He was probably the most famous
hedgehog in his world. Everyone loved
him, he was the hero they've all been
saved by countless of times. Whether it was an alien invasion, aiding in the advance against an ancient, mystical being, or foiling the plot of an over-cooked, rotten egg. Sonic never really knew what he was getting himself into when he rushed head first into the tight grasp of chaos.
He never seemed to care where it got him, as long as he helped someone. Though time and time again, the spiky little hedgie always managed to cause trouble for anyone willing to get in his way.
But there was only one who got away with foiling his acts of heroism. The only person that he's never been able to get back at for causing him to hold his terrible secret.
The hero who's worked so hard to keep his world at piece, might be the one to destroy it completely. Sonic is more than what he seems. His pure heart, is surrounded by a curse of pure darkness. The darkness within his heart grew each time he felt pain and sorrow. But because he never releases his inner feelings, only allowing the stoic, fearless, friendly side to escape through his eyes...the darkness grew. Allowing it to form into an entity, first filling his mind with lies, making him slowly grow insane, pulling away from his friends and loved ones.
Then one day...it consumed him. When he broke, he cried. The voice within his head took hold of him. He tried to regain his self control, but all that was left was a mirror. Sonic looked at himself, gripping its sides, he smashed his head onto the glass surface. The pieces fell to the ground. His head was bleeding heavily. He paid no mind to it.
Sonic looked at his reflection, his tears mixed with the flowing blood. They dripped onto his carpet and the shards of glass that lay upon the ground. "Time's up." The he felt it So much pain...he felt it all. Sadness, sorrow, agony, madness... Screaming at the top of his lungs, he grabbed his head. Stumbling around he knocked over his belongings. Ultimately he fell to his knees, lifting his head to the ceiling. His emerald irises faded in and out of from green to red. As they switched, an eerie smirk stretched across his lips. Sonic opened his mouth to reveal sharp rows of teethe. He uttered a mad laugh, before falling to the floor. He began to dream deeply.
