Tails belongs to SEGA...Lucy and Nina belongs to me.
A loud 'BANG' woke me from my sleep. I looked around to see Lucy standing by the door while someone or something is hitting it. I slowly got up and Lucy looked back to see me up. She then ran over and grabs my hand.
"We have to be quiet and leave, if we make too much noise they will find us." she told me quietly. I then saw a fire axe so I ran over, grabbed it and looked at her.
"Come on." I said softly running over to her, grabbed her arm and headed to the fire exit. I opened the door and looked around to see these human like creature walking around. They have purple skin, black eyes, sharp fang teeth, no nose but instead 2 small holes where the nose meant to be. I looked at Lucy who is looking around scared
"They can't see." she then whispers, looking at me. I took a deep breath as I walked down the stairs with Lucy right behind me, I had to be quiet. Lucy then grabs my glove and I look at her. I then picked her up, holding her with left arm around her, keeping her close while I let my right arm drop, still holding onto the axe, if I have to use this to protect me and Lucy, then so be it.
I made my way away from the area and I have to keep Lucy safe. I then stopped on a corner and looked around confused on where to go next. I then look at Lucy who has rest her head on my shoulder. I then started walking again; Lucy wraps her arms around me.
"Where do we go Miles?" Lucy asked.
"I have no idea; we need to find somewhere safe." I replied, we can't walk the streets with those things around, whatever those things are. I then look at Lucy who is looking around.
"Do you think there are others, like us?" Lucy asked and I looked around one more time.
"Of course, we can't be the last ones left, there have to be more people out there." I replied.
"Like your friends and family." Lucy added and I look at her.
"That's right." I said, a little hope is what we need right now.
I walked for hours and hours with Lucy in my arms. My arm was getting sore. I stopped and looked around to make sure it is safe. Once I checked, I sat Lucy down and Lucy looks around.
"Sorry Lucy, my arm is sore." I told her and Lucy nods as she grabs my hand. We than started walking again and Lucy stayed close to, we had to find someone else and somewhere safe. As we walked, we came to a clothing store.
"I need new clothes." I heard Lucy said. I look at her and nod; I also need something to wear and shoes, I've been walking around bare foot which can't be good. We walked in and I scan the area but couldn't see or hear anything.
"Be careful." I told her and Lucy nods. I slowly sit Lucy down and she walks off. I slowly made my way around, looking for something to wear.
I found daggy jeans, a red and black checked blouse, white shocks, a brown coat and white gloves. I then found some brown boots. I grabbed them and smiled as I put them on, they just fit. I then went to find Lucy to make sure she's ok. I then found her, getting wearing a pink dress, black tights, black shoes and white gloves with silver wristband.
"Miles." Lucy said, grabbing a hair brush and runs over to me. I kneel down and she smiles at me as I sat the axe down. I notice her light green hair goes pass her shoulders. "Can you help me?" Lucy asked, holding the hair brush out.
"Sure." I said, grabbing the brush and Lucy turns around. I then started brushing her hair, gently so I didn't hurt her and Lucy giggles. "What is it?" I asked.
"Nothing Miles." Lucy whispered as she hands me a pink hair tie. I smiled as I pulled her hair up into a pony tail. She then turns around and gives me a hug. "Thank you Miles, for being here." Lucy whispered and I smiled.
"Anytime Lucy." I whisper and Lucy lets me go.
"Are you going to be my big brother?" Lucy then asked and I look at her shock. "I've always wanted a big brother." she added.
"You really want to see me as a brother." I said, still surprise.
"I do, I never had any older sibling before this, plus I have no one now." Lucy replied and I smiled. I then sat my hands on her shoulders and Lucy keeps smiling at me.
"If that what you really want to do, then that's fine with me." I said and Lucy gives me a hug, giggling. Then we heard a loud bang so I got up as Lucy lets me go and I grabbed the axe.
"I'm scared." Lucy whispered.
"Stay back." I told her. I heard footsteps so I waited. I heard the footsteps getting closer to me so I turn around and pushed them into a poll.
Then I saw it was a woman and she was a normal person, a hedgehog. She has soft, amethyst fur, pink eyes that are full of fear and I wearing a blue blouse that is ripped and has a few holes, jeans, a brown belt with a gold buckle and black boots.
"I am so sorry." I said as I let them go and sat the axe down, then scanning this girl. She looked around the same age as me, if not younger.
"That's okay." the girl whispered as she calmed down, sensing we weren't going to hurt her u guess. Lucy then walks over and takes my hand.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Nina." she whispered back.
"My name is Lucy and this is my big brother Miles." Lucy introduced.
"Very nice to meet someone alive and not going to kill me." Nina admitted.
"Stick with us, we're trying to find a safe place to stay." I told her and Nina's eyes lit up with joy. "Safety in number." I added.
"That would me amazing, thank you." Nina then said and I grabbed the axe.
"We better keep going, standing here won't find anything." I told them.
"There are creatures out the front, that's why I ran in here." Nina told us and I nod.
