Chapter 4
I had no other choice they all tried to leave me. I had to do it, I didn't want to but I had to. Again I'm surrounded by blood. I hated this place; I hated it because I lost my mother. With my head and tail low I walked. I walked until fatigue hit me. A blue hedgehog startled me on the road. His happiness annoyed me.
"What are you talking about there isn't a village only wilderness." He said when I brought up my home town." You're ignorance is annoying me go away." Yet he followed me even after my rudeness saying a kid should respect his elders. I nodded wondering if he ever stopped talking. "Hey, what's your name anyway?" He asked. "Death…" I replied simply. "I'm Sonic…Sonic the hedgehog." He smiled and gave me a thumbs up while winking." Pleasure to meet your acquaintance." I said hostilely. "Why are you so…so hostile?" "Because I am stuck with a hedgehog that just won't shut up and keeps on talking while I try to think!" I snapped at him.
"Well this is amusing." A red striped ebony hedgehog jumped down from a branch, "I was thinking the same thing." He smirked at me making uneasy. "Gee, thanks Shadow." Sonic replied sarcastically." Shadow chuckled coldly. I walked away hoping to get away but they noticed and followed."A kid like you shouldn't be out here all alone; I heard there are thieves here." The ebony one said probably hoping to scare me but I could care less if they tried I'd drink their blood. He saw it had no affect on me and sighed. If only they knew what I did; If only they knew what I am they'd probably burn me or use a wooden stake to stab my heart by now I didn't think I had one." You look hungry; come on Amy should be able to cook something up that doesn't give you food poisoning." Sonic said to me." Asking for miracles Sonic." Shadow replied to his comment making Sonic chuckle. I sighed and went along with them.
We followed a field until we reached a pink cabin with a red roof. Out of all the colors red. I cringed and went inside. It was cool inside and had smelt of roses, well according to Shadow. If I even tried to sniff the scent blood would enter my nostrils and I would turn into an animal." Amy!" Sonic yelled. A pink hedgehog emerged from the kitchen and smiled." Hey Sonic and Shadow." She turned to me," Hello." I smiled, well at least tried to, and bowed," Good day madam." She reminded me of my mother. How she moved hastily and quietly, and how she would always twirl a lock of her hair whenever we had guests over." So you come from a village." She said trying to start a conversation. I nodded and used all the manners my mother taught me to use in the presence of a lady.
I was talked into staying the night there even though I don't really sleep. It wasn't because of nightmare I hardly ever got them even after I saw the fear in the eyes of those that I hurt. I had find out that I could not sleep or feel sleepy and frankly it felt good. I laid there from night to dawn. I was just watching the sunrise when Amy handed me a cup of tea." You're up early Death." "You are too." I replied. She smiled and watched with me, until Sonic saw us and woke Shadow up. "Is breakfast ready Ames." "Yes, it's on the table." She smiled at him. They were in love but they were too shy to say it. The thought of it made me laugh making them stare at me, so I stopped and sipped the tea. "Ok." Sonic said and walked to the kitchen. I saw a black figure outside and recognized it. I saw him in a picture hugging my mother. He was my father.
