Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Fanfic Series)

Chapter 23: Home

Sara raised her eyebrow in confusion. "Home?"

"Yes. Home," James said. As he said this, he walked towards his right with his hands on his back. His head was lowered down while he slightly turned to her. "A real home. You were born in that home."

James came to a stop and fully turned to Sara. "But right after you were born, your father laid you in a basket and sent you out on a river because something... complicated happened to him and your mother."

"What about the orphanage? Who took me there?" Sara asked.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps someone, who's the orphanage caretaker, found you and took you there to care for you," James answered.

James walked on his left side, with his body slightly turned to Sara. "Right now, things have changed. For the better of your home's society. And once you're home..." He came to a stop and his body fully turned to her. "...I'll teach you how to control your powers."

A pause occurred in the air.

Then, Sara finally spoke up, "I have chosen my home. And that is my home with Runa, Shadow, Lucy, Bubbles and our five chao friends. Right here, in Mobius."

Silence occurred in the air.

Then, a few moments later, James broke the silence. "Think about it," he said in a whisper only Sara could hear.

With that, another lighting struck. Then, James disappeared.

Sara was left in deep thought about what James had said earlier.

Later on...
Sara's Safe House, Far Away from G.U.N. Headquarters

One of the G.U.N. soldiers escorted Sara to a safe house, faraway from G.U.N. Once she entered, she was in awe of the details of that place.

The walls were peach with the floors and ceilings being wooden brown. On her left, she could see the dining room. There was a rectangular wooden brown, polished table with six chairs surrounding it. At the center of the table was a white vase with white flowers on them. Further ahead of her was the window with white translucent curtains hanging above it.

On her right was the living room. The couch was placed slightly closer to her view with an armchair on the slightly far right. The color of the couch and sofa was dark brown. There was a glass, low table in front of the couch and a white, small vase with lavender in the middle. Attached to the wall in front of the glass table was a fireplace, covered with glass. Above it was a black-framed TV screen. Behind the couch was a shelf full of books and statues of angels. Between the shelf, and the TV and fireplace was a window with white translucent curtains hanging above it.

Between the dining room and the living room was a small hallway. A hallway that led to three more rooms.

Further ahead was her bedroom. Her bedroom consisted of a bed located on the far right. The bedsheet, pillows and the mattress were white with the blanket being white with red narrow stripes on it. The bed was held by an iron-made bed board. On the other side was a small dark brown, polished table. The top of it was circular with its one leg at the bottom center. Right at the bottom were four spirals. Surrounding it were two chairs with the same color. The pattern on the chairs' backrests were filled with spirals. Their legs were straight, but its ends were ball-pointed. There was also a shelf attached to the middle wall. Most of the space was filled with books. Almost all of the floor was covered with a dirty blonde carpet. Between the bed and the table was a big rectangular window with white translucent curtains hanging above it.
