It didn't feel like rain, it felt more like pool dropped on your head.
Rain is meant to fall on you easily and roll over you onto the ground, not push you down like a weight.
Tails couldn't see far ahead of him, while normally at this time one could see easily, the overhead storage container of water blackened the skies.
Tails dared not stop, he was skipping nervously along the path, he didn't want to run in these conditions, yet he didn't want to move slowly either.
Tails for most of the day was fixing up the home of the rabbit Vanilla and her daughter Cream, a storm night before had broken appliances within their home and Tails volunteered to fix them.
Despite his young age, the two tailed fox had a knack for inanimate objects and within the day fixed everything in the home.
That storm came out of nowhere, then the day was clear blue skies and now this storm has come out of nowhere again, while it didn't feel as bad as last one, it wasn't the place to be out in.
Tails was going along the path at a good speed, the constant cold sensation of water against his fur.
It wasn't even a storm when he left their house not long ago, just drizzle.
'You sure you don't want stay here, could be another storm' Vanilla said to Tails at the door, 'I don't want to cause any problems' Tails replied, 'Tails, you fixed our home for free, how on earth could you be any problem?' Vanilla said 'Nah, but thanks anyways' Tails said as he slipped out the door, he hated the idea of being a burden. Still the offer now seemed like it wouldst have been a bad idea in hindsight, still too far now, got to keep going along the path.
Tails swore that he would have gotten somewhere recognizable by now, he stopped dead and attempted to get a better look at his surroundings, then a stream formed out of nowhere underneath him and pulled the fox too the ground on his back, already Tails was being swept along this new slide with vision becoming even worse.
Tails could barely see anything, all his senses distorted, it was like going down a tube in the dark.
Tails tried to yell out 'Help! Somebody help!', but what ended coming out was more along the lines of 'AHKLASJGKJLAKJGLKJALJ'.
The water was getting deeper and deeper, the eight year old could feel himself slowly rising from the ground which he had been bumping on up to now.
The fox kept on getting bumped into things and shaken all around, standing was no use and he couldn't get the strength to pull out of the water along enough to start flying, not that it would be any use as one of his tails got snagged on something and he felt what like being ripped in two for a few seconds, 'ARRRRRRR!' the pain was immense.
Then finally a great slap to the face, Tails had hit another body of water and he found himself underwater.
Tails was a good swimmer for his age, but this was something else.
The water spun him around as Tails tried to reach the surface (however he didn't know what direction he was going in), he got to the surface for just enough time to take a breath before being dragged under into the cold and dark water.
'I am going to die, I am going to die' Tails thought to himself as he in repeat kept on making it to the surface only to be pulled under again, as if it was playing some sick game on him.
Tails was losing strength, so ironically it was a good thing when he got smashed onto the side of something.
Tails for about the eighth time reached for the surface and grabbed onto the ledge, without further thought he pulled himself out (using the rest of his strength) before the water would suck him back in. Tails didn't even take a moment to breath, he just got up ran straight ahead trying to get away from the water, only to run into another body of water (however this one wasn't moving in a current as the other one was), Tails kicked around and pushed himself up and onto the side , a flash of lightning revealed a building, he ran towards it and felt along the walls until he found something that felt like a door, he pushed on it and it opened.
Tails fell in, coughing all over the ground, time catching up with him.
After a long coughing and breathing season (with some tears), Tails came to some senses and called out 'Hell... HELLO?', but there was no answer, the only noise was the rain pouring against the roof and the occasional thunder.
Tails got to his feet and cringed as it felt like freezing cold needles had been put all around his body. He moved a bit into the room and fell onto something soft. Tails didn't care any more, he buried himself in the soft material, cried softly and quickly fell into a slumber.
