I stared at him in complete silence. He sighed shaking his head, then turned back up to the tree.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me! I can see it on your face." He said throwing his hands up in the air, I took a step back as I watched him

"You know what. I'm going to go, but I'll be back with some very nice men with a very big net." I said calmly then ran as fast as I could away from there, I panted after running five minutes. Noticing that I wasn't being followed I started to walk through the shrubbery, I pushed back a branch and then gasped. I was back in the same clearing with Sonic, he chuckled then turned to me.

"You're never going to make it out of here unless you have a guide." He said walking closer to me, I stepped back then turned around and ran again, another ten minutes later I was back in the same spot as before! I was shocked. How did I keep getting back to the same spot? Sonic was leaning against a tree drawing in the dirt with his foot.

"Well this time you went a little farther. But at this rate you'll be back home in about…two years? Maybe one if you keep up the pace." He said straightening up, I gasped for breath as I stared at him in amazement.

"How? Why do I keep coming back?" I asked exasperated with going in circles. He laughed softly then answered.

"That happens to everyone who comes this deep in the woods. This part of the wood is enchanted with a roundabout spell, no matter where you go, you always end up back at your starting point. That is unless you have either another fey or someone who knows the tricks of the forest." He said with a small wave of his hand, I placed a hand on my hip.

"Then I guess you know how to get outta here?" I said as he gave me a wink.

"Yup! Come on I'll take-" He began to say when he began to pale, he suddenly shoved me into a bush clamping a hand over my mouth. I was about to start screaming and thrashing against him when he began to whisper

"Keep quiet! Someone's coming. Here this should help you see. Stay low. I'll be back." He said furiously as he scratched the dirt and flecked it in my eyes then got up and walked into the clearing again. I rubbed my eyes madly. I was going to get that hedgehog when I saw him. I wasn't exactly sure what he meant by help me see and whether this person was a big danger but even if this was a trick or he was serious, I just stayed quiet. But I didn't stay in one spot. I flipped over and as slowly as possible I crawled on the ground towards the bush earning scrapes and scratches. Forgetting to stay quiet I gasped at what I saw, standing in front of Sonic was a man. He had thick ebony hair that tumbled on his shoulders, piercing silver eyes and cutting smile.

" Good Evening your majesty." Sonic said as he swept a bow, the man nodded his head then looked around the small clearing.

"What is your purpose of being here, hedgehog?" He said his voice was perfectly melodic and enchanting, Sonic's eyes widened for a moment

"Oh! Well you see I was making sure that the roundabout fey are doing their jobs, and that everything was in order." Sonic said quickly as he glanced towards me, I wanted to get up and introduce myself but something kept telling me not to move at all.

"Hmm, then why do I sense another's presence?"

"That's-that's Ralts! He- he was here a moment ago but left when he heard you coming." He said quickly covering up as the man stared at him, I held back a gasp as he stared right at me.

"Everything seems to be in order. Don't fail me, hedgehog." He said then walked into the deep forest, the second he was out of my sight I started to get up. Sonic's hand shot out motioning for me to stop. He was already gone, why wait? I thought to myself but after a moment Sonic grabbed my hand.

"That was too close." He said sighing as I brushed the dirt off my pants then shoved him in the shoulder.

"Why did you put dirt in my eyes! And who was that?" I asked furious, this day was getting freakier and freakier every moment.

"For your information that was the King of the Unseelie court! Or in simpler terms the fairy king. And I didn't flick dirt in your eyes! It was an enchanted soil, it allows you to see the fey. If I hadn't done that it would have looked like I was talking to nothing." He said with an exasperated sigh. I stared at him slowly starting to believe him when I was suddenly shocked when I saw something fly in front of my face. It was a little person with dark brown skin, deep green hair and was wearing red shirt and pants made from leaves. I took a step back with my hand flying to my mouth.

"Ralts! Don't scare her!" Sonic scolded as he grabbed the little fairy and sat him on his shoulder.

"Well I was just going show her you were telling the truth!" He said his voice so high pitched and squeaky it sounded like nails being scratched across a black board.

"I…I…Ithink I believe you know." I said starign at the both of them, they looked up at me. Sonic smiled softly at me then walked over to me.

"Come on. I'll get you outta here. Ralts, watch my back, will ya?" He said as I let out a yelp as he picked me up.

"What are you-"

"Well don't you want to get back home? Besides, months might have passed by while we were standing here." He said as he began to run though the thick forests.

"Months? It's only been ten minutes!" I said confused, but he just chuckled.

"It might seem like minutes but actually time in the fey world and the human world change. Sometimes a few hours can pass and it will only be a few minutes in the human world. Or a few minutes can pass and years will have flown by in the other world. It's tricky, but I'm pretty sure only a few hours have gone by." He said as we came to a stop, as he set me on the ground I noticed it was completely dark. But I could see the kitchen light coming from my house, I turned around with a grin on my face.

"Wait! Why don't you escape now?" I said looking around us, as Sonic sighed shaking his head.

"Yeah, but I can't. This collar binds me to the forest, so I litteraly can't leave. But do me a favor. Could you send a message to my friends saying I'm alright and that I'll be home as soon as I possibly can. Their names are Tails, Knuckles, and and…dang it. I can't really remember her name. When you spend a lot of time with the fey you start to forget the people you love. I think her last name is Rose, I think I'm not sure-" Sonic said taking my hands as a tear slipped down his face, my heart broke for him. He missed his friends badly but couldn't contact them himself.

"I'll do it! I'll call them up, I'm sure one of the friends you mentioned will know her name and give me her number." I said with a small smile.

"Thank you. Thank you so much. If you ever need me just knock on the wood of a tree , say my name and I'll come. But you have to be standing against the tree if you're in the city or somewhere else away from the forest. I have to go, Bye. And good luck." He said then ran back under the cover of the woods. I sighed then walked back to my house, I walked in through the kitchen door to find my mom sitting at the table with a cup of coffee in hand.

"Where have you been?" She asked the agitation was easy to hear in her voice.

"I…Uh…Umm…I went for a walk." I said not sure how long I was gone and how much trouble I was in.

"So you took a five hour walk until midnight? Anita, you have to be careful. You know not to be in the forest at all, especially at night." She said her voice rising, I bit back a retort and nodded my head.

"Yes mam. I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I'm going to bed." I said then quickly ran upstairs before she could ask more questions. My head swam as I took everything I had learned today. One. Fairies are real. Two. Sonic the hedgehog isn't dead or missing. Three. I might be going crazy…

Hi everyone! I'm such a dummy! I just expected everyone to know what the fey is. You see I love the Sonic franchise, but...I am in love with Fairies! Seriously, I know a lot more than I think I should... Hehe. Anyway slow updates on littler stories but I will be updating on Rekindled Friendship soon. Please, please, review, review! ~God Bless!~
