Trick and Capture, Chapter 1
(Hey there! This is my first story, please enjoy, and lots of reviews!)
Sonic slowly opened his eyes. He felt excruciating pain shoot into his legs and arms. He looked down and realized why; he was chained to the wall. "Where am I? What am I doing here?" he mumbled sleepily.
"He he he" A chuckling sound came from the shadows behind him. The noise seemed to bounce off the walls and come at him from all angles.
Sonic focused his eyes, trying to see the owner of the sound. "Who are you?!" He demanded, his eyes searching the tiny room. "You can't hide from me forever!" Sonic snarled.
When no other sound would reach his ears, he sighed impatiently. "Fine! Stay out of sight! See if I care. I happen to like being here, all by my self. What I would really hate is if you were blasting music in my ears!" He lied, hoping he would at least get a response.
Still, there was silence.
Sonic groaned and tried one more time. "At least you didn't take away my shoe, cuz I have things in there that would help me escape and get AWAY!!!" Sonic screamed at the wall. Although having his shoes taken away would have been bad because he couldn't run very fast without protection for his feet, there wasn't really anything inside of them.
Sonic waited. Nothing. He growled in anger. Before he could lie some more, behind him came another low chuckle, like the first.
Sonic whipped his head around. "Who are you? Come out here so I can look at you! Why are you hiding?!"
The chuckle grew louder, "But I have nothing to hide" Eggman said as he came out from the shadows. He moved so he stood right in front of Sonic, still chuckling.
As soon as Sonic looked at him, he smiled; not an evil smile but a smile two friends would share. "You know, you say that block-headed echidna friend of yours is thickheaded and gets tricked easily, but you!" Eggman stopped and doubled over in laughter.
Sonic glared at him, "What are you talking about?!"
Eggman stood up; his shoulders still shaking, and a huge smile on his face. "And you just gave me 8 emeralds! The 7 Chaos emeralds and the Master Emerald." he added when he saw the puzzled look on Sonics face.
Sonic looked at a loss for words, the expression on his face wouldn't of been more shocked if Eggman had said they were long lost brothers. "But You said y-you changed!"
Eggman looked fiendishly pleased. "I lied."
The surprise on Sonic's face turned to anger. "You little lying—when I get my hands on you!" He growled.
Eggman laughed, a loud booming sound that bounced off the walls, "What are you going to do? If I remember correctly, your'e chained to a wall, and I have the emeralds! But if you behave, I MIGHT let you live, but you must be good."
"You sick, sadistic, psycho, loser of a—" Sonic snarled.
Eggman smiled sweetly as if Sonic had just called him his best friend, "Didn't anyone ever teach you any manners? Oh wait, I forgot, even your parents didn't want you! Silly me! And always remember you idiot, I could have killed you at any time, but I haven't, yet"
Sonic growled, showing off his sharp yellow-white teeth.
Eggman quickly moved his right hand out of biting range. By all means, he was NOT afraid of Sonic, but he had learned the hard( and painful) way Sonic was a deadly fighter when provoked.
"Oh well", Eggman said as he turned away and pressed a button on the wall. "I guess I will just have to teach you a few manners. After all, youv'e been in my house for quite a while and I haven't been able to show you my hospitality"
Sonic rolled his eyes. "Over my dead body!" He coated his words in poison and spat them at Eggman.
"Funny you should mention that, because that's just what I had in mind."
Sonic's eyeridges raised in confusion. "I beg your pardon?" He said slowly, as if speaking to a moron.
Eggman smirked. "Yes. You see, your friends aren't coming to save you. You are all alone.
Sonic rolled his eyes, Eggman could be so dense sometimes! "Dont you know anything, you moron? Tails will come! I know that."
Eggman turned away. My dear Sonic! That is where you are wrong. Like always." He added under his breath and then started to leave. "Oh well, you will be finding this out for yourself soon. Maybe in a few months, when you are still here, and no one has come to save you—not even start to wonder where you are—youll find everything I said was right."
Sonic narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "And you know this how? How do you know that they not going to wonder where I am? That they won't wonder where I went and they won't trace it to you and go look for me and find me here? Tell me how you know this, you dumb, dirty rotten, sick" His fury blinded him and cut off his words. He shook the chains as hard as he could, fire burning in his emerald green eyes.
Eggman waited for Sonic to calm down before he reached out and took Sonic's chin in his hands (while keeping them out of biting range). When they were eye to eye, he spoke softly, I know, because they think you're dead."
