That Forrest left me cold... That singing voice got louder, a warm comforting feeling fell over me. "Odd.." I mumbled, wandering around in search for that person. The singing sounded so familiar, I just... Can't lay my finger on it. Suddenly, that voice... They stopped. The sky suddenly went dark. It was a deep navy blue, making it quite hard to see. Swatting my arms around, I slammed my hands on the trees. It felt like I had my eyes closed, that's how dark it became. Then, from the corner of my eye, I saw a small fire. I spun so fast that I slipped and bashed my head on the ground. Dusting myself off, I got up and started running towards that fire. Once I did, the sky became bright and blue, there were no clouds in the sky. Just a bright blue color. From the sky, a huge hand came down. The hand was in a fist and the arm extended past the sky. I could feel my heart drop down to my stomach as the hand came closer and closer. Slowly backing away, the hand opened and revealed... A doll..? There was this loud, childish voice that sounded like it was forcing itself to be deeper, "I have to go get more sticks!" The child laughed. Strange.. What a thing to witness. Right before I can let out a peep, another hand reached down and snatched me off the ground, their grasp wasn't very tight, but their hand was extremely sweaty and warm. I met eye contact with a little girl with a brown bob, she was wearing a white princess gown and the room around us had light pink and yellow walls and a huge bed with a light pink canopy. The little girl had huge brown eyes and eyelashes that looked longer than my own quills. "Hey! He's blinking!" The little girl screamed, "He's blinking! Do you think he's hungry?" Her sweaty palm made me feel very uncomfortable, felt like I was slipping slowly. "My name is Elise! I'm a princess!" The little girl laughed, "What's your name little guy?" Elise put me down on the hardwood floor, I knew I slightly recognized her face.. Sonic wants to forget her. "I'm Shadow." I gave her a slight smile. Elise stared at me for a moment, "You look lonely, what's wrong?" "I.. I'm just looking for somebody." I took a spin to look around her room. "Do you want to leave, Mr. Shadow?" Little Elise looked slightly sad, she was lonely too.. "You can come with me, you know." "No... I can't. My father would be upset." Elise looked down at her dress, the golden lace that ran at the collar of the shirt glistened. Once again batting my eyes around the room, "Can't we... go outside? Maybe?" "No... My father wouldn't let me do that either. He told me to stay in my room until he says I can come out, Mr. Shadow." Elise looked very disappointed, the frustration in her eyes as she fidgeted with her fingers. "So..." I sat myself on her floor, it wasn't cold surprisingly, "What now..?" The world started to look static-y like it was all fake. I could hear eerie screeching and what sounded like someone exclaiming "Let me out!". Sitting up catching my breath, I was sitting in the operation room, my body ached but it wasn't as bad as it was before. I'm assuming that the operation is finished? The room is still quite dark, with the only light being from the lamps that were pitched above me so my organs could be visible. The silver instruments were lined up, looked like all of them were used during the surgery. The tiny knives and the needle. A doctor walked in and looked a bit shocked, he mumbled something under his breath. His blonde bob swayed as he turned back to a nurse, then when he looked back at me, his glasses had a twinkle. His ears and tail were brown, his muzzle was white and his nose was brown as well. He edged closer to me, awkwardly, then he leaned in and gave me a glare down, "Doctor Michaels." "What..?" I picked at the operating gown that I had to wear. "I'm Doctor Bryce Micheals." Bryce backed up a smidgen, "You're uhm... Shadow the Hedgehog, no?" "I am." I gave a slight nod. Bryce was talking about the operation, but my ears had other plans. They started ringing and this sound, this piercing sound, it made every word hard to catch. Once again I found myself staring at the knives on the small rolling table thing, whatever that's called. This is a terrible idea. Slowly, I slid off the medical bed and picked up one of the surgical knives. Bryce's face became white, I stood there with the knife. "Don't worry, I have a purpose for everything." I smirked. With my left hand, I tore out the IV in my arm, and I began to run for the door. Dr. Bryce Micheals screamed at me but I couldn't care. Barefoot in a public location wearing a surgical gown, that's a fun story for the public. As I ran down the hallways, two security guards spotted me and began to chase me, now it's time for our pal knife to do her job! With my left hand I prepared my aim, and with the right I launched the surgical knife at the ceiling, the fire sprinkler head. Then with my last few steps I ran through the emergency exit door and ran on the sidewalk.
