I know that it's not a very good idea to try to work on more than one story at a time, but I'm doing it anyway. So here we go with Dark Secrets.
Sonic the Hedgehog. What do you think of when you hear that name? Bravery? Cunning? Kind? Yes, the Sonic we love has all those qualities, but what if the Sonic we all love had… other qualities. Other ways of doing things. Another… life.
Everything was dark. He couldn't see. All he knew was that the bad guys that had taken away everything, had to be stopped. They would pay for killing his parents and imprisoning him here. That was when the cell door opened and in the doctors came. They attempted to grab the cobalt hedgehog but his razor sharp quills said otherwise. One of the doctors however got the needle to pierce his skin and he fell to the floor immediately. He could no longer move. Whatever they had given him was very effective, and seeing as the being before them could not move, the doctors brought him to a new area with a chamber in the middle. The chamber had tons of tube and wiring coming out of the top. There was a door that the hedgehog was shoved through and then slammed.
"What is this place?" He thought. "What are they gonna do to me?" He was just starting to get feeling back to feeling back to his legs when the machine started up. The large tube exactly above him started up and he knew he was going to get hit with whatever was going to come out from the top.
That's when he felt it, it wasn't at all the feeling he got when his mom had taught him how to use the chaos emeralds with emotions like happiness, in fact, it was exactly the opposite. He felt like tearing something apart. All the happiness he had ever known, washed away in an instant. He felt hatred, anger, and a need to kill. His fur went as dark as the night and his irises and pupils disappeared. The aura around him was sickeningly thick even outside of the glass chamber. The doctors had to cover their faces to try to block out the darkness coming off of the hedgehog. That was when he broke the glass and charged. With all that chaos energy, the doctors were no match for him. He tore their throats out one by one with his hands and threw them to the floor. Then he heard a voice on the intercom, "Good job Maurice. They deserved to die. Hahahaha!
Sonic awoke in a cold sweat. He had been having nightmares like that one, ones where he would thrash around for a couple of weeks now and it was getting much harder to hide them. Tails was a light sleeper, his room was right next to Sonic's, and he had some pretty good ears so he could always tell when Sonic woke up. Tonight was no different. "Sonic? Are you alright?" Tails called from his room. "Yeah little bro, I'm fine, just had a bad dream." Sonic said. Sonic however was not fine and couldn't fall back asleep. Instead, he decided to go for a run. It always cleared his mind and put it at ease.
When Sonic stepped outside the crisp morning air hit him in the face. It felt wonderful. He then took off at extraordinary speeds off to who knew where and loved every bit of it. He had successfully pushed the dream out of his head. That is, until he returned. It was always easy to keep the bad thoughts out when running but coming back, it came back and there was nothing he could do except smile and hope no one noticed.
Smiling always made a good mask, so he used it. That on top of his cocktail attitude, no one suspected a thing. No one knew that he was breaking. He couldn't keep it up much longer. So, as all the sadness and guilt held him down he put up his mask for his little buddy.
"Hey Sonic! How was your run?" Tails asked. "It was nice lil bud and now I think I'm going to take a nap." Sonic replied, not able to keep all the exhaustion out of his voice. "Okay then." Tails said a little dissapointed. He had been wanting to spend some time with his big bro for awhile now. Almost a week, but after his run, all Sonic wanted to do was sleep. Granted he hadn't been getting a whole lot of sleep at night because of what, Tails didn't know. All he knew was that Sonic would sometimes yell in his sleep. It would be things like, "Get away from me!" or "Help!" then it sometimes it would mellow out to "No...No...No…" Tails wanted to help but the blue hedgehog would never tell him anything about his dreams. He would just brush it off with a wave and and smile. The act however was getting less and less convincing as the days dragged on. Then just as Tails was heading inside he heard an ear piercing scream.
"Sonic!"
Tails ran into the house and up the stairs right to Sonic's room where he saw a thrashing blue hedgehog. The chaos emerald that was on his dresser was flashing. It would get dim then super bright with the hedgehogs reactions. "NO!" Sonic scram as he sat bolt upright in his bed. The emerald stopped flashing and went back to its original brightness at that moment and Tails was speechless. He didn't know that Sonic's dreams were affecting the emeralds. That was when Sonic noticed Tails standing in the doorway. He then took off at incredible speeds out the door and into the open space.
