Me:Oy..Looks like Aya finally told them,now what?
All characters belong to their respectful owners
Afterwards,Aya didn't say a thing,she just sat on the bed with questions from all sides,'Why didn't you tell us earlier?' or 'Why does your father do this?',they all gave up eventually and went to sleep,until the clock's bell tolled,waking them up,"It's midnight.." Aya whispered,"Today's the day my mom went to heaven..Mom.." Aya said,a bit louder,she slid her legs over the side of the bed and sighed,Silver walked over to her and sat next to her,"What's wrong?" "I can never sleep when I think of mom..." she said,leaning on Silver's shoulder,he ran his fingers through her hair "I know how you feel Aya,I lost my parents when I was about your age or so" "You did?" Silver nodded,"I did" he replied,she smiled,"I'm glad you're my friend.." she said,Silver hugged the little girl and went over to the little bed Aya made for him,she got up and walked around the room,she looked at the portrait of her mom,the old doll,and her books,she found something "What's this?" she bent down and picked up a gem,not an emerald,though,she put it in her pocket and went to pick up Snowball,her rabbit,she petted Snowball "You miss mom too,don't you Snowball?",The Rabbit was silent,he only blinked,Aya giggled and set him in the basket again,before standing up,suddenly,the temperature dropped,"Huh?" She said,the others felt it too,and woke up "Who turned on the AC?" Sonic asked drowsily "No,one,the room just felt cold all of a sudden.." She replied,Sonic itched the inside of his ear and crossed his arms "You pulling my leg?" "I'm serious!" She snapped,Sonic just blinked at her,she sighed "I'm sorry,I'm just a bit scared..I should get back to bed.." She said,"Good Idea,goodnight" Tails said,Shadow got up and tucked Aya in,she somehow reminded him a bit of Maria,Innocent,kind and she looks out for others,surprisingly,Shadow gave Aya a peck on the head,she smiled and curled up in the blankets,Shadow walked back to his little bed and went to sleep...
*Tick*...*Tock*...*Tick*..."AHHH!" A male voice shouted,Aya woke up in an instant and gasped "That voice.." the others once again,groaned in annoyance and sat up "What now Aya? I need beauty sleep!" Amy said,rubbing her eyes "Father!" Aya exclaimed,jumping off the bed,"Something must've happened,I need to check on father! Stay here,I'll be back in a second!" Aya said,scurrying to the door,putting her hand on the knob,she sighed "I've got a bad feeling about this.." She said to herself,and walked out,not too long after closing the door,she heard moaning and growling "Voices?",she asked herself,taking one step forward "Hello? Is anyone th-" before she could finish her sentence,blood splattered on the walls and floor,she yelped and fell back,growling was heard in front of her,two corpses,tattered and beaten,stood before her,one was tall and had mud colored hair,one eye,the other was an empty socket,a scar going across one side of his chest,bleeding,he had a mouth,but his teeth were red and dirty,the other looked repulsing,it didn't really have legs,both eyes were just white circles with tiny dots for irises,he had messy,black hair,his mouth was cut off and blood soaked through his teeth,dripping on the floor,both had bloodstained skin,making them look more red than olive or pale "No! Don't! S-stay away!" She shouted,they moved closer,Sonic opened the door "Aya! Are you-WHAT THE HECK?!" Sonic exclaimed after looking to his side,Amy and Tails looked horrified,Shadow looked a bit disgusted,as did Blaze and Silver,Sonic and Knuckles got in front of Aya to protect her,Amy and Blaze ran over to the scared little girl,"Aya,are you hurt?" Blaze asked,Aya shook her head,"This way!" A voice called from the end of the hall "I-is someone there?" Amy asked,Aya and the others ran off,Sonic and Knuckles followed,they ran through the hall,coming to a stop and a blonde boy,"Who is that?" Silver asked,"This way",The boy simply said,"Who?" Aya asked,"Stay with me" He said again,turning around,the other side of his face did not have another brown eye,instead,skin was torn off,his eye,ripped out,they all backed away "I said stay with me!" He shouted,they all ran off,but the corpses were still there,as a last resort,they ran into Aya's Room,and saw a charcoal grey hedgehog standing with a man with a suit on,with a matching black fedora,the hedgehog had no mouth,but was talking with the man,he also had greenish-blue stripes and green,snake-like eyes
