Cream sat on her bed crying into her pillow. As if there's no hope for her anymore. There was a slight knock on the door. Cream didn't say anything but continued crying deeply. The door slightly opens alittle and Knuckles walks in with a slight smile on his face.
"Cream...are you okay?" He asked careingly. He walked over to her bed and rapped his arm around her.
Cream lifted her head up to Knuckles's face and rubbed her eyes from the tears, Knuckles could see she was really upset. Her eyes were red and puffy looking. Her face was deep red from hiding in her pillow.
"I am not okay.." She whistpered.
Knuckles frowned. "May I ask what's wrong?" He asked.
Cream turned away and pulled the pillow over her face. She turned to the window and looked out to it.
"I am so lost.." She cried.
Knuckles jumped off her bed and walked over to her again.
"If you could just tell me maybe I can help." he said placing his hands on her two shoulders.
Cream turned to the red echidna. "There's nothing you can do.." She said crossing her arms jumping back on her bed. "Knuckles...do me a favor.." She said.
"Sure Cream. Anything." He said.
Cream raised her finger up and pointed to the door. Knuckles understood and walked out confused. But horrible. If only he knew...
Next day
Knuckles felt like running around the city so he left the Master Emerald for a while and went to Creams place for a bit. But once he got there disaster hit right from the start. He opened the door and saw the house ruined. Wall paper, Paint, Furnitur, Sinks, bathrooms. Messed up. Half the walls were torn up and falling. Knuckles ran upstairs into Creams room hopeing she's okay. He slammed the door opened and saw chairs and her bed upside down. He looked arond. (No lights) He flipped her chair over and saw Cream injured in a curled up position. She was asleep. Knuckles frowned and took her by the arms, He carried her in his arms and ran out of the house. To Sonic's..
Few hours later.
Knuckles laid Cream on Amy and Sonic's bed tenderly.
"What happened to her?" Sonic asked.
"I don't know...I just ran to her place and her house fell apart." He answered.
"Where's her mom?"
"I don't know she wasn't there when I was there." He said.
Sonic looked to Amy. She had a worried look on her face.
"What do we do with Cream?" She asked.
"Can you guys keep her here with you?" He asked. Sonic and Amy both nodded. Knuckles did a small nod and ran out the door.
"I hope Creams ok.." Amy said whipping some tears away form her eyes.
"Hopefully when she gets up well know the story."
Another day later.
Cream got up slowly and rubbed her eyes. She saw the sun shine shine on her face, She felt warm and safe. There was a knock Sonic walked in carrying some food. He sat next to Cream and held her a plate of soup.
"Hows it going?" He asked.
Cream nodded and took sips
of her soup. She turned to her blue hero.
"What happened last
night?" He asked.
Cream stepped back in suprise.
"How do you know what happened?" She asked.
Sonic shrugged. "Well I don't. Knuckles found you at your house injured and the house was halfway torn apart. So, what happened?" He asked.
Cream felt some tears flow threwout her cheeks.
Sonic looked ocnfused again.
"Cheese...Left me." She said rubbing her eyes.
Sonic had a shocking look. "Where'd he go?" He cried.
Cream had a angry look. She was VERY serious. "I am not in the mood of humorous jokes Mr, Sonic!" She cried.
Sonic got up and rubbed her shoulders.
"Where is he really?" He asked.
Cream turned to the curious hedgehog.
"Cheese...It was his time to go.." She cried. She pulled up her dress and cried in it. Sonic was shocked again. He slowly pulled Cream close to him and hugged her tightly.
"I am so sorry Cream.." He whistpered. Cream nodded on his chest and started whimpering even louder. She rubbed her eyes.
"But that doesn't exsplain why you were hurt." He said.
Cream rubbed her eyes some more. Sonic could see the pain and sorrow in her eyes.
"Cheese died two nights ago..That's when I started crying...But this morning..I woke up...And I see my mother on the floor. And she looked so hurt..A-And, I turn around. And..nothing.." She said.
Sonic looked directly at her. "And Vanilla?" He asked.
Cream shook her head slowly.
"So you don't know what happened to her?" He asked.
"I saw her and she wasn't breathing...She...died...Right in front of me.." She cried again. She rapped her arms around Sonics waist.
"Um, Cream. After everything went black then what?" He asked.
"I don't know...All I remember is that. And waking up in your bed." She answered. Her eyes were red and puffy again.
Sonic hugged her close again. "I am very sorry Cream.." Sonic whistpered.
Cream sniffled alot. She pulled away from Sonic and looked up at him. Sonic couldn't take seeing Cream in so much pain. He placed his hands on her cheeks and whipped away the tears.
"Where am I supposed to go now huh..? I am lost..With no dad...No mom...And no close friend.." She cried. Sonic looked around the room. "You are going, to stay with us." He said.
Cream shook her head.
"I can't do that Sonic.." She whistpered.
Sonic placed his fingers on her mouth. "Yes You can, And you will. Amy and I wont allow you to live alone." He said.
Cream had a slight smile and hugged Sonic again.
Sonic rocked her back and forth on his bed.
"Lifes just not fair.."
Chapter one done.
