and noticed the sun was setting. Sonic raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Why's the day ending so quickly?" He asked. Scourge got up, "It only takes Jaria twelve and a half hours to rotate around Dekai." He said. "Who?"

 

"The Sun God of Jaria. We believe that Dekai is the reason why we have light. He is in the middle of our solar system." Sonic stayed quiet. 'Wow,' he thought. ' Scourge may be a jackass but he's pretty smart.'

 

"It's past curfew for upper class," Scourge said. "It's already 6 : 00." Sonic blinked, "Six o'clock already? But it's pretty dark out." Scourge sighed, "You don't understand, Blue." He looked at the river again. This time the colour changed back to clear. "So. . . Why're we here again?"

 

"Because I like it here." Scourge said, a smirk on his face. "I thought you said you'd help me get home!" Sonic cried. "I was joking, Blue," Scourge laughed. "Youre stuck here, Blue. Forever."

 

"FOREVER?!"

 

"Clean your ears out! You can never leave this book until the text says so!" Sonic stopped talking. He didn't like the sound of that. He then shivered and cleared his throat, "Scourge."

 

"What is it, Blue?"

 

"Take me back to the castle."

"Where is it? Where is it?!" Back at the castle, Sonic ran into the royale library. He frantically searched the shelves for a spell book, but so far no luck. All of the books were in another language, and hard to even READ. "Is there any book in English?!" He cried.

 

Scourge and Launa peeked through the doorway. "Should we help him?" Launa whispered. "No. I actually want him here." Scourge smirked. "If you say so. . ." Launa murmured.

 

Sonic ran around the massive room anxiously. After twenty minutes of looking at the shelves, he got exhausted. "These books look all the same," he sighed. "All in a different language!"

 

Launa sighed and tosses Sonic a book. It was a spell book with English text, alongwith the weird language.

Sonic raised a brow but took it anyway. He quickly flipped through the pages, desperately looking for a spell that will take him home. None of these spells could take him home. "I want to go home!!" He cried angrily. "This place is so creepy!"

 

Launa suddenly had a great idea. "Let's go," she whispered, dragging Scourge away from the library door. Sonic sighed and threw the book to the floor. He walked out of the library. "I'm so pissed off," he muttered.

 

He looks around for Launa and Scourge. "Yo! Anyone here?" He called. "In here, Sonic!" Came Launa's voice. Apparently Launa was outside. Sonic glanced at the door that lead outside the castle. He walked out and gasped.

 

"Wow!" He cried. He looked around. There were beautiful flowers, like roses, violets and daisies. It was warm outside, and the sun shined brightly.

 

Sonic looked at Launa, and she was on the swingset. Her dark brown quills bounced as she swings up and down. "Do you like it?" She asked. Sonic nods. "It's the most beautiful scenery I've ever, uh . . . Seen!" He chuckled. "Where's Scourge?"

 

"At Heaven's Lake," replied the little hedgegirl. "Heaven's Lake? Where's that?"

 

Launa dragged her feet on the ground and rolled her eyes. "Behind me, Sir Asks-a-lot-of-pointless-questions!" She pointed to a beautiful lake behind her. Sonic looked that direction and smiled, "Okay, then. And nice nickname for me." He joked and ran off to the lake.

As Sonic ran, he suddenly heard strange singing. It sounded more high pitched, calm and mellow. Sonic looked around. He was standing in the middle of a faery forest. "Ichigio Hills," he mumbled. "That's where Lancelot met Tiger in the story." He ran faster, listening to the singing.

 

He finally came to a stop and spotted a little faery girl with blonde hair, a four leaf clover beret in her hair and a green dress, sitting at the lake with Scourge. She giggled and started talking in another language. Sonic couldn't understand what she was saying. He wondered what was going on. He decided to walk over and ask what's up. "Hey, Green-o!" He called.

 

Scourge looked up, "Speak of the devil," he muttered. "What is it Blue? Where's Launa?" He asked. Sonic pointed east, "Back at the gardens. Is this Heaven Lake?" The faery girl nods, "Yup! Located in Ichigo Hills! By the way, I'm Tiger!" Tiger fluttered her tiny wings and smiled. "Are you an outsider? You don't look familiar." She muttered.

 

"Well, I got transported here and I'm looking for a way out," replied Sonic. Tiger nods and taps her chin with her dainty little fingers. "I see. I can try and help ya. It depends, though."

 

"Depends on what?"

 

"If you're a character in the story, you can't leave unless the text says so."