"Many interesting books you have in here,young lady" The hedgehog said,turning to her,Aya backed away,"Who are you?!" Blaze demanded,"Now don't be so aggressive,I'm merely a salesman and his cohort" the man said,walking to the center of the room,and taking off his hat,revealing to be bald "Call me Ogre" he said,"I am Mephiles,Pleasure to meet you,Aya" "How do you-" "But it's quite troublesome,to know that corpses loiter around your home..." Ogre said,"Corpses? Those monsters back there?" Tails asked "Their like monsters from a story..why would monsters like that...?" Aya asked "Well,It's a curse" Mephiles added,the group all got surprised looks on their faces,"What you saw were corpses of your father's test subjects,overcome with anger,those deceased have been brought back by the power of a curse" Mephiles explained "To take revenge on your father,of course" Ogre added "What?! So..So father is in danger? I've gotta save him!" Aya exclaims "Why is that?" Mephiles said,crossing his arms,Aya was about to turn around to leave when he said that,turning around,her eyes wide "To achieve his desires,he has killed so many as part of his experiments,this is his retribution,you must have realized your father's behavior by now,and yet,you wish to save him?" Ogre said,Aya turned around,expecting the others to argue with them,but no one said a thing,she simply turned to walk to the door,opening it and running out "Aya! Wait up!" Sonic called after the young girl,then they all ran after her
"My,my.." Mephiles said,"Perhaps she cannot yet understand our sorrow.." Ogre said,Aya came to a stop in the middle of the hall,Silver walked up to her "Aya?" She looked at him and smiled "Let's go save Father" "But what about what they said? They're right, y'know.." Knuckles said,"Not helping the situation.." Silver said,Aya looked down "Look,kid,I didn't mean it.." Knuckles said,before Amy smacked him on the head,"Father was always kind to me,he's all I have left,I made a promise to mom too.."
Flashback
"So the red-eyed stranger gave Jack the power to curse others,and Jack said,'Thank you,red-eyed stranger,now I can get revenge on people' " "Mom?" "Yes,Aya?" "What is father always doing down there?" Her mother paused for a minute,before answering, "It's a very..difficult job,you'll understand when you're older,Aya.." "I want to be older soon,then!" Aya exclaimed,her mother paused for another moment,before saying "Aya,you should never hate your father" "Mom? What are you talking about? Of course I'd never hate father!" She exclaimed "Do..Do you hate father?" "No,I love father just as much as you do" Aya smiled "Phew.." "He can be a bit...Unpredictable,so lets support eachother no matter what.." "Ok!" Aya chimed "Now,back to the story.."
End of Flashback
"If Father dies,I'll be all alone,I don't wanna be alone,So I have to save him! Will you come with me,please?" Silver smiled "Count me in,Aya" "Me too!" Amy chimed in,"I guess I'll help too.." Shadow said,"I'll go too! I am the hero of Mobius,after all" Sonic said,Tails ran up next to him and the two high-fived,Blaze knelt down in front of Aya,"I'd be honored if you would except my assistance" she said all formally,Aya smiled "I accept" Blaze looked up and smiled faintly,Knuckles looked at them "Don't forget me!" he said,Amy was gone for a minute,but came out with Snowball,"Can't forget the little furry friend,Aya!" She said,handing the bunny to Aya,"Oh yeah,we can't save father without you,Snowball" "Alright,then..Lets do it to it!" Sonic said,"Aya,lead the way" Tails said,Aya nodded and started walking,the Sonic Team behind her
