Chapter Twelve: Unwanted Memories

Cream heard a grunt and felt her heart lift.

" Tails," she whispered.

" You're a freak, and you deserve to die," a harsh voice said.

She felt her blood run cold. That voice was familiar in away, but she couldn't place it. There was a nagging feeling in her stomach, telling her to get away from there, but there was also a feeling telling her she needed to hurry over there. She heard Tails scream in pain and that was it for her. Cream pulled her fist back and punched the metal slate in front of her.

It broke and fell to the ground. Nickel stopped as the metal fell in front of him. The metal was followed by a rabbit in a yellow tube top and blue jeans. Tails opened his eyes and saw her standing over him. Even though Nickel could only see her back, there was something very familiar about her.

" Cream, what are you doing here?" Tails asked.

" Tails, are you okay? Oh my God you're hurt! Here take this!" she placed a ring in his hand and folded his fingers over it.

" A ring? Where did you get this?" he asked as he activated its power.

Nickel stared in disbelief as the cuts on Tails' body slowly began to disappear. The ring faded and Tails stood up. He took Cream by the shoulders and hugged her.

" Now, what are you doing here? It's dangerous."

" They attacked the base and Gen had a weird nightmare saying we needed to find you guys. So we came here. Besides, by the look of things you should be thanking me for the help."

Tails smiled and broke the embrace, " thank you Cream."

" Your welcome."

" Hate to break up your little love fest, but I do believe we have a battle to finish freak," Nickel stated, getting ready to fight.

Cream began to turn around, " he's not a fre……"

Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at his light blue eyes. A smirk crossed Nickel's lips as he saw the horror in her eyes.

" Now I remember you, and by the look in your eyes you remember me too, isn't that right squirt?"

Cream started to involuntarily shake as she just stared at him.

" Cream? Are you okay?" Tails asked worriedly.

Tails glared daggers at Nickel. Cream started to back away from Nickel. Her mind was racing with so many questions. She felt herself bump into the wall. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stared at him. She damn well knew who he was, and what he was capable of.

Lost memories of that night began to flash in her mind.

A ten-year-old Cream walked down the street with her mother, Vanilla. It had been about four months since Eggman and Omega had died. Everyone was still looking for the Chaos Emeralds. Her boyfriend, Tails was turning eleven in two days. Her and her mother were out looking for a present for them.

Vanilla had known about the new couple since they had gotten together. She was extremely happy for her daughter, because she knew that Tails would always love and protect her.

" How about this store honey?" Vanilla asked, pointing to a mechanics store.

Cream nodded and they walked in. After about two hours, they had placed an order for spare parts, scrap metal and a new set of tools that would be engraved with Tails' logo. The order should arrive tomorrow at her house. Then, she would invite Tails' over because they had planned to spend the whole afternoon together. She would give him his presents, and the special homemade cake she was going to make.

It just so happened that his birthday was on the same day as their five-month anniversary. She was so happy that they had been together for five months. Vanilla looked down at her daughters smiling face and smiled. Cream heard a soft rustling sound coming from the ally next to her. She looked down it and gasped in surprise.

There was a small kitten playing with a cardboard box. It had white fur with gray paws. One of its ears was also gray. It had big blue eyes and a black nose. Over all it was a very adorable looking kitten in Cream's eyes.

" Mommy? Can we please take that poor kitty home with us?" Cream begged.

Vanilla looked down at her daughter and smiled, " sure. Be careful though, it might bite or scratch you Cream dear."

Cream nodded and ran towards the kitten, but it began to run away.

" Hey, wait! I just wanna give you a home!" Cream yelled, running after it.

Vanilla ran after her, " Cream dear, don't run you could fall and get hurt!"

Cream had the kitten cornered when she felt someone grab her by her shoulders. She screamed as the figure turned her around. Cream stopped screaming as she came face to face with her mother.

" Cream, I thought I told you not to run," Vanilla said sternly.

Cream looked down to the ground, " I'm sorry mom, I just wanted to catch the kitten."

A dark figure stepped out of the shadows.

" Hello there Vanilla, squirt," it said.

