Hello Everyone, here's the second chapter of the Awakening story! Hope you all enjoy!
Awakening Pt. 2
Tails' body dropped limply to the floor. Sonic was immediately at his side.
"Tails?" He asked, his voice slowly growing louder, "Tails!?"
The fox was utterly silent, Sonic quickly checked his pulse and breathing, everything was normal. In fact, if he didn't know better, he would have thought he was asleep. Gathering the young fox in his arms he quickly sped off to someone who might have a better idea of what was going on.

Everything was dark, he couldn't see a thing. He waved his hand in front of his face. Nothing. Tails let out a sigh, nothing seemed to be working. He could feel something almost stuck to him, like he was covered in a powder of some sorts. His fur was also rumpled, not that he could see it anyways. Finally giving up, he resounded to sitting down and waiting. After all, he couldn't think of anything better to do.

Amy was startled awake by frantic knocking at her door.
"Who could be here at this time of night?" She thought.
"Amy! Open up!" She heard Sonic yell from outside.
Reluctantly, she got up and walked downstairs to the front door. She opened to Sonic standing on her front porch with Tails in his arms, he was completely limp.
"What happened?!" She questioned, "Is he alright?"
"I don't know! We went back to the ruins because Tails said he heard something talking to him last time we were there, he touched this weird stone then he freaked out and started screaming before passing out! I was wondering if you knew anything about it?"
"I don't know anything about magic stones of sort, but I think I can help a little. Bring him in here."
Sonic walked inside and laid Tails on the couch in the living room. Amy grabbed a blanket and put it over top of him. He seemingly relaxed a little bit.
"I'm going to call Knuckles, maybe he'll know something about this." Amy added.
"Alright," Sonic replied.

Geez, how long had he been sitting here, it had felt like hours. Suddenly, a flash of light blinded him for a moment, when he opened his eyes he was horrified to where he was.
"No..." Tails whispered, "Not here, anywhere but here..."
Tails was back on Westside Island.
Looking down at himself he was finally able to discover what exactly he had felt on his fur earlier. He was covered in dirt; his fur was matted with blood. Scars that had healed long ago had suddenly reopened themselves on his skin.
"I look just like..." He began to think before he stopped himself. "No, that's not possible."
However, after looking over himself again, he couldn't deny it. He had traveled back in time.
"I've got to find Sonic, hopefully he can help me somehow."
Tails began to walk off before hearing the same voice he had heard at the temple.
"Welcome home Miles." It whispered.
"WHO ARE YOU!" Tails yelled back, "WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME!"
"All will be explained in time." It replied, "I will teach you everything."
"What do you want me do to in the meantime."
"Just wait there, explore your past life."
Tails assumed that the voice was finished with him for now and he began to walk into the jungle.

Tails had been unconscious for about 4 hours now, and Sonic was beginning panic.
"Amy," Sonic began. "What if... What if he never wakes up Amy. I don't know what I would even begin to do without him..."
"Sonic, Tails is a tough kid, he'll pull through."
Sonic sat back down next to the couch, apparently thinking over what Amy had said when they heard a knock at the door."
Amy walked to the door and opened it to see Knuckles standing there.
"Come in." Amy told him.
Knuckles walked through the front door and into the living room. He saw Sonic sitting next to the couch and Tails wrapped in a blanket with his head propped up on a pillow.
"How's he doing?" Knuckles asked.
"He hasn't moved or woken up sense I called you." Amy answered.
"Alright." Knuckles spoke, "I looked in the Angel Island temples for anything on magic stones and glowing eyes. What I managed to find was pretty shocking..."

Tails had been wandering around the island of his past for about an hour when he heard the voice again.
"It is time for your first lesson." It spoke. "It is up to you how you answer it, good luck."
Tails suddenly heard the bushes behind him rustle, turning back to face the bushes. Three familiar faces appeared from the undergrowth. The three mobians that had bullied him when he was young.
"There he is!" The lead one spoke, "Get him!"
Tails turned around and ran, he didn't care where he was going. He just needed to get away. Eventually he came across a cave and he quickly ducked inside to avoid his pursuers. Panting and exhausted, he was relieved for a second when he realized he had lost them. However, his calm was shattered when he heard a familiar voice from the entrance of the cave.
"You can't hide from us Miles!"
Tails ran further into the cave, hoping to find and exit, only to find his escape was blocked by the back of the cave. Tails was scared he wanted nothing more than to disappear. As the bullies rounded the corner Tails instinctively threw his hands up in front of his face, preparing for the inevitable. However, to his surprise, the bullies looked around for a bit, before turning around and walking away. Tails was stunned. How did they not notice him? What had happened? Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, he was completely invisible.
