Blitz's Journey
by: Terrell James
Chapter 1: Blitz's Beginning
It was a sunny morning in Hazel Island, and the sun starts rising up from the sky and one green hedgehog, 16-years old, brown eyes, wearing red and blue sneakers, wears a punk-rock on fire guitar shirt, some blue ripped jeans and with black hair with a blue corner fringe with bangs covering halif of his face, stood there looking at the sun, with his hair stroking his face. He stood there, thinking what's his journey is coming in. He brought out his guitar and starts strumming his guitar and starts playing a song. That always gets him relaxed and out of his element a little.
Then, a voice came behind him, saying, "Blitz..."
He turned around and saw his guardian there, 55 years old, red eyes, wearing a white and grey shirt, with a brown jacket, some green pants and wearing old shoes, looking like there's something going on. Blitz turned around and asked, "What is it?"
His guardian looked at him and said, "It won't be long until you desire to watch over the entire island."
Blitz puts down his guitar and said, "Yeah, I know. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna be cut out for this job. Ever since my parents left, you've been the leader of this entire island while raising me."
"Yeah, that's true. Anyways, I would be proud of you to follow my dreams."
Blitz looked confused and asked, "Your dreams? You've always been talking about your dreams ever since you took me in. Don't get me wrong, but I need to follow my own dreams as well."
His guardian scoffed and asked, "Your dreams? And what are those dreams?"
"Well, musician, singer-songwriter, artist and writer. You always say I have a creative mind." Blitz explained.
"Well, this is true. But, I think it's time to put your dreams aside for your future."
Blitz scoffed and thought he wasn't gonna get anywhere at this point with his guardian talking about him always following his dreams. He kinda got fed up with everyone talking about who's next on the throne and thinking that he might have a shot. It seems as though Blitz wasn't getting any slack from his future goals.
Then, his guardian comes back with a drawing that looks like Blitz's doodling and asks, "What is this?"
He turns around and sees the drawing he made several years ago and then, answered, "That's me, being a musician. That's what I plan on."
"But...I thought you wanted to be the leader of this island."
"No, I didn't, actually. I have thought about what I wasnted to do in my life and it doesn't involve being a leader for this entire island at all."
"Why do you even want to be all of these things, anyway?"
Blitz felt as if his future plans were questioned by his guardian and suddenly asked, "Because since I was young, these goals has always been my life and that I would love to do in my spare time. It became by hobby and I could actually live out my dream in."
His guardian scoffed and said, "So, that's it? You're giving up your dream?"
"No. I'm giving up your dream. I'm taking the ginormous leap for mine. Like you always say, 'if you set your mind to anything, then you can accomplish your goal.' And I am taking my goal."
"Where did I go wrong with you?"
"Nothing. Just try to understand my position. I've never had any friends before, I haven't been the most independent or went outside the island. I just needed some adventure to live off. I mean, I'm 16 years old, for crying out loud. I should just live the life of an ordinary teenager."
"You don't need to be an ordinary teenager. I've trained you with great powers and you're a warrior!"
Blitz scoffed and asked, "You just don't get it, don't you?"
"I do get it! It's you that don't get it! That's all you will be, a warrior and a leader."
"Then, maybe I don't want to be a leader of the island in the future."
"Yes, you are!"
"No, I'm not! Never have and never will be a leader and let's just leave it at that!"
Blitz walked away from the situation, feeling very frustrated, like he's losing a battle he can't win. He walked towards the forest of the island, feeling like his dreams didn't matter to his guardian, no matter what he does in his life. He sighed angrily and wondered what would it be like to be an ordinary teenager.
A few friends of his, a 15-year-old blue echidna named Mark, blue eyes, dreadlocks on the back of his head, wears a green shirt, blue jeans and brown sneakers, a little taller than Blitz, Danny, a 16-year-old orange hedgehog with orange hair, green eyes, wears a red T-shirt, blue and red jeans, yellow and white sneakers, slimmer than Blitz and Noah, a 14-year-old grey and white hedgehog, long brown hair, wears a blue flaming guitar shirt, wears ripped jeans also, wears green and white sneakers, hazel eyes and taller than Blitz and Danny, saw Blitz sitting in the trees, looking really frustrated and upset.
"Hey, dude. What's up?" asked Danny.
Blitz looked at them and replied, "It's my guardian again. He's constantly pressuring me to do what he wants me to do and I don't even want to be leader of Hazel Island. Do I look like leader material or something?"
"Well, we know you're not." replied Noah.
"You guys are my friends, you're supposed to say stuff like that."
"True, that."
"Anyways, you wanna unwind yourself with at our place with an awesome movie?" asked Mark.
"As long as it ain't scary. Last time you showed me a movie, there was one scene where that monster tried to consume the professor's brain and I almost threw up after that."
"Well, how was I supposed to know you couldn't see a PG-13 movie with scenes like that?"
