I own none of the Sonic characters, this is my first story so please go easy. Constructive criticism is appreciated. :)
Shadows P.O.V
May 15th
The day I had been dreading all year. Just thinking about that day seemed to tear at my heart.
Pain
It clawed at me with an icy cold grip. What I felt was more than unbearable. It was torture. The events that took place on this day 50 years ago continued to haunt me. I raised my gloved hand to the smooth glass of the window pain.A steady rain fell down upon a few stray citizens carrying umbrellas. I sighed and let my head rest against the window, my face pressed against the glass. I still remember that day the day that her last words echoed through the halls. The words that would haunt my dreams from then on.
Flashback
I panted, my stamina draining as I pulled my companion down the cold gray halls. I felt her clutch my hand tighter as we sped away from the pursuing soldiers. We stopped abruptly in the main emergency escape room. Maria ran over to the control panel and started pushing buttons, while I went over to examine the glass cylinder that would send us to the planet below. The heavy thud of footsteps thudded closer , when I felt two small hands suddenly push me into the glass pod, and heard the swoosh of the hatch closing. I spun around my ruby red eyes wide with alarm. Maria was staring at the lever that would release the pod. The GUN soldiers burst into the room right as Maria placed her hand on the lever.
"Stop or well shoot!" One soldier shouted aiming at her. I kicked and punched and banged on the glass but it wouldn't budge. I saw determination fill her azure eyes and she thrust down the lever.
"Maria NO!" I yelled, tears pricking at the corner of my eyes.
BLAM!
Her blonde hair matted and blue dress ripped, she sank to the floor a red stain forming on her dress. She looked up at me and...smiled. How can she smile when shes in so much pain? How can she smile knowing this is the end. How?
"MARIA!" I yelled banging at the glass till my knuckles bled.
"Shadow, please promise me you'll help the people of earth. Help them be happy and give them a chance to live okay?" She asked me as she reached out towards me gently.
"I promise" I said tears pooling over my cheeks and my body shook with sobs. she was still smiling.
"And Shadow? Smile for me okay?" Her eyes brimmed with sadness and yet they still held joy.
"Sayonara Shadow The Hedgehog" She whispered and closed her eyes.
"NO!" I screamed as I was thrust away from the space colony and into deep space towards the planet below. I tried to tell myself it was all a nightmare. I openly cried as my world shattered around me.
End Flashback
"What are you moping about now Shadow?" a deep feminine voice snapped me from my gruesome thoughts.
"Nothing of your concern, you pompous thief." I said keeping my uninterested expression.
I slowly turned to see Rouge, the only person i could call a close friend. Everyone else was just people I knew. Not friends. She was a former thief (Mostly), who was always flirting with every man she met. She was busty, but at the same time had a perfect slim figure. She had shoulder length white hair, and aqua colored eyes along with a pair of leathery black wings. Her usual cat suite and designer clothes were switched for a skimpy purple nightgown, that revealed a little to much for my liking. Rouge was always like that, always prancing around with her no bullshit attitude and skimpy clothes. But she listened, and was willing to talk to me without making snide comments like that Faker and I was grateful for that.
"Lighten up handsome" she purred and clutched my arm. I shrugged her off. I did care about rouge, but id never had any romantic feelings for her. She frowned.
"How are you the only one immune to my charms? Other men would fall over at the sight of me" she said dramatically.
"I didn't know you had charm Rouge." I countered, making sure to keep my face void of emotion.
"Fine Mr. Sunshine, be that way" she humphed and walked (More like sashayed) gracefully away. I fought the urge to roll my eyes. She would be back to bother me within the hour.I sighed and turned to look at the clock on the wall. 12:34 it read. It was late but if I fell asleep, that same nightmare would come back again. Its as if id never be free of this torment.
Amy's P.O.V
I hummed a happy tune as I gazed at the stars from my roof. I sighed happily and shifted my position on the cold hard shingles. It was cold, cold enough to see my breath, but I didn't mind though. It was somewhere around midnight or so but I wasn't tired. I just stared at the stars. Id always wanted a better view of them. I always seemed to get lost up in space even though people told me I belonged on earth. I always found the twinkling lights in the sky memorizing. Eventually I did begin to get drowsy and decided it was time for bed. After all Sonic was throwing a party tomorrow. I had gotten over him and realized I wasn't in love with him, it was just a silly infatuation. We were friends now and that's all we would ever be, and I was fine with that. I climbed down into a tree next to my house and jumped onto the window sill. my white pajama pant with red hearts on them snagged on a branch a tore a small hole.
"Ah...and these were my favorite!" I sighed and climbed into my window. I snuggled under my red and white covers, and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
That's it for chapter one, so please review. I really need it, I have no idea if this was really good, or completely terrible. So give me some feedback please.
I own nothing but the story line.
