Exe's p.o.v.
As I walked home I thought about what would happen in this war. All the deaths that would occur and everything that I have tried to protect. I've tried being a hero but I'm going to kill my own friends. 'Why can't anything ever be simple? Why is Frank going after my friends?' As I walked in, Chaos was surprised that I walked in alone.
"Sonic? Where's Dll?" I said nothing as I just walked upstairs and shut my door behind me. I sat down on my bed and looked at the shelve of the dolls I made. One doll of each of my friends. A Tails doll, Knuckles doll, Rouge doll, Shadow doll and Cream doll. I even made one of myself with my emerald eyes. I grabbed my lookalike doll and sat back down on my bed. 'What am I ever going to do now?' I heard a knock and saw Chaos come in.
"Hey."
"What are you doing?" he sat down beside me
"Just seeing how my step-son is doing. What's bothering you Sonic?" I sighed and looked at the doll.
"The council made the announcement of the war today and... I'm not sure what to do." he stayed quiet and just sat beside me. "Chaos?"
"Hmm?"
"Why can't things go back to how they were before the war even became a possibility?"
"Everything has to change and sometimes, those changes are bad but some can be good to."
"That can't always be the answer. I've been a hero for 8 years and I've never had to worry about change. Frank just wants to target me. I'm the one he wants, first with the nightmare, then with Amy and now this. Why is he after me?"
"Maybe... he wants something from you."
"Yeah cause I'm half mortal." he sighed
"Sonic, maybe you should look into it more. Find out what he wants. It might also help you if you look into your hero side. What you've learned from being a hero and what your friends have taught you." I looked at him then back at the doll.
"I guess I can try." he stood up and walked over to the door
"Good, cause I think you need to get you head out of the clouds and back in reality." I chuckled and looked over at him. He closed the door behind him and I laid down on my bed. 'It doesn't just feel like he wants something but is showing me something instead.' I closed my eyes and the nightmare from three years ago played in my mind.
"A demon's instinct is to kill any one who gets in their way and have no remorse about it later. They are killing machines."
My eyes snapped open at the thought. 'Is that what he's trying to tell me? Why he started the war in the first place?' I sat up and walked out of my room making my way downstairs. I looked around and no one was up. I crept out of the room and headed to the door. I reached out to grab the knob and...
"X?" I flinched and sighed, turning to face D behind me. "What are you doing?"
"I was just thinking of doing a run. You know, to clear my mind." he looked at me skeptical before moving towards me.
"I know that's a lie. What are you really doing?" I sighed
"I already told you. Now if you excuse me, the wind is calling my name." I raced out the door before he could say another word. 'If I'm going to find out what he wants then I'm going to have to find the info myself.' I ran all the way to the old library. It was closed but I just teleported inside. I made my way over to the history shelves and found the book on the war. I grabbed it and sat down by a seat where the moon was shining through.
"Okay let's see, taints, blah, blah, blah. killing, yada, yada, yada, Oh, here we go. 'Frank was once a mortal who can get along with anyone but the spark affected him making him think otherwise. Before the spark, he would stop any fight that would happen between an immortal and said once that he never liked seeing death.' Huh, so he never liked death? That's new." I turned a page and a piece of paper fell out. I picked it up and looked at it. "What the? This looks like an old journal page. 'Why can't these immortals ever learn to stop killing? They don't know how much this is a problem. I've just recently found about the half mortal that was born. If I get him to see my way of thinking, I'm sure that he would be able to stop all death.' Wow, Frank never was the bad guy after all?" I put the page back in the book and closed it, placing it back on the shelf. I teleported outside the library and took off back home. 'If I'm going to convince everyone to stop killing, I guess going insane won't be so bad after all.' I arrived back at home and went straight to bed, not even bothering to deal with my angry brother.
