Это альтернативная вселенная, в которой Соник и Салли погибли, и за их детьми (мои оригинальные персонажи: Сэмми и Элли) присматривает молодой изобретатель лис Тейлз, который был ежу как младший брат. На написание этого фанфика меня вдохновил трогательный момент из мультфильма "Как приручить дракона 3", где Старик рассказывал маленькому Иккингу о любви к его матери.
Это была обычная ночь. Стоял конец августа.
На тёмном небе светили звёзды, сияла луна. В лесу было слышно пение сверчков и далёкое уханье одинокой совы, а в воздухе летали маленькими огоньками света светлячки.
Ночное умиротворение природы нарушили чьи-то шуршащие по траве шаги. Они принадлежали одному двухвостому молодому лису.
Его золотистая пушистая шерсть в лунном свете казалась
бледно-золотистой. А лёгкий прохладный ветерок ерошил его шерсть.
Это был Майлз Прауэр, ещё известный для друзей как Тейлз.
Двухвостый лис неспеша шёл к одному знакомому месту, где он хотел побыть в одиночестве. Этим уединённым местом был небольшой утёс, выходящий за пределами леса, и на котором рос одинокий дуб.
Выйдя из леса, лис расположился у корней дерева и посмотрел на небо.
Тейлз обычно любил поработать допоздна в своей мастерской, но в этот раз он решил отдохнуть от своих обычных дел и просто уединиться и поразмышлять о своём.
Он грустно вздохнул. Это место для размышления он выбрал не просто так. Здесь, на этом самом месте, он часто сидел с Соником.
Он помнил, как был очень одинок, пока не встретил синего бегающего со сверхзвуковой скоростью ежа, который стал маленькому двухвостому лисёнку лучшим другом, а позже и любящим старшим братом.
Тейлз и Соник были не разлей вода. Они почти всегда всё делали вместе: веселились, вместе проводили время, сражались со злодеями и спасали мир.
А спустя некоторое время Соник женился на бурундучихе Салли Акорн, которая была лидером отряда Борцов за свободу, борющимся с роботами их злейшего врага, гениального учёного по имени доктор Эггман.
Этот злодей постоянно стремился захватить мир. Но Соник, Тейлз и их друзья всегда мешали ему осуществить свои коварные планы по захвату мира.
И как бы этот злой усатый учёный не злился и не угрожал, Соник с командой всегда его побеждали.
Но в один день злодею таки удалось осуществить один план, последствия которого до сих пор потрясают. Эггман смог убить синего ежа, заманив к себе на базу, но при этом и сам погибнув в этой битве…
Тот день стал самым страшным в жизни Майлза. Он не мог поверить в случившееся, даже когда увидел мёртвое тело его старшего брата. Соник стал очень близок юному лису, был его семьёй, которой так не хватало двухвостому изобретателю, и опорой для него. Но и это было не самое худшее…
Ещё до своей смерти, во время сражения Соник попросил Тейлза об одной услуге:
— Тейлз, если я не смогу вернуться, то пообещай мне, пожалуйста, выполнить мою просьбу. Пожалуйста, присмотри за Сэл и малышами, хорошо? Если тебе будет тяжело, то остальные помогут тебе. Но доверить это, могу я только тебе, Тейлз! Ведь ты крёстный отец для моих детей! Ты обещаешь мне, Тейлз?
— Обещаю, — промолвил тогда ему лис, хотя и хотел добавить: «Зачем ты такое говоришь? Как ты можешь не вернуться? Мы же всегда побеждали злодеев, всегда выходили победителями, почему здесь не сможем? Разве ты не нужен Салли и детям?»
Но ёж умчался за Эггманом, а потом он погиб, забрав с собой и жизнь заклятого врага.
Неизвестно, знал ли Соник, что это была его последняя битва с врагом, либо же просто предполагал, но этого Тейлз теперь не узнает…
Но помимо этого на молодого лиса обрушилась и другая трагедия, произошедшая в этот же день…
У Салли начались преждевременные роды. Её доставили в роддом, врачи пытались спасти её и малышей. И если малюток сумели спасти, то Салли — нет. Она потеряла слишком много крови, да и роды были тяжёлыми.
Близнецы — единственное, что осталось от Соника и Салли. И несмотря на огромное горе, лис старался быть сильным, хотя бы ради малышей, в память о своих друзьях…
От этих мыслей Тейлза отвлёк треск ветки. Обернувшись, он никого не увидел.
— Сэмми, это ты? — задал вопрос лис, хотя и так понял, кто прятался в кустах. В ответ была тишина.
— Давай. Выходи и не прячься. Я же знаю, что это ты, Сэмми.
После его слов из укрытия показался маленький семилетний синий ежонок с коричневыми полосами на иглах и руках. Он смущённо взглянул на Тейлза своими изумрудно-зелёными большими глазами.
— А как ты понял, что это я? — неуверенно спросил малыш.
— Догадался, — усмехнувшись, ответил ему тот. Но затем Тейлз строго посмотрел на него.
— А ты почему не спишь в такой час?
