Name: Esther

Age: 17

Species: Feline

Planet: Unknown

You looked the areas, seeing green grass and trees with their leaves blowing in the wind. What exactly was wind? And why and how did you know it was called that? You looked around, not knowing where you were or even who you were. All you could remember was the word "Esther". Was that your name? "Someone has to know me here. Perhaps I can find someone that does."

With that thought, you ran off, hoping to find anyone that knew who you were and where you were. You saw noone anywhere around, just grass. How long did you have to walk before finding someone? You stopped, catching your breath. You could remember a few things but they were jumbled pieces of something, perhaps memories.

[Memory Piece 1]

"Where have you been?! We've been looking everywhere for you! Get inside, it's almost night time," Said a woman in the form of a feline, with white fur and eyes the shade of red. "I was playing. Lost track of time, I'm sorry." A small child answered her, with a sad expression on her face; the child was a young feline herself, with dark blue eyes. "Well, get inside. Just be in earlier next time, Esther." The woman said, closing the door behind the young feline, who ran inside, happy in just seconds.

[Memory Piece 2]

"No, they're not normal powers, Esther!! Never, ever, use then again! Our powers are dangerous enough, if not controlled properly." Spoke a young, dark brown, male feline, looking at you with angry eyes. Why he was angry was a confused matter to you. "But I don't understand. Just because the power is dark, doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to use it. Its origins are dark, yes, but you can use it for good,' You answered, staring at the male feline; your eyes filled with confusion and anger. "You will understand as you age. You are not like your family members. You're special, so you must make extra precautions when controlling and using your abilities. Certain families have been killed thanks to foolishly using their powers, saying the exact same nonsense you are now. They tried to do the same as you, to fit their powers in with our own, only to have their powers take then over, destroying themselves in time. Is that what you want? I can't bend the rules for you, Esther, you know that. You must learn that there are certain things, even though we possess them, we do not ever use them. So, for now, just be patient."

And with that, he turned to leave, until you spoke, "That's all you have for me?! To be patient?! How can I be patient?! I've been patient for years all ready!!" He didn't even stop to listen. He just kept walking, ignoring you completely. It made you boil inside. "I don't understand. Why am I so different from everyone else?" You spoke to yourself, confused once again; yet, noone wanted to give you the answers you so desired for.

[Memory Piece 3]

Explosions happened around you, as you looked around. In the far center of the chaos, you seen a figure floating, covered by a light purple glow. It looked female but who it was was unknown. The figure looked passed out in mid-air, the glow surrounding her entire body. Whatever was happening was being caused by her, but something wasn't right. Everyone was screaming, not going anywhere near her. The only thing that was being said was "They took her over. Her powers are in control. The one we know is no longer here. We have to stop her or we'll all be killed!"

[End of Memories]

You looked into the distance, seeing creatures talking amongst themselves, laughing as well. Perhaps they could help you? You took off in their direction, hoping they at least knew you.

They shook their heads, not knowing anything about you at all. "Really? None of you know a thing about me? Well, thanks then. I'm sorry I interrupted you guys." You turned away, sad once again, until you heard one of them speak, "Well, we can tell you where you are. You're on a planet called Mobius." You turned to the voice, seeing a blue, male hedgehog. You looked down, "Mobius? I've never heard of it. It doesn't sound familiar at least." He waved it off, "Eh, no worries. So, ya got a name?" You nodded, "Yeah, I think it's Esther. It's one of the only things I can remember." They looked at each other, while a twin-tailed, male fox spoke up, "Well, you can stay with one of us, if you need a place. We won't mind helping you out." You smiled, "Really? Thanks. I really appreciate it." They nodded, as a female, pink hedgehog spoke now, "I think Cream has enough space for you. Her mother wouldn't mind taking you in for a while." You looked around, wondering who was "Cream" out of the group. A small, young, female rabbit walked up to you, taking your hand, "Of course Mother won't care. Cheese is happy, too." You looked down, seeing a small blue creature bouncing around in the air, apparently happy. "Thank you, Cream." You told her, happy for her generosity.

"Well, we're headed to Tails's work shop, if you wanna come along. He might even be able to figure out where you come from. One of his machines should be able to help." Spoke the blue hedgehog, looking at you, smiling with his arms crossed. You nodded, accepting the invitation. "Well, let's go then!" He said, as if ready to depart in milliseconds. And in mere seconds, all he left behind was a trail of dust; a result of his rapid running speed. You stood there, in complete awe of the speed. The female hedgehog came to you, "He's always like that. It can get annoying sometimes, just to warn you. After all, his name's Sonic for a reason." You looked at her, not really understanding the joke, but you nodded anyways, smiling back at her.

[At Tails's Work Shop; Sonic's POV]

"So, buddy? Anything yet?" You asked Tails, seeing him pinpoint an area on a large map on a screen. "Well, I've narrowed it down. She's from a place in this galaxy, it's just super far away from here. I'm not sure when she can go back. I've never heard of these people. All I know is it's name is Ceres. It never mentions the people, their abilities, nothing. Just a name." You shrugged, "Well, it's a start. We can get more as she remembers things with time." Tails then spoke again, "I'm not sure she will remember, ever." You looked at him wide, "Why not?" He pulled down a X-ray, no doubt from Esther. "Her brain hasn't suffered any damage recently, meaning whatever caused her to forget wasn't by blunt force trauma." He spoke, pointing at various places on the sheet of film. You understood it now, "Someone made her forget. Her memory was erased." Tails nodded, "Either that or something of the sort. Whatever caused to her to forget everything made it impossible for her to get those memories back." You shook your head, "Wow, low blow for her. I wonder what would make someone to force her to remember nothing?" Tails shrugged, "That might always be a mystery."

[Your POV]

You seen Sonic come out, not looking too thrilled, making you concerned. "Well, there's good news and bad." You sighed, telling him to just say whatever he was told. "Well, we found what planet you're from, but there's a problem with your memories. They may never return. Someone made that a near impossible goal." You dipped your head down, "Oh, I understand." It was a very unpleasant thing to be told. "Well, there's a slight chance it'd come back, right? Even a slight chance is better than none." He nodded, saying there was but it was a slim one. You smiled a bit, figuring it was better than nothing. "You never know, I could get lucky."

(Message me for a pic of Esther, ok? I hope you liked it. Stay tuned for chapter 2.)
