New story! And it's the first story for Sonic the Hedgehog that I've written that isn't a parody.

So, I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog.

So please read, review, and enjoy.

Sitting in a large oak tree with a radio listening to the news report, Sonic paid close attention. He normally did not listen, but lately, he had been. He had to find out where he could go for a far length run, something he had not done in a while and it was getting to the point of killing him from the energy being in his legs. It was hard to go on anywhere for an adventure with all the fires, earthquakes, monsoons, and every other kind of natural disasters except for the ones that involved the wind happening everywhere. Turning off the radio as he stood up on the tree branch, Sonic thought about what possibilities could be causing the weather problems. "I wonder if the Eggster has anything to do with why the weather's so wacky," he thought, "because I wouldn't put him past it for his latest plot to try to take over the world."

Hearing a rustling noise mixed with the sound of quick breathing, Sonic gave a puzzled look and jumped out of the tree. Looking around, he was lucky to have his quick reflexes as a teenage girl burst out of the bushes and nearly barreled him over if he did not stop her. Seeing a frantic look and terrified light blue eyes on her face, Sonic questioned with concern in his tone, "Hey, hold on a second. What's wrong?"

"Please! You have to help me!" the girl frantically begged and Sonic could not turn down anyone in need of help…especially one this desperate.

"Okay, okay. What is it?" he questioned and she pointed a shaky hand behind her.

"Them! They're after me!" she answered and he looked in the direction she was pointing.

Seeing some sort of shadowy creatures coming their direction, Sonic gave a determined look as he scooped her up in his arms and instructed, "Okay, hold on to me tight. Things are about to get EXTREMELY fast."

Feeling the girl's grip on him get tighter as she nodded, he began to race through the trees, occasionally glancing over his shoulder to see how close their pursuers were to catching them. Giving another burst of speed as one of the shadow creatures popped out near him, Sonic broke out of the trees into the sun. Skidding to a stop, Sonic watched as their pursuers retreated into the trees and set the girl down. "Well, I lost them," Sonic informed as he faced her, "now then…are you okay?"

Nodding, the girl answered, "I'm fine. Thank you."

Looking over her now that she was finally calmed down, she had short shoulder length dirty blonde hair, a thin figure, and wore an outfit that was slightly co-coordinated to match the colors associated with air. Noticing her quickly cover a silver bracelet with a wind design on her right wrist, Sonic gave a suspicious look and interrogated, "Okay. Who are you and what's going on? And who or what are those things?"

Sighing, the girl looked at him and explained, "Okay. My name's Annabelle and they're after me because I'm an Elementalist."

Okay, so there's the first chapter.

So, hope you liked it and please review!
