Homecoming
A bright circle of light appeared, hurling Blaze's body out through it's center along with a single Sol emerald before vanishing, leaving her laying on the ground.
How long had she been gone? How long had it been since she'd been thrown into another zone, tricked and ambushed by a suspicious group?
How long had it been since she last saw him?
She grimaced as she attempted to lift herself off the ground, still shaken by what had just happened, her body aching from the continuous strain it had been put through in the past week or so.
Her mind was a little blurry too, but she clearly remembered finally grabbing hold of the emerald that had been so unfairly stolen from her after desperately searching for it in the unknown territory she was thrown in.
She also remembered her last thoughts as she clutched it fervently in her hands moments earlier.
She wanted to go back to her home. To her precious friends. And most of all to Silver.
He had been the lingering thought in her mind before the jewel in her hand shone brightly, sending her back before she even knew what was happening.
But as she raised her head, sitting on her knees as she lightly rubbed her throbbing head, looking ahead of her, she immediately understood what had happened.
''....S-Silver...!!''
Panicked worry rushed her to his unconscious body, immediately checking for his vital signs while ignoring the pangs of pain in her own limbs.
Good, he was only sleeping. Yet even in this state, he looked shockingly exhausted, sadness and concern painting his features.
Her own face fell at the realization he had probably spent this whole time looking for her, neglecting his own health in the process. Her first reflex was wanting to scold him, but was she really in right to? She would have done the same for him, after all, and besides, this was all her fault...
With a sigh, she brushed the thought aside, gently picking the hedgehog off the ground as she stood, making her way to their home as quickly as her battered body - at least she wasn't badly injured - could manage. They both needed to rest, and fast.
Once they had finally arrived, she made a bee line for the bed, carefully putting him down on it before basically letting herself fall next to him. Only moments later, her eyes already began to droop slowly, her eyes fixed on Silver's sleeping face.
And despite suddenly being overcome by fatigue, she still managed to scoot over closer to him, placing a light kiss on his lips before snuggling herself to sleep while resting her head on his chest, finally letting sleep overcome her senses...
Home sweet home.
