Me: Ok, this is gonna start my Sonic fanfic! (omg, that rhymes! 0o) I don't own anything except for Jade and her dead family… and a few characters later on…. Enjoy, peeps! ^^

In the hallway of a mansion ran a white female hedgehog and a young, purple female hedgehog. The white hedgehog had a face that read nothing but terror and fear for her only child that was alive.

"Mama, what are we running from? What's going on?" asked the purple hedgehog. She looked like she was about the age of 14.

"We're running from you uncle. He did something horrible." the mother replied.

"What did he do, Mom?" asked the young teenager.

"He killed your father." The mother was very close to tears as she remembered what her husband had said while he was dying.

"What?" replied the girl. "But, they're brothers! Why would Uncle Paul kill Papa?"

"I don't know, but he wants to kill us, too." The mother hedgehog suddenly stopped. "Jade, I want you to hide."

"But, Mom-" started Jade.

"Jade, please. Just go and find a place to hide! I'll come and find you as soon as I grab a few things."

Jade paused. "Ok, Mom." She looked around. 'That's my bedroom!' she thought. Jade walked over to the wall next to her bedroom door. She pressed one of the stones and the wall opened. Jade ran inside the wall and the secret passage way closed.

The young hedgehog walked around the passages. "It's been so long. I haven't been in here since Melody died." She whispered. Jade then saw something on the ground. She picked it up a noticed it was a hedgehog doll. It was in a country outfit. "Sara's doll…" A single tear drop fell onto the doll's dirty, fake hair. She held the doll in her hands as she walked through many different passages. Soon, she came to a mirror and she watched something horrible.

Her mother was getting something from the dresser drawers in her bedroom. She suddenly turned around and hissed, "Paul, what do you want?"

"Nothing much, except your death, my sister-in-law." Jade saw her evil uncle step into the opened door. "Where's your little demon of a daughter?"

"She's not here."

"If she's not here, then where is she, Sapphire?" growled Paul.

"I don't know and even if I did, you'd be dead before I tell you." Sapphire said with a hostile tone in her voice.

"Is that any way to treat your husband's only brother?" Paul smirked.

"You're nothing but a traitor to not only me, but Zeke!" Sapphire was reaching for a sword that was close by.

"You and your little demon killed my only son!" Paul's smirk quickly went away and only hatred sat on his face.

"It wasn't mine nor Jade's fault. He saved us." The white hedgehog tried to get the truth through to Paul, but it didn't work.

"It was your fault! If Jade weren't born, Link would be alive right now!" Paul then attacked Sapphire with his sword, but she quickly picked up the sword she had reached for and blocked the attack in time.

"DIE, YOU SHE-DEVIL!" Paul screamed.

The sword fight lasted a good 20 minutes and both of the hedgehogs weren't giving up. Then, at the same time they both stabbed each other. Paul died quickly while Sapphire was slowly dying.

"MOM!" Jade screamed. She very quickly looked for a way out of the secret passage ways. By luck, her foot stepped on a floorboard and the mirror turned. She ran out of it and toward her mother, dropping the doll. She knelt beside her. "Mom, please. Don't go yet. If you die, I won't have any family left!" Tears streamed down Jade's face.

"That's not true. You have three cousins. I want you to go find at least one of them." Sapphire said to her daughter.

"But, who are they? How will I know who they are?" Jade asked. She wondered why her mother hadn't told her this before.

"Their names are Sonic, Sonia, and Manic. Sonic is a blue hedgehog, Sonia is a purple hedgehog- lighter than you-, and Manic is a dark green hedgehog. Sonic can run very fast and Sonia can twirl fast. I'll watch over you, dear." Sapphire then closed her eyes and soon stopped breathing.

Jade buried her face in her mother's shoulder. "Bye, Mom. I love you." She whispered. She then got up and whipped the tears away. She walked back to her sister's doll and picked it up.

I then woke up from my dream with tears pouring down my face. I took out Melody's doll and hugged it. It had been nearly six months since I saw my mother die. I began to lose hope of ever finding any of my cousins. I got up and packed the things I brought with me from my old home. I placed the backpack on my back began walking toward the closest city. The city's name was New Mobotropolis. I was planning to stay in this city and look for any traces of Sonic, Sonia, or Manic.

As soon as I had entered New Mobotropolis, chaos began. I placed my bag down and looked around. I quickly found who was creating all this insanity.

"Hello, New Mobotropolis! I'm back to create my empire!" said a very round man with a mustache.

I ran over to him. "Yo, bad guy! What are you doing?" I yelled.

The round guy looked at me. "And, who might you be, miss?"

"The name's Jade the Hedgehog. If you don't wanna get hurt, I suggest you turn you hover thing around and leave!" I replied.

"Oh, dear! I'm trembling in my boots!" he said, sarcastically.

"Who the heck are you, anyway?" I asked.

"You don't know who I am?"

"Well, duh. That's why I'm asking!"

"My name is Dr. Eggman." He said.

At the mention of his name, I did my best to hold back the laughter. "Eggman? What kind of name is that?" I said with strong hints of laughter.

"It's a very evil kind of name!"

"And, what's so scary about eggs?" I asked, laughing a little.

