I'm Already There

This is sad..In my eyes. I was listening to "I'm Already There" and thought of this.
Knuckles closed his eyes, leaning against a wall tiredly. Sonic lay on the ground beside him, dead. The echidna took a look at his once-rival, then had to look away in disgust. Disgust at himself. He had let Sonic die..He had watched him fall to the ground, limp forever. The fastest thing alive had been shot down by Robotnik..At last.
Knuckles took a breath and leaned over, grabbing a phone that was nearby. He dialed a quick number, and prayed for her to be there...just not the other. After a moment..
"Hello?" It was Sally. Oh god, this was going to be hard.
"Hello, Sally." He replied, his voice distraught and dry. He licked his lips, trying to get his voice back.
"Knuckles? Oh my god! Are you all right? You sound terrible! Is Sonic there, can I speak to him?" The last question sent a shiver down Knuckle's spine. He coughed and spoke quietly.
"I have something to tell you Sally...It's about...Sonic.." Just then he heard a little girl's voice and cursed to himself as Alison Acorn's voice was heard on the other end of the phone.
He called her on the road
From a lonely hotel
Just to hear her say I love you
One more time
When he heard a sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
And to wipe away a tear from his eye
Little voice came on the phone
Said "Daddy when you coming home?"
He said the first thing that came to his mind...
"Uncle Knuckles? When are you and Daddy comin' home?" Knuckles gulped at the girl's question, struck at the heart by her sweet, innocent voice. He looked back down at the motionless body of the blue hedgehog, and replied.
I'm already there
Take a look around you
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know
I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm Already There
"He's already there sweety. Take a look around you. He's your shadow..standing right there looking over you." He heard the girl hiccup and then heard her asking her mommy..
"Momma, Uncle Knuckles says that Daddy's already here. What does he mean?" He heard Sally give a little gasp and ask for the phone. As soon as he heard her give a small and meek "Knuckles?" He sighed.
"I'm sorry...Sonic's gone Sally...I'm so sorry." And then he stood there, listening to her quiet sobs, his eyes closed in sympathy. He heard the small girl asking why was mommy crying? Can she speak to Daddy? And he cried too, knowing that she'd never again speak to her daddy.
She got back on the phone
Said "I really miss you darling"
Don't worry about the kids
They'll be alright.
The shy one's in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know I will be in your dreams tonight.
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light
Then close your eyes
He continued crying as he heard Sally reassuring her daughter, telling her what she thought was right. He cried as he heard her words.
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whipser in the wind
And I'll be there till the end
Can you feel
The love that we share?
Oh I'm already there
He knew...Sonic wouldn't come back...He was too far gone. But he was already there.
He was already home.
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you
Wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there till the end
Can you feel
The love that we share?
Oh I'm Already There
End.
Like I said. Sad. Sorry to all you Sonic fans, I promise he won't die in any other stories.
