Who I Am (Infinite x Reader)

Chapter 26 ~ Another Fight

Several cubes hit Sonic, he gets knocked back with a grunt, green eyes going wide. I smile under my mask, bowing down my head to a glare. I hold out my hand, making a "come on" movement. I was taunting him. Sonic would not be able to face me for the next few moments. Each one of those cubes was a different reality, each one held a different nightmare.

Sonic lays on the ground, screaming, kicking, but unable to get up. I weakly step over to him, nearly stumbling from exhaustion. I keep a few feet away from his flailing body, not wanting to be struck by one of his limbs.

"Now you see," I told him, "you are a privileged brat who was born with greatness. The true 'heroes' had to crawl to their position." Sonic screamed "no", and "get away", but his eyes were looking into the sky, unaware I was standing close to him. Mind in a completely different reality. But I knew he could hear my voice.

I was silent for a moment. "You wonder why the casualties in these wars are so drastic? Why all these lives are lost?" I glare down at Sonic. "They are merely trying to make a living, and they die in the crossfires of your war!"

He was born a hero, with everything handed to him... And I lost everything to get to where I am now. That's the difference in him and I.

It's not fair.

Something takes hold of me, I couldn't move. A bright glow takes over my body, a tingling sensation accompanied. A figure coated in the light comes to sit down next to Sonic. Silver. He stares worriedly at Sonic, unsure what was happening to the blue Hedgehog, and uncertain how to take action.

Silver looks up at me. "What have you done to him?!" he demands, though his tone isn't particularly threatening. Silver never seemed that intimidating. Even though I am encased in his telekinesis, the opinion remains the same.

I felt freedom of movement above my neck, but I didn't say a word, trying to summon enough energy to make Silver experience his worst nightmares like the other Hedgehogs. My eyes find the stitches still in his side. A weakness.

Silver tries to calm Sonic, but Sonic doesn't even acknowledge that Silver was there. When Silver tried to restrain his flailing arms, he got smacked across the face, hard.

He nearly fell over; Silver was obviously shocked. The light disappeared for just a second, but that was all I needed. I tried to summon my abilities back, but it only caused my head to reel more, and my eyes to fail. I quickly stopped, then my eyesight returned slowly. But not fast enough for me.

I did not risk being ensnared again, I dashed towards Silver. I grabbed one of his arms quickly, I pulled it abruptly. Silver yelled out in pain as a strange crack escaped his shoulder. I lifted the dislocated arm above his side, revealing the stitches. I quickly dug my free hand into the wires zigzagging into flesh. My nails tear into it, I pull. I pull until the wound is wide open. Silver screams out in agony.

I let him drop to the metal ground, hand held over the opened wound that was gushing red liquid. Silver's left arm lay motionless by his side.

I look down at my hand, blood trickled down my palm, covering my nails like paint. My head twitches, and a painful glitch tears apart my hand before, just as quickly, reforming it. My vision was darkening again.

I need an adrenaline rush, I think, weakness taking its toll on my body again.

I bring the bloody hand to the back of my arm, I dig my claws into my flesh, I don't scream, but grind my teeth together. My fingers run lines down my arm, then pain widens my eyes, and hypervigilance casts its spell on me. I look back up to the Hedgehogs.
