Chapter 4 – The Bomb

"I am going out" I yelled once I hit the bottom of the stares, the was a collective "okay" from all of my siblings.

"Can, I come?" Jackie asked

"No Jackie stay here it is going to be to dangerous for you" I said

"Ya Jackie, we are only thinking of you." Said Sonic.

"But we will be back as soon as possible" said Tails. With that she seemed to give up so she walked into the other room to be with the other members of the family. We walked out side and got to the end of the street. I had a gut feeling to look behind me and I saw Jackie trying to catch up with us.

"Look kid, you need to go home." Said Knuckles

'Nothing agonist you but we don't want you to get hurt." As said Amy. I didn't know how hard it had been raining till it happened. We herd a loud boom and we all looked at the house we had only left a few moments before. The house was on fire, I was in complete shock. I fell to my knees and Jackie ran to me. I held her in my arms.

"Jackie I am so glad you disobeyed me" I said as I cradled her in my arms. Sonic was running to the house and Knuckles was right behind him. I got the impulse to get up and walk to the house. It was raining so hard the fire had been doused all ready. We looked around, Jackie let go of my arm and walked over to where she would have been if she did what I told her to do. As he walked I herd her let out an ear splitting scream. Everyone ran to her side and there in the room where 6 burnt up bodies. I fell to the ground and started to sob, Jackie was still in shock

"It's not fair, it just is not fair!" I yelled in between sobs

"Oh when I get my hands n who ever did this I am going to beat them to a pulp!" yelled Knuckles

"This can't be happing." Said Jackie.

"I found something, but you are not going to like it" said Tails. As he walked over I saw what was left of a bomb shell. I looked at him and what he held in his hands and started to cry even harder. When it finally sunk in for Jackie she ran to Amy and cried with her. Sonic walked over to me and placed his hand on my back.

'Is is going to be okay Maria, It is going to be okay." He said. I did not care who it was I just needed some on to hold me so I thatched on to Sonic and kept on crying.

"H-how is it g-going to be o-okay?" I managed to ask

"Because you have me and Amy and Tails and Knuckles and most of all, your little sister Jackie." As soon as he said those words I felt the worst I ever have.

"W-why do I get to live, w-when most of my family has just died." I barley got out. Sonic patted my back; I could tell that he had no clued what to say. I got the feeling to be a role module and I stopped crying on a dime.

"I need to go for a walk, I will be back soon." I said as I stood up and walked out of what was left of the house.

"Do you want me to come?" asked Jackie. I shook my head.

"Stay here Jackie, Sonic and the others will take care of you. I need to do this by my self." I said and Sonic nodded. So I started to walk. I knew where I was going to go, a place in the woods that know one knew about. It was my little spot where I could relax and vent.
