𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐖𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓 𝐀𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐀𝐑𝐌, the ground was injuring you, leaving scraps and little cuts and you cried out in pain as you felt your head pounding.

where were you? what happened? who was dragging you? where was sonic? where was longclaw?

those questions repeated again and again in your mind

and then it became clear.

you remembered everything, the tribes attacking you, longclaw trying to save you and sonic, you falling down.

and then that was it.

you cried, why shouldn't you? you were a kid, a child.

and even if you didn't know exactly what they were gonna do to you you know that it could only be bad.

you closed your eyes as the pain became too much, and the darkness took you in.

had it always been that comforting to be in the dark?

***

"i'm gonna ask you one last time, where's is that blue hedgehog?" the masked face was at centimetres from yours.

when you had woke up you had quickly found out that you were trapped, ropes strongly blocking you on a chair.

and then the torture began.

they wanted to know about sonic, longclaw had always told you that people would've wanted his power but neither of you thought that they would've been so cruel.

torturing a kid for information that it didn't have.

you tried to tell them that you didn't know, that you passed out on the ground seeing them fly away and that was it.

easy to say they didn't believed you.

how could they not understand that a kid wouldn't lie under torture?

they spent months trying to get something out of you before they realised that you weren't lying.

when that happened their goal changed, not longer did they wanted to break you, they wanted to reform you.

"she's powerful, we can make her one of us" that's what she had said.

that's why the next years of your life you were strained to an hard schedule, a training that felt like a torture, and a shitty life that you had never asked for.

you were an hothead, everyone of them knew it.

all the things that they did to you only making your attitude stronger.

but it didn't stopped them from trying and succeeding on making you one of them.

they held you captive for years but you didn't break.

never.

but everyone has it's limit.

that's why one day, you decided that you've had enough.

when the guards came to your room to took you to training you putted them down in seconds.

you ran out from their grasp, not looking back, everyone and everything that tried to stop you was on the ground in seconds.

you were fast, you were trained.

you ran and ran your heart beating out of your chest.

finally you arrived at the door, you threw a granate and everything exploded.

the noise made your ears go numb but it didn't stop you from going where you wanted.

you felt like throwing up as you ran on the grass, looking at the forest ahead of you.

it was there, your freedom.

and then suddenly everything disappeared.

you found yourself running into a big room, everything grey, guards everywhere.

"wha-what?" you looked around, everyone was pointing their gun at you.

"oh sweetheart... did you really believed that?"

the voice was from behind you but you didn't need to turn around to tell who it was.

but you did it anyways, still not believing what had happened.

you found yourself looking at her figure as she walked towards you.

but you didn't met her eyes, you couldn't.

"it was just an illusion" she stopped in front of you to look you up and down "the final test to welcome you in our group, let's say 'a little game'"

she chuckled to herself as your expression didn't change, you felt numb.

how did it happened? when did it happened?

you moved your gaze towards the ground seeing her boots as she circled you.

"did you have fun? did you get everything out of your system?"

she didn't gave you time to respond as you fell down of exhaustion , or maybe it was because of the sleepy dart that they had shoot into your back.

"good good, everyone is so releaved" she observed you as you fell to the ground, your eyes closing as a sense of deja-vu overtook you.

"welcome home [name]..."

"they, tortured you?"

sonic's voice brought you back from your daydream and you let out a sigh of relief as you realised that you weren't in that cruel world but in his cave.

the dark of the night could be seen from the hole over your heads.

"yeah..."

"but- but you escaped right?" he asked as he fidgeted in front of you.

"i'm here..." you replayed looking at him like it was obvious, which it actually was.

"no,yes, i mean-" he took a deep breath to calm himself before finally connecting his mouth to his brain "how and when?"

he looked up, proud of himself for figuring out how to talk.

"don't know, everything is fuzzy" you got up from his hammock going towards your bag, your replay was dry and sonic figured that your past was still a fresh scar.

you took the bag from the ground taking out the yellow tracker.

"the only things i can really remember are the last two years, i had a friend who helped me survive" you threw him the tracker and it activated, tails' voice came out of it and it scared sonic as he almost made it fall.

"alright, this is day three of talking to future you, which is actually the present for you but can also be past.." silence filled the room for a couple seconds before he shouted in the microphone "you're omniscient!"

you chuckled at that, sonic's eyes shooting up towards you.

"he's just a kid" sonic moved to the side letting you seat near him on the ground against the walls.

"anyways, hope you're all good and in one piece..." the sounds of metal hitting metal could be heard coming out from the box and you quickly got to the conclusion that he had been working on something.

you and sonic were in a comfortable silence as you listened to the registration.

"who am i kidding, you're [name]! i'm more worried about the other guy than you"

gosh why did everything about that little fox made you feel like that? your senses were full of him.

you looked ahead at the wall on the other side as you focused on the sound of his voice.

sonic moved his eyes on you, you looked different from years ago but he didn't expect any less.

he could feel that you were still the same, he thought of you as a glass.

it was pushed down and it broke on the ground, but then someone took the pieces and they put it back together, the glass was the same as before, just ...cracked.

he looked down to your hand and slowly he moved his own towards yours.

was it too fast? probably

but sonic wasn't known for going slow.

he was about to touch your pinky with his own before he stopped as he realised.

did you even want that type of comfort? how could he knew if it was gonna bring you more distress or if it was gonna actually help?

he was waiting for his brain to come out with an answer before he felt your own hand grabbing his.

a happy laugh coming out from the device on his lap.

you didn't move, still looking ahead almost as you were in a trance.

but for sonic it was okay, everything was okay.

so he looked up at the sky thanks to the hole of the cave as he thought about what to do next.

his fingers caressing your hand as the kid's voice echoed around you

yeah, that was okay.
