Newfound Hope

Prologue

"AAAAHHH!!!" A sharp yell could be heard. The scream came from a small, dirty, run-down shack in the outskirts of Station Square. A 3-year old, twin-tailed fox released the scream. "No...Please...no more..." Miles pleaded after being burned by a hot iron. "Shut up, you two-tailed freak!" his mother replied. "How could we have given birth to a mutant like him?" His father asked. Miles tried to make a escape into his room, which was only a small stack on dead pine needles, enclosed in a cardboard box. But, his father caught him by one of his tails. "Where do you think you're going?" His father asked with the most threatening look on his face. The young fox was too scared to answer. "Silent..Huh?" His father asked; "Well...we can fix that! Do it now!" His father called to his mother. She went into the other room, and came out with a sharp-pointed knife. "Glad to." She replied. She sliced Miles's chest, and arm several times. Miles tried to run, but his father had a tight grip on him. His fur was saturated with his own blood. Miles had passed out from blood loss. "We'll deal with you tomorrow!" His father called out. They both returned into their room, leaving Miles alone. Miles had regained consciousness, and realized it was morning. "Now maybe my only chance to escape this torment!" Miles thought as he ran into the city.

Chapter 1

Miles walk aimlessly around Station Square. He has been on his own for 6 months now. The ground, trees, and buildings were covered with the snow of December. The ice was hard, and sharp, cutting Miles's feet. His paw prints were red with blood that came from his cuts. No one offered food, or shelter to him. In fact, he was rejected by everyone he came in contact with.

"I really need to find something to eat!" Miles thought to himself. He made his way to Mobius's main park. He found a half-eaten bag of potato chips in a trash can.

"Finally! Some food!" Miles ran towards the can, but some other kid intentionally tripped him. Miles got up, but was to disheartened to get the chips. He ran to a quieter area of the park. Falling to his knees, he started to weep. His hot tears were the only things warming him in the ice cold snow. He looked up to see a nearby restaurant.

"Oh boy! This is one of the best restaurants in Mobius!" Miles said aloud as he entered the restaurant. As he walked in, all eyes were upon him; but, he was too hungry to care.

"Hey! It's that fox thing!" A waiter called out.

"GET HIM!!!" A kid exclaimed as all of the customers charged onto the fox. Miles realized the danger he was in, and ran for his life.

Meanwhile…

Sonic has just exited a beauty shop, with a present for his wife, Amy.

"Finally,,,I got the perfume Amy wanted! Now she'll stop badgering me about getting it!" Sonic called to himself.

"Hey…what's that noise?" Sonic asked himself. Rushes of stampeding, screaming people could be heard, and were coming his way. Sonic turned around to see what was going on. As soon as he turned, he was greeted by a head-on crash by a golden-orange colored fox.

"Hey kid…watch where you're…huh?" Sonic cut his sentence short when he saw what the end result of the crash. A crying, young fox was on the ground, holding his head in pain.

"Hey...kid? Sorry I snapped at ya. I didn't mean to." Sonic aplogized. But, Miles could'nt hear it over his intense crying. He finally looked pu, and backed away from the sapphire hedgehog.

"No...please don't hurt me! I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going!" Miles pleaded.

"No one's gonna..." Sonic was once again cut off by the people catching up with the terrified fox. Miles hid behind Sonic in fear.

"Sonic...move out of the way!" One of the people shouted

"Hey...This kid oviously doesn't like you chasing after him...So stop it!" Sonic commanded.

"Sonic...we're not going to ask you again...MOVE!!! This doesn't involve you!" The guy once again shouted.

"Well...it does when it involves my little brother!" Sonic replied.

"Little brother...?" Miles wondered.

"Play along kid..." Sonic whispered. "So.." Sonic addressing the mob. "Nothing else to do here...just move along." The mob started to break away, and in mere seconds. it became empty, quiet again.

"You okay?" Sonic asked Miles.

"I guess..." Miles muttered in response. "But…why did you do that?"

"It looked like you was in trouble, so I decided to help out." Sonic replied.

"Well...thank you. No one has ever stuck up for me like that. They usually just hit, or insult me; it's been like that for a while now..." Miles explained.

"What?!" Sonic replied in shock. "No one should be treated like that! Do your parents know?"

"They're the reason I ran away..." Miles replied; tears beginning to come to his eyes as he remembered his past.

"Wow...you have a pretty screwed up life, don't you?" Sonic asked. Miles cried harder at Sonic's remark.

"Hey kid...I didn't mean anything by it..." Sonic explained.

"I know..." Miles replied through his tears. "It's just that..." Miles fainted before he could finish his sentence.

"Hey...you okay?!" Sonic asked rushing toward the unconscious fox. No response from Miles. Sonic felt his forehead.

"You're burning with a fever! I better get you to my house!"

So...how was this chapter? Tell me what you think! Please R&R!
