Chapter 1
As I sit on the branch of the tall tree, I hear something rustle in the leaves. When I turn around, I sigh silently. There he is, the annoyance. There, standing on the branch next to me, is that blue idiot that calls himself a hero. Sonic, they call him, he's saved the planet from impending doom many times before. "What do you want, faker?" I say, clearly aggravated by the tone of my voice. "Oh, I just wanted to stop buy and say hi, Shads," He says. "I've seen you sitting on this tree looking gloomy a lot, so I came to cheer you up." A sudden wave of rage sweeps upon me. Have I mentioned before that I have a short temper? "I'll show you how to cheer me up!" I yell while I thrust a side kick into his ribcage, sending him crashing onto the ground from his branch. He lays on the ground for a moment in a crippled position, and I think I hurt him. Good. Serves him right for being a little brat for all these years. After a few more seconds he stirs, and stares at me with an expression that looks like it's mixed between sadness and anger. Then he gets up, clutching his side with a twisted face obviously showing agonizing pain and jumps back onto the branch. We're not too high up, so it's an easy jump. He scowls at me an then unexpectedly launches a hard punch into my face, which makes me stagger and fall, but I skillfully land on my feet. I'm pretty sure that knocked a few teeth loose, considering he clocked me in the mouth. Now I'm angry. I jump and shove him off of the branch, and then start going ballistic on him. Don't blame me, my mind makes me do crazy things when I'm mad. I keep punching and kicking as hard as I can, my overloaded mind wanting me to finish off the hedgehog. He's bleeding, some of his teeth knocked out and his face bloody. He occasionally weakly yelps in pain, "Stop! Please!" But I ignore him and keep smashing. What next stops me isn't my mind, but it's the twerp's pesky girlfriend, the pink hedgehog named Amy. How I hate the two of them, so idiotic. The both of them combined, it makes me want to gag. They have joyful and carefree lives, but mine is locked up with fear, and hate, and longing. How I long to be like them, not a problem in the world. But no, my past has sealed me away to an eternal torture, a destruction of one's soul.
She slaps me in the face after seeing her boyfriend. I stumble backwards away, and wow! Look at that! She's crying now! How nice. I've never cried before, and I never will. I've eliminated all my emotions except for fear, anger, and jealousy, which thus forbids me to cry. "You monster!" She screams at me, while I inch back farther away, waiting to make my escape. "Oh Sonniku," She coos, and I feel like I'm going to be sick. I hate romance, and I cant handle it. Ever. All that nasty kissing and other things make no sense to me, and rarely I feel something that I just can't put my finger on what it is. It sucks up my thoughts like a void. I don't understand, do I want to love? Or is it something else? That is one thing I do not know. She starts kissing his blood caked face and that strange sensation comes over me again. I watch her half guide, half drag the cobalt hedgehog towards the city, of course to the hospital. She over reacts too much. It's probably only a few broken ribs, and maybe a nose. Nothing too bad. He's survived worse. I trudge back to my apartment also in the city after the puny brawl, feeling rather contempt about beating that pest up. When I get to the apartment it shove my hands into my jeans pocket, pull out the grubby keys, and unlock the door. My place is very neat and modern, with quality items that liven the place up, though it's the exact counterpart of my personality. I have a two-story apartment, with my large room being on the second floor. I walk up into my room and kick off my shoes. I turn on the TV and plop on my comfy bed. It's on a news report and my ears perk up. It's about Sonic. Jeez, this fast? "And now for some breaking news," The news anchor says. "Emerald City's own hero, Sonic the hedgehog, has been seriously injured. To you, Hank." "Thanks Martha. I'm here live on the scene with Sonic himself now, but he's asleep. Sonic has sustained serious injuries, two broken ribs, a wrist, and his jawbone, and minor external injuries such as bruises, cuts, and scrapes. Here is an eyewitness report." Oh great, her. And the screen goes to Amy. "I saw it myself," She exclaims, "Shadow the hedgehog was destroying my Sonic! He was punching and kicking him and hurting him! Hunt that horrible guy down and put him in jail!" She's screeching and crying with that stupid voice of hers."All right! Sonic is awake, folks. Let's interview him." Hank says. "Huh? What are you doing here dude?"Sonic asks. "We're here to interview you. So Sonic, what exactly happened to you?" Sonic seems to be pondering something, then answers. "I dunno what you're talking about," he shrugs. "I was sitting in a tree then I fell. Amy must just be nervous." I was so shocked that he said this, that he, the numbskull he is, would actually defend me! I angrily turned off the TV and threw the remote to the floor. That idiot! I don't need him to defend me!
