Chapter 3

"Scourge.."

Scourges eyes shot open. He looked around. The hedgehog was standing in an endless, black void. The only thing he could see was his own body. He nervously looked around. "Hello?" He managed to say.

"Scourge..."

Scourge shot his head back. "Who said that..Show yourself!" He demanded. Something caught his eye. Scourge turned his head and saw a green silhouette. From the distance. The figure looked bigger than him. He couldn't tell what or who it was.

"Scourgge...."

A chill ran down his spine. The figure began approaching him at a quick pace. Scourge walked backwards. No matter how far he went. The figure got closer.

Scourge turned around and began jogging. Then the jogging turned into running. He looked back. The figure was at the same distance it was before. Scourge ran faster. But he was getting nowhere. It's as if he wasn't moving at all.

The black void began changing. Trees shot out of the ground. Grass and dirt surrounded his feet. Grey clouds appeared. Pouring rain down on him. Scourge looked back once more. The figure was gone.

Scourge slowed down. He looked away. Then. Scourge was scooped up. Whatever or whoever grabbed him. Maneuvered him to look over their shoulder.

The saviour was fast. The trees zoomed by. The pressure of the wind. Made his spikes move forward. Scourges arms and legs were wrapped around their torso. And their arms were tightly hugging his back.

They then tripped. Sending Scourge flying. And small ring fell out of their hand. It landed on the floor. It grew. And opened. Scourge rolled up into a ball. Falling through the ring. The ring closed behind him.

"SCOURGE!"

"Scourge!..SCOURGE!"

"AHH!" Scourge screamed as he jumped up. He slipped off the sofa. Falling onto the ground. Scourge groaned as he rubbed his head. He looked up.

Wade was standing over him with a worried face. "You alright there, Squirt? I've been trying to wake you up for the past 5 minutes" he lend his hand to Scourge. Scourge grabbed his hand. And was pulled up to his feet. "I'm fine. Just had a weird dream" he muttered.

"Okay good. Cause you're gonna need to hide for a little while." Wade began walking away. "What- why?" Scourge followed after him. "So like- Tom. Sonics adoptive father. Is coming over to report his investigation yesterday" he opened a door. The door lead to stairs. Wade walked down them. "But wouldn't he have a normal..normaler reaction to seeing me?" He pointed out. "A COMET just came crashing down on earth. I think another alien hedgehog would be a bit too much" Scourge groaned.

"How about this. I'll maybe introduce you after the report?" Wade glanced back at Scourge. Scourge shrugged. "Sure. Fine" he mumbled.

Scourge and Wade got to the floor. It wasn't much. The ceiling wasn't finished. There were boxes, and shelves everywhere. And it was incredibly dusty. Scourge sneezed. Then rubbed his nose.

"Sorry for the mess. This is just my storage room. And I don't usually have people come down here" a knock was heard at the door. "Okay. Stay here. Maybe hide? I don't know. But I'll get you right after, okay?" Wade didn't give Scourge a chance to reply. He was already walking up the stairs.

Scourge scanned his surroundings. Just by looking at it tempted him to sneeze. He walked around. There was a little opening through some boxes. Scourge peeked inside. It look bigger inside. Big enough to fit him at least. Scourge rubbed his finger on one of the boxes on the inside. His finger was covered in dust. He wiped the dust off his finger.
