Chapter 55

The Ring From The Lake

Sonic didn't want to believe this was happening. He ran into the forest just outside the city and appeared near a small pool. He kneeled beside it as tears fell from his eyes.

"I don't want to be the one to kill him. I can save him ... like last time. Just get a power ring and wish," Sonic told himself, determined.

He waited at the ring pool, waiting for any signs of the golden glow that a ring will appear.

"Please, I need this now more than ever. If this doesn't work … how can I keep fighting this curse," Sonic said, looking down. He felt as if he should give up, but yet he shouldn't. He still had his Mother and Uncle Chuck unlike Sonic-Wolf, he only had Sally left. Sonic had more. "I've gotta stay positive. This will work. It did last time, so it will again."

Sonic waited for another half an hour until he saw the glow and stood up. The water rippled like currents and waves were pulling it upwards until the ring was pulled up out of the water. Sonic jumped on a log nearby and grabbed the ring and looked at it with a small smile.

"You'll help me right. I just gotta stay positive and wish for Dad to stay alive," Sonic said to the ring as he hugged it. "Please, make it work."

Sonic put the ring in his quills and ran back toward the hospital. He knew his Dad would still be in the morgue. He just needed one chance. One chance to wish for him to be alive again and it'll be done.

Sonic arrived at the hospital and ran inside and into the morgue where Uncle Chuck and Dr Quack were just about to move Jules. Sonic saw this and stared in horror.

"Wh…What are you doing?" Sonic asked, shocked, eyes widened.

Dr Quack looked up at Sonic along with Uncle Chuck. Dr Quack sighed. "We're moving him into one of the placements. He's been examined and now we're moving him into one of the drawers."

Sonic kept staring at them in shock, until he shook his head and frowned. "No, this can't happen! I can't be the one to kill him!"

Uncle Chuck looked to his nephew in concern and walked over to him, "Sonic, you weren't in control therefore it isn't your fault."

Sonic shook his head. "I Still Won't Be The One That Killed Him!" Sonic yelled, tears were at the edges of his eyes and Uncle Chuck put a comforting hand on his nephew's shoulder, but was shoved off. Sonic walked over to his Father's body as tears fell from his eyes.

"Sonic, I'm sorry, but there is nothing we or you can do to bring him back," Dr Quack told the young hedgehog, sorrow in his voice.

"You may not be able to. But I might," Sonic said as he put a hand into his quills and brought out the power ring he took from the lake only a few minutes before.

Dr Quack sighed and shook his head. "Sonic, just because it worked once before doesn't mean it will a second time."

Sonic looked at Dr Quack and then at the ring a tear fell from Sonic's eye onto the ring. "I have to at least try, doc."

Dr Quack sighed in irritation and Uncle Chuck nodded at the duck. "Let him do it. As Sonic said, 'it's worth a try'."

"Fine, but if it doesn't work we will have to move Jules into one of the drawers, " Dr Quack sighed.

Sonic sighed and nodded his head. He lifted the ring up above his Father's chest where the dent was and wished for him to be brought back to life. He wished like there was no tomorrow of wanting his Dad back. He wished for his Dad to come back and that his life force would still be the same. He wished as much as he possibly could until the light faded and Sonic glanced down at his Father and gasped in shock.

PLEASE READ MY AUTHOR NOTES! It's to let you know why I haven't updated and so forth.

Anways, YAYAZ! I updated! And a cliffhanger too. I know me and cliffhangers. Whoopdedoo. But the reason I haven't updated is because of school work and MAJOR writers block, but I'm on holidays now so I get more time ... maybe. I was gonna update 'Nightmare From The Past' along with this, but my writers block wouldn't allow it, so yea. It's nearly finished just gotta add the fight scene. You're probably wondering why would there be a fight scene in that chap with Amy. You'll just have to wait and see UNTIL THIS DAMN WRITERS BLOCK LEAVES ON THAT STORY!

Anyways, please tell me what you're thinking of my story so far and yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm the kinda author that wants that kinda reviews not 'UPDATE NOW! HURRY!' and all that. I say I'm on writers block, so please give me a break from that and tell how well I'm going with the plot and maybe if I have a cover art up tell me how that looks too. An upcoming artist and author needs to know how good their work is not just to continue writing. Please, understand.

VFMH OUT!
