Snow was gently blanketing the surface of the city; lights were dimly shining through the windows and the stars were very visible. A tall apartment building with many stories sprawled high into the sky. Each room had a balcony, most covered in a big puff of snow; the only one that wasn't like that was the one of a lime green hedgehog's. Her garden was more like a forest, and it seemed like there wasn't an effect at all from the snow. Inside the apartment, belongings of the hedgehog were neatly tucked in cardboard boxes and stacked up one another.
"It must be close to Christmas," Leaf giggled, "I mustn't forget my pair of ice skates, although I admit I am a bit clumsy." The lime green hedgehog walked in her closet and pulled out white skates, looking rather aged but still had a little shine on it. "It would be nice to skate with Silver, just the two of us together…but I always fall on my bottom." Leaf coughed at her memories of her past, being a tiny hedgehog and slipping every time she got up.
Being by herself wasn't really much fun, especially because all her friends lived in different parts of the world. It was around eight at night, and the days were really short so it was pitch black outside.
Leaf helped herself to some pasta and later relaxed by her television set with an ice cream float. "I can't bring EVERYTHING to the new place…I mean…I think I'm a bother enough that I'm moving in. What do I do? Just get rid of all this stuff?" Leaf stuck out her lower lip as she sunk into her leather chair.
The green hedgehog found herself asleep for a few hours.
A short, red hedgehog walked next to her, both wearing backpacks. They were both very young indeed. Leaf was playing soccer with a rock, until Flame poked right in the rib.
"LOOK OUT!"
A brick wall faced the both of them, and something seemed different. A shadow built up, revealing a tall, skinny, and grotesque figure, was appearing. The thing had short hair, large ears, and a tail, which was what only Leaf could make out. It blinked its blood red eyes at her.
"I have finally found you…Leaf…and now you will pay for what your mother and all the other first generation Guardians have done!" the shadow spoke harshly.
The shadow somehow drew out magenta claws and aimed at Leaf's heart. Leaf was
only quick enough to turn, but it was too late. Purple claws sunk into the hedgehog's fur, giving a feeling of fire and ice, penetrating in her tissues. The green hedgehog let out a horrific scream, and the shadow disappeared.
"Leaf!" The red sibling hedgehog came to her side. "You're going to be okay, just listen to me!"
Blood was dripping down Leaf's arm and staining her school uniform; the four-clawed scar gave an ominous purple glow.
"Oh no!" Leaf panicked as she waved her hair away from her right shoulder."What if Silver sees this? My curse…this is bad…" the green hedgehog sobbed for about five minutes, until a light bulb over her head turned on.
"Wait…Silver…he panicked during his birthday party…that must mean that he must've seen something also…and that would put us on the same level…" a sigh of relief came from her.
Leaf packed the rest of her things and was ready to move away from her apartment…forever…
