Wolf Hamster: The Remake (Chapter 1 - 3)
Chapter 1: No Ordinary Hamster
"Ah.. I just love spring.. the flowers sprouting, the air feeling just right and a wonderful place to lay at.. like on the grass, when the sun is going away for the day." Said a white hamster laying on the grass. Her name is Lilly and she has blonde hair that is tied up in a ponytail with a blue ribbon wrapping around it. Behind her is her house that has three bedrooms that is located beside a big forest. The sun is setting and the female just wants to relax.. but her relaxation ends up being interrupted by her little brother... Another hamster comes out of the house through the front door and walks down the small staircase that has a small porch above it. This hamster is wearing a green baseball hat with brown ears and brown fur starting below his tail, while the rest of his fur is white. "Aren't you coming in Lilly..? You promised that you would tuck me in tonight.."
"Meh.. why don't you tuck yourself in, Skyler?" Lilly and Skyler are brother and sister. Their mom disappeared one day and never returned.. and their dad is searching for her. "Fine.." Skyler slowly walks back inside the house. "Why did I have to be the one to take care of him?!" She said in a upsetting tone. She sighs and then looks up at the sunset sky and sees a faded early full moon above her. "The moon is out Thinking of the moon reminds me of a tale my grandpa told me a long time ago when I was young.." She begins to wonder what that tale is as she closes her tired green eyes and starts to fall asleep.
The next day, in the evening a mysterious hamster runs on all fours through the forest beside Lilly and Skyler's home and hides behind a tree trunk, peeks an eye out from the edge of the trunk and runs to another tree trunk and keeps doing the same thing a few more times until he gets to the trunk that is on the edge of the forest and beyond a certain female hamster slumbers in the grass. The hamster sniffs at her, walks slowly towards her, still on his paws and feet and when he gets closer to her he stands, as his front dark brown paws stop touching the ground. He leans his body towards her to get a better look, seeing how pretty she is, he blushes but becomes alert when she starts to mumble a little. This makes him gasp loudly and quickly runs back to the forest on all fours again. Lilly sits up with droopy eyes and yawns, she looks at her left side and blinks in confusion with normal eyes. "I thought I heard somebody and I heard feet running.." She looks at the forest. "Maybe it went in there.." She gets up and decides to investigate. The white hamster looks in front of her, to her right and to left but can't find anyone.. Suddenly she spots a blue hamster eye behind a trunk but the eye disappears as the owner of it quickly runs away. The female follows him. "Wait! I won't hurt you!" She sees that the hamster hides behind another tree trunk. "Please show yourself. I'll be nice to you if you do." The hamster slowly walks away from his hiding place and walks in front of the dark brown trunk. Seeing it better she notices that it is brown with two orange tiger stripes down from it's head to it's forehead and two more orange tiger stripes on each side, next to it's stomach. Has blue eyes, it's right eye has three claw marks going across it, dark brown paws and feet, and a big piece of it's right ear is gone and is left with a jagged edge.. His paws and feet are an unusual color though, being dark brown instead of peach. Almost everything looks normal on this hamster but there are some things that she never saw on any hamster before. "Wha-What happened to your ear and your eye??!"
At first this mysterious rodent looked nervous at first but is now angry.
"It's none of your business!" It spoke in a young male's voice.
"O-Oh.. okay.. Anyway, where you beside me earlier when I was sleeping?"
He gulps and blushes hard. "N-No! W-Why would I do such a thing?"
"Well, I didn't get a look at what it was but I do know that it ran into this forest! And since you ran away from me before I said anything to you, then you MUST be the one!" Lilly explained.
"ACK! W-W-Well maybe it was s-someone else." He said with a strong nervous tone.
"Your lieing! It was you, admit it!!" She shouted.
"I-I, well.. y-you." He sighs deeply. "Alright.. you got me." He looks away. "I-I was just curious.. t-that's all. And it was stupid so I won't do it again! I usually don't.. sneak up on a girl.."
"OOOhh! So, that's it." She giggles. "I don't know why you would be curious about me but it's cute." She smiles.
He blushes hard again as he looks at her. "I wasn't trying to be cute! I don't know why I was thinking of doing something like that but that is NOT cute!"
She giggles again. "What's your name anyway? My name is Lilly and I live with my little brother named Skyler."
He looks down. "I'm.. Miles. I'm a.. just a regular guy who just looks weird."
"Nice to meet you, Miles. Just a regular guy, huh?"
He looks at her with a slight smile. "Yep.."
"Then.. what was with the running and the hiding? Where you really scared?"
"Umm.. uhh.. N-No, that's not.. it."
"Oh? But why where you doing that then?"
