My Cyanide Sun

Chapter 1-

School, What a terrible word. Ainjell was desperately wishing that 3 o' clock bell would ring. She was doodling in her notebook, Little hearts of her and Sonic around. She was in love with the Blue Blur. He may be like…29...She didn't care…She still loved him. Feeling a paper ball hit her, Ainjell turned.

Seeing her friend Ashley, A green echidna with green hair and red eyes. She wore a sky blue tank top with a matching skirt. Ainjell gave her a, "What do you want?" look. Ainjell held up a sheet of paper, "Stop day dreaming." Ainjell rolled her eyes and her ears tweaked at the sound of the bell.

Ainjell shot up out of her seat and caught up with Ashley. They both walked out together.

Ainjell noticed that Ashley had her black leather long gloves on with the red buckle straps and matching boots. She always was the goth-type, She never really wore normal clothes out of the black or gray range…But when she did, She always made sure there was something black mixed in.

"Ainjell, You seriously need to cut the daydreaming!" Ashley shouted. Ainjell gave her a warning glare.

"Ash, I can't help it." She replied.

"Yes you can. You can very well help it. That love you radiate is so darn contagious! Yuck!" She exclaimed. Ainjell rolled her eyes. She then saw her friend Iradisa running towards them. She was more like a sister to her. No one could understand their bond.

"Hey Iradisa." Ainjell greeted. Ashley rolled her eyes. Iradisa stopped in front of the two, panting.

"Hey Ainjell." She greeted with a smile. Iradisa adjusted the straps on her bag and slung it onto her back.

"Class was a drag?" Ainjell asked. Iradisa nodded.

"Damn teacher kept me behind to lecture me on the history of Sonic. I know about Sonic, I don't need to damn get lectured on my style." She said. Ashley just laughed.

"Who was it?" She asked. She glanced at Ashley.

"Mr. Bay." She said. Ashley then rolled her eyes.

"That bitch is like a damn moth to the light." She said. Iradisa nodded. Ainjell smiled. At last they could have a decent conversation. While they discussed the kinds of torture to give the teacher, She opened her locker. Putting her book into locker before closing it. That's when she saw him…

Sonic the Hedgehog…He looked so…Incredible. He wore a tight black shirt that fit him well, And the baggy black jeans. He looked so hot…

"Ainjell?" Iradisa asked.

"Yo! Pinkie!" Ashley shouted. Ainjell then tore her attention away from Sonic.

"Yes?" She asked. Iradisa sighed in relief as Ashley placed her hands on her waist.

"Ainjell, You know the dude is like…30...And you're what? 17?" Ashley said. Ainjell then scoffed.

"So what!" She exclaimed. Iradisa sighed.

"Ainjell…It's nothing but a puppy love crush…" She spoke in a calm tone. Ainjell then grew more mad.

"No it's not! I love him!" She shouted. Iradisa's ears flattened against her head, Her eyes wide with fear. Ainjell felt a tap on the shoulder. Being angry, She turned and punched on contact, Not even looking who she hit. Ashley and Iradisa both gasped.

"Ainjell! Do you know who you just hit?" Iradisa shouted. Ainjell then looked down to find the blue hedgehog getting up from the hit. Ainjell then felt a stab of fear slice her. She reached out to help Sonic up.

"Oh Sonic, I am so sorry!" She exclaimed. Sonic stood up and just smirked at her.

"All is forgiven Ainjell. Don't worry about it. But damn do you have one hell out a right hook there." He said. Ainjell smiled as well, Placing her hand on her chest in relief.

"Call ya later Ainjell." Ashley said as she grabbed Iradisa by the arm, Dragging her off.

"Bye Ainjell!" Iradisa shouted before going along with Ashley. Leaving her and Sonic alone.

"Come on Ainjell. Your mom called me to pick you up." He said. Ainjell then felt her insides crush. He didn't come on his own…She sighed before smiling.

"Okay." She said as she walked off, With Sonic trailing behind.

Halfway to her home, She was thinking about Sonic. She was in love with him…Why can't she just…Come out and say it?

"Sonic?" She asked, Breaking the silence between the two. He looked at her.

"Yes Ainjell?" He asked. She hesitated. He stopped as she did.

"I…" She began. He blinked a few times. "I…I…Sonic…" She said, Feeling herself get confused. He cocked his eyebrow. "Sonic…I…Well…I…I…" She stammered.

"Okay, I's don't really help me understand…" He said. She bit her cheek to calm herself.

"I love you." She finally said. His eyes widened. Her heart pounded in her chest. He remained silent. This was hurting her…She came out and said it…Why wouldn't he just accept her…?

"Ainjell…" He began. Her heart lifted in high hopes.

"Yes Sonic?" She asked.

"I can't be with you…" He said. Then her world just shattered. "Even if it was possible…I can't love you…Because you are…Younger then me." He said. Tears filled her eyes, Her heart breaking apart, She gave in to her anger that grew in her.

"So fucking what? My mama always said that love is the most powerful thing in the world and that nothing could stop it. Even age difference," She yelled as she walked past him and turned to face him, Tears falling down her face in anger and pain. "Guess your pride has frozen your heart completely…" She finished before running off, Leaving Sonic standing there.

