A Different World (Sonic Various X Reader) || ✔️||

Chapter 7

It's night time. I haven't sleep yet. The lights are turned off and everyone's asleep. And here I am now, in a branch of a tree. I like the feeling of the fresh air brushing through my skin, the sound of the leaves, making my hair sway. I feel free and peaceful. I closed my eyes enjoying the moment

"Not a sleep yet?" A deep voice suddenly interrupted

I opened my eyes to see Mephiles in another branch of a tree, sitting like me

"Yeah. How about you?.Why aren't you asleep yet?" I asked

He chuckled darkly

"I don't need to" He said

"May I ask something?" I said

"It depends on what kind of question, dear" He calmly stated, looking directly at me with his snake like eyes

"Uh..w-well.. Why aren't you with us lately? When we got here, then eat and do stuff." I said

This was the thing I was wondering the whole night. I saw Scourge with Sonic before we got into the house

"Ahh. I was busy" He said not minding the question

I nodded

I honestly found it creepy. I mean, I didn't notice his presence. The whole time I was here, and I didn't even feel like someone was here. I honestly don't know why I'm even surprised

After that, it was a complete silence

"I-I"

"Yes?" He hummed

"Why do you look like Sh-shadow?" I asked

"You may say that he's a relative of mine" He plainly spoke

Relative? That doesn't seem to convincing for me but I don't want to ask further questions. I maintained my thoughts and questions in my head. I might step his boundaries. He seems not to like being asked about his personal life

The same silence was heard. Only the sound of the swaying leaves of tree was heard. I closed my eyes once again. I feel so relaxed.

"I'm just wondering, but I think Sonic or the others have already asked you this question but I want to know them myself. Silver and the others and I don't really talk much offten. So I'm gonna ask the question, how were you lost? I am certain this world is a different one. This place is another dimension, not a human world, where you obviously are from. This place isn't usually found unless you have a portal and such. So how did you got here?" He asked

Golly. This guy is smart. He knows too much. He knows I'm from the other dimension and I was truly correct to think he knows it from the start. But he was not really bothered that I'm a human like the others. He did see the big difference. They all did

"Welp, you know it. I'm from the human world. It was rainy there, I was walking into the forest wandering around. Wanna find new things. In the middle of the woods, I always see this cave. But I didn't know why I had explored it just now. And now, it lead me here"

"Sometimes, humans makes me curious. Like now. It's unusual"He said

I don't know what to say. The air was making me now sleepy. I was struggling a little to keep my weary eyes open. But before I can sleep here, I managed to keep my eyes open

"I'm gonna sleep. See you tomorrow and goodnight" I said before jumping off into the tree

The trees not that tall so it wasn't really a problem of climbing or coming down

"Goodnight." He politely responded

I started to walk towards my house. These hedgehogs, however, interests me. Not in a bad way. Everybody here fascinates me. Their abilities, how smart they are, the fact that they also have electronics like humans and all.

Not to mention Mephiles, who seems mysterious to me. Right into the very beginning I just saw them. But I don't want to let them know such things. I keep everything to myself. Not to seem mysterious, but I'm not really the kind of person who is open to others

I silently opened the door. Same thing as I left before, lights turn off, everyone sleeping. I quickly and silently walk towards my room

I opened my door. I lay on my bed. Sleepiness was now getting the best of me. I lay on a comfortable position and slept
