Heys, here's a new story. I have had this for a while, but never had the guts to upload it, hope you like it :D
Prologue
Rain poured down outside the bay window where a ten year old girl sat. Cushions where piled up around her and she was wrapped in a blanket, a teddy bear hugged tightly to her chest. Lightning flashed across the sky, lighting the room for a brief second. The room was coloured with multiple shades of purple, blue and red. A couple of posters stuck on the walls. Near the dresser a white dragon sat perched, sapphire eyes glittering, the name Alex, written below on the pedestal on which it sat. The girl jumped a little on the window seat as lightning struck again, and she laughed nervously at her silliness, her grey blue eyes watching the sky.
'Alex, honey, everything ok in here?' a woman's voice asked, as the door opened and the light got switched on. Alex blinked a few times adjusting to the sudden light change.
'Yes mum,' Alex replied, looking towards her.
'Here, I got a gift for you,' her mother said and handed her a brown papered package, tied with string.
Alex looked up at her then at the package, before carefully trying to open the string. When she couldn't she got off her bed and headed over to her dresser and got a pair silver rounded scissors and continued to try to open it. The string however appeared much tougher than expected.
'Here honey,' her mother said, taking the box from her and expertly removing the string, before handing it back to Alex.
Alex ripped off the rest of the paper, as being careful now seemed pointless and was taking far too long. Within this brown paper was a white box. Alex sighed when she realized that her efforts were becoming fruitless. Once again she tackled the box and opened it to find a small figurine. She took it out and sat it on her dresser and smiled at her mum.
'Thanks mum,' Alex replied.
'Not a bother honey, time to get ready for bed I think,' her mother said leaving her room.
'Alright mum,' Alex replied, and followed her, making her way to the bathroom.
Ten minutes later Alex returned to her bedroom. She made her way to her dresser where the white box and figurine were sitting. The figurine was of Sonic the Hedgehog. Alex examined it wondering why her mother had given her it, then headed over to her bed and switched off the light. Lightning flashed again outside as the storm seemed to rage on without relenting.
'Why did my mum give me this?' Alex still pondered, sighed then shrugged drifting off to sleep.
A few minutes later...
'Where am I?' Alex thought.
Her dream had landed her in the middle of a rather dense looking forest. She stood up shakily from where she was sitting against a tree and began exploring. As she began to walk forward she stepped in a puddle and she sighed, and then shook her foot. She was wearing her boots thankfully, but that wasn't the reason why she stood there for longer than anyone usually would. The person who was peering back at her wasn't a brown haired, grey blue eyed girl, but a pure white, purple tinged anthropomorphic hedgehog, with pyjamas to boot. Alex stood stock still for a while, mulling over in her mind...this is just a dream...this is just a dream...well it would've worked if someone didn't suddenly yell, 'Look Out!'
Alex just had enough time to watch a blue blur from her left slam into her sending her tumbling with said blue blur, which was now a hedgehog which she could now clearly see, to the ground. The blue hedgehog got up and began apologising, over and over again, and helped her up.
'I am so sorry, I didn't see you there, the name's Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog,' he said holding out his hand.
'It's alright, my name's Alex Ri...' her sentence didn't complete itself as she collapsed forward fainting.
...back in Alex's room...
Alex sat up holding the figurine in her hand. She got out of her bed and placed it on the dresser shivering before climbing back into bed in the hope of getting a good night sleep.