"That's because you brought it in before I showed up, so who's fault is that?"
"Yours."
"Me?! Are you serious, dude? How am I told blame for this?"
"Well, you didn't even want to see that movie anyway."
"Oh, that is not true!"
"Okay, guys. Chillax, okay. I mean, we've got pizza." said Danny.
"Pizza?! You're lucky I LOVE pizza!"
Then, they all got in and took a seat and brought out an adventurous movie and Noah brought in the pizza, which Blitz look at, made his mouth water. Danny said, "Calm down, dude. We know you're cool with pizza, so keep your composure down."
"Okay, sorry. I'll try to be cool." said Blitz.
A few minutes passed by and they were watching the movie. They started laughing over one scene in the movie. Danny asked, "It's like the other way, dude? I mean, come on."
"He knows he's not supposed to enter the cave, right?" asked Blitz.
"Are you kidding? This guy couldn't read through a palm tree." said Noah.
Mark rolled his eyes and said, "He has to find his way back to his 'girlfriend's' place. Like he could really get a girl at this point."
"What does he need a girl for anyway?"
"Probably to impress her by making a fool out of himself."
"Well, you fit into that department."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"When you're around girls, you either freeze, drool, mumble or say stupid things like, 'I like grass.' I mean, come on. What is that?"
"That was only one time!"
"Sure, it was." said Noah.
A few hours passed and they see the dude and the girlfriend kissing again, which made Blitz, Danny and Noah disgusted. Blitz asked, "Is there even a rating for this crap?"
Noah picked up the DVD and looked on the back and said, "It's PG."
"Are you sure it says 'PG'? The way that kissing scene looked like, it should've been rated 'PG-13'."
"It could be the director's cut." said Mark.
"Director's cut? Are you insane?"
"It could happen."
As soon as the movie ends, Blitz had to head back home and sees his guardian outside. He got nervous, thinking that he's waiting for him to come home, so he tip-toed into the house until...
"You're awfully late this evening." his guardian said.
Blitz groaned softly and whispered, "So close."
"Where you been?"
"Out with my friends."
"I see. You just like to mess around like a normal teenager, don't you?"
"To be a normal teenager is to have fun."
"Well, you're 16. It's time you started thinking about your future. You have to take over the entire island and I will decide what you want to do with your life."
"Since when is this your decision?"
"Since you were here."
"Okay, obviously, doing what I love to do in my future is a lot important than what you want me to do. I can't be something that I know I'm not and that's the point."
"Listen to me, I won't be around forever and you'll have to carry on the tradition."
"Did it ever occur to you that this is all what you wnated?"
Blitz walked away from his guardian and went to his room to cool off, but he was very upset about his guardian wanting him to do something in his future and turn it to something he doesn't want. He goes to sleep and within a few hours, he kept tossing and turning about the pressure he feels toward his guardian for pushing him to be something he doesn't want to be in his future. He woke up and stared at the dark ceiling, feeling like he's fighting a losing battle.
Because of his guardian's desire and wants for him to be a leader of Hazel Island, it's like he could careless about his future and more about his own future for Blitz. Soon enough,Blitz could not take the pressure of being what he doesn't want to be in his life, to live out his guardian's dream.
So, he hopped out of bed and got his things together and put them in a duffel bag, hopped out of the window and decided to run away from Hazel Island, until his guardian comes to his senses.
With no time to spare, Blitz ran to the top of the roof and then stands still for a few minutes and fell down from the roof and started flying. He flew out of the island and into another world where he's likely to be a normal teenager with ultra-superpowers and he hopes that he'll be more of a young person if possible.
Later on, the guardian and his wife were planning to check on Blitz, and when they got to his room, there was an empty room and no Blitz around. They were looking for him and they saw a note hanging around there, that reads,
Dear Guardians, please don't bother looking for me in this note that you're currently reading. I'm just going away for a while and I'm not sure when I'll be coming back. I just can't take this pressure of being a leader of Hazel Island. I couldn't stand the fact that my guardian wants me to do what he wants me to do, that I don't even want. I just need some time to think and all I want to do in my life is be a singer-songwriter, musician and writer. That's pretty much what I like and until this pressure dies down, I'm not coming back until my guardian comes to his senses. Later much, Blitz.
Blitz's guardian clicks his tongue, thinking that he's been pushing Blitz too hard, but never really shows it. He turns to his wife and said, "We gotta find him."
"Wait, honey. Let's just give him some time. He'll come home to us....when he's ready."
The guardian looked very heated, but his wife calmed him down already and said, "Okay. I just wanted him to succeed so badly."
"If Blitz doesn't want to be leader of the island, he doesn't want to be the leader of this island. He has to choose his own future, not you. And whatever he will do, we'll be proud of him either way."
She walks away, leaving the guardian thinking about Blitz, thinking, 'I hope he's okay and I hope he comes back home to us.'
Well, this is the first draft of this story. The next chapter can be extremely cooler.
