Chapter 4: Sonic
The black horse was a mare with mechanical parts. Wait, a horse with mechanical parts? That's odd. I looked at Shadow to see how he was handling this whole situation. He seemed to be in a state of shock? Fear? I had no clue what state he was in, he was just staring at the rider. She was a wolf, just as I am a hedgehog. Her fur was brown and gold, and she had gay-blue eyes. Her long hair was in a pony tail, and she had a cowboy hat on. She wore army jeans and boot, and wore a brown vest. She had belt lined with all the possible weapons you could carry. A scar ran beside her right eye.
"Are you going to answer my question or not," she said in a strict tone.
"Sure, why not," I answered, "I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. The red and black hedgehog there is Shadow. That's Tails. Over there is Knuckles. The couple over here is Blaze and Silver. There is Marine. And that's Rouge. We're trying to stop Eggman. I don't think you're one of Egghead's drones."
"Hmm. So, you're not enemies. Come with me then, you need a safe place to rest. By the way, my name is Volki."
Volki turned her horse and started a light trot to the right. Since we had nothing better to do, we followed.
Chapter 4: Shadow
We were walking for about half an hour till we got to a camp site. There were six brown tents there and a putout campfire in the middle. All the tents seemed to be an average size except for one. It was larger than the other tents, and was the size of a barn. There was no one in the camp except for us.
"I don't mean to be rude but, where are the people that live here?" Blaze asked, "Surely you don't need this many tents for one person."
Volki looked sadly at the ground.
"They all died," she answered.
"What happened?" asked Rouge.
"It doesn't matter. You could stay here. Each tent is enough for a pair," Volki said.
I looked at how sad she was. She needed company.
"If each tent is good for a pair, then I shall stay with you," I declaired.
Volki didn't refuse. Her horse walked right into the barn tent. She led me into a tent that was closest to the barn tent. Inside I was finally able to talk to her. But of course she started first.
"Who are you?" Volki asked.
"I believe you've already been told, I am Shadow the Hedgehog." I answered.
"That is what you're called. I asked who you are."
"I'm the ultimate life form, created in Doctor Gerald Robotnik's lab more than 60 years ago. I never age and I am immortal. I can use caos energy with ease. Anything else you want to know?"
"So you're a creation. 60 years ago, eh. You're older than Eggman. Means you can't be one of his creations."
"You didn't answer my question."
"Oh, yes. Umm. No that's about it."
I smirked. "Well then, it's my turn to ask the questions now."
"Very well then. Fire away."
"What happened to the people that lived here?"
