Chapter 1 (Sonic and the Stone)

Instructions

I finally finished the first chapter...whew book writing is hard...but also fun! anyway I sorta changed it a bit so now you'll learn a bit more about Splash too, I really hope that was a good choice '^^ anyways.. on with the story, i guess! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sonic sat on the roof of his older brother's house, running his hand through his cobalt blue spikes, a few sparks of electricity jumping around on them, "Sometimes I wish I had a different brother..." He thought, his brother was overprotective of him...a little too much sometimes.., Sonic stood up and jumped off the roof, (Something his brother would not have approved of) landing just right so not to injure himself, "just going for a quick run.." he said quietly to himself before running into the nearby forest with it's large Oak trees to its spindly birch trees, and you can't forget the red mushrooms with their white Polka dots! Sonic ran through this beautiful place, the sound of leaf litter crunching under foot could be heard seeing as it had been for a month or so by now.., The sun was beginning to set. "Maybe I should've check what time it was before I left.." he thought, though he didn't really care, he just wanted to be away from his brother for a while.., he now walked to enjoy the scenery, he soon lost track of time and the sun had set completely but luckily it was a full moon tonight, giving him the light he needed to see..... until he reached a dark overgrowth of plants. he, of course, walked right into it. he neared a temple like place...that he didn't notice at all...and was maybe a little... creepy? he probably hadn't noticed cause he was just excited about the fact he hadn't been into this part of the forest before.... Meanwhile someone else, very far away, was preparing to go somewhere. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Splash, a 15(?(Maybe 16 I kinda forgot his age-) year old hedgehog, was indeed preparing to go somewhere. His Long, Blue spikes of which the color intensified as you went down, were just getting in the way as he packed hastily. "C'mon Splash!" he said to himself, seeing as there was nobody else there, "You've gotta go faster than that-! They could get here at any moment and surely you know better than to be seen by them in particular!" As if on Cue, there were sound of footsteps getting closer. "Wait, Why- Actually WHAT AM I packing??" he said, looking at the air where if he actually had anything, it would be there he didn't even have a suitcase either. "I could've been out of here before- .....Well aren't I a block-head!" he said with a slight temper. There was a knock on the door indicating THEY were here, he looked at the door and then at the single, very large window. "Would I rather stay here and get caught, or would I rather jump out this nice big window so I can escape with my freedom still intact?" he asked himself even though he already knew what he would pick. he looked at the door he was so close to and reached out towards the doorknob to open the door... he turned the knob slowly, as if he was second guessing himself for a second before he opened the door. he put his hands up above his head, a smile playing on his lips. on the other side of the door, there were three gentlemen wearing dark black hooded sweaters, each of them holding a device I can't exactly put into words unless I want to be hunted down like Splash is, but I can tell you they were for capturing 'Dangerous alien lifeforms' or just anthropomorphic animals. Splash me while jumped up and once he was at the peak of his jump he tucked his knees in, doing seven rotations (This can't be even remotely possible-) before reaching the window he forgot to open earlier. He broke through the crystal clear glass pane, adding a splash shaped hole and a spider web like cracks to the window. as he fell from the sky...or the fifth story window, he placed his hands behind his head and Smirked once he saw the hooded men look at him from the window. once he neared the ground he used his power.... water powers. splash could make water spheres using outside water sources or the water inside him, he could breathe underwater I guess, and best of all (Though I was reluctant to share this information for some reason-) he has the ability to turn into water as well! and so he could stay relatively unharmed he turned into some wet water, it always felt...weird when he did this, he always thought it took forever for him to turn into the watery substance since he only felt the tingly sensation of the change. he smacked into the ground. Hard. he hadn't felt a thing, he didn't particularly Like the feeling he felt when he changed forms but it was...convenient if he needed a quick getaway. He turned back into his regular hedgehog form...or is it the water form that is the regular one? he didn't-
