Faithless~ Chapter 1: Welcome to this World
Arousing from the darkness, the lights overhead dimmed on. The whole colony was soon as bright as it was on Earth, at 6 AM in the morning. This wasn't like our world, oh no, these humans had just come back from a voyage to another gallaxy, from a planet called Mobius. They landed there 18 years ago, it has taken them this long to get back to their home, their Earth. With them they carried antro captives, which after 18 years ago, has become a part of the small colony's community. The scientists, such as the renouned Gerald Robotnik had studied these unknown creatures. They were bright colored, walked on two legs and could even speak, and think. Actually, their planet's technology represented many different eras. There were some, still following ancient ways and others, advanced far beyond humans. The group of scientists captured many young anthros, victim to a last wonder away from home, and others, older than these youngsters, decided to see what this Earth was like, and join the humans on their return home.
Amoung these captives were those like Sir Wolf, an older anthro who decided to join the humans and now working for Gerald Robotnik. Other captives, such as Violet the Hedgehog were captured after wondering to far from home as a young child, but she is now in the hospital, at the happiest point of her life. When these two classes of antros merge, it is not for mear play or hanging out, these two are abruptly separated, segregated if you will.
As the lights soon matched that of the daylight on earth, Violet's eyes opened, and she smiled, feeling so much more secure than ever in her life. All her life on the ARK, she had been running from the one who kidnapped her, hiding in the corners of the ARK, stealing from hall venders or just begging. But three months ago, out of the open, a seemingly angelic echidna took her in with no warning. Metica the Echidna sheltered her, gave her food and even better, more fitting clothes. Soon the two fell in love, although against their usual Mobian ways. They decided that now that they were going to a new planet, like it or not, they'd be able to do what their hearts desired, and so they did. One night, as they held one another, something happened, whether by fate or by plan. Violet's head was just spinning, as she had tried some unusal human drinks, but Metica just smiled as the hedgehog fell under his grasp and fate was decided.
As Violet looked around the room, remembering that fateful night, her eyes drifted to the crib next to her bed. Buried in the covers was a small baby, purple like her mother. Violet couldn't believe she had given birth to a hybrid. She remembered back to her days when she lived with her parents, in her tribe, and how mating or marring outside of the tribe was outlawed. The reflective hedgehog picked up her baby, noting she had her father's fangs and long quills, but her mother's color, small size and eyes.
"Visie." She said as she looked into the small hedgedna's closed eyes, "Visie...the hedgedna." As Violet cuddled the small child, her mind drifted into the other room, as she concentrated on Metica's speaking.
"Congradulations on your sucess Metica, I'm sure the professor will be proud." Violet noted a deeper, more steady voice, not of her husband's...who was he talking to?
"No Sir, you should be the one congradulated, I was glad to take the job." Metica responded.
The unknown voice laughed slightly, "I'm not going to fight with you on this one Metica, you met a stranger and now look what you have completed, I'm glad I picked you for the job, I'll take her in about a month. Er....it is a girl right?"
"Yes Sir, she has my fangs and I'm sure her mother's eyes, she's so...." Metica was cut off.
"Ya, ya sounds great, I'll take her in a month."
"Take her? Sir-"
"That was the deal Metica, what don't you understand? I hired you, you suceeded, now do away with the girl and give me the child, in a month or I'll take her! You couldn't have possibly fallen in love with that whore." The voice came to a haulted question.
"Sir Wolf, I know it seem's odd, but she is a great girl and yes I do love-"
"Well, you can't love her, she'll hate you after what you've done to her, now I'll see you later at my office, don't let that child die...."The Wolf walked into the hall, "Or you will."
Violet was thoughtless, she didn't know what to do. She grasped her baby in fear at what she had just heard. Her newly found lover, it had all been a setup, by one of her own, a Mobian...not even a human, but an anthro like herself. This couldn't be true. She placed Visie back in her crib and covered her up as Violet grabbed her clothes and put them on in a rush, throwing the hospital robe in the corner. Tears streaming down her face, she grabbed her bag and put Visie in it like it was a baby carrier, and ran.