He blushes. "I-I.. uhh.." Suddenly he senses something and his pupils grown small but return back to normal. "I gotta go but let's meet back here tomorrow during the day! Okay?!" He said in a hurry.
"Okay.. but how about we meet in front of my house?"
"Your house? You live nearby?" He said normally.
"Yeah! It's the only house that's right beside this forest, you can't miss it!"
"Sure! See ya!" He said in a hurry again and then runs off on all four feet.
Lilly stands there, now alone in the forest in silence during a sunset. "That.. was weird. Why was he in such a hurry..?"
"Where is he? I wonder what's taking him so long?" Lilly asked to herself. She sits on the first step of her porch. She already took Skyler to the bus stop a few hours ago but that guy still isn't here.
Suddenly Miles comes running out of the forest and towards her, all four feet pounding on the ground with every moment. "I'm sorry about being late!" He said while running but stops and stands up after being close to the porch. He starts panting as his small tongue hangs out of his mouth. He notices this and puts it back in but keeps panting. "Miles!"
She shouts happily. "What took you so long?" She asked.
"I had.. to run down a hill.. That's why.." He said through his panting.
"Why where you on a hill?"
"Ever since.. I found that.. hill... I've been using it to.. think about stuff. And it's.. my favorite spot.. to be at. Man, I need.. a drink!"
"Would you like water?"
"Yes, please.." He said, still panting.
After Lilly comes out with a cup of water and gives it to him, he takes it and uses his tongue to drink it, like a wolf and drinks the rest of it normally.
"Ahhh.. refreshing.. Water is the best, don't you think?" He said with a smile. "What's wrong with you..?" He sees that she is looking at him with a confused look.
"Why where you drinking that water with your tongue..?" She questioned.
"I-I was! Damn! Just.. uhh.. forget about that, okay?!"
"But I saw it.. You where using your tongue..."
"Shut up!! I said to forget about it!" He then growls.
She gulps. "Okay, okay! I-I'll forget about it, just calm down!"
He stops growling and looks down in shame. "Sorry.. I do that.. sometimes when I'm mad."
"It's alright.. How about we forget about this and go inside?" She then turns her head to look at her home and looks back at him.
"In.. side..? Geez.. I haven't been inside anyone's house for months.. I've always been outside.. in forests." Miles said with a sigh.
"You haven't been inside a house for months?!"
Miles nods shamefully with his eyes closed and opens them.
"Don't worry about it! It isn't that bad to always be outside. In fact it's kinda cool!" She smiles.
"R-Really..? But I'm just so.. different and weird.. You don't know much of that at all.."
"So what? It's alright to be different! 'I don't know about being weird though..' I still think living outside is kind of cool!"
"'Lilly..' You don't know me that well and yet your still nice to me.. Why is that?" He said with a blush.
"Because I want to be friends with you and I did say that I would be nice to you if you came out of your hiding spot when we met."
"You.. really want to be friends.. with someone like me..?"
She nods her head with a smile.
"I hope that I feel the same way with you but.. I'm still unsure if I want that or not.. The last girl that I was with broke my heart when she saw.. something about me... But she didn't care about me at all after that.." Miles then sighs.
"'That.. darn.. hamster.. How dare she does something awful to him!' Grr... How rude!"
"Yeah, she was defiantly rude.. But how about we go for a walk in the forest instead?"
"Sure!" Said Lilly happily.
The two hamsters walk through the forest side by side, there isn't any pathways so they walk where ever they want.
"When it comes to the forest or even the woods, I'm usually comfortable and when things get rough, I'm able to handle it by myself." He said with a smile.
"It's no wonder your like that, since you've been living outside for months." Said Lilly, interested. "Your really used to it, huh?"
"Yep. To tell you the truth though.. Almost a year ago, I used to be scared of going into forests or woods. The day after one cruel night though.. my fear of being in places like this disappeared and never came back."
"Really?? Wow! What a sudden change!" She said with amazement. "One cruel night..? W-What happened??"
His eyes move to her as the white hamster sees sadness in them. "Miles..?"
"I'm okay.. But I think it's best that you don't know anything about what happened that night.. I'm saying this because I don't want you to be scared and.. I don't want what happened to me.. happen to you too." He said with worry.
"...So, when you.. said it was cruel..."
"I really ment it.." A different smell to him suddenly comes to his nostrils. He sniffs to make sure it's there. "I never smelled this scent before.." He mumbled. And then runs off on all fours a little but stops and looks back at her. "I'll be right back! Stay there!" Miles then runs off again but doesn't stop this time. "Now what..?" She asked herself.
Chapter 2: The Hunter
Getting close to what he is smelling, he spots a hamster wearing a hunter's coat and a fishing hat with a feather through it and is carry a gun with his back towards him.. He walks up to the hamster, still on all fours. "What are you doing on my territory?"
