Chapter one

Obsession

Reluctantly I handed Dr. Eggman the last chaos emerald. He snatched it from my rough beat up hands and carefully placed it inside his vault.

Dr. Eggman laughed loudly. "Oh ho ho ho hoo soon I will conquer the world! You'll see my dear Alexandria you'll see!"

I held back a laugh. "Sonic always ends up winning, what will be the difference this time?"

"Why have a little faith on your dear uncle wont you? After all if this works Shadow will be destroyed too. . ."

"Shadow?" I asked, my hands violently turning into fists forcing my nails to dig deep into my soft flesh.

"Oh yes we'll get rid of that little pest too," He patted my head with his big gloved hands. "Finally sweet revenge for you"

I nodded the walked to my room for some peace and quiet.

Hate bubbled up inside of me when my eyes stuck to a picture half hidden under my pillow. It showed a happy 7 year old twirling on a pretty blue dress. Standing to her right was a happy young couple dressed in jeans and simple shirts with a lab coat on top.

The little girl was me.

The couple? My parents, frozen in their last happy moment not knowing that a week later they'd be buried 6 feet underground.

It all happened too fast. GUN targeted the research lab they worked on and not long after that shadow and his team blew up the place.

At that moment, my 7 year old self had been just a street away walking there to school like every day, I remember it too good for my own health.

I remember the feeling of adrenaline rushing into me when the explosion threw me back a few feet, then standing up and running towards the lab as fast as my short somewhat chubby legs would carry me.

"Alexandria!" My mother screamed when she saw me get close. Hurt as she was, she started running towards me.

Then that black hedgehog came into the scene, a gun in hand. He grabbed my mom's arm roughly then shot her brains out onto the pavement. Tears flowed out of my bright blue eyes until everything became a big blur but I could still see the black figure moving towards me.

"Nothing to see here kid," He said pushing me back, "Get out."

That day a monster was born within me, feeding on my pain, filling the emptiness with hate and insatiable hunger for revenge.

I punched the pillow until my arms refused to move, at which point I slammed myself onto the beat up pillow and into the arms of another tearful sleepless night.
