Personality split

Claude's Breakdown

Silver's POV

"Good morning Blaze!" I called as I saw Blaze walk down the stairs.

"How was your night?" I asked her.

"Not that great... Claude gave me a really hard time last night. Trying to put that boy to bed is a nightmare. This boy does not go to sleep easily,"

"Tell me about it... Carrying him here was hard. I never thought Sonic would have this much anger in his head,"

"I agree... I thought his anger would be less. You know... mean and rude,"

"Well, where is Claude now?"

"He's still upstairs in his room and I don't think he's awake yet. Do you think you can go wake up Claude? I don't feel like waking him up after having to take care of him all night,"

"Alright... I'll be right back. Get ready to help me if he loses his cool,"

I slowly walked upstairs and looked down the long hallway. I heard a huge crash coming from a room at the end of the hall. I noticed the door had burn marks on it and I knew that was Claude's room.

I put my ear against the door and listened to what he was doing. I heard thing flying through the room. Claude was yelling out of anger and more things were smashed. I put my hand on the doorknob and slowly turned it.

"Claude Time to wake up!" I called as I opened the door.

Inside was smashed tables and chairs. I looked over and the window was broken. I knew that I would need to fix that later. Clothes were spread across the floor with other things.

I took a huge sigh and used my telekinesis to life everything. The leftover scraps from the broken tables and chairs flew out the window and to the dumpster. I folded the clothes and cleaned up the glass from the broken window. I then noticed a huge pile of blankets and pillows so I decided to lift them up and put them back on the bed.

As I did I was surprised to see Claude under everything. His quills were all shuffled up and his eyes looked like all the life was taken out of them. Claude's hands were over his head and when I looked over his black jacket was still on the bed. When I got closer Claude was...Crying?

Claude looked up and saw me. He snapped up and stepped away from me. But was stuck in the corner. He quickly shook his tears away for them to only form back under his lifeless eyes. His face tried to form into a sour look but it stayed like it had before... Sad and in pain.

"If you tell anyone about this... I will fuck you up! YOU HEAR ME! Leave me alone you little shit!" He yelled at me but the threat was soon brushed aside.

Claude put his hands on his head and let out a scream. I heard shuffling from downstairs and before I knew it Blaze ran into the room with a fireball in hand. She looked over at me and then at Claude who had buried his face in his hands. Blaze then pulled me aside and gave me a confused look.

"What did you do?" She asked me looking over at Claude who was walking back to his corner.

"I didn't do anything! He was like this when I walked in... It might have something to do about the promise they were talking about," I told her and pointed to Claude.

Blaze took a huge sigh and walked over to Claude. She knelt down and patted the green hedgehog on the back. She then took him into a hug.

"Claude just tells us what's wrong," Blaze said calmly and pulled him closer.

Claude quickly turned around and was about to punch Blaze in the face. But Blaze was able to grab both of Claude's wrists and pinned him to a wall. Claude then looked at the ground and cried even more than before as he beat against the grip that was holding him down. But it was no use.

Instead, Claude just crumpled down in defeat and just sat there on the ground crying. I tried the same as Blaze by rubbing his shoulder but I got the same result. Claude didn't want our signs of affection.

"Tell us what's wrong," Blaze said again once the green hedgehog had stopped crying enough to talk.

"F-Fine... I'll tell you, bitches! I'm worried about Sage! I know we are both opposites in Sonic's shitty mind... But whenever I lose it like this Sage is always here for me. I'm always there to protect him! I can't stand it not know what is going on with him! I'm supposed to be the hero! The strong one and the one that doesn't need help like the real Sonic! But the shitty truth is that I can't help anyone with anything! I couldn't even help Sonic not fall into an abyss of sadness and despair," Claude screamed out with tears pouring out of his eyes.

"Claude I promise Sage is ok! Everything will be ok! Amy is with him and she is really sweet... She'll make sure he's safe," I told him and put my hand on his shoulder.

He looked at me with a hint of hope was in his eyes. But then that hope quickly disappeared as Claude knocked my hand off his shoulder and got up. He grabbed his jacket from off of the bed and walked downstairs.

I looked at Blaze and shrugged and we both followed him downstairs. There we watched Claude sit at the table speechless as he took a bit of the breakfast I had prepared. Once he finished he carefully put his plate and silverware in the sink and walked into the living room

I then heard the TV from the kitchen as I and Blaze ate our share of the food. We didn't talk about what had happened in the room. We didn't know how to bring it up.

"I think we should tell Tails," Blaze said finally pulling her phone from her pocket.

"Yeah that's a good idea," I said and we both called the young fox.
