Chapter 2
Sun shined through the hospital room, muffled sounds of Birds chirping and cars passing filled the room. The wall's were white, their was a picture of a vase on the right hand side of the room. On the hospital bed was a gold color hedgehog, his form was quiet unique, his top 2 spines pointed up while the others pointed down. At the tip of each spine was a diamond shape colored in light blue. Unlike other hedgehogs in mobius he also had spines the went passed his his head kinda like hair; it spiked upwards then slanted forward likes bangs, just like his back spines they also had the diamond shape colored light blue. Outside the room you could hear the voice of a doctor talking about his body sturureand stuff that was wrong with the hedgehog.
"So is everything going to be okay doc"
"Yes, as long as he doesnt go into critical condition then everything will be fine"
"that's good"
"Yes, but its been 6 days since you brought him to us, his state of comatose is very rare, we don't know when he will awake or rather him waking at all. All we have to do is wait and wish for the best"
"Did you find anything about him Doc"
"Sadly no, but the police are still looking in it"
"that's good, we're also doing are part as well, Today Shelby is going to come over and keep an eye on him, see if anything changes"
"Ah, young Shelby, well then I'll will make sure that we have the nurses know that she will be here"
The voices seem to dim out until everything became quiet.
*four hours later*
SHELBY'S POV
Today is day 6th since we found the mysterious Gold hedgehog. his features astonished me, its like his body produces a life energy. His spine structure is also unique. Ever since the day we found him he had nothing but a strange looking emerald, I think sonic and Tails know something about it but its utter confusion for me. I remember the day when Cream came running through the room, she had a major panic attack. She told us that she found a guy who was bleeding and she was afraid to do something. Of course with Levi's sick stomach he came alil i'll with the thought of blood LOL. But when I saw this mysterious hedgehog I could sense great sorrow from him, idk if it was me or something but it was like he been through great pain.
I put down my notebook and looked at the hospital bed. Something about this hedgehog made me feel weird, like he was like me. I was teleported to mobius with the help of chaos emeralds cause mobius was in trouble at that time, I come back at sometimes to visit but I had this strange urge that something was going to happen so I had to come back. I stood up from the chair and walked over to the bedside; the sun reflected off of my glasses as I approached. I looked at him, he seem normal, his face had a scare on it as if he got in a fight. As I continue to study him the sun beam on his chest;his white patch of fur seem to hide something. as I reached for his chest I realized that his fur was really hiding something
"whats this" I asked quietly
I grabbed the object, it was a locket; nobody would of figured that he had something around his neck cause his fur matched the chain. The locket was circle shaped. I was about to open it then I heard something. I looked at the monitor, his heart rate started to rise faster and faster, I looked back at him, I continue to open the locket.
"Lets see..."
His eyes open fast, he grabbed my arm and twisted it backwards; pain coursed through my arms as I leaned forward, normally I could break out of this grab but his sudden actions caught me off guard. I looked up and saw the hedgehog circle around on the bed and nailed his foot in my face; I crashed into the chair as blood dripped from my face. He stood on the bed panting heavily; I stood up and ready myself for a fight but then the door flung open with doctors rushing in. They held needles that would tranqulize him as they approached him. The hedgehog, This creature, his fight style was precise as if he was trained to have no mercy. As the doctors tried to tranqulize the hedgehog, he parried their attempts snapping arms out of place or using their own needles against them.
"wait don't" I screamed, "your only going to get hurt"
the remaining doctors and nurses backed off as the hedgehog stood on next to the bed, he still breathe heavily and looked at a state of pain. He let out large yelps as he started to walk forward; he grasp his chest were his heart was and looked me straight in the eye
JOSE POINT OF VIEW
I looked at these...these creatures; theirfigures were like humans except that they were animals. The blue one, she was a hedgehog, She glared at me, her grey eyes beamed into mine, she wore blue jeans with a light blue T-shirt that had a yellow star on it.
