Cries For Help

Sorry its been SO long. Please go to my profile and read the section called FYI.

Chapter 4

Sonic screamed. He had been here and cut her arms. Or had he? She had just woken up, hadn't she?

Maybe that's what he wants me to think... Sonic thought as horror over took her. The nightmare wasn't over. Not by a long shot.

How long will he torment me? Sonic sulked in her thoughts.

The very voice that came from the rapist in her dream answered her, but, not aloud. It was almost as if he knew her very thoughts.

Forever... It mocked her. The rest of your life... You are the one and only victim of the psychic rapist.

She screamed again as she jumped up to run down the hallway. She had to get out of this house! Her life depended on it! She ripped open the door and ran away, leaving it wide open. She didn't look back.

She ran and ran. People she passed stopped and waved. Sonic hadn't been out of her house in two months. And people were relieved to see her patrolling the streets again. Only, she wasn't out patrolling the streets again, she was running for her life from something she could never get away from. Her mind.

She knew the rapist wasn't actually in her house neither was he chasing behind her. He was in her mind. Yes, she had been raped. Yes, she was pregnant by the rapist. Yes, he had been in her house and cut up her arms. Now, he was nowhere to be found but in her head.

Sonic arrived at Tails' door and began to open it, only to learn it was locked. In her fear and desperation, she started beat rapidly on the door.

"Tails! Open the door!" She screamed as the bluebirds stopped their joyful, happy singing. Sonic felt the vile presence creep up behind her, only causing her to beat on the door harder.

"TAILS! HURRY! PLEASE! OPEN THE DOOR!" She sobbed as the door swung open to reveal Tails.

The evil, vile presence that had been creeping closer to her disappeared.

Sonic ran past the door's threshold, quickly closed it, and locked the dead-bolt lock. She began to slow her breathing as Tails looked at her arms with wide eyes.

"No, Tails, it's not what you think..."

Tails cut her off. "You've lied to me before. What makes you think I can believe you now?"

"But, Tails, I didn't..."

"Sonic, you've been showing symptoms of depression lately, which, can lead to this. The evidence on your arms speaks for itself. You're a cutter, are you?" The fox grabbed the hedgehog's arm gently and stroked it.

"No, I'm not, Tails. And I'm not depressed. I'm just..." She pulled her arm out of the fox's grasp.

"Denial isn't just a river in Egypt, ya know. And it's another tell-tell sign." Tails shook his head.

"I'm not denying anything! What do I have to deny?! I'm not depressed, and I'm definitely not a cutter." Sonic's words were harsh.

"You may or may not be depressed, but you certainly aren't the jolly, molly Sonic like you used to be." The fox muttered under his breath.

The living room was quiet. The hedgehog walked over to the couch and sobbed as she fell to lay in a fetal position, facing the back of the couch. What was her life coming to?

Tails preceded to walk over to the loveseat. He also flopped down on loveseat and wiped silent tears from his eyes. He had never spoken to her like that, and he didn't want to ever again. It was torture to see Sonic so broken. To see her so conflicted made Tails conflicted. He lay his head on the back of the loveseat and his eyelids fluttered as he drifted away.

Sonic lay there sniffling back the last few sobs as she drifted off to sleep. She couldn't sleep peacefully, though. The rapist also terrorized her in her sleep. She would be forced to remember what happened that day in the park.

Tails awoke to screaming, he looked out the living room window. It was still daylight. He looked at the clock, it read, 2:46 P.M.

He looked over to the couch. Sonic lay there, still asleep, flailing her arms and screaming (It looked like she was trying to kick, but it seemed as if there was something holding her legs down).

Sonic could feel adrenaline running through her body as she relived the rape for what seemed like the 100th time since she had fallen asleep, but, no matter how hard she tried to wake up, she couldn't.

Tails walked over to Sonic and got down on one knee. He grabbed her by the shoulders and began shaking her.

"Sonic, wake up, your having a nightmar- er, I mean, a daymare! Sonic, come on, wake up!" Tails said soothingly as he continued shaking the blue hedgehog.

Sonic screamed again and punched Tails right square in the nose as she opened her eyes. Tails toppled backwards. Sonic eyes grew wide as she realized what she had just done. She sat up and looked at Tails, his nose was bleeding and his right eye was starting to swell. She could see tears beginning to form.

"Sonic, you need some help..." Tails spoke in a whisper.

Sonic sighed heavily and got up to help Tails tend to his injuries.

"I know I do Tails, I know."
