"Wonder if she's gonna make it…"
"Of course she is, don't be ridiculous."
"Well the babe hasn't been moving…a few days…"
"There's this term called 'sleeping' perhaps you've heard of it?"
"Shut it, punk."
"Now why would I have that inclination?"
"Why you little-"
I grimaced as I heard soft whispers begin to turn into raised voices, my eyes burned as I opened then but I still forced myself to see who and what was in my room. Turning my head to the side I saw a green thing and a yellow fox standing beside the bed I was in and they were arguing…loudly. I sat there for a minute trying to hold back the shriek that tickled my throat as I stared at the two creatures when the green thing finally turned to me.
"Look who's up." He said taking a step toward me, instinctively I crawled back from him.
"Keep away from me you ….you …" I stuttered as I stared at him, but he looked un-fazed as he continued towards me and sitting on the bed.
"I said stay away from me!" I shouted as I got closer and closer to the edge of the bed as he still moved towards me.
"Babe, this isn't the time to play games…although if that's what you want then-" He said with a slow smirk , that sent me over the edge…literally. I fell off the bed with a short shriek as I tumbled onto the hardwood floors wrapped in the comforters. I sat up with my blond hair wrapped around my neck and cascading down my back.
" I said stop it!" I pleaded as the green thing just leaned over the bed and looked at me. It was then I realized something…it was completely silent in the room.
"Help!" I shouted but there was still no sound.
"Somebody! Help!" I shouted but I couldn't hear myself…or that I couldn't speak. Instantly I jumped to my in a panic. No! No! I couldn't have lost my voice! I couldn't have!
"Scourge keep away from her, you knew that she hasn't seen our true forms yet." The yellow fox said as he walked around the bed and stared at me.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." The green thing said as he slid off the bed and looked at me too. True forms? What the heck were they talking about? Then I noticed the shock of grey hair on the fox and the familiar blue eyes.
"Miles?" I said but once again no words came out. The yellow fox took a slow step towards me and for a second I thought he smiled.
"Yes, I'm Miles. That green monstrosity is Spencer but his actual name is Scourge." Miles said as everything clicked together, the green hair, the jacket. It was Spencer, but there was still one problem left.
"I can't talk!" I said as I tapped my throat and once again I made no sound what so ever. However both boys gave me confused looks, with a sigh I touched my lips with my fingertips then held them out like I was blowing a kiss although I meant it as words coming out.
"Heh why didn't ya say so, babe?" Scourge chuckled as his arms suddenly wrapped around my waist and then it was déjà vu all over again. He kissed me and I pushed him back and luckily I had help this time, Miles yanked him away and moved him across the room but only after I was able to slap him again.
"Grrr! What's that for!" Scourge growled as I sent him a glare but it was nothing compared to Miles's face.
"She's trying to say she can't speak, imbecile! Have you no knowledge of sign language or competence!" Miles growled back as he stood beside me, Scourge just shrugged with a cruel smirk on his face.
"Ya can't blame me if I thought she wanted me kiss her, after all I do get requests every other day of the week." Scourge chuckled while I tried not to gag.
"I'm going to imagine you're not here. Celine. It appears something went wrong with the experiment, I suggest you follow me down to the lab." Mile said as he then turned to me, I bit my lower lip then nodded in agreement. How was I supposed to sing without a voice? Miles quickly moved to the door and exited the room with me right behind him but I didn't make it to the door. I was pressed against the wall beside the door and icy blue eyes were looking into mine.
"Look babe, I'm sorry for freaking ya out like that." He said as he leaned closer to me, I panicked and shoved him away then ran after Miles. Scourge was beginning to give me the creeps. Miles glanced back at my flustered expression then simply continued forwards, it wasn't long till I heard the rhythmic footsteps of Scourge behind me. Luckily it wasn't long either to get to the lab, Dr. Finitevus stood in front of a desk with his cape hanging limply behind him.
" I was curious as to when you'd appear." He said without even turning to us, I stayed back still a little shaken from my last encounter with the echidna.
