14 Months Chapter 4:

Turning up right outside Sonic's House, Eggman wasn't himself after seeing Tails and the others. It was cold outside and it was now dark with the stars shining bright and a full moon with the light also bright from the sky. He couldn't believe that Tails or the others didn't come searching for Sonic at all and instead they kept on living their lives. He wondered how best friends like the others stick out for people like Sonic and does something about it. He also wondered how Sonic was going to cope with it once Eggman explains it to him. Whatever the expression it was going to be, he wasn't going to like it. Eggman then turned up outside Sonic's House. Taking a deep breath, Eggman went over to the door and helped himself in. Sonic heard the door open as Eggman walked inside.

"Eggman you could've knocked." Sonic told him.

"I didn't want to knock thank you!" Eggman said as he wasn't a polite person these days.

"Anyway how did it go?" Sonic asked him. He was desperate for answers to find out what happened during the conversation with the others.

"Not good." Eggman answered. Sonic looked up to him as he heard Eggman's answer. "They said they went to your house, found out that you weren't home and left without searching."

"Oh… I see." Sonic slowly said.

Sonic didn't know what to say. The fact that his friends never paid any attention to what happened and forgotten about him. This made Sonic feel heartbroken and confused. Eggman had no reaction to this either and still wanted to help Sonic in every possible way. Sonic may be his number one nemesis but Eggman didn't want him to be all alone for the rest of his life. He had to help out because of their deal they made just before Eggman unlocked the cell which was still getting annoying for him.

"Do you still want me to help you out in any way?" Eggman asked him.

Hearing Eggman's advice and help, Sonic did feel a lot of encouragement and a lot more reliable ever since he came home. How would he reject this? Either way it felt very nice for Sonic.

"Might as well. I really don't like what's happening with Tails and the others." Sonic told Eggman.

"Neither do I. I'm starting to feel sorry for you." Eggman said when he didn't know he spilled the out from his mouth. Sonic was shocked to hear that from someone that hated him dearly ever since they first met.

"Since when do you feel sorry for me?" Sonic asked him. Now he was desperate to hear an answer from Eggman. It still wasn't helping him forget about everything that has happened, not even close.

"Since now, and don't bother asking questions about it." Eggman told him with a bit of anger coming out of him.

"Whatever you say." Sonic said and rolled his eyes after that.

Eggman then noticed the time and it was very late. It showed 9:30 on the clock. How did Eggman lose track of time so easily? Maybe he doesn't wear a watch around that often. Eggman had to get back to his base as it was already late in the night and he hated going to bed at this time of the night.

"I'm going to go back to my base. I'll come by in the morning. Don't worry Sonic, everything will go back to normal." Eggman told Sonic who didn't say a word after that.

Instead of hearing a reply, Eggman then left Sonic's House. Sonic watched Eggman leave and hoped that Eggman was right, for once. Sonic really didn't want this to happen. He now wished that he wasn't kidnapped by Eggman and was held prisoner for 14 months. When he was first kidnapped by Eggman it wasn't good, as usual, but he still had hope that Eggman would give the others the message after being taken in. A few months later, nothing happened.

Every day was just the same boring day waiting for a sign of a miracle to happen for him but nothing happened. Why did this have to happen? Sonic was now struggling to keep himself from crying but instead he had a couple drops of tears from each eye escaping from them. He was glad to see Eggman not here watching that happen for who knows what kind of words would come out from him. Sonic also missed some of the best holidays. Christmas, Easter, many parades held at Station Square, birthdays and especially his. All Sonic got from Eggman for his birthday was a boring old Science book. He didn't enjoy it as he hated reading but he did enjoy some of the pictures for various pages. For Christmas he got nothing.

Sonic then decided to go to bed as he was too depressed about all of this. It was now his first night sleeping at home in his cosy bed when at Eggman's Base he laid on the cold, hard floor with nothing inside to use. The temperature was excruciating where he felt the winter kind of season with the tough wind and rain coming down and some headed inside the window. Sonic did get a tiny bit of sunshine when it was clear, sunny and warm outside when the sun shined in feeling the warming sensation but that was it. He didn't sleep much at all as he couldn't take the temperature any longer. The night may be fast for others as they got a good night sleep but for Sonic it seemed like eternity. Sonic only rested his eyes. Sonic did face the very cold climate when he was at Holoska but this was different. Now that Sonic is free he can only hope that when he sees Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Silver and Blaze's faces, they were a sign of happiness but he also wanted to hear the truth of what they did instead of calling a search party. He then closed his eyes and leaves the problems for the night and drifted off to sleep as he can now get the rest he deserved and waited for so long.