I could tell he was fuming at my insults. "That's it! You little pest will die!" He then began firing laser at me.

I easily dodged them with my very fast running. This was going to be easy. I jumped and punched his hoverchair, which sent him and his hoverchair flying away. "Leaving so soon?" I shouted at him. I then sighed. "Well, that was fun while it lasted. Now, let's see what I can find…"

Suddenly a blue blur went past me. When it stopped, I could see a blue hedgehog. He looked into his watch thing and said, "Hey, Tails, are ya sure Eggman's here?"

"Yeah, he should be." answered a voice on the watch.

"Well, he isn't."

"That's weird. I could have sworn… I'll check the city's video cameras."

"Well, hurry it up. I ain't got all day!" Well, this guy was impatient.

"I am!" replied the voice. "What the?"

"What's wrong, buddy?"

"A purple female hedgehog defeated him! And, she's pretty fast! Almost as fast as you are, Sonic!"

At that name I ran over there. "What did you say this guy's name was?" I asked the voice, which was a yellow fox.

"The name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." Replied the blue hedgehog.

My heart started to race with excitement. "FINALLY! I FOUND YOU, COUZ!" I shouted. I then hugged him.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing, hugging my Sonic?" I looked over and saw a pink hedgehog. She walked over and gave me a death glare.

I then let go off Sonic. "Umm… Sorry, it's just-"

"I don't want any excuses! You just want to steal my boyfriend!"

"I didn't know you had a girlfriend Sonic! When did you take her on you first date?" I asked.

"Oh, he didn't take me anywhere, yet."

"WHAT? What kind of boyfriend doesn't take his girlfriend out for their first date? You idiot!" I wacked my cousin up side the head.

"What? Amy's not my girlfriend!" he protested. "Who are you, any way?"

"Oh, so you weren't trying to steal him from me?" Amy asked.

"Why would I do that? He's my cousin!" I said.

"WHAT? I'm your cousin?" asked Sonic.

"Yeah, my mom said that." I responded.

"I think your mom lied." Sonic said.

I glared at him. "My mom did NOT lie, you hear me? She wouldn't have lied to me, because those words were her LAST! SHE'S DEAD, MORON! EVEN IF SHE WAS STILL ALIVE, NO ONE TALKS TRASH ABOUT MY MOTHER!" I screamed at him.

"C-Calm down! I-I didn't know!" Sonic said, backing off.

"My name is Jade, by the way." I said, pissed off. I then walked away to a store to buy some soda. It always seemed to calm me down when I was pissed. 'I have no reason to say sorry to him, even if he is my cousin. He talked trash about my mom, and no one does that. No one!' I opened the soda can and drink some of it.

I think something fell off of my neck, but I didn't bother with it. I then walked to the near by forest to sit under some trees. The place looked a lot like the forest near my old home. Sara, Melody, and I always played there. After Sara was killed, me and Melody still played there. I then placed my hand around my neck.

Nothing was there.

My eyes widened and I stood up. "Crap! Where is it? Where'd it go?" I yelled to no one. I frantically looked for it in the grass, but found nothing. "No! I can't lose it!" Tears began to form. "Where's that necklace?" The black and purple necklace was my birthday present from Sara. The last birthday I saw her alive. Tears fell off of my face and hit the soft, dirt ground.

After a while, I gave up. I clutched my head. "I lost it. I promised her I wouldn't lose it." I said, shutting my eyes tight. "Please, forgive me Sara." I whispered.

"What's wrong?" asked a guy.

I opened my eyes and looked at him. His form looked exactly like Sonic's, but I knew it wasn't him. This hedgehog had black fur with a little red mixed in. "Who are you?"

He seemed a bit surprised. "Aren't you going to ask if I'm Sonic?"

"No, you don't look like him." I replied.

"That's a first. At first glance everyone seems to think I'm him." He replied.

"That's kind of hard to believe. And, you have yet to answer my question."

"You haven't answered mine."

"Oh, sorry. What's wrong is I lost my black and purple necklace. My younger sister made it for me," I replied.

"Okay, now I'll answer your question. My name is Shadow the Hedgehog. Couldn't you ask her to make another one?"

I shook my head. "My sister Sara is dead. So are my other sister, Melody, my father, and my mother. The only family I have left are Sonic and his siblings."

"So, I'm guessing you're Faker's cousin." Said Shadow.

"Let me guess. That's a nickname you gave him."

"Yes, it is."

"Why?"

"That's a long story. In short, he can go as fast as me." Shadow replied. "You haven't even told me your name."

"Sorry again. My name's Jade." I replied.

"Also, is this the necklace you were crying about?" he asked. Shadow then pulled out a black and purple necklace.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!" I said, taking the necklace from him.

"By the way, don't tell the Faker you saw me." He said, starting to leave.

"Why not?"

"Because, knowing him and his friends, they all think I'm dead. I don't want them trying to look for me."

"Oh, I get it. No problem, I won't." After Shadow left, I got up and ran back to town. As I was running, I whipped the dried tears away.

'Mom, I found him and made some friends.'

Me: Ta-da! Hope ya'll liked it! =D See ya next chapter! ^^
