Your Devoted Prisoner

Sketchy Egg

SONIC'S POV

Sssss....

My eyes fluttered awake, listening to the sound of water before it goes away. I noticed Tails wasn't in the bed with me, so I could only have assumed that was him in the restroom. I closed my eyes, wanting to go back to bed and finish my dream.

I heard the door creak, causing my ear to slightly flinch but I'm pretty sure nobody saw.

I heard Tails footsteps lead downstairs and I peeked open, curious to see whatever he was planning on doing. I crept downstairs without my shoes and watched Tails as he wrote something down on a sticky note and ran out the door without hesitation. Unsure of what to do, I picked up the note. He was going back to his friends house, eh? Sounds a bit sketchy to me...

I tugged on my shoes and followed after Tails.

He slowly walked into an alley way, looking a bit frightened. I inch forward, desperate to see what was happening inside. I saw a tall unidentifiable animal with a suit. Who wears clothes around here in New Yoke City..? The only people that wear clothes are-

"Hello, Sonic!" An old grumpy voice declared. "Eggman." I say. Good thing they didn't hear us yet because they are talking.

Eggman flies over to me slightly with his handmade aircraft, levitating just a few inches above the ground. "What do you want?" I question suspiciously. "Well..." He mumbles. I raise an eyebrow.

"You've noticed it too, right..?" He asks slowly and quietly. I open my mouth to speak but when I do, nothing comes out. He seems a bit saddened by this but clears his throat. "Tails." He whispered. "He's been acting different..." That Egghead said, acting as if he knew something.

"What do you know..." I ask, though it sounds more like a demand. He pushes his index finger tips together. "Shadow." Was all escaped his cold, chapped mouth. My eyebrows raise in shock, horrified of whatever Shadow could be doing to my best friend right now. I look back and Tails plus the henchman isn't there anymore. I dash into the alley way looking for clues to where tmey could've gone but found nothing.

Eggman follows behind me and taps my shoulder. I look back. "What." Was all I managed to say. He goes up to a brickwall and pushes in a brick, causing it to press back and an underground route open up. It was about the size of Eggman but doubled!

I looked down and a painted gorgeous white staircase was what was shown. I was about to walk down until Eggy here, grabbed me and tucked me in the seat behind him. I wonder what was so bad that Eggman himself felt the need to touch me and place me in his device.

Something bad was going down. Really bad. And I needed to find out what it was.
