Now I bring you chapter two of What Lies Beneath.
I'm Fine, Really!
The doctor arrives soon after the call to check on Sonic.
"Well, he seems in stable condition. Depression, headaches and mood changes are all symptoms of exhaustion. Let him sleep and make sure he drinks lots of water." The doctor explained to Tails as he got up to leave.
"So, he'll be okay?" Tails asked anxiously.
"Yes, Tails. Sonic will be fine." The doctor reassured before saying his farewells and heading out the door.
Tails stared at his older brother. It was unnatural for the young fox to see Sonic so motionless. It sent shivers down Tails' spine... When would he wake up? The yellow kitsune had too many questions.
After what seemed like forever, Sonic started to stir.
"Sonic?!" Tails burst out as he noticed his friend jump up.
* Sonic PoV* (I do these for a reason *wink wink Nudge nudge*
My eyes flicker open as I tried to adjust to the light.
First thing I hear is Tails call out my name, making me bolt up. Looking around frantically, my eyes finally fix on Tails, who was sitting on the ground next to me. And, it looks like he's... crying? It takes me a moment to realize what happened. Did he really come out yesterday? Could he be the cause of my headaches and odd behavior?
To cheer Tails up, I say, playfully, "Dude, I'm still alive... right?!" And then, I felt all around myself as if to check if I was solid. This made Tails laugh, which made me smile, but inside I was scared.
Scared of what I knew, and he didn't...
*Back To (The future) Third-person*
Tails laughed at Sonic's joke; he always know how to make the fox laugh.
But the moment didn't last long when Tails noticed a drastic change in Sonic's expression. The hedgehog just froze there, as if in a trance. A hint of fear and sadness was evident on his face. He started to nowhere and his eye color kept flickering from the bright emerald green to the murderous dark green that seemed to pierce the fox's eyes.
This freaked Tails out a bit, so he tried to get Sonic's attention, "Sonic?"
"What?! Oh, yeah Buddy?" Sonic replied, snapping right out of his daydream.
"Are you okay?" Tails frowns a bit.
Sonic's expression flashed, he looked at Tails full of anger, then the next second, he smiled again, "Yeah! Totally fine." Sonic replied with a quick, but forced smile.
Then, Sonic got up and walked toward the stairs. The yellow fox restrained himself from following Sonic, figuring he wanted to be left alone. So, he left him be.
The bedroom door then closes loudly, soon after, angered yells emitted from Sonic's room.
Though, this wasn't anything new. Sonic has been yelling at himself for a while now. Tails thought it was that mirror that hangs in his room. But he never understood most of what Sonic was saying, but it's like... there's another person in there with him. And the only response the hedgehog ever gets is from himself. Tails knew that there was something seriously wrong with the blue blur, but he didn't want to stress him too much with his questions.
All the fox wanted to do was help him!
