Sonicphobia

Chapter Twenty Two: Detention!?

I coughed as the smoke filled my lungs. "Father?" I whimpered, gagging at the horrible stench. It smelled like rotting fish, feces and other disgusting things that are best left unsaid. I felt something wet fall on my face and I wiped it off with my sleeve. It was bright blue in color and it tasted like blueberries that went bad. I gagged, then I hear a sickeningly familiar voice behind me as I wiped the crap off of the hospital gown I was wearing in my trip.

It sounded like it was lilting as it purred, "Hello, do you want to play with me?" I turned to see Airalain glare at me, her eyes narrowed to green slits and her eyelids revealing Sonic.exe-esque makeup on her eyes. I flipped her off as she continued, "It's a shame that you didn't meet Sonic sooner. He'd make a wonderful dad to you."

I growled, scampering backwards away from my roommate, "I. Don't. Like. Associating. With. My. Phobias." Then I felt something hit me really hard in the waist and knock me to the mud. I caught the glimpse of something dark purple towering over me and glaring at me. I wiped the mud off of my brow disgustedly. I glanced up to see Darkspine Sonic staring down at me with lifeless, white eyes.

His voice echoed in my head, You dropped the ball now, Alison Hedgehog! You can never tell yourself the truth! I snarled angrily as I tried to get up.

Then I felt something tangle itself around my legs and fling me in the air. I screamed as I fell into something dark blue with white fringe. I hear the Werehog growl playfully, "You tried the act of denial in the past, dear. I wonder how well it worked for you!?" I was finally face to muzzle with the Werehog as he laughed, spun me around, and flung me in the mud.

I spat out the mud as another figure crawled towards me. It was fat looking, and it melded into the face of my ex boyfriend, Mike. His pudge nose was upturned as he crawled towards me. "And yet, you let people push you around and treat you like a fuckable shitshow." He growled as he grabbed my face and shoved my nose close to him. I could smell his bad breath.

I yelled, "Back off!" Then I saw a flight of stairs materialize behind me. I started to clamber up the stairs, hoping to get away from the past.

"Are you afraid to accept me as your dad, Ali May?" I hear Sonic's voice ask from somewhere up high. It had a pleasant lilt. I turned my attention up the flight of stairs and I could see Sonic reclining in a golden throne, and the stairs melted from disgusting grey to beautiful gold and cobalt marbling. His green eyes shone as his servants continued fanning him, and his grin grew a little wider as I started crawling towards him. He cocked his head, then he pointed at the hospital gown I was wearing. It immediately became a long, blue evening gown with a light blue fur cape to go with. He pointed towards my throat and a very heavy diamond collar appeared. He pointed towards my hair, and it immediately cleaned itself like a self washing machine. Then my ponytail fell out to reveal long, luxurious, cobalt curls. With each step I took, I could feel the dress getting tighter. I also noticed that the muddy hell had melted into a gold, cobalt, red and white ballroom.

Sonic's grin was almost hungry as he pulled me into his grip as I reached the last stair. He inhaled the perfume that somehow applied itself, then he grinned, showing a pair of fangs gleaming in his mouth. He pulled me closer, his green eyes latched hungrily to me. "It doesn't hurt. Let me have you join us." He purred lazily in my ear, and I blushed as he stroked a gloved fingertip to my cheek.

I turned around to see Airalain at the bottom of the stairs. "Let us adore you, Alison. We crave your joy, your honesty and your love. Please give us every last drop of what you hold dear to your heart." She commanded, her uniform transforming into a brilliant black ball gown with extra frills, poofy sleeves, and high heels. Her hand held a fan and she fanned herself. She murmured, "Are you seriously scared of love, Alison?" Her blood red cape billowed as she continued climbing the steps.

I spat, "No, I'm more scared of rejection."

She purred, "Well, you just became good and fat. You'd make a wonderful main course for this gamersfeast."

I glanced down and realized that her words ring true; I was definitely forty pounds fatter than when this shitty trip started. Then I felt her fingers dig into my flesh as she poked me and squeezed me. Sonic reached out and wrapped an arm around my waist. His fangs gleamed as he leaned in closer. Both hedgehogs cackled in my ear as they grabbed me. Then I felt them beginning to devour me. "You will join us!" They shrieked in my ear. Then I turn to see a swirling vortex of color heading towards me. And then more voices shriek in my ear, "Join us!" as furs started wrapping around me... suffocating me. I screamed, trying to break free. Then there was blackness.

I woke up on the floor in front of Sonic's feet. I groaned, holding my pounding head. "Alison, are you alright?" Sonic's voice asked. I winced; Sonic's cheesy voice sounded way too loud in my ear. I nodded shakily, feeling dizzy. I felt him carry me, murmuring, "I had zero idea that Tina would do that to you. I can't believe that she would send Ben after you. You are going to sign something for me, alright?" I nodded shakily as he grabbed another piece of paper and a normal looking pen. I quickly signed the two papers and dropped the pen. I waited for pain, but there was none.

Sonic whispered, "Alright, Al. You'll spend the rest of the afternoon doing schoolwork." I gazed at Sonic in horror. Did he not realize what kind of hell I've been through!? I thought. "Do what you can. If you feel too sick to continue, stop. Do not push yourself if you can't do it. I will not punish a student who got a whiff of the truth ink." Sonic added, making his words sound like an order. I nodded, beginning to write my essay for History.

I need to say, having Sonic hover over you as you are doing your homework is kind of nerve wracking. I felt as if I was doing everything on my homework wrong as he continued staring at my work with a silent gaze. I half expected Sonic to be an asshole and pick on me for every wrong answer I might have placed on the paper. He was surprisingly quiet as I finished up the homework for today.

I turned to Sonic as the bell rang and he just nodded as if he knew what I was going to ask. "You're excused for the day, Alison. See you soon." Sonic's voice echoed in my ears as I ran away from his study as quickly as I could. My stomach was in knots as my mind raced. If that is what Sonic acts like when he is mildly irritated and in Dad mode, who knows how terrifying he would be in Headmaster mode. I thought as I ran to the cafeteria. He's probably got a pen that slowly leeches the life out of people.

I shuddered at that thought, realizing how quickly the thought of Sonic having multiple means of keeping students in line is an appetite killer. I tried to make it look like I was eating, but really, I was too scared to eat. Thankfully, Sonic was with the other Mobians, chatting about Eggman or whatever. I quickly cleared my place and left. I was not really hungry after having Sonic stare at me for three hours. I felt everyone stare at me, and I knew that I better leave before one of Tina's ugly cronies tried punching in my face.
