Everything Is Black #5

Chapter 5 – Stupid Rodent

Alice's POV

Kayla was kidnapped again! And who the hell do I have to thank for that. Of course it would be the stupid little blue rodent!

"You idiot! Why did you let them escape like that! Huh!"

I shout at the little rodent call, 'Sonic' while speed walking right up to his face, if only he was a couple feet taller, that is.

"I could have saved Kayla if it wasn't for your stupid and arrogant entrance!"

Sonic flinched as the volume of my voice continued to rise, and my glare became more intense and uncontrollably fierce, despite the fact that my eyes are hidden by my bangs.

"Kayla could be dying or dead for all I know now!"

All of my energy and angry suddenly sputtered out of my body like a deflating balloon, and I slid onto all fours exhausted. I had only enough strength just to keep myself from crying.

"Hey are you-"

"SONIKKU!"

I looked up to see a pink hedgehog tackling the annoying blue hedgehog.

"I missed you so much!"

She said squeezing him to death.

"Amy…Air…"

Sonic pleaded struggling for air.

"Opps, sorry."

The hedgehog called 'Amy' loosed her grip enough for blue spiky animal to slip from her grasp. Then a yellow fox with twin tails flew towards the two hedgehogs,

"Sonic, what happened here?"

"Eggman escaped with a human girl."

I started to scoot away further and further away as they were talking.

"I wonder what Eggman was doing with a human girl?"

Asked the fox with his hand under his chin thinking in pondering pose. The exit almost in my reach until that stupid, retarded blue hedgehog suddenly appeared in front of the exit.

"Where are you going?"

Glaring at the cobalt blue hedgehog, I got onto my feet and looked down at him.

"I'm going to find my friend and save her from that maniac of a scientist, without your help."

I put a lot of emphasis on the 'without' just to make sure he understood where I was getting at. Sending another icy glare his way, I walked around him with ease and without turning back.

"Why don't you express your true feels?"

Pausing momentarily with my back still turned to him and answered the question, giving the rodent an emotionless answer.

"I stopped feeling anything a long time ago."

My figure disappeared from their sights while walking towards the direction to where Kayla was taken to.

'Don't worry Kayla, I will get you back, no matter what happens to me.'

With a lot of effort, my lead heavy legs continually kept moving for 30 minutes until my body finally reached its limit.

'Shit… can't move my body…'

My energy was so used up that I fainted while laying against a tree.

'Kayla…'

Sonic's POV

"I stopped feeling anything a long time ago."

That simple statement was so empty, cold, and unexpected that it left me speechless and paralyzed as she disappeared.

'Never thought I'd meet someone, so lifeless…'

There was an awkward silence in the abandoned laboratory, while everyone in the room was pondering the situation.

"Sonic did you know who that was?"

Tails asked, breaking the silence. I just turned to him and shrugged.

"I remember seeing her unconscious on one of the Eggbots when we were searching for you."

Tails stated, still trying to make some sense of everything.

"But now you're here there's nothing to worry about Sonikku!"

Amy squealed, wrapping her arms around my neck. Like second nature, or a force of habit, I tried, in vain, to shove her off of me, but she had a strong grasp on my neck.

"Amy, I think that she needs our help to save her friend from Eggman-"

"Yeah, Tail's right! I'll go find her!"

In a flash, I got out of Amy's 'death hug' and ran out the building to find the mysterious human girl.

'It's nice to have a little break from Amy.'

The feeling of the wind rushing by was enough to soothe my nerves and forget about my number one fan just for a while. My focus right now is to find that empty and cold human girl and try to figure her out.

And to my surprise I found her in like 5 seconds. Just outside the forest, is she taking a nap?

"Hey I thought that you wanted to save your friend?"

Looking down at her I noticed something weird about her shoulder. But then it hit me like a big bag of rocks.

"Blood!"

Carefully picking her up I raced to Tails house for help.

