on his bad leg.
Sonic and Blaze were immediately alert at the sound of another yell, closer this time. The two growled angrily. "You don't think those three idiots came back, do you?" asked Blaze, who was ready to launch a fireball at any moment.
"I doubt it. It's probably some person who wants to be a hero by killing the Beast, or something. No matter what, we should probably go check it out." Replied Sonic, walking up to the bush that Tails, Cream, Rouge and Knuckles were all hiding behind…
Meanwhile, behind the bush, Tails was trying to murder Knuckles…Just kidding. But he was trying to keep him quiet. "Shut up, Knux! Do you want to be brutally murdered?!" whispered/yelled Tails. All of them stayed quiet as Beast 1 came closer to their hiding place…And stopped right in front of the bush. The group held their breath as Beast 1 looked around a bit, then turned to face Beast 2.
"There's nothing here." they heard him say. Cream had to cover her mouth for reasons unknown to Tails. They all watched Beast 1 walk back over to Beast 2, then both of them left the area. The entire group let out a breath they had been holding and collapsed out from the bush.
"Way too close…" muttered Tails.
"Tails? Can I go home with Miss Rouge now?" asked Cream, still looking a little shocked.
"Sure. You wanna take Cream home, Rouge?" asked Tails. Rouge simply shrugged.
"Why not? I was just about to head home myself. Just make sure that Knux doesn't hurt himself any more than he already has." said Rouge, taking Cream's hand and leading her in the opposite direction the two beasts went. Tails and Knuckles (Who was using a branch as a makeshift crutch) proceeded to follow the beasts, trying to stay hidden the best they could. Soon, they found a good hiding spot and continued to watch the beasts.
Hours later, the two were on the brink of insanity. They weren't really doing anything other than sleeping. Tails looked like he hadn't slept in weeks, while Knuckles was struggling against the urge to drown himself in the lake. Both of them were relived when dawn began, Tails shutting off the camera and Knuckles about to get up when they made the mistake of looking at the beasts.
Yeah, they didn't see the beasts at all. They saw Sonic and Blaze.
Trying to resist the urge to scream, the two got up slowly and walked out from the forest. After they were a good distance away, the two let out a scream. After they were done screaming, they both talked at the same time.
"Why didn't they tell us?!"
"How long have they been like that?!"
"Is that the reason they didn't want to come along?!"
"If they figure out we know, we're screwed!"
Tails sighed and motioned for Knuckles to stop talking.
"Okay, let me talk for a minute here. Now, we both know that Sonic's been super sleepy most of the time, so that must be because of him going to that forest. Blaze comes along and, turns out, she's just like him. I think it's best if we don't say anything about this for the moment, it'll only cause even MORE trouble. And we don't really want that. Our best hope is to…I dunno, try and forget we saw this and never speak of it. Okay?" explained Tails. Knuckles was silent for a moment.
"…Okay. Let's just go sleep on it." replied Knuckles, already heading for his house. Tails immediately followed, but he knew something. They could never forget this. And Sonic or Blaze would figure out that they know eventually. He was going to have to tell them.
Sonic and Blaze woke up at the same time, in the exact same position they were in the night before. They both blushed and got up, without saying a word. Neither of them knew about the fact that two of their friends knew about the fact that they were a Werehog and a Werecat, so they smiled and ran off towards their houses.
Neither of them knew about the events that would happen in the impending future…
OH GOD WHY DID THAT TAKE SO LONG FOR ME TO WRITE?! Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to crawl back into the small hole I call my life and try to make the next chapter. R&R, readers. I'll try and make the wait shorter for Chapter 7.
