The minute the sun arose, Tails woke from his slumber, but after seeing what he saw last night, he didn't get much sleep. "Ugh, i'm tired." Tails wined as he continued to limp over to the door. Tails felt really heavy, like a giant weight was crushing him from above and dragging along side his back.
Tails opened the door and saw the old couple making the leftover breakfast. "Good morning dear, did you sleep ok?" The old lady asked. "Not really no, I had a lot of nightmares." Tails replied. "Oh, that's sad to hear, how's your leg?" The old lady asked. Tails focused to see if his leg was still fine, he knew his tails hadn't gotten any better, so he decided to see how his leg was doing.
"It seems I can walk on it better, but I can't run at all, nor can I walk really fast." Tails replied. The old couple looked at each other for a moment and began to eat their breakfast. "Why don't you sit down and eat boy?" The old lady asked as she began to get her small portion, leaving the rest for Tails.
Tails didn't say another word, he just sat down and ate his breakfast. Tails didn't eat a huge meal today, because he knew he wouldn't be able to keep it down. "Dear, why aren't you eating?" The old lady asked. "Uh, i'm not that hungry this morning." Tails replied as he looked in the living room and noticed that the birdcage was gone.
"I won't even ask where it is." Tails said to himself in anger. "I know she's playing innocent, but I know for a fact now that she is psychotic, and chances are that man is too." Tails said to himself. Soon after they finished the old couple got up from their seats and left for the door. "We're going out for a bit, behave yourself and stay inside." The old man instructed. "We don't want you getting torn to pieces by a bear outside." The old man said as they left the house.
When the old couple left, a smile crept on Tails's face. "Don't worry guys, I have no intention of going outside." Tails immediately began to search the house for any evidence about them. "There must be some sort of documentation or photo or, something around here." Tails went through their room, the living room, the kitchen and still nothing about them.
"It's like these people never existed." Tails said to himself. Suddenly Tails caught his eye on a piece of newspaper that was buried under the couch in the living room. "How did I not see that?" Tails asked as he carefully removed the paper to see if there was something on there. Tails turned to the front page and was frightened by the article. "W-what is this?"
Tails began to read the front article out loud to himself in disbelief. "An old fox couple that lived in mobius were accused of cannibalism, for eating their oldest son and attempting to eat their youngest son, a few days after their arrest, they disappeared somewhere unknown, police are looking for the suspects right now and have the young fox in custody, the older fox's name was Tanner Prower, age 10 at the time of his death, and the young fox's name is Miles Prower, age 2." Tails dropped the article in shock and fear had enveloped his body.
"This happened to me?" Tails asked himself. I barely even remember my parents, or having an older brother." Suddenly Tails began to hear a voice again. Tails, Tails, get out of here now!" "That voice." Tails said as he looked around for the voice. "Who are you?" Tails asked. "Tails, get out of here now!"
Suddenly, Tails had a painful migraine hit him and causing him to scream in pain. "Tails, get out of here now!" Tails suddenly began to have a vision of a memory, a memory which he thought he had lost long ago.
"Where am I?" Tails asked. Tails looked around and saw that he wasn't in the same house. Tails began to walk around a bit and get a feeling for where he was. "This place seems, familiar." Tails said to himself. Suddenly Tails turned around and saw two foxes right behind him and jumped. "Ah!" Tails said frightened.
The foxes just stood there in silence, they didn't seem to notice Tails. "Huh?" Tails asked. Tails waved his hand through one of the foxes and it passed right through them. "Am I a ghost to them? Tails asked as he looked at the Foxes some more.
"Come to think of it, the taller one looks a lot like me, but he only has one Tail." Tails said to himself as he looked at the younger one. "Now him on the other hand looks exactly like me if I were younger, wait." Tails realized who these kids may have been and further realized what was about to happen.
"Tanner, what are we doing down here?" The little fox asked his brother. "Tails, mom and dad wanted to make a surprise for us, so we are waiting to see what it is." Tails suddenly remembered everything. "That's right, Tanner was the one who called me Tails." Tails said as he looked at his younger self and his brother.
"Wait a minute, guys, don't go in there!" Tails tried to warn the two foxes, but he couldn't even get them to hear him. Suddenly two other foxes came in from the kitchen and looked like they were hungry. "Alright boys, your surprise is ready." The mother fox said. "Oh boy!" Young Tails said as he began to run into the kitchen.
"Wait a minute little guy, let your brother go in first." The father fox said. "Aw, but why dad?" Young Tails whined. "Yeah, why dad?" Tanner questioned. The mother and father fox looked at each other and tried to come up with a reason, meanwhile ghost Tails was still trying to get there attention, warning them not to go in there with them. "You'll die if you go in there, you'll die!" Tails screamed.
"We just think it would be better if we went one at a time." The mother fox said to them. Tanner just shrugged and went in with them. "No!" Tails screamed as they shut the door. "Little Tails went up to the door and peaked inside to see what was going on.
"So what's this surpri?" "Mom, where's your other Tail?" Tanner noticed that his mom didn't have two tails like she normally did. "Quick, grab him!" The mother fox shouted. The father fox grabbed Tanner by the neck and threw him on the table. "Ow, what are you?" The mother fox raised her butchering knife and began to cut Tanner's leg. "Agh!" Tanner screamed.
"Tanner!" The young Tails screamed as he ran in trying to help his older brother. "Tails, get out of here now!" Tanner screamed. "That voice." Ghost Tails said to himself as he watched in fear. As the mother fox raised the knife again, ghost Tails covered his eyes so he wouldn't have to see his brother suffer like that. "Tails, get out of here now!"
"Huh?" Tails woke up between the couch and the table holding the newspaper in his hand. "Did I fall asleep?" Tails asked as he looked out the window and saw that it was still early in the morning. "Looks like I still have time." Tails said as he hurried as fast as he could to the hallway.
"I need to know for certain if it's them." Tails said as he headed to the staircase that led to the door he was forbidden to go into. Tails stood in front of the door and took a deep breath. "Ok, here we go." Tails said to himself as he opened the door and revealed a horrible sight.
