Sonic's POV
My life has been great. Every since I was born, life has been good to me. I remember when I first started walking, my mother got me some shoes. I ran everyday with these shoes (that are red) and I gained speed. I can run faster than the speed of sound! That says a lot about my speed.
Anyways, I don't have a father. He walked out on us once I was born. By the way, I have an older brother named Scourge. He's two years older than me. He's been a good kid. He always looked out for me. He always help me through everything! We always have each other's back.
Everything seemed fine, until one night. Our mother went out on a date with this guy and she never came back. I was 18 at the time, Scourge was 20. After a few days (after the date), a cop showed up at the house and told us that our mother was found dead. Scourge didn't take it to well soon after, something snapped inside of him and he's been doing illegal things. I promised my mother (when I was younger) that I would always do the right thing in life, no matter what has happened. Years went by and Scourge was thrown in jail a lot and I would always have to get him out.
"This is the last time, Scourge!" I yelled walking out of the police station.
"Ok, Ok, Ok."
"No, don't 'OK' me! I'm losing my money getting you out of the jail!"
"Well, I didn't ask for you to bail me out."
"Mom would have wanted me too."
Scourge didn't say anything. We got in my car and drove to the store. Once we got to the store, we walked in and I grabbed a basket. We started to walk around the store. I made sure Scourge was with me the whole time. I notice that Scourge was checking out some girls. I could only roll my eyes. He was girl crazy. Scourge was 28 years old. He's been in jail for the past 2 years.
"Alright, I'm done." I said. "Let's check out."
After we checked out, we left the city. We drove into the woods, following a dirt path. I parked my car in front of a cabin. Scourge and I got out of the car and walked to the front door. Scourge tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open.
"It won't open." Scourge said.
"Because you need this key."
I held up the key. I unlocked the front door and we walked inside. This is where we both lived. Scourge was always causing trouble in town and everyone hated him. Everyone in the city loved me, though. But I couldn't let my own brother be alone in the woods. I put our food away and Scourge went into the living room and turned on the TV. But I turned it off the stood in front of the TV.
"What?" Scourge asked.
"I'm not bailing you out anymore." I said crossing my arms.
"No one asked you too."
"We have to stick together."
"Little brother, you can live on your own."
"I can't do that knowing you're always going to jail."
"That was my last time. I learned my lesson in jail."
Knowing Scourge, jail didn't affect him at all. I rolled my eyes and walked away. I heard the TV turned back on as I walked into my room. I shut my door and laid on my bed. I reached under my bed and pulled out a box. I lifted the lid up. There were pictures of Scourge and I. We've changed a lot in 2 years. We always take a picture before Scourge went to jail.
"Where did the times go by?" I asked to myself.
I put the box away and walked out of my bedroom. I walked down the hallway and Scourge was still watching TV.
"I'm going for a run." I said opening the front door.
"I'll be here."
I left the cabin and went on my daily run. Running would always help me out. With time like these, the only thing I wanted to do was run away from my fear. Not that I feared my own brother, it's just that I feared that one day Scourge will be in jail for the rest of his life. Then, I won't have a family anymore. I checked my watch to see how long I've been running.
"Four hours again... I get lost when I run!" I said going back home.
I walked back home. It sunset. I always liked watching the sunset. In the distance, I could see some glowing lights. My eyes went wide as I walked closer and closer to the cabin. There were cops everywhere! What the hell happened now!?
"Officer! What's going on!?" I asked.
"We got a call from someone who was hiking in the woods."
The officer didn't finish. I wonder where Scourge was.
"AND!?" I yelled.
"Your brother."
"Please tell me he's not dead." I said looking at the house.
"I wish... I mean, he kidnapped a girl."
"I didn't do anything! She wanted it!" Scourge yelled.
Scourge walked out of the cabin yelling. He was handcuffed with two cops on both of his side. I looked at Scourge, hoping he would see how upset I was. Scourge saw me.
"Wait! Sonic! Tell them I'm innocent!" Scourge said.
"Is he innocent?" Asked a cop.
I starred at Scourge. He knew I would do anything for him. We were always there for each other. We always had each other's back. But I don't know what to think about my brother anymore. I couldn't let this happen again. This was the last time.
"Take him away." I said walking away.
"Sonic! We're brothers! What would mom think of this!?" Scourge asked in a crazy voice.
Scourge was taken away. I saw a family sitting on a car. I saw a girl crying her eyes out. I walked over to them. The father saw me coming their way and he held his family closer to him.
"Who are you?" The father asked.
"I'm the brother that hurt your child."
"You have a lot of nerve coming over to us."
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
"Thanks... You're the nice brother." The girl asked.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Blaze."
"Don't worry anymore, Blaze." The officer said walking up to us. "Scourge is going to jail for a long time."
"How long!?" I asked worried.
"For life."
I couldn't speak once the officer said that. My hands started to shake. My own brother! He's going to jail for life now! My worst fear came true. I couldn't believe this! What was I going to do now!? I was going to be living one my own now! I couldn't only go visit my brother!
"That's good!" The father laughed. "Maybe now he can change in jail."
"Maybe now you'll actually watch your fucking daughter!" I yelled. "All of you! Get off my fucking property!"
The family left once I said that. The officer made sure I wouldn't do anything crazy, so he stayed with me. After I cooled down he left me. I slammed the door and locked it. I made myself dinner. Life was going to be hard for me.
It's the next morning. My stomach was in pain. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I got up and went to the front door. I opened the door and saw the newspaper.
"Of coarse! Scourge is the head line."
I walked back inside. I walked into Scourge's room and looked around. Everything felt empty without him. I shut his bedroom door and locked it. I walked down the hall. At the end of the hall was a small window. To my right was a closet door. I walked into the closet. There was nothing in this closer, beside a hidden room.
I reached for the ceiling of the closet. The wall of the closet opened and I walked in. I walked into a room. This room was covered with news article about Scourge and I. I turned on the light, which was only one hanging light. It swung back and forth, giving it that evil glow.
"Another one to add." I said cutting the article.
Once I cut the article and tapped it to the wall of the room. There was a table in the center of the room. It was so cold down here. I looked at the walls.
"The walls are almost covered with articles about us." I said.
The left the room. I walked back in the closet. I made sure the door closed to the hidden room. I walked out of the closet and dusted off my hands, grinning.
