Note: Tails is female in this so deal with it ok.
It was one of those bitterly cold winters nights when Millie Prower was trudging through the forest, knee-deep in snow, freezing cold, very sick, soaked through, and extremely hungry. Her parents had chucked her out of the house, not before abusing her that is. Millie knew this would be the end of her, no way could he survive this, his only hope of warmth came from her detested twin tails, she found a spot under a tree, dug it out a bit, then slipped inside, curled up, and attempted to sleep.
Sonic was speeding through the forest at early morning, around 5am, when he saw something that made him stop dead in his tracks, something or rather someone yellow was curled up in a ball under a tree, Sonic zoomed over to it, and to his disgust and shock, it was a person, their golden fur was a dirty yellow from dirt, it was long and unkempt in appearance as well. Large pointed ears, and two matted tails wrapped around her. "Hey there little guy." said Sonic in a soothing voice, "Lets get you out of here shall." the fox flinched as Sonic touched her arm "Don't hurt me please." it moaned in an anguished way. Sonic new feeling of sympathy intensified painfully, "I'm not going to hurt you, I'm trying to help you." Sonic assured her "I don't believe you, no one cares about me, I'm just a worthless freak." the vixen said sadly "Now that's not true, your tails are really cool!" Sonic said. The vixen was about to say something but broke into violent coughs which shook her malnourished frame. Her breathing was raspy and uneven, Sonic picked her up from the hole, she attempted to escape but was far too sick, and zoomed off to his house.
It had been 3 hours since he had brought the young fox girl and now she began to stir, Millie found her chest ached with soreness, meaning her breathing was still raspy and uneven, her head pounded and her injuries felt painful, however she felt pleasantly warm and she was wearing new, clean and comfy clothes and lying on a small, soft bed in a small bedroom. She coughed again and her chest felt even worse than before. Her coughing fit had obviously disturbed the blue hedgehog as he suddenly appeared in the doorway, his emerald green eyes bore into her.
"So your finally awake," he began, Millie pulled the sheets up her face nervously "care to tell me why you were in a ball under a tree in a forest at 5am?" Sonic asked, Millie shook her head vigourusly "Come on now, we have breakfast and you can tell me exactly what happened." Millie had no objection to having some food, her parents had refused to feed her more than a single slice of bread a day for as long as she could remember and the offer of a nice meal was irresistible to her.
"I take it you enjoyed that." Sonic chuckled, Millie had ate a large amount of food. Millie still looked suspicious of Sonic, "Care to tell me what you were doing under a tree?" asked the cobalt hedgehog calmly. Millie looked out the window and nodded. "I was born with two tails" Millie began, Sonic now noticed that she had a heavy British accent "my parents and everyone who saw them were disgusted, except my brother James." She pulled an old, damp photo the pocket of the jacket she had worn when she met Sonic mere hours ago and showed it to him. The photo had 4 people, but not Millie "This was taken when I was 13, there's my brother." She pointed to a yellow furred fox with brown eyes, "He was 16 when this was taken. There's my sister." She pointed to a fat, red vixen. "That's Valerie, she's 17 now." Sonic looked at her parents, her father had an eye patch over 1 of his blue eyes, he had golden fur and was quite tall like his youngest daughter, her mother was tall with red fur and grey eyes, she was rather plump. "My parents chucked me out of the house and told me not to come back, they didn't feed me well either." She said "I can tell." Sonic said. I always liked food like my mother and sister, it runs in the family I guess.
It had been 4 months since Millie had met Sonic and a lot had changed, Millie wasn't frail and thin anymore but chubby and cute, the 15-year-old was fine with how she looked, she was healthy and that's what mattered to her. Sonic was happy for the vixen and had got to know her a lot better than before, she was kind, caring and smart, however she was still rather shy. However Sonic was happier than he'd ever been, he finally had a close friend called Millie 'Talisko' Prower.
