Shade-the-Hedgehog :This story was completed almost a year ago. While I was editing it I was thinking of ways to extend the story but nothing came to mind... but the chapters should be getting longer now. Last chapter was no doubt the shortist.

Well here is the next chapter of Chaos Controlled. A bit of violence appears in this chapter so once again the warning, if you don't like that leave. If your fine with that then continue on. Enjoy!

Chapter Four

Sonic and Tails arrived at Cream's door. Sonic got lost on the way so the race ended in a tie. "Speed is useful," said Tail. "But it is useless without concentration. You could learn that from Knuckles and Shadow." "Yeah yeah," said Sonic sarcastically. Sonic walked up to the door and knocked. No answer. He knocked again and said "Yo Cream! We're going to the carnival tomorrow. We want you to come with us." A sad whimper radiated from the room. "Is Tails going?" she asked in a weakened voice from the all the crying. "Yeah," replied Sonic. There was a thump within as if something crashed onto the floor. Cream opened the door. She apparently fell out of bed while getting up to answer the door judging from the blanket entangled around her body. When she opened the door Sonic and Tails jumped back. Her eyes were sore and red, such so they seamed to glow as if she was one of Eggman's creations. "I am not going anywhere if he is going too," said Cream and sticking out her finger into Tails's face. 'Why not?" questioned a confused hedgehog for Cream has never done something like this. "Because I don't have to." "Come on," said Tails cheerfully, laying a hand on her shoulder. Then she did something neither of them were prepared for or would ever expect.

Cream lashed out at Tails's arm and put three long, deep gores into his flesh. Tails instantly yelped out in pain as blood flew from his arm. As all animals do Cream had claws. They ripped through the glove she had on as she attacked. Luckily for Tails she sliced parts of his arm that did not have a nerve cord of arteries, but may have gotten a vein. Cream quickly realized what she had done and looked at her arm. It was covered in Tails's blood. Her glove was stained and the claws of her three stronger fingers dyed red. She was so sad over the days that she hadn't been tending to her normally harmless claws. She looked at Tails and began to panic. "Aah!! Tails I'm so sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please be okay! Someone HELP!!!!!!" "CREAM, GET IN YOUR ROOM!!!" yelled Sonic and then scooped up Tails to get medical attention for the injured fox.

Sonic rushed to the hospital wing of the Thorndyke manor. Chuck provided the medical attention for Tails. "I have had a deal of medical training so I'll be able to help." "Really," said Shadow. "I thought you were the butler." Chuck then fell backwards. "Um I think you should leave now. I've got work to do. You to Sonic." "No," replied Sonic. "I'm going to stay and help." "Okay. I'll clean the wounds and you can stitch them up." "Uh, I'm just going to wait outside."

Sonic sat for what felt like an eternity(which doesn't take long for it to feel that way in Sonic's case). Then Amy arrived, yet to be told of what happened. "Hey Sonic!" she shouted with glee. "What was Cream's answer? Is she going with us tomorrow?" "NO SHE'S NOT!!!" shouted Sonic. "Even if she wants to go she is not coming with us!" "Why not?" "Because she hurt Tails!" "Hurt Tails!?! I don't believe you!" "Cream slashed Tails with her claws and now he might not get to go to the carnival tomorrow, or worse, lose his arm. It's all Cream's fault!" "That doesn't sound like Cream. Besides she can't slash Tails with her claws. She always makes sure they are well trimmed." "Not lately." "Wu-wh-where is she now?" "In her room." Amy then proceeded out of the room. "But don't expect a welcome!!!" As Amy proceeded down the hall she ran into Cheese. "Ah, have you been locked out of Creams room all day?" "Hooo," said the chao. "Well I was just going to her room so let's go together!" "Chao!"