He turns towards the voice. "Your territory? You don't own this forest, boy. And why are you claiming the forest as your territory in the first place?" He said, suspiciously. "Are you really a hamster.. or something more?" This makes Miles gulp.
"Rrr.. Who cares?! Just get out of this forest, right now!!" He then growls.
"Heh.. So, you are something more.." The Hunter then aims his gun at him with one paw as a finger is close to the trigger.
Lilly can't wait for him any longer, she has to go find him and eventually does as she spots Miles.. and another hamster? She hides behind a tree trunk and sees the brown and orange hamster growling as the other hamster points his gun at him. "Why is that hamster aiming a gun at Miles??!
"I hate it when someone invades my territory.. So get lost!!" Shouted Miles.
The Hunter grins. "Then how about you make me, boy."
"Don't you dare hurt him!!" Lilly shouted. She runs to the growling hamster and stands in front of him.
"W-What are you doing here?!" Miles quickly gets up on two feet.
She looks back at him. "I'm saving you, of course." She said with a smile.
He smiles slightly at her.
"You better get away from him if you know what's best for you! He's not a normal hamster, young lady! He's in fact a Wolf Hamster, a species that is half wolf and half hamster.. Which makes him fair game since he's wild half way."
"What??! A Wolf Hamster?!" Lilly shouted in surprise.
She looks back at him as Miles looks at her with a worried expression. "'I'm.. a Wolf Hamster..? I-Is that what.. I am..? Is that why I don't act normal all the time.. Is that why I keep transforming into a wolf like creature??!'"
"Miles, is this.. true?" Asked Lilly.
Miles steps away from her with tears in his eyes and then quickly runs away into the deep part of the forest on all fours.
"MILES!" She shouted with worry as tears form in her eyes. She wipes away her tears and then notices a big stick on the ground and picks it up."Why you.. Why did you tell me that Miles is this Wolf Hamster thing for?!! That's why he ran away from me! You stupid, stupid, stupid hunter!!" The white hamster said this while hitting The Hunter's head with the big stick.
"Oww, Oww, Oww, ouch! Stop it!!" He shouted. She stops but hangs on to the stick.
"I only said that since he wasn't acting normal! And for your own good!" He said, taking off his hat and rubbing his head.
"So what?! It didn't mean that you had to tell me! I can take care of myself and I don't need any help from you, you stupid hunter!" She then hits The Hunter's head again but this time.. she hits him harder on his hat-less head.
"OWW!!" He screamed in pain and then rubs his head again. "Fine.. but it's your own dang fault if you get bitten by him! If a Wolf Hamster bites a hamster, then he or she will turn into what bit them!! And you'll live like that for the rest of your life cause there's no turning back!" After his ranting/explaining.. he walks away.
She watches The Hunter walk away in anger but by the time he's out of sight, Lilly thinks about what he told her. 'I wonder if all of that stuff is true..? Will Miles actually bite me..?' She thinks for a small moment but then shakes her head no, thinking that it will never happen. "No, he would never do that!! But.. do I really know him that well..? I mean.. we just met.."
Then it begins to rain as the weather now matches her sorrow.. Will Miles ever return to her side again..?
She slowly walks to her house and walks through the door and sees her brother, standing in the kitchen as he wonders why she's so sad..
"What's wrong, sis..?" Asked Skyler.
"Nothing bro.. just leave me alone.." She slowly said.
She goes upstairs, into her bedroom, shuts the door and lays on her bed with her face hiding in the pillow as she starts to cry..
Lilly soon cries herself to sleep and wakes up on her side with the sound of a wolf howling. 'A wolf? But I thought wolves don't live here.. I've lived here ever since I was young and I never saw a wolf or heard a wolf before.. So, why now? But it doesn't matter.. I'm going back to sleep.' She thought, laying down and then shuts her eyes.
"LILLY! LILLY!!" Her brother shouted with worry while knocking on her bedroom door.
"Rrr.." She didn't want to get up but.. she has to, to shut him up, hopefully. "I'm coming!"
She gets out of bed, walks to her door and opens it. "What is it Skyler..?"
"D-Did you hear that howling..? Well, it woke me up and it was so creepy that I got.. s-scared.." Said Skyler, shivering.
"Yeah and it woke me up too... it's so weird that there's a wolf near by.. and that we didn't hear it before until tonight."
"Please save me, Lilly! I don't want to be eaten!" Said Skyler, still shivering while hugging Lilly.
"When where you scared of wolves?"
"T-Tonight.. their howls are so creepy!" He hugs her tightly.
Another wolf howl is heard. "Mommy!! Save me!!" He said, closing his eyes in fear and hugs her tighter.
