Chapter 1: The Nightmare
A/N: (Note that all characters in this story are two years older. Neither Cream nor Zoran (My Original Character) are set to appear. They'll make an amusing appearance at the very, very end.)
And remember, those who are Star-Crossed are set for a tragic fall…
Lightning struck down from the sky, its splendor flashing in the sky. Yet the thunder did not wake the orange fox in the room, despite his terrible fear of it. Tails was sleeping deeply indeed, and he was dreaming a very disturbing dream.
In his dream, he saw what looked like an insane bear looking at them, a terrible evil smile on his face. Tails tried to move, but he saw there were titanium chains on his feet and hands, which were on the wall. Titanium was lighter than steel, but much stronger, and Tails knew he wouldn't be able to break out of these chains. Tails saw the mad creature move its vile lips, but he couldn't hear anything. When the creature moved out of his view, he saw his beloved Cosmo on the other side, chained to the wall as well, powerless to do anything, and she wasn't awake. "Cosmo!" he tried to cry, but to no avail, as for she was unconscious.
In the center of the room, Tails noticed a silver spinning dagger. It spun faster and faster and faster, and the faster it spun, the louder he could hear the bear's terrible laughter. It was as if terror had seized his heart, as cold as death's horrifying hand, slowly reaching out and ripping it from his chest…
The dagger spun faster, faster, faster, until it finally stopped suddenly, pointing straight at him.. The anthropomorphic (humanoid) bear roared with an even worse laugh than before, and grabbed the dagger from the table, and got prepared to throw it straight at the young fox's innocent heart.
At last, Cosmo awoke, but alas, it was to see the last thing she would want to see. Tails closed his eyes and heard her scream, before opening them and seeing the dagger leave the bear's hand in a flash, and seeing the dagger protrude from his own heart… He fell to the ground, and the world seemed to spin…
Tails awoke sweat all over his face. He had fallen asleep while working on one of his inventions again. "I knew I shouldn't have stayed up so late." He berated himself. At least he had gotten some rest.
Cosmo then walked in the room, with her usual grand splendor. She had brought the young fox some breakfast. "Oh, I told you not to stay up so late Tails." She reminded him. "I know you're working so hard, but you should get some rest too."
"I know." He replied. "Thanks for bringing me breakfast." Cosmo lovingly gave him a kiss before leaving the room.
Tails thought on the nightmare. Bear, dagger, death. It was all meaningless. There was no bear in the area. He had nothing to fear. Yet still fear was gripping him. To try to ease his fear, he set himself to adding modification to the plane, and it slowly did release his fear.
The disturbing dream had almost left his mind, hours later, while he was happily working on the plane, until Sonic came rushing into the room. "You won't believe what is happening out there! There's some bear trying to control the city. He's as stupid as Eggman!"
Tails didn't hear anything else, but some bear… "There's some bear…" "There's some bear…" The words echoed in his mind, and terror once again, seized his heart.
A/N I know my chapters are short right now, but I'll try to make them longer later. Please Read and Review
