Sonic the Hedgehog walked along the road to the nearest village. He was hoping one of the residents there might have some sort of odd job he could do in exchange for food. Chasing a wolf away from livestock, stacking heavy objects, it didn’t really matter to him. He just wanted some meat, but he didn’t like the thought of killing some small forest creature and then eating it. He preferred something that had already killed and cleaned for him. Perhaps he was just too kindhearted for his own good.

When he first started seeking work in the village, the villagers had been afraid of him because they thought he was some sort of bandit or hoodlum, since he lived alone in the forest and didn’t have parents, but they soon learned he was actually very trustworthy. He only lived in the forest because it was relatively safe there, compared to places with lots of people. He’d learned that at a very young age. He’d never seen it, but he heard that half the kids in the village ended up like him anyway, and the half that didn’t seemed to get taken away. But what could anyone do? The king was seriously messed up.

“I don’t have any meat for you, but if you help me out, I’ll give you some coins so you can buy some meat from the butcher.” A villager told Sonic when he arrived in town.

“All right, sounds good to me.” Sonic agreed. When he was finished with his work, Sonic went to the butcher and bought just enough meat for his dinner, keeping the rest of the money he’d earned for later. As he was leaving however, he heard a voice calling out.

“Alms. Alms for the poor.” Looking to the side, the blue hedgehog saw a young rabbit woman and her daughter standing by the side of the road, begging for money. From the looks of things, they would go hungry tonight.

“Here.” Sonic said as he walked over, offering her a bit of money and some of the meat he bought.

“Oh thank you Sonic.” The woman said kindly. “My husband was taken by the king and I have no way to provide for my daughter and I without him.”

“Thank you sir.” The little girl said sweetly.

“No problem.” Sonic replied, patting the child on the head. “Glad I could help.” Having aided the pair, the teenager continued on his way.

As he was just about to turn off into the forest, Sonic heard a scream. “Let me go!” cried the voice of a young girl. He rushed toward the sound at astonishing speeds to find a young hedgehog girl being dragged off by some of the king’s soldiers.

“This one is to be taken straight to the king.” One of them said.

Hearing that, Sonic felt enraged. The king was a freaking lunatic, who knew what he would do this girl? Before he even realized what he was doing, Sonic had attacked and destroyed both soldiers.

“Are you okay?” he asked the girl.

“Yes! Thank you so much!” The girl exclaimed, glomping him. Sonic grunted, then chuckled when she let go.

“So what are you doing out here alone?”

“Well since you just saved my life, I think I can tell you, I come from one the noble families from before Mephiles conquered this kingdom.”

“Really? Me too.”

“Really?!” The girl cried, “Then you should come with me!”

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“I heard that there’s a knight who used to serve one of the noble families, and any noble that’s in trouble can go to him. I’m trying to find him.” The girl explained.

“Well, I don’t know that I really need help, but I’ll go with you just to make sure you find him okay.”

“Great! I’m Amy, Amy Rose.”

“I’m Sonic the Hedgehog.”
Amy: You all thought I forgot about this, didn't ya? Nope, just took me a while to figure out how to start. ^^; This chapter's a bit short, but that hopefully means I'll post the next chapter sooner. If you didn't realize, the woman who was begging and her daughter were Vanilla and Cream.

Sonic, Vanilla, Cream, Mephiles, and Amy belong to Sega