— Мне… Мне просто не спалось… — робко ответил мальчик.
Лис, смягчившись в лице, затем позвал его:
— Давай. Иди сюда.
Сэмми зашагал в сторону лиса и присел рядом.
Едва подул ветерок, как малыш слегка задрожал. У него была короткая шёрстка, которая пока не могла защитить его от холода, тогда Тейлз прикрыл ежонка одним из своих пушистых хвостов, словно тёплым одеялом.
Сэмми взглянул на того с благодарностью, а тот улыбнулся ему, после чего вновь устремил свой взгляд на небо.
Эти двое некоторые время молчали. Но затем тишину прервал Сэмми:
— Эм… Дядя Тейлз?
— Да, Сэмми?
— Скажи… А я… Я и Элли похожи на родителей?
— А? — не понял его Тейлз.
— Ну… Просто ты как-то странно смотришь на меня и сестрёнку, будто кого-то других видишь… Я похож на отца, а Элли — на маму, да?
Тейлз окинул детёныша взглядом.
Сэмми действительно чем-то напоминал лису Соника: такие же иглы, опущенные вниз, те же изумрудно-зелёные глаза, синяя шёрстка. Но в то же время малыш унаследовал и коричневую шёрстку от матери, выделяющуюся на основной синей шерсти в виде полос на иглах и руках, а также кончиках ушей и пушистого короткого хвоста. По сравнению с обычными ежами, Сэмми был не столько колючим, сколько мягким и пушистым на ощупь. А может, его иголки просто ещё не стали острыми?
А сестра близнец Сэмми, Элли, чем-то была похожа на Салли. Она унаследовала от неё синие глаза, основный цвет пушистой шерсти и даже её тёмно-красные волосы в виде чёлки, а от отца ей достались иглы на голове и немного синей шерсти на иглах тоже в виде полос.
Спустя пару минут Тейлз наконец ответил ежонку:
— Ох, извини. Я не думал, что буду вас этим смущать, — с этими словами он смущённо почесал затылок, а после продолжил:
— Да, ты чем-то похож на своего отца, а Элли — на маму. Но к чему этот вопрос?
— Мне просто захотелось узнать, а какими они были, когда… Когда были живы...
— А разве я не рассказывал вам о них?
— Ну, расскажи, пожалуйста, ещё раз.
— Хорошо. Твой отец был очень храбрым ежом. Он был самым быстрым существом в мире. Был очень ловок и силён. А также был большим оптимистом. Бывало, конечно, что он не уместно шутил или действовал, тщательно не обдумав свои действия… Но никто же не идеален, верно? Соник был мне как старший брат, которого я любил и уважал. А Салли была очень хорошим стратегом. Она была умной и красивой. Была прекрасным лидером Борцов за свободу. Её тоже любили и уважали.
— А они погибли в один день, да?
Этот вопрос Тейлз не ожидал услышать. Он не понимал, откуда малыш мог такое услышать. Однако отрицать он не стал, поскольку если мальчику ответить «нет», то тот всё равно откуда-то да узнает ответ. Лучше уж сказать правду…
— Да.
— И я с Элли родились в тот день, когда их не стало?
— Зачем ты это спрашиваешь?
— Просто у меня возникла мысль… Если бы я и сестрёнка не родились, то… То остались бы живы наши родители?
— Что за глупости? Как тебе такая мысль в голову только пришла? — в шоке спросил его Тейлз.
— Ну… Мне приснились мама с папой… Я, Элли и мама с папой были одной счастливой семьёй, но… Но потом они исчезли, и я с Элли остались одни… Мы виноваты в том, что мамы с папой не стало? — после этих слов Сэмми всхлипнул. Тейлз придвинул его поближе к себе.
— Нет, нет! Вы ни в чём не виноваты. Просто… Просто так сложилась судьба… — пытаясь успокоить, прошептал двухвостый лис.
— К тому же… Во сне увидеть исчезнувших родителей — это было так тяжёло… Может, и хорошо, что мы с Элли их не знаем, ведь тогда было бы очень больно… Лучше уж жить, не зная о любви, чем жить с нею… — продолжил малыш, плача.
Тейлз был в ещё большем шоке, услышав такие слова. Он сам, когда был очень маленьким, точно так не размышлял! Он хотел, чтобы его родители были рядом.
К счастью, он встретил Соника, который дал ему семью.
И насколько он сам знал, у Соника так таковой семьи тоже не было… Из родственников у ежа был дядя Чак, который вырастил и воспитал своего племянника.
Но ругать ежонка за такие слова Тейлз не стал, вместо этого, нежно поглаживая его по голове, он сказал:
— Ты думаешь, что жить без любви лучше, чем жить с ней? Увы, но ты ошибаешься, малыш. Жизнь без любви — значит, жизнь без счастья, а жизнь без счастья — жизнь впустую. Я любил твоего отца как брата, который был готов меня и всех нас спасти от любой беды. Его никто не сможет заменить. Но где любовь, там и разлука, Сэмми. Такова жизнь. Поначалу это больно, но со временем понимаешь, оно того стоило, — после сказанного лис подмигнул малышу, уже переставшему в это время плакать, а затем продолжил:
— Поэтому хорошенько запомни, Сэмми: «Нет большего счастья, чем любовь».
