It's a lie... (A Sonic Fanfiction)

This is how it ends.

Chapter 12

Tails' P.O.V.

             I'm with Knuckles. He woke up and we were discussing our strategy on how to be rid of the new Sonic. It was raining very hard, but neither of us cared. "I just... still can't believe it..." I say, covering my face, and running my fingers into my stringy bangs. "How could he have.... faked it?! So well...?" Knuckles looked at me sympathetically. I pushed down the lump in my throat, though, and looked up. This had to end. It can't continue on like this. The world can't live with him. It was one or the other. I'm sure of it now. I stand up, an idea playing out in my mind as I look to Knuckles. I didn't even have to say anything. We both knew what I was thinking. 

            "We need to get back to the camp," I say, flatly. He nods and we make our way through the forest. I had a photograph memory and could remember most of the way. We improvised the rest and eventually came up to the camp. It looked like hell. Fire blazed weakly off most of the tents and hundreds of bodies lay lifeless, spread out on the ground. Only a few people stood or sat around, grief and trauma painted thickly acrooss all of their faces. They all looked up to us, almost casually. Some even glared. I feel uncomfortable, but push it away and start stepping over the bodies. The survivors make no move, but turn their heads to see me struggle, trying to make my way to the tents in decent conditions. I look for weapons. Guns, preferrably. Finding none, I search the bodies. The eerie silence, besides me, makes me guilty and awkward. Those eyes. Why aren't they moving? Just watching me. I find a few guns and knives and carry them to Knuckles. As i get close to him, I accidentally trip on a body. The weapons all dropped at his feet and I get myself up, looking to what I tripped on. It looked like one of the people that were staring at me. I turned back and they're gone, and I see Cream. Staring at me with those eyes. 

            In fear, I scream out and fall on my butt. I use my feet to scoot backwards till I hit my red friend who stares at me curiously. My breathing is heavy and I can't draw my eyes away from the little girl's. She stared me down. As if she was blaming me for something. As if I had killed her. But I didn't! I didn't, did I?!

Knuckles PO.V.

I look down at Tails. He's terrified and was going pale. I look up at what he's looking at, but don't see anything. I kneel down to his level and whisper in his ear, "What is it you're looking at?"

"C-C-Cream..." he said, in a soft voice. I didn't sound like he was saying anything to me. What is he seeing?

Tails' P.O.V.

"Cream..." I say softly to the figure, as if to make sure she's really there. Then, she moves forward, step-by-step toward me. I back up more, but am stopped by Knuckles' legs. She comes closer and closer  and gets right in my face. She clamped both hands on my shoulders, pushing me onto my back. She raised one hand and I look to it. There's a sharp, dripping, butcher's knife. the blade is pointing to me, as her dull hazel eyes stared into my sapphire ones. Her eyes narrowed only slightly before the knife came down and I squeezed my eyes shut, yelling, "Please don't!!!"

       "Tails! What is it?!" I open my eyes to see Knuckles shaking me. "What's wrong?!" Realizing that Cream had been a hallucination, I sit up. "I'm fine," was my reply before I stood and grabbed the weapons and head back into the forest. Those eyes... they're etched in my mind and it almost makes me want to cry. But that would be pitiful... too pitiful. Too pathetic. So I blinked a little, set the weapons down in our hiding spot, and got ready. I would avenge them all. I promise...
