Chapter 3: Light in the Darkness
I jumped throw the window and landed on the floor of my room. My eyes started to look at its surroundings. Something was wrong. Wallpaper was torn, books scattered across the floor, pillows puffing out feathers. My eyes suddenly moved and gazed at a blue ball.
Instantly, I knew who it was. "Sonic!"
How could this happen? Sonic is too tough to get hurt. I ran to his side. The ball was moving back and forth, then Sonic uncurled and was sprawled out on the ground. He was groaning weakly. I held his head up. There was blood coming from his mouth. His fur was all matted and covered in blood. One of his eyes opened. He mumbled, "Shadow.......?"
"What happened?" I asked automatically.
Sonic started coughing. "It was a look alike. He looked like you. I heard you were staying here, so I came to hang with you. Then.. he appeared out of nowhere. I tried to fight him, but he was too powerful..." Sonic then fainted, he was too weak to say more.
I started shaking him, "Sonic, wake up!" No response. I could see a piece of paper on the table. I got up and read it.
It said:
'Shadow, I knew that you wouldn't be here, but I managed to find a stuffed toy coming here. I love seeing you angry, for I am your enemy. Meet me in the core of the Mystic Ruins at midnight. If you don't show up, I'll destroy everything in my path until I destroy you. Light'
I clenched my fists so hard that blood started staining my gloves. That hedgehog... I WANNA KILL HIM!!!!!!
How dare he hurt my friends?! I'll get him....
I picked up Sonic while grabbing my emerald, "Chaos Control!"
I entered the portal once again. I then fell from it and ran up to the sliding doors of the hospital. I told the nurse it was an emergency, so she took us up to the 3rd floor.
I put Sonic on the cold metal bed as the doctor came in.
I explained what had happened. The doctor nodded and said, "It will be a while until he wakes up. He was hurt pretty badly."
"He'll be alright?" I asked, worried. The doctor nodded once again. He gestured for me to leave.
I walked from the room and left the medical building. I started running and noticed the clock tower to my right. My eyes moved and looked at it. It was 7:45.
Good, it was enough time to catch the train to the ruins and stretch a bit. I looked away from it and started speeding up, heading towards the train station. I was about a couple minutes before I reached the station. I hopped onto the train and sat down in my own car.
"Attention passengers," the driver said through a speaker. "The train ride will take 3 hours before we get to our destination. Thank you."
Three hours, it'll feel like three minutes! I lay down on the seat and closed my eyes. Before I knew it, I was dazed off in an easy sleep.
=====
My nose twitched as I woke up. I heard the driver talking again.
"We have arrived at our destination. Please exit the nearest door," then the announcement ended. I stretched my arms and yawned. I hopped onto my feet and walked out of the train. It was nighttime. I looked at a clock that was on the train before it left. It was 11:00.
I have one hour to get ready.
I ran to the core of the ruins and started stretching and training. It seemed like a few minutes before a dark figure started to approach me.
