Hi guys! Sorry I'm late this time... I don't really have an excuse...
Chapter 6
Tails found his note on the counter, and quickly shoved it in his bag, not wanting to know what would've happened if he'd left it there.
6:02 - Tails had quietly crept up the stairs, wincing every time the steps creeked, threatening to wake the people in his house. The sky outside had turned a soft, baby blue, the golden sun slowly begining to peek above the horizon.
Tails climbed up the attic ladder. Maybe he could squeeze in one more hour of sleep? If he could slip into the world of unconsciousness that was.
Tails finally reached the top of the ladder. He had gone less than 4 hours though. Maybe he sh-
He stopped mid thought when he climbed up into the attic to see...
'Oh no. You're screwed.'
"O-oh h-hi Knuckles..."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tails used to think he could read Sonic like a book. It felt like a slap to the face when he learned that in fact, he couldn't. So when Knuckles had crossed his arms, gave him a hard look and said...
"Tails, what were you doing?"
He was doubting every thought on how the Echidna might be feeling.
"Oh, I just uhm...went to Amy's." Tails avoided eye contact. He knew knuckles could tell he was lying from the way he raised one eye ridge, refusing to stop looking at him so intently Tails was worried he could see into his soul.
"This early?"
Tails nodded quickly. "Ya because she made cakes..."
"So if I call Amy right now she'll confirm this?"
Tails head instantly shot up. Knuckles had a triumphant look on his face. "So what where you reallydoing?" He pressed, leaning forwards.
Tails considered a million lies to get out of it. But, Knuckles had a right to be worried. Tails sighed. "Sonic didn't kill himself."
Normally Knuckles rarely showed emotion on his face, but that got a reaction. Purple eyes widening in shock. "What?"
Tails swallowed. "I know he didn't! I can feel it Knuckles,"
Knuckles put his head in his hands. Tails, listen-"
But Tails was done listening,
Clenching his fists at his sides the fox stood up crossly "The police sometimes get things wrong! It could've been made to look like suicide when it wasn't!"
Knuckles gently rested his hand on Tails shoulder. "I know it's hard to beli-"
"That's exactly what Amy said! We're talking about SONIC here. SONIC. The guy who's avoided death so many times he might as well be invincible!"
"Well death catches up to everyone, you can't just go around trying to prove he's alive without any proof." Knuckles stood up now, much taller than the fox "Face it Tails, Sonic is dead!"
Tails's glare fell. His hands uncurled and hung limply at his sides. Tears filled his eyes as he looked down.
"Tails?"
Sonic is dead.
"Tails?"
Dead K Gone Y gone A dead.
K - Y - A...
Kya.
Kya,
Kay - you - A
Kya.
Kya.
"Tails!"
Tails's head snapped up to see Knuckles frantically apologizing, hands on ether side of his face. "Tails? I-I'm sorry, I just shouted because I don't want you to get hurt, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry."
"Kya."
"Kya? Tails are you feeling okay?"
Then everything clicked. Kya wasn't a name- nononono.
"Kay- you - a."
"What? You mean that shop down the road? Tails? Maybe you should lie down?" Knuckles was steering him towards his bed.
Tails was about to push back but suddenly he felt tiredness hit him like a wave. The last thing he saw was Knuckles's concerned face before darkness swallowed him up once more.
