Chapter 2
Is life worth the hurt?
Miles ran through the forest at a incredible speed, using his tails to speed him up.
Going faster and faster with tears streaming down his face he replayed the seen over and over.
"Why?" he thought. "Why did it have to come to this?"
He was too busy in thought that he ran straight into a raft.
"Well that's what I get for not paying attention." Miles said as he picked himself up. "hay maybe I can use this raft and get of this island and go to freedom."
And that's what he did.
…
After several days without food or water, Miles stumbled onto land after saver storms and cold winds he was finely free of being hidden. Just then two forms waked out of the forest. A fox and a dog walked over to Miles. Miles got up from his raft and walked over to them.
"Hi" Miles said to them. "I'm Miles, what's yours?" he said shyly.
"I'm Lester" the fox said "an-"
Lester cut himself off and stared at Miles for a second and started laughing at the two tailed fox.
"You said your name was miles. I think your parents should have called you two-tail" Lester said. And both boys left, laughing at the mean joke.
Miles just stood there, tears in his eyes. He had never been insulted in his life. He walked to the city. Everywhere everybody stopped and stared at him some made rude comments at him. He walked to the other side of the city found a cave, an old shovel, and started digging out rooms in the cave. He made a living room, a kitchen, a dining room, and a bedroom.
"Well I guess I will have to make the most of it." Miles said. "At least I am still here."
Just then, Miles began to yawn. "Well time to hit the hay." Miles said to no one
…
Miles woke up at the first sign of light.
"Man am I hungry." Miles thought. "I only have enough money for one meal, at the least."
Therefore, he went to the city and began looking for a restaurant. Finally, he found one.
"What do you want kid?" the manager asked impatiently
"Um… I'll have the ranch burger please" miles answered
"O.K. that will be twenty doll- "He cut himself off noticing that the fox had two tails.
"Actually make that will be forty dollars"
"But you said it was twenty dollars" miles said
"That's because it's the price regular people have to pay. Now mutants have to pay double."
Miles did not have that much money so he left. Just then, the boys that he met yesterday came over to him.
"Sup two tail" Lester said, "don't think for a moment that we are friends or anything, because we aren't, is that clear. Now I was told to come and talk to you telling you that mutants like you can't get a job, live in the city and the prices on things is doubled. So in conclusion all there is to say is welcome to your worst nightmare, two tail, welcome to hell, because you are going to wish that you were never born."
Just as he said that, he and Rob grabbed miles, and started beating him to a pulp. After they were done, Miles wondered how he did not pass out.
…
Miles staggered home and saw a T.V. in one of the windows. He stopped and watched for a little bit.
"A mysterious figure has been stopping Dr. Eggman and saving us from chaos. Well we just figured out how it is and are going to his house to interview him. Hello are you Sonic The Hedgehog?"
"Yes this is he." sonic said in confusion.
"Good, I am Susie from Mobian World News, and I just want to ask you how such a brave young soul can stand up to the evil Dr.?
"Well, I have a mutation issue. It makes it so I run (and get this) at supersonic speed, hence the name."
"Well, thank you for saving us again and again Sonic The Hedgehog. We will head back to the studio now, back to you Chris."
"Tank you Susie now we….."
After hearing that, it gave miles hope. As he was walking home, he found a pistil and picked it up. He found it was still loaded. As he walked home, he thought about what he saw on the T.V.
"Well some people have it luck. Look at that sonic guy, he looks like he doesn't have any mutation problem at all. And me, well, I just have something that's noticeable, a second tail.
As he got inside, he sat on the ground and looked at the pistil in his hand.
"Well maybe i could aim this thing at my head and pull the trigger, and then I can be with my mom and dad again"
He slowly picked up the gun and put it to his head.
"Now all I need to do is pull the trigger, but why is it so hard to do so?"
Just then he heard a bang and the lights slowly go out.
