My story writing break was longer than I expected it to be. Anyway, yeah, copyrights: I don't own anyone you recgonize from an offical Sonic game, these people belong to SEGA. I do however, own Kaity the Chameleon. Waffle the Fox is copyright to Waffle the Fox and Snow the White Tiger is (C) to Red-Red (Her deviantART name). Even though Waffle, Snow and SEGA characters aren't in this chapter, I just wanna get all the copyrighting outta the way. So, this chapter is mainly about Kaity, so if you don't like her, the back button is right up there.
Chapter 1: See What isn't There
Kaity's eyes snapped open; someone or something was in her room. She had heard it come in. She at first dismissed it as the apartment creaking, but after awhile, the heavy breathing gave it away. At that point, she'd decided to act like she was asleep, but when it actually got onto her bed, that, she decided was long enough to wait. However, she didn't expect to see what her eyes showed her. A hedgehog, orange with yellow streaks looked at her with pleading sapphire blue eyes. Whoever this was, wanted her to do something, she could lip-read; which helped because this hedgehog didn't make a sound. 'Help me.' He said, and anyone could see why, the thing was on fire! Kaity jumped away from the hedgehog, but got her feet tangled in her purple cover and hit the ground with a THUD. The flaming hedgehog, still on the bed, looked over the edge at her, his eyes and mouth still pleading for her help. He climbed off the bed and stood over the chameleon. He reached down, and grabbed Kaity by her shoulders and pulled her into the air; again, 'Help Me.' came from his mouth. The flames that covered the hedgehog passed from him and over the chameleon. He dropped Kaity to the ground and grinned evilly; 'Thank you.' He mouthed and left as quickly as he came.
OoOoO
Kaity stared, stunned at what had just happened not weather this was all a dream or not, the fire that covered her burned but didn't penetrate her skin. She stood up, and the fire spread to the whole room, but stayed within the room, despite the open door. The flaming chameleon stood there, the fire hurting her, but never burning through. The walls, eventually, burned the paint off and slowly started to collapse. Kaity noticed this, and moved away from the nearest wall. She thought about getting out of the room and getting help, but would happen? Would any room or place she went into set fire? She tried to decide this as the room around her crumbled to the ground. All at once, the ceiling above fell. Kaity ducked down, blocking her head from the impact with one arm, her eyes closed tightly. She sat in that same position, waiting for the impact, but nothing came. She opened her eyes and found nothing on fire; everything was how it should be; including herself; she was no longer a flaming chameleon, she was now a normal not-on-fire chameleon. "What happened?" she asked herself. 'Was it a dream? No, too real for a dream. But there's no other explanation for it all.' She answered her own question. She didn't press the matter any farther, coming to the final thought that she was just tired. She crawled back into her bed, grabbed her blanket off the ground and slept fitfully for the night.
Super short chapter, sorry people. It's a bit hard for me to start out with a good first chapter...