Slamming the door shut as she ran in, She ran straight to her room and slammed that door shut too before locking it. She leaned against the door, Her heart slowly hurting her. Tears fell hot and fast down her face and onto her shirt, Causing wet spots on her white tank top.

She then staggered over to her bed and plopped on it. Looking at the plushy of Sonic that Sonic gave to her when she turned 7. She loved him ever since…Now she was here broken because she loved him deeply…She knew the age difference…But her mom always said that if love really counted, It shouldn't matter to neither person.

She heard faint knocking on the door. A jiggle of the handle.

"Ainjell, Sweetie?" Amy's voice spoke through the door. Ainjell gasped before wiping her eyes drier than bone. She hurried over to the door before unlocking it and opening it to see her mom.

"Yes?" She asked. Her mom looked over her a few times.

"Are you alright? You looked upset when you came in." She said. Ainjell nodded.

"Yes, I had a…Bad day at school." She lied. Amy then nodded.

"School is just terrible nowadays. Well. I hope it's nothing serious." She said. Ainjell shook her head.

"Nothing I can't handle." She said. Amy then nodded.

"Okay sweetie. Dinner will be done in an hour." She said before taking off. Ainjell nodded before closing the door gently. Looking over to the plushy, She felt a sadness wash over her again. But she refused to cry this time. She just took the sadness and bottled it up inside.

She just wish her heart didn't feel like delicate glass. Cause then she would always have a broken heart.

At the table, Her dad, Espio sat beside her and Amy. They were eating steak, mashed potatoes, and buttered biscuits. Ainjell slowly ate her potatoes.

"How was school today?" Espio asked with a smile. Ainjell looked up.

"It was fine. A bit of a few rough spots here and there. But. It was okay." She said, Lying.

"That's good. What did you learn about today?" He asked.

"Well, I learned about the different styles of poetry and we wrote one of our own." She said. Amy's face lit up.

"Can we hear it?" She asked. Ainjell blushed before nodding. She got up and went into her room.

Looking for her notebook, She grabbed it before leaving the room.

Returning to the table, She opened up her notebook to her poem. Her parents looking at her eagerly.

"This poem is called Sky Garden," She said as she held up her notebook into reading range.

"I sit here,

Lying in your arms...

Stroking my hair ever so gently,

Looking deep into my eyes...

Whispering how much you love me,

Feeling my heart skip beats every time you say that you love me...

Looking up into the night sky,

Seeing the stars shoot across the sky...

Both of us making a single wish,

That would last us a whole lifetime...

What a beautiful sky garden,

So beautiful in every way...

You agree with the thought,

Like always my love...

You stole my heart the very first time we met,

But I couldn't tell you...Because I was bound by chains from my last relationship...

Although I wanted to break free,

I could not...

Because I did love him,

But not the way I thought he loved me...

I went through a pained heartache,

Just searching for some kind of sanctuary from the world...

Just to hide away my pain,

But I couldn't do it for long...

My friends,

All are getting suspicious...

My parents,

All try to protect me from the hurting...

But you,

I hoped that you would love me...

And you did,

You saved me from so much pain...

Saved me from making a terrible mistake,

That would cost me my life...

I admire your strength,

Your loving and caring heart...

I just love you so much,

With every beat of my heart...

With every star still twinkling in the sky,

With the Sun and the Moon still shining above the world...

You are my true sanctuary away from me and the world,

Someone I can trust with my very heart...

I love you my dearest,

And only you...

So as the stars rain across the sky,

I could have swore...The Sky Garden was smiling down upon us…"

Finishing up, She looked up from her notebook to find her mom smiling and her dad smirking.

"You thought that up all by yourself?" Amy asked as she got up and hugged Ainjell. She nodded and hugged back. Of course…The poem was a wish…A truth that won't ever become a reality.

"Yes mama, I did. It just came to me. When I thought about your bedtime story you told me every night." She said smiling. Amy smiled.

"It sounds beautiful Ainjell." Espio said as he gave her a thumbs up and a wink. She smiled as she hugged the notebook close to her. The notebook she held was containing poetry. Poetry about the Blue Blur and what she wished what would never happen.

"Thanks dad." She said smiling. She then suddenly felt like she lost her appetite. "Um…May I be excused please?" She asked. Amy then looked and Espio.

"Yes." He said. Amy nodded as well. Ainjell took her leave to her bedroom.

Walking in her bedroom, She closed the door behind her as she approached her bookshelf and placed the notebook into place. She sighed as she stood there staring at the wall. She then finally tore her attention away from the wall and began walking over to her bed. She the saw a note folded on her pillow. She cocked her eyebrow up.

She walked over to her bed and opened the note. She read, "Ainjell, I'm sorry about earlier…Meet me at Lily Park tonight at 12." She saw that it was signed by Sonic. Her heart fluttered. She then had to climb into bed to keep her parents from being suspicious.

Several times her mother kept checking on her, She pretended to sleep. She waited and waited for them to go to bed. Lucky thing she had her fathers acute sense of hearing, So she could her parents go to bed. And…Other stuff. Ainjell couldn't help but laugh softly.