They arrived at Cream's room. When Amy saw the sight of the area around the bunny's room she put her hands over her mouth. "Oh my God." she said in a shocked voice, for there was blood all over the floor and walls were Cream's door stood. Amy knocked on the door. "Cream... open the door. I need to talk to you about Tails." Cream did not answer. She picked up a nearby lamp, pulling it out of the electrical socket and chucked it across the room and into the door with a cry of anger. Amy jumped back when she heard the crash and shattering of the lamp. Cheese gave a whimper of surprise and fear. "Go away!" screamed Cream. "Get away from me, GET AWAY!!!." "Cream what's the problem?" "Isn't it bad enough that Tails has a crush on you! Now you and Sonic want to torture me!" "What? Listen, it's not my fault if Tails likes me. And what do you mean by torture?" "Sonic hit me with the back of his fist after dropping Tails off at the hospital wing." Cream opened the door with tears poring down her face. Her left arm was still covered in the blood of the hospitalized fox. Some blood was also on her dress. "Sonic then pulled out a Chaos Emerald and used it to power up. Then he hit me five more times." Amy then noticed that Cream was also badly bruised. Her right arm and several fingers on both hands looked disfigured. "What happened to you!?!" questioned Amy. "Sonic happened," Cream answered for the second time. "No. I-I-I don't believe you. I won't listen. Now let's get you down to the hospital wing." "Sonic doesn't want me over there. He doesn't want me anywhere near Tails." "Nonsense. Sonic is the nicest, kindest, greatest person I know. Now lets go." "I thought Sonic was good too. I don't want to believe it but he is not nice anymore. He hates me now. Just like Tails will when he gets out of the hospital wing, and no apology will change that. It didn't stop Sonic. He would have killed me if Shadow hadn't come. Sonic stop hurting me and ran off as soon as Shadow came calling for him." "Stop talking about Sonic that way! Down to the hospital wing, NOW!"

"Well, Tails is going to be okay!" said Chuck. "In fact, he'll be able to go to the carnival tomorrow." "Really? That's great!" shouted Sonic. "However," said Chuck. "He must not use his arm that much tomorrow. At least don't let him lift anything that weighs more than half his own weight." "Can I see Tails?" "That depends." "Depends on what?" "If you say please and if you can see anything at all." "Okay, MAY I see Tails PLEASE." "Why surtainl-Holy!!!" Amy, Cream, and Cheese just entered the room. "What happened to Cream!" "She thinks Sonic tried to kill her," said Amy in a cool, stern voice. "Wha!?!" shouted Sonic. "She probably fell down or something," continued Amy. "No simple fall could do that!" exclaimed Chuck. "Well I didn't do it!" shouted Sonic. "I would never do such a thing. She trusts me. Right Cream?" Sonic looked right into Creams red and blackened eyes. Cream was then over come with fear. Pure and simple horror. The fear was rising by the second. The seconds which passed were like millenniums of torment and terror beyond the limits of even a child of sixes imagination. The fear continued to grow. Any normal person would have died instantly upon the emotion which now plagued the rabbits heart. Any person of strong will would have screamed by now. Cream remained quiet. She felt that if she did scream out in terror that would be enough to drive Sonic to kill her. Everyone else would rather die now and be rid of the torture which bit at the very soul of anyone unfortunate enough to fall victim to the fell emotion that was now laid upon Cream. One thing drove her on. She would never forgive herself if she didn't get the chance to say sorry to Tails. That and she would face even more torture than this if she left this world without first experiencing the feel of the young fox's lips.

"Amy's right. I-I-I feel down," said the desperate bunny. Just then there came a ring at the door bell. "I'll get it!" shouted Sonic and dashed out of the room. Cream lost her balance and fell down, landing on her already damaged face. She started to hyperventilate from the exhaustion of the experience. "What was that about?" questioned Amy. "If Sonic finds out that I admitted that he hurt me he'll try to kill me again!" cried the frightened rabbit. Cream then fell asleep. "Help me get her inside," said Chuck

"Bad news," said Chuck. "Cream's left arm is broken in three places. Seven of her fingers are broken as well. I also suspect that there is some internal bleeding, but there is a good chance that she doesn't have that problem." "So... how long will it take her to heal?" asked Amy. "Her bones will take about four to five weeks. As for her heart, that could take years, unless she could go to the carnival tomorrow. Making her happy would definitely help. However, I cannot allow her to go if she does have internal bleeding. That and her bones must considerably heal." "Sonic wouldn't let her go anyway."
