Beauty in the Breakdown

Chapter 4 ~ "Safe and Go Back To Sleep"

I didn't want to wake up. I felt safe where I was and also alone. My brain started to wonder inside my head. What did I do last night? I tried to remember but nothing came to mind, I turn on my side with the light hitting my face. I cover my face trying to hide from the sun. "Hey look, she moved!" A familiar voice said as it touched my arm. It felt cold...

I had to wake up, I tried to opened my eyes but made more movement in my hands. "Thank God! I thought she wouldn't wake up!" Another voice yelled as it came closer to me. I knew that voice, it belongs to Rouge. I opened my eyes to find Rouge and Cream near my bed. Rouge carried a worry look as for Cream, she was trying to get closer to me with a smile upon her face as she held her hands right to the side of the bed.

"What happen, why are you in my room," I said as fear started to build inside me, realizing I wasn't in my room. It was a white room with the words G.U.N.H written on the walls, a white counter, and a nightstand near me with couple of bottles with the labels 'medicine' on them. What's going on? I started to get up but Rouge place her hand on my shoulder to make me stop shaking in fear and said, "Amy, you're in the hospital. It's best if you don't try to get up right now."

"Hospital? Since when?" I asked sounding shocked.

"Since last night. The aircraft blown up and it almost took you with it," She said calmly as Cream climbed on the bed and hugged me tightly.

"Everyone was worried that the creature might have gotten you!" Cream said as she was about to cry. I tried to think back last night remember a hedgehog that resembled Sonic but wasn't Sonic... That's weird?

"It did get me. It was holding me when the aircraft blew up. I remember the creature... It looked like Sonic but with blood red eyes and black round they and I believe blood was streaming down from his eyes. I saw him. He was talking to me... He knew me..."

Rouge nod to me then reply saying, "We believe you and the reason why it knew you is because the creature was one of Eggman Robots that went out of control."

"What!? No, it was alive. Like us. He was a lot like Sonic but a bit creepy." I tried saying but Rouge shook her head in disagreement and Cream didn't know what to say. Then Rouge place her hand on my shoulder and said, "I bet it was at night. Sometimes in the dark we see things that aren't there."

"I saw it and I'm pretty sure it was no robot," I said trying not to yell.

"Actually Amy, it was a Metal Sonic you saw last night," a voice said. The voice gave me a jump scared until I turn to see Sally walk in the door with flowers in her hand and Bunnie following behind her. Sally carried a concerned look as she stared at me, then continue saying, "After the crash, Metal Sonic was around hurting other people and some of the G.U.N. members that survived knew that they saw Metal Sonic killing and hurting our team. We started to believe that you might have ran into it since we found you in a horrible state of a coma and we had to get you to a hospital soon before shock kicked in."

"Coma... But that can't be true, I was fine. I never once got hurt, but I saw something more than a Metal Sonic." Sally signed wishing she could been somewhere else.

"Metal Sonic was the only thing that was top secret on that aircraft and there was no other proof of anything else on there." Sally said. That can't be, I said to myself, than a thought came to my head.... The flash drive!

"Wait! The flash drive had something on what I've been trying to talk about! Where is it?" I tried scanning the room for it but couldn't see the drive on the counter or nightstand ...where is the flash drive?"

"The flash drive is missing." Sally said with a defeated sigh as she place the flowers on the nightstand and gave Rouge and Cream the stare of 'Get out.' They left of course, so did Bunnie but Rouge looked like she was about to put up a fight with Sally. Once they were out, Sally sat right next to me.
