Chapter 20

Nightmares

Darkness. That's what surrounded Sonic as he floated in midair above an abyss of black. Sonic looked around the area he was in. It was completely black. No light anywhere. Except a light; faint, but visible, was emanating from Sonics' heart. He looked at his hands as they showed his peach coloured arms and white-gloved hands in the small light. Sonics' emerald eyes widened at this in surprise.

"I can see my arms, but not where I am," Sonic said, quietly.

"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!" Sonic heard deep laughter behind him as he turned around.

Sonic looked in all the directions he thought were directions, but only saw darkness in the black. Sonic scratched his head in confusion at the darkness.

"I thought I heard…" Sonic cut himself off when he saw something gleaming in the darkness.

Sonic tried floating over where the gleaming thing was, but to no avail. The gleaming thing came closer to Sonic, until he saw that they were eyes. Emerald eyes with black slits instead of pupils were staring at Sonic in anger. Sonic gulped as he heard a growl that belonged to the pair of eyes.

"Who are you?" Sonic asked, forcing his fear down into a pit in his stomach that was meant for food.

The pair of emerald eyes flashed a blood red at Sonic and a white gleam soon appeared a little below the eyes. Sonic stared at the white gleam, until he realised they were teeth. Sonic backed away a bit and stared opened eyed at the teeth that had sharp points of the smaller ones while the bigger ones were fang-like.

The kind of teeth a creature born from darkness and night could only produce. A beast. A monster. A creature born to cause disaster and ruin lives. The fangs were long, sharp and tipped with blood. Sonics' face went pale when he saw the dried blood the things' fangs had. The thing opened its mouth to speak to Sonic as it let another growl be released.

"What you turn into every full moon," the thing said.

Sonic gasped at what it just said to him as a thought hit him.

If he's me in my werewolf form and he's got blood on his fangs that might mean I… Sonic thought, but didn't get to finish his thought as the scenery changed to Echidnaopolis.

"Hey!" Sonic cried. "What's going on?"

Nothing answered Sonic, so he just looked around the scenery and was shocked to see homes in ruins in the dead of night. Female echidnas and their children were pointing shakily at a five-foot tall shadow behind Sonic, while males were shouting and throwing rocks at what the shadow belonged to.

Sonic heard a howl from behind him and he spun around looking at a huge pile of dead echidna bodies littering the middle of the city. On top of the pile was what scared Sonic most of all. On top of the pile was Sonic. In his werewolf form, baring his blood stained fangs at echidnas while still holding a half-eaten echidna carcass.

Blood was stained all over Sonics' fur and his clawed hands as he took a bite out of the carcasses neck and ate it. Sonic felt something come up into his mouth. He realised that it must've been last nights' dinner coming back up, as he felt sick after seeing what was becoming of him. Sonic fell onto his knees and looked at his hands with shaky eyes.

His gloves had some how disappeared, showing his peach hands covered from fingernail to elbow in blood. The same places were covered in blood as the werehogs', which made Sonic, feel worse. Sonics' emerald eyes became covered in fear at what was in front of him and inside of him.

"This can't be real!" Sonic cried in a choked voice. "This has got to be a nightmare!"

"You are denying that you are a murderer" the werehogs' voice appeared once more as Echidnaopolis vanished and everything went back to black.

"No!" Sonic yelled. "I'm not a murderer!"

"Yes, you are" the werehog smirked.

"I would never even hurt a fly!" Sonic shouted.

"You're a weak, pathetic, hedgehog" the werehog insulted. "I don't know why I was brought to you anyway."

Sonics' ears pricked up at those words, but he growled anyway at the werehogs' voice, but the werehog could tell Sonic was feeling guilty.

"I was in control, not you, so why do you feel guilty?" the werehog asked.

"Because now I know why so many dark beings want me," Sonic said.

The voice of Sonics' werewolf form started laughing as Sonic looked at its blood eyes.

"You have no idea what is to become of you, do you?" the werehog laughed.

"No, I don't" Sonic said.

The werewolf form of Sonic cracked a smile at Sonic.

"But, I know I have to find out" Sonic said.

"How about you have a little sleep time in darkness to help you get ready" the werehog hissed at Sonic as it snapped its fingers in the darkness.

Whatever was making Sonic float began to falter, until he was just about to fall. Sonic looked down and saw the darkness below and sighed.

"Why does this always happen to me?" he asked as he fell.

The werehog laughed as Sonic fell down, down, down into the dark abyss of blackness below him. Sonic didn't know if there was even a bottom, but he thought that it would be better to keep falling than to land face flat on the ground, Dead.

WOOT! DONE! YAY! FINALLY! WOOT! Okay, Sonics' having a nightmare and he sees what he did last night. And it looks like his wolf side knows why he was bitten. I wonder why? Wait, I should know because I'm the author! Ha Ha! Enjoy, R&R And SXS OUT!
