Description
The golden Hedgehog held his breath as his legs trembled. He could hear the faint sound of breathing. The sound of a door creaking echoed through the corridor and vibrated through the cold, wooden floor boards in Static's room. In his parent's room, the two elder Hedgehogs were sleeping soundlessly on their bed. Their door slightly opened allowing a slight bit of light to peek into the dark room. The screeching sound of a blade coming out of its pocket reached the young Hedgehog's ear. He silently whimpered and his hands shook like leaves.

Before Static could even comprehend what was actually happening, a high pitched scream screeched through the house followed by a manlier scream. Static cried and peeked through his door. He watched silently as the tears trickled down his pale muzzle. A dark figure hobbled down the hall. It was holding a blade...dripping with blood. The figure looked back at Static and smirked evilly at him before disappearing into the shadows...

A single, crystalline tear ran down his muzzle; leaking away his precious memories as they slowly fell to the floor.

"M-mom…Daddy…" Static chocked as his nose started running whilst the water flushed out of his eyes. Collapsing to the floor in his never-ending plea to bring his parents back, Static's ears lowered as he thought of what just had happened…he is now known as Static the Hedgehog…the boy with no parents…

He gasped. Shaking his head to erase the frightening memory, Static stood up and shook the sand out of his fur. The fire flicked in his eyes as he turned his attention to the fire which was slowly dying out. A Rose hedgehog stirred in her sleep as her dreams whisked away and her eyes started to flutter open, exposing her emerald eyes to the forest standing before her.

"St-Static…" she mumbles wearily as stretched her arms out. Static turned around to face Amy, his light blue eyes focusing on her tattered and drenched clothes. She yawned quietly as her eyes fully opened as she was completely awake.

"Amy…?" Static questioned as he smiled nervously, raising an eyebrow as a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. Amy frowned as she stood up and dusted the sand off of her clothes.

"What are you doing?" Amy said as she crossed her arms and gave the golden hedgehog a stern glare. Static sighed before turning his body to fully face her. Something clicked. No. It was not between the two hedgehogs. It was something underneath Static's foot. "Static…?" Amy said as she studied the floor beneath him. In a blink of an eye, a roped net shot up around Static, lifting him up in the air in a cage of the sandy material which was attached to a leaning palm tree not far away from where the fire laid.

"Static!" Amy shouted in terror as she ran over to the trap that was holding the hedgehog in the air. They both tugged on the rope in an attempt to free him when the faint sound of footsteps echoed from behind them. They gasped.

"Arr, look what we 'ave 'ere." A deep voice spoke as the footsteps stopped. Standing there was a red echidna. He had deep violet eyes and a smirk to match. He wore a ripped white shirt and tattered boots. A single green shard from a rare looking gem, hung loosely around his neck by a thin rope. He cracked his knuckles and walked in circles around Amy and Static, eyeing them closely. "So…what do you two scallywags think you are doin' on me island, eh?"

Amy shook in fear as she back up against the rope trap Static was hanging in.  "W-we were j-just…um…" she couldn't finish. She had no answer.

An eyebrow rose on the face of the echidna as he stopped pacing to look at the hedgehogs. "Somethin' bit your tongue, eh, lassie? You don't tell me why your 'ere and you will end up just like your friend did." He yelled in response to Amy's short answer. She whimpered quietly and back up more.

"Hey! Leave us alone! We are only 'ere because our ship got destroyed!" Static yelled back, flashing his fangs at the echidna.  He chuckled evilly as stepped up towards Static, sticking his huge fist up to his face.

"Ye talk back without out permission then I'll introduce ye to me friend pa-"

"Oi, Knucklehead! Leave the poor guy and his friend alone!" A female voice shouted from the darkness of the forest. A deep blush rose to his cheeks as a snow coloured bat stepped into the moon light. She has crystal cyan eyes and short hair. She sported a red and white striped bandana and white, ripped shirt underneath a leather waistcoat which was covered in what seemed to be small jewels. A smirk graced her tanned muzzle as she strutted over to the red-faced echidna.  "Stirring up trouble again are we, Knuxy?" She purred as she tickled his chin, her words embroidered with seduction.

"N-no!" His choked, the embarrassment rising as shown through the bright red hue on his muzzle, "I was checking who was trespassing on our island!" The bat sighed and shook her head. She reached to her sword's handle and pulled out the blade. With a quick slice, the rope net was dropped to thr ground along with a shocked golden hedgehog.

"Uh…thanks…?" Static said confused as he stood up and rubbed his head from the pain of falling to the floor.

"Don't sweat it. The name's Rouge. Rouge the Bat and mister grumpy over here is Knuckles." Rouge said putting out her gloved hand for him to shake, "The pleasure is all mine." Static smiled and gratefully shook her hand.

"Static's the name and this 'ere be my friend and crew, Amy." Static said as he motioned towards the cowering pink hedgehog.

"Hi…" she mumbled quietly, barely audible. She nervously kicked at the damp sand beneath her feet as her knees trembled slightly from the shock and fear. Rouge easily noticed her expression and smirked.

"Why so scared, honey? We aren't going to hurt you…" Rouge spoke gently, wrapping her arm around Amy's shoulders and rubbing her upper arm with her hand. Amy shuddered slightly at Rouge's cold touch; she felt more uncomfortable than she did before.

"So…tell me…" Knuckles said crossing his arms. "What are you guys going here on our island?" Amy glanced at Rouge before turning to face Knuckles. She breathed in.

"Well… Me and Static were on our ship with our crew and our two other friends, Electra and Shadow when something happened…although I can't remember from there…" Amy said looking down as she tried to regain her thoughts from what happened back on the ship.

"We were walking back onto our ship when it started to become dark. The clouds were black and no light was shining through." Static continued, "We thought that it was the Ghost ship from one of our previous encounters. The ship became misty, and no one could see a thing. Amy was inside the ship for protection from what was happening above when she opened the door to the main deck, although…something was wrong.

"She had darker fur…and she seemed almost lifeless. She started attacking Electra, her older sister, and she scratched her through the eye; she also cut her hair as well. That's when the floor of the ship fell through. We all got separated, and me and Amy ended up here…" Static concluded. He looked down at his feet before looking up at Amy whose eyes were wide with shock.

"Oh…that sounds terrible!" Rouge spoke with concern. She turned her attention to the fire and picked up some sticks from the floor and started to add them to the fire, lighting it once again. A small grunt came from Knuckles' lips and he turned away.

"That Ghost ship has done no good…it has hurt, killed and drove people insane…" Knuckles observed as he turned his gaze towards the rough seas. His mind swimming through his mere memories of his encounters with the haunted ship.

"So…how did you two get here…?" Rouge's eyes widened as she dropped the stick into the fire as Knuckles immediately turned his attention to Amy who announced the question.

"We…uh…" Rouge stammered as she tried to come up with an answer, but she couldn't speak…she had lost her words…
