"Is he okay?" Sonic asked, keeping up with Kathryn. Worry written on his face.
"He's fine!" Kathryn answered, stroking Tails' back.
Though he was almost as big as her. She still carried him has if he was still a small child. The kit clung to her, his body visible shaking still. Even after their stay in Sir Charles' home. As they walked, Sonic could hear his whimpers and Kathryn's soothing growls. After a time, Tails calmed and fell asleep again. His little body giving into the tiredness he felt. Sonic could hear the kit's even breathing and sighed inwardly, glad that he was sleeping. Rotor even dared a look over to him and smiled.
Sonic walked in pace with Kathryn, studding her, "Where did you learn to make those sounds or even sing like that?"
"There were many orphans in Willow Town. I learned to mimic the sounds from some of the mother's of the village to help sooth the orphaned children. Me and mother took most of them in. She was the one who taught me to sing." Kathryn shifted the kit in her arms to try and carry him better, but to no avail.
Sonic saw this, "Here let me." He gently took a sleeping Tails from her arms. Gingerly cradling him in his arms.
Kathryn watched him closely with Tails. It surprised her when he gently took Tails from her. But was quietly glad he took him. Then he surprised her even more when Tails whimpered and Sonic nuzzled him and admitted a low growl and the kitsun quieted. This mere action set her thoughts racing. She watched him from the corner of her eye. Looking him up and down, feeling her body burn slightly.
*Maybe I was wrong about him. He does seem to care for the children. If he didn't, then why would he be so gently to a kit that's not even his? This is to confusing for me. Yet here he is, holding Tails and acting more like a protective father then friend. Maybe I should give him another chance. *

"Well, how did it go?" Sally asked, putting Nicole down to look at the raged group that entered her hut.
"It went smashing. If it wasn't for Uncle Chuck's help. I think we would have been Robuttnick's latest bots." Sonic answered sarcastically. He handed a sleeping Tails to Kathryn.
"That bad?" Sally asked, now Geoffrey and Antoine both looking up.

Kathryn couldn't hold her tongue any longer. She didn't care that Sonic had asked her to stay quiet and let him handle Sally. But she couldn't stand there and let her think everything was okay. Even if she was told of what happened before they got here. She moved to a couch and laid Tails on it. Then she turned to face Sally and the two males staring at her.
"Tails was almost killed! He will not be going on another mission till he's older!” Kathryn stated, baring her teeth.
"I agree, Tails isn't ready." Said Sonic, crossing his arms in front of him. “He can do what needs to be done. But when it comes down to fight or flight. He would run. I don't want to put him through last night again.”
Sally sat there shocked. The two hedgehogs were agreeing on something. Up till now they had fought on end. But now they had found something to agree on. Then what Kathryn had said sunk in. Her eyes grew wide and she looked to Tails. Still remembering what Sir Charles said. But he had seemed to have left that one part out it seemed.
"Is he okay?" Sally asked, standing.
"Yes, but he's still shaken. How can you let a child do something like this! You are supposed to protect your people. Not sending them out to be killed!" Kathryn said, a slight growl to her voice.
"I agree, Tails isn't ready." Said Sonic, crossing his arms in front of him. “He can do what needs to be done. But when it comes down to fight or flight. He would run. I don't want to put him through last night again.”

