Hunters Eye

Chapter One: Enter the hunt….

It was to dark, well to dark for 'Him' anyway. My eyes could just as well be the fire that guided me here to this Island. 20/20 vision gave me time to seek and track my prey in the deepest of shadows.

His red fur would look good on my mantel, the supposed last of his kind. So after this will they be no more; those of claws and unique red fur? But I can't change my mind now. He's so close I can smell him…my claws ready to skin his flesh and shatter his bone. But why do I do it? I'm a hunter…I can wait. Give him the last bits of time he'll ever have alive. Morning will be my time to shine, no pun intended.

It doesn't matter…I've already been abandoned.

…I notched my Bow…

I know someone's here. I can't see him, but I could smell him, his fear, and his dought. What was he waiting for? Maybe he too knew of the sacred ground we both rested on. Or maybe it was the Master Emerald he was really after.

Why hasn't he made a move?

It's been hours, it's nearly morning. I'm so tired…but maybe that's what he's waiting for! Just waiting for me to put my guard down so he could get to my Emerald, well I wont let him! Not taking it anymore I stood up from my resting spot before the emerald, wiping the sleep from my eyes.

I wondered away from the shrine into a more open area. Better for a fight.

"What are you waiting for? Come out here and face me!"

I was openly threatening him, or maybe it was a her, now. It didn't matter; no one was going to bypass me.

…A sound! From behind?

"Rogue?"

Why did I just say that? Old habit maybe? I turned, but I'm afraid it was a wrong move. The beaming early morning sun was against me today. It's blinding light shone into my eyes. I went blind for a moment, but sadly it was enough. Yet to my stalkers disappointment, not deaf.

I heard the faint click and the fleeting rush of air; something was heading in my direction. And it was coming at me fast, real fast. I managed to dodge, but it was futile seeing as it worked in 'His' favor.

…Damn his speed! He'd readied another arrow before I even touched ground. The Damn thing struck me! I felt the hot rush of blood, but the point of penetration itself was inevident. The arrows head had pierced the flesh so cleanly, I couldn't tell.

My sight back for only a moment enough to witness the sight of my executioner. My retaliation was to slow, for the next moment I lost all feel in my arms and legs. I only felt a burning sensation at the back of my neck. A hot stream pouring downwards. I could smell the blood. My blood. I moved my lips to speak but no words were heard. On my knees I prayed this would end fast. My world went black….

"…I'm sorry…"

Me: Yay! My first sonic fic..ever! I hope ya like. Send back some feedback so I can make the next chapter better, and hopefully longer. Till then, see ya.
