Search Of The Missing Chaos (POSTPONED)

Chapter 8 - Strange

SONIC'S POV:

It's 10 in the morning. I was outside - catching some rays after a small run. It's been a while since I sweat so much, summer is far isn't it? When I stepped inside the house to cool off, I saw Amy - all dressed up. "What's up Ames? Got a date?" I smirked and asked. She looked intensely at me, "Date?! What makes you think it's a date?" She said quickly, "Uhh... You're all dressed up?" I said, she wears a yellow polo filled with pineapples - tucked in her high waisted denim pants and a high-cut red converse. "Oh, I got an appointment with my friends today" she said and slings her bag at her shoulders. Is that so? "Want some accompany? Y'know the scythe wielder..." She gripped her bag, "Well, aren't you busy?" She asked and tipped her toe a little.

"Me, pshhh, I'm never busy" I said and walked with her out of the door and we walk down the street.

She's really quiet, or she just like to be quiet? She sighed deeply, "OHHH! I really miss my friends! Can't wait, can't WAIT!!" She gripped my shirt and shook me violently, I nearly fall off the pavement. "Woah, WOAH! You shook the crap outta me!" She giggled. I never noticed her up close before.

I looked at her, the sun shimmers down on her, eliminating through her hair. I don't know what was gotten into me. Strange why at all of these times...? I always feel these butterflies and I hated it ever since and I ended up ignoring it that cost me to push the one I love away... I always feared that; If I loved someone back, I would hurt them or they'll got hurt 'cause of me. Because, I've got a lot of arch-nemesis chasing my tail almost every day.

Oh Chaos, please, not again.

Thoughts vanished as she tapped my shoulder gently. "You look, tired. Wanna go back? I can escort you home?" I feel flattered by her small acts of kindness towards me. "Nahhh! I'm good!" I smiled to assure her, "Okay!"

We are now at a public café, there are her friends; Blaze, Cream and her chao Cheese, and wait, where's that thieve bat? "GUYS!!" Amy ran towards her friends, and embrace each other. "How have you been Amy?" Blaze said, holding Amy's hand together. "I've been fine!" And Cream looked at me, "Oh, Mister Sonic is here too?" Then to Amy, "What?..." And then the two blinked, I'm confused.

"You know what, I'll just order okay?" Amy put her bag down and proceed to go to a Snack Stand. Okay, this is pretty awkward... "Why you're with Amy today?" A question from Blaze made me nervous. "Well, I just saw her walking down the street and she invited me to join, heh" phew, that went well. I fixed my quills down because I feel it springs out, wait am I tensed?

"Mhmm... But, Amy told us that she is staying with you?" And my quills sprung out, "Erm... Well, it's for her own safety, alright?" "But why she stayed with you? We are just here and we've been together for years as friends and you are a complete stranger. And she should have told me that this is all 'bout the scythe wielder" Blaze bursted out, I couldn't tell if she's angry or disappointed, "Maybe they're dating?" Cream said, "WHAT?! US? DATING?! NO! Not a chance, she probably had a boyfriend at her age" I slopped down my chair, it's not like that I'll try and date her, no, I haven't thought of dating someone for years. "Miss Amy? She doesn't have a boyfriend or anything that's why we are very cautious when she's staying with a guy. No offense." The rabbit said, Blaze fixed her clothes and cleared her throat.

What's taking Ames so long? Maybe I should check. "I gotta go check on Amy" I zoomed to the counter and I saw her holding our orders. "Hey, what took you so long?" She didn't respond, "Ames? You alright?" She just looked and I noticed her necklace - why it looks, darker than the usual? By the blink of my eyes, I saw her collap. I quickly held her head, "Amy! Amy, hey, wake up!" I tapped her face lightly.

When I was about to lift her up, her chest lifted up, I felt her hands, gripping around my neck. As I fully stood up, "Ames, you're a little heavy for a girl" I didn't hear any response but her hands started to gripped too hard. "Amy it hurts-!!" She's choking me!

I felt the cold ground underneath my back as Amy tries to kill me. I opened my eyes and saw her appearance is unsual... Her vibrant pink hair got a little darker - her eyes had gone. This form was familiar to me somehow.

I need to think fast, I'll suffocate! I don't want to hurt her, no, not good to hit a woman.

I was fighting the urge of my eyes, starting to close as I try to pull her away. But the more I push her hands away, it gets tight even more along with heavy force, impaling me down"

I fainted. I don't see anything but bright light. I tried to move my fingers but, no use. I can't move, I can't feel myself. Luckily, I can still hear my surroundings. Shouting, yelling, glass breaking and mumbling was heard. I want to stand up and help Amy... She's not in good condition...

> > >

The cold ground was now exchanged by a soft warm, matress. A pair of soft hands enclosed mine. I gently grip the hand back to respond and let them know I'm alive. I opened my eyes - blurry vision was present. I can't picture who's beside me, I can't hear clearly. But I'm sure someone's softly crying.

"Where am I?" The first phrase came out of my mouth after the events of Amy choking me. I jolted up, still figuring who's around me "You're at the hospital bed... Don't sit up, you'll get dizzy" I laid back down. The one who's talking was the one who's holding my hand, I can feel it.

I already knew why I'm here. "Is Amy... Fine? She turned into something... I don't know" I said and rubbed my eyes - someone is also in a hospital bed beside mine. I swear that petite form was familiar. I closed my eyes and opened it - it was Amy. I sat up, "Amy! You okay? Still remember what happened? Tell me, did I hurt you, hit you?" She just giggled.

"How could you just smile after that? You got me worried. What if that form consumes you?!" I said, almost scolding her. "I can't remember anything y'know. Blaze just told me what I did, and I was unaware of my actions. But still, guilty was eating me up knowing that I almost killed you."
