Prologue and Chapter 1:
Prologue:
In Denver, Colorado, a small hedgehog lives with his mother and father in a small house sitting on a corner. That hedgehog's name is Sonic, and aside from his incredible speed, he was just like any other person in denver. He was young and healthy, he had a loving family, friends, and even did well in school.
Then one day, something bad happened. In the house nextdoor, there lived a man and his pregnant wife. The man was an alchoholic, and beat his wife many times, but noone seemed to care. One day, Sonic's father went next door when the man started fighting again. "Hello?" He knocks on the door franically as he hears screaming coming from the house. "Hello? Are you alright in there?" The screaming suddenly stops, and he hears heavy footsteps heading twoards the door. The door opens, and a man stands in the doorway. The man looked angry, and his face and hands had blood spotted on them.
Harold took one look at the man, and quickly grabbed him by his shirt, anger now coming from both men. Harold yells angrily, " You have done this for the last time! We hear you over here beating this poor woman every day! This ends N-" The man takes a gun out and puts it to Harold's chest. Just at this time, Sonic walks out to see if his dad is alright, his mother chasing after him. Sonic stops in his tracks and stares at the two men, and then...POW.....POW POW..POW! Sonic stares in horror as his father falls to the ground. His mother screams, and runs to Harold's body. The man points his gun at her and.....POW. She falls to the ground.
Sonic falls to his knees, tears streaking down his cheeks, and cries quietly. The man walks up to Sonic, 'One bullet left Murray, make it count,' The man thought. He put the gun to Sonic's head, and hesitates for a moment. Sonic slowly looks up at the man and thinks to himself, 'No...no, he wont get away with this. I can't give up now!' Sonic quickly punches the man in the knee, causing the man to stumble. Sonic quickly gets up and runs as fast as he can. 'It's now or never,' he thought, 'I have to get away!
Sonic runs and runs and runs, far away from his house. 'Until I can find a police station, I won't stop,' He thought as he ran. A few minutes later, he found the local police station. He dashed inside and began yelling for help, saying that his parents were shot. The officers followed him back home, and found four bodies at the house. The official police report was released a month later. It stated that the man had murdered his wife and the neighbors, then shot himself with his last bullet. Sonic was only 11 when it happened. He was taken into state custody and moved to a foster home for two years. Then one day, he was moved to another foster home in Tennessee. This is where our story really begins.
Chapter One, "A new start":
Sonic arrived at the airport at 12:34 and waited at the gate for the person who will pick him up. He noticed a green parrot, probably in his thirties, holding a sign that read "SONIC", and walked up to him. "Hey, you're here to pick me up, right?" The man looked at him and smiled, "Yes I am. Sonic, right? Follow me." Sonic nodded and threw his bag over his shoulder. He followed the man outside to a silver 'Mercedes Benz', and the man popped the trunk, taking Sonic's bag and putting it inside. "Well then, hop in the back, it's unlocked."
Sonic hesitantly opened the back-seat door and slipped inside, closing it behind him. 'I would've preffered to sit in the front,' he thought, 'But it doesn't matter. At least I'm getting a ride.' Lost in thought, he forgot to buckle his seatbelt. The driver notices, "Would you mind buckling up?" He asks. Sonic quickly buckled his seatbelt and sighed, "How long 'till we get there?" He asked. "A few hours, it's all the way on the other side of the state you know." He smiles, "My name is Terrance, nice to meet you Sonic." He held his hand out, and Sonic shook it. "Nice to meet you too," He smiles back, "I think i'm going to take a nap. Let me know when we get there." Terrance nodded, "Alright then." He turned back around and started the car.
Sonic sighed and closed his eyes, trying to relax. 'It won't be long if I fall asleep.' In a few moments, he starts to dose off and falls asleep, snoring lightly. A few hours later, Terrance shook Sonic's shoulder lightly. "Wake up Sonic, we're here." Sonic opened his eyes sleepily and yawns heavily, streaching his legs out. "I'll be out in a second," he said as Terrance opened the door and got out of the car. "Good, because your new foster parent and siblings are very eager to meet you," He closed the car door, "You don't wanna keep then waiting, do you?" Sonic laughed, "Of course not," he said as he got out, "Why would I?"
Sonic grabbed his bags and closed the trunk. He followed Terrance to the front door and waited as Terrance rang the doorbell. He could hear laughter and talking coming from inside, and then footsteps as someone walked up to the door. It swings open, and there was a purple hedgehog standing in front of him. Terrance smiles, "Hello there, Mrs. Janet, how are you?" The woman smiled back and cheerfully responds, "I'm doing great Terrance, it's nice to see you again!" She turned her attention to Sonic, "And you must be Sonic." Sonic nodded to her. "Well come on in then, what are you waiting for?"
Sonic smiled shyly and walked inside. The woman slowly started to close the door behind him. "I'll see you later Terrance, tell Sharon I said hello!" The door closed and she walked into the other room. Sonic stood in the room and wondered where he should go next. She came back and beckoned Sonic to the doorway. "Come on in, we're all waiting to meet you!" She darts back inside the room. Sonic sighs and closes his eyes, taking a deep breath. 'It's a new start, try to make the best of it,' he told himself. He walked twoards the doorway. 'Here I go...,' He took a deep breath and slowly walked into the room...
