Chapter 1
Amy stood at the crosswalk. She watched the cars whip by swiftly. It was an early spring morning, and the morning dew on the grass had just evaporated from the lawns.
Every morning was like this, since her parents had left for the year-long business trip in Spagonia, and now that her boyfriend had broken up with her. He didn't deserve her anyway, Rouge had said. He doesn't know what he gave up, Blaze had added. She told herself the same thing, but she couldn't help but feel depressed.
Aaron is a stupid, immature, ass, who never appreciated you in anyway. You never needed him, and you never will.
Amy saw that the cars had stopped. She looked up at the stoplight, and felt confusion fall over her. The light was still green. Why weren't the cars moving?
Some were just starting to turn onto other roads, and others were already under the stoplight. The drivers and passengers of some of the vehicles were still in conversation, but their mouths were frozen.
Amy's gaze swept over the cars. Her mind felt a certain pull to an entrance to the alley across the street. She looked at the alley, and felt her heart go cold.
A black and grey striped hedgehog was leaning against the wall of the alley, staring at her with yellow-green eyes that seemed to pierce her soul. He had a certain aura about him, that made her feel very unsettled. His very gaze made her realize that she was the only one on the sidewalk. But, something about him—she couldn't put a name on it—made her feel…different.
When he realized she was looking at her, he stood up straight and turned to walk down the alley.
She paused. Should she follow? He seemed to be the only one, besides her, that was not frozen in time. Maybe he would know who did this. Or, she realized with a jolt. Maybe he did it. She knew she would have to decide quickly, or he might be gone.
She took a deep breath and gathered her strength. Then, she crossed the street, walking toward the dark alley.
Ok. New story. Don't worry, I promise I'll finish The Rose in the Mist, but I had this idea in my head, so I had to do this.
I got this idea when I was over at my friend's house this morning. I woke up after staying awake until 3am, and was like, "OMG PERFECT!"
Well, hope you like this story as much as you like the other one. :)