"S-Skyler.. your hugging me too tight." He quickly let's go of her. "It's going to be alright. I'll see why there's a wolf out there." She hugs him and walks downstairs.
"Alright.. Bye.." He feels worried about her going after a wolf by herself but he's too scared to go. That is until.. yet another wolf howl is heard. "Wa.. Wait!! Don't leave me here alone! Let me come with you!" Said Skyler, hugging Lilly tightly again.
"Alright." He let's go of her. "Just no more tight hugs.. your tight hugs are too tight..."
The two walk into the dark forest with rain coats on since it's still raining. Deeper and deeper they walk, while Lilly is holding a flashlight of course. They would have a hard time finding the wolf without it.. The more they walk through the creepy looking forest, the howls sound closer and closer as the wolf keeps howling. That's when the little brother chickens out and wants to stay behind. "I-I-I'm gonna.. s-stay behind.." He said in a scared tone.
"Alright, I'll come back for you until I see this wolf for myself. 'Pff.. chicken.'"
Alone, Lilly walks up a hill that leads to an open field with no trees only the ones surrounding it into the shape of a circle. And there she sees a small wolf in the darkness, standing with it's tail tucked between it's legs, showing that it's scared.
'There really is a wolf near our home!' She's about to shine the light of her flashlight to it but it quickly runs away towards the trees. "W-Wait! Don't go.." She runs after it but quickly loses sight of it, despite having a flashlight. The white hamster stops running and lowers her head in sorrow while walking back to her brother.
"W-What happened?! W-Was there really a wolf up there..?!"
"Yeah.. there was but it ran away. There wasn't anymore wolves around so I think this might be the only one that's around here.. poor thing.. must be lonesome being by itself.."
"Oh.. that sucks.."
"I guess we should go home and get back to sleep.." Said Lilly with a yawn.
"Yeah.." Said Skyler with a yawn.
Both of them go back home and they fall asleep in their beds.
The next morning, the rain has stopped hours ago and the sun is shining bright. It's Saturday so Lilly doesn't have to wake up her brother for school today, instead she gets out of bed and walks outside and sits on the first step of the small porch wondering if Miles will come today despite what happened yesterday. Even though she decides to wait for him, she's also nervous about seeing him again. She really wants to know his side of the story about him being a Wolf Hamster. A being that is both hamster.. and wolf? To her it sounds like something out of a fictional story but could such a creature really exist? And is Miles that hybrid like creature? The ribbon wearing hamster waits.. and waits.. but there is no sign of him anywhere. Is he ever going to show up? After about a half an hour later, she lowers her head and frowns.
"It doesn't look like he's going to come.. Maybe I should quit waiting and go inside?
Maybe he really is a Wolf Hamster like that hunter said.. Sigh."
However, little did she know is that Miles is near by on the edge of the forest next to her house, hiding behind a tree's trunk with his back against it. 'I wonder if she believes what that hunter said to her.. Can she even be comfortable with a hamster like.. me? I'm most likely that Wolf Hamster creature.. it makes sense after all. I do wolf-ish things and then there's my transforming. But she saw me last night as well.. Did she figure out that it was me? It didn't look like it.. At least there's that silver-lining.' He smiles. "Just because of that hunter being there and what he said to her, doesn't mean I should let this bother me. Besides she can't believe such a thing exists without proof, can she? I doubt it. Right, I'm gonna go see her." So he comes out of his hiding place and walks out of the forest.
Lilly lifts her head up and sees him walking towards her. Her eyes sparkle with glee and runs to him on her two feet. The brown and orange hamster sees this and becomes nervous at first but smiles after seeing her happy expression. When she gets close to him she gives him a hug, which surprises the strange hamster. "Miles! Your back!" She shouted with happiness.
But he wiggles to break free of the hug and manages to do so and startles Lilly, being very confused about this strange action.
"Don't ever hug me again! I'm.. just not.. good with hugs, okay? Y-You shouldn't hug someone like me.. I used to enjoy being hugged.. but that was a long time ago and a lot of things have changed!" Miles explained in a harsh tone.
"O-Oh.. I-I didn't know.. I'm so sorry! Please forgive me!"
"It wasn't that big of a deal.. so it's fine." He said with a slight smile.
She walks closer to him. "So.. your alright.. right?"
He nods but blushes a lot with her being closer to him. "But.. I.. uhh.. I want to ask you.. s-something."
"What is it..?"
"When that h-hunter.. told you that I-I'm a W-Wolf Hamster.. Did you b-believe him..?"
"I don't know if I should believe in him or not but it sounds made up.. Though I'm not sure if I saw a Wolf Hamster last night or not but.. I did hear and see a small wolf."
Miles gulps and starts to shiver in fear. "Y-Y-Yeah, it d-defiantly sounds m-made up.. S-So you saw a small w-wolf.. h-huh? T-That's umm.. g-great."
