Shadow's Of The Past

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day over the Mystic Ruins, the sun beamed down as many ray's of sunlight shined through the branches of the tree cracks. The breeze of the wind made it very relaxing, which is why a certain blue hedgehog had found himself dozing off in the tree tops for most of the day.

"Aw man, can't believe, I'm SO bored!" Sonic muttered a little frustrated as he leaned back on the tree branch with his hands and gazed up through some of the branches that allowed him to see some of the blue sky. Nothing exciting had happened in a while. Not a peep was heard from the notorious doctor Eggman, in over the space of two months. Not that Sonic was complaining. He actually liked it when the doctor didn't attack cause that meant his friends were safe. But as the doctor had been gone for two months, that also meant that he could be planning something that was bigger than his last attack.

But Sonic didn't worry about this, he'd stop him no matter what and he'd be ready for anything. Still with it being so quiet and not much happening Sonic couldn't help but crave for a little excitement. His mind wandered to the pink hedgehog who used to give him some excitement with her constant chasing and he'd always do his best to avoid her, but she hadn't been doing any of that for over a week now. Which was really unlike her.

"I wonder what she's been up to?!" He asked out loud as he closed his eyes again. What he didn't know was that he was about to find out.

The blue hedgehog perked his ears up and opened one eye slightly, he could hear the sound of running footsteps and very heavy breathing. Sonic turned his head with his eyes fully opened and almost fell out of the tree when he saw the very hedgehog that he was thinking about.

Amy looked exhausted as she ran past the tree were her hero rested. Sonic raised his eyes in confusion, "she doesn't seem to be looking for me," Sonic exclaimed as he held on to the tree and leaned on his knees.

"What's she doing out here?!" He asked out loud as he like in the direction in which she ran to.

Deciding to find out the blue hedgehog jumped from tree to tree and finally found the pink hedgehog at a dead end, she was gazing up at the high cliff side that blocked her from going forward.

Amy turned round and Sonic could easily see that she looked terrified from something as she looked for another way to run, he was about to jump down and approach her. But a black shadowy cloud appeared in front of Amy. Sonic's mouth hung open. "What the...?!" He muttered.

A dark creƤture emerged from the black and purple clouds, it was a hedgehog, he was completely black with the exception of purple streaks in his quills which were all puffed up. He wore a purple cape from Sonic could see from the back.

"Now, now my dear, can't we just stop this pointless running and chasing game? You know I'll catch you in the end?!" He chuckled evilly and flashed her a flirty grin, "I'd hate to hurt you more, than I already have!"

Amy growled while panting, "I'll never go with you, never!"

The hedgehog chuckled again while waving his pointing finger back and forth, "see this is where your wrong, you know for a fact that you have to be with me, but you're not willing to obey, guess I'll just have to take you by force!"

The hedgehog took a run at her but he suddenly stopped in his tracks, something landed in front of him, the dust from the ground kicked up through the air, which sent him into a coughing fit, he opened his eyes as the smoke cleared.

"I don't think so!" Came a voice that he'd never heard of.

His eyes soon landed on a blue hedgehog who stood in a protective fighting stance in front of the female hedgehog. He narrowed his eyes at the hedgehog, "what is this?!" He said towards Sonic.

Amy eyes widened in surprise when she realised it was Sonic, "S-Sonic?!" 'where'd he come from? But none the less I'm so happy to see him!' Amy thought as she looked upon her hero she'd never been so relived to see him.

The hedgehog smirked, "ah, so your are Sonic? I thought as much!"

Sonic grinned "that's right, so you mind telling me who you are?"

The hedgehog chuckled, "I'm surprised your little friend hasn't told you about me, but since you must know I am Damien, the demon hedgehog!"

"A demon hedgehog, that's a new one?" Sonic stated with raised eyes and a smirk.

The dark hedgehog didn't look amused, he gripped his purple cape and brought it round to the front of him and his eyes glowed red, "enough of this nonsense I've have come for the pink hedgehog and I am going to take her!" Damien charged for Sonic, Sonic jumped back and behind Amy, he scooped her up in his arms and ran straight up the side of the cliff.

Damien growled as he looked up, he knew Sonic was fast so there was no point in following him, "NO! You haven't seen the last of me!"

Sonic grinned as he held Amy in his arms, he heard the hedgehog scream from down below, he was about to stop some place nice and safe, when he looked down at his arms and saw Amy alseep, and as he looked closer he noticed she'd been hurt. 'I guess Tails place will be best, he'd be able to treat those wounds,' thought Sonic as he changed his direction and headed to the foxes workshop.
