The Legend of Sonic, Shadow and Silver
Chapter 7: Secrets revealed.
The sun has set for the day and it was dark out in the desert. Inside the hotel, Silver was in his room on the bed reading his favourite book. He liked it so much that he'd read it over and over again. He then stopped as he then heard something that sounded creepy to him.
"W-what was that?"
Silver then slowly hoped of the bed and walked towards the sound. It was coming from the cupboard that was across from the bed. It was as squeaking sound as Silver heard it again. "AH!"
Sonic and Shadow heard him scream and went rushing to his room.
"Silver do you mind? We're trying to sleep!" Shadow said as he was now half asleep. Sonic rolled his eyes instead of complaining about it.
"Silver what's wrong?" He asked.
"I heard something and it's coming from the cupboard." Silver replied in a scared tone.
"Well open it." Shadow demanded.
Silver was now more terrified than ever. "What? Why me?"
"Well you think there's something in the cupboard that's scaring you. So open it!" Shadow demanded again.
"NO!" Silver yelled back. Sonic didn't want to hear another argument again. Even though they're brothers, this still annoyed him.
"That does it! I'll open it if it'll make you happy!" Sonic told them angrily. Sonic then walked over to the cupboard. He then slowly opened it and made that sound again. Silver was terrified by the sound as Sonic opened it.
"What do you see, Sonic?" Silver asked him. Sonic was relieved that what he found wasn't scary.
"It's just a monster…"
"AH!" Shadow and Silver screamed out before Sonic could finish.
"Costume." Sonic then finished.
"Phew." They both said as they were relieved. Shadow never screamed like that before in his life. Sonic then started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Shadow asked him.
"Well one, that sound Silver, is just the cupboard door and two, I've never seen you scream like that Shadow. How priceless is that!" Sonic explained as he was laughing as well. Shadow was now annoyed. "Ha ha very funny!"
"But Silver has a point there." Sonic told them.
"Really?" Silver said as he was confused on what Sonic just told them.
"Yeah. Something is telling me that this hotel is haunted by the way it looks. We should split up and find out everything about this place." He explained. Shadow and Silver thought it was a good idea.
"Fine by me. You can take scaredy hedgehog here." Shadow suggested as he was implying to Silver.
"HEY!" Silver yelled.
"Shadow, you know you were scared as well. Don't hold the grudge against Silver there." Sonic told Shadow.
"Whatever! Where should we search?" He then asked.
"I'll take Silver downstairs and you go check all of the rooms up here." Sonic explained his plan to Shadow. It was good enough for him as he was doing his part on his own.
"Sounds good to me." Shadow said as he agreed on this. Then Sonic and Silver left the room and started heading downstairs.
"Well I better start checking the rooms. I'll check my room first."
Shadow then left Silver's room. Sonic and Silver had just arrived downstairs to start looking for some clues on this hotel. Sonic then started thinking of where he and Silver should look for the right information.
"Okay Silver. You go check around the whole place down here while I look around the reception desk. Sound good?" He told Silver.
"It's good enough for me. I'll come back to you when I find nothing, or something." Silver replied back but he was confused about what he said by bring something back or come back with nothing. Either way, he stuck by it.
"Will do."
Silver then ran off to start searching. He started checking every spot that looked like a good place for clues but none of them were the right places. It took over five minutes for Silver to check downstairs but had no luck. He then headed back to where they started. Back with Sonic, he started opening and closing every draw and cupboard around him. He then opened the draw at the reception desk and found a dusty diary.
"Hmm… I wonder?" He thought as he started flipping the pages and saw no writing on every page. Sonic was right. There was something strange about the hotel by how it looked like, the old, squeaking cupboards and the monster costume inside.
"No wonder no one has come here. This hotel has been haunted for centuries and the structure of this hotel frightens the guest away before entering. I better take this with me and find Silver." Sonic told himself.
"Don't bother doing that Sonic. I'm right here." Silver yelled out as he turned up.
"Good timing." Sonic said as he sat his thumb up to Silver. "I have something to show you when we get back to Shadow."
"Sweet! Let's go."
Upstairs, Shadow had just come out of another room and found nothing suspicious. This was totally useless for him, staying up looking for clues on this with no point on finding anything.
"Well, I've checked every single room except for Sonic's." Shadow said to himself while keeping up to date on his search.
Shadow then opened the door and walked inside. It looked the same as the other rooms but nothing that concerned him. As he was just about to leave, he heard the squeaking sound just like what Silver heard. Shadow then decided to check the cupboard himself. When he opened, the monster costume inside jumped out and landed on Shadow who the suddenly started tackling it. He didn't notice that Sonic and Silver opened the door.
"Hey Shadow, look what I've…" Sonic stopped as he looked at Shadow with a disturbed look. "What are you doing?"
Shadow then stopped after hearing Sonic's voice and looked at him and Silver. "Um… nothing." He replied slowly. For the first time he was now embarrassed.
"You look like you're…" Silver was cut off as Shadow was now furious of what he was going to say to him.
"Shut up Silver!" He yelled.
"This is the first time I've seen then Ultimate Life Form do something strange." Silver said dramatically.
"I said shut up Silver!" Shadow yelled again.
"And you call me the naïve one." Silver said then started laughing. Sonic then waited for Shadow and Silver to finish another argument. Silver then stopped laughing.
"Anyway… look what I've found." Sonic finally said.
Shadow then stood up and noticing Sonic showing him the diary. "What is it?" He asked.
"It's the hotel's journal, but it looks more like a diary. But anyway, there's nothing written inside, no one stayed here because of the structure of the hotel from the outside plus it was abandon and haunted for centuries." Sonic answered.
"Well no wonder the cupboard looked so scary. There must be old furniture around here as well that makes the creepy sounds." Silver said as he understood the whole thing. Shadow agreed to this as well. The three hedgehogs didn't know the hotelman walked up behind Sonic and Silver. It revealed its shadow then they turned around finally noticing him there.
"So, you guys found out everything about this hotel. Now if you don't mind, hand me the book." The hotelman said and threatening Sonic to give him the book.
"Sonic don't give it to him!" Silver told Sonic.
"Don't worry I won't."
Shadow then thought of an idea as he had something with his supplies. He had to act fast. "Sonic. Lure him downstairs while Silver comes with me to grab something."
"What would that something be?" Sonic asked that what Shadow was referring to didn't sound good.
"You'll find out! Just go!" Shadow demanded making sure Sonic did exactly what he said.
"Okay." Sonic said back.
He then dashed downstairs, leaving the hotelman behind, who then started running down.
"Let's hurry Silver." Shadow told Silver.
"Alright." Silver replied.
Then Shadow and Silver ran out of Sonic's room.