"Come on, there has to be a back way out." I told them. We made our way to the back and slowly out and headed to the back roads. I picked up Lucy and she smiled as she snuggles into me.
"We should find a house to rest for a while." Nina said and I nod, I was getting tired of walking and my arm hurt from carrying Lucy. We then came to a house and we rested. Nina found some canned fruit and an old shoulder so we had some of the fruit but kept some for later.
"I'm tired Miles." Lucy whined.
"And I'm the one who has been doing all the walking." I replied and Lucy snuggles into me.
"So I'm tired." Lucy whispered.
"How did you two meet?" Nina asked.
"I found her in an alley; the girl was in tears." I replied. "Do you have any family?" I then asked curious.
"I'm trying to find my big brother. Last I heard from him, he was at Station Square University before this started, I'm hoping he's still there. The chances are slim but it is all I have at the moment." Nina explained.
"We can help." Lucy said.
"Anyway we can, maybe I might get my memory back." I said and Nina looks at me confused. "I woke up in a hospital bed yesterday with no memory of my past. All I do know is my name is Miles T Prower, I'm eleven years old and I have been a coma for three years but, I got that from a chart at the foot of the bed." I explained.
"I'm sorry." Nina said, shock on what she learnt. I just smiled at her.
"Don't be sorry, you have nothing to be sorry for." I told her and Nina smiled.
"How old are you Nina, I'm four." Lucy asked.
"I'm only ten." Nina said. "Making you the oldest and the only male Miles." she then said and I chuckled.
"Yeah, it does." I whispered. "Come on." I then said standing up. Then we heard a loud, high pitch scream and scratching sound, the girls panic as I looked around confused in what it was.
Then a creature came smashing through the window, causing the girls to scream. It was a tall, mutated human like creature, all skin and bone. The eyes are closed, joints in the arms and legs are twisted, it's skin as white as snow and it has long, string hair is jet black. It screamed again as it jumped on me, knocking me on my back and I had its hand in mine, holding it back as it tries to bit me, it's teeth was yellow and some are broken, chipped or just missing
"Miles." I head Lucy say from behind. I look back to see her with a wrench. I kicked the creature off me, grabbed it and as it came I started hitting I in the head. I the slam the wrench into its head and it dropped to the ground with blood pouring out. I got up and ran to the girls, pulling them into my arms and stared at the dead creature. What was that thing? I then looked at Lucy and Nina.
"Are you okay?" I asked them softly. They nod and I sighed with relief. We the grabbed what we needed and I grabbed the axe. After that, I now know for sure I will be needing this. I look at the girls, they have fear in their eyes and I sighed. "Let's go, we have to move." I said and they nod so we head out head to find Station Square University before sunset. It was midday, the sun was high but there was a cool breeze.
"Are you okay Miles?" Nina asked and I look at her.
"I believe so." I said, maybe I was in a little shock on what just happened.
"Miles." Lucy whispered and I picked her up, holding her in my left arm since Nina is on my right. I then wrapped my right arm around Nina's waist and pulled her close. We walked for hours and hours, trying to find Station Square University and still no luck.
After spending most of the day searching, we found it, Station Square University but it didn't look good. We walked around and all we could see was the building falling apart. Nina tried to hold back tears but she couldn't. We went to her brother's room to find it empty. I did find a picture of Nina and her brother, he has pale green fur, gold eyes and in this picture, he's wearing a suit.
"He's gone. His bags are missing and some of his clothes." Nina said and I hand her the picture.
"Maybe he's looking for you Nina." Lucy said and I look at her, then smile.
"She's right, where did you come from?" I asked and Nina looks at me.
"Westopolis." Nina whispers. "That's days away. I only go here because I had help from a… a friend but he was killed." Nina explained and I took a deep breath.
"Come on, we need to find anything we can use to get us there: water, food or any other supplies." I told them and they nod. "We will find your brother Nina, I promise." I told Nina.
"Thank you Miles." Nina said, giving me a hug. "How are you so brave?" she then asked me and I sigh.
"I don't know, but I need to keep you and Lucy safe, uses are my family now." I told them and they smile. We then looked around and found food, water, two new bags for me and Lucy, blankets, torches, batteries and a lighter for a fire. Once our bags we packed, we had something to eat we head out to find a place for the night.
We haven't seen or heard anymore creatures, but I can't get that thing I killed out of my head. My first kill. We came to an offices building and took the stairs to the 17th flood. We walked around and all I could see were desks, computers and chairs all around. I scan the area and saw nothing so we went to a room, a storage room with paper, printer ink and a few other things. I moved a shelf in front of the door so we don't get attacked while we sleep.
"Come on Lucy." I heard Nina said so I turn around to see Nina taking Lucy's bag off and sit it on a shelf with hers. I took my bag off and sat it on the shelf too. I groan as I sit down, back leaning against the wall with the axe on the lap. Lucy crawls over and lies on my left side, snuggling into me as Nina sits on my right. I wrap my arms around the pair and they fell asleep. I just stared at the door; I couldn't get to sleep yet. After staring at the door, hoping something could come back to me. I gave up and tried to get some sleep. I'm going to need my strength.
