Chapter 1
"Amy, you're twelve now. You know what that means." Amy's mother told Amy.
Amy nodded. She knew that when a slave was twelve years of age, he or she would be taken from the farm that they were born and raised at to a slave auction. The thought of being separated from her mother sadden Amy.
The slave keeper of the farm, opened the door and led Amy out. Slaves that refused to follow would be killed before their mother's very eyes. Amy loved her mother and did not want to make her mother cry.
Amy went into the old, cheap slave wagon. The back was never fixed but the front was refurbished almost always. Amy held her tears back as the wagon began to move. Slaves were not allowed to cry. If a slave did cry they would get whipped almost to the point of death.
When Amy got to the slave auction she was led to a cage that held a whimpering blue hedgehog. Amy prayed that the slave's whimpers would not be heard. Amy got in the cage with the hedgehog and he looked up.
"What's going on here?" he asked. "I was exploring my woodland home and I got captured and brought here."
"This is a slave auction. I'm sorry to say... but... you are going to be a slave." Amy told the hedgehog.
The blue hedgehog's eyes widen in alarm. "You mean that I going to be a slave?" he asked.
Amy decided to change the subject. "I'm Amy."
"My mother named me Sonic." the hedgehog said.
"Presenting his royal highness, Prince Shadow the hedgehog." The slave auction owner said.
Sonic's ears pricked up. He pushed Amy aside and looked through the bars of the cage. A carriage that was pulled by beautiful black horses appeared. As the coach pulled to a stop, a black and red hedgehog stepped out of the fancy carriage.
