The next day at Station Square, morning arrived and the sun was shining bright across the sky. Sonic woke up from his bed and found that Manic and Sonia's beds were empty.

"Man, they haven't come back since yesterday, I better check if their horses are here. If they are, Manic and Sonia is out in town" Sonic said in a slightly worried tone.

He walked to the barn and checks if they are there yet. They weren't back yet.

"Oh boy, they aren't back" Sonic sighs.

But behind him, Fiona was there, "But I'm back" she said.

"Fiona? What are you doing here?" Sonic crossed his arms, not in the mood to see her face again.

"Well Sonic, I got a question" Fiona said to him with a sly grin.

"What's your question?"

"Would you go out on a date with me?" Fiona asked.

"Uhhh......no" Sonic answered.

"But Sonic, what's the matter? We can see around the city, have ice cream and even pick up flowers" Fiona leaned in to him, spinning her finger on his chest.

"I would love to, but my siblings are missing right now" Sonic said, pushing her away but not roughly.

"Ah who cares" Fiona ignored that Sonic misses them.

Sonic did not like what Fiona just said and this made him angry inside.

"Sorry Fiona, I'm gonna find my siblings, so bye" Sonic said and is about to leave, but Fiona got in the way.

"First, go for a date with me now. They are nothing" Fiona grinned.

"No, I said no Fiona!" Sonic snaps out of it and pushed her roughly aside into the puddle. He then walks away from her.

"I will have him as my boyfriend, no matter what!" Fiona growled and walks away.

"I can't believe it, she ask me to go on a date with her. Me? The boyfriend of that boorish rude Fiona" Sonic talked to himself, "Man, I wonder if I'll ever find the true girl in my heart" He sat down and picks up a flower. He sniffs on it but then heard two horses neighing in panic.

They run up to him, they had been lost in the woods but managed to find their home.

"Julia, Philip. What happened to my brother and sister?" Sonic asks them worried. They neighed as they point at the way they came from.

"Julia, stay at the barn. Philip, take me to where Manic and Sonia are" Sonic said. He got up on Philip while Julia stays at the barn.

--

He rode all the way through the forest on Philip and they arrived where Manic and Sonia are, at the castle.

"Whoa, what is this place?" Sonic gasped.

He got off of Philip and walks towards the gates, seeing their pendants on the ground. He picked them up and his eyes widen, "Guys" he said and walks into the castle. He put their pendants in his quills and walks up to the door entrance.

He slowly opened the door and looks around the hallway, "Hello? Is anyone here?" he called out and began to search for his siblings. He walked upstairs while Cream watches him, she then rushed to Vanilla.

-

"Mom, there's a blue hedgehog boy here" she said.

"Nonsense, get into the bath" Vanilla picked Cream up and Cream bathes in the bowl full of dishwater.

Then a purple feather-duster appeared, "Hey, I saw a blue hedgehog in the castle" she said cheerfully.

-

Sonic walked through the hallways in the castle and he passes by Silver and Knuckles.

"Did you see that, Knucklehead?" Silver whispered to Knuckles.

The jumped off the table and peeks out to see it was a mobian blue hedgehog, "It's a boy!" Silver gasped.

"I know it's a boy. He's a mobian hedgehog" Knuckles grumbles.

"So, he's not just any hedgehog, he's the one! The boy we've been waiting for! He has come to break the spell!" Silver said and follows Sonic.

"Wait a minute! What are you doing?!" Knuckles ran after him.

They kept quiet while following the blue hedgehog down the halls when they passed by the door that leads to the tower.

"Sonia? Manic? Where are you?" Sonic called out.

Silver and Knuckles walks into a door leading to a tower.

Sonic heard the door creak and he goes into it, "Hello? Wait! I'm looking for my siblings!" he said as he goes upstairs to follow the light but no one was up there. Silver stands at the gap in the wall quietly.

"Is anyone here? That's weird, I'm sure I heard something" Sonic said.

"Sonic?" a familiar voice was heard behind the prison door.

"Manic? Sonia? Is that you guys?" Sonic gasped, and grabs the fire torch to see in the dark. He kneels down to see his brother and sister through the prison bars.

"Bro, how did you find us?" Manic asked, his voice was raspy and hoarse which made Sonic very worried.

"Oh, my god. Your hands are like ice. I gotta get you guys out of here" Sonic said.

"Sonic, I want you to leave this place" Sonia said.

"Who's done this to you?" Sonic asked.