"Yes well the accomplishment can't be celebrated quite yet, since it appears she lost her voice." Mile said stepping closer to Finitevus as he began to finally turn to us. He had a clear crystal in his hand with a swirling blue aura inside the crystal.
"Oh I already know that." He said as he held up the crystal allowing it to glittering the small patches of sunlight that forced its way into the room. The castle need work…badly. Holes, collapsing walls, rats, cobwebs and everything a crumbling house would have…and more.
"Ya do?" Scourge asked surprise echoing in his voice while Finitevus simply smirked.
"Why of course. In fact I have it here with me." He said then motioned to the crystal in his hands
"That's my voice?" I said and low and behold I could hear it from within the crystal itself. It sounded like me and yet it didn't. The voice was more clear, strong and little bit more…angelic? Finitevus nodded while I stared in awe then fear.
"How do I get it back?" I said as my strange voice came from with in the crystal. Scourge and Mile both looked equally surprised but more Scourge than Miles. Miles looked curious but in shock.
"To get it back you must sing it back to you. While you were unconscious I took the liberty of using a spell to alter your voice, nothing drastic, but to make it more… powerful I suppose would be the word." Finitevus said as moved farther away from me, I was confused. Sing what? Why was he moving away from me if he had the crystal with my voice in hand.
"I don't understand. What am I supposed to sing?" I asked as my voice appeared across the room with Finitevus, he stared at me with his eyes narrowing.
"Close your eyes and listen. A song will come to mind then all you have to do is sing the lyrics to it. How difficult can that be?" He growled as I took a step back nodding, I looked over to Scourge to see him leaning against the wall with a smile on his face. He winked and gave me a thumbs up, my stomach churned then I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I heard nothing. Just the sound of the breeze blowing through the holes in the walls and the sound of mice. I opened my mouth to say that there was no song, when I heard a soft note. Again and again it continued…then I realized that I knew it. It was one of my mom's favorites and mine too… Instantly the words came to mind and those words soon came out of my mouth.
Quando sono sola
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
si lo so che non c'è luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole,
se non ci sei tu con me, con me.
Su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai accesso,
chiudi dentro me
la luce che
hai incontrato per strada.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso sì li vivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
it's time to say goodbye.
Quando sei lontana
sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole,
e io si lo so
che sei con me, con me,
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me,
mio sole tu sei qui con me,
con me, con me, con me.
Time to say goodbye.
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te,
adesso sì li vivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
I felt this strange energy around me, it was almost playful, it would brush against me like a playful puppy then it would swirl around me
con te io li rivivrò.
Con te partirò
su navi per mari
che, io lo so,
no, no, non esistono più,
con te io li rivivrò.
Con te partirò
As I sang those last few lyrics, the playful energy turned into something huge, powerful and a bit more fierce. I opened my eyes at the last moment to see huge trails of golden energy surrounding me and it was coming from the crystal. As I sang that last note the energy rushed into me, it was frightening, and yet it was exhilarating. Then it disappeared in an instant. I took a breath, I didn't know why but I felt like I couldn't entirely breath right. Like there was something heavy within me, but a few moments passed and the heaviness disappeared.
"What was that?" I said then realized that I said it and that Finitevus no longer had the crystal, instead it was cradled in my palm but had a silver chain attached to it. I slid it into my pocket before I could lose it in the huge desolet castle.
"That would be Chaos energy. Since the Chaos Energy is fused with you, naturally it would be fused with your voice and as I said before I made a few adjustments. Now I must return to study the recordings of what happened. I'm sure the boys will take you where you may want, but I expect utter silence. Is that clear?" He said giving Scourge a cruel glare, Scourge acted like he didn't even see him as he strolled over to me.
"Come on babe, I'll give ya a tour of the whole castle." He said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder pulling me close to him, I was about to push him away when that familiar stomach churning returned and my heart began to pound
"That's assuming that you know your way around the castle. Celine if you come with me then I can give you a proper tour of the castle without getting us lost. Although I suggest our first place of intrigue be the kitchens." He said as my stomach made a low rumbling, I flushed then nodded forgetting I had my voice back. If only I had known that taking the both of them with me would only lead to arguing the whole time…
