Beep..!

The alarm clock annoyingly rang. Adam groaned and covered up his face with his pillow. 'Just a few more minutes….or hours...' He huffed in anger in his mind. His mind soon wandered before he heard coughing beside him. 'Little brother coughing…' He huffed and opened his ice blue eyes. He stretched and sat up in his bed, rubbing a hand through his hair. His half-lidded eyes looked around tiredly before stopping on the younger sibling beside him. "Alex?" He asked, stood up and wandered over. He stared down at the blue haired boy. He gently rested the back of his head on the smaller's forehead. Hot… too hot. Looks like he couldn't go on that field trip today… Adam perked up as the other started to groan softly, his emerald eyes unsheathing themselves.

"Adam?" The younger hummed, looking up at him.

"Hey kiddo." The other responded,

"Looks like you're still sick. Sorry." Adam frowned at his younger brother's frown. He ruffled his blue hair with a smile, "Hey! Maybe you can come back tomorrow!"

Alex huffed and pushed his hand away with a small glare, "Easy for you to say! There's nothing to do here."

Adam hummed, trying to think of something for his brother to do, "Mum's going down to the market today for medicine. Maybe somehow you can convince her to let you go."

Alex hummed in thought and nodded softly at the idea, "Alright. I might ask her." He coughed again, "Ugg… my throat is killing me..." He muttered a small thanks as Adam handed him a cough drop. He unwrapped it and popped it into his mouth.

Adam chuckled and ruffed his hair as the other sucked on the small honey drop, "I have to get ready for school. See yah, kiddo." And with that, he left the room. He hopped down the stairs and into the kitchen. After grabbing a small bite to eat and slightly combing through his messy hair, he rushed out the door, almost forgetting his backpack. It was strangely lonely running to school alone… He normally had Alex with him. Adam sighed softly with a frown but kept running anyways.

First period went by quickly. Adam didn't have a lot of friends, so not a lot of distractions. He simply did the assignment, turned it in, and got to play on his phone. Next period he would get to go on a field trip in science. He and Alex were supposed to go together, for his brother being three years younger was in the same grade, but alas, his brother was not here. Adam was alone. The fifteen year old turned up to the ceiling as the bell rang out. He quickly shoved his phone into his pocket and grabbed his binder. He rushed out of English and across the hall to the science lab. He took his assigned seat and leaned back in his chair.

"Alright, students! Take your seats!" Cried out Mr. Fredrickson, the 9th grade science teacher. He was a middle aged man with short black hair. He wore a t-shirt reading 'I wear this shirt periodically'. Alex thought it was hilarious for some reason. Adam tilted his head slightly as the other students took their seats. Role was called and they were told the rules of staying quiet in the halls. The rule no student ever followed in their high school years. Adam sighed as he walked down the hall in a line. He honestly fell asleep in the actual bus ride. He yelped slightly and his eyes snapped open as he was flung forward as the bus came to a stop.

The kids got off the bus and were separated into three groups. Adam considered himself unfortunate. The field trip was all about rocks. That would normally bore him, if it wasn't the fact the museum was built onto an active volcano. Adam always liked the idea of volcanoes. It made him feel almost normal. It's like a pimple for the earth! Well, time to get this over with… First lesson was using a microscope to study rock samples. Blah blah… He almost fell asleep it was so boring! It didn't help the teacher talked monotone! Next lesson was practically the same thing without the microscope! "Uhhh!" Adam cried out and slammed his head against his desk. He saw white, but not nearly enough to knock himself out. It'll all be worth it once he gets to that volcano…

A boring hour and a half passes by before it is time to rotate again. A wide smile spread across Adam's face as he rushed out the lab and up to the staircase. He practically gleamed as he was first in line. It was quite scary to see him so happy for the people that knew him long. The other students stared at him strangely. Adam ignored them as he beamed up at the stairs. As soon as the instructor gave them the ok, he quickly rushed up the stairs. His brother and he were closely tied for the track team, but even he got tired around the fifth flight. He panted softly and took a quick break before climbing them at a normal pace. Once he got to the top, sweat glistened up his face. He stared in shock at the other students at the top. "H-how?!" He cried.

