Sonic ripped up the poster to shreds. Nobody reads the posters ,right? He heard a gun shot and felt a searing pain hit his ear. He put his hand up to it, and when he looked at it, it was stained with blood. He felt to make sure he still had an ear and sighed with relief when only the tip had been taken off. He turned around to see a grey dog holding a gun. That bastard! He could have taken his ear off!
Sonic: What was that for!?
Grey dog: For killing the king. He was our only hope in defeating the demons. And you murdered him.
Sonic couldn't believe this. He actually believed that he killed his own father? He raised his gun, ready to shoot. This time, he aimed for Sonic's head. Sonic, not liking the idea of being a target, ran off into the shadows of the forest. The dog came running after him but he couldn't keep up and called for more of his friends and they started chasing him. Sonic smiled, his clothes made him blend in perfectly. He climbed up a tree and had to stifle a laugh when the grey dog and is friends looked around below him looking like idiots. He hadn't had some fun in a while so he decided to give up on hiding.
Sonic: HEY! I'm over here!
Grey dog: There he is!
Sonic: -_- Didn't I just say that?
Apparently his remark was only heard by deaf ears as they charged towards Sonic. By now Sonic was at the base of the tree. These guys really are idiots! He though. He waited for the last second before he dodged out of the way. The grey dog and his friends ran head first, really hard into a tree, and if you decide to fight with a tree, the tree always wins. Some of them fell unconscious Some of their heads even got stuck in the tree! Jeez, Sonic thought, how herd were they trying to ram me? He laughed and ran off. He stayed hidden in the forest and he wasn't shot again at all that day. He found another tree branch to sleep on. He woke up early at dawn and continued on his journey. He didn't know where he was to go. But he knew that he needed to get away from the areas where he was wanted. He could maybe go to one of the other kingdoms on the planet. There was at least 8 not including his own. Surely at least one of them would believe him. But why would they. He sighed. His whole life was a mess. He thought back to his father's hurtful words he said a year ago. Was he really a mistake? Unwanted? Then he thought to his mother's words. She said he was loved by his family. She never said that she loved him, or that he wasn't a mistake. He was so confused.
Sonic:Why can't my life make sense for once!
He rested for a while then continued to walk on silently. When he passed small towns, he put his hood up and no one recognized him. Nobody stopped him, or even tried. He looked like the last person you would ever want to talk to. Everyone avoided him. His hood covered his eyes. Surely if anything would give him way it would be his glowing eyes. He continued walking until he came to a huge city. He started to get hungry. He hadn't eaten for at least 3 days. But he couldn't buy anything. He didn't have any money. But he needed to eat. He turned to his very last resort. He knew it was wrong, but he wasn't going to starve. He turned down a street that wasn't very busy. There was a food stand full of juicy fruit. Sonic turned down a back road and began to run until he was a blur. He ran past the fruit stand and grabbed a few of the food. The orange cat who was at the stand was too much in shock to even protest. Sonic walked down a dark street and ate the apple he grabbed. He had never tasted anything so good. The demons had feed him only bitter, tasteless food. He finished his apple and unpeeled the orange he had also grabbed. He felt guilty for stealing. But it's not like he stole anything super expensive. A few oranges and apples missing isn't a big deal. He heard crying coming from one of the back alleys. He cautiously walked towards the sound. He found a little girl, about 3 years old, dressed with ripped, dirt-covered clothes. She saw him and backed away, fear showing in her eyes.
Girl: S-Stay a-away! D-don't h-hurt me p-please.
Sonic: Hurt you? Why would I hurt you?
Girl: People like to b-beat me.
Sonic: I promise, I'm a friend. I won't hurt you.
Girl: O-Okay.*shivers* brrrr..so cold..
Sonic realized just how cold this girl had to be. Winter was approaching and the temperature was dropping. He had a hoodie to keep him warm, she had nothing. He decided to ask her about her parents and where they were.
Sonic:Where are your parents?
Girl:I-I don't know. I ran away from home a year ago. They said they didn't love me so I ran away.*starts crying again*
Sonic: *bends down to her level and holds out an orange* Here... ya want this?
Girl: R-Really!? Nobody's ever been nice to me... What's your name?
Sonic: Sonic, Sonic the hedgehog.
Girl:*hugs him* Thank you Sonic, thank you.
She turned and ran off. Sonic couldn't help but smile. He didn't feel so guilty now. Just like his mother said, One good deed, is the remedy to a bad one.