She looked at her clock, 11:36pm. She got up and out of bed. She turned off her lamp and placed a pillow beneath the sheets to make a dummy that slept. As she finished, She crept over to her window and opened it. She slipped out and closed the window behind her, Leaving it cracked open. She then began her jog to the park.

Finally making it to the park, She stopped her jog and looked around. The park was illuminated by the fluorescent lights. She saw the fountain spew out crystal clean water, Which sparkled like diamonds at night. The flowers seemed to be asleep for the night. Everything was just so peaceful.

She began walking through the park, In search of Sonic. Seeing none, She decided to take a seat in a bench and pulled out her cell phone and checked for messages. Seeing none, She sighed. Crossing her legs.

"It's freakin' 12...Where is he?" She asked herself in frustration. The wind brought on a warm breeze which caressed her face. She then tied up her black hair so the hair wouldn't fly around. She then saw a figure standing in the distance. Could it be…?

Ainjell then got up and ran over to the figure, She then caught a sight of black quills with red highlights. Ruby eyes glowing bright in the dark. Feeling a shiver run down her spine, It was Shadow…

"Shadow? What are you doing here?" She asked. He stepped into the light, So she could see him better.

"I was just strolling around, And I just decided to walk through the park." He said. Ainjell then nodded. Shadow then cocked his eyebrow at her.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in bed?" He asked. Ainjell then sighed.

"I'm kinda waiting for Sonic…He wrote me a note saying meet him her at 12." She said as she handed him the note. Shadow took it before reading it, He then chuckled. Ainjell cocked her head to the side confused. "What?" She asked. He stifled his laughter. Ainjell felt kinda dumb and she didn't know what about. "Damn it Shadow, What is it?" She asked. He handed her back the note.

"It says meet him 12pm." He said, With a smirk plastered on his face. Her eyes then widened as she quickly opened it up…He was right…It said 12pm…How the hell did she miss that? She the sighed as she walked over to a tree and smacked her head to it. She felt stupid. How did she miss that fine print? She continued bopping her head against the wall.

She then felt a forceful pull on her and yanked her back away from the tree. She looked at Shadow with confusion. Why was he stopping her from knocking some sense into her head?

"Shadow, Why did you stop me?" She asked. He then shook his head.

"Pain is not the answer Ainjell. You made a mistake, You don't have to punish yourself for it." He said. What he said made a whole lot of sense to Ainjell. It was a mistake. Common mistake. Anyone could've made it. Ainjell then smiled and hugged Shadow.

"Thanks Shadow." She said as she squeezed him. He hugged back. Ainjell then felt her heart stammer a beat, Wait a second…What was she doing? She pulled back, Looking into his eyes.

"You're welcome, You should really head on home." He said as he backed up. She then nodded as she began to walk back the direction she came. She then heard footsteps run up next to her. "Not alone." He said. Ainjell then blushed. Now she was digging too deep. Was she REALLY that desperate for companionship?

They walked in silence. The wind grew a bit chilly, Which caused Ainjell to cover her arms with her hands. Shadow noticed this and pulled off his jacket and handed it to her. Ainjell hesitantly took it from him.

"Thanks." She said as she put it on. A strong scent filled her nose, It smelled intoxicating. She did her best not to breathe in the smell so much…But it was unsuccessful. She sighed. At least she felt warm. She snuck a quick peak at Shadow. He wore a red tank top and baggy black shorts on with red looking amulet around his neck. (The symbol from Shadow the Hedgehog game.)

He looked absolutely fit. Muscles were showing through his shirt…Made him look dangerous in his own special way. Ainjell then tore her eyes away before he saw her. He was indeed one sexy hedgehog…He was pretty much…Maybe her age. No one really knows how old he was.

But he did indeed look like a 19 year old. Ainjell shook her head. Telling herself to stop.

They both stopped in front of her home. Ainjell sighed softly as she removed his jacket. He shook his head.

"You keep it." He said. She blushed before nodding.

"Thank-You." She said as she began to circle the house, Shadow followed curiously.

"What are you doing?" He asked. Ainjell stood in front of her window before looking back at him.

"Can't use the front door." She said as she opened her window up and climbed in. She placed the jacket in her closet. She turned to find Shadow on her bed.

"Sneaking out? Gee. You must really love Sonic to sneak out." He said. Ainjell then glared at him.

"Of course…I…Love him since I was 7." She said. Shadow picked up her plushy.

"This is 10 years old?" He asked. She nodded. He tossed it aside.

"Careful now, It's fragile." She said. He rolled his eyes and got up and approached to the window. Ainjell looked at him. He stopped before looking over his shoulder to her.

"Don't let me catch you outside at night by yourself again." He said. Ainjell didn't know what to say…She then nodded. "Even if you're meeting up with that Faker…Do NOT go alone again." He said before leaping out the window. He closed it behind him before speeding off.

Ainjell sighed. She must have been looking desperate…She then grabbed her emerald silk nightgown and removed her shirt and pants and slipped it on. She slipped into her bed and under the silk green color blanket. She sighed softly before pulling her plushy close to her and fell into a deep sleep.
