Sunset Black

New start

A little hedgehog ran faster than light, he laughed loudly across the hills, he was a popular hero despite his young age.

It was his daily life, he lived free although quite alone but he was happy, he saved people of his own free will, in any case it was on his path. He had become popular by these actions but also not his speed and his freedom.

That day, a ring appeared above his head, astonished, he stopped one of his daily runs seeing this shiny and golden thing in the sky. A shadow began to fall, worried he observed the scene of the fall of this thing, trying to catch it lest it be damaged or injured. He caught a little orange hedgehog in his arms. He seemed unconscious and his eyes were so wet he looked like he was crying.

Having him in his arms seemed sweet to him, anyway he didn't intend to let go and abandon a young child alone. So he went home to slowly bring this child back, his T-shirt was stained with blood.

Once home, he placed him on his bed, cleaned the large patch of blood on his stomach properly and bandaged him. He let him rest and for the first time, spent the day next to him, waiting for him to get better and wake up.

When the little boy wakes up, Sonic looks at him for a long time, who was that? He watched him slowly open his eyes, look around him, watch him realize that he no longer had a jacket but a long bandage on his stomach, then finally he observed his eyes rest on his.

'-Where are we? Who are you? I think I had a horrible nightmare...'

Sonic sighs kindly, reaches for his verse and gives it to him.

'-Hey, you could be cold without it. Also, it's true that I owe you some explanations, my name is Sonic and this is Green Hill, now can I ask you some questions?'

-Sonic from Green Hill? I think I already heard this somewhere... anywya, err, obviously?

-You have a family? friends? I can't keep you at my place, can I?

-How did I end up here?

-Wha- Er, that is not the reply I was waiting for but you you fell from the sky right into my arms

-Fell... From the sky...? With a ring...?!

-Ye! That it! Your weird ring! You remeber something at least!'

The little hedgehog with orange fur stopped abruptly, his eyes became moist, he looked at Sonic for a long time.

'-Are- Are you okay bro? 

-Everything was true...?

Sunset starts to sob, Sonic gently hugs him to try to dry him tears.

-Hey! Hey, but don't cry, bud, I know it's not the good time but can you reply to my question...? I don't know why they do to you but hey, everything gonna be alright, now, ok?

-They... They are... They are all dead....

Sonic fell silent, hugging him a little tighter and erasing his comforting smile.

-What did you just say... Is that true...?

Seeing the little hedgehog crying without responding in his arms, he decided to give him a little time of silence instead of pestering him with questions. When the little hedgehog, although his eyes were wet, stopped sobbing, he raised his head a little.

-I told you everything would be fine from now on, remember that?

-Y... Ye..?

-What's your name, kid?

-My... My name is Sunset... Why...?

-Well, my dear Sunset, I'm keeping you here, is that okay with you? you will officially be my protégé and my friend, okay? And about defense and offense, we'll see what we can do with you if you find yourself alone, okay, kid?

Sunset remained speechless, it was Sonic who had just told her that, he who was afraid of so much worse, he couldn't believe it... He let out a little 'yes that suits me' while hugging him even tighter. arm. Sunset had found a little smile again, Sonic was delighted to have made a new friend and above all to have managed to console him. He felt the warmth of a hug for the first time, he who had lived so alone all his life... Sunset's past, he rarely asked questions to avoid disturbing him, the only information he had What ultimately reaped was the fact that he came from a small village named Sweet Hill, apparently destroyed in strange ways.

The two children lived alone but happily, Sunset had learned to defend herself, Sonic had found a friend, both were very happy together, but Sunset's memory prevented her from staying with him for a long time, for fear of becoming too attached and then to lose it in pain. He exiled himself almost alone on Angel Island, a place where he discovered an echidna named Knuckles, fortunately for him, Knuckles was quite anti-sociable but they happened to chat once or twice, he also met a chao identical to him, the The idea of ​​having such a similar chao seemed so amusing to him that he kept him as his only friend. He grows up over time, he is now 15 years old, he now lives much happier where he is. obviously, everything won't end there, but that... that's another story....