— Дядя Тейлз? — робко обратился к нему Сэмми.
— Да?
— Хоть я и Элли не знали родителей, но… Но нам повезло, что у нас есть ты, дядя Тейлз. Ты стал для нас замечательным отцом.
Тейлз был так тронут словами своего подопечного, что аж прослезился. Заметив это, мальчик забеспокоился за своего опекуна:
— Дядя Тейлз, с тобой всё хорошо?
— Да, да. Просто… Просто что-то в глаза попало, вот и всё, — усмехнулся он, вытирая слёзы.
— Точно всё хорошо?
— Да, Сэмми. Всё хорошо. А знаешь что?
— Что?
— Мне повезло, что у меня есть ты и Элли. Вы оба для меня как мои собственные дети, которые сделали одного лиса очень счастливым, — и после этого Тейлз, сгрёб к себе ежонка и взъерошил тому макушку.
— Хехе. Дядя Тейлз! Ну щекотно же! Хехе. Хватит! — засмеялся Сэмми. А когда его отпустили, то малыш прижался к нему.
— Я люблю тебя, дядя Тейлз, — сказал ежонок, а затем сладко засопел.
Тейлз, глядя на спящего подопечного, нежно улыбнулся, после чего он взял его на руки и поцеловал в лоб.
— Я тоже тебя люблю, Сэмми, — прошептал ему лис.
Малыш же продолжал сопеть и прижался к тёплому и такому родному для него лисьему меху.
Лис осторожно встал, дабы не разбудить спящего ребёнка, и направился домой. Но затем он внезапно остановился. Ему показалось, будто кто-то его позвал.
Может, это был просто ветер?
Тем не менее, Тейлз обернулся. И от увиденного он разинул рот.
— Соник? — только и смог произнести он.
Перед его глазами стоял силуэт некоего зеленоглазого ежа. Лунный свет проходил сквозь него, отчего тот казался еле видимым.
Однако по такому знакомому виду, по этому задорному взгляду и этой лучезарной жизнерадостной и весёлой улыбке было бы невозможно не узнать в этом еже Соника. И Тейлз узнал в нём своего лучшего друга.
— Спасибо тебе, Тейлз, — прошептал Соник, на что лис ему кивнул, и затем ёж исчез.
Тейлз постоял ещё несколько минут, но вспомнив о ребёнке, прижимающимся к его груди, он, тихонько усмехнувшись, пошёл домой.
Warning: there is blood and horror in this fanfiction! It is recommended to read the story from the age of +12!
I was inspired to write fan fiction by the cartoon "Coraline".
As soon as Tails woke up, he felt as if there was a fog in his head. She seemed so heavy that I wanted to put her back on the pillow, close my eyes and sleep for a couple more hours. My vision was slightly blurred.
But still, the golden two-tailed fox cub got up and got off the bed, because he must have slept for a very long time.
Yes, that's the way it is. Outside the window, the sun was already at its zenith. Tails had been asleep for quite some time. Although he usually got up much earlier. Why didn't the alarm clock wake him up? Is it broken?
The fox looked at the bedside table that always stood next to the bed.
Weird… There was no alarm clock… Maybe Sonic took it away to let him sleep it off?
Here the fox cub winced a little, as he remembered a recent quarrel with his best friend and older brother, Sonic the blue hedgehog.
— Tails, how much can I do?! When will you stop sitting and working at night? It's bad for your body! — the hedgehog shouted at him then.
— But, Sonic, with this new Tornado generator, it will be able to fly even faster! I just have to finish working on it!
— Tails, do you see what time it is? You should have been sleeping in your bed and watching the seventh dream by now!
— Don't tell me what I should and shouldn't do! I decide for myself what is better for me! Tails shouted back at him.
— Tails, I'm your friend and brother, I'm worried about you! You're still too young, and you need to think about your health!
— I'd rather take care of my own! And stop patronizing me so much! I'm not small anymore! — the fox cub shouted, but still went to his room. — And you're nobody to control me!
Now, Tails felt slightly guilty that he had behaved this way towards his best friend, because he really just cared about him and worried about him.
— Taaaaaaaiiils! — soon he heard a familiar voice. — Are you awake? I've made you something to eat.
—Yes, I'm on my way, — Tails replied, and left his room and headed for the stairs. "Hmm... it seems to me, or has the house... changed?.." he suddenly thought, looking at the walls. — "I don't remember me and Sonic painting the walls again… At least the other day..." — and when he went downstairs, he saw various awards and certificates dedicated to him, which involuntarily confused the boy. After all, he remembered for sure that on the wall in the corridor, as well as in the glass cabinet on the ground floor, there were no awards and thanks from him. "Where did all this come from? Or am I still asleep?" he mused as he walked towards the kitchen. A pleasant aroma soon wafted out, and Tails recognized the smell of fried eggs and bacon, which made him smile. But after a moment, he was slightly surprised. - "How strange… Sonic doesn't usually cook breakfast for me, that's what I do... and there were always chilidogs for my breakfast..." Then he noticed that flicky's bird had flown up to the window. It would seem that such a thing? Yes, but looking closer, Tails noticed that instead of the usual eyes, the bird had black buttons, which are usually made for plush toys. But how is this possible? And Flicki, it seems, got tired of sitting by the window and looking at the fox cub, and she fluttered away. Tails shook his head. "It seemed, probably… After all, there is no such thing..." — but his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the hedgehog:
— Taaaaaaaiils! Your breakfast will get cold soon! Sonic hurried him on.
