Sonadow: Cinderella

Chapter 2: New Family

Sonic just stood there. His hand was still up, blushing a little bit of pink. He shook his head and snapped to attention as he put his hand down and turned around. His gaze was down. He looked at his basket and saw that the red and white blanket had little bumps like something was in it. He pulled the blanket and...

Sonic:*gasp*

There was a rose in it. Now he was blushing a dark crimson red color. He had a little bit of the color on the tip of his ears. He picked the rose hesitantly. He just looked at it. He smiled. He officially had a crush. He sniffed the rose and his smile grew by every sniff of if. It was sunset and Sonic made it to his home, still with the blush and a soft smile. He slowly opened the door and closed it as he leaned against it.

Sonic:*sigh* Haaa....

He went to the living room and sat down, STILL blushing(Me: Haha.). He sniffed it agai-... He saw his father with a very, VERY sad look on his face. Sonic saw him and smiled, but his smile faded away as his fathers look got sadder. He sat down and explained to Sonic what happened when he was gone. As his father explained, his soft smile was slowly replacing with a shocked and sad pale look. The rose he held tightly in his hands was released and it fell on the ground, it's beaming red color fading. The tears in his eyes fell on his pale cheeks as he stood, frozen in time. His mother... D-Died? How? Why?! His sobs escaped as he let his tears fall. He ran up the stairs to his parents bedroom and fell on his knees. Placing his arms on the bed, he buried his head in his hands as he cried himself to sleep.

.  .  .

A week has passed after his mothers death and Sonic has been better. Every day his been visiting his mothers grave. He's been going to the meadow as well hoping to see the the boy he saw before (Me: His crush...hehehe...), but his bad luck is having it's way.

Sonic was going home after he visit to the meadow. He came by his the gate and he saw a carriage.

Sonic:*thinks* Weird...

He shook the thought of his head and went in. He slowly closed the door and sighed.

???: HAHAHA!

His ears pricked up as he herd...a woman's voice? He went to the living room slowly and what he saw was a surprise. His father was chuckling with three giggling girls. His father noticed him.

Jules: Ah! And here's my boy!

He said in a happy tone as he walked up to him. Sonic just looked at the three girls smiling at him.

Sonic: Evening?

He wasn't sure if he ever met them.

???: Jules sweetie-

Sonic went pale. Did he heard that right? Did she just call him "sweetie"?

???:-you never said he wears a dress.

Jules: Pardon.*looks at Sonic*Sonic this is Rouge...your step mother.

Sonic paled even more. It was like he was frozen-no paralyzed.

Rouge: Sonic? Are you-

He just ran off to his room, leaving tears behind his foot steps. He slammed the door of his room and jumped on his bed.

Sonic:*whispers and sobs*Why..?
