Neutral Charges {Sequel/ Sonourge}

ELEVEN

__Scourge's right side slammed against the wet grass. He groaned as he tried to stand up. This hasn't gotten any easier. Buck then ran up to Scourge and started licking his face happily. Scourge sat up and pushed the dog away. "God dammit! Stop doing that!" He then stood up and looked at Sonic. "You gotta break that out of him."
__Sonic rolled his eyes. "I think I'll focus on making sure he doesn't bite into people's flesh first." He then smirked.
__Scourge giggled and started scanning the area. They were right back at their house. He felt relief take over his body as he started walking towards the front door. "For real, though. I'm fucking starving."
__Sonic followed after Scourge with Buck tailing him. He looked at Scourge when he was next to him. "Did they not feed you?" He asked worriedly.
__"I don't think they planned to," Scourge muttered exhaustedly. "If I'm being honest, I think they were going to let me rot in that cell."
__Sonic had put his hand on the doorknob and froze. His eyes went wide as he flattened his ears. "They put you in a cell?"
__Scourge nodded. "Yeah, but it's nothing I haven't been through before."
__"How'd you get out?"
__Scourge grinned and put his glasses over his eyes. "Buns helped me out for some stupid reason."
__Sonic grinned as well and looked at the door. "Buns...of course. She's better than all them over there."
__Scourge crossed his arms and looked away. "Y-yeah..."
__"Well, let's get on back inside and make lunch," Sonic said as he opened the door. He looked down at Buck and and bent his knees as he leaned forward. "C'mon, Buck! Inside!" He smiled and watched Buck run inside. He then looked at Scourge with love in his eyes. "I think you and Buck need to wash up."
__Scourge looked down at his bloody hands before he walked into the house. He looked down at Buck and put his glasses over his eyes as he gazed at the blood all over his muzzle. "Let's go to the bathroom, boy." Scourge then followed Buck the the only bathroom in the first floor and shut the door behind him. He took off his gloves and looked at himself in the mirror. He could see the fainted blood on his left cheek where Buck had licked him before. He sighed as he grabbed a clean rag and turned on the sink. "You sure as hell know what you're doing, Buck," He muttered.
__Buck didn't seem to hear as he started smelling the floor. He stuck his head behind the toilet and pulled his head back with an old red rubber ball in his mouth. He then started making happy noises as he sat down at looked at a Scourge.
__"Oh, you found it, huh?" Scourge grinned as Buck dropped the ball and started wagging his tail. "We'll play later. I need to get your mouth cleaned up."
__Scourge knelt down on both knees and started wiping down Buck's mouth with the wet rag. Once he was finished, he stood up and grabbed the ball. He set the towel on the counter and opened the door. He then squeezed the ball, which squeaked, and threw it out of the bathroom. "Go get it!"
__Buck began barking in delight as he ran out and started chasing the ball. Scourge stifled his laughter as he shut the door again. Love that dog. He grabbed another wet towel and started wiping the blood off of his cheek. After he was done, he began washing his hands in the sink. I can't believe I did that to Miles.

__Scourge was going through Sonic's closet later that night. Sonic had left earlier to go talk with the Freedom Fighters about the situation with Moebius. Scourge didn't want to be a part of it, so he stayed home. He ended up getting bored and tried to see what he could find in Sonic's closet.
__Scourge pulled out Sonic's old bracelet from one of his boxes and examined. It was a gray ring-like bracelet with a green sphere gem on it. Scourge remembered that Sonic had said he got this from an old friend he called Chip. He put the bracelet back and began digging through everything again. While pushing the boxes around, he heard a clink and turned to see what it was. An old looking sword had slammed onto a metal baseball bat.
__"Hey, that ain't a toy," Scourge muttered suspiciously. When they were moving Sonic had told Scourge that this sword was a toy, but Scourge had a closer look now and could tell it was real. He got closer and examined the sword's features. It was large and had a color scheme of gold, silver, bronze, and ruby. He narrowed his eyes as he noticed something like a face on the sword. "What kind of sword is this?" He began tapping the sword's face-like surface. "Why would Sonic call you a toy?"
__Green eyes suddenly opened from the sword. It bounced once and started yelling. "Egad! What is this nonsense!?"
__Scourge yelled out as he bounced back from the sword, hitting his quill on the boxes. He stared at the sword with wide eyes as it blinked confusingly at him. "What the hell!?"
__The sword looked at him and narrowed its eyes. "Who the devil are you!?"
__"Who am I? Who are you!?" Scourge stood up and backed away from the sword.
__The sword sighed. "I am Caliburn, one of the legendary swords from the world of Camelot. Now who might you be?" Caliburn's eyes moved from top to bottom as he examined Scourge. "And what in the world is your attire? I've never seen anything of the sort."
__Scourge hesitated before he replied. "Uh...I'm Scourge?" Am I talking to a sword? He then examined Caliburn again. "Wait, you're Caliburn? I thought the history of King Arthur was a myth and on Earth even."
__"Bah! You speak nonsense!" Calinurn retorted. "I am real as you can see. Scourge, was it? Why have you disturbed my slumber?"
__"Slumber?" Scourge tilted his head. "What do you mean?"
__"Sir Sonic kept me with him and promised to only wake me up if there was an emergency that involved a sword fight."
__"Sonic knows how to use a sword!?" Scourge asked in disbelief.
__"He became an expert once he obtained me," Caliburn gloated. "And if I'm correct, this is Sonic's house. Why are you here?"
__"Uh because I live here!" Scourge crossed his arms. "I'm Sonic's boyfriend."
__"You're a friend of Sonic?"
__"What? No!" Scourge rolled his eyes and shook his head. What's an old timey word for boyfriend again? He sighed and narrowed his eyes. "I'm his...beau..."
__The sword suddenly bounced. "What!? But you are male! Such things are punishable by death!"
__Scourge groaned and flattened his ears. "Maybe back in the olden days, but it's acceptable now," He then looked away from the sword. "I mean people who are serious christians still hate us," He muttered.
__Caliburn rolled his eyes before he readjusted himself. "Aye, I guess that's so. Prithee, leave me now. I was only to be wakened if Sonic needed me. Do not tell him about this. I made him promise to keep me a secret from anyone he knows." He then closed his eyes and mouth and he looked like a normal old sword again.
__Scourge stood there, trying to comprehend what had just happened. He turned off the light and retreated from closet. He quickly shut the door and fled from the bedroom. Why does Sonic need a talking sword sleeping in his closet!?