— I'm coming! — and the little fox went into the kitchen. There was a plate of fried eggs and bacon on the table. Meanwhile, Sonic was frying his portion.
— Hello, my friend! How did you sleep? How are you feeling? — The hedgehog asked cheerfully and cheerfully.
— Hi, Sonic. I... I seemed to sleep well ... the mood ... is also quite good ... — the little fox answered a little uncertainly. He still felt guilty about his brother. — And how are you?
— Just fine, bro! I am sure that today will bring us a lot of joy and fun! — said Sonic. Tails nodded in agreement. Although it was a little strange to hear the last phrase of the hedgehog. Sonic, of course, is optimistic, but to say so…
Looking at his breakfast, Tails swallowed his saliva, it smelled so delicious. But his heart felt so heavy, as if there was a stone inside him. He should have apologized for his harsh and rude words to his brother.
— Sonic?.. Are you... not mad at me?..
"What are you talking about, Tails?" Sonic asked.
— Well... I was rude to you last night... and... you just can't imagine how ashamed I am…
—Oh, come on, Tails! I'm not offended! Whatever it is, I've already forgiven you!
— Really? Just like that? Tails asked incredulously.
— I've... said so many nasty things to you! But you were right that I shouldn't sit and work late, and I…
— What are you talking about, Tails! If you want to work on your inventions, then work for your health! Who am I to limit a genius inventor like you!
— Well ... I wouldn't call myself such a genius ... — the boy was embarrassed. — I just love inventing and working with mechanisms and machines…
— And you're doing it great, bro! You have an incredible mind and a wonderful talent! I'm lucky to have such a wonderful little brother!
— But… Sonic, you said yourself that for my..." he did not have time to finish, as he saw the same strange flicky with buttons instead of eyes again.
"What did I say, Tails?" Sonic asked, still standing with his back to me. And a small smoke came from the fried in the pan. It seems that the hedgehog somehow overdid his breakfast... or lunch, since it was already noon?
— Sonic, do you know what's wrong with flicky?
— Flicky? What kind of flicky?
— Well, he seems to have instead of ... — the fox cub glanced at the window where the bird had been recently, but now it was not there. — It doesn't matter. Haven't you already made yourself something to eat? Because... your scrambled eggs are burnt, I think…
— Oh, because I'm wondering where the smoke came from. Hehe. How forgetful I am," Sonic finally turned to his friend and put his portion on the table, opposite the fox cub. "Why don't you have breakfast yourself?" Come on, your food is getting cold, right?
— I don't think so.… I just wanted to talk first, and then start eating..." Tails looked down.
"Anyway, there's plenty of time, kid. I'm ready to listen to you all day," Sonic smiled at him.
"All day?" The boy frowned. — What about your run? Saving the world from... you-know-who?.. — He looked at the hedgehog and opened his mouth in fright.
"What is it, Tails?" Have I grown horns or a nose? Heh-heh-heh," he chuckled.
—Who are you...?". That's all Tails said.
— Who am I? — the hedgehog was surprised. — I'm Sonic. Your best friend and also your older brother. Or have you already forgotten that? Hehe.
— No, it's not… You're not Sonic..." Tails frowned, getting up from the table.
— Sonic doesn't have... — here his voice trembled, while the boy looked directly at the "Sonic", — bu ... bu…
— Buttons? — the hedgehog finished and smiled sweetly, poking his index finger right in his eyes. The pupils were green buttons located in the white whites of the eyes, but they also moved as if they were completely ordinary pupils in the eyes. Tails nodded and swallowed in fright, looking at his friend's doppelganger.
— Where's Sonic?.. Where is my brother?..
—Tails, Tails, Tails... — said Sonic, shaking his head. — I am Sonic. Your best friend. Your older brother.
— No, you're not him! Tails cried out. — The real Sonic doesn't have buttons in his eyes like you do! Answer me immediately, where did you put it? What did you do to him?
— Oh, Tails... — now the hedgehog got up from the table. — Don't you know that I am Sonic, only much better than the one you knew before? Didn't you want a perfect brother who would always understand and support you? That I would do anything for you?
— My Sonic may not be perfect, but he's still better than you, impostor! He also supports me in everything, tries to understand me and is also ready for anything! He just knows that sometimes boundaries and restrictions are needed somewhere! Even... if I don't like it, but it's the right thing to do! — He replied firmly. — So tell me where I am and bring me home?
