Faces and masks: City of Fear

Chapter 5 - ("Meeting Sonic, that is, God" - Part 1)

Emily's POV

When we went outside, it was raining to our surprise and disappointment. It was dark, although it should be 4 p.m. at least, or even lunch. But it feels like evening. Or maybe he did. How long have we been like this?

But we went on regardless of the rain. Although, I didn't feel very good when the raindrops fell on me. Although I'm only wearing a dress, I'm not very cold, because my element is fire, but it makes me feel worse. Water conquers fire. On the way, I untied the braid and the hair fell loose on my back, sticking to my neck, nape, cheeks, forehead and collarbone. In General, to all open parts of the body, except the arm and legs. Well, at least in boots.

I tied a handkerchief over my head and looked at the guys. Sally pulled the hood of his dark hoodie over his head, but Larry walked on in silence. His eyes were a little empty, and the bruises beneath them seemed to darken into bags. I felt very excited for him. It's hard for me to see our Larry like this.

Sally walked briskly beside me, leaping through the puddles in the grass and laughing, quite oblivious to the fact that her shoes were soaked, as was the rest of her dress, and her matted hair covered her face. I quickened my pace, intending to go over to Larry and cheer him up a little, but...

Suddenly the familiar Tails Doll popped up in front of us. His fur had gone from orange to scarlet, and the raindrops were blurring the blood that covered him. He snapped his sharp, blood-stained teeth. I cried out in surprise, then hissed, stretching my arms out in front of me. Their fingernails had grown and sharpened. Let him touch her. I have already threatened to strike.

"Emily! Sally shouted, standing in front of me, arms outstretched. I immediately lowered my clawed limb, staring in fear and surprise at his back.

"Sally?" What are you doing? Stand back or he'll kill you! I screamed in fright, but the little thing was already gone. We just had to follow her with our eyes. I sighed softly, brushing the wet red strands from my face and returning my hand to normal. "Damn it...

— A-Ah! Oh my God! I'm really scared right now! Larry's voice was hysterical again. Sally and I began to Pat him on the shoulders, trying to calm him down a little, but he was shaking all over, clutching his head, while Sally watched us in silence and wonder. What's wrong with this kid?

"What...?" Is the Tails doll real? It's impossible! the brown-haired woman shook her head from side to side. — It's a video game character! Like sonic or Mario! They don't exist!

— I'm not so sure about all this right now!" If the Tails Doll exists, there's a chance we'll meet other creepy characters like Eggman or whatever. Sally said shakily, putting his arm around both of us. It seems that his psyche is beginning to gradually surrender. He is, of course, the calmest of our company and the easiest to survive all this, but ... Sally is not iron either!

I hugged him back, pressing his ear to his chest and listening to the frantic beating of his heart. It is! He's very, very scared! I squeezed his sweatshirt between my fingers. Anger boiled inside her. I won't let any of these things hurt them!

— If Eggman or anyone else shows up right here and now, I'm going to laugh out loud!" "Oh, Yes," she said happily, but then she became serious. — But if tails really exists, then we must find and save His poor soul!"

"Sally?" Do you... feel it too? Are you psychic? I asked, squatting in front of her and looking into her green eyes. She nodded with a smile.

— If you've read the kripipasta as well as I have, you should know that creatures like them don't even have souls!" Larry frowned, his voice still raised. — I think if we meet him again, we'll just kill him!" That's all! Emily, you can handle him, right?
