"You were cheating!" I heard my best friend whine and saw him crossing his arms over his big, fluffy chest. He was a werefox named Tails Fangclaw. Tails of course for his unique mutation, which gave him an extra tail. As if one amazingly fluffy tail wasn't enough! He just happened to be the lucky child and got a double treatment from the Mother Nature. However, Tails wasn't always this big, bulky werefox. He used to be of an average mobian size, just like me. But we once came across a dangerous looking hedgehog, whose crystalline form keeps haunting our minds ever since the moment we saw him for the first time in our lives. Mainly those toxic snake green eyes, which contrasted against his unusually red scleras. He is very creepy and this guy is actually responsible for Tails' permanent change of appearance. But well, big or small, Tails is still my best friend and nothing will ever change that!
"Nuh-uh, foxy boy, I was playing fair this time," I replied while lifting my hand and bent down all my fingers, except for my index finger, which I then moved from left to right and back multiple times in denial while slowly shaking my head.
"But I was hidden so well!" Tails still opposed me, which I just shrugged at.
"Then be aware of your fluffy tails next time~" I smirked at him and saw him blush in response right before he turned his back towards me.
"M-My turn!" he even stuttered a bit, how adorable!

He started counting from 20 to 0, so I rather quickly speeded off to find some good hiding spot, making sure to not rush too far from where we usually played together. Hide and seek was one of my favourite games and this dark forest was perfect for such game, because there were so many spots to hide in. It was thrilling, adventurous and entertaining. What was not that much entertaining, however, we kinda lived here on our own. My only family got hunted down by a group of rogue vampires and I was lucky with my special speed gift, as I was able to outrun them and save my own life. My adoptive mother, a big owl named Longclaw, wanted me to escape, when I was trying to save her. I was just around 4 years old at that time, so I wasn't strong enough to fight those monsters and hence had no other choice but run far, far away, letting my mother sacrifice herself for me. I was sad and depressed for a long time and just a few months after this incident I came across three werejackals picking up on Tails for his unusual body feature. Feeling infuriated, I bravely stood up to them and tried to fight against them, so they would leave the poor werefox alone. I don't know how, but I somehow managed to kill one of them and seriously injure the second one, whilst the third one rather cowardly ran away, leaving his buddy there to his own fate. I was so enraged, that I was about to strike the final blow in order to kill him as well, but Tails stopped me and told me, that the werejackal is not worth it. Until today I remember the scar I formed across his left eye, which was amber, whilst his other eye had a blue colour. I have never before seen anyone with mismatched eyes, but I must admit, it looks pretty cool. Only if the person possessing such special feature is just as cool....

Anyways, I finally found a good hiding spot behind a huge rock on the very outskirt of the forest, where there was a wide meadow in front of me. I looked up at the dark sky decorated by millions of stars, their various sizes and luminosities complimented the full moon shining so brightly across the whole wide area surrounding me, kissing the surface with its silver, cold light. I loved the full moon nights, but also felt a bit scared due to the wereforms usually being the strongest at such phase. Werejackals were the worst, they were usually very sly and unpredictable and similar to rogue vampires, they just did and took whatever they wanted with no restrains. That made them the most dangerous wereforms out there. Werefoxes or werecats were usually more civilized, Tails being a perfect example. But he became my best friend maybe only thanks to my brave action back then, else, we would rather try to avoid each other, because hybrids, such as me, and wereforms like Tails usually respect each other's boundaries and territory and don't dare to disturb the other party. Werehogs and other hybrids were the best of the wereforms, for me especially, because of my similarity to werehogs. And hybrids, I think I do not need to go into any details, it speeks for itself. Of course, it also depends on the creature's personality and qualities, but overall, they're usually cool with other hybrids, me included.
