Another Lover
                                     Chapter Two: Prisoner of Love

      When Tails woke up, he felt his head for any bruises. “Finally, you’re awake. I thought you were gone forever.” someone said beside him. Tails looked to see who it was and saw a orange-furred vixen sitting in another cell next to him. She had sky blue eyes like he did and her tail was tipped with grey fur. She wore a T-shirt that seemed two sizes small with a skirt. They seemed to stare at each other for a few seconds before a door opened and Robotnik snickered at them. “I see you both woke up, well I guess you haven’t introduced yourselves, but it really doesn’t matter because I have something in store for you two.” Robotnik said. He opened the girl’s cell and she suddenly bared her teeth.

      She lunged at Robotnik and almost reached his neck. But he pulled out a tazer and shocked the vixen. The girl limped helplessly in his arms. Tails quickly ran to the door of his cell and growled, “Hey! You can’t do that!” Tails yelled. “I can do anything I want, rodent, and now you will join her.” Robotnik said and opened his cell door. Tails tried to run past him, but Robotnik stunned him with the tazer. “Like I said before, I have something in store for you.” Robotnik said and carried the two foxes away from the room.

      When Tails gained consciousness for the second time, he looked around his surrounding and saw that he was strapped down to something. He was strapped to a chair. He looked around more to see the girl chained to a wall. There was a roboticized rabbit holding a pistol to the vixen’s head. “Now Tails, you have two choices. Give me the coordinates to Knothole, or…” Robotnik said, looking at the scared vixen. “You watch this poor and pitiful girl get her brains blown out. Your call.” he said. Tails tried to think of something quick. He couldn’t just let her die in front of him in such a cruel manner. But he couldn’t tell the whereabouts of his home either. Tails was about to answer, when Robotnik got impatient a second too soon.

      “Here’s a deal, if you tell me where the rebels base is, then I will let her go with you.” Robotnik said. ‘A perfect deal indeed.’ Tails thought. “Fine, I’ll tell you.” he said. “No! Don’t trust him.” the girl yelled. Tails’ restraints became loose and he rubbed his wrists. “Now, the coordinates.” Robotnik said. Tails walked to the control panel and looked at the map he displayed on a screen.

      It wasn’t like the one he was used to seeing. It was way more advanced and small. He pointed to a forest region and put his head down in shame. “There.” Tails said. “Thank you very much. Too bad I always lie. Rabbitron, shoot the girl!” Robotnik ordered. “Yes sir.” the robot answered and was about to fire, when all the power cut off. Not even the emergency power came on. ‘Mission accomplished.’ Tails thought. He set a bug into the computer to mess up the programming even more. Tails put on a pair of night vision goggles and grabbed the vixen. “What’s going on?” she asked frantically. “Don’t worry, we are going to get out of here.” Tails said.

      They made it out of the compound and into the sky. “I haven’t introduced myself, my name is Monica Floyd.” the vixen said. “My name is Miles Prower, but my friends call me Tails.” he said. Not knowing their future, these two free spirited foxes would soon be lost in the world of war and responsibility.
