Secrets Revealed
Cake sat up crying a little. She had tears running down her face and she looked at her stuff animal. She held it tight and closed her eyes she had another bad dream. "You ok over there?" Brat looked at Cake, Brat was in the kitchen sitting at the table. Cake looked at her a little surprised to see her out of bed. Cake got up and walked up to Brat. " I-I had a bad dream with you in it." Cake looked at the ground. Brat gently hugged her knowing what it was like to have bad dreams. This reason why Brat only sleep for a hour if she's lucky. "Its ok Cake. Dreams help us help or make a realized something we had done." Cake looked up at her, she had a couple tears running down her cheek as she looked at Brat. Brat smiled a little and whipped the tears off of her cheek.
"Come on ill teach you how to cook french toast ok" Cake smiled and nodded. Cake wish Cream was like Brat but, she knew that Cream was to young to really know how to help her. Brat stood up slowly and walked up to the fridge and started to take out the ingredients. "So what's it like where you live, Brat" She walked up next to Brat holding the ingredients Brat handed to her. Brat looked at her and glanced over at Amy who was still asleep and then closed the fridge. "I live on a spaceship that I built" Brat smiled at her, she always was a child magnet. The good thing was that Brat like kids so didn't mind.
"Really you built it!!" Cake Set the ingredients down and looked at Brat. Brat nodded a little "I had help from my crew too." Cake smiled and then looked at the ground "um do you like flowers?" Brat set out some bread. "Yes of coarse who wouldn't" Brat smiled. "YES! I want to show you this really pretty field that Tails showed me! If you want to..." Brat grabbed a step stool and set it in front of the stove. "Yes that would be cool to see. I don't get to see a lot of planet life living in space. So I would love for you to show me" Cake jumped excitedly. " Yay!" She got up on the step stool and Brat showed her step by step how to make french toast.
After a while Brat and Cake started laughed at the table while they ate. The laughter woke Amy up and she sat up and looked at the two. "Morning Amy!" Cake said smiled at her. Amy got up and stretched a little. "Morning Cake, Brat." She was surprise that Brat was out of bed with her injuries. "Morning Amy, we have french toast if you want some" Brat said holding up a plate with some on it. "Brat showed me how to make it and i helped" Cake said so proud. Amy walked up and sat on a chair
" So you let Cake cook over the stove?" She looked at Brat. "Yah, I hope I didn't do something that's wrong. I know some parents don't like there children to do that, but she seems so happy to learn" Brat looked at Cake and then to Amy.
"Im sure its fine" Amy smiled and she tried some of the french toast. "Wow I never tasted french toast like this. This is very good." Amy looked at the two and smiled. "Brat showed me some things she knows from traveling a lot." Cake said and looked at Amy. Amy smiled a little she wasn't used to having her guest cook her food.
"So, um Brat how did you end up crashing through roof of Tails' roof?" She looked at Brat. Brat looked at her and then at the table thinking of something quick to say. " uh I had to bail from my plane." she looked at her hoping that lie might work for now. Cake looked at Brat " Oh what happened to the plane so you had to bail?" Brat looked at her "Well the lightening hit a wing of my plane." Amy looked at Brat trying to piece this story together "So why fly at night during a storm." Brat looked at Amy knowing that she was trying to find a loop hole in her story. Brat looked at the table thinking "well my plane was running so well I flew off farther than I should of. I was on my way back when it started to storm." Amy nodded hearing what she wanted, she found the flaw in Brat story. It had been storming the hole day yesterday and in the storm Tails wouldn't even fly in.
"oh so your plane would had been totaled. I bet tails could fix it, right Amy?" Cake looked at Brat and then to Amy. "Yah tails can fix about anything she looked at Brat. Brat looked at Cake wishing she didn't say that. "Yah, heh that would be great if he could."Brat looked at Amy. Amy stared at Brat and gave her a dirty look. Cake looked at Brat and Amy and didn't know what to say to break the silence.
Amy stood up "Well im going to take a shower. Oh Brat, I washed your clothes and the stuff that was in your pants in the laundry basket. Their in your room ok." Brat nodded as Amy walked off and Brat stood up. "Um Brat what's wrong with Amy? Why was she looking at your like that?" Cake looked at Brat. "Oh er she's just worried about me letting you cook on the stove that's all" Brat smiled and walked back to her room with Cake following her. "Oh, but I wanted to so it should had been ok.." Cake looked at the ground. "Hey don't worry about it Cake ok" Brat turned and looked at her. "You go and watch some tv while I change ok" She nodded a little and walked up picked up her stuff animal and held it close. She remembered her uncle Zack, and how he died right in front of her. She whimpered a little at the thought.
