I stared at the monitor for a moment then glanced at Shadow hoping he would help. He stared at me then nodded with a sigh.
"Tails, Shadow is here! He can bring them to you, just tell me where the prepulsers are." I said as my heart pounded in my ribs, I heard Tails sighing and muttering to himself.
"I-I don't know! Thomas should know, I gave them to him to put up!" He replied as I felt my world start turning upside down.
"Thomas! Thomas! Where are you!" I turned on my heel and ran towards the house shouting for him, I turned the corner to kitchen when I collided with someone. Thomas.
"Why are you yelling? Hey!" He said as I quickly got back to my feet then grabbed his wrist dragging him to the hanger, explaining everything to him on the way. I was suddenly yanked back when he stopped.
"What the? Thomas-"
"I don't know where they are. I know Tails gave them to me to put up, but-" I nearly fainted at the spot. How could he forget!
"Tails is about to die! You can remember where you left the prepulsers!" I shrieked at him as he sheepishly shook his head, I turned away from him to run back to the hanger to hear Tails's frantic voice.
"I'm going to have to abort! I can't hang onto it any longer!" He said as I felt tears in my eyes, that plane was his baby! He loved so much and now it was about to go up in flames. I had to do something. But what? My hand brushed against my pocket when I felt my pen, I quickly yanked it out and ran to the wall as I began to scribble out in shaky handwriting
Tails looks down at the control panel and realizes that everything is in perfect order- the plane is not crashing. Everything is working perfectly, the readings were only off, not the plane. Tails and the X-Tornado are safe and are heading back to the hanger.
"Hey! Hold up! This is all wrong! The readings must have been off or altered or something…that's weird. Huh. Its okay, Alexia. I'm not crashing. I'm going to go ahead and head back home. I'll see you there!" Tails said confused then happily hung up. My entire body was quivering, within seconds my knees buckled under me as I sank to the ground. Tails was safe that was all that mattered to me at the moment. But then I realized how…weak I felt. It was like I was hit by an eighteen wheeler, I put my hands on the ground to keep myself from falling over when the world began to spin around me.
"Alexia? Alexia are you…" I could hear Shadow's voice talking to me, but everything was suddenly swallowed in darkness.
"Again! I want to do it again!" I shouted at Aeron, he laughed at me shaking his head. We both had long slender sticks, he was showing how to fight with it then help me with a sword.
"Princesses shouldn't be fighting." He chided me as I rolled my eyes and flipped my hair out of my eyes.
"Yes, well I' m no ordinary princess, Aeron! So shall we begin again?" I asked impatient to practice again as he smiled at me then nodded. I was fourteen he was fifteen, we were almost at eye level except that Aeron was an inch or two taller.
"Aren't you worried that you'll mess up your dress?" He asked as I laughed shaking my head at him
"I could care less about my appearance! I'd much rather be scarred and tanned proving I can fight than be pale skinned and have no calluses! Now may we please go again?" I pleaded as he simply laughed again sending a smile to my lips. We both went back to our fighting positions then ran full force at each other and-
"Alexia? Alexia? Hey Lexi, are you okay?"
"Alexia. Wake up! Everything's okay, I'm back."
"I think she's just being lazy and won't wake up."
I blinked at the sound of voices. What? I thought I was already awake? Aeron and I- I suddenly realized I was dreaming, that had to be a dream. I would never fight against Aeron, or at least not to practice. But why would I dream of that?
"How come when ever I find her unconscious she's always with you?" I could distinguish Sonic's voice talking then the deep throaty voice of Shadow
" Don't you dare blame me. I had nothing to do with her. She just collapsed after the fox said he was coming back." He said as I bit back a laugh, I wondered why that always happened.
"Next time I find her like that you'll pay!" I could hear Thomas talking, I knew he was just joking. He couldn't care less about me. I felt a cool gloved hand brush against my cheek then sigh.
"She's okay. But she does have a fever, that's weird though. She was fine yesterday-"
"Yeah and she was okay earlier today." Amy was there too, I forced my eyes open tired of pretending to sleep. Amy was on my right, beside her was Tails. On my left was Sonic his hand clasped around my hand and Thomas was next to him with Shadow standing behind him.
"Hey there, how are you feeling?" Sonic asked as I stared at them for a minute pulling myself together.
"…o-okay I guess. I just feel a little dizzy." I said as Sonic smiled at me.
"You gave us a scare there. Come on lets get you inside." He said kneeling beside me as he picked me up, I felt my face flush knowing Amy was probably hating me by now. Surprisingly she didn't react the way I thought she would, she walked beside him expressing how worried I had gotten her and that she picked out another outfit for me to wear with Aaron. Sonic simply carried me back to my room completely silent, Amy made it to the door way but Sonic quickly shut it leaving her out of the room. He set me down then sat beside me.
"So mind telling me what happened?" He said as I stared at the ground, could I trust him? Could I tell him what I saw? I sat there thinking it over, this was Sonic the hedgehog. Of course I could trust him, but still-
"You can tell me anything, Alexia. I won't get mad and I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to." He said as I sighed shaking my head.
"I-I…Its not that exactly…I'm afraid…I'm afraid that if I say it…then it meant that it was real. And-" I said as Sonic shook his head at me.
"Just say it. Sometimes to feel better you just need to say what's on your mind." He said as I knew he was telling the truth. So I told him. Everything. All the visions in detail, when they happened, who I saw, what I did. And he just sat there nodding his head, and watched me listening attentively and understandingly. Once all had been said I sighed feeling a huge weight being lifted from my shoulders. He was right. I did feel so much better. He smiled seeing me relaxed.
"See? I won't tell anybody but you need to promise me that you're gonna get some rest. Okay?" He said as I nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I promise…Sonic?" I said as he got up and headed for the door. He stopped and turned to me, my face flushed as I looked back at him.
"Thanks. You know, for listening to me." I said as he smiled and gave me his signature thumbs up.
"No problem, Lexi. Anything for a friend." He said then confidently strode out of the room, leaving me in awe of him. How could you get a better friend that him?
Yeah, sorry its so short. But I can't write much nowadays, so updates are taking longer. Sorry! I hope everyone had a great halloween! Thanks for all the awesome reviews! They really keep me writing when I have no inspiration. And speaking of inspiration...I have another idea for another story! I know. I know I need to stop when I have eight others to work on but I want to give you guys a little teaser and tell me what you think...
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
Over and over again it was the same noise. It drove the guards to the point of flinging the cell door open to yell at the cause of it. Sky blue eyes looked up at the two guards, she was scared, afraid, innocent and kind all in one moment. Or at least appeared to be. The sixteen year old grey colored mobian stared at the fox and lynx silently earning their pity.
"Quiet down! Before I decide to use the end of this gun for something other than guarding." The caramel colored fox snapped as the sixteen year old nodded, satisfied the two guards left heading back to their posts.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap
"I thought I said stop it!" The fox snarled as he looked back in the cell to find it empty. She had escaped and this time she was never going back.
Yeah I haven't decided yet, but please tell me what you think. It was inspired off the the show called 'The Pretender' I just love that show! Anyway thanks and ~God Bless!~