The voice was male, and didn't sound too friendly. Vanilla pulled Cream into a protective hug.

" Who are you, and how do you know us?" Vanilla questioned.

He looked at them with his hard blue eyes, and Vanilla tightened her grip on her daughter. He smiled evilly and unsheathed a sword. The blade was pointed at Vanilla. The blue eyed person charged at Vanilla. She had just enough time to throw he daughter out of the way, before the sword went through her stomach.

Vanilla screamed in pain, and the figure just pushed the sword further into her. As quickly as it was there, it was gone. Vanilla collapsed and a pool of blood quickly formed under her. Cream opened her eyes and saw her mother on the ground bleeding, the figure just turned his gaze over to her. She ran over to her and flipped her onto her back.

" Mom? Mom? Please answer me! I don't want you to go away! You can't leave me!"

Vanilla opened one eye and looked at her daughter, " Cream, I love you. Be strong through out your life, and be happy for me okay?"

Cream had tears streaming down her face, " I will mom, and I love you too."

Vanilla nodded weakly, her eyes closed for the last time. Cream began to sob as her mother lay dead in the ally. The blood began to soak through her dress, and her gloves where already soaked.

" Mom, don't leave me, please," she choked out.

" I have a message I want you to tell your friends."

Cream looked up at the figure that had just killed her mother. Her lips couldn't move, her body couldn't move. Overwhelming fear gripped her heart as he raised the sword again.

" My master told me to tell you, he will be coming for her soon, she will become his once again and there is nothing you and your friends can do to stop them. Once she is back in his grasp, he will purify the world of all evils and all those who object him. Tell them this when you see them."

She felt enormous pain in the back of her head and fell to the ground. Her body was covered her mother's blood. She saw him disappear before her world went black.

Time passed as Cream lay next to her dead mother's body, day turned into early evening. No one even noticed them lying there.

When Cream finally woke up, her head was in pain as was her heart. She began to cry again when she saw her mother's form. Cream tried to recall what happened, but she couldn't. All she could remember where a pair of cold blue eyes. She forced herself to stand and walked over to a near by payphone.

Taking fifty cents out of her pocket and pushing them into the slot, she dialed Tails' number.

" Hello, this is Tails whom may I ask is speaking?"

" Tails?" Cream asked, her voice was raspy from crying so much.

" Cream? Are you okay? Do you want me to come down there? Where are you?"

" I'm in front of the Station Square Burger Shop. Please come and get me. We'll talk more when you get here."

" Cream, what happened? Are you okay?"

She didn't answer, and hung up the phone. Cream sat on the curb and thanked God that there wenen't many people around. She didn't know what time it was and didn't really care.

" Cream! Oh my God! Where did all this blood come from?" Tails yelled as he rushed to her side.

" Tails?" she asked looking up into his soft, worry filled eyes.

She wrapped her arms around him and began to cry, " she dead Tails."

" Who's dead Cream?" Tails asked as he rubbed her back.

" My mom," Cream whispered as she began to cry harder.

Tails eyes widened in shock as he tightened his grip on her.

" Oh Cream, I'm so sorry. What happened?"

" I can't remember. I can't remember anything that happened! I'm so stupid!"

" No your not, don't say things like that. Let's get you home and notify the proper authourities okay?"

Cream nodded into his chest as he picked her up, bridal style. He started to spin his tails around and took off into the air. She was clutching onto him for dear life as they flew in the air. He dropped down on her front lawn and opened the door. She was asleep in his arms and he didn't want to wake her, but he knew he had too.

" Cream, wake up. You're home," he whispered.

She slowly opened her blood shot eyes. Cream tried to smile up at him, but just couldn't manage it. He put her feet on the ground and helped her stand.

" Thanks Tails," she stated.

" It's no problem, I'll start a hot shower for you if you want."

Cream nodded as he walked into the bathroom. Water could be heard as he emerged, with a plastic bag.

" When you take your clothes off," a light blush could be seen on his face after that comment, " put them in this bag. They'll need to be saved as evidence. You're shoes too."

Cream nodded again and took the bag from him and walked into the bathroom.

" I'm going to call Amy and tell her, is that okay with you?"

