Author's Notes: I Haven't uploaded Something in a while... So here's an old story that I wrote last year... Enjoy?
The strong blizzard raged as I ran to catch up with Sonic. I knew if I kept running, I'd find my friend – before he got too far. Finally, I saw him, he was just ahead. I ran faster, and faster. Suddenly, I felt my back foot latch onto my front, and the next thing I knew, I was face-first in the snow. A shiver crawled up my spine as I felt the cold wetness soak into my coat.
"W-wait! I can help now, let me come!" I called.
He looked back, first in confusion – he was obviously wondering why someone would follow him into such dreadful weather – but when he noticed it was me, he smiled in his usual way, and chuckled slightly.
"Were you really going to leave without me Sonic?" I asked, looking up to him - trying to make my blue eyes as pleading as I could.
Sonic walked back to me and helped me up. He was still smiling, but there was something off about it, like it was covering his true emotions. "Not this time buddy," he told me, turning away. "You need to stay in New Mobotropolis. I don't want something to happen to you too."
I could sense the sorrow in his voice, in spite of his cheerful outlook. As I searched his expression for insight into his thoughts, I found the images of our former friends flash past my eyes, and I knew he was thinking of the same thing. Their lives were sacrificed in these pointless killings... He was going for revenge...
"But, I-"
"No, Tails, I'm not going to let you come," he said sternly. "Just, stay here. I'll be back in about an hour." Sonic half-smiled, and gave me a thumbs up.
I looked into his piercing green eyes, they had dulled in the past month, they didn't show that spark they had before: the spark that showed his confidence, and love of life.
As he dashed away into the blizzard, somehow I knew, that he wasn't going to come back.