 

Sonic raised a brow, "But this book is at my house, in my room." Scourge rolls his eyes, "So if someone finds this book and adds more text, we're fucked up." He added. "No cursing!" Tiger snapped. Scourge smirked, "Whatever." Sonic looked down, "I'll call my sister and tell her to - "

 

"We don't have phones here." Tiger said. "Only royals have phones." Scourge took his iPhone out and showed it to Sonic. "I can only call those who live in Jaria." He muttered. Sonic took the phone and looked at it. "Oh. How about I send my siblings a FaceBook message or Wattpad message or - "

 

"It won't work," Tiger said. "We don't have Internet. The only place that has Internet here is the Pearl Isles, and we're fighting against them." Sonic nods, "Oh yeah! You're in war with them like in the story!" Tiger shrugs, "Yep. We're lacking supplies to survive, and its all Scourge's fault."

 

"Shut up, it's not!" Scourge pouted. "I'm still young, okay?! You're what, 200 years old? I'm only a young adult!"

 

"Hes got a point there, Ti," Sonic replied. "Cut him some slack." Tiger crossed her arms, "FYI, I'm 250, not 200." Sonic rolled his eyes. "Is everyone here immortal or something?" Tiger shakes her head, "Only the faeries and dragons are immortal here." She said. The three friends stayed quiet for a while, until Scourge noticed the sun setting. "Wow, it's already the ninth hour." He muttered. "Better get going."

 

"Ninth hour?" Sonic tilted his head to the side. "We only have 12 hours a day here," Tiger replied. "Wow, this place is pretty weird." Sonic muttered and walked out of the forest. Scourge followed, and so did Tiger.

When everyone got back from the lake, Sonic was exhausted. He walked into the palace, stretching and yawning. Tiger fluttered over to Sonic, "Tired already?" Sonic nods, "Yea, I guess. He walks into his room and lays down, staring at the ceiling. He closed his eyes, only flashbacks now taking over his head.

 

He remembered the conversation between him and Scourge about Falador. He remembered the three girls dressed as faeries. He remembered hearing Scourge sing in a strange language. He couldn't take more of this fantasy world. He wanted to leave.

 

Suddenly, there was a knock. "Enter," said Sonic as Scourge slowly stepped in. "Hey, Blue," he muttered, looking down. "Oh, hi." Sonic frowned. Scourge sits on Sonic's bed, "Um. . . I just have a question." Scourge mumbled, twiddling with his fingers and messing with his crown. "Make it quick," Sonic snapped.

"Do you like it here?" Scourge asked. Sonic sighs, "If I told you, you'd probably hate me."

 

"I already hate you, but I just want to know."

 

Sonic nods, "I want to go home. What if my siblings are looking for me?" Suddenly, he mentally slapped himself. "My siblings!" Scourge looked at Sonic, "Say wha - ? What about them?" Sonic stood up.

 

"I have to make sure Manic and Sonia are okay! God damn it!" He cursed. "It's all my fault! I'm stuck here forever, and now my siblings probably have a search party going on!" Sonic sighed, "I should've listened to the librarian at the library. I can't believe this is happening to me. . ." Scourge stayed silent for a while. "If I tell Manic and Sonia about everything that happened, they'll either laugh at me, send me to a therapist or worse!"

 

Sonic felt tears fall from his face. "I - I can't believe it. . . tell me this is a dream. Just tell me that this is a stupid, pointless, endless dream." Scourge sighed, "Are you always so worked up over something so stupid?" He asked. "Just calm down, Blue. We'll find a way to get you out of here. I might know someone who can help. Maybe." Sonic looked up, eyes full of hope. "Really? Do you think you can get me out of here and back to the real world - er - my world?"

 

"I think I can take you to them," Scourge muttered, "But it's already 9:30. You really need to lay down." Sonic nods, "Yeah. But I'm not tired." Scourge rolled his eyes. "We'll fix that," he smirked. Sonic blushed, 'Where is he going with this?' he thought.

 

"As a matter of fact, I'm gonna rest up a little." Sonic said quickly. Scourge shrugs, "Alright. See you later. . . Uh. . ."

 

"Sonic."

 

"Yeah. Bye." He walks out, closing the door behind him. Sonic stares at the ceiling, deep in thought. 'Why is Scourge acting nicer to me? In the story, he was described as the mean, young king. And he's very demanding.' Sonic turned on the lamp on, and the room was no longer dark.

 

He suddenly heard a strange noise. It sounded like a bird flapping its wings, and it was coming from outside the room. Sonic groaned, and walked over. He opened his window, and saw three strange lights, flying around. 'They must be nymphs,' Sonic thought.

 

The nymphs were all giggling, and flying about.
