Captured

A friendly face?

Chapter 2

As so hours went by, thoose hours were slow, spend mostly caged in,rarely seeing a friendly face,rarely being fed, rearely being let out. Theese hours stretched deliverately slowly into days into weeks. I spend this time sleeping mostly, but in the back of my head scenes played causing me to worry. To fear. I had a good feeling that my friends were alive, but it didn't stop my imagination. Some times thoose visions in my head played in my sleep, all too vivid and all to real. I'd wake up in a cold sweat and heart pounding in my chest.

However I told my self one thing, someone was comming. Someone would get me out. It was going to be okay. So,I practiced patience. It was something I never tried, something I never had time for. Each day I got better, but the silence was killing my ears, It was tiring, and extremely hard, especially since I spend most of my time moving, at super fast speeds, no les. Yet I had no distractions, at least not during my so called "meditations" I heard faint voices,someone shouting.

I stood up so fast that my chains wrapped around my shoe and I tripped.

Ow...I thought, grimacing as I stood, that's the second time that's happened. My heart beat fast as I gripped the bars once again, staring at the entrance intensly. Who is it. Come on. Who is it?!

Shadows moved along the corridor, the voices now silenced for some odd reason. I didn't have long to guess, because the struggler had Finnaly reached the room. He was a white arctic wolf with brown specks on his fur.he looked in the Middle Ages, and soot, scars, and tufts of fur stuck out. He was struggling against metal, until he glanced over at me. He stopped entirely when he did. Mouth agape and disbelief on his face.

I swear dropped, nervously gulping.

We kept our eyes locked together as metal pushed him around,towards me. I heard the cell door next to me open, him giving a grunt when he was pushed through,and the door closing once more.

Then metal was in front of me "Eggman has instructed some company"he told me "he will only have a few weeks to live. Then he might just disappear. Reason: attempting to fight back the Eggman empire" he turned and left as soon as he finished.

It took me a minute to process what he just said. My eyes windeded once it did. No way....is he serious?

I looked over at a wall next to me, but instead of a wall,there were bars. The wolf stared back at me wait a certain awkwardness, yet with also a look if he was trying to solve a difficult maths problem.

"....sonic...."he finally whispered.

I nodded curiously.

"We thought...you...when"he gulped, though his yellow eyes glowed with excitement.

We both seemed to be lost for words.i forced my self out of my own shock.and slowly walked over.he did the same but a bit quicker.we both grasped the bars and stared eye to eye. It might have been the most akwardest thing I have ever done, but at the moment that was the very least of my worries.

Finnaly, he found words"your..alive!"

My heart dropped slightly. "...you thought I was dead?"

"Yes,well not me personally" he corrected himself quickly. "But tails had said—"

"Tails?"- I interupted, heart jumping in my chest at his name. "H-he's Alive? They're all okay????."

"Yeah" he replied with a grin, then leaned in and whispered. "They've made a resistance,and right under eggheads nose, there have been rumours that they'll carry out theyre next plans in a few days"

My mouth split into a wide grin as happiness exploded inside me. "That's....thats great!!" I cried "who's the leader"

"Heh, your going to find this funny but knuckles is the commander"

"Knuckles??? No way!"

"That's what I said at first. But he's done a pretty good job"

"But" I stammered "what about the master emerald?"

"Somewhere in the HQ. He won't tell anybody where it is because of safety prosecutions.he dosent want anyone slip it's location."

Huh.......I thought impressed......that's pretty good...

"What about the others?" I asked "what are they up to?"

"All in the resistance" he responded " the chaotix are helping in the army part of it. Amy's in charge of keeping the contact and files of recruits. Silver is on the lookout for any baddies. You know shadow and them. Team dark... we'll just Rouge is left of them" he says softly

I blinked "what about omega?"

The wolf hesitated to answer. "...he was found in a pile not far off from green hill zone Not to long ago..."

"...oh.." I responded

I didn't have much to say about the robot;we were on neutral terms. But to the team as a whole....that would be only devastating to...rouge...

I let the silence drag on a bit "..what about tails?i would have expected to jump at the chance of being a leader"

He gave a smile.. "so did everybody else.but the poor kid is devastated,ever since you were dragged away a few weeks ago. He's not joining the resistance any time soon. plus he's trying really hard to fix up omega, he's really over working himself and stressed"

Tailses imagine flashed in the back of my mind as sympathy crawled through me.the happy mood that I gained before was vanished. There was always bad news after the good news...

"Your capture affected all of us.." the wolf said gently as he was reading my mind."you meant a lot than just your friends" he gave a laugh "why I told you that you probably arleady know, I have no idea.but now that I know your alive we will get through this"

I looked up at him, and tried to smile,but what came out was a grimace. "That's uh...Great and all..but it still makes me feel guilty. I am not doing anything to help. And it feels like this is all my fault. I let my guard down.i thought I could take them all by my self,like I would've done before.but, as you can tell,I've been proven wrong. so because of that here I am..behind bars"

"Well" he said thoughtfully after a bit "that just seems like you want to find reasons to blame yourself"

I gave a small, mirthless chuckle. "I dunno.maybe I am...who knows" I looked back up at him "I just realised something... I never actually got your name"

The wolf grinned. As if to say it was about time

"Names Alister. Alister Mcmays"
