Slave of Love
Sonic's POV
Maitret. A sunny town at the coast of Spagonia.
Sandy beaches, the warm ocean….
Sounds like paradise, huh?
Well, for most people it was. Luxury mansions, delicious food…
But not everyone could live like that.
There were also the ones, who worked really hard so that the rich people got even more money and could keep on living in luxury. For the wealthy people, they were just toys.
Nothing more…
And I was one of them. One of those, who had to work their asses of while their masters and mistresses lived a comfortable life. One of those who didn't have the freedom they deserve so much more than the wealthy people. One of those who were…'owned' by the rich.
And I was one of them. I was a slave.
Like all the other Mobians who were imprisoned in those little cages.
And they were all over the place. Waiting for someone to buy them so they could get out and might even get the chance to escape. But I knew how hard that was. I tried it myself countless of times.
But I couldn't flee from this place. I was a prisoner. And I would always be one.
I thought back to the times when I was free. When I could run around the place and nothing would bother me.
I was happy. I had my parents and my younger brother. We were inseparable.
Back then, we were living in a huge mansion. But as the years passed, I got a letter saying that I had to join the army. I didn't want to, but I had no choice. So I packed my things and left home. I knew that my family would be sad, but I couldn't say goodbye. They would only try to hold me back. And I didn't need this.
As I arrived at my destination, I was shocked at the sight.
Fallen warriors all over the place and…fire. Big orange and red flames all around me, burning absolutely everything.
I swallowed once and got ready for the next slaughter. I got on my knees and took out my long gun. I aimed at the enemy. And fired.
A few of them fell as the others started running towards us.
So the war began.
Many of my comrades fell and it started to dawn on me that we wouldn't win this war.
So I gave up the fight and fled from the scene as the others were imprisoned.
I felt guilty that I wasn't able to safe them, but I just wanted to go back.
Back to my family.
Somehow, they were able to track me down. They started shooting darts at me. I tried to dodge, but I wasn't fast enough because of my injuries. I grunted as the darts stabbed into my back. My body started to ache, my muscles felt as if they were on fire, I couldn't see or think straight and—
And at that very moment, I blacked out.
As I woke up, I found myself in a metallic cage. But I wasn't alone. Other Mobians were in there, their gazes sad and angry at the same time. But they were quite, staring at the ground. I smelled something and looked at them. They were covered in red liquid.
Blood…
My eyes widened and my heart sped up. I didn't know what to do. I felt so helpless at the time.
I tried to calm down, but it was no use. My vision became black.
The last think I felt was my body hitting the ground.
My eyes slowly opened as I felt something tugging at my arm. It felt as if they were trying to pull it off of me. I stood up, my legs shaking. "Are you sure that he's good? He doesn't seem like he's in a good condition…" a male voice said. "Yeah, he's really fast. We captured him in the war as he was about to escape." another voice told him. The first voice chuckled. "Now then, let's take a closer look at him." he suggested. I was pulled out of my cage as I slowly opened my eyes. I squinted as my face was hit with sun light.
I looked into the face of a man. I didn't know who he was but he didn't seem like a stranger to me.
Next to him was a younger hedgehog. His fur was green, but his eyes were as blue and cold as ice. He had three big scars over his chest and a look of indifference on his face.
He was glaring at me as if he was angry at something I had done, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. "Ahem, Mr. the Hedgehog?" the seller asked. Mr. the Hedgehog?
Wait, wasn't that-?
"Yes?" the Hedgehog replied. "Are you taking him?" the seller asked. Mr. the Hedgehog nodded and handed him a bag with rings. "Here, I think that should be enough." he only said as he tugged at my chain. I limped behind him as the boy snorted at me. "Faster, slave!" he yelled in my ear. I winced as I hobbled quicker. The boy grinned evilly. "Better…" he mumbled and ran to his father's side.
I remembered this day like it was yesterday. I worked quite a few years for them before they sold me to other rich people. And so, my life as a slave began.
I looked up at the people who were surrounding my cage.
Oh, yeah, forgot to mention it: Since I was one of the better slaves, I was put in an area which only the richest people had access to. And they only wanted the best of the best.
I glared at them, but on the inner side, I was afraid. Afraid of what they might do to me.
It wasn't unusual that the slaves were punished. And those punishments were painful. In the majority of cases, the slaves are whipped and punched. But there were other methods too.
I was often punished. So often that I now knew all of them.
But that fact didn't make it easier, but rather more painful.
If you know beforehand what to expect, you'll feel the pain already just by thinking of it.
I felt that someone was staring at me. Normally, I wouldn't be bothered by it 'cause I was being stared at every day. But this time, it felt different. I turned around…
….only to look into the eyes of the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.
Me: Yay, cliffhanger^^
Rouge: Aww man, it was just getting interesting.
Me: Rouge? When did you come here?
Rouge: A few minutes ago.
Me: Oh...
Amy: Grr...Who is that girl?
Me: You'll see. Till next time, folks. techno-cat, over and out.
