No Brotherly Love
Chapter 12: Inside My Head
Sonics POV:
I stared at the horror before me in utter shock. I could see thousands of people herded together like sheep. Around me were uncontrollable flames and the strange liquid was everywhere. The first thing that popped into my mind was to ask what was going on.
I saw someone crouching with their head in their hands. I walked towards them and placed my hand on their shoulder and asked, "What's going on here?" They didn't change their position, but they did respond to my question, "Not me. Won't get me. No, no, no. Mustn't listen. Mustn't let them in."
"Mustn't let who in?" I asked. "The monsters, they're here in my head, but I-I-I'm…" He stuttered.
"You're what?" I asked kneeling beside them. They turned around and I could see the liquid dripping from their eyes, mouth and nose. "I-I don't know. H-Help m-m-me p-p-p-please." They reached their hand to me. I was about to accept it until they clawed at me. I pulled back and they shouted, "FEED ME!" I looked up and all the others were staring at me looking like they wanted my eyes on some toast.
'Oh crap.' I thought to myself, panicking. They all began to snarl, saliva dripping from their mouths, at least, I think it was saliva. They all started to walk towards me. I tucked at my gloves and then got into a fighting stance. They all charged at me like raving lunatics. I charged at them as well and we got into one hell of a brawl. They were all around me, like crows on a corpse. I did my best to fight them off, but it wasn't enough. I right hooked one in the jaw, easily dislocating it. But after that last attempt, I was thrown to the ground and they were all over me.
I squirmed under them, trying to get free. But it was useless. 'Great! The elevator didn't kill me, but instead I'm zombie chow! This really isn't my day!' I thought frantically.
Just as it seemed like it was all over, they froze and slowly, but surely, pulled away. I scrambled to my feet and looked around. They were all looking behind me. Suddenly, there was an ear piercing scream from behind me. I turned to face it and saw nothing. 'What the h-?'
Before I could finish the thought, I was knocked onto my back by some sort of earthquake. I looked up once more and saw a fifteen foot gargantuan monster. In its hands was one of the shadows. The huge monster placed one hand on the shadows feet and the other on its hands, then, without warning, it pulled. The shadow screamed before literally being torn in half. The liquid, which replaced its blood, sprayed everywhere, some inside my mouth.
I coughed up the liquid and looked up at the creature. "Guess it's just one of those days." I said aloud. Not a second later, the giant monstrosity leaned forward and gave off a thunderous battle cry in my face, its saliva landing all over me."Poo-ee! Dude, get a breath mint." I said while placing two fingers on my nose. It gave out a deep growl. "What? You think just 'coz you're big, you can eat me up just like that? Sorry pal, but I don't think spikes are good for your health. They could puncture something."
But this time, the beast did nothing, instead it looked behind me. 'Man, what isn't behind me today?' I asked myself sarcastically. I turned around once more and above the horde of brain dead lunatics was a black flame. I stared in awe as the flame lowered itself until it was in front of me. The flame then took the form of a demonic hedgehog. His muzzle, feet, chest, finger tips and the end of his spines could be seen through, and looked like thick ice. He had no nose or mouth. His eyes were pale and had no pupils. The fur, no, that is incorrect, what should have been fur seemed like ash and was as black as burnt wood.
He leaned his head to the side and then back again. He started to slowly walk towards me. But as he did, my vision blurred and I began to feel light headed. I suddenly collapsed to my knees and once the strange being was before me, he grabbed my chin and made me look up into his eyes. He moved my head side to side, and without another second he struck me across the face and I landed on my side. Slowly, everything faded to black and as I slipped into unconsciousness, I heard a faint whisper say, "Sonic."
I recognized the voice and replied slowly, "Amy."
