Chapter 3: Sonic

A few days passed, the forest continues to look alive and peaceful. As Mephiles walked through his rose garden, he couldn't help but to notice that his hands were vanishing and re-appearing again. He frowned at this, but his frown quickly vanished as he heard someone sing. With a grin on his face, the nightmare followed the sound of the singing voice.

As he reached an area of the garden that was surrounded by blood-red roses, he saw a young man with a music sheet on his hand. His voice was beautiful, something the nightmare had never heard.

But soon, the singing came to an end.

The young man turned around as he heard someone clapping from behind.

"Bravo. An exquisite performance."

The young man smiled, "Thank you."

"You have a magnificent talent. What is your name young man?"

"I'm Sonic, sir."

The nightmare nodded and looked ahead, "Ah, it seems your voice has brought you a new audience."

Sonic looked over his shoulder and noticed how villagers came his way, "It appears so…"

Taking advantage of the singer's distraction, Mephiles softly blew on the music sheet, changing the lyrics completely. "Sing, Sonic. Sing and show them your talent."

Sonic looked back at the stranger. With a smile he nodded, looked down at his lyrics and began to sing.

But something was wrong.

The lyrics, they were dark and twisted, yet Sonic couldn't stop singing. He sang, he sang a twisted melody and the people that had arrived to hear him soon covered their ears in pain.

Hours passed, days passed and Sonic continued to sing. By now his voice was dry and because of it his singing was now more unpleasant to the people. Sonic tried his best to stop but simply could not. Then, as he gasped for air his eyes became pale and a strange mark appeared on his hand.

The blue Diamond of the playing cards.

It wasn't long before a twisted grin formed on his face as he began to love the sound of his voice. The people begged him to stop his twisted song, but he wouldn't.

By now, Sonic believed that his voice was loved and that the people needed his voice. As he came to the last verse of the song, a gunshot was heard and the twisted voice was no more.

The people then left, indifferent of what had occurred. Once they were gone, Mephiles approached the body of the young singer that now rested on the grass as blood poured out of the left eye wound.

"My, are you finished already?" the nightmare said in a sarcastic tone, "Good."

He then threw the gun behind him.

And as he walked away, a blue rose bloomed on the bullet hole of Sonic's eye.

Mephiles soon felt the new energy in his body and quickly made the body of the singer disappear.

**Oook, so how was this? I hope it was ok and if it wasn't please no harsh comments.**
