Chapter Seven: Complete Despair

Elle lay there unmoving, Blake got up and was going to attack but then he saw her.

" Elle?" he questioned.

When he got no reply, he dropped his sword and ran over to her.

Genesis POV

He sat down beside her and placed her head in his lap.

" Elle!" he called again.

'It made me want to cry. I just took someone's life! I mean, I had too! She was going to kill me! The wolf guy, I think she called him Blake, is crying now. I made him cry. I still don't believe I just killed her. I know I did though, I can feel her blood on my hands. It must have seeped through my gloves. My head is starting to he now, no wait, my whole body hurts. I forgot that my shoulder still has that dagger in it, and my wing now has a whole in it. I won't be able to fly for a while. This is just great! Why is my vision all blurry? Wait, am I crying? Why am I crying? I've never cried before! I'm too strong for this. I don't believe this! He has a right to cry I don't!'

Kage's POV

'Hey, her shoulders just shook. Whoa, is she crying? The great Genesis crying? I can't really blame her; she just killed someone after all. I don't see her as a killer though, that Elle girl is the one to blame. If she didn't charge at Gen like that then she would be alive. I'd better go check on her.'

I slowly walked over to her and placed a hand on her uninjured shoulder.

" Gen, you okay?" I asked.

Her body jumped slightly at the sound of my voice. She turned around, blood pouring out of her shoulder wound. The dagger is in her hand. She dropped it and sure enough she is crying.

" No, I'm not," she whispered.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. I can feel her body shaking, her tears on my shoulders, and her blood on me. My arms wrapped around her small form and held her tightly. She just continued to sob, and I continued to let her. A few tears slipped from my eyes as well.

Soon she stopped, my ears twitched. Her breathing was different. Cold sweat ran down my face as I looked to Auntie Cream.

Normal POV

" Auntie Cream! Gen isn't breathing right!" Kage yelled.

This got everyone's, excluding Blake's, attention.

" Hand her to me, we've got to get out of here!" Cream yelled.

Kage picked Gen up bridle style and handed her to Cream. Gen's breathing was shallow, but she was breathing. Cream placed a hand to the child's forehead. She withdrew it quickly.

" How could she have developed a fever in so short of a time?" Cream questioned.

Omega walked over to Cream and took Gen from her arms.

" Scanners show her fever is 101.2, immediate medical attention is required," he stated.

Cream nodded and looked at the kids. She motioned for them to follow her and they did. First, they ran and grabbed the Master Emerald then they ran down the hall and into the hanger. She smiled when she saw the X-Cyclone ready to launch. The kids, her and Emerl jumped in while Omega and Gamma switched to hover-mode. Cream put on her headset.

" Launching X-Cyclone!" she yelled as the plane took to the air.

Omega and Gamma weren't far behind.

Cream didn't look back, " activate self-destruct sequence Emerl."

Emerl nodded, " self-destruct in one minute."

She nodded and looked off into the sunset.

" Elle?" Blake questioned again.

He was getting desperate. She hadn't moved. Deep down, he knew she was dead, but he just couldn't except it.

" Self-destruct in ten seconds."

He didn't know where that voice came from, but he didn't really care either.

" We can live in hell, together, forever," he whispered into her ear.

" Two."

He lightly pressed his lips to her cheek.

" One."

" Self destruction complete," Emerl stated.

Page and Kage had fallen asleep, and Gen was out cold. Omega had put a temporary bandage on her wing and shoulder. She wasn't losing much blood, but she had lost a lot earlier. The clock in the X-Cyclone read nine o'clock. A site to land came into view.

Slowly, she brought the plane down. The site looked like it had just recently been inhabited, maybe a little more then twenty-four hours ago.

" Tails," Cream whispered, " he must be flying slowly to reserve fuel."

Omega and Gamma landed beside her. They helped, along with Emerl, to unload certain things. They unloaded the Master Emerald since it could provide a heat source. Cream smiled as Tikal appeared. She was slightly startled, but relaxed.

" Tikal, nice to see you," Cream smiled.

" It is nice to see you too Cream. I wanted to tell you to place Gen by the Master Emerald. It want's to heal her," Tikal whispered.

Page and Kage were still asleep. Cream nodded and did as she was told. The Master Emerald began to glow, as did Gen. She watched as Gen rose into the air a bit, but then went back down. The glow stopped and Tikal smiled.

" It is done now, she is as good as new," Tikal stated, " also, I wanted to tell you that you could sleep tonight because Chaos and I are going to watch over you."

Cream nodded, and a smile crossed her lips, " thank you Tikal."

" It is no trouble my friend. Why don't you go to sleep now, you need all the rest you can get."

Cream POV

I smiled and lay down on the ground, looking up at the stars.

'How I have missed the stars over the years. I don't get to see them much anymore. With all the commotion as of late, I guess I just haven't had the time. I guess you never really know what you have until you have to do with out it.'

I felt the warm wind hit my body, as if coursing me to sleep. My eyelids got heavy and soon enough, I did.

Normal POV

Tails was chained to a wall in the prison block, alone. A bared window was very close to him. The others were in a different cell, but not Rouge. No one knew what had happened to Rouge. They had all been knocked out and placed in the cells.

He had heard Knuckles yelling, asking where Rouge was. The guards didn't answer him though. They had told him that he couldn't be with the others because he was impure, a freak of nature. The words did hurt him, but he didn't let it show. He looked out to the stars and smiled.

Recently, they had always made him feel better. He couldn't explain it, they just did. It could have something to do with the fact that Cream had made him look at the stars with her before they went underground.

" Cream, please," he whispered, " be safe."

His voice was horse due to the fact he hadn't had any water in hours. Somehow, he felt that Cream was with him, watching the stars as well. With that thought in his head, he felt sleep over take him.
