Chapter 45: Missing you

×~~~×~~~×

I can't sleep.
My head is still flooded with the image of (y/n)'s dying body in my arms.
Her body pressed against mine, feeling the warmth of it slowly fade away .

Her eyes lost in mine, full of agony, begging, screaming for help.
Help that I couldn't give.

Is there something I could've done?

Could I have done something, anything to help?

Am I to blame for her death?

It's like I can always feel her presence.
A disembodied voice, whispering in my ear while I tried to sleep.
Feeling phantom touches all over me.
It feels so strange.
I feel an emptiness of sorts.
The same one I felt when I saw Maria for the last time.
The bond I had with her, severed and broken.

Perhaps this is how she felt when she lost me?
The same feeling of emptiness and sadness.
The way her eyes welled up with tears and the glowing smile she had when she saw me again.

She knew that I'll be back didn't she? She never lost hope.
She knew I'll come back.
Se loved me so much.

Now I have to hope she'll come back.
I don't think I can.
I don't think that there is a way back for (y/n).

She's gone.

×~~~×~~~×

There were two picture frames (y/n) had on the night stand next to her bed.

The bigger one was a group picture of everyone on the ship minus myself and Rouge.
My eyes searched the picture looking for (y/n).
She was laughing next to Sonic who was making a stupid looking face, which was presumably what had made her laugh.

She looked so lovely when she smiled or laughed.
Her smile could light up even the darkest of nights.

I gently put the picture back

The other one was more faded in colour.
The whole picture was all yellowed and looked years old.
Some colours looked darker some lighter.

The picture was of her and Sonic with two older Mobians.
Their Parents I presume.

She looked so small compared to her father who was holding her up so she would be in the frame.

She looked so much like him, down to the color of their fur and muzzle.

(Y/n) had a wide smile and she was leaning towards the much younger looking Sonic, who was being lifted up by the Mother.

I thought they were twins...
Weren't they?

I gently removed the picture out of the frame, not wanting to damage the picture more than it was.
On the back it read:
'Future Queen (y/n) with parents (F/n) and (M/n), and her brother (B/n)'

Queen?
Did she come from a royal family?
If so, what had prompted her to leave?
Did she run away?
And the brother was not Sonic?
I flipped the picture back around examining it once more.

How come I didn't notice that the 'brother' showed on the picture, didn't look anything like Sonic.
I guess because the picture was so yellowed and old I assumed it was Sonic.
But Sonic said he grew up with (y/n). That she was his sister, right?

"God I'm insane aren't I?"
I paced around the room, glancing at the photo of (y/n) and her family.
Picking it up and glaring at it.
For all I know Sonic could've just changed his name or just recolour his fur... That's a thing right?
