Cries For Help

Chapter 1

It was just another day to Sonic. Well, a normal day when she wasn't fighting Dr. Eggman. Or some monster trying to destroy everything. The hedgehog finally had a day to herself, and what better way to spend it than doing what she loves to do best. Running! It was the perfect day too, the weather was absolutely beautiful. Things could not have been better for Sonic.

So here she was, running to where ever her feet took her just enjoying the lovely day. Crystal clear sky, the lime green grass, it was an ideal spring day.

Sonic came to a stop when she spotted Shadow, her rival sitting under a tree. He was all by himself. Shadow loved to be alone with his thoughts and memories. He would never admit it though.

It's Shadow! Wonder what he's up to? Sonic thought as she took off running toward the red and black hedgehog. And in a second was standing right in front of him.

Shadow had his eyes closed so he never noticed the cobalt hedgehog girl standing in front of him. Of course, Sonic thought this was the perfect opportunity to let her presence be known. And play a trick on the dark hedgehog... With her famous smirk spread across her muzzle, Sonic screamed to the top of her lungs, making Shadow nearly jump out of his shoes.

"HI SHADOW!" Sonic screamed so loud everyone in the whole world could have heard her.

Shadow jumped so high off the ground it was a wonder he didn't cling onto one of the tree branches! Sonic broke out into a fit of laughter at the now ticked off hedgehog. Part of her wanted to run for her life, the other still wanted to laugh in Shadow's face. But, she choose wanting to stay and laugh in his face.

"You should have seen your face Shadow!" Sonic had tears in her eyes from laughing so hard.

"What do you what!" Shadow snapped at the chipper blue hedgehog who, still couldn't stop laughing.

Shadow closed his eyes again as if trying to forget Sonic was even there. He couldn't believe he had jumped like a scared little baby and worse of all by Sonic scaring him.

Shadow was even more rankle when Sonic came over sitting under the tree beside him. He turned his head away because he didn't want to face her. To him, she wasn't really there.

"Can't I say hi?" She said with a smirk.

"No." Was Shadow's only reply to her.

The red and black hedgehog moved slightly away from the blue one. But she just moved closer to him. The more he tried to moved away, the move she moved next to him. Sonic would not stop pestering him. Shadow was really starting to get very irritated at her.

Well...there goes my day of peace... Shadow thought as he opened one eye glaring at the girl. She will be bugging me all day now!

Sonic just sat there with a huge grin plastered on her face, staring right back at Shadow. As if waiting for him to say something back to her. She loved teasing him because she knew he could get mad so easily. To her, she was just being silly. Being herself really.

"Hey Shadow! How about a race?" Sonic said as she nudged Shadow with her elbow.

Shadow said nothing and just ignored her, but, that didn't stop Sonic. She kept hitting him over and over with her elbow. All the awhile teasing and taunting the moody hedgehog. Trying to get him to accept the race challenge. Shadow was always in a bad mood, but today he seemed to be in a very bad mood. His patience with Sonic was growing very thin at the moment...

"I said no! Now will you leave me alone!" Shadow began. "You know, sometimes I wish you aren't so cheery and happy all the time! It's annoying!" Shadow said while pointing a finger in Sonic's face. He wanted her to leave him alone so badly. Yeah... he was in a terrible mood today. He was worse than usual that was for sure. Because, he usually would race against Sonic. To prove he was better than her. But today, he wouldn't.

At first the comment did kinda hurt Sonic's feelings, but, she didn't want him to know that. She just kinda brushed it off. She wasn't going to let a few hurtful words from Shadow get her down. They were rivals after all. And they were always saying rude comments back to each other. It was nothing new. But, for some reason, his words actually hurt her this time...

"Be careful what you wish for Shadow. It just might come true ya know." Sonic said as she put a finger on Shadow's nose, irritating him to no end.

"But I couldn't image myself being like you and being boring!" She smirked.

He couldn't take anymore of Sonic and decided to leave.

Won't she take a hint? I want to be left alone! Shadow thought.

Without another word said Shadow jumped up and started to leave. There was only so much of the blue hedgehog he could handle. And that was the only way to get rid of her. Because she certainly wasn't going to leave first. Shadow figured that Sonic would just follow him, but to his surprise she didn't. She stayed put still sitting under the tree.

"Where are you going? Sonic asked watching Shadow leave in a hurry.

"Getting away from you! I can only handle so much of you!" Shadow shouted back at her.

"Your just afraid of losing Shadow!" Sonic shouted out loud.

The red and black hedgehog never replied. He was quite far away from her now. And he was happy about it. The further away he was from her, the happier he was.

"Who needs him..." Sonic as she sat back down under the tree.

Sonic thought about chasing after Shadow, but quickly changed her mind. She actually just wanted to stay and relax under the tree more before going back to running. She liked it here, it was peaceful. It made her think of happier and simpler times.

Sonic sat under the tree relaxing and enjoying the rest of her day. She sat there for about ten minutes and nearly dose off she was so comfortable and peaceful. Suddenly out of nowhere, a shadowy figure appeared from behind the tree catching Sonic off guard.

The stranger hit her upside the head very hard, and Sonic fell to the ground like a brick. The next thing she knew someone was hand cuffing her hands together behind her back. Then, it went completely black.

As Sonic opened her eyes, the pain in her head was excruciating and her vision blurry. She didn't recognize the place. She couldn't have told you where she was, even if she could see out the window, which had been boarded up. Could it be Shadow coming to play a trick her? Was he trying to scare her?

"Shadow? You can stop this now... your little prank has gone far enough." She remembered what happened last time Shadow played a trick on her. She ran around with her hands handcuffed for two weeks!

"Shadow, whose Shadow?" An unfamiliar voice came from behind. "Oh, is that your red and black friend. Well, good. No one who knows you will hear your screams."

Sonic was starting to get scared. Who was this? What was he gonna do? If he wanted money, why didn't he just ask? Instead of taking her to this very dark and creepy place? What did he want?

"I'll give you anything as long as you don't hurt me..." She pleaded.

"I can't promise that..." He replied, coldly, indifferently, as if he would have no remorse over whatever he was about to do to her.

He walked around her, almost as if he was about to put, whatever his plan was, into action. He was a tall and slender hedgehog. He looked to be in his early twenties. He had bangs that spiked every which way, just like his quills that hung in the back. He was a pale orange and almost rich looking. His bangs looked to be professionally highlighted. He was definitely no beggar.

"What do you want?" She asked as he pushed her to the ground.

He put a bended knee on each of her legs. He pulled a bandanna out of one glove, and folded it up, and forced into her mouth and tied it around her head. Then, he pulled a pocketknife out of his other glove. He then quickly started cutting her clothes away until every single last thread of fabric was off her body. She tried to get up and away. And when that didn't work, she tried to fight him off as best as she could. She was underneath all of this man's weight. He tossed the ruined clothes and pocketknife aside.

"I promise to be gentle..." The stranger smirked as he got right in her face. Sonic's emerald green eyes grew wide with fear. "But then again... I never really keep my promises..."

The muffled screams were never heard. There was no hero for a hero...
