Chased to another World (By RAWN)
Chapter 8: Who`s Catching Who?
Sonic watched the two approaching men perfectly at ease. The bulky one of them was wielding a catch pole and the other was fumbling with a net.
"It would be absolutely embarrassing to let myself get caught `that` easily" he thought with a confident smirk.
He had figured out that letting them capture him would be the easiest way to find the tiger cubs.
"Nice hedgehog, don`t move, we`re not gonna harm you" the lean one said soothingly, though Sonic was quite convinced that he wouldn`t have fooled a two-year
old.
The cerulean hedgehog strongly resented letting these clowns capture him, but who said he had to come quietly?
He observed them getting closer, slowly blocking him from both sides, still he hadn`t moved a muscle.
Almost as if in slow motion, he saw the catch pole moving toward his head to strangle him while the net was slowly descending on him, but before either could hit
their target, he was gone.
"Where`d it go?" the lean one asked dumbfounded.
"I don`t know. Didn`t even see it move" was the stunned reply.
"Hey guys. Looking for me?" a teasing voice called from behind.
Both men whipped their heads around to see the blue creature standing on top of an ice-cream cart, waving enthusiastically at them with a gloved hand.
The lean man loaded the tranquilizer gun without taking his eyes of the blue target, took aim and fired.
Sonic sidestepped the red dart, letting it swish straight past him only a millimeter from his shoulder.
"Aww, you missed me. Better luck next time"
Another dart was shot and cleverly dodged.
"Missed again, you sure you don`t need glasses?"
The human gave up "Damn! It`s moving too fast" he spat, before turning to his accomplice and started a whispered conversation.
"Trying to outsmart me huh? Well, maybe I should let them, or this will take all night" he thought with a small yawn. He hadn`t slept since arriving to this world,
chaos controlling wasn`t exactly effortless either, so he simply lay down on his back on the cart roof with his arms draped behind his head as a pillow and relaxed. He
closed his eyes, but his ears were still on high alert, waiting for the two men to make their next move. Just because he wanted to be captured, didn`t mean he
wanted to get caught completely off guard.
It didn`t take long before his ears picked up the sound of someone sneaking up on him, and for the second time he witnessed a net being thrown at him, but this
time he didn`t bother to move, and the net hit its target.
Suddenly he felt a sting at his left thigh.
He looked down through the thin but strong threads of the net in slight surprise, discovering a dart.
"That wasn`t part of the plan! Oh well, I could use some shut-eye…" he thought before quickly drifting off from the strong sedative to the cheers of the two
kidnappers.
