XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

As they watched the demon that was once their friend disappear, Shadow collapsed. Blaze ran over to help him while Silver went over to Tails, who they had gradually gotten closer to while fighting. The poor fox's fur was matted and sticky with blood. He had a deep gash in his shoulder where he was bitten and his blue eyes had a glazed look. Silver hurried and managed to patch up the wound with the huge leaves the trees had to offer. Blaze tried to help Shadow, but there was nothing for her to do, so she let him go into an uneasy sleep so he could regain his strength.

A noise in the bushes made the hedgehog and cat tense. They relaxed when they saw a familiar red echinda carrying a injured bat. Rouge's wing was twisted in an odd way, meaning that it was probably broken. Knuckles had a huge gash in his left shoulder and his arm was limp.

"Well, this is just great...everyone's hurt and we're stranded here..." He stated with no emotion

"What? No! We can't be stranded here!" Blaze replied, both fear and distress were in her tone.

"Well...umm, Shadow's down and Sonic took his chaos emerald so we can't chaos control, Rouge's wing is broken so she can't fly, Tails's tail is broken as well so he can't fly either, and there's no way I'll be able to fly back to the mansion let alone carry all you guys.." Silver sighed as he sat on a nearby rock.

"Wait, that was Sonic?!" Knuckles yelled, both with rage and confusion.

"Umm..yeah, well his darker form actually.." Blaze replied, a bit sadly

"Oh, he's gonna wish he was dead when I get my hands on him..." Knuckles growled.

"Take it easily will you Knuckles!? It' not Sonic's fault... even if he failed to inform us that he had a dark form and used to be a murderer..." Silver replied flatly.

"Oh great..it's gonna rain..." Blaze sighed.

The sky had turned dark grey and the temperature had dropped a little. The wind had picked up and it looked like it was indeed going to rain, and hard.

"We should probably go find some shelter.." Now it was Rouge's turn to talk, she looked up at Knuckles who was still holding her and smiled playfully.

"Hiya Knuckie" She flirted, making him go red from embarrassment. He then realized that he was still holding the bat and dropped her with a huff.

"Stupid bat" He muttered under his breathe.

"Well that's not a way to treat a lady now is it Knuckie?"

"MY NAMES KNUCKLES! NOT KNUCKIE OR AND OF THE OTHER STUPID NICKNAMES YOU HAVE GIVEN ME!" Knuckles yelled, his face turning redder with each word.

"Oh boy.." Blaze muttered as she shot a glance at Silver.

Silver just shook his head and stood up. He picked up Tails and Shadow using his telekinesis and him and Blaze started wondering through the forest. The arguing bat and echinda eventually followed them.

Before long the rain started to pour hevily, making the group shiver from the dampness. It then continued to pour more and more till it was hard to see through all of it. They eventually approached a small abandoned cottage in the middle of the forest. They were hesitant at first, but the cold eventually got to them and they stepped inside.

They were surprised to find the house strangely cold. Silver put Tails and Shadow down onto a dark red couch which was a bit ripped up. Blaze turned on a lamp which surprisingly still worked and the four looked around. ( A/N Because that's totally what you do when you enter an old, abandoned house :/ )

The house itself wasn't that impressive. The floor was wood, which hadn't been sanded down for a while and everything looked very old and even broken. When you walked in there seemed to be a small living room with a red couch as well as two red chairs that were placed in front of an old fireplace. The room was a brownish orange color. After the living room there was a door which probably used to be white, that led to a kitchen. The kitchen was pretty basic, tiled white floor, cream wals, a stove, fridge, and table with four chairs. There was also a set of stairs, which led down to a basement, they didn't bother to go down there. They went up the cream stairs that were in the living room which led to what the presumed to be two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Rouge found a first-aid kit in the bathroom cabinet and began to treat her wounds. Silver took it from her and carefully treated Tails broken tail. They put a wet cloth on Shadow's head when he started to catch a fever and he didn't have his face scrunched up in pain anymore. Blaze and Silver sat on the chairs exhausted from the fight.

