Shadic's Escape Chapter 11: The Cure Begins
Whoohoo, we got some comments! Thank you people who reviewed! ^_^ This here's a pretty short chapter, so we'll go double this time.
THE CURE BEGINS
It was now very early in the morning. Sonic, Shadow, Soko, and Rouge sat, waiting for Knuckles to come back in. Tails had found nothing more about the mysterious substance that was poisoning Shadic. He and Amy had both tried to stay awake, but had eventually fallen asleep. Tails was curled up cutely in a chair and Amy was on the couch with her head on Sonic's lap. Sonic figured that she had fallen asleep next to him on purpose and it annoyed him. But she was sleeping so peacefully that he decided there was no point in disturbing her. Finally, Knuckles returned. He carried a small wooden bowl with a thick greenish goo in it.
"Ew, what is that?" Rouge asked.
"It smells like old cabbages." Sonic complained while he plugged his nose.
"My ancestors used to make it. This stuff cures almost anything. What, were you expecting it to smell like flowers? Be glad you don't have to drink it."
"Disgusting!" Rouge said.
"So, that's the stuff that will cure Shadic?" Soko asked.
"Yep." Knuckles answered.
"How long 'til she's better?" Sonic asked.
"Dunno, could be hours, days, weeks, maybe even months."
"Months?!" Soko exclaimed.
"I'll start giving it to her now, the sooner the better." Knuckles walked upstairs, yawning once as he went. He found Shadic staring off into space. He waved his hand in front of her. She slowly moved her eyes to look at him. "Hey, Dr. Knux says you gotta take your medicine then go to bed." he helped her sit up and made her swallow a spoon-full of the antidote. It felt like it was burning her throat, making her cough and sputter. "You might as well get used to it, 'cause your gonna have to take it everyday 'til your better. No exceptions. Now get some sleep, that'll do you a lot of good, trust me." he winked. After turning off the lamp, he quietly returned downstairs. We might as well get some sleep too." he told everyone who was still awake.
"Yeah, I'm beat." Sonic agreed. He carefully go up without waking Amy. " 'Night guys, cya in the morning."
"It is morning." Shadow reminded him.
"Whatever. Hey Soko, you wanna sleep upstairs or down here?"
"I'm not tired, I'll just stay down here." Soko answered.
"Suit yourself." Sonic went up to bed, followed by Rouge, Knuckles, and Shadow. Soko stayed by the window and stared at the stars and moon. He sighed, causing the window to fog up. He rested his head against the cool, smooth glass, thinking, Do they accuse me for this? Am I really the one to blame?
