Jay's escape
I was thinking about home. About my mom and my friends. The green, green grass and rolling hills. It was a beautiful place. But unfortunately this beauty was wasted. Although it may sound and look like a wonderful place you would hate to be one of them. One of the Rapaci. The Rapaci is a tribe of birds that are trained since they are young to fight and rid the world of evil. Although the purpose may be nice, the training is not. It is strenuous and pure torture...I'm glad I ran away.
I suddenly heard the footsteps again which were moving rapidly and broke me out of my day dream/nightmare. I leaned up on my arms and looked at the beautiful forest that surrounded me wondering where it was coming from this time. I stood up and made toward the west.
I came to an opening and peered through the trees and saw him again. He came here everyday and I was starting to get curious. He was what seemed like a very fast blue hedgehog. Everyday he would just run to the field and sit on the cliff at the end of the field and stare out over the forest.
This was the first time I heard he make any kind of noise. I heard a very soft sigh come from him. I could feel that something was bothering him, so I approached him.
I walked up beside of him and asked "Hey buddy. Is something wrong?" I must have surprised him because he jumped.
He hesitated to speak"Oh hey. Um...no not really. Uh...I don't know you do I?"
"Nope. I was just wondering if I could help." Then he was about to speak but stopped. He uttered only one word. "Eggman!"
Then about 20 robots came out of the trees around us. I knew what was about to happen. I got into a fighting stance and got ready to take down these losers.
A robot zoomed toward me. I jumped over its head and landed behind it and gave it a swift kick to the back. I signalled to the other robots to bring it on. Me and the blue hedgehog were so busy fighting the robots that we didn't even notice the robot sneaking up behind him.
As soon as I saw it I punched the head right off of the robot next to me and ran straight towards the robot. I speared him just as soon as he was raising his arm. When he got up I ended the fight with a roundhouse kick right at the robot's head. We looked around at the rubble around us. I was still wondering what just happened though.
The hedgehog looked at me and said "Thanks man. That robot would have finished me off for sure." I just nodded at him and said no problem. Then he continued. "I haven't seen you before. Where do you live?"
"In the woods." He looked shocked. "So you just live in the woods?"
"Yup. Flying solo." I said with just a hint of hope that he'd invite me to stay with him. After a few moments of looking at the thoughtful expression on his face, he caved.
"Listen you saved my life so the least I can do is let you stay at my house for at least one night." After a few fake moments of thinking about it I replied. "Well I'll try to stay out of your way. And, thanks." He smiled and started walking and I started to follow. My first night out of the woods in a long time.