Brat walked out wearing her close and had put everything back in her pockets. There were still holes in her clothes though. Brat walked up and sat next to Cake. "You ok? That's a pretty cute stuff animal there" Cake looked at her and nodded a little and looked down at the stuff animal.
"It must be very special. May I ask who gave it to you?" Brat looked at her. "W-well my uncle did.. well after he died." Cake looked at the ground her eyes started to get teary. "I watched him die as he saved me!" She started to cry and Brat hugged her and knew how death could effect younger kids. Cake continued to cry and Brat looked at Amy who walked out of the bathroom. Amy had one her normal red dress and she walked up to Brat.
"What's wrong with her?" Amy asked quietly. Amy really wanted to ask 'what did you do to her' but decided against it. Brat looked at her "Just something reminded of her home..." Cake looked up at the two and rubbed her eyes when she let go of Brat. "Im sorry about that" Cake looked at the ground and Brat put her hand on her head. "Hey don't worry about it. Don't ever be a shamed of crying got it." Cake looked at Brat and nodded a little.
Amy looked at Brat and wondered if she was the killer that wanted poster said she was. Brat stood up slowly and held out her hand to Cake. "Come on we better get heading back to Tails. We need to see if he needs help cleaning up anything." Cake nodded and smiled. Brat looked over at Amy to see if she was ready to go as well."Well come one you, two. Lets go before traffic picks up." She looked at them and smiled a little and headed out to the parking lot. Brat and Cake followed close behind Amy.
Tails laid on his bed and close his eyes. He had been working on the house all night, so the rain wouldn't ruin the inside. It look as nothing had happened at his house. "Wow he must had stay up all night to do this." Amy said as she let herself into his house. Cake pushed in front of Amy and Brat lend against the door frame for support. Cake looked around "Tails??" Amy looked at Cake "He's sleep lets not bother him ok" Cake looked at Amy and nodded a little. Brat sighed a little and walked it to the living room and sat down. Cake ran up next to her and sat down. Amy walked into the room slowly and looked at Brat.
"Cake, would you mind going up stair to your room to play? I want to talk to Brat alone for a little bit." Cake looked at Amy "Why can't I stay too? Im a big girl.." Amy sighed a little and Brat looked at Cake "Please Cake, I don't want you in here if it gets messy. Ok once me and Amy are done talk you get to so me that flower field got it." Cake smiled and nodded. She was a little worried about them talk but, she ran up stairs and sat near the stairwell to listen in.
" Ok Brat, who the hell are you?" Amy said looking at Brat as she held out the wanted poster. Brat guess as well Amy would look though her stuff like most people. "I was framed ok, so the government put those up." Brat looked at Amy. That answer didn't seem good enough for Amy. " No I smell you reek of blood Brat." Brat stood up and glared at Amy. "You have no clue what blood smells like. Your clean, I know what blood smells like." Brat realized she had said the words to Amy, that would prove that she's been around a lot of blood. Tails stared at Brat, he had walked into the room while they where yelling at each other. "I er uh" Brat looked at the two and backed up a little. She was at a loss of words she had never really said that to anyone. Amy didn't really expect her to say anything like that. Amy held the wanted poster to her side and just stared at Brat.
"S-so you killed them?" Amy asked breaking the silence in the room. Brat looked at the ground a shamed of herself and what she had done. Tails looked at Amy and wanted to know why she was asking Brat these questions.
"Amy what's going on here? You better have a good explanation for asking her these questions " Amy looked at Tails as he walked up to her. Amy held up the wanted sign up to his face. "This is why I'm asking Tails. Im Asking is she's this killer and how she killed 100,000 people. And why in hell she would do such a thing." Tails stared at the paper reading it and then looked at Brat who sat on the couch and her ears lowered.
Cake ran into the room with tears down her check. " No She wouldn't do such a thing! Brat wouldn't hurt anyone!." Cake ran up and hugged Brat tight and closed her eyes. She had a good judgement in people. She knew deep inside that Brat was innocent. Amy and Tails looked at each other and then to Cake and Brat. "Cake.." Brat looked at her and then to the ground. " I did kill all of those people. I killed ever one of them. I'm sorry." Brat closed her eyes. Cake let go of Brat and backed up shaking her head. "No.. NO you lie! Your lying." She was crying. Cake ran out of the house crying and Brat watched her run off.
