1.6 Trapped... more ways than one

So since my computer is being stupid I can't find my pictures I took so this chapter isn't gonna have any. Sorry. Okay. So yeah.

I woke up in a dark room. I checked my surroundings. There was a mattress with a thin blanket, a sink, toilet, and shower and a small fridge. I checked myself for any signs of abuse. No knives sticking out of my stomach. Okay I'm okay I sighed with relief.
I got up. Ow I groaned. There was a big bump where the guy hit me in the head with that... thing. There was a big metal door I ran towards it. I tugged at it but it wouldn't budge. I felt a tear run down my cheek. I wiped it away. I have to get out of here! I thought. I planted my feet firmly on the cold cement floor. I pulled with all the strength in my body. I pulled to the point that my arms started to shake. I let a sigh out. I brushed some stray hair out of my face. I gripped the handle. I yanked it. It flew open, almost hitting me in the face. I got excited. Yes! I ran out. I wasn't looking where I was going and ran right into a tall brick wall.

I yelped. The already unbearable pain in my head got worse. I felt something warm trickle down my face. I put my hand on my head. When it came back down blood shone on my hand. Ugh. 

"Heh. Having fun... Creator?" I heard from behind the wall. There was a small window to the side of the wall. A man much taller than me gazed down mockingly at me.

"Who- who are you?" I asked.

"It's a shame you don't know me. After all those years of drawing me..." He whimpered playfully.

My eyes widened as reconition flooded my head.

"Egg man??? Why am I in this- this prison?" I sputtered.

"Well I got bored-"

"I'm here to cure your boredom?!?!" I snarled.

"On the contrary my dear Creative One. You are the cure of my boredom. You must let me finish my dear. I'm tired of experimenting on any unlucky creation you drew. And when I stumbled across you well, I thought hey! I wonder what the insides of a God looks like!" He grinned devilishly.

I took a shaky breath. "Y-you wouldn't!"

"Would I?"

My breath caught. He would.

"I want all of Creation World to see this! I start my experiment on you tomorrow at the Creation festival."

"Creation World? Creation festival? What?" I asked.

"What? Did you think you were in Sonic World you stupid Founder? Yes, you're in Creation World. It's where all of your drawings go. And the Creation festival is when every city in Creation world celebrates creation. In particular you and that other Maker of Creation World."

"B-but I drew us on Sonic World!"

"Probably screwed up. Maybe you drew you guys in well, don't you remember Mytharia?We just renamed it." He responded snidely.

And I did remember. It was another planet in the Sonic Tails comics.

"Well. I'll be seeing you tomorrow." He chuckled.

"Wait! I'll uh give you all the money you want!" I bribed hopefully.

"I'll have all the money I want when I'm ruler of Creation World!" He laughed evilly.

I watched through the small window a man about my age walk by. He met my eyes looking me up and down. I watched his eyes widen in horror. I must really look a mess. I silently pleaded with him while Egg Man droned on about what he'll do when he's ruler of the free world. The man took a deep breath. He looked awfully familiar. He started running towards us. But we were far back in the yard. I'm going to have to buy him some time.

"... And that's what I'll do with the world." Egg man finished. I started to panic.

"Ugh... What are you going to do with Celeste? Cuz you know once she hears you killed me she'll go all karate on you." I stalled.

"Ha! Easy well..." He started to talk. My eyes trained over to the guy. Now he was right behind Egg man. And oh look! He had a big stick with him! Yay! Sticks!

Egg man turned around just in time to see the guy hit him upside the head. He crumpled to the ground. The man bent down and quickly checked his pulse.

"It's okay he's still alive. Just knocked out." He said fumbling inside Egg man's pockets. He pulled out a bunch of keys.

He tried 5 big brass keys before he unlocked the door of my cell. I ran up to him and gave him an awkward hug.

"Thank you so much!" I whispered.

"No problem." He smiled.

"What time is it?" I asked after we left the lot.

He frowned. "Almost midnight. Where do you live?"

"Uh, well I don't know. I was by the grocery store when Egg man knocked me out and the grocery store is about 15 min away from my house." I replied.

"Well that's on the other side of town. So I think you should crash at my place. It's just around the corner."

I got butterflies in my stomach. Looking up at him now I had to admit he was very... perfect. I didn't know what it was about him but I realized then that it was that, that had been lacking in my other two husbands. He was different. I shook the thought out of my head. How can I be falling for a guy I just met? But I then realized I loved him.

"S-sure." I stammered coming back to reality.

We walked the rest of the way in silence. When we got to his house he wrapped my head in a bandage and brought out a blanket.

"So uh, I hope you don't mind sleeping on the couch."

"I'm fine with that." I smiled.

"Good." He said. We held our stare for a while it felt like eternity. I thought I knew then that he loved me too.

"I have to tell you something." I said nervously.

Just then the door burst open.

"Mitchy-poo! Sweetie? Oh- who's this?" A blonde woman sang in a sing song voice.

"Oh, this is.. I don't know her name actually. I just saved her from that maniac from around the corner."

"My name's Zoë." I said questioningly.

Their eyes widened.

"Like the Zoë? The Creator Zoë?" They asked.

"Uh yeah." I shrugged sheepishly.

"I- I didn't know. Wow. I just saved one of the Creators. Uh I'm Mitchell by the way."

I caught my breath. That's where I knew him from! I had a huge crush on him when I was 13. This must be one of my drawings of him!

"And I'm his Fiance Stella." The women smiled.

My throat went dry.

"Fi-Fiance?" I asked heart broken.