— Tails, you're home so... — the hedgehog grinned. — But... still, you probably figured me out.… You are in Another world, but in a better and more perfect one than your real world. Here you will not need to worry about the forces of evil, because it does not exist in this world. Everyone lives in peace and harmony. Everyone is happy here. And all your various desires are being fulfilled. And isn't that wonderful, in your opinion?
— And if I want to go to my real world? Will this wish come true?
— And why fulfill this wish, kiddo? Your home world is too boring. Your "real" brother doesn't always listen to you, ignores you. There's always one villain or another trying to enslave the world… So stay here, little brother. I am sure that over time you will love this wonderful world.
— But what about Sonic? He's probably worried about me... And who, if not me, will help him? — Tails himself began to back away a little.
— Didn't he replace you with other people? Did you take someone else as a partner, even someone you don't know?
Tails involuntarily remembered that this really happened more than once, when others helped Sonic instead of a fox cub. Another Sonic, noticing the doubts in the boy's eyes, continued to press on this topic:
— And I will always need you. I will never leave you. All you have to do is agree to stay here, and this world will truly be your home.
— No, I don't agree! Tails snapped, glowering at the blue hedgehog with button eyes.
— What? — he was shocked.
— What did you hear! I remember that Sonic did this sometimes, but he didn't mean me any harm at all and didn't really want to offend me! He confessed to me that he was afraid for me when I almost died in one of the battles! But now I've become his partner again, and he'll never leave me in the shadows again, just know that!
The other Sonic, apparently, was beginning to lose patience, which already somehow restrained his anger:
— But you still deserve more, Tails! He doesn't appreciate you! Besides, here you will be a recognized and world-famous genius and scientist! Haven't you dreamed about this? Were you famous and popular in your world? — Tails remembered the certificates and awards he had seen. — Yes, and you like to invent! And your Sonic underestimated your potential and limited your capabilities! But that's not going to happen to me! Just agree, and you'll be the happiest child, I swear! — He insisted.
— My answer is the same! No! I want to go back to my real world! — The fox cub shouted. — Tell me where I can find a way out! Right now!
At first, the hedgehog just looked at him gloomily, keeping silent. And Tails felt a little uneasy.
— Oh... it looks like our little foxy wants to play, right? — Another Sonic hissed. His azure fur became darker, his needles longer and sharper, and his pupils turned from green to red. Tails trembled in fear. — Well... let's play my favorite game?.. — His mouth broke into a creepy, wide smile.
— In... what... is it?.. Two—tailed dared to ask.
— HIDE AND SEEK!!! — Another Sonic announced. — And the game starts right…
Tails took off on his tails and hurried out into the street.
— NOW!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!
Once outside, Tails saw how the once-blue sky turned scarlet, and the surroundings around him lost their bright colors. "Where is the exit? How do I get out of this nightmare?" he thought, not stopping working with his tails, and frantically looked around, trying to find something like a door or portal.
— Oh, yes ... I forgot to name some conditions ... — came the hissing voice of Another Sonic. But the fox cub could not understand where he was talking from, turning his head from side to side. — To make the game more interesting, you need to find a small cave in one forest. You will immediately understand what kind of cave it is, you will not confuse it with anything. But at the same time, you will have to try not to get caught by my assistants. If you go into that cave, you've won, and I'll let you go. And if not, and my assistants, or I will catch you myself, then you will stay with me... FOREVER AND EVER!!! AHAHAHAHA!!! — Another Sonic burst out laughing ominously. — Good luck, kid… You'll need it... AHAHAHAHA!!!
— The forest? What kind of forest? — Tails asked aloud, but they didn't give him time to think properly, when suddenly something attacked him with a loud cry. The fox cub somehow dodged the attacker, and then saw flicks, but only of a larger size and intimidating appearance, as a result of which the creature looked like a hybrid of a bird and a lizard. But what has remained unchanged is the buttons instead of the eyes. The creature screamed and launched another attack. The fox cub rushed forward, trying to get rid of its pursuer. But then, as luck would have it, other scary flicks appeared, gradually approaching him.
When the monsters were already very close, Tails dived down, thereby escaping from the feathered creatures, which collided with each other, forming one tangle, from where screams came and feathers began to fall out. Apparently, they decided to fight with each other. Well, this was in the boy's favor, and he hurried to fly away from them while they were busy. "These birds couldn't just attack me...", Tails reflected. "Most likely, they attacked so that I would not fly to where they came from... which means..." and it dawned on him. "So I was flying in the right direction! There's a way out!"
But then the cry came from behind him again.
"Oh, no! Those chickens again! We must hurry!" thought the little fox, speeding up. One by one, the winged monsters attacked the flying fox. Tails barely managed to dodge them and evade their attacks. But suddenly one of the birds scratched his hand with its claws. The boy cried out in pain. Taking advantage of his confusion, another bird grabbed him by the shoulders.
