Chapter 2 Hospital

(Sonic's POV)

(Listen to Full moon)

I was talking with the gang about what happened a few days ago with scourge.

"It was very strange you guys scourge didnt seem himself"

"Are you worried faker?" shadow said crossing his arms

"Shut up shadow you know i hate scourge but something was different"

"and when you said nobody wanted him alone he threw his jacket to the floor and walked off, scourge never goes anywhere without his jacket" tails said

"What was he doing?" rouge asked

"Eating a chilli dog even asked me how i was i thought he was being a dick again"

"Why would scourge come here... alone as well?" knuckles asked

"Beats me knuckles" sonic said crossing his arms

"And your sure it was scourge?" silver asked

"Yep he even called me blue only scourge calls me blue"

It was then we heard scratching at the door so amy went and opened it i wondered how would come here at this hour and with this storm coming down, we heard amy scream as a wet wolf ran into the house and jumped on me barking and looking very worried. Tails pulled out his translator so we could understand the wolf.

"You have to help my friend is ill"

"Who's your friend?"

"He's a green hedgehog with black and green sneakers leather snake skin gauntlets and a fur cape"

"I don't know him"

"He said his name was scourge"

"No way am I not helping scourge"

"But he needs help he's very ill"

"I don't care scourge can go burn in hell"

"If you don't help that's where he will be going!"

"What?"

"Didnt hear me he's sick and dying"

Like a gunshot we were out of the house and following the wolf back to the forest it had been a few days since i saw scourge so i was wondering why he was out here, then we saw a house made of wood and the wolf ran through the open door with us in tow.

As we entered we saw scourge sitting down in the corner looking like shit his fur colour wasn't bright green anymore it was sickly green and his muzzle was pale white, the wolf ran up to scourge and started to whimper as scourge slowly opened his eyes he smiled and placed his hand on the wolfs head while the wolf lay down.

"Scourge?" i said

"Hey blue" he said coughing up blood

"That's not good" scourge said stroking the dog

"Scourge what's wrong with you?" tails said

"I'm not doing so well kid i can barely keep my eyes open" scourge said leaning back

"I see eclipse went to get you" scourge said smiling at the wolf

"Yeah he said you were ill" rouge said

"For the record it's a she *cough* and i am ill"

"See i've had this condition for a while now something i picked up in the no zone, they call it genetic degeneration"

"What is it?" cream asked

"I can't tell you without giving you nightmares" scourge said standing up but very weakly

"Scourge"

"Let me speak blue i figured by the way i am *cough* i havent got much time left"

Scourge fell to his knees but i cached him before he hit the floor.

"I just wanted to say i'm... sorry, for everything i did you were right i don't belong anywhere"

As he told me all hatred i felt towards him died and i for the first time feared he was going as well, i may have hated him but i never wanted him to die like this because of some disease.

"Hey do me favour blue... when i'm gone take care of eclipse"

"Hey come on scourge you're not the type to give in" i said with a crack in my voice

"I used to be that way blue but i learned something... i'm better off dead" scourge said falling to one knee

"Hey c'mon now you can't die yet"

"Why not blue i havent got anything to live for and besides you're the one who said i wasn't wanted"

I held my twin in my arms as tears started to flow from my eyes for people i expected to cry over when they die scourge was not one of them.

"Hey why you crying blue *cough* you won't have to deal with me anymore" scourge said with a slight grin

I didnt want him to die for the first time since i met scourge i actually wanted him to be alright and yet here he was in my arms dying from degeneration.

"Well looks like this is it *cough* sorry blue but... goodbye"

With that scourge fell limp and eclipse whimpered i don't know what happened but i picked him up and ran as fast as i could to the hospital followed by the others, the nurses took scourge to the I.C.U as used the chest paddles on him. Five jolts and he still did not have a beat they were just about ready to give up when a faint heartbeat showed up on the monitor i was relieved just as the others came to me, i felt a little better as we all waited in the waiting room i don't know why but i was worried for scourge.

"Faker why are you so worried for scourge?" shadow said crossing his arms

"I don't know shadow i just don't know" i said sitting down

A nurse came in and told us the news.

"Mr Scourge is in terrible health his body is decaying from the inside out, we'll give him some cybernetic implants and remove the decayed tissue but from the looks of things he may not make it. There is a slim chance he may but i wouldn't get your hopes up as of now he's been moved to a room and put on life support until the implants are ready"

"..."

"You okay sonic?"

"Yeah i'm fine"

I wasn't i was terrified scourge wasn't going to make it he seemed so weak and he wouldn't ever apologise unless he knew it was the end, god damn it why was i so terrible to him he wasn't causing trouble and i drove him into solitude i felt horrible for what i did to scourge.

(Scourge's POV)

I can hear the faint bleeping of a heart monitor am i in a hospital, why would blue bring me here i do not know but i figured i was dead for sure guess i am too stubborn to die. I wonder what's going to happen to me i can hear the sounds of the life support machine so i must be the I.C.U but i can't move am i in a coma, it would make sense if i was i guess i can only wait and see but i do want to know why he would bring me here and if eclipse is okay. Poor girl must be scared sick worrying i know she's a wolf but she was my friend my one and only friend here in this world i feel so tired i guess i can get some sleep even though i am sleeping already my mind isn't, well goodnight world i wonder if i will wake up from this.
