|~Better Off Dead~| (A Sonic The Hedgehog Fanfic)

Chapter 2: Archer and Archory, Dixie and Damaging

TAILS' POV:

The black slowly starts to fade, and I feel Sonic carrying me while running at full speed. He looks down at me and notices I'm awake. He finds a nearby tree and sits me down under it.
"Sonic, what is going on?!" I ask. He sighs. "Stay here, okay Tails?" Sonic says, and with that, he runs away, leaving me alone. All alone. With no clue what is going on.
I look around, trying to find a clue of what's going on. And I got my clue, that's for sure. Just not the way I wanted it. I hear footsteps behind me. Good thing I always bring my gadgets just in case...

SONIC'S POV: VIOLENCE

I feel bad for leaving Tails alone. But it's what will protect him. I run back to where we were when Tails got punched. And he's still standing there, holding that damn bow.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" I ask rather loudly. The guy just laughs. "I'm Archer, Sonic," He says. My heart drops. How does he know my name? "What do you want with us?" I ask, this time with more rage. "I want your power, of course!" Archer says. I sigh. Why are there so many power-hungry people after my friends and I?!
"Fine then. You'll have to beat me first!" I yell, charging at him. I punch him quickly, knocking him to the ground. Before he can get back up, I spin dash him. I step back as he gets up. He shoots multiple arrows at me, and I dodge them all. I catch the last one and I throw it back to him. It hits him in his arm. He stumbles back.
I suddenly hear a scream from far away. I look to see who it was. While I'm distracted, him punches me and stabs my arm with an arrow. I yelp in pain. I punch him in his gut and I rip out the arrow. I break the arrow and spin dash him once again. He falls backward.
I'm about to go figure out what or who screamed when he grabbed me and threw me into a tree. I hit my head hard and fall to the ground. I slowly and wobbly get up while holding my head. "Ow..." I mumble. I look back at him, and before I can do anything, he punches me again.

TAILS POV: SWEARING, VIOLENCE, THREATENING

    What's going on? All I know is that this girl is trying to kill me. "Hello...little one," she says, slowly creeping up on me. I back up until I'm backed up into a tree. She grabs me by my throat. "I'd love to take your fur for my newest rug~" she says, throwing me onto the ground. I stand back up, only to get a knife to the face, right across my eye. I scream in pain and fall. I stand up again, my vision partially blurred by blood.
    I look at her with the one eye I can see out of. She punches me in my gut. I cough and fall again. I kick her in her gut, and she falls backwards. I look for my back pack since it fell off of my back, but it's hard to find with my vision obscured. She grabs me by my hood and throws me into another tree. I knew I shouldn't've worn a hoodie today.
    I get up slowly, and I look around. I spot something yellow: My back pack. But before I can grab it, I get right hooked by her fist. Hard. I fall down in pain again. But then I notice where I fell: Right next to my back pack!
    I grab it and start rummaging in it, looking for something. "Awww, are you looking for your phone to call your big brother? I'm sorry honey, he's dead," She says. My heart drops. Is he...really dead? I keep rummaging in my back pack, despite the anxiety creeping up my spine.
    I finally find it: The yellow gun I made a while back. I hear Rachel used it to save Maddie so Maddie could save us. Sonic, Tom and I. We were in trouble then, and I'm in trouble now. I guess this gun must be really helpful.
    I point it at her, and she laughs. "What is that meant to do? Tickle me? How cute!" She says, still laughing. I point it at a bush and shoot. The whole entire bush blows up.
    She immediately throws her hands up  and falls to her knees in defeat. "Wimp," I think. I point it at her. "Listen here, bitch. Let me go and you leave, or you die here and now," I say. Now, of course I wasn't gonna kill her. It was just an empty threat. But still, it could work. Can't it?
    "Fine..." she says, standing up and running away. Before she leaves, she turns around and says, "The name is Dixie, not bitch," and then she runs away. The opposite direction that Sonic is. Perfect. I start running to Sonic, but it's hard. Everything hurts. My face, legs, everything. Yet I still keep running. And running. And running.