"Are you feeling.. alright?" She looks at his whole body. "Your whole body is shivering! You can't be alright!"
"S-Shivering?! I'm n-not shivering!"
'Liar..' She thought with a suspicious look. "This has to do with that hunter.. isn't it? You can tell me."
He blushes hard, embarrassed by his action yesterday. "Y-Yeah.. it is.."
"You are a Wolf Hamster then..? And why did you run away from me? If you didn't, I would have protected you until that hunter left."
His shivering subsides somewhat. "I-I just can't.. answer t-that question yet 'I don't even know myself.. I might be but I have to.. make sure first.. heh, heh..' I-I dunno why but I-I just felt really s-scared and worried a-about myself.. and y-you too."
"Oh, it's alright.. Worried about me?"
"I-I don't want to a-accidentally h-hurt you.." Miles' shivering stops. "Your nice to me and you worry about me, even though we just met. Before I met you, I was always by myself in a forest or in the woods. I don't like being alone.. but when I know I have a good relationship with someone then I can be without that hamster sometimes but always being alone really sucks."
Lilly smiles. "You really want to be good to me, don't you?"
He looks at her with determination. "I don't ever want to hurt you and if I did I would feel really bad.."
She sighs deeply in relief. "I didn't think that you would but.. after you left that hunter warned me that it will be my fault if I get bitten by you. A-And if I did.. then I would become a Wolf Hamster and will have to live that way for the rest of my life because.. there would be no way to turn back to normal... But if you really are such a creature, then there's nothing to worry about because you won't bite me." She said with a smile.
'If I really am one.. then.. I'll make sure that I don't bite her. So, there's.. no cure to being one..?' He gulps and frowns. "S-So.. that small w-wolf or whatever it was.. D-Did you see any m-markings on it..?" He said nervously.
"I didn't since it was so dark outside.. Maybe if it wasn't raining, I could've seen the moon and might give me enough light to see if there's any, though I'm not sure if there was one that night. I did have a flashlight though but before I shinned it on the wolf, it ran away. I was able to see it's tail tucked between it's legs though and it looked like it was.. all alone. That was the first howl and the first wolf I seen.. my brother, Skyler also heared the howls and it woke both of us since we were sleeping."
He smiles, thanks to the good news on his part. "That's great!" He then gets a confused look from Lilly. "I-I mean.. Wow, first howl, first wolf.. heh, heh. That's uhh.. weird to see something.. like that."
"Yeah, I've lived here ever since I was young and when Skyler was just a baby and I never even heard a howl before and wolves aren't even around here.. so, it's very weird."
Chapter 3: Lilly's Home
"So.. what would you like to do? I could show you around inside the house. If you like to, that is." Said Lilly, smiling.
"Sure!" Miles then looks at the grass with a frown. "But not for too long.."
When they met, Miles ran away from her in a hurry during a sunset, after saying their goodbyes and planning on meeting each other in front of her house. She never asked him why he had to leave so soon so she decides to.
"Why not? You know.. after we met, you had to leave in a hurry during a sunset.. Why did you have to leave?" She questioned.
"Umm.. well.. You know, being able to see the inside of your home sounds great! How about we do that?" He then finishes his sentence with a big smile.
"Hey! Don't change the subject!" She argued with a loud voice but her voice softens. "Come on Miles.. please tell me."
Miles blushes hard, not wanting to tell her about his transformation. "W-Well.. I've.. got stuff to do.. at night..."
"Stuff? What kind of stuff?" She asks with suspicion.
"Just.. umm.. stuff.. lots of.. stuff."
"Miles." Lilly says in a disturbed voice. "What kind of STUFF?"
"It's a secret, alright?!" He said in a loud panicky voice.
"Then that means that you don't want to tell me.. Is that right?" She said, feeling down.
Miles nods. "So... Can I see your place then?"
Lilly tries to bargin with him, lightly. "How about I do something for you and if I can, then you can tell me your secret?"
He replies with a disturbed face. "You do something for me? Face it, you can't get me something that I want. It's beyond your reach and mine.."
"Oh? And that is?" She questioned.
"MAKING ME NORMAL!! I want to be normal so badly! You know that I'm not normal.. All of the weird things that I've been doing and are still doing, I want them to stop!!" He ranted in anger and frustration.
Lilly gulps from his ranting and he sees this. "M-My bad.. But that's what.. I want and it's most likely not going to happen.. So, your gonna have to deal with that answer being a secret because at this rate I'm NOT going to even give you a hint on what it can be."
"Okay.. I'm s-sorry.."
Miles pats her left side, close to her head (as one pats one's shoulder). "It's no problem, Lilly. Really." And gives her a soft smile as she blushes.
