Well hello there! Yes, it's me back again. I must say I was pleasantly surprised that two people wanted an OC in this story.
It's still open if anyone would like to submit an OC. Remember, only one person may get it, and efen then, I may ask them if the would like to have their OC in the sequel instead because of either of our ability to get on the internet or some unexpected events.
Please, if you don't get the part in my story or I ask you to wait for the sequel instead of having a guest OC in this story, don't get upset or angry at me.
Anyways...please enjoy thsi chapter!
Sapphire and I were left in stunned silence. We stared at each other for a moment, shocked. Suddenly snapping back into reality, I whipped out my cellphone, quickly dialing my mothers work phone.
"Hello," Her voice on the other side of the phone said cheerfully. "this is Lizzy's Dress Shop, how may I-" I cut her off.
"Mum!" I shouted into the phone, my calm slipping away quickly. Sapphire was in a similar state, pacing back and forth while keeping her eyes locked on me.
"Whoa, whoa, what is it?" She asked, amused. We often yelled into the phone when excited, so she didn't expect anything out of the ordinary.
"Demi's been kidnapped!" This statement sent my mum off on a few minutes of shocked stuttering. I took my head away from the phone, getting Sapphire's attention away from the conversation and onto me.
"Call Peter." I said. Sapphire nodded, taking her phone out quickly. I saw her dial the number, and heard a shout of dismay as Sapphire told him the bad news.
"Yeah, Reese has Mum on the line right now." She answered. I turned back to my phone, sensing that Mum was coming to the end of her shock attack.
"Sapphire has Peter on the phone right now." I told her before she could ask. There was a brief shuffle on the other side, then Mum came back on.
"Okay, I'm on my way right now. Stay right there, okay?" She ordered more than asked, voice completely panicked.
"Mum, you may not want to call the police." I said, motioning for Sapphire to tell Peter the same thing. She nodded, knowing exactly what I wanted to do.
"What do you mean, not call the police?" She asked. I cut her off before she could go on an angry and panicked rant.
"You might want to talk to us before getting the police involved." I came up with something quickly, surveying our destroyed house. It was lucky we lived so far from town, otherwise the police would already be here.
"...Alright." She gave in. "I'm on my way, okay? Stay right there!"
"Yes, Mum." I answered, then waited for a moment. "But when you get here, you have some serious explaining to do." After this, I hung up.
"Peter's on his way, and he won't call the police until he gets here, either." Sapphire called to me, slipping her phone into her pocket. I nodded.
"Mum won't call either." I replied distractedly. A worried silence came over us as we waited for the adults to get here.
"So, I heard the last thing you said to Mum." Sapphire said eventually, making conversation.
"I know, right? That's something a teenager rarely has the change to say to their parent." I said, trying to joke. We both chuckled, able to see the few funny aspects about a serious situation.
"You heard what he said about Mum, right?" I asked her, suddenly completely interested in this tidbit of information. "How she's originally from Mobius?"
"Yeah." Sapphire nodded. "And how we were supposedly born there?" She added another bit of information to the conversation.
I nodded, both of us lapsing into silence as we thought about the possibility. After a few moments of thought, I came up with something to break the now tense silence.
"...Well, that explains the hair."
The statement was perfect, and Sapphire began laughing heartily. I smiled as she laughed, the tension broken.
"And the weird connection with the video games." She gasped out through laughter. I laughed as well, both of us happy over a trivial thing. We continued to giggle until our mum pulled up in her car.
She stepped out of the car, gasping at the dusty ruins of our house. We got up and walked to her slowly, allowing her a moment to get over our destroyed house.
"Mum." We finally called as Peter pulled up in his car a few minutes later. He stepped out of the car, also shocked at the state of our house.
Mum snapped out of her daze, suddenly checking over both of us for injuries while asking us questions about our health. Sapphire and I answered as best as we could while practically being airport checked.
She was finally satisfied with our lack of injuries, then stepped back to look menacingly at me. Peter stepped up beside her, wondering what I could've done to make her mad at a time like this.
"Care to explain why you spoke to me like that on the phone, then hung up on me?" She said in a tone that would usually make my sister and I cower in fear. Today, however, she was the one that needed to explain.
"Care to explain why Eggman kidnapped Demi, claiming that she was half-human and that you moved from Mobius to here eight years ago?" I shot back, Sapphire standing beside me with her arms crossed as well.
Mum's eyes went wide for a moment, staring at us in complete shock. 'Well, there goes the option that we were delusional.' I thought, now getting worried. 'I'm not quite sure if I want to be right or insane.'
We waited for a while as she floundered, then suddenly her face turned incredulous.
"I think you two are a little shocked from your sister being kidnapped." She said gently. Our mouths dropped open in shock. "Do you two need to sit down?"
"No, we do not need to sit down!" Sapphire exploded before I did, surprising everyone except me. I knew all that calm had to run out eventually.
"What we need is for you to tell us the truth! Eggman said he knew about you, and don't try to pull the 'insane' thing on us! We both saw the same thing, which was our little sister being taken away by a video game character!"
Sapphire was absolutely livid by the time she finished. Mum and Peter were speechless at her little outburst, eyes wide and shocked.
There was a few moments of tense silence, Sapphire and I staring down mum as Peter stood there, completely confused. Finally, mum's shoulders slumped in defeat.
"Fine. I should've told you two this a long time ago." She sighed, then suddenly stiffened up.
"But first, we need to follow the doctor and find the portal he used to get into this world!" As this was said, mum walked back over to her car and began to dump anything non-essential out. After doing so, she got into the front seat and started up the car.
"Well, come on! We don't have all day until that portal closes!" She called to us, revving the engine for affect. Sapphire instantly started towards the car, buckling herself in the front passenger seat. I pulled Peter, who was helplessly lost, into the backseat of the car and closed the door behind us.
Mum took off in the direction Eggman had headed, practically thirty miles above the speed limit. Luckily, no police and very little other cars were on the road, so we weren't delayed in our search.
Mum told Sapphire to give her directions to Cherry Park, a secluded place that only our family knew of. From then on, we were unable to talk over the roar of the engine and the shouts of Sapphire's directions.
As we got to Cherry park, mum didn't slow the car. Instead, she barreled through the trees, tearing up the outside of the car and sending all her passengers bouncing around like ping-pong balls.
"Mum!" I shouted. "Slow down!"
"If we slow down any, we may miss the portal!" She shouted back.
As the car started to show some major signs of the beating it was taking, I saw a glowing blue light. My eyes widened, but I kept my jaw firmly in place, lest I bite my tongue off.
As we got closer, I saw that it was a big, swirling mass of blue just floating in the middle of the air above a clearing. We headed into the clearing, and Mum slammed on the gas once she saw the portal beginning to shrink.
"Everyone brace yourselves! The portal won't allow cars to go through, so it'll disappear and we'll all go flying!" Mum shouted at us over the roar of the overworked engine.
She sent the car at it's highest speed as the portal shrunk to about the size of a house. The car suddenly jumped, flying through the portal just as it closed behind us.
My vision went white, the light searing through my eyelids. Despite the ridiculous light, I noticed when the solid seat beneath me seemed to disintegrate. I panicked as I felt myself fall through the air, alone. The light over took my senses, and I finally passed out.
Just to recap: hope you enjoyed the chapter, OC submissions are still open, and reviews are lovely!
