[DISCONTINUED] Heroes Begin (A Sonic Fan Fiction)

Chapter 22 Part 1

Hey guys! Okay, so I'm Planning to split this chapter into two parts because its a bit long. I'm sorry for all the waiting guys, this story always slips my mind, or I never have any motivation to work on the chapter. So enjoy!

**Oh! And can you guys do me a favor and read my friends story "In Air". Her username is "thatashleygirl". She just joined and I think she's an amazing writer! It's not about any fandom, but it's still worth reading!

***NOTE: I've changed the heights of everyone, because it will make the chapter less awkward. So all the Sonic characters will be the same height as a human of their age. (Shadow is a bit taller that Raven though!)

Shadow POV:

As the orb glowed brightly, we all stood in wait. After a moment or two, it dimmed down to a flashback of Raven...

***Orb Flashback***

Raven was walking alone down the hallway, at what I supposed was her school. She was scribbling something down while walking, not paying attention to what was in front of her. Suddenly, she bumps into Baylee, making both of them drop their stuff.

"You idiot! Watch where you're going!" Baylee yelled.They both bent down and picked up their stuff.

"I-I'm sorry. Here." She gave Baylee her stuff, while sorting out her own.

Baylee picked up what Raven was scribbling on. It was a drawing of...me?

Baylee laughed and stood up, showing her friends behind her.

"Hm, what's this? A drawing of that fictional hedgehog you like so much?" Raven noticed she took it as she quickly gathered up her stuff.

"Give it back! I-it's for art class!" Raven grabbed for it, but Baylee turned around and laughed some more.

"Oh my, I should show this to your crush!" She gave a devious smile and looked back at Raven, whose face lit up like a tomato.

"No!" She grabbed it back, but only to rip it in half. Baylee gave a sarcastic gasp.

"Oh no! It's ruined! Too bad it was already trash before it ripped..."

She shoved the other half back into Raven's arms. "No need to thank me. I just did you a huge favor."

Raven quickly walked away, looking as if she was going to cry. She walked into a bathroom, with no one in it. She ripped up the drawing even more while talking to herself.

"I shouldn't have drawn this! I should've just drawn a stupid flower or something! God, now I'm gonna fail art this quarter!" She slammed it into the garbage can and whipped away a few tears. She took a deep breath and looked in the mirror, then left.

***Different Flash Back***

Now, Raven was at home in her bedroom. She sat at her desk, while listening to some music. By listening to it, I could tell who it was; My Darkest Days. I remember when Raven came to my house; I found out that we both listened to the same music. She was drawing again, but this time she was drawing what seemed to be her own character in a real sketch book. Raven seemed content, not having a worry in the world. To be exact, she looked like she was in her own world, escaping the world around her.

Then, her two brothers came in. One was about 20, who was extremely tall, buff, had an orange goatee, and short hair. The other, who looked about 18, was the same height, lanky, and had brown short hair also.

"Hey Raven, can I see that?" The older one said.

"Ummmmm, no." She twirled her pencil in her hand.