"So what do we have here a freak convention" I said panting heavily, "I didn't know they let the zoo animals run free"
The creatures looked offend at my comment especially the blue hedgehog. The doctors and nurses looked at her and started to back away
"Now Shelby, don't do anything to the patient"
"DON'T DO ANYTHING, WHAT DO YOU MEAN DON'T DO ANYTHING, HE JUST KICKED ME IN THE FACE AND BROKE MY GLASSES AND TOOK OUT FIVE DOCTORS"
I started laughing, She looked at me again but this time her eyes were a different color, they were a dark blue color simalar to mine. She had a cocky smile on her face
"Hey freak" she said, "if they let the zoo animals run free then why are you out"
I laughed even harder, pain ran through my body but I stilled laughed, I looked to the right were the window was and saw something I didnt want to see; A gold hedgehog was standing in my place and it was doing everything I was doing.
"What The Hell" I shouted
At that moment Shelby had a fighting style that was exactly like mine, I knew no one who could of done it cause it was a Jose special fighting style mixed with tai-chi and Judo. She was facing with her body turned to the right, one arm was across her stomach while the other one was up in in a claw position.
"Impossible" I whisper
at that moment she ran up to me, I went in the same position but stopped cause I got a sharp pain through my chest; she slammed her foot against mine and did an uppercut withher palm. I tasted the blood in my mouth as but I knew that it wasn't over cause it was one of the stances to go into a judo throw. Shelby or whoever she was then rounded and elbow my ribs, I felt the full force of the move and bended over alil to the left, she then grabbed my arm and threw me across the room.
"no....way"
The doctors stood in amazement from what Shelby did. Shelby's eye color return to its natural state as she cooled down she didn't like violence but this guy was a walking killer, His instincts were to servilely injure an opponent; That she notice when she mimed his personality and it frighten her alil bit.
"Call sonic right away"
"yes Ms. Shelby"
as the doctors scattered around the room lifting up the gold hedgehog and placing him back on the bed. They strapped him down and lifted the other 5 doctors who suffered his attack. Shelby continue to look at the hedgehog, her face was with disgust as for she hated people like him, people who hurt others without thought. At this moment she learned alot from the hedgehog, she knew that he was trained to be like this as if he has no heart and is going to continue to fight till he dies.
*2 hours later*
Shelby sat on the chair observing the hedgehog, along with her in the room was Sonic the hedgehog, Mile's Tails Prower, Knuckles the Echinda, and Cream the Rabbit. They all waited for the hedgehog to wake; A duck mobain walked into the room, he went by the name of Doctor Quack. He pulled out a vial from his coat and walked up to the hedgehog; The doctor open the Vial and placed it under the hedgehogs noes
"What the hell" groaned the hedgehog
As the hedgehog woke everybody gathered around his bed, the Hedgehog looked up and tried to move but couldn't due to the restraints.
"What the hell, let me go you bastards" he screamed
"I'm sorry but we can't" Said Doc. Quack, "As you see when you awoke you went on a frenzy and attacked everyone"
The hedgehog looked confused then remember something when he looked at Shelby
"HOW DID YOU COPY MY FIGHTING STYLE" screamed the hedgehog
Shelby looked away and crossed her arms over her breast. The hedgehog had an eye twitch but looked around.
"Can one of you freaks explain why I look like one of you?"
Everyone looked at Shelby, she could sense that she was the one that was going to explain something. She sighed but turned around
"You've been teleported from Earth to Mobius were humans and Mobians live in peace, You, a Mobain used to be human on Earth until you were teleported here and the form you are in is based on what you looked on earthSo the way your spikes are was the way your hair was along with color"
The hedgehog grunted
"So since I died my hair blonde with blue highlights is the reason why I look like a banana....WHAT THE FUCK MAN AM I HAVING SOME RETARDED ASS NIGHTMARE OR SOMETHING"
at that moment the hedgehog stopped, something on his mind made him pale white
"HOW AM I ALIVE, I REMEMBER KEITH....THE EMERALDS....THEN...the shot through my..."
the hedgehog stopped at mid-sentence and looked at his chest, their was a bullet scar were the bullet ran through his body. Doc. Quack study the hedgehog he surely acted like he didn't know what what was what. He unbuckled the restraints which made everyone flinch. The hedgehog sat up and looked at Shelby, he made his hand into a fist and stopped.
"So does this mean I'm given a clean slate?"
Sonic looked at the hedgehog along with everyone else, "what do you mean by a clean slate"
the hedgehog shook his head, "never mind"
the hedgehog was silent, he didn't know what to think, his past, suddenly wiped away, no one knows who he is or what he had done. He looked at his hands, his face twisted from confusion to anger. Sonic and company prepared for the worse as this hedgehog made fist; the monitor started to read his heart rate as it increase.
