Sonic had always wanted to meet Tom and Maddie, but not like this, no not like this. He laid on the couch and just stared at the wall while Maddie checked him over with a frown.

Longclaw was in another room recovering on a soft pil of blankets,she had yet to wake up.

Tom opened the door and quickly came in "What happen, you..it sounded major on the phone."His eyes land on Sonic as he backs up "W..what is that?"

Sonic looked at Tom and just sighed,once more looking at the wall quietly,he then spoke "She has to be alright, she does..I..I can't be alone...I can't.."

Maddie frowned "Oh... not alone, youare welcome to stay here, with me and my husband Tom or do you have family somewhere?"

Tom just stood there and finally finds his voice "It..talks, it talks ok today just got very have strange there is a talking blue hedhog in our home, wait you said a couple..is there another one too?"

'Longclaw" Sonic spoke quietly and curled into a spiky ball"Please...please...-please"

Maddie took Tom aside "She is a large owl, really old owl my guess and seems she was careing for...ummm...the hedgehog."

Tom looks at Sonic and walked didn't know what to do but he understood when someone was worried about a loved one "She...Maddie will try and do her best bud. So what's your name?"

There wasn't a reply as Sonic had ended up falling asleep so a blanket was placed on him and Tom took first watch over the young hedgehog.

It was morning when Sonic woke and at first paniced on where he was, then he remembered and went stright to where Longclaw tip toed to her and touched her wing 'Longclaw?"

Longclaw stired and opened her eyes to look at Sonic, "S..Sonic..where?"

Sonic frowned "Please don't me mad, y..you needed help I...Maddie and Tom are good humans."

Longclaw sat up, a little too fast as she got dizzy"Sonic...we should leave, its not safe so close to humans."

Maddie walked in, slowing when she seen Longclaw sitting up.."I...hello."She remained calm, vet training in action "I see your awake"

Sonic made sure Longclaw didn't fall, he looked at Maddie and then Longclaw."She won't hurt you."

Longclaw narrowed her eyes and studied the human before her, she then sighed "Thank you but we should leave." She got to the floor and nudged Sonic to the door."Let's go."

Maddie backed off, unsure of the large owl,"You should still rest.."

Sonic followed Longclaw and shurged at Maddie, he two beasts slowly went took sonic and went to fly off,they didnt get all the way to the cave but it was still a wooded owl was tired"We can rest here..then get to the cave at dusk"

Maddie watched them go and told Tom what happen "I'm worried Tom...he's a child and..and I don't think his caretaker is in that good of shape."

Tom nodded "I am unsure what we can do honey..."
