Mine

Chapter 11

PoV: Sonic

  What's going on with me... with my body... Why do I keep heating up like this?

"Sonic, you've been feeling warm a lot recently," Knuckles placed a thermometer into my mouth.

"I told you I'm fine," I pulled the thermometer out after it beeped.

"Well your temperature is at ninety-nine so you have a light fever. You lay down and rest, once you're over this fever you can go for a run if you want," Knuckles laid me down on the couch and covered me in a blanket.

"I can't believe this place was hidden on the island," I looked around. We were in a small house, Knuckles' house, "How come you never invited us over before?"

"I wasn't finished building it until now," he answered.

"You did a great job," It was cozy here... and so... peaceful

---

"Mm.... huh? I fell asleep?" I sat up and rubbed my eyes. It was still bright outside.

"You're awake," Knuckles came in, "How are you feeling?"

"Hungry~" I yawned, "Tsk..." I had tried to stretch my arm forgetting about my injury.

"Let me look," Knuckles unwrapped my arm, "You tore one of your stitches. I'll call Tails to come and fix it."

"Its taking forever to heal... I thought it would heal faster," I looked at my right arm, the stitches were lose and the wound was still red.

"Maybe we should take you to an actual doctor," Knuckles picked me up.

"Hey! Put me down!" I couldn't fight back, "Knuckles!"

"Look, I know you trust Tails, but you need a professional," he took me all the way to a hospital and I was forced to be looked at by a doctor.

"Did one of our employees do these stitches? I should fire them for such a sloppy job," they cleaned the cut, which hurt like crazy. Then they restitched my arm. Turned out the reason it wasn't healing was because the stitches weren't set properly, "Take these once a day to avoid infections, and these every four hours for the pain."

  They handed me two papers for medications I had to get from the pharmacy.

"What's that?" Knuckles asked as they put some on me and my arm.

"Its a sling to keep our hero from making any unnecessary movements while he heals. You can remove it in two weeks. Make sure no water gets into the wound," the doctor strapped it on a little tight, "And rub in this cream everyday."

"I'll make sure he gets rest," Knuckles took me to pick up the medicine and then back to Angle Island.

  My arm was still aching thanks to the new stitches. I was still hungry too.

"You're mean, it would have healed on its own," Knuckles put me down once we were in his house.

"I'm glad we went. Tails is a mechanical genius, but he's not trained in medicine what so ever. Now you can properly heal," Knuckles walked into the kitchen and I followed him.

"What are you making?" I wanted to see what he was going to cook.

"I haven't decided yet. I was thinking of making a sandwich but you can't eat that with one hand so... you want soup?" He was holding a can of soup.

"Sure," I nodded.

"Vegetable soup it is," he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"You know better than to lie to me."

Why did that memory come back?! Why is my body heating up again?!

"Sonic, you're a bit red," Knuckles place a hand on my head.

"I'm fine," I backed away.

He raised my chin, "You hiding something from me?"

"N-no..."

  What is going on with me?

"Come here," he pulled me into his arms, "I'm sorry I made you do that."

  So close... Why is my heart beating so fast?

"I'm gonna go watch a movie," I left to the livingroom and turned on the TV.

  Tails... come visit soon. I need you to tell be why this is happening to me...

  Why me?
