A/N: Hi people, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Last chapter was a little rushed, so I'll try to make it up to you guys in this one. Hope you enjoy it =

Sonic's POV

Well, it's been three days since I woke up in this place and as far as I can see, there are no windows, except for the one on the door and no one ever passes through. In all honesty, it's getting creepy not hearing anything other than myself.

And the only place I have laid my eyes on all this time is this room, and I'm going crazy. It's silent and so uneventful, I'm starting to think Eggman just wanted me insane. My legs have been itching to go on a run and, trust me, this room isn't good for running. I already tried.

But beside to insane boredom, the itch to run and the creepy silence, the place is alright. It was like a simple bedroom. There was a bed at the corner of the room with a drawer right nest to it. There was a table and a chair, with food and water always on the top. I've been following my instincts and haven't even touched the food and only drank the water to prevent dehydration. Then there was a door leading to the bathroom, with a tub, sink and a toilet. So basically the room is very simple. Like Eggman wanted me to be comfortable, but I know better than to let my guard down.

But there are some weird things about this place as well. For starters, there was this vent at my bedside. All I have to do is stand on the bed and I'll be levelled with it, but it's almost like he wants me to escape for whatever reason he has. And then, the food is always getting replaced. I try to stay awake long enough for the door to open, so I can have a chance to escape but I always fall asleep and when I wake up.. always new food on the table

To my disappointment, Egghead hasn't ordered any of his scrapbots to come and fetch me yet. So, I don't even know the layout of this place, not to talk of actually having a plan to escape. And for all I know he might be scheming to attack everyone and I'll just be here, feeling and being useless. Gosh, he could even be attacking right now and I wouldn't know. This is so frustrating to think about.

And not only is it annoying and creepy to be here with absolutely nothing happening... it's also kinda lonely being here. I thought they would have already 'pinpointed' my location like Tails would have said and.. gotten me... out of here already. Tails... Amy and everyone else, I wonder how they're doing.

Tails' POV

"Excuse me, but could you let go of me, please?" I asked, wondering why someone would just grab my arm. People always seem to like grabbing my arm, huh. I looked up to see that the person was taller than me, possibly Sonic's age and that made me nervous.

The person just continued to stare and said "I heard your 'brother', Sonic, is dead," Okay, that's not how to start a conversation. He started smiling deviously and that made chills run up my spine. He reminded me of someone. It was a monkey with yellow gloves and socks with white shoes. I replied nervously "Uh, yeah, um. He's not dead though, he's just missing" I tried tugging my arm away but he gripped tighter, making me gulp.

"Y'know, when people say that, there are just in denial. Not wanting to accept the fact that one of their closest friends are gone. Well, suck it up, cause he's gone and never coming back" He said smirking, I know what he was doing. Many did this to me before I met Sonic. When they'd break my machines and taunt me, saying I should give up. I know what he was doing, but that didn't make it any less painful.

"T-that's not true, there's n-not proof of him being dead a-and-" "But there's no proof of him being alive, is there?" He said, smirk only broadening. The image of Sonic's pale eyes...Tails.. My breath hitched and I looked at the ground and said lowly "Let go of me" "What if I don't? What are you going to do? No more 'big brother ' to save you now is there?" He said starting to grin, I felt sick all of a sudden.

I looked up at the sky, tears bubbling in my eyes as I took in a shaky breath. It was getting late and my arm was starting to feel sore by the way he was gripping it. "Let me go.. now" Deja Vu was hitting me too hard now, and I was so surprised nobody noticed what was going. I suddenly remembered...his eyes...the hitting...LET ME GOOOOOOO. The first few tears slipped from my eyes and I heard the monkey snicker. I gritted my teeth and looked away. 'Why am I so weak' He threw my arm away and smirked, then he walked past me, bumping shoulders with me. He glanced at me from over his shoulder, still grinning, and said "He's not coming back, forget it" and he disappeared into the crowd.

My bangs covered my eyes as thick tears flowed down and left trails on my face. I turned the opposite direction and started walking, still holding the groceries in my hand. 'So weak, just murmured a few words and started crying' The voice was back. I sighed and sniffled as I walked further away from home.

"TAILS!" I heard my name from a voice so familiar but I just continued walking. "Tails, come on" The voice was right behind me and then someone grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. I just sniffled. "Oh Tails, what happened?" It was just Rouge, I sighed in relief and was about to talk but my voice hitched. "Hun?" Rouge became more worried. I just started crying again, my shoulders shaking and tears started pouring from my eyes again. I just shook my head and she gasped and pulled me in for a hug, "Oh, please don't cry. What happened" She looked even more worried. Look what you did, just causing trouble everywhere you go. I hiccuped and shook my head, she held me tighter.

"Shadow and Amy called. They were both worried about you and told me to look for you since I was around this area... Tails..." She sighed. You even went ahead and made Shadow and Amy worry as well. I started getting irritated and growled at the voice. Rouge's eyes widened in surprise and asked "Tails?". I just sniffled and shook my head again. She got the point that I didn't want to talk and started guiding me home, still... looking... worried.

Sonic's POV

I finally came up with a plan that could actually help me certify for sure if someone was really coming into my room cause I'm sure the food keeps changing.

If they always come in when I'm asleep, they must have something like a tiny camera to be able to know that.

I placed my head on my pillow and started getting comfortable. I'll pretend to fall asleep and wait for them to open the door and replace the food. I closed my eyes and began to try to even out my breath.

I began to wait and wait...

A few minutes later

I sighed as I slowly began to move my body parts again. 'This isn't going to work' I thought to myself with a sigh. I was about to lift myself up when I heard a buzz from the door. I squinted my eyes and saw the door swung open. There was a sound from outside, and then a badnik, which had been modified to a nanny, made it's way in. I continued to pretend to sleep as the robot started exchanging the empty bottles with refilled ones. It also exchanged my food with a steak and some vegetables on the side.

And when I thought it was about to leave again, it opened a compartment around it's hand and brought out a powder like substance. It then proceeded to rub it on the surface of the steak. I almost gasped as my eyes widened, thank Chaos I trusted my instincts. I quickly went back to squinting my eyes before it noticed. Once it was done, it went back out the door and it swung back shut and a buzz sound coming afterwards.

I stayed still for a few more seconds to really make sure it was gone and widened my eyes again. I threw my legs to the side of the bed and got up on my feet. I walked over to the table and stared at the food for a while. 'At least it's just on the surface', I thought to myself as I turned the steak over. I noticed the steak had more colour at the bottom than the drugged part.

I got the knife at the side and shrugged. 'Here goes nothing' I thought to myself as I started to cut the bottom from the top and ate from the bottom part. It didn't taste weird, but that didn't mean I'd just let my guard down. 'I'll wait for a few minutes. If I start feeling weird, I won't touch the food again...and might probably puke but whatever'. I sighed as I went back to the bed and sat on it.

A few moments later

I surprisingly didn't feel like puking and decided to eat the entire bottom of the steak. Once I was done, I drank some water and went back to the bed and laid down. 'Eggman will probably notice that I know not to eat the top of the food but who cares?' I smirked to myself as I got comfy on the bed, 'At least I got some food in my body now' I thought to myself satisfied as I closed my eyes to actually rest.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry if my writing patterns are weird, changing, rushed or just plain confusing. Still trying to get used to writing =. I'm also sorry that I take so long to post, I made this 2k chapter to make up for it. Sorry if it's not much, but I'm really trying and school isn't helping at all. Anyway, I'll try to update faster and get my writing patterns straight. Sorry for the long author's note. Thx for reading.
