Author's Note: Like I said, I would tell you what characters I own. Grandpa Sonny, Alex's grandfather is one of them. And no, Alex is NOT the same guy from Jeopardy. Who comes up with these ideas? o_O
Chapter Three:
What is the Truth?
Alex's P.O.V.
"What-" I asked, confused.
"Don't worry," my grandpa said. "You're not going insane."
I laughed. "Believe me, that's the last thing I'm thinking about."
"You're probably wondering why I'm here then," he observed.
"You could say that," I mumbled. "But why are you here?"
"I'm here to help you," he replied.
"Okay," I said slowly. "How?"
"Well first off, I'll answer almost any question you ask me," he answered.
"Okay," I replied. "Why am I here?"
He sighed. "You are here because of something that is going to happen soon. Don't ask me, I can't tell you," he added, after seeing the look on my face.
"Will Kory come here too?" I asked.
"It depends," he answered.
"On what?" I questioned.
"On whether she wants to or not," he told me.
"What! Don't I get a choice?" I shouted angrily.
"You do, but not right now," he hung his head. "Alex, what is going to happen, cannot be helped. You need to be here, not anywhere else, otherwise," he stopped.
"Otherwise what?" I asked.

Sonic's P.O.V.
"Sonic, who was that shouting?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know," I answered. "But it sounded like Alex."
We walked up to his room, and heard voices. "Did anyone come up here with him?" I asked.
"Not that I know of," Shadow answered.
"Otherwise all life will come to an end," a voice said.
"But-" said another. I could tell it was Alex. "NO! I'm not going to be used! Who are you really!"
"Alex," the voice said. "I am your grandfather."
"No you aren't!" he shouted. "My grandfather died years ago! Tell me, who are you!" We both heard a metallic sound, as if a sword was being drawn.
"Put that away," Alex's grandfather said. "You can't hurt me. But if you really want to know, then let me tell you what I know. You last saw me on a Saturday, and we walked to the park like we usually did. Then that night, I got ready to go to a wedding. When I left, that was the last time you ever saw me. Alive at least."
"Then how are you solid right now? If you're not alive?" he asked.
"I'm one of seven certain people who protect something that cannot fall in the wrong hands. Because if it does, then all will be lost. It all depends on you, Alex. Choose now, and accept your destiny," the grandfather said.
"I-I can't decide now," he told his grandfather. "I'm sorry."
"I understand," the other man said. "I'll leave now."
"Wait," Alex said.

Alex's POV
"Yes?" Grandpa asked.
"Grandpa Sonny, will you come back?" I asked.
He paused. "Yes," he said finally. "But not right now. You need to have time to think. Maybe you will choose soon. I hope you do. Before another comes."
"Who-" I began.
"I can't tell you that," he responded. "Goodbye Alex."
With that, he vanished, leaving no trace of him behind.
.oOo.
Sonic's POV
"Who the Hell is Alex?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know," I replied. "But whoever he is, he needs our help."
"I don't think we should tell him about what we saw, Sonic," he replied.
"I agree," I said.
"So what do we do?" Shadow asked.
"Act as if nothing happened," I answered.
What is going on? Who exactly is this Grandpa Sonny? Is he really who he claims to be? And what about those "seven certain people" he was talking about?
Will Alex choose the correct choice? Is there even a correct choice? So many questions, but so few answers. But when we do get answers, we are only left with more questions. (Kind of like something else I know about. God and Jesus).
Author's Note: Like I said before, reviews are appreciated, but flames will be eaten by my pet baby troll. Heh heh. He loves to eat flames. (And people too). O.O JK! But go ahead. Push that button. It won't kill you-at least not that I know of. Sure, someone may have had a heart attack while clicking the review button, but that's their heart. Not yours. So far, 74 people have read, or at least looked at this story. Not the best story I have out there, but I hope it gets up there. ^.^ God bless you all.
