A/N: Disclaimer is the same as it was before. Only Trinity is mine. Some things may surprise you. This story won't be like the ones I wrote or in the process of writing. Just a heads up on it.
I can't see anything but pitch black. Last thing I remembered was seeing blurry figures and my hurt brother. Since I see nothing but black I'm guessing I have my eyes closed. But what if I wake up and Dexter is…..gone. If he's gone I'll be an official orphan. I'd have to live with foster families and be moved around. "Dexter?" I just kept my eyes closed. This nightmare I was having was really my past coming back to haunt me. Then I felt someone taking my hand and holding it tight. "I'm right here. Don't worry." He was okay! My older brother was alive. Question is though. Am I alive? I spoke didn't I? "Is she up yet?" That same voice was calling out through the smoke a while ago.
"No. She was just talking in her sleep Tails." Tails? Who's this "Tails" Dexter is speaking too. I guess it's the right time to wake up. I really want to see Dex again. "Ohh. Where am I?" My vision is blurred and all I saw were multi colored shadows. One was right next to me holding my hand. My vision came into focus and I saw Dex staring at me smiling. I just hugged him and held him close. "It's okay. You're safe."I smiled and just held him tight. I looked around seeing creatures of all types looking at me and smiling. I saw a pink hedgehog with a red headband and a pink dress. Next to her was a blue hedgehog and next to him was a red echidna. I looked closely and saw a yellow fox standing next to Dexter. He looked at me and smiled. I blushed and hid my face against Dexter's chest. His shirt was black and new. He must've gotten a new wardrobe after he was helped. He let me go and smiled at me. "Where are we?" I asked sitting up. But when I did I felt a sudden pain in my arm and sides. I winced and was about to collapse from pain when the yellow fox and Dexter caught me.
"Take it easy. You broke your arm. And your side is badly bruised." The yellow fox said. "How did that happen?" I was confused. More than ever. Where was I anyway? "It happened after you passed out. A robot was attacking us when we saved you. You got hurt during the rescue." I looked over and saw that it was the blue hedgehog speaking.
"Who are all of you?" I asked. I shuck. I had no idea who these people were. All I knew was that I woke in a bed. An unfamiliar bed. What the hell happened? "Sorry. I'm Tails. This is my best friend Sonic, my friend Amy, and he's Knuckles. That rabbit sitting over there is Cream and that's her chao Cheese." The yellow fox introduced everyone. I wasn't comfortable with eyes staring at me so I moved closer to Dexter. He was sitting on the side of the bed listening as Tails introduced the people around me. "Dexter…." I was so scared. I put my arms around Dexter's waist and held him tight. He put his protective arms around me and held me tight. "Don't be scared Trinity. We won't hurt you. You're safe." Sonic looked at me with a smile. I shuck a bit. I had no idea how to react to all of this. "How do I know you're not just here to lie to me and my brother? How do I know you don't work for Eggman?" I looked at them. I also looked at myself. I had on new cloths? A purple t-shirt took the place of my messy one. My brown and creamy fur was a mess. Nothing some brushing couldn't fix. My tail was a mess too. "Hemp. So after saving your ass you say we work for Eggman!" Knuckles had one heck of a temper. "Hey! Watch your tongue Knuckles! She's scared!" Dexter let me go and face the echidna. I wished he didn't go but I knew he just protecting me. I looked at my surroundings and saw I was in someone's house. Who's I wonder. "Where am I?" I asked without realization. They all looked at me. This was getting very uncomfortable. I hated it when people started at me.
"You're in my house." Amy smiled and I looked at her. "We brought you here since you and your brother was hurt. It's been a good week since the fight. You were unconscious for the longest but Dexter here never left your side. I hope we become good friends Trinity. I'd love it for us to hang out." She seemed very happy with me being here. I smiled and was close to tears. After all that I've been through. It wasn't just my mother's death that saddened me. There was something else. Dexter didn't even know about it. I don't want him too either. "Yeah. I'd like to hang out too Amy." I smiled and looked over at Dexter who was glaring at Knuckles. I'm not sure I like him now. That was a bit rude of him. But it was rude of me to accuse someone without hearing the full story. "I'm sorry Knuckles." Everyone looked at me as if I had six heads. "Huh?" Knuckles crocked his head and walked up to me. He looked at me and I shuck a bit. What would he do to me? "What was that?" He asked me. "I said I'm sorry Knuckles. It was wrong of me to accuse you of being part of Eggman's army. I should've waited until I heard the full story." My ears fell flat against my head and I bowed my head. "Um. I'm sorry too. Yelling at you like that. You didn't know so…..." He blushed in a cute way. I smiled and held his hand or fist.
"It's okay. I've been through worse than getting yelled at." I shrugged and smiled. "Care to explain?" Dexter said looking at me. He didn't know. I had no idea what to say to him. Best thing I could do was lie. I hated lying to him. "Uh….never mind Dex. I was talking about mom's death." Dexter raised an eyebrow and sat on the bed again. "Just go back to sleep Trinity. You look tired." He smiled and rubbed my head in a loving way. "I'm not tired, Dexter." I giggle and looked around me again. This place felt safe and welcoming. I loved the feeling.
"You should really rest Trinity. Your body needs time to heal." Tails came up to me and looked at me. I sighed and nodded. It was clear they wouldn't leave me alone till I went to sleep. "Alright." I set myself down onto the soft pillow and brought the covers up to my chest. I had my broken arm sitting next to me in a very uncomfortable place. Everyone started to file out the room. Dexter was about to go until I grabbed his hand. "Don't leave me here alone Dex." I felt safer with him around. He was nineteen and one month away from being twenty after all. "Okay." He smiled and sat near me on the bed. I nuzzled against his chest and sighed. He put his arm around me and held me tight. I knew it was safe to sleep. A few hours wouldn't hurt. But my arm was hurting like hell. I tried to move it to a spot where it wouldn't bother me as much but the movement itself stung. I flinched and stopped automatically. I sighed and just closed my eyes. The nightmare returned as it always has every time I fall asleep.
A/N: Hope this one was good. R&R if you don't mind. It took a while for me to figure out what my initial plan for the story was but I think I got it down.
