I sat in front of a window. The weather outside…it was ever-changing. Nothing ever stayed the same for too long. Right now…it was raining. Cold water seeped through the ground, soaking everything with misery.
I sighed, placing the mug of tasteless tea on the small desk by my side. It was the only thing I ever really drank, never mind ate, these days. My body looked half-starved, my ribs starting to show through my fur. It reminded me of life as a child…living on the streets, beaten and starving. Of course, I could eat at any time I wanted to as of right now, but I didn't see the use. Everything would die sooner or later. And with the way life was…sooner was better.
Since last week, everything was going downhill. A while ago, I had asked out someone I had had a crush on for a while, but when that bastard Eggman had captured her, tortured her, raped her, and then threw her bloody body at my feet…I went berserk. Just because he had a gun and wanted me to suffer before I died, I was still an animal, and as such had claws and teeth. Eggman was too fat and slow, barely getting off the couch. I let him suffer; letting blood slowly seep out of his windpipe, and he could only watch as I slowly ate him alive…
And it was only after my friends found me, nearly down to his bones, that they were forced to knock me out and send me to an asylum. They thought I was crazy, insane, a maniac, but I wasn't; I only snapped. They couldn't let me out soon enough.
Now today…it seemed everyone was either dead or worried about me. Shadow…he was assassinated by a GUN agent. Amy…she met the same fate as Cream when she realized she was being stalked by a wolf down an alley. Knuckles…Eggman stole the Master Emerald, and Knuckles wasn't able to get off the island before it crashed into the sea. Sally had been slaughtered along with the rest of her kingdom by an invading army. All of the mechas…all died in some accident or another, or killed by Sonic. The only ones left…Sonic, who had never left my side, until I had started to grow up enough to live on my own. Rouge…she was a thief. If she was in a shadow, you could never find her. Manic and Sonia…I really had no idea where those two were. Big…no one really cared about him, so he was safe.
They all cared about me…Sonic was planning a party to cheer me up, get me to actually eat, just a little something to improve my health. Everyone he and I knew were invited to come…and it was in a few hours…
But maybe…I wouldn't have to deal with life anymore, and they wouldn't have to look after me. As of late, Sonic had been coming over to visit and check up on me. But I could tell that even though he wanted to, he couldn't anymore; it was just too taxing on him, and he had more than me to deal with. Everyone did.
Grinning, I rose from the chair I was sitting in, my thin back starting to hurt from lack of support, but this would be worth it. I slowly made my way into the kitchen, and from there to the medicine cabinet. Taking a small bottle from it, a brownish liquid swirling around inside, I slipped it into my shoe, the letters "A-R-C-E" facing up. No one would have to worry anymore…
