I'm back and we get to see Blitz and something about his past.

Chapter 10: Opening Up

Meanwhile, at Mystic Ruins, Blitz is sitting outside next to the lake, just thinking about his past and how it really affects him and the only person that didn't know it was his new friends. He has held something very deep and so personal that he kept it to himself for a short amount of time.

He looked at himself in the mirror and realize that this is the same person he was back when he was younger, being an orphan; being left behind by his family and being abandoned at an early age. He sighs heavily and then, closes his eyes for a second.

"Hey, Blitz. You okay?"

Then, he opened his eyes and turned around to see Tails walking in. He replied, "Yeah, I'm fine."

He can see it through his eyes and realize that there's something wrong with him. He sat next to him and said, "Doesn't look like it."

"How would you know?"

"That's exactly how I am whenever I come out here at night."

"You? This I can't believe."

"Yeah, it's true. I sit down here when I just need to sort of get away from it all and everything else, in between."

"Like what?"

Tails sighs and told him, "How can I say this? I spent most of my time thinking about Cosmo and after she died, I start thinking, 'how could I do this to her?'."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Cosmo told me to fire the power blaster on the Blue Typhoon to sacrifice herself to destroy the Dark Oak planet. After it got destroyed, I was completely devastated knowing that I can't see her again. The only way I can remember her by is with her seeds. Everytime I look at these, I think of Cosmo. She's been a good friend to me and I will always remember her."

"Wow. That must be rough."

"And to this day, I really fell head over heels for her and I cared about her."

"That's really sad."

"I know."

"But, it's not sadder than my story."

Tails looked at him and asked, "How sad is it?"

"Extremely sad."

Tails looked at him, concerned-like and said, "Tell me more."

Blitz sighed heavily and explains, "When I was younger, proably around three or four at that point, my mother has been suicidal since my dad has been in and out of jail at some time and it's been rough. One day, she didn't want to have anything to do with it, and she took a gun to her head and shot herself. She immediately killed herself, and I was completely disturbed by what I saw. My dad, he's been in and out of prison, throughout most of my early childhood and I didn't know him that much, so I never saw him. And I was left alone, walking in the emptyness of Hazel Island and with no one to be around and I was a complete loner. Until my guardian and his wife took me in and I got to regain my childhood and I thought that this is really my family. But, when I turned 10, my guardian wanted me to be the leader of Hazel Island and he's been pressuring me to do this for six years and I was completely fed up with it and I held a complete resentment towards him, like he doesn't understand me that much."

"Why is that?" asked Tails.

"Well, he wants me to be the leader, but I don't want to follow up on that, because I want to be a musician, artist and a writer. I'm a very creative person, but does he care? Not even the slightest. I felt as if his wife, Jillian, was the only one I can turn to, because she understands me and doesn't make me angry and everything."

"I gotta say, that's extremely sad."

"Isn't it, though?"

"How come your dad was in prison?"

"He has a reputation for being in many criminal involvements, some of which are; brutality, assault, kidnapping, threatening to kill people and everything in between."

Tails gasped in shock and said, "That's horrible."

"Completely. And I don't want to end up like him."

"So, you're a loner?"

Blitz nodded his head and lowered his head down and said, "If only I would forgive him for leaving me behind and my mother, also."

"I'm sure that the reason why they did it; it doesn't mean they didn't love you any less. They're just fed up with the way they are."

"But it doesn't make any sense."

"Why, though?"

"I don't know, but I'm still mad about them leaving me behind with nothing. It's like I can never forgive them after what they did."

"How long has this going on?"

"Roughly around eleven years."

"That's a long time. Don't you think you should move forward?"

"How, Tails? How can I forgive them after what they did to me?"

"I don't know what to tell you, but I think you have to just realize that they might be sorry also. You just have to forgive and forget about the hurt and suffering it caused you."

Blitz sighed heavily and he has been holding on to that grudge as soon as he could remember and it consumed him so bad, that it refused to be released. Then, he looked at Tails and knew that he was right. It has been going on for too long and it was time for him to let it go.

He told him, "You're right about everything you said, Tails."

Tails nodded his head and then he said, "You can't let these bad feelings take away from all the good feelings you have. You just have to forgive and forget and just have happy thoughts."

He nodded his head and said, "I don't know if it'll work, but I'll try my best."

"That's what I want to hear. Just try."

"Thanks, Tails."

"No probs."

Tails got up and then, he walked out of the river, leaving Blitz by himself and just looking up at the moon and all the stars shining at night. He sighs softly and then, got up, walked away, in hopes of finding some solid ground and he can move forward and start everything fresh and hopefully, come to an understanding that he can move forward with his life.

Now you got to know about Blitz's past childhood. Is that sad? I'll be back for more!