— Let me go! Let me go! Let me go, you brainless chicken! — Tails screamed, trying to escape from the claws, but they only tightened, blood ran from the wounds in drops. — THAT'S IT! YOU'VE MADE ME ANGRY! — Shouting, Tails twisted around and bit the monster on one of its paws, and it let out a heart—rending scream, after which it let go. The fox cub may have been free, but then another scary bird attacked him, he was knocked down, and Tails fell down. On the way, he bumped into something, he was scratched all over, until finally he fell to the soft ground.
— Find the boy...— Tails heard after a while, coming to his senses. His body ached and his wounds burned with fire. But he remembered that he couldn't give up if he wanted to go home. — Don't let him get away… And bring him to me... alive…
"Does he need me alive? But why?" — and it was spinning in the head of the young inventor. "Other than that, it's not that important.… I have to find a way out now..." he looked around. There were black, creepy, bare trees all around him. "And it seems that the exit is somewhere nearby..." he thought. The fox somehow got up, and then jumped up and took off. However, he could not fly at such a high altitude as he would like.
"Well, at least I'm flying, that's something," he decided and flew wherever he looked.
But suddenly he felt as if something had grabbed his ankle. It turned out to be tree branches. Tails tried to jerk and pull away from the grip, but his foot was firmly stuck in the branches. And then the tree began to pull on itself. Gritting his teeth, Tails darted forward, but it didn't help, and he continued to be pulled back. Then the fox cub grabbed the nearest branch of a nearby tree. It seemed that by picking up a twig, Tails gave a signal to the second tree, and it began to pull its twig arms towards him. And then the returning birds were right there and swooping down on him.
The two-tailed fox cub pulled out a twig with all his might, which he grabbed, and then began to beat the branch holding his leg with it. And who would have thought, but with his weapon, like an axe, he cut the branch into pieces. Immediately, howls could be heard, and they seemed to come from the trees themselves.
But Tails had no time to think, he just continued on his way, occasionally dodging attacking birds and trees.
But these opponents were not enough for him, so even from the ground he was attacked by monsters that, apparently, used to look more like ricky, tiny cute chipmunks and squirrels, and now resembled scary versions of lizard animals. One of these monsters pushed him, and Tails once again made an unplanned landing. While he was lying down, the monster ricky tried to grab him. But the fox cub got up and dodged him, and then swung his tails and beat off the enemy, so that he ran into sharp branches of trees that pierced through his flesh. Looking at the corpse of the monster, from whose wounds muddy green blood was flowing, Tails hurriedly turned away, because he almost vomited from such a sight.
But he could not relax, because they did not give him a proper rest, and he was attacked from different sides by both birds and animals. And the boy had to fight them off in every possible way.
It's good that he's trained in battles with Eggman, and these skills came in handy for him.
Some creatures were pierced by tree branches, either through the whole body or through the head, others just lay in a pile, and others were wounded by a fox cub stick.
But there were still too many enemies. And no matter how hard Tails tried, he was wasting his time. And this was further confirmed by the fact that the moon began to cover the sun.
Wait, the moon? No! It looked like the shadow of a huge dark button!
So there was a game for a while after all.
Somehow repelling the attacks of his pursuers, Tails hurried to get out of the clearing while it was still possible.
Soon, he noticed some kind of glow, and he rushed there.
"It looks like this is the way out!" — Tails was delighted when he noticed a hill, under which a certain cave was located. - "There's just a little bit left!" - he exerted his last strength to get out of this whole nightmare as soon as possible.
— Are you going far, little foxy? — Someone, or rather, it was Another Sonic himself, hit him, and the boy flew off to the side, tumbling a couple of times already on the grass. — What a fool little foxy you are ... — the hedgehog addressed him in a hissing voice. — But I wanted the best for you.…
Tails got down on all fours and looked ahead. The entrance to the cave emitted a golden-white light. It was a portal leading home. A way out of this madness and horror.
Then he was kicked, and he rolled a little further away from the entrance to the cave. The boy, looking at the demon, which is exactly what Tails thought this creature was, wiped the blood under his nose and stood up again.
— Why do you need me? What do you want from me? — He dared to ask the demon, who laughed terribly.
— Didn't you understand? I need you.… Because I'm... so lonely.… And I just need company... — The other Sonic broke into a terrible smile, showing sharp triangular teeth. His fur became even darker, almost black, and the needles became terribly prickly and sharp. So there were also sharp claws on the monster's hands.
— I... don't believe you...— Tails replied. — After all... you have pets.… So why do you need me, from another world?
— Heh. Yes, I have toys in my world that I created myself, — the demon chuckled. — But you know... these little animals are my creations, nothing more… With them... I'm free to do whatever my heart desires.… And it's boring with them… Therefore, we need someone alive, even if he is from another world... — the monster grabbed the fox cub by the neck. The boy tried to escape, grabbed the demon's arm with his hands, kicked his legs, swept his tails, but this did not give him any result. — And, you know, I was ready to do a lot for you, little foxy. I could have given you so many miracles, I would have become the best brother in the world. And you just had to agree... is it that hard? Say yes now, and you will receive a great reward from me…
— No... way... — said Tails. — You're... just... playing... with me... And how... tired... will you... kill... me…
— Come on, kid... — the demon drawled sweetly. — I'm not playing with you at all, and I wasn't going to kill you. Honestly, I just wanted to give you the best and most perfect life.
