When school had finished Tails drove his truck home and started to walk to the park. He thought of many different conversations that cream and him were going to have. After awhile of walking he felt like someone was following him. He stopped and looked around but couldn't see anyone. He carried on his route and tried to pass the time. He thought of how Sonic and Amy seemed to no longer be talking and how Shadow had finally found someone he liked. He wished his life was as easy as Shadows. He really didn't want to end up like Sonic and Amy. He loved Cream alot and couldn't understand why she was ignoring him. Before he knew it, he had arrived. Cream was sitting under a tree. She looked worried and her eyes were red. She looked like she had been crying for a while.
"Erm...you wanted to talk to me?"
Tails asked breaking the silence.
"Yes, I did." Replied Cream.
She didn't look up. She just kept staring ahead, like she was in deep was a long pause.
"What about?" Tails said speeding up the conversation. She sighed.
"Me and you, tails."
"What's happening between us?" She finally looked at him. Even when she had been crying she looked beautiful. Tails was confused. He couldn't remember ever doing anything to hurt her.
"You tell me."
"I don't understand why your so upset. I haven't done anything."
Cream looked horrified.
"Haven't done anything! Your so insensitive Miles."
She said with rage. Nobody had ever used his real name in a long time. He didn't even know Cream knew it. Tails was rather stubborn and refused to be insulted.
"Well at least I'm not an insecure cry baby, Cream."
He said, but he regretted it straight away. He saw her eyes fill up with tears. She started to walk away from him. She stopped with her back to him.
"I love you tails. Well, I thought I did. You're different. Goodbye Miles. This the last you'll hear from me."
WIth that she ran off. Tails wondered what Cream meant. Then he realised she wasn't heading in the direction of her home. He started walking towards the way she went when he heard an ear piercing scream. He broke off into a sprint and found cream by the river on the floor, blood surrounding her. She had several stab marks in her back but she was still breathing. Tails ran her to the hospital as quickly as he could. Meanwhile a bloodstained libby was walking out of the forest after hiding the knife. She had a discrete grin on her face. No one was about and it was getting dark so she could sneak home before anyone realised she was there.. Tails waited for Creams results in the waiting room. A nurse came over to him. "Tails?" she quizzed.
"Yes, yes, that's me. How's Cream?"
he asked hurriedly. "Not too good. I'm sorry but the chances of her living are very low. Do you have any idea who done it?"
"Not at all, I didn't see anyone. Cream walked into the forest. I heard a scream. I ran over. She was lying there."
He said breathing very heavily. The nurse walked away and went to the phone. Tails couldn't catch anything she said by she was looking at Tails the whole time. After a while, Tails looked up from the clipboard he was reading and saw two rather big echidnas dressed in police uniform. At first he thought they were just there then he realised why they were here. They started to walk towards him.
"We have reason to believe you are the attacker of Miss Cream. Also, a witness has confirmed she saw you near the area of where miss Amy Rose was kidnapped."
"What? Amy is missing!? And why would I try to kill Cream?"
Tails said trying to reason with them.
"I don't know what goes through people like you's mind. Your coming with us."
With that they handcuffed Tails and took him off to prison.
"You have done well Liberty. Cream is very nearly dead an Tails is in prison. You are now one of us."
"Thank you your Ladyship. This is truely an honour." Libby said admiring the woman under the cloak.
"Now for the ritual. You shall be given a tattoo to show your toughness." Libbys face turned white.
"T-tatto your ladyship?"
"Yes, you will do it yourself to show your willpower too. Or..."
"Or..?" Libby said with some hope in her voice.
"you share the same fate as Cream." Libbys hope was drained.
"I'll take the needle." she muttered.
"Good girl, the plan's going well. Cream and Amy are taken care of enough to keep them out of the way with everyone suspecting Tails who is now in prison. Shadow is too occupied and disillusioned thanks to is searching for Amy so is too busy to notice anything yet. The only people I'm worried about is Knuckles and Rouge who are only a threat together but I'm sure we could deal with them easily without causing suspision. Blaze and Silver could also be a threat but there new to this world so I'm sure we don't have to worry about them in a hurry. Anyway, to the ritual room..." Libby squeaked as the Lady pulled her through the large doors.
