Perspective- Iceberg the Hedgehog
What had I done to deserve this? For twelve years, I've lived as an orphan in a house with no windows, no heat, no luxuries at all with the most abusive person I've mer. They never told me their name or age, which puzzles me. I can't even tell if this person is male or female, that's how weird they are! Their species is also unknown to me, they must be a cross of hedgehog and cat. Their pelt is dark black shade. The massive size of them scares the heck out of me! It's scary how big and overweight this creature is! What disgust me the most about them is how they wolf down VERY tasty looking food in front of me and leave with just a few crumbs to snack on. I'm starved and I can't take the hunger and abuse any longer! I'm running away tonight so I might be able to find someone who will love me!
"Iceberg!" the large creature whipped me.
I snapped out of my thoughts to notice the wound along my arm where the figure whipped me. I sighed and glanced at the door with thoughts of freedom. I'll be free. Tonight.
Hours passed, and soon enough, the creature had went to sleep. I stood in front of the wooden door, prepared to make my escape but hesitated after hearing a deep growl. I spun around and didn't notice anyone. I sighed and felt the rumbling of my stomach. I guess I forgot to notice my hunger because of my urge to runaway.
I took one deep breath and darted out of the door at full speed. The real world seemed so big and strange! I slammed my eyes shut and continued treading forward at sonic speed until I reached a tree. I opened my eyes and attempted to stop and brake, but I was left skidding forward until I slammed headfirst into the tree. I blacked out from the impact.
"Iceberg? Are you awake?"
I opened my eyes and glanced wearily at Darkness…wait…how do I remember her? I never met her in this timeframe…how do we still know each other, and how do I have the memory of her, Fang, and Aeroslash, but nothing else from the previous timeframe. Darkness's sea blue gaze lit up as she grinned, knowing I was awake.
"You must be starved!" she commented.
"Well…I sorta am…but…"
The smell of warm, tasty food caught my attention. I sniffed the air to try to sense where the aroma was coming from and noticed a bowl of fruits and vegetables varying in color next to a bowl of soup with noodles and various meats. Darkness held a spoon with noodles and meats from the soup and swiftly thrashed it into my mouth. I gulped down the juicy chicken and noodles as Darkness removed the spoon from my mouth and used a fork to pick a piece of pineapple and shove it in my mouth. I licked my lips from the sweet taste of the fruit.
"Do you like that?" Darkness quickly hugged me, "I thought I should cook you something after seeing you laying unconscious and I noticed how scrawny you looked so I thought I'd make a treat and lunch!" Darkness seemed real energetic at the moment.
"What treat?"
Darkness pulled a pie from behind herself, "I know you love pie!"
I licked my lops and sat up.
"Oh…Iceberg…guess what?"
"What?"
"Look at what I found!" Darkness pulled two gems from behind her, one red and one green, "a chaos emerald and sol emerald."
