Love Can Move Mountains
Chapter 2
Tears trickling down her cheek as she took his hand in hers. "I love you too, Bartleby..." Why was this happening? Was this fate's way of punishing her for some unknown slight? "I love you."
Hearing those words, the mink took a deep, shuddering breath as he closed his eyes. So, this was how it felt to do the right thing. His head fell to her breast, a smile still on his face
The hand in hers went limp and lifeless and Sonia looked down at the empty face of her lover. "Bartleby..." She held him close, rocking and crying, oblivious to the onlookers who were torn between anger, shock, compassion and their own grief.
Sonic was the first of her brothers to step forward. "Sis..." he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"He saved me...he loved me..." Sonia wept. "It's not fair. It's not fair! Bartleby!"
Despite Robotnik's orders, Dingo found himself rooted to his spot. He didn't have a high opinion of the rich mink. He always thought he was another spineless, rich noble throwing his money around to save his hide. Dingo was surprised when this spineless nobleman had jumped on the desk, spouting the truth of their situations to the other nobles in the room. What could he hope to accomplish with such foolishness, the muscled bounty hunter thought. Surely, he knew that the other nobles knew exactly what was going on, they just didn't care. As long as it wasn't them in the hot seat.
It wasn't until the gun shot and the fear on Robotnik's face as he realized what he'd done, that Dingo understood. He had been trying to get the attention off of Sonia, to save her. Because otherwise, the picture in front of him could well have been reversed. Robotnik had meant to kill Sonia.
The sound of Sonia's sobs reached his ears and Dingo felt something new inside of him. He felt like he should do or say something, anything. Anything to calm those dreadful, heartrending sobs.
A hand on his shoulder interrupted his thoughts. He turned to see his partner, his only friend, Sleet, standing there with a look that could have killed a thousand Robotniks. "Come on Dingo. We need to get out of here."
Dingo nodded quietly and they made to leave.
"Hold it right there, you two," Sonic ordered. "Before you go, we have a message you can take back to Butt-nik!" Both of Sonia's brothers had looks of utter outrage plastered on their faces.
"You tell Butt-nik, that he's gone too far this time. We can forgive an awful lot, but this is too far. It's personal now," Manic said.
Sleet sneered. "Well, time will tell, won't it Hedgehogs! Come, Dingo, you moron."
But Dingo was again focused on his weeping crush. Sleet grit his teeth and grabbed his friend harshly, a bit more so than he intended to judging by the yelp of protest. "I said, let's go, dumbass!"
With them gone, Sonic and Manic turned back to their sibling.
"Sonia..." Manic tried to break through her cries. "We can't stay here. We have to leave."
She shook her head. She couldn't imagine moving right now. Even with her lover's blood coating her hands, arms and lap, she could only think of one thing.
Before they could continue, a light surrounded the triplets. If anyone still remained in the courtroom, they would have seen them and the body vanish with a pop.
They reappeared in a well-furnished cave. Bookshelves on every wall and a table with a crystal ball in the center were but a few of the furnishings.
"Hey Sonic, we're in the Oracle's place," Manic said. He was always left in awe when the Oracle used his magic.
"Very good, Young Manic," their green, long-nosed mentor said as he entered the room. His eyes fell on the unresponsive Sonia. Quietly, he made his way over to her, looking over the body in her arms, trying to see if there was anything he could do.
She finally registered the Oracle's presence and looked up at him. "Can you help him? Please. He saved my life," she pleaded desperately. "I love him..."
The Oracle placed a pair of fingers over the carotid artery and shook his head. "I am sorry, there is nothing I can do. I only wish there was." He looked into her eyes. "I'm sorry, Princess."
She trembled. "It's all my fault."
The words shocked Sonic and Manic.
"No sis," Sonic disagreed. "Don't say that. It was Robotnik who did this."
"If it hadn't been for me, if I hadn't tried to fight Robotnik..." Sonia continued. She thought of what he'd said to her before he died. He'd quoted her own words back to her. Now she had to wonder if she was right after all. Was this really making her life count for something when all it did was hurt the one she loved most? Was it worth it now? "I should have never joined the Resistance. He would have left Bartleby alone if it hadn't been for me. Bartleby would be alive now..."
"What are you saying sis?" Manic asked. "You can't be blaming the Underground, blame Robotnik."
"Yeah Sonia," Sonic said. "You can't blame yourself or your work in the Resistance. Robotnik would have come for us no matter what we did. We're the heirs of the Royal Family. We're the ones who are supposed to knock him off his high horse and save Mobius."
"And it was his association with ME that got him killed!" Sonia shouted. "If we had never...if I hadn't..." she broke down into a new flood of tears, gripping the limp body as though her heartbeat could will his to beat once more.
"But..." Manic tried to find the words but in a way she was right. "But that still wasn't your fault. You didn't ask for any of this. None of us did."
Sonic put a hand on his sister's shoulder. "He's right. You had no way of knowing that Robotnik would do this. You had no way of knowing what would happen at all. None of us did. It was all Robotnik. But don't you worry sis. Next time we'll take care of Robotnik for good. We won't let him get away with this. Next time..."
She shook her head. "There won't be a next time. I can't...I can't do this anymore. He didn't want me in the Resistance and this is why...I can't. No more...no more," she trailed off in a whisper as she mourned.
The Oracle looked away. "I understand young Princess. Come young Princes, let us give your sister some time alone to grieve." The wise seer drew the hedgehogs from their sister. He could only hope some much needed time would help her to see things clearly again.
Sleet had to practically drag his friend back to their own hideaway, a small hut that Robotnik knew nothing about. Sleet was starting to worry. Dingo seemed to be in a state of shock.
"Dingo, snap out of it already," he smacked the bigger man upside the head.
Dingo blinked and shook his head as he realized they were home. "Sleet...did you see...he...Robotnik...he..."
"Of course I saw it, nitwit," the wolf snapped. "I thought the most Robotnik ever did was roboticize those who defied him. But this..."
Dingo punched the wall beside him. "He made Sonia cry! He killed an innocent guy! He made Sonia cry!"
"You said that last part twice, but I know...I hate him too," Sleet growled.
"What do we do now Sleet? I can't think of going back to that...not now. I couldn't just pretend..."
"We have to go back, Dingo. You'll continue acting like mayonnaise has a higher IQ and I'll keep pretending to suck up to that..." Sleet growled. "Soon, Dingo. Soon, we will have our freedom again. Soon, Robotnik will suffer the humiliating defeat he deserves. He'll pay for everything he's done. Don't you worry."
AN: If you couldn't tell, the idea is that Dingo isn't REALLY an idiot. He ACTS like one for the sake of their plans which, again if you couldn't tell, are to purposely sabotage Robotnik's efforts to get the Hedgehogs in a subtle revenge for ruining their business and their lives. They are also quite against what Robotnik just did. They're bounty hunters, not murderers. I also plan on using stronger language and more adult situations since really the hedgehogs are written as young adults and this story is meant for young adults and older.
