THOUGHTS OF OBSIDIAN

CHAPTER 5
Mommy
* * * * *
I thought that my hedgehog was dead. But as I drew nearer, I saw him breathing.
I ran to him and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down my face and all. My
Grandfather pulled me off and ordered for Sonic to be taken to the infermary.
Professor James and a few other scientists came in and did as they had been
told. Then my grandfather turned to me and wiped my tears away.
"Go get dressed, and we'll se how your hedgehog's doing."
"Come with me, Grandpa." I whispered, leaning into him. He wrapped his arms
around me and carried me back to my quarters; quite a feat for an old man like
him. He waited outside as I dressed. Then we went to see Sonic in the infermary.
but when we arrived, he wasn't there.
"Claudia, what happened to the black hedgehog that was supposed to be in here?"
my grandfather asked teh nurse on duty. She looked at him guiltilly.
"Professor James ordered the creature be kept away from everyone in case it went
rampant and killed someone." She answered.
"Where did James put the hedgehog?" My grandpa asked after taking a deep breath.
The nurse, sensing his anger, quickly led us to a door. I could hear something
crying behind it.
"Open the door!" I yelled angrilly, running up to it to look through the circular
window. It was pitch black inside. I slammed my fist onto the wall next to the door.
"Open it!"
"Calm down." The nurse whispered, sliding her security card through the door lock.
The door hissed open and the hedgehog inside howled as he backed away from the
onslaught of light. I went in carefully, holding back tears of my own.
"It's okay Sonic. Your mommy's here. Nothing's gonna happen to you anymore." I
speak gently, reaching a hand out to him. His bawling has quieted down to
sniffles and soft whines, but he still cowars in the shadows. "I'm here, baby.
Come to me."
"M- Mo-" A sound escapes him.
"Mommy. I'm your mommy, Sonic. Come to me." I try again. His brilliant red eyes
seer throught the shadows to look at me. He is affraid, and noone could blame
him. He sniffles again.
"Mo- Mo-om. . . Mom-my. . . Mommy?" I smile as he speaks to me. A tear slides
down my cheek as he crawls slowly towards me. As soon as he is close enough,
I embrace him in a hug that he snuggles into immedeately.
"I don't care what James said. He's to scared to harm anything."
"I'm sorry, sir. I was only doing as I was told."
"From now on, he stays with Maria or me. Nobody but the two of us can give orders
regarding the hedgehog."
"Yes, sir."
"And please find him somewhere better to sleep."
"Yes, sir."
