Sonic's POV

After I had dinner, Knuckles and Silver offered me a tour of the castle since I didn't feel like going to sleep just yet. As we were walking I couldn't help but notice at the left stairway I noticed it led to a dark hallway. "What's that?" I asked the two servants. "Oh that? It's nothing" said silver. "Yep, nothing of interest in the west wing" Knuckles bleared out probably not realizing that he wasn't supposed to say that. "Oh, so that's the west wing" I said. "Nice going" silver said to knuckles. "I wonder what he could be hiding up there" I say to them. "HIDING?! What an idea eh hehe" said Knuckles nervously. "Then it wouldn't be forbidden now would it" I tell them and proceeded to walk up there but they both rush in front of me trying to stop me from going any further. "Perhaps Monsieur would wanna go check out the Exquisite Tapestries dating back to-to Tikal the Echidna Princess!" Said Silver. "Maybe Later" I said trying to go up the stairs. "Or maybe you would like to see the gardens? Or-or the library?!" Silver said again trying to convince not to go into the west wing. I stop when he mentioned library "you have a library?!" I asked happily. "With books!" Said silver excitingly. "Books with pictures, books with words" said Knuckles as he led the way to the library. "Books on every subject by every author who's ever set pen to paper!" Silver continued as he fellowed Knuckles along. I gotta be honest if I wasn't so interested on what that beast was hiding in the west wing then I wouldn't just fellow those two to the library. With the two of them distracted I proceeded to make my way to the west wing. Finally when I made it to the top I noticed some doors that definitely led into the west wing so I reached for them and opened them both up. When I did open them I noticed that the room was very dark and there were ripped fabrics and shattered glasses everywhere. As I walked in and inspected the room a little more I got chills down my spine. I also noticed a few portrait painting on the walls that were ripped as well. One of them had two hedgehogs on it a boy and a girl. The girl was a very beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes and a blue like princess dress to make. But the other one had his face torn so I couldn't clearly see his face but I did see his eyes, they were the same color as the beast's eyes. I stared at it in confusion. I then turned around and saw a glowing reddish-pinkish light. I go Closer to it and notice that it was a beautiful red rose in a glass container. It was shining bright, I took the glass off of it and put it down on the floor, I then try and touch it but then I noticed a shadow and some growling, I looked up to meet an angry beast. "DONT TOUCH THAT!!" He yelled and I backed away afraid. "I'm sorry!" I apologized. He then got the glass container from the floor and put it back in its place keeping the rose in. He then looked at me growling angrily. I took a step back fearing he might do something bad to me. "What are YOU doing here?!" He asked "I-" I tried explaining myself but was cut-offed "I told you NEVER TO COME HERE!" He yelled. "I know but-" I try saying again but once again was cut-offed. "Do you realize what could have DONE?!" He asked while yelling. "No I don't!" I said "GET OUT!" He yelled. "I-I" I stuttered. "You have NO RIGHT TO BE HERE! GET OUT!" He yelled and swing his claws at me ripping one of the sleeves of my shirt and cutting through the skin on my arm a little. I fell down in pain. "No, I-" he tried saying but this time I cut him off. "DONT TOUCH ME!" I yelled. "SONIC!-" he said try to reach out for me. "PROMISE OR NOT I WON'T STAY HERE!" I said running away and out of the castle with my uncle's house.
