Chapter 1: How my adventure began!

Ever since I was 14, I always wanted to explore the world around me and infront of me since I found it so facinating and large. My mother told me that she respected anything I did and my choices in life, but I never would have guessed it that 7 years later I would be waving to my mom, bro and sis as the ship I'm sailing on starts to leave the port and can't stop looking back and neither can some of the passengers

Now, you see... I saw this little commercial on tv that said it could improve my survival skills and it seemed to be a program of survival experts (I guess) saying that they could teach us about survival in about a month and I decided why not give it a try and find out if it's good as it says on tv.

So here I am walking to the Deck of the ship, since the captin told us to start going there for as their's an announcement about to happen, a gray cat with ripped jeans and a rippend balck shirt with saging pants starts comes up to the deck in front of us and has a microphone.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to the survival training program. I am your inspector, Chris, I will be checking how you do in each class to see if you do it right or if you need assistance.

People start to mummble and it's quite easy what their saying, one girl is talking about how weak Chris looks and another girls say he looks cute. While a guy says that he would be able to flip him over into the water if he wanted to, basically as I grew up I learnt the hard way not to judge people by their apperance since I could remember one kid in my class get beat up by a guy 3 inches smaller than him.

Chris talks again," Okay, as all of you know it will take a month as promised to be able to learn all you need to know about training, but before we get to the training we will do role call to see if everyone has joined us."

I would actually PITY the fool who would or have forgotten to come, because they sent us mail, message, and emailed us the details of what we needed and what time we should be there. Like really, REALLY I would pity a fool who didn't get it or didn't bother to get their lazy asses to come, which is why I ask why would you bother to come here in the first place or even sign up if you didn't want to? I came up with one answer, dumbass. Chris starts to call out the names after he's started to pronounce them right, I guess since he looked troubled before.

" Okay, Damorin?" " Here!" " Shanike?" " Here!" " Umm... Shadow?" " Present." As I here his name, I think who would name their own son what everyone has and can't get rid of, I bet the same would go for why he's here. I look for him but I don't know where the voice came from so I just scoot back into the line and listen for my name, " Canwet?" "Yes!" Really? That out of Shadow is even worse and I should know because my name is more likely to sound normal... " Sonic?" " Ready!"
A lot of people start to look at me and I look back at them like ' Who the hell are you looking at? I'm brave!' But they all stop looking at me soon and I have to admit that everyone here looks pretty plain and nervous.

I can't blame them, this morning I was so nervous that I couldn't hold my spoon still as I was eating my cereal. I soon learned to eat fast and get it over with but I'm still nervous now and keep tapping my foot on the ground like I have somewhere to be, as I look around someone (A mouse) gives me a piece of paper. When I look at it it's a schedule for eacch day of two weeks, as Chris is finished calling names, which soundes like 22 people he countinues.

" Now you may have a schedule in your hand if you were counted, if you didn't get it you might have not heard me or you are not here, since I have five papers leftover." Two hedgehogs get their papers but three are left which means 19 are hear, to me that's not good that's kinda odd. " Anyways, these schedules will guild you for the next two weeks on this ship for as you will go to class and learn survival measures for the first stage." I thought we would be in the wild not in school. " Any questions?"

" How many stages will we be going through?" Someone in the crowd ask and I don't even want to look back since I'm afraid I'll get people staring at me again like I'm bacon haging from a string." You will go thrugh 4 stages, each stage will be in each section of the person." " What are they?" " You'll find out soon enough, now everyone please go to the board and take the key your name is next with your roommates." " How many roommates do we have?" " 4."

Now that does not sound good, I mean I can handle sleepig with two people or one person but 3 more people? I bet I'll be clasterphobic at the end of the weeks, I hurry and rush for the board and my speed saves the trouble of getting crushed by everyone else. As I go up to the boared and look for my name, I see it and try to grab the keys until someone else does, so I turn around to see who it is and it's a hedgehog the same height as me with black fur and red streaks along with red ruby eyes.

" Hey, what are you doing?" " We both share the same room, see." He points toward the board and his name, " Shadow?" I said and as I look back at him I find out he left and I follow him out the crowd towards our room.
