Cries For Help

Okay, for those of you who don't think I warned you about this being a gender bender,

FEM!Sonic means Female Sonic. Oh, and it will be my writing from now on.

Chapter 2

Sonic awoke shivering. She looked around, she was no longer in the creepy run down shack, she was laying in the wooded area of the park. She had no clothes, since her attacker had cut them to shreds trying to get them off of her so he could go on with his perverted fantasies.

She sat up and just sobbed. She remembered everything: the terror, the pain, the threats. Especially the threats. As she thought about these things, her mind raced back to earlier in the day.

"If you go to the cops, I'll kill you. If you tell a friend and they go to the police, I'll kill you both." He had told her as he finished his dirty work.

Sonic snapped back to the moment. She was very aware she could be pregnant by this pervert. He hadn't used a condom. She knew he hadn't. He had told her to torment her. And it had worked.

Sonic didn't know what to do. She couldn't come out of the trees, at least not slowly. She was as naked as a newborn. Maybe she could run...

As she stood to her feet, she instantly knew she couldn't run. She was in so much pain.

Then, she saw the path right outside the woods. There were some bushes close. Maybe she could lay in the bushes. Hopefully someone would see her foot or arm sticking out of bushes and get her some medical attention.

No, a trip to the hospital means I have to talk to the police, and if I talk to the police, I die. Her thoughts screamed.

Then, before the pain could stop her, she ran was fast as she could home.

A month later...

Tails was worrying about his best friend, and basically sibling, Sonic. She had been really withdrawn here lately. He was standing at her front door debating whether to try to talk to her or not.

Then, he knocked on the door of the dark house. And after what seemed like five minutes, the door opened. The cobalt blue hedgehog emerged with dark circles under her eyes. It was clear to Tails that she hadn't been sleeping.

"What do you want, Tails?" Her voice lacked the energy and enthusiasm it once had. It was almost monotone.

"I just wanted to talk to you, Sonic. You're behavior here lately has me worried." The fox looked pleadingly into Sonic's eyes.

Sonic hated that look. It was like puss in boots' kitty eyes. It was irresistible, but, she had to try because she couldn't tell Tails what had happened a month ago. He WOULD go to the police, all the while leading both of them to certain death. But, if she didn't let him in and talk to him, she'd probably regret it.

"Come on in Tails..." She mumbled as she moved out of the doorway. Tails entered before Sonic could change her mind.

As Sonic closed the door, she turned on the light, confirming what Tails had thought. She had been sitting in the dark.

"So," Tails began awkwardly, "Why have you been acting like this, Sonic?"

"Like what?" Sonic replied, innocently. Maybe, if she played dumb, Tails would decide her awkward behavior was nothing.

"Like sitting in the dark, wanting to be alone, not running? And don't tell me that's normal for you. I know how you are, and that's not how you are. You're...you're... fun loving, joyful, ninety or nothing. And certainly not depressed. So, what happened? Why are you acting so UN-Sonic-like?"

She sat there, her eyes fixated on the fox. She couldn't tell him. He was an innocent little eight-year-old. She couldn't tell him of the horror she had endured. She couldn't tell him she was raped or that she could possibly be pregnant because of it. She had to come up with a lie...and fast!

Then, it hit her... A lie everyone would believe. After ten minutes, she finally responded to the fox.

"Well, Tails, do you expect someone to be happy when their dying?" She lied, trying to keep the smirk off her face.

"Dying? Sonic what do you mean? Are you dying, Sonic?" The fox's voice was thick with fear.

He's buying it...She sighed with relief. But now, to make sure he believed it.

"Yes, Tails," Sonic said, trying to make her own voice thick with fear and sadness, "I have... I have..." She stuttered, hoping to make it seem hard for her to say it.

Tails' eyes were wide now.

"Have what?" He screamed, "You have what, Sonic? Tell me!" Tears where starting to form in his eyes. Sonic hated lying to him, but, she had to. She wasn't about to tell him what happened, at least, not yet.

"Sonic, please, tell me..." The fox's throat sounded restricted.

"Well, Tails, I have...cancer..." She said quietly, hoping he would still believe her. She smiled inside when the fox gasped and let the tears flow.

How she wished he wouldn't cry. Yet, she breathed deeply, hoping she wouldn't burst into tears herself and reveal her lies.

She wasn't dying. She wasn't fatally ill. She was, for all she knew, knocked up by a rapist.

I know this was a little short, but, it was a great place to stop. Review please!
