Diane
Chapter 1
She ran.
The trees seemed to be reaching out to grab her and hold her prisoner in their brach-like grasp.
One tree snagged at the child the taller woman was carrying with her. She yelped and tugged her free, resuming her paniced rush.
"Hoo...Hold on my child. Soon we'll be free again." the woman panted, her words seemingly pushing her to run faster
This continued for a while longer, the woman finally stopping at a busy town and disappearing within the thick crowds.
She soon came to a tall house and knocked on the door. "hu...hu...Pornthose! (porn-thos) Please! Open the door! Pornthose!" she cried desperately, holding the child close to her
A male, grayish hedgehog soon answered the woman's plead, a look of suprise upon his face. "Wha- Jane. You're alive! But what about Doctor Robotnik? He has your kingdom enslaved!" he exclaimed
"That he does Pornthose, and I'm afraid I need to go back to defend it. I need you to look after my daughter. She must never know of Kingdom Lyria (leer-eeya) and the horrors of our enslavement." Jane replies handing over the small child
"Will you return? Surely I can't tell a lie to the princess if she is to ask about her heritage. And she has to know about her own mother! Wait...where's Drake?" Pornthose asks, fear etching it's way to his face
"He's...he's gone Pornthose...he had to give his powers to our daughter for protection...he was a great husband and father..." Jane explains, a tear falling down her muzzle. "Please Pornthose, you have to protect my daughter. She's the only one who may be able to release the spell upon our kingdom, and she'll need your guidance. Hopefully I will return, but until then I must go back."
"I will guard her with my life, Queen Janethra Bellsum. I will see you soon." Pornthose promises
"Thank you, my brother." Jane replies, giving the two one last hug before vanishing in the streets once again
"Be safe my sister. Be safe..."
O-O
"Diane please, get down!"
"Hahaha, why? It's so fun up here!"
"My stars woman, you're just as jumpy as your mother..."
"What was that uncle Pornthose?"
"Hm? Oh, nothing Diane. Just please get down before you worry me into a heart attack!"
"Oooohhh...okay..."
A sigh is given before a 14-year-old hedgehog jumps out of a very high tree, showing off a few spins and twirls before landing gracefully in front of her uncle, her long hair flipping in front of her face. "There I'm down. Happy?" she asks
"Yes actually, very happy. Now come inside for lunch." an exhausted-sounding Pornthose answers, rubbing his eyes with his thumb and pointer finger. "I swear Diane, one day you're going to flunk your landing and then you're going to hurt yurself."
"Oh uncle Pornthose, you know I have you to be there for me!" the preppy hedgehog points out, grabbing an apple from the tree she just came down from. "And even if I am alone, I know how to take care of myself, so could you please not baby me so much?"
"Well, I wouldn't have to baby you if you'd stop trying to get yourself hurt, now would I?" is the old hedgehog's answer, snatching a bite of her apple teasingly and then handng it back to her. "And we still have some techniques to cover don't we?"
A groan is the only reply given. "We're still practicing Karate? But you just gave me my black belt yesterday!" the 14-year-old whines, dragging her feet across the ground as the two head back inside
"There's always something to learn, Diane." her uncle reminds her as he sits down in the lush, cream-colored sofa in the livingroom. "Diane...have a seat." he sighs, patting the vacant cushion next to himself.
She silently obeys, resting her head on Pornthose's shoulder and looking into his dimmed, but surely blue eyes.
"I think it's time, we talked about your heritage..." the male continues, hesitant. 'I'm sorry Jane. I need to tell her.' he thinks to himself, before shaking his head and straightening his back, a popping sound being heard. He really needed to exercise more!
So the story began, Diane getting the suprise of her life.
And the story was nothing, compered to what happened that evening...
~To Be Continued
O-O
New story to occupy all you people! yay!
So, I haven't been on for like, 3 weeks cause I got grounded...but I'm back! And with new material!
This is pretty much a fancharacter story, with occasionally some copywrited chars here and there.
Pornthose, Jane, and Diane are all mine, including the story plot. I believe everything else is SEGA's.
Enjoy!
