Sonic awoke with a start, sweating. It had happened again. That dream... it meant somthing.. but what? Sonic thought back to the dream...
(dream) Sonic looked around. He was in a desert, that was for sure.
But if he kept still long enough, he heard water. Finally, he put his ear to the ground and listened. There, far underneith the ground,
was the calm sound of water lapping. Then he heard a crack.
No, he didn't hear it. He felt it.. in the ground. He whipped around to see the ground open up like it was being ripped open. And under the ground was practically an ocean, forming into a hand-like tidalwave. He ran. From other versions of the dream, he knew he wasn't fast enough.
But he still ran. And then it caught him.
But the dream didn't stop.
He was dragged down underwater. He looked up just in time to see the ground close back up. Trapped. Then he fell unconsious.
When he would wake up, he would think that the dream is over. Then he would look around and know it hadn't stopped. He was in a cavern. Behind him, was the water. In front of him was a tunnel with cold mist pouring out. He chose the tunnel. Little did he know he was being followed...
Finally he entered a large cavern. Light shone through the top. Leading up to it was an old, rocky set of stairs. 'Ahh.' he thought ' Now to find the bottom of the staircas-' he stopped in mid-thought. There were at least six different staircases, all of which twisted around and split into more stairways.
His jaw almost reached the floor. Sonic shook his head and gathered his thoughts.
'Lets see.. The first one wasn't it, and neither was the second one..'
He listed off the stairways he had tried in other dreams, and resisted sitting down on a nearby rock. He winced as he remembered what had happened. After thinking for awhile, he figured out that the sixth set was the last one. After running up it for a minute, he came to a crossroad.He ran onto the one leading away from the exit. Never does the right path look like it's going towards the exit.. except this one. (oops, poor sonic! ;;) Sonic suddenly tripped on the end of the stairway(it suddenly stopped) and went flying. He bearly had time to react when he smacked into a wall, rendering unconsious. He fell down to the ground soundlessly.
He didn't feel himself being dragged away. He didn't feel his wounds (you would get some too falling down an over 100 ft drop!) being bandaged. But he didjust bearly hear a voice speak.. "-heartbeat still, so...alive. HopeBlue's okay...has to help us...I don't think...last longer. He'll go back soon...Blue's gotten the clues...us." Inside he smiled. Whoever this was had nicknamed him 'Blue'. Slowly, what little he could hear dissapeared, forming a screech of horror. Thenhe saw a snake-like demon with a dead person in it's jaws, grinning devilly at Sonic, knowing he could do nothing to stop the demon... That's when Sonic woke up.
Sonic looked sleepily at his clock. 7:51... 'At least I didn't wake up too early...'he thought. Just as Sonic was about to get up, Amy burst into the room and pounced before he could yelp in suprise. "SUPRISE! Happy birthday, sonic!"she yelled, with him wrapped in a bear hug. "Ugg..get... offa..meee..." sonic moaned. "Hmmm?"she asked. "I...can't... breathe..."was all he could say. She loosened her grip." I'm sorry Sonic, but I can't help it! 'Sweet sixteen', ya know?" He rolled his eyes. " By the way it's starting?"he declared "It's more like 'sucky sixteen!" Amy smiled and pulled the non-morning hedgehog down to breakfast...
