BAYREL'S SONATA

Yay! I got a reveiw! Thanks to everyone for taking a second glace at this story. I'm glad I didn't keep it discontinued. Here's Chapter 6! Cameo of Nack in this chapter.

Chapter 6

Close,but yet so far

I was waiting patiently for another bowl of stew that Tails offered me. I kept thinking about how I was supposed to help Sonic. He was getting worse and I hadn't done anything. I was starting to panic.

CRASH!!!

A loud crash was heard through out the house. Tails and Bayrel rushed to the room where it came from. Both gasped in horror as they saw Sonic on the floor,gasping for breath.

"Sonic!"Tails yelled as he rushed over to his side. He was still breathing but very lightly. His eyes were closed tight.

Tails picked up Sonic by the shoulders and instructed me to grab his feet. I did so and we carried him out the door and off to the local hospital.

We got him there in about 21 minutes. The machine that moniterd his heart beat was going at about 10 beats per minute. Tails looked afraid. I was too. Not just for Sonic's sake,but for mine as well. If he was to die,I could never go back to my family. I walked out of the hospital,scared and ashamed. These creatures did so much for me,and I didn't do anything in return,not even what I was supposed to do.

I was on the verge of tears as I walked down the path. Trying to think of a way to cure an unknown disease proved difficult. I wasn't paying any attention to the road and I tripped over something. I sat up,holding my foot in pain,trying to locate what I tripped over. On the ground lay a yellow gem. I completely forgot about the pain in my foot as I marveld at it's beauty.

I reached out to touch it and I felt a small shock. At first it hurt,but then...I felt power. I picked up the gem and myself. Tails had told me about these things called the "Chaos Emeralds" This could be one of them. I took my chances and ran back to the hospital.

Bayrel ran as fast as his legs could carry him. The hospital was in view,but he ran into a purple weasel. Bayrel thought it was his fault and got up, apologizing. The weasel didn't respond,he just put a gun to his face...

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The man held a gun to my face saying,"That emerald,hand it over!" I refused. He twacked me in the face with the gun. A bit of blood flew from my mouth as I fell back. He told me to give him the emerald again. I kept a firm grip on it and told him I wouldn't let go of it. He didn't hit me this time. Had I been spared. No,he shot me this time. I screamed in pain as blood trickled down my arm.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

The weasel,known as "Nack",grabbed the child by his neck saying "Give me that damn emerald or I'll freaking kill you!"

Bayrel still refused. Nack brought the gun down on Bayrel again,.stealing the emerald before he could get back up. When Bayrel finally looked up,Nack was quite a ways off,but he was still within his sight.

"No! I need that to help someone!"Bayrel exclaimed as he chased after Nack.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Damn! The purple creature was so far away. I ran after it any way. Not until I started speeding up did I realize that I was MUCH faster than the weasel. I felt my anger well up. I know he didn't know the entire situation,but that gem was the only thing that would save Sonic. It seemed as if he was deneing a creature's life. I finally cought up with him and tackled him to the ground.

"Give me back that emerald!!"I practically yelled. The weasel just wouldn't let up. I was ferious. I unleashed my claws and started slashing at his face. After several strikes,he passed out from blood loss. I took the emerald and took off,not feeling any remorse.

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Bayrel ran at full speed back to the hospital. This was definitely a Chaos emerald. He could use it to save Sonic's life,but he would be wrong...

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

I ran to Sonic's room happy as I could be. Tails turned to me. I would've said something but,I just couldn't as I saw tears in his eyes.

"Tails...what happend to Sonic?"I asked.

"I'm sorry Bayrel...Sonic...is dead..."

R&R PLEASE!