"Since that's over and done with.. How about we go inside?"
"Sure!" She says happily and the two walk to her house and up the stairs. She then opens the door and holds it for him to walk through.
He gulps and becomes too nervous to step inside. Lilly frowns and decides to push him through the doorway. He replies with a growl like he did before when she got between him and The Hunter in order to save his life. With his growl being louder and ruff, it's strange that he growls that way but she decides to move the thought aside. After getting him inside she shuts the door.
"Phew.. your hard to push.. But this is my home! Well.. me and my brother's. We're in the kitchen now and the other room that's connected to it, is the living room." She then smiles, knowing that Miles is inside her home.
"What about your parents..?" He questioned.
"My mom disappeared.. and my dad went to find her.. I'm not sure what happened to her.. At first she was around and then.. she's.. gone..." She said in a depressed tone.
"Oh.. that's terrible... So, you two live here.. by yourselves..?"
She nods with a frown. "I miss both of them a lot.. especially mom. My dad's name is Benjamin and my mom's name is Elizabeth.."
They walk out of the kitchen and into the living room. She points to a brown and white hamster playing a video game in front of the tv. "and that's my little brother Skyler. He's a video game nerd.." She then sighs.
Miles walks over to him and stands beside him. "Hey there.. I'm Miles."
Skyler pushes a button on his game controller and the game pauses. He turns his head to look at him.. "Whoa! What happened to your ear??!" This makes him turn his body towards Miles. "And you have a scratch mark over your eye!"
"Heh heh.. it's a.. long story. But.. you don't have a problem with me looking like this, do you..?"
"Nuh-uh." He said, shaking his head side to side. "It actually looks kind of cool. Like you got into a big fight." He then smiles.
"Really? Yes! Well.. it wasn't a fight..."
Lilly squeaks. "Then.. what was it?"
"Where's your room at?" He then looks at the staircase that's on the other side of the room. "Is it upstairs?"
"Really??! You can't tell me that either!" She shouted.
"Yeah, because I don't want to, so I don't need to."
"Your starting to become mysterious." She said with a pout.
"Do I really have to tell you EVERYTHING! Drop it, Lilly, please!" He shouted.
Lilly looks at the green carpet. "No.. I just.. want to know you better, that's all.."
He chuckles nervously. "Oooh, so that's it.. Gah! I'm sorry, I'm just not good with girls 'or maybe it's the getting worked up about the secret thing..'!"
"Well.. you where with a bad one after all. But don't let that get you down.. just keep doing your best." She smiles at him slightly.
"Uh.. yeah! I'll just do that." He smiles. 'Okay, maybe it is the getting mad about my secret coming loose.'
"My bedroom is upstairs if you want to check it out. Come on." She then walks to the stairs as Miles follows.
It's been a while since then but Skyler unpauses his game and continues to play it.
They both walk up the stairs and see a small hallway with four rooms. "The first room, the one that's close to us is the bathroom, then there's Skyler's bedroom, my bedroom, and the last one is my parents bedroom."
They walk into her room as she walks in first and gives him room to walk inside. She has a white vanity that has a big mirror, that has perfumes, ribbons, and some jewelry in front of the mirror. The vanity has a matching white stool that's located in front of it. The vanity and stool is close to the door, beyond that is a closet, beside that is a wooden box that is filled with stuffed animals. Her bed is close to the box and on the other side of the bed is a nightstand with a small lamp on top, next to that is a window. Lilly walks over to her bed and sits on it. "What do you think?"
"Well, this is the first time that I ever saw a girl's bedroom.. Since you got a vanity and other female stuff, I can see that your really girly."
She tilts her head to the side in confusion. "Is that a bad thing..?"
"No, it's just, I now know what kind of girl your like. Some girls are really girly, some are tomboys and there's others too. It's really nice to know more about you." He then smiles but frowns. "But.. I sadly can't stay long." He then senses something and his pupils grow small but return back to normal. "I knew it.." He muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" She asked.
"Nothing! It's just.. uhh.. I don't like it but I have to go.." He said in a sad tone.
"HUH?! But why?" She then realizes that the sun is setting as she looks at her window. "You have to leave during a sunset.. again??"
"Sorry.. But we'll just pick this up later on the next day. Bye!" The orange stripped hamster then zooms out of her bedroom and down the stairs. The white hamster gets up from her bed. "Miles!"
He runs to the living room and into the kitchen as Lilly runs down the stairs. "Can't this wait?!"
"It can't but I want it to!" He then opens the door and goes outside, being in too much of a hurry to close it. She follows him outside as she sees Miles, heading for the forest but before he's able to run through it, he suddenly stops and starts screaming in pain as something unbelieveable happens..
