When the Past Returns(Book 1)

Chapter 10: The Choice

(Sonic POV)

            I found them, Zinex was fending her off. A couple of trees were destroyed around the battle area so it made a little clearing. I held the knife, it twitched and when I looked up I saw them on the ground, on opposite side of the clearing.

            "Sonic kill him, he ruined my life!" Amy yelled/ pleaded. The love of my life, truly evil.

            "Sonic, do the right thing." Zinex said, I had to admit he was noble. He respected my decision, no matter what I chose. Then time stopped, the guy from not too long ago appeared.

            "Weird, this same exact situation happened to me." He laughed then stopped sadly, I noticed he still had his hood on. "I miss this."

            "You made this choice?" I asked him, I was trying to get some insight to see what choice I should make. He nodded.

            "Yup, two decisions I thought. I ended up having both outcomes happen to me." He told me, finally I was getting somewhere.

            "Which one did you like?" I asked him, I saw him look at the ground.

            "Hated both, should've picked the other option there was." He told me. I thought over the situation I was in, I couldn't see a third option.

            "Huh." I questioned."

            "Think about it, there are so many options." He told me, he pointed to the knife. "You could kill them both, don't kill them, knock her out and lock her up."

            "If I lock her up, what will happen?" I asked, I wanted to choose the option that brought her the least pain.

            "The worst possible future ." he simply said, at least I was getting answers.

            "What do I do?" I asked , he shrugged.

            "I honestly don't know. All of these decisions have good and bad things." He told me, choosing his words carefully.

            "Got it, anything else?" I asked.

            "Yeah. If you kill Zinex, Amy will love you forever but the others will hate you for an eternity." He raised his left hand then raised the right. "On the other hand if you kill Amy, Zinex might hate you and everyone else will be unsure of you."

            "What if I run away?" I asked, running was my thing.

            "I don't know, I can't see it. That future is very cloudy." Then he took off his hood. His hair was the color of Zinex's fur but it had a black streak in it. His eyes were the same color as his hair.

            "I've seen you before." I said, I couldn't think who he was though.

            "Ha, probably. Just be careful and choose wisely, do what you feel is right." He disappeared, time resumed. I knew what I had to do, something so crazy Amy would come back.

(Zinex POV)

            "Sorry I couldn't save you Ames, I tried but I didn't get your note in time." Sonic said smiling. He then sent the knife, which was in his hands, right into his heart.

            "SONIKKU!" Amy screamed, she watched as her love died. He was dead before he hit the ground. She ran to him, holding his lifeless body. She was screaming no, sobbing like crazy. I got up, my mace decolapsing. "WHY!?"