"so...so...so..." whispered the hedgehog
the hedgehog yelled causing everyone to cover their ears, it wasn't a pleasant yell, it sounded with much despair and sorrow.
"somebody calm him down before..." shouted Doc. Quack
the hedgehog stopped yelling, he started to cough, not a usual cough but more like a smokers cough. Blood came out of his mouth as he stared to breathe heavily. Doc quack quickly pulled out a vial filled with a strange liquid; he ran up to the hedgehog and leaned his head back.
"drink this!"
the hedgehog sat their and drank the liquid as the Doctor poured it down his mouth. everyone in the room looked at the hedgehog as he calmed down, he seem to stop coughing blood which made everyone relax a bit.
"so" said the hedgehog as he spit out blood;he had a cocky smile pasted on his muzzle, "It looks like I'm free to go, I'll WON'T be seeing you freaks later so cya"
the hedgehog jumped off the bed and started limping toward the door.
"Hey hey wait" shouted Sonic, "don't leave, why don't you come with us, Shelby has extra room at her house you can stay their"
Shelby looked at sonic with a frown, she didn't want him at her base and he knew it. The hedgehog didn't make an attempt to even listen as he kept limping toward the door. Sonic ran in front of him, it was a blue blur to the hedgehog; shocked he stood their for a few seconds before making a fighting stance.
"hey" shouted Knuckles,"Sonics trying to do something nice for you, why I outta..."
"Calm down Knuckles" said Tails and Cream
Sonic stood in front of the stranger smiling, the stranger dropped his stance and looked at Shelby
"sure" he said with a cocky smirk on his face, "Yeah, I'll take you up on that, free food and a place to crash Just don't fall for the goods She-Bee"
Shelby gave a disgusted face as she scoffed and walked out the door; everyone followed her after that leaving Sonic and the stranger alone in the room with Doc. Quack.
"now" said Doc Quack, "you must take this everyday"
Doc Quack handed the stranger 7 Vials
"this will prevent your heart going into a critical condition, whatever you do don't over work yourself"
"yea yea" said the stranger as he waved his hand up and down. The Doc sighed and left the room as well; Sonic and the stranger stood in the room, Sonic looking at the stranger and the stranger looking down at his locket.
"whats your name"
"huh?"
"Your name, what is it?"
"Why would you want to know!"
"Cause I'm your friend"
"No your not, I don't need friends, last time I had a FRIEND, I ended up back stabbed"
"well I..."
"I don't care for what you got to say"
The hedgehog left the room as Sonic stood their wandering what he did wrong.
*ONE HOUR LATER*
SHELBY'S POINT OF VIEW
"Are you kidding me, why me, why did he have to stay with...me, ugh I'm going to get Sonic back for this. Like come on this guy is a total jerk, the way he talks, the way he acts...his cocky smile that's always on his face, like come on theirs extra rooms at Sonic's place."
*sigh*
I looked back at the hedgehog, he was quiet and looking up at the stars. I don't even know his name for Pete's sake. He seemed different, I don't know how but he was quiet, he didn't say not even a word the whole way walking up to the base, like I thought he was going to complain about the base being in the deep part of the forest but he hasn't said a word.
"Maybe...he's thinking of a plan to get rid of me, or maybe...argh why is'nt he saying anything"
"So..." I said nervously breaking the silent, "what's your name"
I looked over my shoulder to see if he would react, but...he didn't, he seemed sad, alone...I don't understand, he was a raging monster earlier but now he was quiet. I looked forward and as I did I heard a sigh
"my name...is Jose"
"Jose, so he's Hispanic"
"So do you understand Spanish"
I didn't think he would of told me his name, Sonic told me that he didn't even say his name, he just gave him an attitude and when Sonic said he was his friend he freaked out on him. I looked over my shoulder again; he was a good short distance from me and didn't seem to be planning to attack or do anything really, he just looked...sad.
"no...I don't..."
"your parents didn't teach you?"
I was kinda surprised, usually I thought parents would teach their children their native language.
"I was adopted when I was a kid...my real parents didn't want me. My adopted parents were Caucasian but they...."
"but they?"
