I am Shadow the Hedgehog. I am part of a terrible curse. There are seven of us. We spent six of our years together, yet we do not remember each others’ faces, due to a memory spell. We separated so they cannot find us. We each have a power, but must hide them so we may blend in. It has been a few years since we have disbanded, but I have a feeling that’s all about to change.

Chapter 1- It starts here…

Shadow

Ugh. I have to take this test again?! Shadow stared down at his papers. He had already taken a test on this at his last school, but oh well. He quickly filled in the answers and turned it in. While he waited for everyone to finish, he tried again to remember the faces of his fellow curse members. No luck. Oh well. I can never seem to remember. I continue to try. It’s easier remembering those memories than those of my early past… He shook his head at the thought. “Okay class! Time to go!” the teacher said. Yes, finally! Shadow hurried out of the school that he had been going to for the past few months. It wasn’t that bad. There were many different people, humans and animals alike. That reminded him of one detail about the curse. They were definitely all animals. He walked back to his apartment settled down. How much longer can we hide? Are we going to have to find each other?

It was the next day. This day started different from others. There were a few new kids. “And I would like you to meet our new students,” the teacher announced. “This is Sonic, Tails, and Amy.” Hm. This is interesting. Something seemed familiar about them. Sonic was a green eyed blue hedgehog with red and white shoes with a gold buckle. Tails was a blue eyed yellow fox with, obviously, two tails. Amy was a green eyed pink hedgehog with a red dress and a matching red headband. She wore gold cuffs on her wrists. “Now let’s get on with our lesson.” Time seemed to drag on and on but finally lunch came around. Shadow observed the newcomers from a distance. People flocked around them and asked them questions. Sonic seemed to bask in the attention, Amy just wanted to be near him and narrowed her eyes at all the girls looking his way, while Tails just sort of stayed quiet until he was asked something. Quite an interesting group. Now why do they seem so familiar? I wonder…

Sonic

Here we are again. Back at yet ANOTHER new school. Well, let’s see how this one goes… People kept asking “Why’s your name Sonic?” He smirked. Guess it’s time I show them! “I’ll show ya why I’m Sonic the Hedgehog!” He quickly got up and dashed around the cafeteria at supersonic speed. He sat back down and looked around. Everyone’s mouth was hanging open. He smiled at the predicted action but something felt off. He looked around some more and picked out a black hedgehog staring at him. For the rest of the day he couldn’t shake the image of those familiar eyes. Red eyes.

Amy

I’m starting to think this was a bad idea… Why didn’t I ask Sonic to come with me? Amy looked around. She didn’t know how she talked herself into doing this. Right next to the city, there were remains of a ravaged city from a few years ago. She wanted to explore the wreckage and see what there was left. Maybe she would find some rare antique. Whatever. But that wasn’t what was bothering her. She felt as if she were being watched or followed. Suddenly she heard a noise. She turned around to see a huge cage dropping down on top of her.