Knuckles was content searching the place still. He entered one of the bedrooms. It was pretty plain, light brown walls, with a queen sized bed in the corner of it. There was a single mirror which was attacked to a oak dresser. He tried to go into the other room and was surprised to find it locked. He found that strange since the house was abandoned and seemed that no one had lived in it for years. Without thinking about it, he smashed through the door, making a worried Blaze run frantically up the stairs to see what was wrong.

"KNUCKLES! This isn't our house! Don't go destroying stuff!" Blaze scolded.

"Whatever. The door was locked and I wanted to know what was inside."

"Well, the door's already down, let's check it out" Rouge said from behind them, scaring them and making Blaze jump a good few feet in the air.

"ROUGE! Don't do that!" Blaze cried as the bat just laughed.

"Relax kitten... let's go inside the room..." She managed to choke out, still laughing softly.

They were shocked at the size of the room. It was about half the size of a regular room and had the similarities of a walk-in closet. The walls were a dark grey, and there was a little "bed", also known as a pile of worn out blankets thrown in the corner with a single pillow which had several rips in it. Knuckles almost tripped over something small and metal and was surprised to see something similar to a food dish. It was then that Blaze noticed a little hole in the door, just big enough for the food dish to slip through.

"They must have had a dog" Knuckles stated.

"Hmm..I don't think so Knucky, the furniture didn't have any animal scent or any sign of hair" (A/N Mobians smell different than regular animals I guess..)

"But they still could have had a pet, maybe they just kept it in here?" Blaze offered.

"No, because there's no animal smell here either." Rouge proved the second theory wrong as well as the first.

"Well then...who's or what's room was this? It was obviously meant for something living, and look around the door on the wall" Knuckles pointed out the several dents in the grey wall, mostly around the door.

The dents could have been from many things, perhaps when the owners were moving furniture out of the room? No, the door had several dents in it as well, the also noticed a few small claw marks, possibly from a child. Rouge also pointed out that none of the dents reached a certain height, which was around the height of a 4 or 5 year old.

"D-do you think they kept a child in here?" Blaze asked, fearing that the answer wasn't yes.

The room wasn't nearly big enough to be a proper bedroom, and you couldn't really even take a couple of steps before coming face-to-face with a wall. Rouge closed her eyes and shook her head slightly.

"They might have, though it might have just been occasionally... even though it still wasn't right to make a poor child be forced to stay in here, even if it was for a short time.."

"Umm..guys...I don't think it was for a short time...and I don't think it was occasionally.." Knuckles said, as he picked up something with a red cover hidden in the mess of sheets. It looked like a book. He looked at the spot it was opened to and read it out loud.

"I don't know how long I've been stuck in here. But I fear to even try to get out. Daddy's drunk again, and his beatings are getting worse and worse...Mommy's been gone for a while...hopefully she'll bring back food, I'm so hungry... Some of my cuts are still bleeding, and some of them are even turning purplish... I'm starting to hear this strange voice in my mind, for some reason it always helps with my sadness...I might be going crazy but, oh well! At least I have a friend now! Uh oh...I hear daddy coming up the stairs now...I pray he didn't bring the bat...hopefully I'll survive to write the next entry...yours truly..." Knuckles trailed off at the end, violet eyes widening as he recognized the name.

"Knucky? Who's it written by?" Rouge asked, desperately wanting to know.

"Olgilvie, Maurice Hedgehog,..." Knuckles whispered, shock written all over his face.

"Well, do you know him or something? Knuckles? KNUCKLES?!" Blaze tried to get him to answer her question, but he was lost in his own thoughts.

"..Sonic..." He whispered and everyone went silent.

~ To Be Continued...

Me: And there ya go!

Shadow: Seriously? Another freaking diary?!

Me: Yes because the other one started being written after he met Tails, and I kind of wanted to do one about his past (Does not relate to my other stories btw)

Blaze: Umm..shall I read the question?

Me: Go ahead!

Blaze: Okay, since the author was lazy and couldn't think of a title, comment your ideas for this chapters title, whoever's title she picks, will get a free commission from her ( See her deviantArt ) of either their Sonic fan character's, or of actual Sonic characters.

Me: I will be doing little contests like this throughout some of the chapters ( though not on every one ) so if you don't get it this time, you'll have another chance! Happy late Easter to those who celebrate it and have a nice day ;3
