Chapter 9

Fight For A Wolf

Sonic ran through the forest of trees on all fours. He realised it was faster than running on two feet in this form. Sonic, soon reached a lake in the middle of the forest of trees. His mind was on what Naugus had told him. Sonic bent over towards the water and looked at his reflection.

Is it true what Naugus said, Sonic thought?

Sonic lifted one of his hands and looked at his claws.

Will I lose myself to the other side of me, quicker than I thought, Sonic thought.

Sonic put his hand back down on the ground. Sonic closed his eyes and bent his head down to the water surface and started lapping up the clear water.

I'm so thirsty, Sonic thought.

He took a long drink of the water, as he listened to the wind. The clearest parts of the water he drank added clearer thoughts to Sonic. Sonics' ears twitched, when he heard a noise. Sonics' ears pricked up and pointed behind him, where the noise was coming from. Sonic lifted his head up and looked in that direction. Water dribbled down the side of his mouth, as he had a little bit of water left in his mouth.

Someone's in trouble! Looks like I'm gonna cut this drink short, Sonic thought.

Sonic swallowed the leftover water in his mouth and jumped onto his feet and stretched out his arm and grabbed a tree branch. Sonic smiled a toothy grin as he lunged at the branch.

I'm glad super strength replaces my super speed at night, because it seems I always need it, Sonic thought.

Sonic swung on the tree branch and stretched his other arm out and grabbed another branch. Sonic stretched his arm out to grab another branch. He did the same thing again. And again. And again. Until he reached a small clearing. Sonic swung his arms around and he landed on the tree branch he was hanging onto. Sonics' emerald eyes widened, when he saw where he was. He was in one of the trees surrounding the clearing he was attacked in. His anger started to boil as those memories of that night came back to him. Sonic clenched his fists together, getting ready to pound anything that came his way. He didn't even care that his claws were digging into his palms and drawing out some blood. But what he saw run out into the clearing shocked him. It was a small purple wolf. Sonic recognised her as Maria, one of Lupes' kids. Sonics' eyes widened even more than they already were.

How'd she get all the way over here, Sonic thought.

Behind her was another wolf kid. An orange one this time. He was Marias' brother: Marcos. A sweat drop formed at the side of Sonics' head as he lowered his eyelids.
Okay, now how'd they get here, Sonic thought?

They both ran into the middle of the clearing and started panting. Sonic kept watching them, as if he knew they were running away from something not from someone. The two wolf kids looked in the direction they came from and started backing away. Sonics' ears twitched, when he heard low growling rising from the bushes. The thing that was growling jumped out into the clearing and snarled at the two wolves.

Another monster, Sonic thought. How could I not have guessed?

The monster got onto all fours and started running at the two wolves. Sonic started growling at the monster.

Not on my watch you won't, Sonic thought.

Sonic jumped off of the tree branch and landed safely on the ground. He ran on all fours over to Maria and Marcos. The monster jumped into the air about to attack Maria and Marcos. Sonic ran as fast as he could towards the two wolves. The monster had its' jaws open wide and got its claws in front of itself. Getting ready to tear the wolves apart. The monster was falling through the air fast, but Sonic was faster. He reached Maria and Marcos and pushed them out of the way. Maria and Marcos closed their eyes, so they wouldn't see if the monster got to them or not. Sonic jumped onto his feet and grabbed Maria and Marcos under his arms. The monster landed on the ground, its back towards Sonic. It growled in frustration as it turned its attention to Sonic. Sonic looked back at the monster and frowned. Sonic ran over to the bush and put Maria and Marcos down. Sonic turned his head to face the monster once more, then turned back to face Maria and Marcos.

"You two stay here where it's safe" Sonic told them.

The two wolves opened their eyes and looked up at their saviour. They gasped when they saw who had saved them. Sonic turned and ran back out into the clearing on all fours. Sonic stopped and stood up on his feet once he was back on the field. Sonic finally saw how small the monster was compared to him. Sonic was around 4 foot to 5 foot, while the monster stood at around 2 foot. Sonic chuckled a little at seeing the size comparison. His expression soon changed to serious.

"Yo! Ugly purple monster, are you just gonna stare or are you gonna fight me!" Sonic exclaimed.

The monster roared at Sonic and charged at him. Sonic folded his arms and collapsed onto his tail.

"Wow, you monsters, must have no brains" Sonic teased.

The monster ran faster towards Sonic, as Sonic unfolded his arms and put one of his hands up in front of his face. The monster ran right into Sonics' hand and tried clawing at Sonics' face. The monsters' claws were inches away from scraping against Sonics' muzzle. Sonic just smiled a toothy grin and started squeezing the monsters' head. The monster whimpered in pain as Sonics' grip tightened. Just before the monster disappeared into dark purple smoke, it bit Sonics' palm. Sonic roared in pain as he retracted his hand and whimpered. Sonic looked at his hand and saw two small fang marks in the middle of his palm. Sonic growled in annoyance at the monster.

"That little…" Sonic was cut off as he felt his eyelids feel heavy.

Sonic yawned and felt as if he hadn't had slept in days.

"I'm so tired" Sonic yawned. "A little nap won't hurt."

Sonic felt his whole body feel tired and weak as his eyelids closed. He fell onto his stomach as he lay out into a comfortable position. A long yawn escaped Sonics' mouth before he felt his mind slip away into sleep. But just before he was completely asleep he heard a few familiar voices.

"Dad, why'd you do that?" asked a girl voice.

"Yeah, he saved us," cried a boy voice.

"He looks hurt, lets take him home" a female voice said.

A male voice sighed, as Sonic felt his unconscious body being lifted up. As Sonic fell into the darkness of sleep, he felt safe. For now.
