Brother

"All right, everyone on their knees on the double! You are accused of hiding a mutant, which is punishable by death! Now…. Tell us where your mutant friend now or you can die, your choice.

"I will never tell you. My wife or me.

"Then you will die. Hold them men. Ready….. Aim…FIRE!"

"NO!" Miles could no longer hold back the tears. He just sat there and cried. He mourned for his mom and dad, he thought that there death was his fault. He wished that he no longer had to live life alone. That's when everything started going dim…

…..

Miles awoke to someone coughing. The coughing startled the young kit. He opened his eyes to see he was in a small room, with monitors on his left, and a couch and window on his right. He looked down at the couch and saw a sleeping blue hedgehog.

Miles recognized the person, but he couldn't put a name on him. He tried to shift in a comfortable position, but found that he it was painful to move at all, and that he was strapped down to the bed. As he noticed this, Miles thought that he was an experiment and all sorts of horrible things like that. He tried to pull harder on the strings, but it was still very painful. That's when he noticed that his right arm and left leg, his head and his chest were in a solid cast.

"Uh, what's going on in here?" someone spoke up.

Miles turned to see who was speaking. He saw the blue hedgehog rise to his feet with a confused look on his face.

"Who are you, and where am I, and why am I strapped down on this bed?!" miles asked in a scared voice.

"Relax little guy, I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to help." The hedgehog said. "The reason you're here is because.. ..." the hedgehog did not want to tell him what had happened, because the fox already had too much in his life already. "Because you fell from a building." He lied. "The reason you're strapped down is because you had a seizure, and I am Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog."

Miles thought he would faint again. Did he just here him right? Did this Sonic guy really help him? Did someone really care about him?

Sonic came over and undid the straps. As he was doing this, he asked miles a few questions.

"So, what's your name?" Sonic asked.

"Miles, Miles Prower, um…"

"Sonic. That's your name? O.k. first I need to know if you still have your parents, then if you don't then I guess you can live with me."

"I ….." a tear slipped down miles face. "I don't have any parents." He didn't want to tell Sonic about his past on how his parents were shot right before him, and how everyone made fun of him.

"O.k. then I guess you can stay with me for a while, but on ONE condition, we've got to change that name of yours. Every time I think about it, I get a headache of geekness.

The fox laughed at that comment.

"So," the hedgehog continued. "I was thinking something to do with your awesome tails. You know what; I think I just came up with a grate name for you. How about Tails.

The fox smiled with glee. Never had anyone treated him with such kindness before.

"You really think my tails are awesome?" Tails asked.

"Absolutely, that's what makes you, you." Sonic said.

"By the way, I need to go get the doc, and see if we can get you out of this place, and into some light."

As sonic was gone, Tails had time to think things over. "O.k. I started out with nothing and now I have a friend and a brother and a place to stay.

….

Sonic came back with a wheelchair, and a nurse. They put tails in the wheelchair after they un-hooked everything that was on him, and then pushed him outside.

As they were walking, Tails finally had the courage to ask Sonic the question that was on his mind.

"Sonic, why don't people try to hurt me any more why are they being kind."

"Well, you see, a, well you're not on your island anymore. We are in Station Square. Although, I live in the forest over there. It's called mystic ruins. I have a small house there and a descent size shop there, too.

They finally arrived at Sonic's house, as the sun was setting. It was two stories tall, and had a mid-size shop. The house was red in color with a white stripe going around the middle of it. The inside was dusty and had candy wrappers all over the place. Let's just say that it looked like a bachelors house.

"Hey, Tails, you can sleep on the couch tonight so that way you don't have to climb all those stairs to you room. Oh, and if you want to watch T.V. that's ok with me, just as long as you keep it down." Sonic said as he left up stairs to his room.

"Thank-you Sonic, but I think I'll just go on sleeping." Tails said as he very painfully moved to get into a comfortable position.

Tails still thinking about what had happened, thought that he would sleep well that night. But it was the very opposite. He kept on thinking about his dead parents and all the people that were cruel to him, then he thought about sonic and the kindness that he gave him.

Soon he drifted off to a deep and troubling sleep.

…

Sonic awoke suddenly to crying and screaming coming from the living room.

"What the hell is that?" he said trying to figure it out. Then he remembered Tails was down there. He got out of bed and slowly walked out to the living room only to see Tails sitting with his legs up to his chin, arms around his legs at the far end of the couch.

Realizing what was happening, sonic was going to wake Tails up, but then decided not to because tails was having a dream about his parents.

"Mom, Dad! Please let them go! I'll take their place please don't hurt them. It's me you want anyhow. Please put that pistol down I'll do anything"

As if Sonic were there, he imagined the two shots that came from the guns and Tails parents falling to the floor. He let a tear drop to the floor just imagining the hurt Tails must be going through.

Just then Tails slowly quieted down and slowly started waking up.

"Sonic, is that you?" Tails asked sleepily.

"Yes, it's me." Sonic responded. "Although, it's time for a certain fox to get back to bed or else his big brother is going to give you a chest burn," he said playfully.

"Alright" Tails said in a sad voice, and was soon going back to sleep.

Sonic walked back up the stairs that lead to his bedroom with the thought on how to help his bro. then he thought of a certain bunny that had helped him so Meany times in the past. He was going to be on his way to Miss Vanilla's house to ask what to do about his problem and since tails was about Creams age, then maybe they play together while they talked.

Sonic went to bed with a feeling of hope that he could help Tails with the death of his parents.

please review and tell me what you think.

thank-you!
