Sonic The Hedgehog Chronicles Book One

Chapter 3: The Hospital

Sonic the Hedgehog:

I woke up in a white hospital room, lit by a bright light coming from a window with a table full of medical tools on it to my left. 'It's probably morning time,' I thought. I turned out to be right, because the clock said that it was 9:15 am. I really want to hop out of this bed and run, possibly beat up some badniks and hangout with Tails a little while to see if he's working on anything new; but my body's really sore and I can barely move, let alone run.

Note to self: try not to fight some random alien you've never met before in the middle of a dark room who can pack a punch five times harder than Knuckles.

What was that guy? And why did he say he needed her- I think he said her name was Amelia?- to bring back the Black Arms? All I knew was that she looked terrified of him.

She was different from the other girls that I'd try to save. She actually attacked that guy! And she cared more about that little wisp's life than possibly her own.

I really respected that- even though the wisp was kinda working with the enemy- and it was really funny watching Shads getting told off. Like that happens everyday, unless we're talking about Rouge here. Even if my neck was in pain the whole time, it was worth the show. Haha. I'd be cool if I got a chance to know her better...

I just noticed the same girl from the abandoned library sitting to my right. She was fast asleep on a blue sofa with wooden legs & trimming. Her mouth was slightly hanging open, the position she was in looked really uncomfortable, but she was knocked out cold. Was she here the whole night?

The doctor came in coincidentally after I made myself familiar with my surroundings. The doctor looked like a pink female sheep with light green eyes who looked like she could possibly be in her late twenties, with a cheerful face. She had a name tag that read: Dr. Mary Meadows. I heard her whisper something under her breath that sounded like, "I can't believe that my patient is THE Sonic the Hedgehog!" Great, another crazy fan.

"So doc, can yah tell me how bad it is?" I asked.

"Well from all the x-rays and lab work we've conducted I can say that you've sustained a few deep cuts and bruises in your neck but nothing too severe. There also seems to be a swelling between the right cheek bone and your jaw bone," Dr. Meadows chimed.

"Is there anything that you can do about it?"

"Well, usually it would take a week to patch you up. But today we received a new treatment that might sting a little but when it's applied to your wounds, it will speed up the healing process. So you may stay here for only two more days," she piped cheerfully.

Two more days without running? Ughhh! Well at least it's better than waiting for a whole entire week, that's for sure.

Amelia Jade (15 hours ago (Yeah... Sonic slept for a really long time)):

What the heck was I going to do?! That jerk crushed my RingPod so I couldn't call 911 or let my mom know I was okay. This really sucked. I had tied my clothes in a few places so they wouldn't fall like they almost did in front of that creepy alien guy. I found a pillow behind the librarians desk that seemed a little dusty, but it was all I could find. I gently placed Sonic's head on it being, careful not to hurt the little guy (even though I'm probably at least an inch shorter than him now).

I turned towards the black hedgehog known as Shadow and just noticed the burn on his shoulder that seemed to be bleeding and the fact that he was staring at me the whole time I was taking care of Sonic.

"Hey, so how did you know that guy?" I asked him.

"Long story."

"Do you want me to help with your shoulder?"
