Family Together: Sonic The Hedgehog story (My AU)

1. The Mysterious Letter

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Letter

On a bright and sunny day in Mobius, Sonic sat at his kitchen table, enjoying a peaceful morning with a cup of tea. Shadow, sitting across from him, was engrossed in the newspaper.

Shadow looked up from the paper, his piercing ruby eyes meeting Sonic's emerald gaze. "Sonic, there's a letter for you. It arrived in the mail this morning."

Sonic's curiosity was piqued as he reached for the envelope, noticing the unfamiliar handwriting on the front. The letter felt oddly warm in his hands, stirring a sense of déjà vu within him.

Shadow raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Sonic's reaction. "What does it say?"

Sonic furrowed his brow, reading the contents of the letter aloud in a British accent. "Dear Sonic, I know you feel a familiarity in your surroundings. Come to Blacklands Manor, the abandoned orphanage on Elm Street. You'll find the answers you seek. Sincerely, a friend."

Sonic and Shadow exchanged puzzled glances, contemplating the enigmatic invitation. The mention of Blacklands Manor struck a chord within Sonic's memory, as if he had a connection to that place.

In the midst of their contemplation, Blaze walked into the kitchen, dressed in her school uniform, ready for her freshman year of high school. "Hey, guys, what's going on?"

Sonic looked up, his emerald eyes meeting Blaze's fiery gaze. "I received a mysterious letter, Blaze. It's inviting me to Blacklands Manor, the abandoned orphanage on Elm Street."

Blaze's eyes widened with concern. "Sonic, you can't go alone. It could be dangerous. And what about school?"

Sonic smiled reassuringly. "Blaze, I appreciate your concern, but I need to figure out what's going on. However, you need to go to school and focus on your studies. It's important for your future."

Shadow, standing up from his chair, nodded in agreement. "Sonic's right, Blaze. We can't all go. Someone needs to take care of Cream and Elizabeth."

Blaze sighed, torn between her worry for Sonic and her desire to be there for him. "Fine, but be careful, Sonic. We'll be waiting for you when you get back."

Sonic moved towards Blaze, placing a gentle hand on her arm. "Thank you, Blaze. I'll be careful. Just promise me you'll take care of Cream and Elizabeth while I'm away."

Blaze nodded, determination in her eyes. "Of course, Sonic. They'll be safe with me."

With a reassuring smile, Sonic turned to Shadow. "Shadow, can you drop Cream and Elizabeth off at daycare? I trust you with their safety."

Shadow nodded, his stoic expression softening as he replied, "Of course, Sonic. I'll make sure they're well taken care of."

As Sonic and Shadow finalized their plans, Cream's voice echoed from the other room, where she was playing with Elizabeth. "Daddy, what's happening? Are you leaving?"

Sonic walked towards Cream's voice, crouching down to her level. "Cream, don't worry. I just have to investigate something, but I promise I'll be back soon. Blaze and Shadow will take care of you while I'm away. Okay?"

Cream nodded, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and trust. "Okay, Daddy. Please be safe."

Sonic's heart warmed at Cream's unwavering faith in him. "Thank you, Cream. I'll be back before you know it."

With that, Sonic, feeling a renewed sense of purpose, left the house. As he made his way towards Blacklands Manor, he couldn't help but wonder what secrets awaited him within its walls.
