Hello everyone! I just want to say, thank you on all the support for this story so far, you guys are awesome! Anyways, let's get started!

Scars Pt. 2

Sonic was alerted by a knock at the door. Opening the door, he found Amy to be waiting.

"Hey Sonic, is Tails here?" She asked.

"Kind of, come in." Sonic replied.

Amy walked in and Sonic shut the door behind her, "So, Tails is here, but I don't know if he wants visitors right now."

"What makes you think that?"

"He's on the roof."

"What?" Amy asked, confused.

"Sometimes he goes to the roof to relax and think, if you can get him to talk, I don't think he'll mind."

"Alright, I'll give it a shot."

Sonic walked upstairs, with Amy close behind and into Tails' room, which was perfectly clean as usual, the window to his room was wide open.

"He should just be out there, good luck."

Sonic then left back downstairs while Amy continued out the window. Sure enough, she could see Tails laying on the roof to her left, looking up at the stars.

"Hey Tails."

Tails looked up from his spot over at Amy.

"Amy, what are you doing here?"

Amy walked over to where Tails was laying and sat down.

"Just coming to talk to you."

"Wait," Tails began. "Before you say anything, I'm sorry for last night. You shouldn't have had to see me like that."

"Tails, it's alright, it wasn't your fault. In fact, it's part of the reason I'm here."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it made me realize I don't really know a ton about you, I mean, about what your life was like before we met. Like what were your parents like? How did you learn a so much about machines?"

Amy was interrupted by a sniffle next to her, looking over, she saw Tails had small tears built up in his eyes.

"Tails, I'm sorry, if you don't want to talk about it then-"

"No," Tails softly replied. "It's ok, you didn't know, and, I always want to talk about it, I think it helps."

Tails sighed before continuing.

"It started about..." Tails' voice faded off, "Actually, can I show you?"

"Sure?" Amy answered, somewhat confused by the nature of the question.

Tails eyes instantly had a blue glow about them, wisps of light flickered out from his fingers, he slowly extended his palm out to Amy.

"May I?"

"Go ahead, I don't mind."

Tails then allowed himself to enter Amy's mind.

Amy expected it to feel like an invasion, an outside force breaking into her mind, however, instead it felt comforting, she felt strangely safe. She could sense Tails' presence, she could hear his voice as he telepathically communicated with her.

"If I get near anything to personal, or if you want me to stop, just let me know."

"Got it."

Instantly a memory began to surface in her thoughts, grabbing on to it she allowed it to begin. She was on an island of some sort, her fur was a bright orange, despite being covered in dirt. She could feel the weight of her tails behind her.

"I never really knew my parents," She heard Tails' voice in her thoughts. "We just assumed they abandoned me or couldn't take care of me for whatever reason."

Instantly she was running, from what, she didn't know, all that she knew was that she needed to get away from whatever was chasing her.

"Everyone on the island where I grew up thought I was a-" Tails' voice continued. "A freak."

"You can't run forever you freak!" Amy heard a voice behind her, she felt the surge of self-doubt and pain at the last word.

Finding herself at a clearing, she was attacked by a large lion waiting in a bush, instantly she was pinned to the ground helpless.

"That's part of the reason I really got into building machines. They don't judge you for what you are, they don't make fun of you and point out your flaws, machines, made perfect friends."

"Got you now Prower!" The lion yelled, "Guys, I got him over here!"

Another two Mobians made themselves known from the bushes, one was a brown bear, the other a monkey.

"So," the bear began. "The freak thinks he can just steal from us and get away with it."

"I didn't steal anything!" Amy yelled, "I don't even know what you're talking about!" Amy knew this was true, Tails really hadn't stolen anything, but she assumed it wasn't going to matter.

"Now you try and lie to us?"

"I swear, I didn't take anything!"

Amy felt the wind get knocked out of her as she was kicked in the side by the bear, being simultaneously knocked across the clearing, panting and in pain on her hands and knees.

"Do you know what we do to liars?"

She felt herself getting picked up by the lion, unable to fight back. She braced herself as she was slammed into the dirt. Everything faded out for a moment as her vision swam. She felt, something running down her face, instantly a small red droplet fell off and onto the dirt below.

"Every day was like this for years, they would always find something to beat me up over..."

The beating continued, and eventually, everything went dark.

She woke up, feeling sore all over, and laying sideways in the dirt. Instantly tears started running down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"WHY!" She yelled to the sky. "WHY CAN'T I JUST BE NORMAL!"

"I can't take it anymore... She thought, I- I just can't!"

She could feel the total despair that had overcome Tails at this point, he continued to lay there for what felt like forever, when suddenly she heard footsteps behind her, Tails no longer cared what happened to him, he had already made up his mind, he couldn't take it anymore, he just wanted it all. No, he needed it all to end.

"That's, when I met him..."

"Go ahead," Tails spoke. "I don't even care anymore."

"What do you mean?" The stranger behind her spoke.

"Beat me up, I won't judge you."

"And why would I do tha-"

Amy felt the fear Tails had built up inside of him, he had finally noticed his- anomaly.

"So, you noticed, go ahead..." Tails continued, his voice quiet.

"Are you kidding me? That's awesome!"

Tails chucked sadly at the comment. "Yeah right, I'm just a freak."

The stranger continued to approach, "Kid, if you're a freak, then I'm just as much of one myself!"

Tails turned over to look at the stranger, a blue hedgehog with red and white shoes.

"I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself." He started, "My name's Sonic. What's yours?"

Tails paused before reluctantly answering. "Miles Prow- Miles, my name is Miles."

"Well Miles, you don't look that great, why don't you come with me, I'll help get you cleaned up."

Amy instinctively looked down at herself, her fur was covered in dirt and bloodstains from her most recent beating.

Tails slowly stood up.

"Alright, come on."

Before Amy could even blink, the stranger was gone, a gust of wind rushed past her as he disappeared. Suddenly, just as fast as he vanished, he reappeared again.

"Sorry, force of habit."

Tails was awestruck, "How fast was that!?"

"To be honest Miles, I don't really know, I'll take it little slower this time, so you can keep up alright?"

The memory began to fade as she heard Tails voice one last time.

"And that's how it started, I truly owe Sonic my life, he showed up when I needed someone the most and he was the first person to see my tails as cool and not something that made me a freak."

Instantly Amy was back on the roof with Tails as the soft blue began to fade from his eyes. Amy grabbed him into a hug.

"I'm so sorry Tails!"

"For what?"

"No one should have to go through that!"

"It's alright Amy, there was nothing you could have done, besides I'm better now, I have all the friends I could have ever wanted."

They remained like that for a while before they parted their separate ways. Amy, now with infinitely more respect for Tails then she ever thought possible...
