You've heard the beginning of this story before.
While on the Space Colony ARK, Sonic is sent into space in a capsule, rigged to explode. Eventually, it does so, and he is thought to be dead.
But according to the original story, he came back to his friends unharmed, and eventually, all was well again.
Unfortunately, this is not the same story.
All Sonic's younger sister Tara remembered that day was watching the explosion… then waiting. She waited for so long. It was weeks before she realized he wasn't returning. Since then, she's been hurt, confused, angry.
But, she always lied about how she was, even if it was just to herself. She would much rather bury her feelings deep within than deal with the painful reality.
Not too long after losing Sonic, Eggman was killed at the end of a battle when his base was blown up with him inside.
Life became almost normal for everyone, but they never forgot the hero, brother, and friend they lost.
(Hello! Thanks for reading this new fanfic! Unlike The Witch's Vow, I will publish the chapters for this story as they're completed, so if a chapter takes a while, please bear with me! I estimate the most time possible taken on a single chapter to be a few weeks. Happy reading!)
