Chapter 4: Friends
Hillo all!
Sonic: about time you showed up!
Me: don't look at me like that.
Sonic's POV;
It turned out that my journey to find Chip (or Light Gaia) wasn't going to take as long as I thought. As the trees started to thin, I slowed down so I wouldn't attract too much attention, soon enough I saw a large chain link fence lined with concrete at the base. I noticed what looked like an orchard about a mile from where the fence stood, I also noticed that there were a lot of people running around, picking fruit, harvesting crops, and planting seeds. Must be harvest time. I thought as I jogged along the fence, sticking close to the concrete barrier so I wouldn't get shot. Suddenly, I heard a shrill scream ring out from the orchard and saw a little girl fall from one of the highest branches, I sprinted forward, dashing up one of the fences support beams, and ran along the trees, I leapt up and jumped from tree to tree, catching the girl and landing on a sturdy branch about fifty feet off the ground.
"Are you all right?" I asked tentatively, setting her down gently.
"I-I think so, thanks for saving me." She stuttered, the girl didn't seem fazed by the fact that I was a hedgehog, but I wasn't worried about it at the time. "Who are you?" she asked, looking at me with an adventurous curiosity.
"My name's sonic, Sonic The Hedgehog!" I said, giving a thumbs up.
"I'm Rue." Her voice was like music. Suddenly I heard several pairs of footsteps heading straight for us, that's when I saw four peacekeepers with weapons loaded and ready to fire.
"Step away from the girl!" one barked, I just smirked,
"What are you gonna do if I don't? shoot us both?" Rue was shaking her head, worry in her eyes. In answer, the peacekeeper who had spoken aimed her gun at me. You guys never learn. . . I thought as I grabbed Rue and dashed down the trunk of our tree.
"Catch me if you can slowpokes!" I taunted as I sprinted away. Suddenly, I heard a familiar sound of wings beating next to me, and I looked to my right to see my magenta and white- colored friend flying along beside me.
"Long time no see Sonic!" he said as I slowly came to a stop.
"It's a good thing you showed up buddy, 'cause egghead's stirring up trouble again." I set Rue down near a seemingly empty neighborhood. "Will those Peacekeepers come after you?" I asked Rue.
"No, but you two should really get out of here before they find you." She sounded worried for me.
"Don't worry about us, you just make sure you stay safe, ok?" I asked as I started to walk away.
"I will!" she said as I dashed away, Chip following close behind.
Me: there, happy now?
*an arrow whizzes by my head*
Katniss: I would suggest you find more time for us, or my next arrow is going to end you!
Me: meep
