I don't own Sonic and crew and hold no claim to them. But any characters
that are unknown to you are from my mind.
What of me, What am I to do

It was easier for Sonic to fall asleep then for Kathryn. She lay in her bed for a long time before sleep finely clamed her. It wasn't a rest full one. Since coming here, the dreams came often. This wasn't the same. The darkness was coming for her. For the first time, her dream self stood her ground as it enveloped her in its depths. For it had saved a life last night and she was willing to face it if it could help save others. Till the dream began.
"Mommy? Mommy why are you crying?" The little kit asked her mother.
"It's nothing sweetie. Why aren't you in bed?" her mother asked.
"I had a bad dream." The little kit crawled into her mother's lap. "It was one of those bad ones."
"Oh Kathryn, tell me what it was about." She watched as her daughter' s eyes become older and with a far away look in them.
"I was a man in my dream. The city was in ruins. It was day, but the sky was so black with smoke and smog, you couldn't tell. Everywhere I look, the people of the city are robots. Everything is left in desolation. Mommy, it was like I was really there. It was a war."
"I know baby, I know."
"Mommy I'm scared. Do you think it really was just a dream?"
"Oh Kathryn, I wish it was just a dream. I really wish it was."
Kathryn was standing in the darkness again.
"I forgot about that." She heard her dream self say.
'You never forgot, you didn't want to remember. Just like you dreamt about the attack and told no one. Instead you ran away.'
"I didn't run away. She told me to get help."
'You could have prevented the whole thing by telling. You could have saved her. It's your fault she's dead.'
She could feel herself crumbling under the harshness of the voice. It was right; she could have saved the whole village if she had told about her dream. Then she felt the darkness taking her again.
She finds herself in the king's royal court. She looks down to see she is older. She looks to her mother and in her arms is a baby.
"Mommy, what is going on?"
"We won the war with the Overlanders."
The king speaks, "My friends, today is a day to celebrate. Today we won the war and it's all thanks to Julius here."
A plump man stands up, an Overlander. He bows as the court applause him and he smiles.
"Kathryn, what's the matter?" she looks down to see her daughter cowering be hind her.
"It's the man from my dream."
Again she is left in the darkness. She's on her knees, hugging herself. She wants to run, to wake up. But there is something holding her back. Something wanting her to see.
'Again you could have stopped a the destruction.'
"But I did tell, she told the king and he didn't believe her."
'Its your fault they suffered.'
"No, I told. I told."
Kathryn was ready to give into the darkness. She let herself fold over. Waited for it to come. Everything the voice had said was true. She had let them be taken. She had let the Great War happen. It was her fault it all happened. *Oh Kathryn, don't give in.* She looked up, she couldn't see anything, but it sounded like her mother.
"Mother?"
*Oh sweetie, I wish I could help you, but this is your battle. All I can do is remind you of who you are and where you come from.*
Kathryn bolts up in bed. Her heart racing and her fur damp. She sat still as her breath was ragged in her throat and her heart hammered in her chest. She closed her eyes and listened to her surrounding. She sat there in the silence, as her breath calmed; her heart began to slow. As both heart and breathe began their normal rhythm. She was still shaken. She lifted a shaking hand to move her hair out of her face. Then she looked to her window and saw the sun was starting it's slow decent across the sky. With a deep sigh, she got out of bed, dressed and left for the power ring pool.
The evening air felt good against her fur. Fall was coming and soon the forest would show the colors of the season. She let the wind dry her fur the rest of the way. Her mind wound back over her dream. A shiver ran down her back as she recalled it all. Of all her dreams, this one was the worse. As she walked, she let the sounds of the evening forest sooth her nerves. There were still some mobians about, but none seemed to notice her walking through the little village. She liked that.
As she neared the small pool, she could her voices talking. The closer she got the louder the voices became. She realized that the voices were yelling and that the owners were Sonic and Sally. Kathryn stopped and moved to the side of the path, hiding herself in the bushes.
"I don't want to hear it Sally. I knew you were seeing him, but this?" Sonic said, pointing to her stomach.
"Sonic I."
"Save it Sal. How long? How long were you going to lead me on?" his eyes closing to slits.
"I'm a month along. I never meant to hurt you. I just didn't know how to tell you."
"You could have told me. Get out of my sight!" he turned his back to her.
Sally stood there for a moment. Her hand held out to him and the pulled back again. Some how it felt harder to leave then to stay. She sighed and slowly turned to leave. As she looked down the path, she saw Kathryn standing in the middle of it. Sally set her shoulders, held her head high and began to walk. As she passed the white hedgehog, she saw that her eyes had a slight glow to them and kept walking.
Kathryn watched the princess leave and then slowly walked up to Sonic. She quietly stood next to him. His body was ridged and quills razed. She looked into the water, as the surface changed to its night colors. They stood in the comforting silence. Neither looked at the other as time passed.
To be continued
I did it again. I managed to write 2 in a week. Her ray for me, I am the great writer.
Enough about me, I hope you liked this installment of "The White Hedgehog". Do please check out my other fics. I worked really hard on them.