" Yes!" she shouted from the closed bathroom door.

Tails picked up the phone and dialed Amy's number.

" Hello?"

" Amy? This is Tails."

" Tails? How are you doing?"

" Amy, I need you to get over to Cream's house right away. It's urgent."

" Why what happened? Are Cram and Vanilla alright?"

" No, Vanilla was murdered, just get over here soon okay?"

" Yeah, be over in five minutes."

Tails hung up the phone and sat on the couch, waiting for Amy to come. While he was waiting, he called the police and told them what he knew. They told him that Cream would need to come by the station tomorrow to make a statement and ID the body. True to her word, five minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Tails quickly walked over and opened the door.

" How is she Tails?" Amy asked as she walked in.

" She's taking a shower right now. Can you go get her a set of clothes ready for when she gets out?" Tails asked, " I would do it, but yeah there is the whole I'm a boy thing and her a girl thing."

Amy giggled and began to walk upstairs, " sure thing."

A minute later, Amy came down holding a pair of light blue pajamas with stars on them. She walked over to the bathroom door and knocked.

" Cream? It's me Amy. Just open your door a bit so I can hand you some clothes okay?"

Cream did as she was told and opened the door. Amy held out the clothes for her and she took them.

" Tell Tails that I don't wanna stay here tonight. I just can't."

Amy nodded, " okay, I will."

Cream shut the door and Amy walked over to Tails.

" She say anything?" Tails asked.

" She can't stay here tonight Tails, she said she just can't."

Tails nodded, " she can come stay with me if she wants. Hell, she can even move in if she wants. I just want her to be happy, and I want to find the twisted bastard that did this so I can kill him."

Amy stood there in shock; Tails had never talked like this before, nor acted like this.

" No Tail," Cream stated as she walked out in her changed clothes.

Tails looked her in the eyes; she was different now. A strong desire for revenge was present, but grief, guilt, pain and love were still present.

" Revenge will be mine, no if and or buts about it."

Tails nodded and stood up, " I understand. Amy told me you didn't want to stay here tonight?"

Cream nodded, " yeah, I just can't bring myself to do it. I don't wanna live here anymore."

" You wanna come live with me then? I mean, we are together and I have spare room you can have."

Cream smiled a small smile, " I'd like that a lot Tails. What about all my stuff?"

" I'll help you take it to his house tomorrow. I bet I can get Knuckles, Rouge, Huri, Shadow and Sonic to help too," Amy stated.

" That's be great Amy, and I'd really appreciate it. Tails, did you call the cops?" Cream asked.

" Yeah, you need to go down to the station tomorrow to give your statement and," he hesitated, " and ID the body. I'm going with you so don't worry about being alone."

Cream nodded as her eyes filled with tears again, Amy rushed to her and took her into a hug. Amy whispered comforting words to her and hugged her tightly. When she broke the embrace with Amy, Tails took her into a protective hug.

" I'll always be here for you okay?"

Cream nodded and they left the house.

" My master told me to tell you, he will be coming for her soon, she will become his once again and there is nothing you and your friends can do to stop them. Once she is back in his grasp, he will purify the world of all evils and all those who object him. Tell them this when you see them," Cream whispered as she stared at Nickel.

" I'm so glad you remember me!" Nickel exclaimed.

" Cream, how do you know Nickel?" Tails asked.

" He is the bastard that killed mom Tails! He stabbed her through the stomach with a sword! Then he knocked me out and let me lay in her blood!" Cream screamed.

Tails was surprised, " he did it?"

Cream nodded as tears streamed down her cheeks.

" Tell me, what made you remember me?" Nickel cockily asked.

" Your eyes," Cream whispered.

Nickel smiled as Tails just glared at him.

" Cream, you've got to be strong. Remember what you told me when I said I was going to kill the person that did that. You told me no, that you wanted to get him yourself. Now is your chance Cream. We can do it together," Tails stated as he wiped her tears away.

Cream nodded and stood up, determination was written all over her face, " right."

Tails stood next to her and got in a fighting stance. Nickel smirked.

" This is for my mom you sick bastard!" Cream yelled.
