Chapter One: Dreaming a Life
"I wonder what would happen if the sky wasn't blue. Or the grass wasn't green. What if there was no such thing as stars and all the people that used to look up at those stars, would they still think that there is more to life than just running from the one person everyone fears and hates at the same time?"
"Sonic."
"Why should we have to wonder why then?"
"Sonic?"
"It just pisses me off that we-"
"SONIC!"
"Huh?"
"Are you even paying attention to the lesson?" Sonics' teacher Mrs. Rusnok replied with a glare.
"Guess not" Sonic replied nonchalantly until he saw her face, "sorry."
She sighed and continued. "Would you please read the poem you have come up with to the class?"
Reluctantly, he went up to the front of his run down classroom that he and many of the other younger freedom fighters were forced to go to school in. Not that he or any of the students blamed the adults for forcing them to go to school, it was more the fact that they had to learn in such a shitty environment. Paint was peeling and the windows were covered in moss and many other unidentified plants.
Sonic cleared his throat reading the crumpled up piece of paper in his hands.
"Of all the wonders I have ever heard-
It seems, to me, most strange-
That MAN should fear
Seeing that death, a necessary end-
Will come when it will come
When beggars die, there is
No comic scene."
Sonic looked around and the class snapped their fingers in approval, even though half of them might not understand the entire thing. Mrs. Rusnok was about to ask a question when-
RING! RING!
"Saved by the bell" Sonic thought and raced out the door before his teacher could ask him to elaborate on his poem. He didn't really like sharing things that only seemed to get him in trouble.
Knothole Village, that's where they lived, was hidden from the sight with all the trees of the forest, which made it a perfect place to live during the war. Everyone had their own cabin to live. There was a common ground where people would fly the Mobius flag. A small creek flowed through the center. During the summer dandelions would grow on the edge and welcome the bees to help pollinate them.
Although everyone lived peacefully now, before, the Mobians lived in fear not so long ago. Back then families were broken up; Parents, siblings, Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles, more specifically Sonic, Manic, and Sonia's Uncle Charles were brought to Robotropolis and were roboticized. Whatever was left of a family would try to stick together but those that had no one but themselves, like Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Sally, Shadow, and of course the three twin hedgehogs decided to stay a team together.
This is my first story/chapter ever. All critics are welcome. Thanks.