— I don't... believe it… Will you... sooner... or... later... kill... me…
The demon frowned. He started getting angry again.
— Okay. If you really want to know the whole truth and you can't be fooled in anyway... — he hissed. — I'll really kill you later, because I need your life.… I need someone who has a beating heart, in whose veins flows warm sweet blood, and who has such a bright and innocent soul inside. I feed on the life of these little and lost souls... — but then he suddenly sighed a little sadly. — But to be honest, I would like it to be in a different way, at least once it happened... — there was a flash in his free hand at first, Tails squeezed his eyes shut, thinking that he was going to be killed with it. But after a moment, the boy hesitantly opened one eye. He was alive. For now. But then he saw in the demon's hand... blue shiny buttons!
— Everything could have been much better and simpler, my little Tails ... — hissed the hedgehog. — But, alas, you left me no other choice... Yes, I must admit, you amused me with your audacity and boldness, even if I was counting on a longer game ... Hee-hee-hee…
"Does he want to sew buttons on me instead of eyes?!" — Tails was horrified and feverishly began to look for something with which to escape from the monster. And then he saw a branch below, which he broke and used as a weapon against the army of monsters. He took that stick with one of his tails, and then swung it sharply at the demon.
— GET IT, DEMON!!! — shouted Tails, stabbing a branch into the monster's right eye. Greenish blood sprayed, and the demon screamed shrilly. He released the fox cub from his grip, clutching his face. Tails hurried to the cave without hesitation. He was so exhausted from all this chasing and fighting, but still he tried to hold on until the very end. He took off several times, and then fell, after which he soared into the air again, but still little by little he approached the cave and this alluring light. "A little more! Just a little more!" flashed through his mind. And when the boy was just a little bit, just a couple of centimeters away from the exit, he was grabbed by the ends of his tails.
— You're not going anywhere!!! You can't run away!!! You belong to me!!! — There was a hiss nearby.
Tails didn't turn around and just threw sand and dust in the enemy's face, and then made a dash forward towards the light.
— No, waaaaiiit!!! You're miiiiiiiine!!!
A clawed hand stretched out behind him, but there was light ahead of Tails, and he squeezed his eyes shut, waiting to finally return to his home world.
***
Tails let out a loud cry of horror. His golden fur was soaked in sticky sweat. He looked around. He was in his workshop. He managed to return home. Or was it all just a terrible nightmare? The fox cub would really like to hope for the second option…
— TAILS, WHAT HAPPENED?! — Sonic came running to him. The real Sonic. No button eyes.
— Sonic ... — the boy was incredibly happy to see his friend and brother, and therefore threw himself on his neck and burst into tears.
— Tails, what are you doing? — the hedgehog asked perplexedly. — Did you have a nightmare?
— Yes... it is… It was so scary.… I just can't describe it... — he cried, clinging to a friend with a trembling ball of golden fur.
— Easy, easy... everything is fine ... — Sonic patted him soothingly on the back, looking tenderly at his younger brother. — I'm with you, everything's fine…
Tails began to calm down a little.
— I'm sorry.… I'm sorry for the terrible things I said to you.… I'm sorry... — the little fox apologized.
— It's okay, Tails.… I've already forgiven you, don't worry... — said Sonic calmly. — Do you see? I told you that you shouldn't have stayed up late in the workshop, — the older brother reminded at the same time.
— Yes, I see it now. You were right, — Tails sobbed. — I'm sorry.
— Nothing. Come on, I'll just carry you to your soft and comfortable bed, okay?
— Uh—huh, — the fox cub mumbled in agreement, after which Sonic, holding his younger brother in his arms, headed to the bedroom of the young inventor. On the way, Tails looked around. Yes, everything looks exactly like a real house. The paint was worn off on the walls, and there were no awards or certificates, or anything else unusual. So, he really managed to return home or completely wake up from a terrible dream.
— And now, — said Sonic, putting the fox cub to bed, — go to bed. You can sleep well, you won't have any more nightmares. If anything, I'll be there to protect you.
— Thank you, Sonic. I love you, big brother, — Tails said, then yawned.
— I love you too, my little brother,— said the hedgehog. — Good dreams and good night.
— Good night, — and then the fox cub, closing his eyes, plunged into the land of dreams.
***
— Go to sleep, my little foxy… Sleep sweetly and soundly... — the hedgehog whispered to himself. Buttons appeared in his ordinary eyes instead of emerald-green pupils, and prickly himself grinned insidiously. — I told you that you would be mine ... Heh-heh-heh ... — here Another Sonic picked up a plush toy that looked like a blue green-eyed hedgehog. — And now... no ONE can save you… Even your older brother Sonic, who is now also in my hands... Ha ha ha ha... — the demon laughed ominously, and then pressed on the toy with his claws, from which scarlet blood flowed in rivulets. And there was a full white moon outside the window, which was soon covered by the shadow of a giant dark button.
THE END?..

