meeting Martin

The next night, basically at midnight, you were in the freezing, cold void, with yet again, Luther's warm, soft cape wrapped around you. You looked around the void to find those who were telling you some things about Sarah. "She's telling lies, Y/N..DON'T trust her..." They said yet again. And it came from every direction, like last time. You kept running in different directions, yelling "Who are you?! Show yourself!". And that's when you realized something. You stopped running, and took a major minute to think, and then asked " how the hell do you even know my NAME????" With confusion. "We have seen you, before, my dear friend." They said. That's when you felt someone's finger tap your shoulder, and screamed, jumping up, and your fur standing up instantly. You looked to see a red echidna with a big smile on his face, but it seemed forced. He looked exactly like Knuckles. "Yo, Knuckles! How'd you get here, buddy?" You said with a happy smile. He was surprised you called him Knuckles and not his real name, but he knows you don't know is actual name, so he has really nothing to expect. "My friend, my name is not Knuckles, it's Martin." They said softly. You were confused, so you asked "wait, your name isn't Knuckles?..." "" Nope.".Damn. Well. You felt stupid. You mentally slapped yourself. " Oh! Sorry, my bad Martin!" You apologized quickly. He said it was okay and that there was nothing to worry about. "(N/N)? Are you even in here? I have a strong feeling you are, but I'm not positive!" You heard Sarah say from a distance. You stayed silent and still, and so did Martin. Both of you were afraid, you were afraid cuz you weren't supposed to be in here since they said not to at ALL tonight, and Martin is scared because,, Hm, not sure. You don't really know why Martin was scared. "Shoot." Was all he mumbled out until he grabbed your wrist, and ran immediately. "Why are you in here anyway...?!" He whisper-yelled. "I wanted to figure out who's voice that was! I didn't know it was yours!" You replied back. "Oh, dang, I am so sorry, my friend, I didn't mean to drag you into this much trouble. " "No worries, pal, you're good." "(Y/N)!" You both heard the voice closer, and you two ran faster. Until Martin stopped. You nearly fell, but he caught you. You thanked him. "Why did yo-" "Go."He said sternly. "What..?" "I said go. I'll distance her from you and distract her for as long as I can. Run. Run far away. And never. Stop. Running." "Bu-" That was all he said until he sprinted to where Sarah was coming from. "MARTIN!" You screamed his name, but no answer. Until you heard his screams and cries. You teared up, but did was he said, and ran fast, with tears threatening to run down your face. "I'm sorry, Martin..." Your fur stood up, and your ears folded down. You felt terrible, leaving to scream in pain and agony. You jumped into a portal on the ground without a second thought, and fell on the couch of your living room, and bounced off of it, onto the floor. Square on your back. You groaned, and your back ached bad. You heard running, and the lights turned on before you even knew it. "Hey, who the hell is in he- (Y/N)?-" Luther has his Axe in hand. He walked up to you in complete concern, and towered over you. "Okayyy, so, like, how much did you drink?" Luther asked, getting straight to the point. "WHAT????" You immediately freaked out, but calmed down. "I didn't drink at all Luther." "Are you sure.?" "Yes."
"Are you positive?" "I am positive." "Okay... Are you su-" "Luther, just help me up." "Already doing that.-" and held a hand out to help you. You took his hand as he pulled you up, and helped you balance yourself back on your feet. He yawned and said, "Why are you even in here?" With tired eyes. "Weeeeeeellllllll........" You said nervously, while scratching the back of your neck. You tried to think of a lie, you didn't want to rat out Martin, so you just said "I thought something was outside, I kept hearing screams, so I decided to check out here." Well, why didn't you check the bedroom window?" "It came from the Living room." You answered back quickly. He just blinked a few times. "Okay," he began, and grabbed your wrist gently. "We're going to bed. Now." "Okay, okay."

~Timeskip~

You and Luther were in the bed. He was fast asleep while you.. Well, you couldn't sleep at all, even if you tried. You kept tossing and turning gently, but never found peace to where you could actually rest your eyes. You were scared, scared for Martin. You felt so bad, hell, you could even say you felt horrible. You didn't like the fact that he sacrificed himself, just for you, and you two just met each other. You then sat up, and checked the time on your phone. 1:50 it said. You felt wide awake. You kept hearing screams, and it soundes exactly like Martin's. His screams and cries, and hollers, we're haunting your mind. You covered your ears, but it did nothing. You then saw a random figure, and it looked like the figure from a few months ago. The one that was behind X. You did not like that thing, and it was in the corner of your room. Staring at you. Not moving a muscle. It doesn't even look like it was breathing. You didn't say anything, since you felt like it would literally pounce on you and rip you to shreds. Your ears folded down as you continued to stare at it, as the door slowly opened to reveal Sarah. You relaxed your body, as you thought the figure was actually about to do something. "Uh, why are you not-" you interrupted her by saying, "check behind the door. There is a weird ass figure in the corner of the room and you just opened the door on it." You said quickly, and was pointed at the door. She was, of course, confused, but did what you asked, and removed the door from the wall by closing it, only to see nothing there. 'What?' You thought. Did it just Dissapear? Oh Lord. As long as it disappeared, and did no harm to anyone, you're good. But still. It disappeared. "Uh, okay, anyway," she said turning towards you. "Are you okay? You seem a bit tense." She tilted her head a little. "Oh! Yeah, I'm fine, no worries! It was that random person that was behind the door that DISAPPEARED." you raise your voice at the word "ddisappeared", but not too much to wake up Luther. She went silent, and gave a " what the hell are you talking about?" Stare. She then shook her head, and replied with, "Okay, well, you're probably just hallucinating. That happens if you don't get enough sleep." "But I wasn-" "Before I opened this door, you saw a random black dark figure staring deep into your soul, and APPARENTLY, after I opened the door, it decided to disintegrate into dust and air. Yeah, that sounds kinda delusional, don't you think?" with her hands on her hips. Not gonna lie, you actually that, well, kinda, that it was all you imagination, and your mind playing tricks on you. "Yeah, you're probably right." You stated. "Uh-huh." She hummed. She walked up to the bed and tucked herself in, getting comfortable. "Well, whether or not it was there, it won't hurt you. Not as long as Luther and I are here." She smiled. You returned the smile. "Thank you, Sarah." You said with an eye-closed smile. "Mhm, no problem." She layed her head down on the soft pillow, and you did so as well. "Night, (N/N). Sweet dreams." She whispered while pulling you close. "Goodnight Sarah, and you too.. " you mumbled, as sleepiness took over.
