Chapter 1: Why do Awful Things Always Happen When I Look my Best?

Hello, this is my first Fanfiction but I've rewritten it. I combined the original chapters 1 and 2 to create a longer chapter 1 that doesn't have the cliché cliffhanger. Please let me know about any errors I may have missed.

-Why do Awful Things Always Happen When I Look my Best?-

**Shadow's POV**

"No! Poison!" I yelled as my love got pulled into a portal by a black demonic hand, "Shadow!"

Then she was gone, and I was all alone.

"I will save you from the Demon King if it is the last thing I do!" I vowed, 'I will save you from death Poison, and I will not fail you like I failed Maria.'

And so I ran.

**Haylee's POV**

A few months earlier...

As I look back in hindsight, I'll admit I was spoiled.

I had the "right" friends, clothes, car, well, you name it and my mommy had probably already gotten it for me. After all, I was her princess and, as such, always had the latest, greatest, and the best.

I woke up to the alarm going off. (BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-*smack*). As I lazily hit the off button, I muttered to myself, "Well, time to get up." Glancing at the time, I did a double-take. "FUCK, I'm going to be late!"

Today was the day.

My friends and I had scheduled the works to prep for our upcoming Senior Prom: shopping for the perfect dresses, Italian leather shoes (what, you would skimp on the shoes?!), nail polish, all the things a beautiful girl deserves.

But, what I didn't know is that I'd never even make it to the mall.

Quickly, I did a haphazard job of making my bed, laid out some clothes, and hopped in the shower.

After my shower, I carefully dressed and then looked in the mirror for one last peek.

I was wearing a black, long-sleeved shirt, dark wash skinny jeans, black leather peep-toe ankle boots with wedge heels, and the usual, fashionably expensive accessories. Topping it all off with a bang, I added my sexiest red leather jacket.

Finally satisfied with my gorgeous appearance, I thought to myself, 'Good thing I'm worth the wait!'

Texting my BFFs, I rushed past my mom having breakfast at the table (she was simultaneously writing what was to become the next "must-have" Android application, true to her geeky self).

With what appeared to be residual toast crumbs hanging out of her mouth she called after me, "Haylee, sweetie, don't forget your purse!" Turning around (while still working on my texts, of course) I made my way back over to the counter and grabbed my black purse and the keys to my car.

Finally out the door, I hopped in my silver convertible and sped off to the mall to meet up with my probably already waiting friends Daniella, Sophia, and Jessica. Good thing we'd all been BFFs since practically toddler-hood.

I was the leader of the group; you know, the one they all looked to who called the shots and proclaimed the latest fashions.

We were the girls you probably hate: the ones your boyfriends fell over themselves looking at and who wouldn't even speak to you unless we needed homework help.

Blasting my favourite Avenged Sevenfold songs (revenge bitches, I can blast my music too), I hit the streets. I floored the gas after a brief glance in my rear-view mirror. To my irritation, I noticed my CD was skipping. Grumpily I wailed, "God, this is just not my day!" Reaching over to the passenger seat (I know, I know, bad driver, that's me), I snagged my in-car CD collection.

Throwing it on my lap, I paused to sneak a peak in my mirrors (see, I was trying...)

"Oh shit!"

Those were my last words, so definitely famous in my book.

How the hell that semi crept up on me I'll never know. I mean, it was just a brief glance over at the passenger seat. Seriously, who drives like that?

Totally the semi's fault.

**Haylee's POV**

Drowsily rubbing my eyes, I glanced at my surroundings.

First thought: 'No way...I can't be in a forest.'

Rubbing my eyes frantically, I was able to clearly survey the landscape: lush green-leafed trees all around me and nearby was a pond with a waterfall.

Utterly dismayed, I forced myself awake, stood up and thought 'Am I in heaven? Not that that's likely considering me but still… Am I?'

Clearly, something was amiss. I pinched myself.

