Android (Chapter 4)

I felt like someone had just hit me in the head with a rock. I tried hard to remember what had happened, but all I could think of was images of Anara pressing the panels on her belt, that guilty look, Emmet's worried face.
I heard a terrible groaning sound and I realized it had come from me. I was afraid to open my eyes, but I did anyway. I tried to sit up, only to discover that my wrists were bound behind my back. Also, blindfold. Of course.
I felt like my throat was half closed up and I was still sweating. I remembered, I had passed out in Anara's attic. Anara.... Had she done this to me?.... Us?
Emmet! Was he here?
"Emmet...." I groaned, sounding like I was dying. Maybe I was.
"Tails?" I heard an anxious, but croaking voice.
"Earwig! Is that you?" I cried out.
"Yeah! Tails?" Emmet's voice came again and he laughed with relief.
"I'm so glad to hear from you!" I said, smiling, "Well, I'm not glad that you're here, here being all bad and mysterious...."
There was a silence and Emmet said, "Um.... Where is here?"
I turned in the direction that I assumed Emmet was sitting and said, "Gee, Earwig, I would gladly tell you if  I could see where in Lord's name we are."
Emmet said, sounding annoyed, "It was just a question.... So you're blindfolded too?"
Crap. "Yes."
"Wrists tied behind your back?"
I nodded and realized that Emmet couldn't see, "Uh.... Yeah."
"Any idea what happened?" Emmet asked.
I was so mad that Emmet couldn't see, because if he could, I definitely would've given him a 'don't be an idiot' look, "What do you think?"
"Sorry...." Emmet said, "You don't have to be so hard on me."
"Earwig," I said, trying to raise an eyebrow at him, "Then I wouldn't be very good at being Tails."
Emmet laughed quietly and I fought back a grin, which was kind of useless, because Emmet couldn't see me anyway.
"Okay, I got one for you, Tails." Emmet said, "What do you think happened?"
I was silent. I had an idea, but I didn't want to tell Emmet.
"Well, er...." I said quietly.
"What?" Emmet said, "Just tell me, Tails."
I sighed, happy that I didn't have to look at him, "Well, I think..... It seemed like....."
"Here, I'll say it for you, you baby." Emmet scoffed, "You think that your 'friend' Anara might have turned on us and kidnapped us. What a surprise, to be kidnapped by a robot! How shocking!"
I wanted to slap Emmet, but I had no idea how far away he was and my aim would probably be completely off.
I thought over the idea of Anara kidnapping us. I didn't want to believe it, I thought Anara was good. I really couldn't bring myself to believe that she wasn't. She seemed so sweet and helpless when I actually talked to her, but now....
"Remember what she said, Tails?" Emmet said firmly, "Remember what she said right before you passed out?"
I was silent and Emmet said, "'Please forgive me, Tails."
I shook my head, "You're wrong about her, Earwig."
Emmet laughed hollowly, "Is that so? So, you're telling me that Anara didn't capture us and this is all a figment of our imagination?"
An idea suddenly floated through my head and I didn't think it would work, but I tried it out anyway. I focused hard on the ropes binding my hands.
After noticing my long silence, which wasn't normal for me, Emmet said timidly, "T-Tails? Are you okay?"
"Shh." I said, trying to push everything besides the ropes out of my mind.
Suddenly, I felt the ropes on my wrists heat up and I didn't break my focus. They were so hot that I had to bite my lip to keep from screaming.
I smiled when the ropes binding my wrists broke with a poof.
I took off my blindfold and Emmet said meekly, "W-what just happened? Tails?"
"Be quiet, Earwig." I said as I started to untie his wrists.
"Tails! How did you get loose?" Emmet cried.
"Ever heard of telekinesis?" I said, feeling cool and proud of myself.
"Well, yeah, from books...." Emmet said, "Wait- You have telekinesis? Why didn't you tell me, Tails?"
I rolled my eyes, "Don't be stupid. I was thinking about your theory, about how maybe Anara didn't capture us and maybe this was just a figment of our imagination..."
"That wasn't a theory, Tails," Emmet said flatly, "That was me making fun of you."
"Well, it worked, didn't it?" I said, grinning.
Emmet pulled the blindfold off his eyes and he looked around in wonder. 
"Woah," He said, "Check it out, Tails...."
I nodded, "See? I think you were right, I think this is all a dream. None of this could possibly be real."
We were in a huge room where all the walls were made of this weird shiny metal that glowed blue. The floors were made of the same material.
"Wow," Emmet said, laughing, "This is crazy!"
I nodded again and grabbed his wrist, "Come on, Earwig. Let's get out of here."
"Yeah..." Emmet said, almost in a daze.
We left the room, yes, the door was open, and jogged down the hallway and to the front door. The whole building was made of that weird gleaming metal.
I grasped the huge metal handle of the front door and tried to open it; It was too hard.
"Here, I'll help." Emmet said.
I shook my head, "No, I'm okay."
Emmet raised an eyebrow at me and I looked down at my hands. My knuckles were white and my veins were popping out of my wrists.
"Fine." I said, reluctantly letting Emmet help me pull the door open. I guess it was kind of a two-person job.
Together we tugged on the huge metal door and it started to open. I felt a sudden tension, but I couldn't explain why.
With one last yank, the door swung open. Emmet and I stared out into the world in front of us, unable to believe our eyes.
