That's Not Me

What I did to deserve this, I will never know. I had always tried to help people, and yet they could turn on me so easily. It was a normal day until my friend came by and told me the cops were searching for me. What could they want with me. Only one way to find out.

I waited a little for the police to show up. I lived alone so there was no one there to bug me while i waited. The police soon arrived. I thought they would ask for help, since I was a good person and helped them out before. Instead they told me I was under arrest for commiting various crimes, mostly breaking and entering. Not knowing what else to do I ran away in hopes of finding answers.

Luckily for me I had escaped the police, but now my own friends don't even trust me. It's time for answers I thought, so I snuck in to the city via the sewers and came out of a nearby manhole to find a road full of people. They ignored me though, because their attention was drawn toward someone else. I saw this person and gasped, because he looked a lot like me, but he had different hair and held what I took to be a weapon of some form in his hand.

He spoke to me saying "there you are you coward. are you surprised to see me". I did not know this person, so I had no idea how to respond. Then I realized that this guy was the reason the police were after me, and he was taunting me. I got angry and charged at him, but he countered my attacks and landed a bunch of hard punches to my torso which knocked me to the ground.

How was he so fast? He walked away saying " the police will be by soon. tell them I said hi". "Wait" I struggled to my feet "just who are you"?. He turned to me with a malicious grin and I saw clearly what he held: a shiny stone. He said to me "I am Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog". The next thing that happened was I blacked out, but as I did I heard screaming, laughter and police sirens.
