Chased to another World (By RAWN)
Chapter 10: Goodbye
Sonic couldn`t believe it. Did that guy, Max, really think that he could stop him now?
"No way" he thought with a determined look, and secured the hold on the two little tigers.
He could sense the other crook, Jason, moving closer toward him from behind.
Before the human could reach the chain hanging from the blue creature`s collar, Sonic made his move.
The blue blur bashed his head into Max`s stomach, making the human bend over in pain while trying to catch his breath, and leaving a nice opening above
himself for the hedgehog to jump over. Sonic did not waste the opportunity and swished over, kicked open the wooden front door, and ran away from this place of
sad fates.
When he got out on the road, he saw that the sun was rising.
"Emily should have gotten back to the zoo by now. Probably wonders where I am" he thought and smiled while picking up the pace "Better not let her wait then".
Meanwhile back at the zoo…
"Where could he be? I`ve searched high and low. Maybe he found another way to return home…or maybe something happened to him" Dr. McKinley thought with
concern as she scurried through one of the many paths of the park. She was just about to ask Jed again if he had seen their little friend, when something blue landed
in front of her on the pathway.
"D-did you just jump over that wall?" she stuttered in surprise, before even noticing what he was carrying in his arms "The cubs! You found them!" she gasped.
"Yes, they`re in need of some nutrition though, and eh…they`re kind of making good use of their claws for the moment, so I would be much obliged if you could take
them now" Sonic said with a strained smile and winced when one of the tigers bit him in the arm.
"Oh! Of course, I`ll take them for a check-up right away. Here, let me help" she said and took the boisterous twins by the scruff of their necks, subduing them
instantly. Sonic mentally slapped himself for not remembering to use that simple, and a little bit too familiar, hold on them before his arms had become the two
kittens' personal scratching posts.
"Thanks, and the two jerks, Max and Jason, who stole them live in a shabby white house five and a half kilometers out of town on the east side near the road" he
informed her.
After mentally noting this down and thanking the hedgehog for his efforts, the vet quickly eyed the numerous claw marks covering the hedgehog`s short fawn colored
fur, and raised an eyebrow questioningly "Want me to cleanse them?"
"Appreciate the offer, but `no` thanks, I`m fine, the cubs have more need of your attention than me. Do you know if Jed found that emerald for me?"
"Yes, I believe he found it in Melody`s pond. He`s just over with the lions right now" she answered with a smile, though Sonic could see sadness reflecting through
her eyes.
"Something wrong?" he asked, cocking his head in confusion.
"You`re leaving now, right?" she asked, though the blue one thought it sounded more like a statement than an actual question and hesitated before giving his
answer.
"Well…I guess I am…I`ll never forget you though, and I`ll be sure to stop by if I ever visit this planet again" he promised, before waving goodbye and ran away to
receive the emerald from Jed so he could finally return home.
The End
