A Bit Different Chapter Four B: Learning

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog

Summary: Sometimes, who you think you are isn’t you. Sometimes, the easiest answer isn’t always the right one. Sometimes, the truth you believe is a lie.

A/N: Not much to say right now. It’s a chapter. Whoo. This was inspired by @squigglydigglydoo, @spiritsonic, @monpian, and @whatisthisnonsense’s “Sonic is an alien” theory. So yeah. Enjoy.

————————-

Jasper and Spirit led the Mayims through the strange home of the Hedgehogs which was filled with brown, flimsy homes and wooden staffs with dead animals and other material hanging from it. Bracha noted that these must be a species that needs to consume others for their energy. They felt pity for the Hedgehogs. That would be a sad existence.

There were many different kinds of hedgehogs. Most were dark colors like brown or black, but some were different. Some were pale green like Jasper or they where a light pink. One was even white. Bracha noticed that none were blue or yellow. Maybe they could not look like that? Or they wished to mutate differently maybe?

Spirit stopped and turned to the Mayims he said something and then ducked into one of the flimsy homes. A few moments passed and they came out with some other flimsy material. They handed it to Bracha and Reut.

“Clothes,” they said. They then gestured to Jasper and Bracha noticed for the first time that the green Hedgehog had the material called Clothes draped over them. When Jasper noticed the two simply staring they sighed and said something to Jasper before walking away. The second Hedgehog walked over to the two Mayims and helped them put the Clothes on.

Bracha thought it was strange, but they would not question the Hedgehogs customs. They lived in a much different world that Bracha would once the Bayit was fixed. They would have some odd things that did not make sense to the Mayims.

Spirit returned again with eight objects in their arms. They looked similar to the Clothes but stiffer.

“Shoes,” Spirit told them pointing to their feet where a pair were resting. They saw that the Mayims did not get what to do after they handed the objects to them so the brown Hedgehog and Jasper helped to place the Shoes on the Mayims’ feet.

Bracha thought it was weird. They could not feel the ground below their feet. It was not uncomfortable, just strange.

“What about Mem?” Akiba asked, gesturing to Mem. Neither of the Hedgehogs had made a move to give the Clothes or Shoes to their friend. Jasper stared at them in confusion for a moment before realization dawned on their face.

They said something to Spirit and the other Hedgehog let out an audible breath of air and left, returning a moment later with another pair of Shoes. They walked over to Mem, but found that their feet were the wrong shape for the Shoes. They would not fit.

“Sorry,” Spirit told them. Bracha did not get what the word meant. It was not an object or person. They also doubted it was an insult as the Hedgehog did not seem to be angry or harsh. Maybe it was their way of saying “it does not fit?”

Bracha was taken out of their musings by a loud cry. They Mayims and Hedgehogs turned to see a pale pink Hedgehog with long spikes come running towards them.

“Spirit!” they cried out in a high pitched voice. They told the other Hedgehog something and their eyes widened. Suddenly, Spirit and Jaspers were running after the pink Hedgehog.

“Come on!” Baruch said, chasing after the three. Reut and Akiba quickly followed, but Bracha stayed back with Mem. They were not as fast as Bracha and the others. In fact, they were even slower than the Hedgehogs when they ran.

Bracha waited while Mem lost their form until they were simply a puddle of liquid as they could move much faster that way. Then the two followed after the others.

------------

Reut stared in horror at the sight in front of them as hands grabbed and pulled them out of the flimsy home. They could not believe what they had just seen.

They had made it to the flimsy home that Jasper and Spirit had ducked into and they wanted to see what had been inside, though they were not allowed in.

The light brown Hedgehog who had brought them from the pool of liquid to the Hedgehogs was standing outside with their eyes trained on the Mayims, arms crossed. They had been sitting outside the home when Bracha and Mem caught up.

“Why are you sitting out here?” they had asked.

“We are not supposed to go in,” Reut answered.

“Why not?” Bracha asked, confused.

That’s when they noticed the horrible screeching.

Reut did not hesitate. They jumped up and dashed inside the home, determined to help whoever was hurt, but was stopped by what they saw.

They stared at the Hedgehog lying in front of them. They were screaming in pain and a dark red liquid was everywhere. Reut did not understand what was happening or what the other Hedgehogs in the home were doing. Was the screaming Hedgehog dying? Was that what was happening? Before they could see anything else, the light brown Hedgehog grabbed them and pulled them outside and pushed them towards their friends, growling something.

Reut did not answer their friend’s questions, they simply sat down next to them and stared up into the sky. Mem came over and stood beside them.

“What is that screaming?” they asked. Reut took a moment to respond.

“A Hedgehog,” they said. “I think they are dying.” Reut described what they had seen to the others in the tent. As they spoke the screaming became louder and louder. The Mayims sat there listening and trying to remember the funeral rights they had been taught as little ones. After what felt like an eternity, the screaming quieted down. For a few moments, all was quiet. Then a soft crying was heard.

Jasper popped their head out of the flimsy home and looked over at the Mayims, surprising Reut as they had not seen the Hedgehog in there before. Jasper gestured for the group to come into the home. They looked at each other before standing and following.

As they entered, the young ones were expecting to see a dead Hedgehog and cold sadness, but that was not what they saw. The Hedgehog was sitting up and baring their white mouth things. A bundle of Clothes was in their arms.

Jasper walked up to the Hedgehog and said something to them. A moment later they walked back over with the Clothes. They knelt down and showed the Mayims the Clothes and inside, they saw a small, tiny version of a Hedgehog. Reut stared in fascination.

“Baby,” Jasper said. “Baby Hedgehog.” They placed their hand that was not holding the Hedgehog on Bracha. “Reut.” They then placed their hand on their chest. “Jasper.” They looked at the Hedgehog in their arms. “Ruby.”

Ruby opened their eyes and stared at the Mayim and gurgled. Was this a little one for the Hedgehogs? They looked exactly the same though. Maybe they mutated differently?

Reut was taken out of their musings by Ruby placing their hand on the Mayim. A sudden surge of warmth spread through their center as they stared into the Baby Hedgehog’s eyes.

“Hello,” they whispered quietly to Ruby who cooed at the larger figure. Reut did not want to move from that spot ever.

Then the light brown Hedgehog came barging in, yelling about Mayims.