"UGH WHY THE HELL AM I TALKING TO YOU, I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU FOR STARTERS, JUST....let me be"
I must of hit a nerve, I would of never figure, and to tell the truth i felt sorry...my feelings from earlier were true, he had a terrible pain in him that seemed to eat him from the inside out. I looked over my shoulder for the third time, it was like he was...a different person, he anger slowly left his body.
*****
its been thirty minutes since he last said something. As we approached the based we made a turn were a meadow were flowers never bloomed. their was a cliff the stretched out over the ocean; the tides crashed against its walls as the moon seem so close today.
"stop"
I turned around and looked at Jose, he stood their looking at the unbloom flowers.
"I've...seen these flowers before..."
"That's impossible, these flowers could only be found on mobius, they cant exist on Earth cause of its pollution, Little are knowed about these flowers but their only knowed as..."
"moon shadow blossoms...my mother used to tell me about them, in a book when I was five years old...if one picks one up and has a heart that is pure they blossom in the moonlight, but sometimes they bring great sorrow..."
he stopped in mid-sentence, I was astonished, he explained them in one full shot
"amazing, he heard about them from his mother when he was a little boy"
I watched as he plucked one up from the ground; he stood their staring at it. The moon was full tonight, as a cloud passed it the moonlight shined on the flower that Jose held, I notice a light blue energy coming from his hand flowing into the flower then...a beautiful light blue light shone from the flowers bulb.
"impossible, can the flower really be blooming, never in all the years I have been in mobius have I ever seen the moon shadow blossom bloom before, and he is pure of heart? but what about the hospital, what about all the doctors he hurt or when he kicked me in the nose. When I picked one up before it never did any of that"
I watch as the flower bloomed in Jose's hand, he seemed shocked at first; he dropped the flower and fell to his knees, as he did the other flowers started to bloom. I couldn't help but to stare at the beautiful lights emitting from the meadow.
"why" he said,"I'm not pure of heart...why do I get a second chance at life...why"
I watched as he cried on the ground, he looked like a little boy who just lost his favorite toy
"WHY DO I GET A SECOND CHANCE HUH?! WHY CANT THEY GET A SECOND CHANCE, THEY NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG, BUT ME...I DID EVERYTHING THAT'S CONSIDER A SIN...MY WHOLE LIFE I COMMITTED WRONG AND I GET A SECOND CHANCE....WHYYYYYYYYY"
his cries became into sobs then screams. I walked up to him, i could feel all his pain, all of his sorrow, I didn't know what he was talking about but he must lost something very important to him and from that he must of went down a bad path. He continue to cry and scream, the flowers still remained bloom, at that moment I stopped; Jose started ripping flowers from the ground, maybe...wishing that they would stop blooming.
"Jose..."
Jose continue ripping the flowers from the ground, I didn't know why but I ran up to him and threw myself into the ground and embraced him in a hug. He made attempts trying to push me away but I didn't let go.
"I was wrong about him...he's not a jerk or a monster based on killing, hes just...alone and scared and he seems to push people away who try to help him...maybe it's cause he doesn't trust them....or maybe its just he's afraid that he might hurt them in the long run."
Jose stopped crying and gave in, I stopped hugging him and stood up, I extend my hand to help him up but he pushed it away and got up himself. That made me mad a bit but I guess I'm going to have to give him some time, it seems like he just needs to adjust to everyone. we started walking again toward the base but then I tripped on something
"owwwww"
I tried to stand back up but i fell back down, my ankle had a pain that coursed through my leg
"must of sprained it"
I was about to attempt to get back up but then Jose walked up to me and faced his back toward me
"wrap around my neck" he said as he bended over
I didn't want to but he started lifting me up so I reacted cause I didn't want to fall over.
"just point me in the direction I need to go"
"o.....ok"
"yea...I was wrong about him...wrong indeed, I'm glad that I didn't start to hold a grudge about him, he's really nice but I guess he's also shy, he seems to have a hard time trusting people but I must of got past that barrier abit, he still seems rough around the edges but I'm just going to have to wait and see what happens in the future"
"go that way" I shouted in his ear
"YOU DON'T NEED TO YELL IN MY EAR SHEE-BEE"
I made a small smile
"like I said I'm just going to have to wait and see what happens hehe"
