Sonic's Alpha part 5

"You will in due time, my love."

Sonic the Hedgehog woke up in a cold sweat. He panted, looking around frantically. When he saw that he was still in his bedroom, he sighed with relief.

'What the heck was that all about?' he thought, getting his breathing back under control, running his gloveless fingers through his quills.

"Ugh," he groaned when he saw that not only was he dripping with sweat, but his bed was soaked, too. He cast a glance over to his bedroom window and could see the sun just starting to rise. He looked back at his clock, which read 6:12 a.m.

"Darn dream," he grumbled because once he's awake, there's no use in trying to get back to sleep.

He grabbed a fresh pair of socks and gloves and headed over to his bathroom. The warm water of his shower was soothing to the fur and he was finished in no time, feeling as good as new. After grabbing a nearby towel and drying his quills, he walked over to his medicine cabinet, noticing that the mirror was fogged from the hot steam before opening it to grab his toothbrush and toothpaste. After a quick brushing, he rinsed and placed both items back inside and closed the medicine cabinet.

"GAAHH!!" he screamed, jumping back and knocking over some of everything as he gazed in complete horror at what was in the mirror.

'Last night was no dream, SONIKUU,' read the writing on the mirror, as the letters dripped with blood.

Sonic's heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. His eyes were wide and his breathing was out of control. With his eyes still fixed on the mirror, he quickly felt around for the door handle and opened it, bolting out of his bathroom and bedroom, grabbing his sneakers along the way. Sonic hopped on one sneakered foot as he tried to put on the other and ended up falling halfway down the stairs. He scrambled to his feet and was out of his house in seconds, slamming the door so hard that the walls vibrated.

There was only one person he knew that could have the answers to this.
