(A random short story idea specifically for my dear SpectraTheWerehog. Enjoy!)
It was another clear full moon night in Spagonia once again and everyone was asleep. Well, all except for one citizen who was still awake. Her mind raced as it wondered off about someone.
"Where is Sonic?" She asked herself. "He should be back by now." No one amswered her.
All that was heard was the peaceful song of crickets chipring their songs together deep within the night.
She sighed and gotten out of bed and slipped on her plain blue slippers and robe. She grabbed a quick cup of hot chocolate and walked out. Little did she know, she was heading straight for the most darkest forest of Spagonia that was long forgotten about--Frog Forest.
Owls hooted in the distant night as semi-thick fog covered not only the ground but Sarah's path, too. Chills traveled up and down her spine and her quills quivered as thoughts of adrenaline raced in the back of her mind. It was either fight or flight and she chose to fight.
"Just an owl and the wind. Nothing bad really. Nothing at all." Sarah said to herself as she gently mixed her drink as it was starting to get cold. She walked deeper and deeper into the forest.
A nearby owl made a loud surprised screech as it took off past her and it immediately startled Sarah due to how much of a closeup it was. She sighed after knowing it was just a quick scare. "Owls...."
That's when a distant fainted cry of terror was heard from what seemed to be from the farest end of the forest. A long distant wolf-like howl was immediately followed by the fainted scream.
Sarah's hot-now-cold chocolate shook violently in her emerald green cup as she shuddered in deep fear.
She gulped. "A wolf maybe?"
The howl was made again as clouds moved away from the full moon, allowing it to shine its enchanted beams down on Sarah's quills.
"Yeah, just a wolf." She chuckled nervously. Little did she know, she was being stalked somewhere in the darkness. A deep low growl was sounded but not loud enough for her to notice.
"There you are, my pretty~" The deep voice chuckled to itself. It sounded masculine.
"Sonic! Sonic, you out there?! Sonic?!"
No response came to Sarah's calling towards the one she was looking for.
She sighed. "Damn....Where is that blue idiot?"
That's when she suddenly heard a rustle coming from the bushes behind her. She jolted and quickly turned around towards the rustling sound.
"Sonic?" She called again. "Is that you? Come on, buddy. I want to go home. Please, come with me."
Again, nothing. Perhaps it was just the wind that made the bushes rustle? No, it couldn't have been he wind. It stopped when the howl sounded off and has not blown since.
"Um....Okay? A raccoon, maybe?" She shrugged and turned back around just to walk away.
Emerald green eyes peeked through the bushes that was still behind her as they watched her slowly walk away while still looking for her possible lover.
"Sonic!" Sarah called out again. "Sonic!"
That's when the emerald green eyes aggressively leaped from behind the bushes and dashed violently towards Sarah.
It roared and Sarah immediately turned back to only see something rushing up to her. Not giving her time to think nor act, the mysterious creature leaped the last few feet at her and pinned her down to the ground. He caused her to painfully hit the back of her head and forced the rest of her drink to spill along with her cup shattering into pieces.
"GET OFF ME!" Sarah screamed and demanded the beast to do. However, he did not obey her command.
He chucked. "Oh, Sarah. I've been long waiting for this moment. I've always oh-so desperately wanted a mate to rule the neverending night with me."
"Ugh! What are you talking about?! How do you know my name?!"
"Hehe! I know you because I know you. I gave you that nickname. And you were looking for me. Remember?"
Her lime green eyes widened with immediate shock. "Sonic-?"
He immediately silenced her by quickly placing one of his claws on her mouth before she fully spoke his name. "Easy now, my dear. You will be alright soon enough."
She struggled to break free from the critter's grasp but failed. All she did was wasted her energy for nothing. Tears formed in her eyes as she saw the evil smirk of the creature. He was a werehog
"Now....Will you be my beautiful lady of the night, my dear?"
Sarah made a muffled scream, shaking her head in refusal.
He chuckled darkly. "Alright. If this is what you choose, then I guess this would have to be done the painful way."
Sarah shook her head again, trying to break free. She looked at her left towards the moon.
"Lady Luna, please help me. Don't curse me, my lady. Please-"
Her praying thoughts were interrupted as she suddenly became shocked from what happened. Sonic had quickly bitten her on the neck. Dark red blood oozed from both her neck and the werehog's mouth.
Pained tears fell from her eyes as she slowly closed her eyes after seeing the full moon for the last time that night. A faint distant howl was heard as her eyes was now fully closed as she passed out.
Immediately, she woke up and sat up in compete terror. Heavily breathing, she placed her right hand upon her forehead as she quickly wiped away nervous sweat with her right arm.
"Damn....Was that all just a nightmare? Sweet Master Emerald that dream seemed way too real."
She blinked in thought for a second as she released her right hand from her forehead.
"Or WAS that real?" She asked herself.
She sighed and looked at her phone for the time. It stated 4:30AM.
"I think it was just a quick nightmare." She thought but immediately heard a slight howl somewhere in the darkness of the dying night.
She looked out her window and saw the full moon starting to set so she could make way for her bright lover--The sun. And just when Sarah started to rub her neck, she immediately felt it.
"No friggin way...." She felt the mysterious bump again and quickly grabbed a nearby hand-held pocket mirror.
Looking into the mirror with the rest of the full moon's light shining, she could not believe what she has discovered--Bite marks from a dog-like creature.
"It was NOT a dream after all." She slowly lowered the mirror in complete shock as fear formed on her light turquoise face.
"I- I was bitten by something. Not just something, but I was bitten on the neck by....A werehog." Her nightmare became reality. "What is now gonna happen to me the next full moon?"
