Another day another treatement.
Her alarm clock ranged and Millie woked up. Her voicemail were overloaded and for once she decided to listen to them or at least empty the box. She touched her phone screen and listened carefully to the three first being the doctor's messages to give her the next appointements date to check on her condition. Then there was one from Shadow. Why would he leave her a message in the first place ?
'' Hello Tails, its Shadow. Everyone is deeply worried about you and are on my back to annoy you because even the Faker can't seems to reach you. Its just a warning i'm gonna come to your place weither you want it or not'' -she looked surprised as she listened to Shadow's message and a shiver ran down her spine. He always freaked her out. Maybe it was his cold side or the fact he wanted to blow the planet and all living being? Or the fact he held on the ghost of his best friends sometimes almost talking to her? Millie got lost in her reflections as a loud noise came from her kitchen surprising her. The young vixen grabbed a baseball bat and walked carefully toward the kitchen asking ''who's there?''. A familiar voice replied on a dry tone '' Do you really expect a rapist or a burglar to reply '' Its your friendly neighboorhood criminal. Want a sandwich?''. It was Shadow the cold black hedgehog was in her kitchen. He did visited her as he warned in the voicemail he left a week ago. Shadow walked toward her and asked :'' what are you gonna do with that bat ? ''.She swallowed her saliva and dropped it on the floor with some tears running of her cheeks. He felt almost guilty to see her like this and noticed that she did not tried to conceal her gender for once. ''Was about time for you to stop hidding ..''. She was surprised , someone did noticed she wasn't Miles but Millie. '' Altough i don't know what your real name is i figured it something close to Miles isn't it?'' . She nodded and crumbled on the floor crying. He did not understand why but sat down next to her.'' Could you tell me why you're hidding from everyone like this?And please tell me the truth for i made an effort to come here by myself.''-. He was serious and was giving her a stern gaze. Millie leaned at his shoulder and told him the truth. She had a disease that would be fatal sooner or later. The kind that could not be cured. Only treated and slowed down. She had another treatement and had to run. As soon as she stood up to run outside. Shadow grabbed her wrist and shouted '' Chaos Control''. Both landed on the hospital yard and she thanked him with a faint smile and entered what seemed to her like an artificial hell. Sick people around. Most of them decaying with the same ''condition'' as she called it. They repeated the process, first the radiations with the noisy machines and then later at home the chemo pills. For once as she walked in her bathroom she threw the hoodie away and untied her hair which fell on her shoulders. Looking at her reflections she tought it was maybe time to feel beautiful and good. She was maybe affected by this disease it didn't mean she had to decay like the others. She could at least try to enjoy what she had left.
The vixen walked to her room and looked into her drawers for a top that would be different. A red corset like top. Laced with black and purple. That would be fine. Millie grabbed the eyeliner and traced fine lines around her eyes. Slowly but surely , Miles disapeared as Millie came out. A deep red lipstick then a fine black line as the finishing touch. The vixen was transforming herself into a woman instead of a young nerd. She braided her hair on both sides of her head and left her fringe falling over her cheek. The lady had enough of hidding slowly letter herself go. She even smiled at her reflections in the mirror on the opposite wall. She grabbed a pair of black shorts and some combat boots. Good thing Rouge and the girls left all those garments at her place. They all tought ''Tails'' was not interested into anyone and would simple never use his room. As he was always in his lab. Tonight was a different night for her. She would come out as a girl and also. She would enjoy it. Whatever they would say. It would be an interesting night. Before walking outside she grabbed a black velvet cloack. It was definately the perfect finishing touch for a dark princess look. That and the velvet chocker with a brass coffing hanging from it.