The half moon glows brightly in the sky as Miles keeps screaming in pain as loud crackling sounds go along with it. "M-Miles..?"
She slowly walks over to him after getting off the porch's staircase. His body slowly starts to get bigger and bigger, his ears shape into triangles, becoming pointed on the top, his dark brown colored tail grows longer and longer as the same shade of brown fur on his body sprouts on his long tail. As Lilly walks closer to him, she sees how is tail is becoming different and it scares her. "M-Miles! W-What's happening to you! Please tell me!" The upper part of his front paws stretch into small legs, the upper part of his feet becomes small legs, his paws and his feet grow small black claws, a black ring forms around both of his eyes, a snout forms from his small mouth as sharp canines grow out of his top and bottom mouth, his little black nose gets bigger and becomes a canines', two long sharp canines appear on the sides of his top and bottom mouth, his pink tongue grows longer and flops over to the one side of his canine mouth. With this painful transformation complete, he stops screaming and pants in a deep voice, his now moveable ears perk up and then flatten. He quickly turns around at her and growls as loud and as rough as it was before, but he bares his canines with his tongue now inside his mouth. "I-Is this w-why you l-leave during a s-sunset..?" She stands there, too scared to move, her whole body shakes with fear. Miles walks slowly to her, still growling and still baring. He then opens his mouth and jumps at her. "AHHHHHHH!!!" She screams and quickly runs away back home, not knowing that he didn't hurt her. Lilly then slams the door and leans her back against it, panting heavy. Her bother hears the slam and runs to the kitchen. "Why did you sla- Lilly? Are you.. okay?!" He then runs to her. "What happened??!"
"S-Something.. happened to Miles... I was following him.. and then.. All of a sudden ..he started screaming! I think he was.. in a lot of pain.. but I don't know why! And then his body starts to change! Now he's some kind of wolf and he's growling and has these scary looking teeth! I-I couldn't move at first but then I quickly ran back home as if my life was on the line!! I just don't know what went wrong!" She then cries and her body slides down until she's sitting.
The small wolf runs as fast as he can through the dark forest as a moon's light follows him with his ears flattened, feeling scared and angry. His long brown fluffy tail is tucked between his now hind legs, showing his feelings. He had no choice but to do that to her.. He had to do something to get her away from him! So he went a little wild to scare her off but.. what if it made things worse for her??! And if things are worse for her.. then.. he'll feel really awful about what he did. He hated how she had to keep following him and his transformation becoming earlier than he sensed didn't help either..
Lilly lays on her bed with her lamp on, scared, worried, and mad. Scared about what she experienced earlier. Worried about how Miles is doing and what the heck happened to him. Mad at how he didn't tell her or warn her about what actually does happen during the night, after the sun is done shining for the day. He told her that he does stuff during that time instead.. Stuff?! Yeah, strange, nervous and scary stuff! In a way she wanted to give him and piece of her mind but.. in another way she's too scared right now to even approach him.. She doesn't know what to do about this but she knows one thing.. that she is in too much shock to sleep. Maybe in a few hours she'll be tired enough to.. or maybe she won't be able to sleep at all.. Ouch! After Miles became.. a wolf or.. something, he acted like he was the exact opposite of how he usually is. He's usually gentle, kind, yeah he can lie.. yeah he likes to change the subject... and he does have moments when he's mad but..that was like how a wild animal acts! ("You better get away from him if you know what's best for you! He's not a normal hamster, young lady! He's in fact a Wolf Hamster, a species that is half wolf and half hamster..") A Wolf Hamster.. Was that hunter really telling the truth??!! Does Miles already knows what he is??! Even so.. he's really friendly to her, he does strange stuff though but he's still friendly and he's nice to Skyler too. How can something that sounds terrible be so nice?
Soon the small wolf creature finds a clear lake as the half moon lits a part of it. He walks over to the lake to where the moon's light is lighting it, he lowers his head and takes a few licks. He stops and lift's his head and sees his reflection. He flattens his ears once more. Why did he have to become this way?? He doesn't want this! He never asked for anything like this! Like he told Lilly earlier, he wants to be normal! He had to be this Wolf Hamster creature, it all makes sense. She told him earlier that The Hunter said that when someone becomes a Wolf Hamster then that someone will be one for the rest of their life.. A whine comes out of his mouth. Miles is afraid and hates this sad truth but he has to grow up and try to live his life as best as he can despite being half wolf. Those thoughts run through his mind, in this state he usual thinks. He can't talk to hamsters because they aren't able to understand him. Though he can bark, howl, whine, and make other wolf sounds to hamsters but that always scares them, at least when he tried asking for help after gaining some confidence. He doesn't like this side of him and he's scared of it too.. especially when he needs to hunt. Miles' stomach growls but he's too depressed to eat.. He wishes that he didn't go into the woods that night, then he wouldn't have been attacked and wouldn't end up being like this. He knew he saw a big creature that night and after that night, his whole life turned upside down.. He had to leave his whole normal life behind because of that creature.. that stupid creature.. Why did it have to bite and scratch him??! He growls at the thought but then stops. The lonely wolf-ish hamster wants to be with her again.. Lilly.. but he knows that he can't approach her like this, especially since he scared her a lot.. He whines again in his wolf-ish voice, even though he wants to see her, at the same time he's afraid of seeing her... He can't bare to see her again, not tomorrow, not even the next day! He will be too scared.. and too nervous if he ever saw her face again he would run away and hide in his comfort zone, the forest...