'Just hang on a little longer!'

Alice's POV

I was in the darkness, floating in midair, voices in darkness were yelling the same thing over and over again.

"Kayla! Kayla! KAYLA!"

'Who's this 'Kayla' person? And whose voice is that?'

That was when my head began to ache. Memories began to rush inside my brain of my life and my best friend Kayla. I remembered about the talking animals and how I was so close to saving Kayla until that annoying, pain in the neck hedgehog screwed up everything!

'Hold on Kayla I'll save you!'

Opening my eyes, I noticed the different scenery from the forest.

'Is this the Chaotix's Detective Agency? Wait, the room is different from the guest room in the Chaotix. So, where am I?'

I heard the door open to see a pink hedgehog dubbed 'Amy' walked into the room with a tray.

"Oh, you're awake. I brought some breakfast for you in case you were hungry."

She said with cheerful smile.

"Where am I?"

I said coldly, the pink hedgehog didn't flinch, but instead responded angrily.

"You're in Tail's house in the guest room."

Amy glared at me fiercely.

"Hey Amy, how's the she doing?"

Said a familiar, yet annoying voice coming from the opening door,

"She's doing fine."

Said the pink hedgehog with the sudden change of attitude, but the rat was still on my nerves. So with a swift movement, my pillow hit him squarely in the face, surprisingly, and he fell onto his butt.

"Sonikku, are you alright?"

Amy asked the blue rat, while glaring at me furiously.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

He stood up, grinning like a maniac, with the help of the pink rat, Amy. She closed the door behind her forcefully the before starting an argument.

"Don't you ever hurt my Sonikku again."

She demanded even more furiously than before.

"His not even hurt and he seems perfect fine to me."

I stole a quick glance at the blue hedgehog and back to the pink one. Her face reddens rather quickly before taking out a huge hammer and swings it at me. My hand expertly grasps the handle of the hammer easily before it made contact to my head. The door unexpectedly begins to open and immediately Amy puts away her hammer begins to act innocent.

"Hey Sonic, I was wondering if you seen-"

I saw Vector at the door way standing there frozen looking at me.

"What's wrong Vector?"

Said Espio looking at him then inside the room, with the same reaction as Vector, the chameleon stood there frozen looking at me.

"What's going on?"

Said a large bee looking at the frozen chameleon and crocodile then looked inside the room, and froze at an instant. The bee started to tear up and buzzed towards me. He hugged my face crying, getting my face all wet.

"Alice!"

He said sniffing and crying at the same time. I glared at him coldly and angrily.

"WAH! She's still scary!"

Charmy hid behind Sonic for some comfort.

"Geez, you animals are annoying."

I yawned covering my mouth, but then slowly noticed that everyone was looking at me strangely and asked,

"What's everyone staring at?"

There was an uncomfortable silence in the room for a few seconds until Charmy finally spoke.

"You have pretty eyes, Alice."

Charmy stated, while admiring my eyes, like staring at shiny stones, only an inch away from my face. Another cold glare sent him, once again, running away, giving me a chance to hide my eyes behind my hair.

"WAH! She's still scary!"

A sigh escaped from my mouth as I bit into another exotic fruit shaped like a star, but with smeared with colors of the rainbow. The taste was exotic too. My hungry took control over and the whole basket of the fruit was gone in less than minute, while trying not to move unnecessarily remembering the bruises and my shoulder.

With the peaceful silence in the room I assumed that everyone was gone while my ravenous devouring of fruit, but surprisingly no one moved. Well except Amy, who probably left when witnessing, in disgusted, of my eating habits.

From the curious stares around the room I just blurted out what everyone was waiting to hear from me.

"You guys want to know everything, right?"

Eager heads bobbed up and down in agreement. I mentally smirked with amusement. They think I'll just tell them everything from my black past just because they saved me twice. Yeah right… But telling them a little bit about Kayla might help me learn more about 'Eggman.'