“Now zee here. Yooz can not talk to ze preencezz like zat!” Antoine said, readying to attack Kathryn.
“Antoine, don't worry about it. She's right, I should put the people first.” Sally stated, looking at Kathryn.
"We better go. The best thing for him right now is sleep.” Sonic said, picking up Tails' sleeping form.
Together they took Tails to his hut and laid him down. Kathryn tucked him in making sure that he was still asleep. Then they left, leave Tails to his dreams and hoping they would be good.
Outside the sun was in the sky now. The birds were starting to wake too. Tiered wings stretched and feathers were preened. As the sun roes higher, their little voices rang out as one. The morning cores had begun. Rotor and Sonic talked to Sally. They told her what had happen during the night raid. Filling in the gaps Sir Charles left out. Sally would look to Kathryn every so often. But Kathryn didn't seem to notice the conversation or when it stopped. She was to focus on the birds singing. Something was wrong with the song. It was to clipped, to fast. They sounded scared. Something was coming, maybe an early winter. What ever it was, it wouldn't come for a time. She needed to know what it was. Then she spoke.
"There were more guards then we thought.” She stated, "He knew we would come."
"She's right Sal, he was ready for us. If it hadn't been for the floor being polished. We would have never finished the mission,” Sonic said, running his hand through his quill. He looked tiered. “Not even Unc knew. An he's always on top of thing. Robotnick is getting paranoid.”
Kathryn still looked to the sky as it turned redder and less a deep purple. *How did he know?* With a heavy sigh, she turned to leave for her hut. Change was in the air. She could smell it on the wind. An she wanted to be ready for it when it came. But she was stopped from leaving by a strong, but delicate hand. Her quills rows slightly at the contacted.
"You are not going any where." Sally said, pulling her back. "I want to know how you knew that the robot was there? I want to know how you know and do a lot of things?"
"My instincts told me." Said Kathryn as she turned to look at Sally's hand on her arm, and then lifted her head to face the princess.
Forest green met amethyst. Though the amethyst eyes were fierce to look at. The forest green had the true fire. A long barred instinct told the two males to not interfere. This was the female's fight. So the two males watched in silence. Only Kathryn saw Sally's eyes falter for only a second. But that was all it took. An only the females knew who had won. Kathryn stood a little taller, still only coming to Sally's mouth.
"I want you and Sonic to go back." A slight waver in Sally's voice.
Kathryn said nothing as she shook off Sally's hand and moved away. Kathryn knew that though she was smaller, she was the stronger, but had no interest to be leader. That was not her destiny. At lease she knew that much was set in stone. The rest was still being chiseled. She would have to try and change as much as she could. Even if she had to embrace the part of her she had run from for so long. If it had stopped one death. Then maybe it could stop more and even help others.
"No!" was Kathryn's only words.
"Then if you don't go on your own, I'll make you go by force. I'll go too if I have to." Sally said walking up to the smaller female.
"No you wouldn't, not in your condition. That and your husband wouldn't have it." Kathryn said smugly. "I'll go if it keeps you at bay."
Kathryn turned away and headed for the mess hall. Leaving a very shaken Sally behind. All Kathryn wanted to do was to be left alone and stay out of the war. But since coming here, it seemed she had no choose. For the first time, she felt like she was in danger. Not from the war, but from herself. She realized she had said too much. She knew no one knew of Sally's condition or her marriage to Geoffrey. Everything she worked so hard to hide was coming out whether she liked it or not. Then she stopped, waiting for someone to catch up. As she waited for them. She came to a decision. She would fight.
"What do you want?" She asked the person behind her.
"How did you know?" the person asked.
"You know." She answered, closing her eyes, the person left.

"You know." She answered, closing her eyes, the person left.
She felt drained both physically and emotionally. This was too much for her. At lease when she still lived in Willow Town. Her visions and dreams barley came. But here it was almost constant. But she also knew she had to be here. Something was telling her that much. But she couldn't figure it out. Everything was so confusing for her. All she wanted to do was eat and sleep. An not have to worry about anything else. Kathryn walked into the mess hall and ate.
She looked around her for a moment. Everyone was happy and laughing. Some acted like this was how thing had always been. Most of them didn't know just how close they are to death. Here they had their family and friends. What more did they have to worry about.
AS Kathryn sat at the table, she could smell the mix of rabbit fur and metal coming to her. She knew Bunny wasn't that far behind her and coming closer. But before the rabbot reached her. Kathryn placed her fork down. *This is now or never. If I'm going to do what I have to. I can't hide it any more. This is for you mom and sis.* Kathryn thought as she braced herself.
“Tell Sally I'll meet them in Rotor's shop after I have eaten and not before. An tell that blue hedgehog he needs to eat too.”
Bunny stopped short, looking at the back of her head. She could feel her eyes on her. Wondering how she knew. Kathryn waited for it to come, the fear smell. But it never came. She picked up her fork and started to eat.
“Okay, sugar. I'll tell `er and that sugar hog too.” Then Bunny left.

When Kathryn entered Rotor's workshop. Sally and Sonic were all ready there. Sonic looked over to her as she entered. He gave her his winning smile and turned back to what Rotor was saying. Sally kept her eyes forward. She took a deep breath and walked over to them. She could feel the tension in the room. Most of it coming from Sonic and Sally. Something had happened and she knew it was because of her. But she knew it was for the good. Sally wasn't going to tell him till it would far to late.
"They can tell the difference from a robot and a robotized mobian. It'll just stun the mobian, but fry the circuits of any swat bot it touches." Rotor smiled, holding up a metal sphere the size of a tennis ball. “Thanks to the bot Kathryn and Sonic brought down. I have something to work with.”
"How am I supposed to us it?" Sonic asked, looking at the one in his hand.
"That's easy, you through it at them or in your case.” He looked at Sonic, “You just have to place it on them. The moment they make contact they activate, BAM. Bye bye robot. And here's the best part, they absorb energy from the batteries from its victim to recharge and the electric shock won't hurt you if you're touching them."
"That works for me. How about you Kat?" Sonic turned to Kathryn.
"If you can make them into bolos, I can do it easy. It would be like hunting." Kathryn smiled. She found herself liking Sonic's smile. What was happening to her?
Sally spoke, "Okay then, now you to two get some rest. This is going to be a three-day recon. You both leave at sun down." Sally looked to Kathryn on her last words. Venom in her eyes. Yep, she had disturbed the princess' peace. It would be some time before Sally's temper died.

Both hedgehogs left the workshop. Neither looking at the other. They walked for a bit together. Enjoying each others company, but wanting to admit it to the other. Then they parted to go to their separat huts. Before the female entered hers, she looked back at the sky. Full day had come on. There was something in the air. Something that was defiantly bringing changes to Knothole. Then she entered her hut to sleep.
