[DISCONTINUED] Heroes Begin (A Sonic Fan Fiction)

Chapter 17

I'm gonna start putting the date it is in the story because I think I messed up big time on the time here. I look back and nothing really makes sense to me. So yeah, I'm gonna try not to mess it up any more than it already is.

September 19th 2014 9:35 a.m.

Raven/Rachel POV:

Finally, I picked out the perfect outfit. It's a grey Three Days Grace t-shirt, dark skinny jeans, and a pair of grey Vans. I also topped it off with a black jacket. I looked at myself in the mirror and messed with my hair. I straightened it earlier and it already started to get wavy. I didn't care to fight with it anymore so I let it be. I looked at the time and realized it was 9:35 am! I needed to get there by 9:40!

I rushed down the stairs and tripped over sonic's extra pair of shoes. I mumbled a few curse words as I got up. I could tell that he left already by an empty plate with a few drops of chili left. The last week I've been here, I noticed Sonic never leaves a chili dog uneaten. I didn't think about it any more because I really didn't want to be late. I hoped in my car and headed down town. Once I parked across from the Chao Cafe, I looked at the time again. 9:46.

I walked into the Cafe and noticed it was quite hot inside. Once I ordered a Latte, I sat down at the table by the bay window and took off my jacket. I was surprised not to see Shadow there, even though I was late. I sat there for awhile waiting for him, but he never showed. I started to wonder if he left because I wasn't here on time. Or he just set me up and wanted to make a joke out of me. I was ripped out of my thoughts by a waitress.

"Ma'am, would you like another Latte?" She asked. She was a white cat with long black hair. Though, it was pulled up into a ponytail. She was wearing a pair of light jeans, a black collared shirt, and a light brown apron. I read her name tag; Samantha.

"Oh, uh no thank you." I looked down at my phone and saw it was 10:12. Then out of the corner of my eye, I noticed someone walking by. Thinking it was Shadow, I quickly looked over. Only to see it was Sonic. We both looked at each other through the window until he walked over to the door. He came in and sat down on the other side of the table.

"So, I thought you were hanging with Amy?"

"Uh, I, um... just got done and decided to get a drink..."

"Oh really?" He gave me a smirk.

"Yes, really." I quickly looked out the window again as I saw someone else walking by and looked back at Sonic.

"Well, to me it looks like you're waiting for someone," he leaned in a bit towards me, "let me guess, you're waiting for Shadow?"

"No! Why would you say that!?"

"Rachel, I know you you're dating Shadow. I could just tell by the way you kissed him that night at Amy's. And he wouldn't just have a random girl surprise kiss him without shooting her."

"So...." I crossed my arms and stared at him.

"I just wanna know why you would love him. He's so rude to everyone. He won't even speak a word to me! I'm just worried for you because...."

"Because what...." I sharply said.

"Because you can't trust Shadow. Even though he's told to do something, he just does it his own way! I just don't want you to get hurt." he starts to reach across the table and holds my hand.

Now, I'm on the verge of tears. How could be so rude towards Shadow. I knew he went his own way by playing video games in the past but you could always rely on him. I think.... but I couldn't stand to listen to him anymore.

"You know what," I jerked my hand away from his and stood up, "Maybe he doesn't talk to you because your a f*cking annoying jerk!"

I stormed out of the cafe with a couple tears rolling down my cheek. I fast walked towards my car, trying to avoid attention. Then, I could hear Sonic rush out.

"Rachel wait!"

I turn around to face him across the street. I see he has my jacket that I left behind. Though, I don't care about that. I just wanna drive away from this awful time and forget all about it.

"No! I can't bear to listen to another word you say! Just leave me alone!" My voice started to get drowned in my tears. I never really cry about anything but this, I couldn't hold them back.

Then suddenly, I hear a spine tingling voice call my name.

"Raven, my dear.~ "

Carly POV:

I swear, we are all going crazy. I can't think straight, Ashley hasn't spoke a word since the sticky buns, Emilee can't sleep, and Baylee...oh god Baylee.

She caught a cold or something {EBOLA JKJK xD} and she puked all over the floor this morning. Let me tell ya, Mephiles wasn't in a good mood today and he sure didn't want to clean up that. He took her out of the room and about 30 minutes later she came back..

We tried asking her what happened but she didn't say anything. She just zoned out and looked into space or something. After awhile she kinda passed out on the bed and we couldn't wake her up. We all started to get scared knowing that he did something to her. Maybe he poisoned or drugged her. I don't really know, but what ever put her into that deep of sleep, had to be strong.

 I tried to comfort Emilee and Ashley but it wasn't doing much good. They either ignored me or told me they were fine. But one thing I know, is that none of us are "fine". We are basically dying of fear and curiosity. We need to know what's happening. Anyway, I stopped trying to comfort them and started to look at the room more closely.

I could feel the air getting warmer when ever I sat on the couch to the far left. But if warm air was coming in, wouldn't it need a place to come through? I started to move the couch over so I could see what was under it. I didn't care how much noise I made because I knew he left the house awhile ago.

"What are you doing?" Emilee asked yawning.

I looked over to her on the bunk bed. I could tell she was trying to sleep, but sleep was not coming to her. She had bags under her eyes and her messy bun was coming out.

"Just doing some home renovation." I rolled my eyes and tried to give a fake laugh to lighten the mood. Though, it was pretty weak. Soon enough, my attention went back to the couch.

Once I got the couch out of the way, I stood in awe.

"What did you find?" Emilee piped up again. I looked over to her and saw she was fixing her hair.

"Our way out."