It's been a week since that night.. when Lilly learned the truth about why Miles leaves during the setting sun. After five days went by, Lilly decides to sit on her porch and wait for him, before she usually kept herself in her room if she didn't have to do anything for her little brother. But now she waits, he didn't come yesterday and it doesn't look like he's going to come today.. Miles didn't come and ring their door bell like she thought he would, if he did, she wouldn't want to answer it.. and would get her brother to do it instead. Even though she's both still mad and afraid at him for what happened that night. She still misses him and wonders if she is ever going to see him again.. The white hamster wonders where he is now and when he will show up. The sun shines brightly in the sky, as if it's happy but her mood definitely, doesn't match, it's more like a gloomy rainy day as she sits on the porch.. Skyler comes out of the house as the door opens and shuts it behind him. "It's no use to keep waiting for him, it seems to me like he's never gonna come.." Said her brother, feeling sorry for his sister. With Miles being a wolf or a wolf like creature, Skyler won't be comfortable with him around anymore.. in fact he'll most likely stay in his bedroom until he left.
"I guess your right.. I just miss him.. he's a good guy and I want to be around him still but I'm mad at him too. How could he make something up just to hide what was really going on?!! But I still.. want to wait for him."
It's quiet for a moment until Skyler breaks the silence.
"Maybe you can.. uhh... I-I don't know.. maybe... look for him instead of waiting?" Said Skyler nervously.
She pauses for a few minutes, stands up and shouts. "YEAH! I will go look for him and when I find him, I'm going to give him a piece of MY MIND!! And what will happen next will determine if I want to make peace with him or war!"
This burst of anger freaks her little brother but realizes why she's like that.
"Uhh.. I b-better get going.. I d-don't wanna miss the bus.." He said nervously.
"Oh! Yeah, go ahead!" She replied with a cool head.
Skyler smiles and then runs to the bus stop, while Lilly walks to the forest.
In the forest she shouts Miles' name over and over again. She shouts with a cool head, despite being mad at him. 'Maybe it wasn't his fault.. If it is then I'm getting mad at him for nothing but why couldn't he just tell me.. I don't think I would believe him though...' She sighs.
She keeps looking and looking and keeps calling for him but still no luck. Being tired from all the looking and shouting she sits down on the grassy ground. 'Maybe he doesn't want to be found.. This is what I get for getting mad at him I suppose...' Not wanting to be the only one with her brother anymore, she really wants to find Miles. She's happy with him and he's interesting to her, and he's a boy who looks like he's around her age! With Miles being added, it makes her life better. She suddenly gets really tired as her eyes become droopy. Lilly makes a big yawn, decides to lay on the grass and she soon falls asleep.
"Wow! What a great story! Is it real??!" Said a small feminine hamster.
"No.. it's not. But some say that it is!" Said an old masculine hamster.
She gasps in excitement. "I hope it's real, grandpa!"
He laughs. "I hope so too!"
The white hamster slowly opens her eyes in the darkness. "I must have fallen asleep.. " She sits up and sees that the sun's light isn't shinning anymore. "HUH??! How long was I asleep??!"
She stands up and starts walking but she's not able to see.. and trips on a tree's root on the grass. "Oww!" And lands on her stomach. "Without the sun or a flash light, it's useless to walk around here.. First I can't find Miles and now I can't find my way back home.."
Just then.. the area of the forest that Lilly is in lights up in a pale white light. She gets up and looks up to the sky and sees part of the moon through the top of the trees. "Yes! Now I can see where I'm going! But.. how do I find Miles..?"
Suddenly she hears feet moving amongst the grass.. She looks all around her but she can't figure out where it's coming from. Just then she notices that the sound is in front of her! She gulps but tries to prepare herself for who's feet is coming towards her. There.. in the moonlight.. stands a big wolf like creature that is similar to what Miles turned into! Except.. he has gray fur that aligns at his nose and down to the sides of his head as it goes down to his forelegs and stops at his dark gray legs. The rest of his fur however is white. It looks at her with it's yellow eyes that also has a black lining around them.
