Lonely

Chapter two: I want to

O

Roger Moontooth's POV
5 years in the future...

"Every single Ancient is born with magic blood. The powers inside our blood includes different magic like being able to see into the future, teleport, read min-"

My dad's voice seem to fade as I once more get stuck into my own mind, my own thoughts...

Future...

Didn't Amy talk about my future once...? Yeah, when we were kids.

No, wait! I gotta stop think about her... Man, ever since I met Artemis I seem to think about Amy.

She reminds so much of her...

Future...

'This one means...death.' It's like I'm watching a recap of an old TV episode... we're five years old and she is looking at her tarot cards...

Death... claws, fangs and a blue blur...

Nooo...

No.

"Dad." I ask my father, interrupting him in the lesson.

He sighs, facepalming.

"Yes... son?"

"You said The Ancients are werewolves, right?" I ask him, adjusting my sunglasses.

"Not exactly, but kind of. In the early history of the Ancients, Beowulf used his magic blood inside of him together with his werewolf powers, that let him transform on command, to defeat an evil wizard. The wizard cursed Beowulf and his race, making so that the transformation wouldn't be able to be controlled so that we only would transform by the sun. Also would our control over our own minds as werewolves be gone, we will be mere beasts if looking into the sun." He explains, pointing at a map with his staff. "However, this is not so important as the 'Adnihilos' have blocked the sun. We cannot transform, but we can get a minor transformation if we feel anger inside. This will cause our fangs, claws and fur to grow and our instincts to be active."

...interesting...

Could this possible be... what Amy was talking about?

Did she really see my future?

Blue blur... Why is Sonic a part of it? I thought he was gone, together with Amy.

What if I'm wrong...?

And death...

'But it's fuzzy and hazy...It doesn't mean you'll die.'

I don't know Amy... Death feels like it would fit right in this current situation...

Roger "Moon" Woodstock's/Moontooth's POV
"Present" time.

I no longer know who I am.

Am I Moontooth, the killer? Or maybe I am Moon, the friend?

A simple question like that... is something I can't answer.

The killing... it became addicting, killing those who deserved it.

Then I got the message... the message from the Travels family...

Karma...

She wouldn't have wanted me to continue the killing, even if it was on killers.

When I was at her funeral, I began to think.

Life... it can stop at any time, without is even realizing it.

Death is something so easy, it can come any time.

No matter if we are ready or not.

But maybe we are never ready? Maybe we are not ready for death, since we don't really know what will happen?

Or maybe life is an test, a test to get ready for death?

Maybe death is the real life, the prize for the one that goes through it all?

I'm not sure... but I know life can end quickly.

I talked with her cousin, Jack Travels from New York.

He really cared about her... Seems like they used to hang out all the time, her helping him and all.

The kid is probably seventeen now.. I hope he quit smoking.

After the funeral... I wanted to lock my feelings again... I really did.

But then I got the other message... a message from Amy.

She's getting married, and I am right in the location of her dream.

I couldn't say no... but after this my feelings will be unlocked.

But I know what to do now, and that is why I can smile without I cry.

I am happy for her, happy for Sonic.

Happy for the both of them.

She will be happy with him, not with me. She needs a hero, not another killer.

Seeing her happy makes me happy...

"If anyone believes these two shouldn't live together, ether speak now or forever-"

I wonder if she ever knew what I felt for her...

No. NO! She's happy now, smile.

Smile, because you want to. Smile, cause it calms her down making her happy.

Not that I would need to smile, her eyes only focusing on Sonic.

"I pronounce you 'husband and wife'!"

I look around, seeing everyone smile and cry at the scene in front of them.

"You may kiss the bride."

Wow... I can really see how her heart is melting as she feels his kiss.

I smile. This is what is suppose to happen. If it was my destiny to be with her, why didn't it happen?

Because it is not suppose to happen.

This is suppose to happen.

Smile, Roger. Smile. Smile Moon, smile. Smile Moontooth, smile. Come on Moontooth, smile.

I chuckle at my own joke, no matter how silly it is.

This is a happy moment for her, a happy moment for everyone.

Smile, don't cry in jealousy.

I said don't cry.

It's not in jealousy... it's in happiness.

Happiness for her, her dream coming true.

A dream that does not include me.

No... shut up heart, quiet. She is not mine for the taking, she is now married.

The bible... the bible says I can't have feelings for her.

I can't want her.

She is taken.

Smile, for the hell of it. Smile even though your heart hurts.

Smile you idiot...

That's better... smile.

I gently move away the tears from my eyes as I smile. For everyone it probably looks normal right now... like I am happy for her.

Which I am. If I wasn't, wouldn't I be heartless?

No I wouldn't... but I would be selfish.

Not mine for the taking, as she is taken.

Shut up heart...

I keep on smiling as I slowly walk over to the door, everyone still focusing on the hedgehog couple.

With my hands in my pockets I walk out, still smiling.

She is happy.

I want her to be happy.

I want to do this.

"Mister Woodstock?" A man asks me, walking over to me from his police car.

"Yeah." I answer with a nod, still smiling.

I want to do this.

"Are you the one that called?" His assistance asks, showing me his badge.

"Yes." I say with a nod, smiling.

I want to do this.

"So you are Moontooth?" They finally ask me.

My smile fades.

Soon it's gone.

"Yes..." I say, nodding.

I do want to do this.

"Please follow us to the car."

For her...

"Yes sir." I say, following the two men towards the car.

The officer's assistance takes out a pair of handcuffs, but the officer simply shakes his head.

He knows I'm not gonna run.

I want to do this.

For her.

Now that might have been a shocker, right guys? Yes, yes... I know we weren't focusing that much on the actual wedding... but come on, this is an OC story about my OC.

Oh don't worry, there will be some slight moments of "main" Sonic characters.

Just not now.

So Moon just got himself arrested...

For her.
