Chapter 2: Over the edge...

Sonic and Tails sat together under a tree enjoying the sunlight. Tails looked over at sonic , "hey... sonic...",

"yea ?"

"you're always gonna be around, right ?"

Sonic flashed Him a grin,

" sure I will"

Tails closed his eyes ,"good...",

"don't worry Tails, I'll never leave you...",

Sonic's voice suddenly changed, it sounded dark and distorted,

"... I'll never leave you cuz I'm already dead...", Tails froze, he knew what was coming next. he didn't want to open his eyes, but he did. The sky was now a deep red, and the landscape a blackish blue. The sun looked like a black hole floating in the sky, and a the grass and plants turned to ash.

"don't look at him"

, his range of vision started to turn,

"don't look at him!",

a little more ,"DON'T look at him",

he could see a blurred shape a the far left of his vision.

"OH DEAR GOD DON'T LOOK AT HIM!", still Miles was forced to look at the corpse of his friend. Sonic body was open at many points, where blood and body fluids gushed freely. His chest was open, exposing his heart and other internal organs. His eyes where free from there sockets, letting a yellow liquid slowly drip down his face.

"you.. let ... me die... Tails"

Once again Miles awoke from the nightmare with the horrible sight burning itself into his minds eye. He was heavily sweating and shaking all over ."I can't ... take this... anymore! " , He grabbed the bottle off his was a mixture that had failed in its original purpose, but it would work perfectly right now. Miles took a deep breath, drank it's contents and hurled it out the window, where it smashed through someone's car window. Miles stumbled downstairs and sat down on his couch. He found it fitting he was going to die from something he created. The phone started to ring, he didn't bother to answer it. The answering machine kicked in , "This is Miles. I'm not going to answer , SO FUCK OFF!", as His vision started to fade he wondered who could be calling at such an inappropriate time." Miles this is Filex again...", Miles groaned, as he was dieing he was hearing the last person he wanted to hear." look Miles, I know you don't what to hear this, but I'll tell you anyway. We found out that Egg-man wasn't responsible for Sonic's death...", Miles stood up, or would have had he not lost control of his legs." ... we haven't found the guy or found out why, but we're working on it......... .... ...... ... ...", he couldn't understand the rest because his hearing had gone out. A dull ringing filled his ears as his breath slowed to a stand still. His blood stopped circulating, and life drained from his body.

Miles opened his eyes. Darkness . He tried to move, but discovered he was in a very confined space. He slammed his fist agenst one of the surfaces, surprisingly it gave way. Through the opening poured soft, wet earth. Miles began to dig desperately. After a little while he burst into open space. He stood and let the heavy rain wash the mud and dirt from his fur.

"... what the hell happened ? and where am I now ?", he noticed that he was surrounded by large clusters of stone carvings, where they statues ? no. He examined the one closest to him. There was an engraving on it, he looked closer,

MILES "TAILS" PROWER

He was looking at his own grave stone.
