I Loved You Too (Fixing)

Chapter ■ 5| Blind Chase

Eggman left the room, metal shut tight behind, leaving the vulnerable emerald on his throne. I watched it intently slowly leaving my hiding spot, carrying this heavy feeling within myself, I can't figure out what its source was, my skin stood on one end as my hands start to shift in sweat.

"Crap (y/n)! stay calm!"

I muttered to my inner self this inkling sensation was quite bothersome, the target is already at my face, hypnotizing me. Embracing myself as if something bad will happen as I plundered the emerald that was sitting nicely at the metallic hutch.

"see...that wasn't so bad isn't it?"

gladly held it out, never knew it will be such an easy task, I just have to get out of this odd place, and just hope I can reach out to Starline or Infinite.

"I-infinite?... Starline, where are you two?"

*no response*

"I have now your stupid emerald Starline, give me your location so we can get this over with..."

*no response*

I felt my skin boil again at how obnoxious this duck or whatever he is. risking my life getting this emerald and now he has the audacity not to accept my call? with all this computer hardware radiating light within this room, I doubt this place can't get any sort of reception. I can't withstand here waiting while this unnerving feeling still evident.

"Starline..."

"I-infinite... where are you?"

*no response*

*sighs*

"Guess I'll find my way out of her-"

*!!*

"w-wha?...WHAT THE?"

"Not so fast."

A deep, cold voice rang through my ears, unbeknownst if it is just the wind whispered behind my ear, but I felt something pressured on my midriff etching a pulse then summable pain took over... I gasped at it, falling over, accidentally dropping the emerald at my hand. My eyes went wide, glinting towards the emerald rolling before slamming harshly towards the metallic floor. Teeth clashed soothing in the sudden pain. My mind was confuzzled as to whom had done that.

My eyes locked on to the shadowy figure who stood where emerald resides... slowly picking it up while his intense glare stared back to my face. He can't have that! I was so close! My mind ticks off in annoyance, it's because of this stupid place.

"I can't let you get this... I don't want to let that thing happen again"

A figure appeared in my vision, eyes widened, I feel I have seen him somewhere... a pink scaled figure with a yellow horn sticking out between his eyes, this rolled up tail and finishing it off with the familiar piercing yellow eyes.

"The chameleon!"

the chameleon I had crossed path at the ship, my fear doubles more with those glaring yellow eyes again that feels like piercing right through my body.

"I'll be taking this."

chameleon spoke before running away, my fear instantly celebrates, he can't have it! My fear doubled, I knew someone is following me back then, I can't let it get away! or Starline is going to end me! I... I can't let him break my last chips... I must have it... not him!
