PoV: Sonic

It was warm and I could feel a gentle fabric enveloping me. The weight of a blanket surrounded my body. I felt a gentle hand slowly running its fingers through my clothes.

"You're awake," my sight was blurry as I opened them. As my sight cleared I could see Fleetaway sitting in front of me, "Let's try making medicine for another demon today?"

"Fleetaway?" I looked around as I realized we weren't in the basement of the mansion anymore. We were in one of the bedrooms in the mansion. Suddenly I recalled everything that had happened the past few days, "Oh chaos Fleetaway!" I grabbed him and started checking all of his vitals, "Are you alright? I don't know what happened, I wasn't myself. I don't know what I was thinking-"

"Sonic..." he grabbed me, "You remember me..."

"Y-yeah... why would I forget you?" I suddenly recalled my dream of the strange demon who wished to sleep, "Wait was that real?"

"Sonic!" He hugged me, "You did it. You're a demon now."

"Huh?" I had completely forgotten what happened in the basement.

"It's alright," he pulled me down into his lap, "Relax."

He stroked my quills and reminded me of everything that had happened. I took a few deep breaths before turning around to see myself in the mirror. I was afraid of how I'd look, yet I knew my fur was at least the same shade of blue. It wasn't dark like the boy's.

"You're beautiful," Fleetaway smiled as he showed me the large mirror in the corner.

My body was hidden away in a thick kimono. I could see an immediate change in my face. My pupils were mildly more narrow. My eyelashes were thicker and longer. I had small fangs that poked at my bottom lip. My nails were long and sharp but not claw-like. I had no wings and no demonic tail. My tail was the same blue tail as before.

"Is Mephiles around?" I asked.

"No, he's in the library right now," Fleetaway answered me.

"It's just you then," I looked in the mirror, I couldn't see many other changes yet... my body felt different from before. I took another breath before undoing the belt of the kimono and letting it drop to the floor. My body looked different in a familiar way. It looked the same yet it felt unfamiliar. My chest felt as if it was mildly plumper than it was before. It felt safe for my legs and hips. As though they were the slightest bit thicker than before.

"You're stunning like this," Fleetaway pulled a thinner kimono around me. This one pink with a pattern of sakura petals around it, "Let's get you your first meal as a demon."

"Right..." I looked back at the room as we walked out, I'm really a demon...

"So, how is he today?" Mephiles came in as I was eating.

"His memory is recovered," Fleetaway answered gleefully and Mephiles turned to me.

"Sonic," he walked up to me and raised my chin with his hand, "I welcome you to the netherworld as its newest demon."

  I felt chills as I froze in place. Mephiles was a terrifying demon... I knew it wouldn't be long before he used me to breed again. I waited for any further contact from him but received nothing. He simply let my chin go and walked away. I felt a faint relief, I knew it wouldn't be long before he did so.

My memories of him bathing and feeding me while I had amnesia seemed surreal. It felt impossible for him to have such a caring side to him with the way he constantly treated me. But... it does mean he has a good side to him. I wonder if I can help him be nicer. Fleetaway got better when I started teaching him about plants. Maybe Mephiles needs a hobby.

  I'll think about that later, right now I need to go back to the village.

  I had regained all of my memories of the days I spent with my subconscious in limbo. I had a brief understanding of how my abilities worked. Before I visited the village I wanted to be sure I wouldn't hurt anyone.

But now I have everything I need to keep making medicine for the villagers.
