Sonicphobia

Chapter Eighteen: The Werehog Pack Protects STH Academy!?

I don't think that Kayla liked being called a bad dog. I could hear her howl, then she growled through the door, "Whoever this is, you have someone we want, we have something you want, so let's make a deal, shall we? Favors for favors? How about you give me the succulent, tasty hedgehog that's hiding in your room? If you say yes, I will leave you alone, darling." I shuddered at the thought of what Kayla wanted. So I ducked into Airalain's bed and gestured for her to get in. I could hear Kayla howling angrily, then I hear something pounding on the door.

"Stay in bed, Airalain." I whisper-commanded, praying that she was listening. "I've got this." I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote, Pardon me, but I prefer to be left alone. I have autism and I don't like change that much, so if you please be a darling and leave my roommate be until I settle in (a month or two will suffice), it would be appreciated. However, I am willing to talk to you. I signed it, then I slipped the paper underneath the crack in the door. I could hear Kayla grumbling to herself, reading the note.

Then the note was hastily shoved back, and I read the response. It read, Sorry, but that is a tender little werehog princess you are holding back. I'm coming in. I knew that Kayla was not going to listen to me, but I tried again when she threw the door open. "Airalain~. You know your duty well~." I heard Kayla's teasing growl, then I turned to have a look at the werehog in my room.

She was honestly quite beautiful, as far as werehogs go. Her fur was thick and lush, her uniform was tattered, and she had on a spiky belt on her waist. Her shoes were now cleats, with spikes where the white stripe should be. Her nails were long and painted a beautiful shade of glow in the dark pink. Her green eyes had a feminine glare, her sharp teeth almost pure white. Her hands, although gigantic, were also covered in doodles that were a bit smudged. Her spines were longer, and the fur on her spines was kind of curly. I gaped, since there was no way that this beautiful werehog was the pretty Sonic clone who was stuffing my face just a few minutes ago.

"Kayla... please leave." I begged as she began to rummage about. I tried tugging on her torn up uniform gently, but she seemed deaf to my plea. "I am asking not to be disturbed."

Kayla froze, then she turned to me and hoisted me at eye level. I knew that a werehog could be terrifying, so I grit my teeth and I stared into her poison green eyes. "I mean no harm, Princess Alison. It's something that has to be done due to the fact that we have to protect the Academy from the likes of Eggman." She rumbled softly, her eyes softening, "It's just that Airalain has a duty to her pack, and you're preventing it. Try to understand that part of being a werehog is to protect."

I shivered as she hugged me close to her large body. I could feel how powerful she is, and I was lucky that I wasn't crushed even by accident. Why does Sonic need Airalain as a were-!? My thoughts were interrupted as Kayla clambered onto Airalain's bed and pulled her out. Airalain appeared to be quite horrified as the werehog dangled her by the scruff of her neck. "Ali! Help!" She cried out, no longer sounding calm. "She plans on bringing me to-!" Kayla cut her off with a loud howl.

I could hear something creeping in the hall. I turned on my heel and scrambled backwards at the sight of what appeared to be a particularly large werehog. I noted that this werehog was male, and his voice was familiar as he growled, "Finally, after all of this time, I got you, Airalain." I noted that he had a growl to his voice as he purred, "Alison, I didn't expect you to actually take the full moon detention."

It clicked in my head who this werehog is. It felt glaringly obvious since this werehog had no clothing aside from a pair of cleated red sneakers and the fact that his voice sounded familiar. I squinted to see that this werehog had emerald green eyes, and there was something about his attitude that was kind of cocky. I knew exactly who it was. It was Sonic, and something told me that I better take the punishment he delivered to me earlier for disobeying him. "Hi, Sonic." I whispered meekly.
