Pink Riding Hood

The Real Truth

(Great Grandfather's POV; Flashback)

I was having a great time with my wife and my 10 year old son in the wild. We were right now roaming around peacefully, "So dad, anything in mind right now?" My son asked me.

"Trust me on this one; we're gonna find the perfect spot to prey at" I said.

"But no mobians or humans; we don't want to be discovered" My wife said.

"Of course sweetheart" I assured her.

Much later, we found a deer and killed it for our supper. It was really tasty, despite all the bones. I saw my son fallen asleep on my wife's lap. I guess he ate a lot of meat today and was very tired. I nudged them both gently and got down to get some sleep as well. It was still noon but a nap will get us some energy for night time.

An hour later, I woke up when I smelled something good. I don't know what it is but that scent was new to me. I couldn't help but follow and I saw a pink hedgehog wearing a dress and a red hooded cloak, carrying a basket filled with something. I know I'm not supposed to be discovered but whatever that scent is in the basket is really addicting. I followed but I accidently stepped on a branch. The red hooded girl looked at where I was but I hide behind a tree.

"Who's there? I know I heard something. Show yourself!" She said.

I better keep quiet or I....no! Not that feeling! Must resist! I can't hide forever, I'm gonna have to talk to her. I walked out and revealed myself to her.

"What are you?" The little girl asked.

"I'm a werehog. We're rare around here" I explained.

"I thought you were a wolf. I'm heading for my grandmother" She said.

"What's in that basket? It smells good" I asked.

"Oh, that's my own pie" The girl showed.

"I could try a piece...." I was about to taste it when she snatched it away.

"Nuh uh! It's not for you! It's for my grandmother! Get lost!" She yelled.

"Urrrgh! Fine!" I snapped and left her. I really need that pie! No, don't go savage! Don't go savage! I can't lose myself! I need to get that pie or I'll go savage! If that pie is for her grandmother then I need to be like her grandmother. I ran on all fours as fast as I can to her grandmother's cottage.

When I got there her grandmother was sleeping so I have to do this, disguise as her. I had to do this the hard way; I instantly tied her and hid her in the closet when I took a spare pajamas and hat. I snuck into the blankets and waited for the red hooded girl; licking my lips greedily.

Soon I heard her coming in, "Granny I'm here!"

"Oh, hello sweetie. Come here" I imitated her grandma.

"Grandma, you sound different" She walked up to me.

"I don't feel so good" I lied.

"So that I'm gonna BITE you!!!" I shred my disguise. Oh, no! I'm losing it!

"What....big....claws....you have!" She backs away.

"To rip you to shreds with!" I said menacingly.

I was about to pounce on her when the door burst and a hunter stood there with his rifle, "GET AWAY FROM HER!"

(Sonic's POV)

I was very shocked and stunned; my Great Grandfather went savage because Amy's grandma refused to share pie with him, "All this because of not sharing?" I was really astonished too.

"Yes, it's my entire fault. If I did share my pie with him then none of this would have happened" Amy's grandma said.

"So my ancestor didn't swallow your grandmother? He hid her in the closet?" I asked.

"And he didn't eat me whole too. I'm sorry for lying. I didn't want everyone to know what really happened to your ancestor. So I made up the ending of the story" Amy's grandma said.

"It's all right. So what really happened to my Great Grandfather?" I asked.

"He went completely savage but I saw that he was trying to calm himself down but he couldn't. Right after the hunter came he shot your ancestor's heart" Amy's grandma said.

"Ohhh, he did put an end of it a bit" I said.

"But it was the last time I saw him alive that night. My mother was angry and she buried my father's body in the basement of that cottage. And put his journal and other remains with his body" Grandpa said.

"And now he's back from the dead somehow" Dad said.

"Fighting my ancestor will only make things worse. The only thing to make him go back to his resting place is to complete something that he didn't get in his life" I said.

"The pie. But he won't remember me because I'm not a little girl anymore" Amy's grandma said.

"Let me do it. I look a lot like you in your youth" Amy suggested.

"Good idea. But please be careful while Sonic is at your side" Amy's grandma said.

"I agree. You need me in case he attacks" I said and placed my hand on Amy's shoulder.

"How kind of you Sonikku" Amy said, taking my hand.

After we baked the pie we prepared to face my ancestor again, "I hope he can talk again. And understand that I'm his Great Grandson" I said.

"It's worth a try my son. But I don't wanna lose you" Father walked up to me and Amy.

"And I don't want to lose all of you. I lost my mother and I don't want to lose anyone again" I said.

"Now Sonic, go and free your Great Grandfather from his savage self" Father said.

"If he's able to understand that I'm his Great Grandson" I sigh.

"Just be safe" He hugged me.

"I will father" I hugged him back.

Then Amy and I headed outside to find my Great Grandfather at the old cottage, "Okay, be calm Ames" I said.

"I'm perfectly calm, Sonikku" Amy said.

"You sure?" I asked.

"Are you very worried about me?" Amy teased me with a grin.

"Of course I am. I don't want you to be killed or eaten" I said.

"Don't be silly" Amy chuckled and dances around with the basket.

I couldn't help but giggle at how cute she does that. Suddenly, we made it to the old abandon cottage. Outside was my ancestor gnawing on a carcass bone. When we got close, he looked up and walks up at us with heavy footsteps; Amy did her best to remain calm with me as he approaches us.
