Trick and Capture, Chapter 1

(Hey peeps, so, if you have been watching you would know I kinda havn't written in a while. A LONG while. 8-9 months...

This has been for a few reasons, 1) I feel like Sega is killing Sonic... Really do... Losing intersting in writing about him. 2) I've been writing my own characters and after doing some of my own stuff and I like that more then this.. Sorry, but its true. 3) Then also..I just havn't wanted to write for this..

Buuuut, because someone (Epic-friend-of-mine XP) linked to this story to show it off.. and I didn't want everyone to think this is my writing leval.. and that I havn't done stuff.. I'm gonna re-do this story.

I PROMISE this will come faster then fist time I wrote it, mostly cuz I don't have to re-write everything.

Anyway, if you want me to keep writing after I do this, drop me a PM.. I don't know if I'm just feeling like a jerk or what, but I need a push. Please? If not.. Fox and Rabbit is gonna die.. and you're not gonna see much more writing from me..

Anyway, thanks for reading, review like always :P)

Darkness, pain, that kind that made you want to curl into a ball and desperately hope it would go away soon.

This is what greeted Sonic as he slowly opened his eyes. At first, he could see nothing but a think, heavy black. Trying to move, he felt excruciating pain shoot into his legs and arms. He looked down and realized why; he was chained to the wall. "Where am I? What am I doing here?" he mumbled sleepily. Trying to move again, he could feel rough stone and concrete under him. Something was wrong..

"He he he" A chuckling sound came from the shadows around him. The noise seemed to bounce off the walls and come at him from all angles. At first, it was almost impossible to tell where it was coming from. After twisting his tiny blue triangle-like ears, it pin-pointed from the left.

Sonic focused his eyes, trying to see the owner of the sound. "Who are you?" He demanded, his eyes searching the tiny room, sweeping first over to the left and then around in 180 degrees. "You can't hide from me forever!"

When no other sound would reach his ears, he sighed impatiently. Mind games. Only the ones of a sick, twisted person. "Fine! Stay out of sight! See if I care. I happen to like being here, all by my self. What I would really hate is if you were blasting music in my ears!" He snapped, hoping he would at least get a response.

The only response he was silence.

Sonic groaned and tried one more time. "At least you didn't take away my shoe, cuz I have things in there that would help me escape and get AWAY!" Sonic screamed at the wall. Although having his shoes taken away would have been bad because he couldn't run very fast without protection for his feet, there wasn't really anything inside of them.

He waited, and waited.. Nothing. Growled in anger, the hedgehog's mind started planning, how to get out of here, and what he'd do to the person who put him in here in the first place. But Before he could get very in his escape ideas, another low chuckle reached his ears, like the first.

Sonic whipped his head around. "Who are you? Come out here so I can look at you! Why are you hiding?"

The chuckle grew louder, "But I have nothing to hide" Eggman said as he came out from the shadows. He moved so he stood right in front of Sonic, still chuckling.

As soon as Sonic looked at him, he smiled; not an evil smile but a smile two friends would share. Like this was just another day, hanging out with his pal. "You know, you say that block-headed echidna friend of yours is thickheaded and gets tricked easily, but you!" Eggman stopped and doubled over in laughter.

Sonic glared at him, "What are you talking about?"

Eggman stood up; his shoulders still shaking, and a huge smile on his face. "And you just gave me 8 emeralds! The 7 Chaos emeralds and the Master Emerald." He added when he saw the puzzled look on Sonics face.

The blue hedgehog looked at a loss for words, the expression on his face wouldn't of been more shocked if Eggman had said they were long lost brothers. After almost 8 seconds, words finally spilled from his mouth. "But You said y-you changed!"

Eggman looked fiendishly pleased. "I lied." As soon as these words left his mouth, he leened against the wall, waiting for the expected response.

The surprise on Sonic's face turned to anger and fast. "You little lying—when I get my hands on you!" He growled.

Eggman laughed, a loud booming sound that bounced off the walls, "What are you going to do? If I remember correctly, your'e chained to a wall, and I have the emeralds! But if you behave, I MIGHT let you live, but you must be good."

"You sick, sadistic, psycho, loser of a—" Sonic snarled.

A sweet smile flirted across Eggman's face as Sonic had just called him his best friend, "Didn't anyone ever teach you any manners? Oh wait, I forgot, even your parents didn't want you! Silly me! And always remember you idiot, I could have killed you at any time, but I haven't, yet"

Sonic growled, showing off his sharp yellow-white teeth. The look on his face just daring Eggman to keep going.

Eggman quickly moved his right hand out of biting range. By all means, he was NOT afraid of Sonic, but he had learned the hard and painful way Sonic was a deadly fighter when provoked.

"Oh well", Turned away, the mad scientist casually pressed a button on the wall. "I guess I will just have to teach you a few manners. After all, you've been in my house for quite a while and I haven't been able to show you my hospitality."

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Over my dead body!" He coated his words in poison and spat them into the darkness of the tiny cell.

"Funny you should mention that, because that's just what I had in mind."

Sonic's eye ridges raised in confusion. "I beg your pardon?" He said slowly, as if speaking to a moron.

"Yes. You see, your friends aren't coming to save you. You are all alone."

Sonic rolled his eyes, the man in front of him could be so dense sometimes. "Don't you know anything, you moron? Tails will come! I know that."

"My dear Sonic! That is where you are wrong. Like always." He added under his breath and then started to leave. "Oh well, you will be finding this out for yourself soon. Maybe in a few months, when you are still here, and no one has come to save you—not even start to wonder where you are—you'll find everything I said was right."

Green eyes narrowed in suspicion, Eggman might be a mad scientist, but his words had gained the blue hedgehog's attention. "And you know this how? How do you know that they arn't going to wonder where I am? That they won't wonder where I went and they won't trace it to you and go look for me and find me here? Tell me how you know this, you dumb, dirty rotten, sick" His fury blinded him and cut off his words. He shook the chains as hard as he could, fire burning in his eyes.

Eggman waited for Sonic to calm down before he reached out and took Sonic's chin in his hands (while keeping them out of biting range). When they were eye to eye, he spoke softly," I know, because they think you're dead."