Brat then looked at Amy hoping she was happy for her answer. Amy looked at the ground, she felt bad that Cake had to hear it. Tails looked at the two and then ran after Cake. "You happy now?" Brat looked at Amy and glared at her a little. Amy looked at the ground "I-im sorry I just wanted to know. I fear for Cake's, Tails' and my life. How am I suppose to know that you aren't going to kill us now?" Amy looked at Brat nearly in tears. Brat looked at her and then to the ground "I won't, I promise you that Amy. I can't leave or protect myself with the injuries I have now. As soon as I can I will leave then. Im not a mass murderer on purpose.. Ok.." Amy looked at Brat and nodded a little she had a couple of tears running down her cheek.
Tails knew where Cake would run off to. He walked up to the field of flowers and saw Cake crying as she held her stuff animal. Tails walked up to her slowly. "Cake?.. you want to talk? Cake looked at him and she stood up and ran up and hugged him. "She didn't do it she didn't!!!" Tails held her and he couldn't believe that Brat said she did, in front of Cake. He wished she would had just lied to Cake. Cake continued to cry and Tails looked down at her.
"S-so why did you kill them Brat?" Amy looked at Brat and sat in a chair. Brat looked at the ground " it was none of my choice. There's something horrible that lurks in side of me. The person I met they released it and I couldn't control it. That side of me, killed them all." Brat closed her eyes at the thought about the day. "Oh, Im sorry I brought it up" Amy looked at Brat. Brat looked at her Amy she had a couple of tears forming her in eyes.
"Its ok.. Im just more worry about Cake. What's she going to think of me now." Amy sighed a little and looked at Brat. "Im sure if you explained it like you did to me she would understand. She's a lot smarter than we all give credit for." Amy smiled a little hoping that might cheer up Brat some. "Ok, I'll talk to her once Tails and her come back." Brat laid back on the couch and sighed. She has only told one other person that she had really kill all of those people. Killing those people gives nightmares where she can't even dare think about sleep without the haunting images appearing in her dreams.
Amy had more questions to ask but, could tell the subject was really hard for Brat to talk about. Amy and Brat sat in silence for about 10 minutes when there was a knock on the door. "Ill get it" Amy said standing up. She walked up to the door and opened it. It was Tails and he was holding Cake who was asleep. Cake had cried herself to sleep so Tails carried her home. Brat sat up and looked at Tails and Cake. Tails looked at Brat and then walked up stairs with Cake.
Tails set Cake in her bed and put the covered over her. "Sleep well, Cake" he looked at her and walked out of the room turning off the light. He slowly walked downstairs knowing that Brat was down there. Brat stood up and looked at Amy. "You want something to drink Amy?" Amy looked a little surprised and nodded a little.
Tails walking into the living room and looked at Brat. Brat looked at him and tried to smiled a little. "You want a drink Tails? Im going to get Amy one." Tails nodded a little and then looked at Amy. Brat walked to the Kitchen and Tails sat on the couch. "So." He looked at Amy hoping she might have an answer to the madness. "Don't worry about Brat ok. She's on our side and won't hurt us ok." Amy smiled at him. He sighed in relief, happy to know that about Brat.
Brat walked backed into the room with drinks for the three. " here I wasn't sure what you two like so I kinda got all of the same." She set down some mountain dews. "Thanks Brat" Tails said as he took a can. Amy took hers and opened it drinking it. Brat sat down on the couch near Tails.
"So you feeling a lot better Brat?" Tails looked at her. "Yah, I can get around better now. Im still not a 100 yet so do you mind if I stay here longer." Brat looked at the ground. Tails looked at Brat and could tell it would mean a lot to her. "Yah, you can Brat as long as your help out with the cooking. Cake said you were a very good cook." He smiled at Brat. Brat looked at him and smiled some. "Thank you so much Tails."
Amy yawned a little and look at the two. "Im going to head back to my house ok, Tails. You think you can handle everything?" Tails looked at Amy and nodded at her as she stood up. "Thank you for your hospitality Amy." Brat looked at Amy. "It was nothing. You just help Tails out here with Cake ok." She smiled at Brat. "Hey I can take care of Cake" Tails looked at Amy. Amy laughed and looked at Brat smiled some. "See you two later tonight." Amy walked out and closed the door.
Tails yawn and Brat looked at him. "You can goto sleep, Tails. You didn't get any sleep fixing up your roof last night." Tails looked at her and nodded a little, he stood up and started to walk out of the room. "Will you be ok here, Brat?" Tails asked her. Brat nodded "Yes Ill be fine, get some sleep ok." He looked at her and walked into his room and flopped onto his bed falling asleep.
Brat sighed and lend back on the couch and looked up the ceiling. She closed her eyes, she hopped that she could leave soon. Brat had a bad feeling that something was going to happen soon.
