Ch. 2

By: Cutegirlmayra (Ugh, sorry for putting this off for so long... Hw is killing me T-T Anyway, I'm starting to grow confident in continuing this... that's a lie, I'm still so nervous! –Sees views keep doubling and reviews are STILL coming in- Uhh... maybe I can make them forget about this story by posting other chapters on my other stories! –doesn't work, there's not NEARLY enough views nor reviews to keep me going on that- T-T Fine, you leave me no choice. –begins writing this chapter while silently crying- why did I make this story again? Edited note: What comes next indeed. Stick around for when edits are done for the premiere of Season 2! Also, I'm not nearly as nervous as I used to be about all this xD It's more innocent than most things, and it's mostly about Animal behaviors anyway lol enjoy the edited remakes~)

"Is she..?" Sonic stared a moment into her eyes, taking side-glances at Tails when the stillness never waned. Patiently, her eyes would wander with alertness towards Sonic, then Tails. A small whimper escaped her lips, her head lowering every now and then as she continued to seek understanding but to no avail.

"Can't you tell?" Tails stated, breaking from his tense stance and trying to relax. He thought Sonic should know just by her eyes alone, but maybe he still needed time to fully connect back with his body.

"Well, y-yeah but..."

"Quick, let's get her to my lab. I'll try and find out more about her instinct when I charge up my MilesElectric." He picked the device up from the stairs and plopped it into the other hand, turning back to Sonic with a smile on his face before seeing his friend looking strange.

"Sonic..? You alright?"

Even though recently released from being imprisoned inside his mind, Sonic felt a strange stirring as he stared at Amy's whimpering body.

It was the strangest sensation to make his way over to her, try and comfort her with calming words, kneeling just outside the nest.

But he resisted the urgings, before feeling his body slam him down to his feet and hands, an electric jolt coursing through him. It came all the way into his mind, exciting him. Without an outlet, Sonic's body shook and his quills spiked from the energy increase, and that's when her scent became apparent again.

He plugged his nose, "Alright." Sonic clearly wasn't, but Tails knew by his response that he needed a minute. Sonic then turned his head a little, still trying to regain himself, and noticed the device in Tails's hands. Sonic's body recalled the first-time Tails tried to 'investigate' what was happening to him before, and a reflex made him pull away at the sight of it.

He tried to take deep breaths, even with Amy's scent being just as powerful as before. It must have dulled when he wasn't fully reconnected with his body, but now that he was...

A panic that he didn't understand tugged at his chest. He knew his Instincts wanted to protect Amy now and was probably reacting to Tails's words. Tails knew better than to enact the same 'tests' he did on Sonic, so he trusted him, but that didn't mean his body was going to calm down any time soon.

Still trying to master himself again, he decided it was best to get Amy out the door. At least then, the scent would diffuse into the surrounding air, and he'd be able to freely breathe a bit easier then. Even with the threat of young males shifting at her scent, tracking her down and trying to find her, Sonic knew that as long as Tails monitored his and Amy's interaction—they should be fine. "Amy,...uh..." He removed the hand covering his mouth, getting upright again. She seemed to look curiously up to him, recognizing the name he spoke, but only somewhat. It just seemed a natural response to having a creature look at you, and then say a familiar sound you've only heard by ear. She wondered why she knew the sound, but didn't question it further when he started to approach. "C-come here." He patted the side of his leg, moving forward. He wasn't sure if calling her like this was the best way to go about it, but at this moment she was an animal.
