sonadow: chapter 3

Sonic's POV

It had been just like any other normal day. sunny, warm and as busy as hell in the city. I had been hanging out with my friends like everyday. I was a normal carefree, outgoing hedgehog. Till night approached. Then this agonizing pain would overcome my whole body and i would feel my bones breaking and snapping out of place and back in place once the transformation was finished and my fur had gotten darker and eyes more menacing and darker aswell. Not to mention that my form went from a normal hedgehog to a big bulky beast. I panted after the transformation and curled up a little to recover a little.

Once i had recovered i got up on all fours and walked out of the alley i had went in before i had transformed. I looked up and saw the full moon. I howled to it and walked towards the woods not knowing that i had caught someone's attention.

Arriving upon the forest i was a bit comforted by the familiar enviremont. I smiled and walked through the natural enviremont. My bliss was soon going to be interupted when i heard someone running towards me with a tremendous speed with my sharp hearing. It could only be one thing. And i didn't feel affraid to face whoever this vampire was. I would be ready for it when it got here. And just like i predicted. A vampire hedgehog came jumping at me from above and i lashed at the hedgehog making him slam in the tree. He recovered from the hit immediatly and rushed towards me. I growled and lunged forward aswell. He jumped over me and before i could turn around he had jumped on my back. He wrapped an arm around my throat making me shoke. I could feel him nuzzle somewhat affectionate against my throath with his fangs scraping my thick fur. I waited for the right moment to get him of off me and that moment came as he got ready to bite me. That's when i jumped backwards and slammed him with my full weight against the ground. I could hear him yelp and let go of me. I got up and watched him curl up in pain a little. Seems like i did hurt him. "damnit!" He growled, obviously getting pissed at me, and got up and lunged forward at me. I knew that it took a while before a vampire's wounds were healed. So i planned on using that to my advantage. He had slowed a bit and lashed at him. He avoided by ducking and i lashed again knocking his feet from underneath him. I grabbed his throath tightly and held him on my eye level above the ground. He was growling and tried to lash at me, but to no avail. He growled in frustration as he couldn't get lose making me smirk. "seems like even the all mighty vampire can lose." I said smirking. "don't get cocky now." He growled. I smirked and decided to end this little fight. So i grabbed the side of his face and slammed him against the ground making go motionless. I smirked and walked away. I knocked him out good. If he's lucky enough he might awake before the sun raises.

The next morning i had went back to the same spot where i had left the vampire after i had turned back to my original form. To my surprise i didn't see the vampire anymore. Seems like he had woken up before the sun had risen. Or he had awoken by the sun. I shrugged and walked home to get something to eat. Being a werehog always made me so hungry. especially in the morning. Unlike other werewolfs i tried to not eat anything during my other form. But sometimes even i couldn't stop myself from killing an innocent. I would loath myself afterwards. I always loathed myself when i turned into that form. The only thing that i liked about it was the incredible strenght i got with it. Nothing more and nothing less. The reason that i was a werehog was because i got attacked when i was 17, which was 3 years ago, by one when my dog, mutski, had ran away and i had ran after her. I got ambushed by it and had escaped after a long, exhausting fight with long, deep scratches on my leg, on my side and on my back. I remember my first transformation being agonizingly painfull. All the transformations were, but the first one hurt much more. I was glad that i didn't have to go through my first time anymore. I was really glad about that.

Shadow's POV

I woke up feeling that burning pain over my whole body. I had figured that the sun had already gotten up. So i hurried and searched for cover. I saw a cave and ran into it. I sat down agaisnt the wall of the cave and looked around. I remembered this cave. This was the cave i had last seen my father in. Or his body that is. I sighed and looked down to the ground. They never told me what had become of him after they took me away from his body. Did the other villagers find him and bury him? was he just left there? did those vampires did something to him? Back then i had always asked myself these questions. But i never got an answer to them. Even though that was already 454 years ago. I had demanded answers but they always laughed at me. Laughed at me for still caring for him even though he had passed away. They obviously didn't understand and they weren't even trying to understand. My sadness was amusing to them. I was reliefed when i had gotten out of that hell hole that night. I had returned to the village i once lived in. Nobody recognized me. To them i was just a newcomer even though i was born and raised in that village. Not that it mattered. Otherwise annoying question would be asked.

I had to wait in this cave till night time before i could move again. During the embarrassing fight yesterday night i had lost my hat so i couldn't get out of the cave without slowly burning myself to death. I sighed and looked towards the entrance of the cave. I pulled my knees to my chest and wrapped my arms around them to sit a bit comfortable. I sighed again. This was gonna be a long day.
