Some kids are lucky to have parents who love and care for them, let them do whatever they want, choose their own food, and have family members who love them to bits. Not for me, my family members hate my guts ever since that accident, my parents always choose for me, never let me choose myself, I just wish to escape from this nightmare. And go into the word of adventure.

I never thought this day would come.

My name is Nia, this is the story of how it all happened.

Chapter 1: A Not so Normal Day.

It was a warm Saturday morning, a girl in her teens start to wake up. She rubs her eyes and glances at the clock, it read 6:30.

"Nia wake up!" A voice boomed.

The girl, now named Nia Groans, she brushes her red hair out of her face which wasn't hard since her hair was thin, the hair stops halfway down her neck, she has pale skin, green eyes. She huffs as she gets out of bed, currently her age is 15, she goes to the wardrobe and got out her orange tank top, black sleeveless coat, and her flare jeans, she slowly starts to get changed out of her silky pajamas. Nia sighs, today was a family reunion, Nia's dreaded day, luckily it happens once a year, she finishes changing. As soon as she does, her door opens to reveal her father.

"Hurry up! As soon as the reunion is over, we're going to go to the camp." Her dad said.

Nia groans, she dreads camping as much as the reunion, the reason, her annoying cousin will be there. She finishes putting her shoes on, as soon as she finishes, she slowly walks out the door, then down the stairs. Once she reaches the bottom, she heads towards the car where her parents are waiting, she gets into the car.

'This is gonna be a looong day' Nia thought.

"Oh June! Your here!" A woman said happily.

Nia's mother nods happily, Nia on the other hand rolls her eyes.

"Yes I'm here Carol, so is my husband Harold" June replies to her sister.

"Oh Harold how are you, did you leave the brat at home? Or is that useless bug somewhere?" Carol asks.

Nia growls with anger, she was starting to reach to her boiling point,

"I'm right here you fool!" Nia hissed.

June shot her a glare, Carol huffs. Nia kept on growling, until she felt a stinging feeling on her left cheek, it took her a while to relied that her dad has slapped her.

"Watch what you say young lady!" Harold said angrily.

'is that all you freaking do!'Nia thought angrily

Tears of frustration rolls down her cheeks as she storms off from the house and into the nearby forest, she didn't even look back at the four adults. She continues to walk forward, heading towards the forest. Anger, hatred, frustration are the few things Nia is feeling right now.

'stupid aunt! Still blaming me for what happened!' Nia thought angrily.

Nia kept on walking, until she tripped over something, she growls in anger, but that subsides when she picks up some thing. She looked at the rock carefully to only relied that it's a red stone.

'I wonder where this came from?'Nia thought.

She stood up and glazed at the red gem, she then points it towards the sun,

'it's so...Shiny'Nia thought.

Nia kept on walking, not aware of the person in front of her, she continues walking, until she bumps into him/her.

"Watch it!" a voice snapped which sounded like a male.

Nia snaps out of her thought, and looks up to see a male. She frowns, the person she bumped into was her cousin's friend.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the one who survived the incident, you ruined my and your family lives" the boy with green hair growls.

"Hmph, your pathetic, no wonder I have a bitterness towards humans." Nia calmly replies.

The green haired boy growls with anger, Nia stands there as calm as she can be, with one hand on her hip and the other straight on the other, her eyes are closed.

"I'm gonna beat you up good" he snarled.

"Good luck with that Ben" Nia said, opening her eyes.

Ben gives an angry yell and charged towards her, Nia simply side steps and with that, Ben goes straight into a tree head first. Nia snickers.

"Your pathetic, I'm wasting my time with you!" Nia hisses.

She starts to walk forward, but couldn't get any further as she was slammed against the tree by the neck, she winches a bit.

"That..Was a big mistake." Ben hisses, tightening his grip on her neck.

Nia growls a bit, gripping his wrist to try and get him off.

"Is that how you treat a girl?" A new voice spoke.

Ben looks around, trying to find the source of the voice. He loosens his grip completely, Nia falls onto her knees, coughing.

"Who's there! Show yourself unless your a coward!" Ben yells angrily.

"Me? A coward?" the voice asks, then the voice chuckles "Your wrong there pal."

"Who are you!?" Ben yells again.

"Isn't it obvious, doesn't that voice sound familiar?" Nia asks in a weak voice.

"Shut up! I should kill you!" Ben snarls.

The figure jumped from the tree, and landed next to them, both look at the figure, Ben's jaw drops, while Nia eyes widen with shock.

'N-no way' Nia thought.

"No way! Sonic the Hedgehog, right?" Ben asks.

"The one and only" Sonic replies grinning.

Nia looks at the tree, then back to Sonic. She touches her bottom lip to find it was bleeding, she frowns a little, she hears a silent snicker from Ben. She looks down and relied that her vision was blurry with tears.

"You ok?"

Nia snaps out of her small trance and looks up at to Sonic who had a bit of concern for her.

"J-just fine" she mutters.

"Your not convincing me kid, we need to fix that lip of yours"

Nia falls silent, Ben smirks.

"And your smirking why?" Sonic asks, crossing his arms.

"Erm...Uh...No reason" Ben stammers.

"Suuure your not" Nia said sarcasticly.

Ben shoots her a glare, Nia starts to stand up.

'Maybe, maybe I should go with him, to get away from my sorry excuse of a family' she thought.

"Alright, you win Sonic, I'll go with you"

Sonic grins.

"Good choice"

Ben looks at the two disbelief, Nia looks at him.

"What?"

Ben falls silent and walks the other way. Sonic looks at the boy with confusment. Nia just shrugs her shoulders.

'My day gets weirder and weirder' Nia thought.
