the beautiful leaves falling from the once so green trees.
falling with colours to ease the eye.
first yellow then red and at last brown witch falling to the concreet of the deserted street.
wind blowing the leaves away on the frontyards of the people who where preparing for the upcomming winter.
peacefull without cars passing and birds... complete silence.

running tru those deserted streets was a blue hedgehog also known as Sonic.
lost in thoughts running tru the city with nothing crossing his path..
cheer bless for the hedgehog who loved racing more then anithing!
with a green scarf around his neck to keep him warm for the blowing wind.
two gloves on each hand swinging with it's owner on the ritm of his steps of red and white striped shoes. running for wat seemed like eternity.
twinkling around his one wrist was a golden ring...
the only thing that remembered his friendship with his one double...
they where first rivals. with anger and hatred involved...
but in the end they fought together to save planet earth.
but something went wrong and sonic ended up with holding his doubles hand, so that he wouldnt crash into earth.
but he only did one thing... he took of one of his golden rings of his wrist and gave it to Sonic before falling to earth.

that was the first time that sonic actually cried.
when he looked again at the shiny golden ring around his wrist while running tru station square.
a tear slipped past his cheek ... for the second time in his life.
he wept the tears of with the back of his gloved hand.
"Why...?" he asked.
"Why can' i forget about you ... fill that empty whole inside of me?"
he asked while running out of the city to the top of the hill that was nearby with a large tree on top.
it was starting to get dark and the stars already where at the sky that was turning dark blue.
Sonic looked up at the stars and whispered with words only he could understand...
he sat there under that tree still didnt want to go home...
"the pain, the emotions... of that single empty whole inside of me..." he whispered
"that such a thing can hurt so much"

he stood up and wanted to go and think of something else wich seemed inpossible.
the only place he knew he was alone to think his clearest thoughts ...
that was on the cliff that hung over the sea.

Sonic always whent there if he was in an emotional mood.
so he gave a quiq run and was there in 5 min...
he looked at the sea that twinkeled from the light of the stars and moon.
darkblue with shiny diamonts in there that twinkled at every movement of the large and obliviant sea.
Sonic was now a little confused...
how could i be scared of something so beautiful and unique as wat he saw now...
he closed his eyes and enjoyed the soft breese and the sound of the waves crashing into the cliff.

Sonic felt himself falling into his own thoughts.
wind crossing his face rapidly.
"WAIT A SEC!!!!" he yelled while opening his eyes.
and noticed that the cliffpoint where he was standing had broken of
and he was falling towards the ocean( and he can't swim!!!!!!!!!!!!)

sonic felt the icy cold surrounding him.
he saw only darkness around him ... and above many flickering lights ogf the stars and moon.
and he felt cold running tru his vanes and he started to loose his consunce when he fell dieper into the dark ocean.
"so this is the end?" he thought.
right there and then he heard something jumping into the water and he saw something heading his way...
"oh great sharks...i'm going to drown and this things are gonna eat me alive wat a joyfull death"
but when the thing was coming closer he noticed that he saw that figure before.
when he was close enough for onic to see who it was Sonic fainted with the final words
"Shadow"? and for that moment that empty whole inside of him was gone !
