Happily Ever After (Sequel to The Story of Sapphire)

A Surge of Demons

Sapphire POV
The poor hedgehog carries on to try feebly push the heavy trash off of himself, he wasn't successful. Actully, he made it worse.
"Its going to be okay" I say. "I'm going to get you out of here!" He nods slightly before hissing once again in pain as he shuffles grimancing. Being as gentle as I can I slowly shift some of the trash off of his chest letting his breathing become more steady and then I move to his arm. There was a pool of fresh blood. I inhale sharply pull a broken TV that was on his arm off making him tense instently. I look back at his face to see his eyes were closed in pain and he had sweat dripping down his forehead. Poor thing. I wipe away the sweat and I see his lips twitch to what look like a smile but with all the pain hes in I don't blame him for not being able to.

Normal POV
Sapphire carries of shifting the rubbish off of the dark green hedgehog as he slowly passes out. Sapphire smiles at his peaceful state and sits him up leaning him against the wall so she could see the damge. There was many bruises on his arms and legs. Sapphire lifts his shirt to see if his chest was okay since the trash was piled up mostly there. A hand yanks the shirt back down and Sapphire leaps back in surprise, yelping at the sharp pain she felt in her leg. Shoot, she forgot about her ankle. Biting her tongue she looks up at the hedgeog who was frowning yet he looked confused. Sapphire sat back in front of his cross legged, careful not to damge her ankle further.
"Your awake" She stated unsure of what else to say. He nods and sits up straighter keeping the same expression on his features. Sapphire looked down at her hands tht were on her lap trying to say something else to break the awkward atmosphere, he beat her to it.
"Who are you?" He asked sternly. HIs voice was flat. Sapphire hesitates.
"...Sapphire"
"Well...I'm Surge. Thank you...for helping me and everything" Sapphire nods hapily glad she now knew his name but Surges gaze was still heavy and trained on her. Feeling nervous she look at her hands once again and bites her lip. Surge gives a small chuckles.
"Thats adorable" Sapphire looks up blankly at him letting the heat rise to her face.
"What?" She questions making his chuckling turn into laughter.
"Nothing- Hey, your bright red, wait, are you blushing? Wow, guess you should put you down your red flag!" Sapphire giggles.
"Hey, at least i'm not the only ones whos tickled pink here!"
"Damn, now you got me feeling blue"
"Orange you happy anymore?" The puns were bad, but they loved it and sat on the floor laughing at eachothers jokes no matter how silly they were.

Minutes later as the two compose themselves Surge looks around the room.
"I just remember..." Surge pauses and inhales deeply taking in the light hearted atmospere with it. Noticing his change she tilts her head.
"What do you remember?"
"I...was battling a strage man...because-" Surge is interuped by Sapphires outburst.
"Dr Eggman?! I was in the base too along with my...friends" She trails off and looks out a window. Catching on quickly Surge shuffles forwards before grunting forgetting about his injurys.
"You want to find your friends?" Sapphire nods before stand, not putting any weight on her ankle.
"Do you know where we are?" She asks. "Because, we sure are not in mobias anymore" He holds out her hand to him to help him stand.

Surge POV
"What do you mean?" I ask taking her hand and slowly pulling myself up. I see her shuffle looking down at her feet as if trying to find the right words."You woulnd't believe me" She whispers. I glare at her.
"What going on?" My voice was once again stern making her flinch.
"I think...I think its better if I just show you..." Sapphire takes my hand and slowly pulls me towards a window, a blocked window, actully. When she lets go of my hand her warmth disappears with it but I brush it off as I peer out of the window. I blink at the sight. This was my home. Your probably confused, let me explain. Up on mobius heaven and hell mean good and bad, but to get to any of those places you need to die, of course. This is the home of death himself. Where demons (aka his minions) roam. Its nearly impossible for any mortal to come here unless Death sends one of the high class demons. There are a hand full of us, each with the power to control and protect something important. Mine is time and space. Why I am a demon? Death chose me of course I died from- that a different story. Now I am serving and killing for eternity. When I fighting the doctor I was trying to stop him from taking over because in a different timeline he succeds and the world is an end. When it blow up, why did it send us here of all places? I turn back to Sapphire who was looking at me strangely. She sure as hell is mortal, shes not going to last here...
"...This may be a strange question" She says nervously laughing. "But...is there a reason you aren't freaking out?" A laugh at her bluntness before once again staring out the window.
"Yes, actully, but...you wouldn't believe me" I say smirking mimiking her words from before. She laughes but this time I can tell shes a little scared.
"...try me"
"...alright. This is my home, I am one of them" I gesture to the outside world before holding my hand up high making time stop on itself. Closing my eyes I walk towards Sapphire and then hold my hand down so time is once again in motion. Its looks like a teleported in front of her. I open my eyes.
"I'm a demon" I know i'm a monster, I can see her turn pale. She stumbled backwards hissing from what looks like a swolen ankle. I run forward to help her but she once again backs up.
"No, please! Don't! I'll scream!"
"Look, i'm not-"
"HELP DEMON!"
"Sapphire-"
"HELP!!!!" I sigh and slap my hand voer her mouth.
"I'm not evil alright?! I kill when I have to and your really pushing your luck here!" I let her go and she just stares at me.
"...so your a demon"
"Yep"
"That works for death"
"Yep"
"And your NOT evil?"
"No...well yes, but its my job"
"Okay..." She looks me over once more and her eyes widen.
"Surge, your arm!"