Warning: this art contains blood, cruelty, violence and death of animals, so it is recommended that people not younger than +16 years old watch it!
RUS: Я как-то задумалась над тем, а что если бы вселенная книжной серии "Котов-воителей" (а именно события новеллы "Месть Кленовницы") пересеклась бы с игрой "Среди нас", где пришельцы, называемые Предателями, убивают обычных Космонавтов, ещё известных как Члены Экипажа, и потому я и нарисовала арт, изображающий Кленовницу, потерявшую своих малышей, которой пришлось стать Предательницей, чтобы отомстить тем, кого она винила в смерти котят.
И я уверяю вас, что эта Кленовница ещё более жестокая садистка, чем оригинальная...😏
А также я надеюсь, что вам понравится мой жуткий арт.😊✨
ENG: I once wondered what if the universe of the book series "Warrior Cats" (namely the events of the novel "Mapleshade's vengeance") would intersect with the game "Among as", where aliens, called Imposters, kill ordinary Astronauts, also known as Crewmates, and that's why I drew art depicting a Mapleshade who lost her babies, who had to become a Imposter in order to take revenge on those whom she blamed for the death of kittens.
And I assure you that this Mapleshade is even more cruel sadist than the original one...😏
And also I hope you enjoy my creepy art.😊✨
Sitting by the window, Tails watched the falling snow. It was so beautiful. Snowflakes were like tiny ballerinas, slowly descending down, dancing their dance.
"It's beautiful, isn't it, Tails?" — his best friend, Sonic the blue hedgehog, turned to the fox cub.
— Yeah! Very! — He agreed. — Do you like snow?
- Yes. But it wasn't very good before.
- Why? — the kid was amazed.
— You know, there was just one incident with me... when I was a child...
— Can you tell me, please? Tails asked.
"Well... that's how it was…
***
A memory...
— Longclaw, what is it? — the little hedgehog asked his guardian, owl Longclaw. "It's snow, Sonic.
— He's so handsome. Can I touch it?
— Alright. But be careful. There are snowdrifts here that are deep for you.
But Sonic didn't listen to her and, just reaching for another snowflake, fell off the porch of the treehouse, landing straight into a snowdrift from which his tiny tail was sticking out.
"Longclaw, help me!" — the hedgehog screamed, because he could not get out himself.
The owl sighed and went downstairs.
—Sonic, I told you to be careful," she gently pulled the baby out, and he snuggled up to her, whimpering. — Sonic, didn't you like the snow? — she asked, grinning.
— No! — He said. Tears welled up in his eyes.
—Oh, come on, Sonic. It wasn't that bad, was it?
Sonic started crying in response.
—Okay, okay. Let's get you home and you can warm up there, okay?
— Yeah.
The end of the memory…
***
— It just scared me then that I wouldn't get out of that stupid snowdrift. And I also froze after that," Sonic finished his story.
—Oh, I see… And then how did you fall in love with snow?
— I just became smarter and stopped poking where deep. That's all. And I realized how beautiful the snow is, and how fun it is to play in it," explained the hedgehog. — By the way… Before Tom and Maddie cook dinner, let's go outside and play there?
— Yeah! — agreed the little fox.
— And at the same time… Maybe we'll make fun of Knuckles..." Sonic whispered conspiratorially, and he and Tails grinned, and then ran outside and started playing snowballs.

"Маленький принц" Антуана Де Сент-Экзюпери может показаться обычной детской сказкой на первый взгляд. Но если погрузиться в неё полностью, то можно понять, что эта сказка не так проста как кажется. В ней раскрываются очень важные темы, которые до сих пор являются актуальными для людей:
взросление и потеря "внутреннего ребёнка", который, познавая окружающий мир, делает свои открытия, умеет удивлять своими фантазией и мечтами настолько, насколько это возможно;
преданность и любовь, ценность дорогого и близкого тебе человека/существа;
ответственность за свои действия (и не зря до сих пор цитируют: "Мы в ответе за тех, кого приручили").
Прочитав эту замечательную и трогательную сказку, я не смогла удержаться, чтобы не нарисовать что-нибудь по ней. Именно поэтому я нарисовала данный арт по "Маленькому принцу", где в роли Принца предстал лисёнок Тейлз, а Розой - Космо. И я надеюсь, что вам понравится мой необычный кроссовер, который я изобразила...
ENG:
"The Little Prince" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery may seem like an ordinary children's fairy tale at first glance. But if you immerse yourself in it completely, you can understand that this fairy tale is not as simple as it seems. It reveals very important topics that are still relevant to people:
growing up and losing the "inner child", who, learning about the world around him, makes his discoveries, knows how to surprise with his imagination and dreams as much as possible;
devotion and love, the value of a person/being dear and close to you;
responsibility for their actions (and it's not for nothing that they still quote: "We are responsible for those who have been tamed").
After reading this wonderful and touching tale, I couldn't resist drawing something based on it. That's why I drew this art based on "The Little Prince", where the fox cub Tails appeared as the Prince, and Cosmo as the Rose. And I hope that you will like my unusual crossover, which I have depicted...