The instructor raised a brow, "We just took the elevator. I tried to tell you but you were already two flights up." The teen cried out and pulled at his bright, green hair. He hummed and walked over, pushing his way to the front. He ignored the lesson and instead leaned against the railing, down at the lava. It amazed him… Anything that touched the liquid would instantly burn. He didn't even notice the class walking to a different part of the top. He yelped as someone walked behind him, pushing him over the fence. People gasped as he fell. Adam reached up dramatically as he tried with any means of saving himself. He shut his eyes, feeling the heat on his back. The last thing he heard was a loud splash.

"Hey…"

"Hey! Wake up!" A voice gently called him. Adam groaned. Was it all a dream? His eyes wandered open. He looked around curiously. He appeared to be in an outside garden. There was a vegetable farm, fruit vines and trees, and lots of flower. He tried to sit up, only to find that a bubbly, fuzzy creature was sat on his chest the whole time. It seemed spiky, but still quite cuddly. It smiled happily, "Oh! You're awake!" It cried. It sounded female. "I'm Hyper." She cried happily. Adam stared in surprise to see her float off his chest and land gracefully onto the ground. "You feeling ok?" she asked. "Y-yah… Im… fine…" He looked around, trying to find where he was, "Where am I? How did I get here?" Hyper smiled nervously, "Umm… you died."

"W-WHAT?!" He cried out in shock. He placed a hand on his head in awe. He was dead… He would never see his friend. or family… or Alex. He froze up, realizing he would never see his younger brother's beloved smile again.

Hyper frowned, sensing his sadness, "Hey, it's alright." She cooed with a sad smile. The smile grew on her face as she realized he wasn't feeling any better. The pale white creature frowned, looking around uselessly. "U-uhh... m-maybe we could…" She zipped around the garden, bringing Adam useless gifts to make him feel better. No use. Hyper sat down next to him, "Please feel better. I-I just…" She whimpered and her ears pinned back. She sobbed quietly to herself and pulled up her legs to her chest. She hid her head in her legs and started to cry. She felt so useless. "Some guardian I am…" she whined.

Adam shook his head, his curiosity taking him out of his trance, "Guardian…?" He asked curiously.

Hyper turned up, "Of course." She sobbed, rubbing the tears of her muzzle, "My sister and brother… and I all watch over the world below us. When we saw you die at such a young age and at the hands of others, we decided to save you." She sighed, "I just didn't realize how sad you would be…"

Adam frowned, "Well, what if your siblings were taken away from you? That's how I feel."

Hyper cried out, "t-that sounds horrible!" She cried out, panicking slightly, "I couldn't live without my brother and sister! They love me very much and always make sure I'm safe… I-I'm defiantly not the strongest out of all of us…" She sighed, "I keep trying to get stronger but it doesn't work. Besides. Emotions aren't strong…"

Adam raised a confused brow and tilted his head slightly, "Emotions? Guardians? What on earth are you rambling about?"

Hyper chuckled sadly, "you have a lot to learn. I have no clue what you are, but I am the element of emotion. I gift the ability to laugh and cry to the beings below." She smiled happily, explaining the rest, "My sister, super, is the element of intelligence. She knows everything! It's amazing!" She cried out. She then frowned softly, "Only problem, she never seems to smile anymore…" She sighed but smiled again, "Moving on, my twin, cosmic, is the element of the night." Hyper blushed softly, "I-I forgot to mention, I kinda took two jobs, also along with being the element of emotion, I kinda took control of the sun too." She giggled nervously, running a hand through her spikes.

Adam raised his hand up and quickly slapped himself on the cheek, "nope, not dreaming. And what's up with your guy's names? They're weird."

Hyper laughed, "Weird to you! We gave each other our names! Would you like one..?" she asked with a tilted head. She hummed and placed a hand to her chin, "Im thinking scourge… Yah! Scourge the hedgehog!" She giggled

"wait… hedgehog?" The other raised a brow.

Hyper laughed, "Well of course! Have you looked at yourself lately?"

Adam, now apparently scourge, muttered in confusion and walked over to the pond. He saw a green spiky creature just like hyper, apparently a hedgehog, with arctic blue eyes stare back.

"AAAHHH!"

Did you all enjoy? I sure hope you do. I'm already plotting out a second chapter. I might post five and introduce more of the plot and if no one still likes it, I might just scrap it and start new.

Also if it's a little confusing, Adam is scourge and I know a lot of people are going to hate me for this, but his little brother Alex, is sonic. Deal with it. Just trust me here. Anyways, thank you for reading. Please review, even flames are accepted.
