Chased to another World (By RAWN)
Chapter 3: Please Help Me
The tiger had not given up. The reason for the feline to stop searching was simply that it had found what it was looking for, namely something unprotected to let
its teeth sink in to, and that `something` happened be Sonic`s tail…
"Ow! Hey! Let go of me" he yelped in a painful surprise.
Startled by the sudden noise, the predator let go of the hedgehog`s appendage.
He reflexively uncurled and suddenly found himself face to face with the tiger, only an inch between their noses.
What the huge cat did next though, took him completely by surprise.
The larger animal carefully nuzzled its face into his left cheek and licked.
Sonic froze in place "Wha…is it apologizing?" was all he could think.
Early next morning…
The tiger was still sleeping.
Sonic, on the other hand, had not dared to close his eyes all night in fear of getting eaten in his sleep.
A strong heavy paw had held him possessively in place like he was some kind of teddy bear, and still did.
All attempts of pushing the paw away from his waist had turned futile.
First, of course, he had thought of simply chaos controlling out of this situation, but he must have dropped the emerald someplace in this cage when he arrived.
He could definitely feel the gems presence, but wherever it were, he couldn`t see it.
His right ear flicked to the side followed, shortly after, by the rest of his head.
Was that whistling he heard?
"Hello? If you can hear me, please help me out of here!"
The human that came to feed the tiger almost lost the bucket with meat he was carrying and his jaw dropped.
"Are you for real?" the young man asked him in disbelief.
"Not for long if I don`t get out of here" was the worried reply from the blue Mobian.
His answer seemed to snap the human out of his trance "Right! Don`t worry! I`ll get you out! Just don`t move!"
Sonic couldn`t help but rolling his eyes at that last part, since it was quite obvious that he were stuck where he was.
The human opened a door into the enclosure and, to Sonic`s amazement, walked straight toward them.
Sonic was just about to ask if the human was crazy, when the other just petted the tiger`s head.
"Wake up Melody, I`ve brought you breakfast" he said soothingly.
The cat`s ears twitched at that, and eyes opened.
The great animal raised herself up on stiff legs, which released a certain hedgehog, yawned loudly and stretched her legs.
Sonic was out of the tiger`s den before the yawning part.
After emptying the bucket, the human followed him out and locked the door.
"Thanks buddy, I owe you one" the blue hedgehog said with a grateful smile.
"Don`t mention it, and the name`s Jed. Could you please tell me who you are" Jed asked curiously while returning the smile.
Sonic proudly delivered one of his favorite lines by introducing himself, before adding somewhat embarrassed "Do you know a doctor? Your tiger kind of bit my
tail…"
