My Soul's Oath.

Chapter 1: My Murder

My name was Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the greatest heroes to ever live. And this is the story of my death. I was 18 years old when I was murdered on July 7, 2006.

When I was killed, I left behind the people that I loved and the ones that I cared about so much, I would in a instant call them my family. But after my death, it almost seemed like they gave up on defending the world from the evil Dr. Eggman. These were the names of the people I had left behind:

Knuckles: (21) probably one of the fiestest spirited men that I know, Knuckles suffered from a habit of fighting and hitting people a bit too much. Just like I have the habit of running.

Tails: (14) The youngest member of the group. Tails was almost like a little brother to me.

Amy Rose: (16) The broken hearted girl with the hammer. She had been in love with me and had been chasing after me for years. But she was still was still a wonderful friend and quiet lately I was worried that I was feeling the same for her.

Me? In love? Give me a break. I could never be in love. That would be too much of a distraction. Of course, even if I did return her feelings, I could never actually be in a relationship with Amy. Instead of focusing on saving the world, I would be to busy worrying about her. so I would as always would just keep running away at a speed in which no one could catch. I made a reputation as being the fastest thing alive and . But then again, I was also on the run from people that wanted to catch me. All I could do was run. Seemed all I did was run except when I was needed to stop another of Eggman's evil plans or anyone else's. But I ran from everyone and everything, including the people I cared about the most. Including Amy.

But enough about the past, my death is the most important thing about my story. So, my death was quick, bloody, painless. When I say painless, I mean it, when I was murdered, I felt nothing as I supposedly died. This is the series of events of how I died.

It all started with me walking down the street, saying goodbye to my friends after a celebration of beating Dr. Eggman. Again. Big suprise, huh? My last night living and it was spent beating my arch revial for the thousandth time. This is the last time I will ever be with my friends. At the table, we made one last toast to the defeat of Eggman. And then we knew we had to go home. Basically, we knew we couldn't drink too much, or we couldn't be well enough to beat Eggman if he struck again. So, three drinks isn't enough to get drunk, right? I'll never know since I'm already dead. So, we got up and went to the door. And we said our goodbyes. Amy just stood outside the restarant as we all walked away. I was beginning to start running to the mountains to watch the stars, when a voice stopped me.

"Sonic."

I turned around to see who said my name. It was Amy.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"To the mountains. The stars are really beautiful at this time of night. I wouldn't be able to see them in the city lights. Well, better get going." I was about to speed off when she grabbed me.

"Sonic, do you really have to go? I mean it is Friday. Let's stay here, and have dinner."

I knew what she was trying to do. And I wasn't buying it.

"Amy, look. I know that this is hard for you but you have to..."

Before I could say something else, she hugged me. Very tightly. I pushed her off me. Which is probably why I shouldn't have said this but I did anyway.

"Okay, Amy Rose. That is it! I'm tired of you always coming on to me and never leaving me alone. You never had a chance with me and you never will! Why can't you get it straight? I know this may hurt you but this is my feeling on the matter!" I roared. Wow. That was a real low blow but I was furious.

"Fine, Sonic." She started to cry. "Sonic, maybe one day you'll finally see exactly why everyone hates you!" And she ran off.

I watched her go. After a minute of being angry, it began to thaw. I remembered that was really mean. I wanted to go after and tell her I was sorry.

"Way to go, Sonic," I said to myself. "You just insulted one of the real people that actually cares about you." I looked at my shoes, wondering what to do.

"Amy, wait!" I started to go after her.

Little did I know that was the last thing I would ever be able to say to Amy. And you have no idea how much I was going to regret that.

"Hey, wait!" someone said.

I turned around, expecting to see Amy. But it was someone I had never seen before. It was a woman. She was all dressed in black, her skin so pale it shone in the moonlight, and she had blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail.

"Do you have the time?" she asked. I found the question really weird but I answered anyway by looking at my clock.

"It's 8:25," I answered, as was just about to start running when she asked me something else.

"Thank you. Thank you very much. So, what's your name?"

Clearly she hadn't heard of me. "Sonic." I answered, and she came up closer to me.

"You're a hedgehog, right? The one who keeps beating Eggman," she asked.

"Get away from me, would you?" I said as I started to walk off but was stopped by her question.

"Sonic the Hedgehog, son of Tican the Hedgehog?" she asked.

I found that question this woman to be quite weird, so I turned around and I gave her a look of confusion and suspicion. How did she know all this about me? As I was about to say something, she ran a finger across my cheek.

"You better hurry and enjoy your running, Sonic. Treasure it while you can."

I snatched her hand off my face and as I was about to run she ran her hand across my arm and I ran off at supersonic speed, in which no one on the face of the planet could ever catch me. This was my night and I was going to enjoy it up in the mountains looking up at the stars. I still didn't know that this was my last night ever running alive and feeling alive as well.

Ok, for those of you now wanting to know how I'm going to die here it is.

They say when you die, it really hurts but as I said before, for me it didn't.

I was up across town when I stopped to rest a minute and gaze at the stars and the moon I was so taken by the beauty of them and if I hadn't closed my eyes, I might have noticed that the noises in the streets behind me, the voices, the attacks. But for just that moment I was feeling so wild and free and so at peace that I had no problem not listening to the noises of the outside world. For the moment, I simply didn't care.

Sadly, these last few moments of me at peace would be the last moments of my life I would ever have. Before I could even react a man came out of the shadows and pointed a gun behind me and as I heard it cock. I turned around to see him pull the trigger and not be able to feel the bullet plunge through my skin and into my heart. And sadly, I didn't see his face.

It was 8:45 pm, July 7, 2006, and I was dead.

Wow. Me, Sonic The Hedgehog, supposed to faster than a speeding bullet gets killed by one. How's that for a dying reputation?

Hope you enjoyed it! And please review and comment!