"No time to explain, you must go now" Manic said.

"I won't leave you guys" Sonic said.

All of a sudden, he felt a strong hand grabbed his shoulder and roughly thrown on the floor.

"What are you doing here?!" the pink werehog roared.

"Run, Sonic!" Manic and Sonia yelled.

Sonic dropped the fire torch near the puddle and the flames went out.

"Ahh!! Who's there? Who are you?!" Sonic's voice was raspy of fear.

"The mistress of the castle" the pink werehog said, still in the shadows which was hard for Sonic to see her.

"I've come for my siblings, please let them out. Can't you see they're sick?" Sonic said to her.

"Then they shouldn't have trespassed here!" the pink werehog shouted.

"But they could die! Please I'll do anything!" Sonic pleaded.

"There's nothing you can do, they are my prisoners" the pink werehog ignores his pleading and is about to walk away.

"But there's something I can.... Wait!" Sonic tells the werehog to stop. He thinks for a moment and mutters "Take me instead"

"You?! You would take their place?" she asked and glanced at the blue hedgehog.

"Sonic, no! You don't know what you're doing!" Sonia said.

"Bad idea, bro!" Manic said.

Sonic then continued, "If I did, would you let them go?" Sonic asked.

"Yes, but.... you must promise to stay here forever" the female werehog said.

"Come into the light" Sonic tells her, squinting his eyes to see what she really is.

The pink beast puts her spiked boots near the light that's coming from the window, slowly showing her appearance of what she is. She had spiked red boots, black leggings, torn red shirt exposing her stomach, and torn ripped pink cape. She was a dark pink werehog with white tips on her quills and bangs on her forehead, green eyes like Sonic's, pale pink muzzle skin and scary sharp teeth.

Sonic gasps in fright and looks away.

"No Sonic, I won't let you do this!" Manic begged his brother but Sonic walks up to the female werehog.

"You have my word" Sonic said with his eyes closed.

"Done!" she said and walks up to the prison door to release the hedgehogs.

Sonic kneels down in sadness for making the choice to save his brother and sister.

"Bro, why did you do that?" Sonia kneels down to look at her brother.

But right before Sonic could say more, the pink werehog drags the two hedgehogs, leaving Sonic alone.

"Wait!"

The female werehog was now outside dragging Sonic's siblings.

"No spare our brother!" Manic and Sonia pleaded as they got dragged.

"He's no longer your concern!" the beast throws them in the palanquin, "Take them back to the city" she told the palanquin.

"Let us out!" they screamed as the palanquin rises and walks away from the castle. Sonic watched them leave as he sobs.

The pink werehog heads back to the tower when she heard her servant say 'Mistress'.

"What?!" she growled lowly to Silver which made him flinch.

"Um, since the blue hedgehog is gonna be here for quite some time. I was hoping if you would offer him to be more comfortable in the room" Silver said.

But the werehog snarls and walks up the spiral stairs to the tower to see the blue hedgehog.

"Then again maybe not" Silver said nervously.

Sonic sobs in sadness but he was glad that he saved his brother and sister but he didn't get the chance to say 'goodbye' to them. He saw the werehog's shadow on the wall and looks at her.

"You didn't even let me say goodbye" he sobs out loud and looks away from the pink beast.

The werehog felt ashamed, 'Maybe I was too harsh on him' she said in her mind but didn't show it to the blue hedgehog, "I'll....show you to your room" she said.

"My room?" Sonic asked.

"You wa-wanna stay in the tower?" she asked sarcastically.

"No" Sonic said.

"Then follow me" she said and leads him down from the tower. She was holding Silver in her hand. She looks back to see the saddened Sonic. He looked around the hallway to see scary statues of gargoyles.

"Say something to him" Silver whispered.

"Um, by the way. I'm Amy" the werehog said, looking back to Sonic shyly. Silver signals Amy to continue.

"The castle is your home now so you can go where ever you like, except the West Wing" Amy tells Sonic.

"What's in there?" Sonic asked.

"It's forbidden!" Amy shouted. Growling lowly and fixing her cap from her back.

They arrived at Sonic's new room as the pink beast opens the door to let him in there.

"Now if you need anything my servants will attend you" Amy said.

"Invite him for dinner, Mistress" Silver suggested.

She growled lowly for Silver to shut up, "You will join me for dinner. That's not a request!" she slams the door shut.

Sonic jumps up in fright from the loud slam and sobs again, walking up to the window to see that winter season has arrived and it was snowing fast.
