Chapter 2

Vector stared at the body until he felt someone shaking beside him. He and looked down to see a very pale looking chameleon beside him. Vector dropped to his knees to comfort Espio.

"He had never been like this before." Vector thought as he placed his hand on Espio's arm.

"You ok Espio...Whats gotten into you?"

"I dont know Vector...something doesnt feel right thats all"

Vector began to get back to his feet when he felt someone tug on his arm.

"V..Vector..." Vector looked at Espio who was now eyeing the floor.

"...Is...Isitokaytobeafraid." Vector looked at the chameleon.

"Espio...of course it is...but theres nothing to be afraid of...me and Chamy are here too."Vector reassured him.

As Espio and Vector stood they noticed Charmy examining the surrounding area. Vector started to walk over to Charmy, when he noticed Espio wasnt following, he looked back to see Espio staring at the ground. He continued to make his way over to Charmy until a door slammed shut. Everyone froze, except Espio who ran over to Vector. There was another slamming noise but from behind them this time.

The trio scanned the room as they backed into a hallway away from the body, as they did so, the door in front of them slammed shut keeping them away from their exit.

Vector, Charmy and Espio sat in a corner, it was now a dead end at both sides of the room. This alone made Espio even more nervous. He hated being claustraphobic, it was such a disadvantage, he tried to control the panic that was growing inside him but he was unable to console it. Espio started to shake as the panic attack started...his breathing came in short, shallow breathes which caught the attention of Vector . He got Charmy out of they way so he could try to calm the chameleon. Vector knew that Espio was claustraphobic but he didnt know how bad it could get. Vector pulled Espio into his arms as he started to speak to him, trying to divert his attention from the surroundings they were trapped in but Espio's panic attack kept getting worse, he had started to cry and was now struggling to get away from Vector but he had a firm grip on him.

Hours seemed to past. Espio had finally become exhausted from struggling and had turned to sobbing into Vector as they sat on the ground. Charmy was bored (which isnt exactly surprising). Vector pulled his phone out again to try and get a signal...but... there was none. Vector sighed and looked down at Espio who had eventually cried himself to exhaustion and had fallen asleep. He then looked to charmy who had fallen asleep too

"Guess they have the right idea" Vector sighed to himself

He switched off his phone to reserve the battery, put it away and lay down too. He looked to Charmy lying at his shoulder and Espio curled up at his side, he sighed as he shifted himself so he could get some sleep but just in time to see Espio yawn and open his eyes to looked at Vector who was now lying down looking at him.

"Espio get some sleep" he whispered

Espio yawned in responce curled up and fell asleep once again as did Vector.

(Hope you liked it. I dont know how many chapters there are going to be. Sorry if you feel that Espio is out of charactor but it fits in with the story...)
