I heard things while I was running, that what I had encountered had killed Sonic and that this was happening everywhere.
Eggman had finally found a way to conquer the world, that his robots were everywhere.
I didn't care about that because after I managed to catch up with the evacuation carried out by the Resistance, I managed to find a quiet spot in a corner of the airship that they were using to get us out of there. I pulled out my phone and I tried to call everyone that I knew but no-one responded.
My phone died on me and I screamed, I would have thrown it away if it wasn't for another civilian that stopped me before I could do it.
It was a young wolf, cream and grey, that wanted to know if I had seen her parents. She had seen me save cilivians and she wanted to know if I had saved them.
I shook my head.
"I'm sorry kid but no. I haven't seen anyone that matches your description of your parents."
She looked like she was about to cry.
And I wanted to cry too, I wanted to go home, to wake up and find out that this was a dream, that this was not happening.
And so did the Kid.
I was scared and so was the Kid, it wasn't fair, she was a child...
I realized that throwing a tantrum in front of this kid was not the right thing to do, this kid needed someone to hold onto, to be their pillar in this time of crisis.
I still felt my fear but I shoved it aside, to deal with it later, I had more important things to worry about. I took a deep breath and I looked at the kid.
"Everything's going to be alright." I ruffled the top of her head. "I promise. We're not the only ones on this airship, so let's go and look around, maybe somebody else saw your parents."
The kid smiled and she grabbed my hand before she dragged me away.
