Tail
I wrote this chapter right after the first one, so don't expect much
author's feedback on it. n.n;;
-------------------------[ Chapter One: Sssscared Sstiff...
Ushally the doctor was the last thing you had to be scared of at a hospital. Then again, this mobian didn't look like your typical doctor.
She was a lizard of some kind with tough dark teal scales covering most of her body. There was softer, lighter scales covering her muzzle and coming down the front of her neck. Luckily Sonic couldn't see any further because of a simple black shirt and jean shorts she wore under her white doctor's coat. What scared Sonic were all the extras this sleek lizard had. Long fins that looked like semi-clear wings along her shoulderblades peeking out from under her coat. They were also on each forearm with shorter, trimmed back ones on her back legs. From the underside of her coat there was a long tail with a mermaid-like fin at the end that swayed around.
He had too look away from her for a moment, and the closest thing to him in the waiting room was Amy and Emerl. They sat on either side of him. Amy had her hands laced together into fists, resting between her knees a little nervious.
" Mr. Hedgehog? "
Sonic looked up to see this strange lizard woman standing right in front of him. She was holding a clipboard up to her chest, looking over it with her sharp clawed hands. One of them ripped the paper, which made him whince. " You may go ssssee Milessss now. " Disgusting, her long forked tounge snaked out of her mouth. " Jussst follow me... "
Finally, they were waiting for at least an hour! Sonic got up first. " Erm... thank you, Doctor? "
" Nesssssssie... Just Nessssssie. "

Tails was sleeping when the four entered the room, resting pretty peaceful in the hospital bed. He was given a simple hospital gard since his gloves and shoes were removed while they checked for extra wounds. They were completely ripped at some point during the accident, so he would have to get completely new shoes.
Nessie came into the room first, already speaking of Tails' situation. " According to the witnessesss, the child sssuddenly ran in front of a moving pickup truck. He never ssssaw it coming. "
Amy looked up at the much taller woman nerviously. " Is... he going to be alright? "
Nessie moved over to the bed, getting on one side while the two and a half furries went on the other. Her paw moved over a pretty big bandage covering the right side of his head, completely taking in the ear and part of the eye. " Besssidesss a few sscrapess and cutsss, there are only two seriousss woundsss. "
Sonic looked down at Tails, wondering what could've possed him to run out into the street. He ushally never bothered to go near traffic because the loud noise hurt his sensitive ears. " What are they? "
" A concusshion for starters. Hisss earsss will be ringing for a couple of daysss, but we won't know the exstent of the injury until he wakes up. It sshould be an hour after ssssurgery. "
Sonic suddenly looked up at Nessie. " Surgery? " He litterally leaned over the bed so he could look at Nessie. He would've fell right on Tails if Emerl didn't hold him. " What kind of surgery? It's nothing serious, right? "
" Mr. Hedgehog... I think thisss classsifiessss as serioussss... " Nessie moved the blanket slowly off of Tails, just enough to show the area around his waist.
Tails had one of his tails on either side of him. The tail on the right looked completely normal except the midsection was wrapped in a tight bandage that was coated in a little blood. It was the other one that Nessie was probally refering to.
The tail was stripped of most of it's fur halfway down, covered in cuts and scratches wherever the actual skin showned up. About three inches from his body his tail was bent at a strange angle only to occur again about halfway down. That was was completely limp and didn't wag around slowly like the other.
" Thissss tail prevented hissss death. I imagine he raissssed it to sssoften the impact at the lassst moment. " Nessie moved her paw down over his tail, running her clawed fingers along the skin. " We tried our besssst with thisss tail, but there issss nothing more we can do. "
Sonic didn't take his eyes off that twisted tail. " What do you think we should do? "
" I do not think anything, Mr. Hedgehog. I know what we musssst do to sssave his life. Though he issss ssstable now, he isss at risssk to losssing blood through injuriesss on that tail, or devveeeloping a blood clot that could end up in his lungssss. "
Amy looked over to Sonic, feeling completely helpless to the situation. She did her best though, offering him a pat on his back. When her fingers reached around, she quickly drew back. His spikes... they were as sharp as razors. They only got that way when he's angry... or scared. " Sonic? " She said meekly while inspecting the light cut she received from touching his quills.
Sonic thought hard about the situation. Maybe the tail would heal if they gave it some more time. If not, then Tails might...
" Emerl... " Sonic looked over his shoulder at the robot. " What should I do? "
The robot lifted his head from the ground, looking at Sonic with dead eyes. " You're Tails' guardian, you should do what's best for him. " At least that was what Sonic told him he was to Tails. A guardian, almost a parent.
" Fine... " A bit solemn, Sonic looked back to Nessie. " Okay Doctor, what are his options? "

About Nessie: Nessie was planned to be an established doctor for my whole Fan Fic series. The kind of Mobian she is will be revealed later on in the fic, and I plan on using her in future fics. I don't really have a picture of her right now, but I described her pretty well. :)