Since it hurt like, well, like normal, I remarked, "I guess not, but if I am not in heaven where am I?"

Hot from the humidity (and passingly afraid I might have to arrange that party for hell), I walked over to the pond to splash some water on my face.

One look at my reflection and a scream escaped me. There staring back at me wasn't my usual self but a black humanoid hedgehog!

Her mid-back black hair was streaked with purple highlights styled with a side-bang covering one of her humanoid acidic neon yellow/green eyes. On the top of her head were triangularly shaped ears each adorned with two skull shaped stud earrings. Her peach-tinted muzzle had plump natural dark lavender colored lips in a surprised 'O' shape. She was wearing a black and dark purple pinstripe vest over a black button down blouse with ruffled sleeves. She had on black skinny jeans that were simple and in cotton. On her feet she wore ankle boots which had two skull charms dangling from one of the straps on the boots. On her hands were black fingerless gloves that went to her wrists.

After noting all that I realized that the reflection in the water was me and I thought aloud "Well, I thought earlier on in life if I looked different I could start fresh and change my bad ways, now is the chance, but if I do that I'll need a different name...I know, I'll use the name Poison, and I'll come up with a last name later."

Having that decided. I had the sudden instinct to snap my fingers, so I did. And then a hammer appeared...'WAIT A SECOND, A HAMMER?! Yep, that's definitely a hammer.'

Not only a hammer, but a really huge black one with lavender accents and a dark grey skull on its equally enormous side.

Well, I started smashing stuff like rocks and plants with it, just to test it out (wouldn't you too if you got a huge ass hammer?) but then I accidentally smashed a black and red hedgehog in the head with it.

Well, he got mad and we had a fight I can't really detail this part because I was too into the battle to notice at the moment, but what I did notice was he had some really bad anger management problems and he was really fast!

**Poison's POV**

After the violent encounter with that hedgehog I sat down by the river to think, 'If he was an anthropomorphic hedgehog like me and he was that fast...Am I fast too?' Pondering on that I decided to try running and see how fast I could go.

I started running and found out when I had finished that I could go just a bit faster than my human self and then my shoes would glow and I would start hovering, helping me to go much faster. I decided to call my shoes hover-boots

Well, after that run in the clearing I landed in, I decided to run through the forest to see if I could find a town or something near-by.

Stretching my legs, I started running at a low speed (to warm myself up) then I went faster and faster until my hover-boots kicked in. Then, while I was running in my top speed I hit something which made me go faster than I have ever had before which I later found out was called a dash pad.

Shortly after that, I ran a double loop-de-loop and a cork screw in a row (with more of those dash pads to help me out of course) while only having a small stretch of flat terrain between the two.

The rest of my run was pretty much uneventful other than running into a couple robots I ended up smashing with my hammer for target practice.

At the end of my level (to call my run that just seemed natural) I bumped in to a female hedgehog who looks almost exactly like me.

She has the same shape of eyes as mine, but they are sky blue eyes flecked with silver, her shoulder length hair is pastel blue with lavender highlights. She was wearing a black and grey pinstriped tank top with black lace, then she had some black skinny jeans in denim, and on her feet she was wearing black leather pumps with grey lace on them, to say the least I was stunned (and still frustrated from the battle earlier today) turning to completely face her I came up with something to say very quickly.

"Watch where you're going, girl, you don't want to break a nail." I snapped glaring.

She looked out of the corner of her eye at me "It is you who should watch where you are going." She snapped back, turning glare at me "Oh, and I don't mind if I break a nail. For all I care, they can all fall off."

I stopped glaring and looked apologetically at her thinking of an explanation.

"Sorry I snapped at you I had a really bad run in with some jerk earlier, and I'm not in the best mood." I apologized softly.

She looked surprised and stopped glaring after my apology "It's okay no real harm done." She answered me now smiling.

"I really like your attitude, can we be friends?" I asked.

She looked happy I asked, "Sure." and that was the start of a new friendship.
