Just a Dream

Chapter 17 :Those Mixed Emotions

It had been four weeks since Sonic and Amy began training. Long hours out in the sun and it was all worth it. Around the first week Sonic and Amy learned the basic stuff, fighting, climbing, and sensing. They both trained together until around the time Sonic passed his test and moved on with the big guys.
Amy wasn't all the good with fighting and all that technic. She kept her practice with Lady Rosie, still needed practice.

Sonic was much quicker than before. He learned to use his power with style. His knowledge grew and his attitude was more decisive. He had the ability of Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee, a quickster for dodging moves and thinking. He quickly arose with the rest of the crowd while she stayed lonely at the bottom. Sonic had always been at top of the student food chain. He fitted in with any crowd.

Amy's power, meanwhile, was a little harder to control. She could tell past present and future, but it took time, since she couldn't concentrate. Not when Sonic was laughing across the field from her with his new buddy pals and all.

Sonic and Amy didn't talk the way they did before when they had just begun to get along. She never thought—she never dreamed for the two even being friends, spending the afternoons out in the village's stores or out in the river, field, just the two of them having a great time. Sonic was separated away from her by the second week. They didn't sleep in the same room anymore. Sonic had his own room upstairs the Celphiz. She kept the room she had been sleeping in. The room was lonely without Sonic and for the first time in her life she wished he was right below her to keep her company.

The saddest part about this was that when she tried to visit Sonic, Lady Rosie would not let her. She explained that she couldn't be near him as much like before. It only caused her to get even more upset, but she'd get to see him soon since the villagers were taking Sonic and Amy to Yubala's layer in just two days. For now she had to train.

The rain was strong outside, like pebbles falling down and hitting you hard on the head. Amy was sitting down on the wet grass from the field. She was on the highlands on a steep hill. She sat crisscross, her eyes closed and her hands on her laps. The air was cold and all she had been wearing was a sweater... now wet. She was drenched with water, but that didn't bother her.

Amy was silently listening to her surroundings. Being quiet and sensing danger was something she couldn't master but she practiced every day every morning. Sadly this morning she had a meeting with Lady Rosie and the head honchos of the villages and many others who had come so she was making up for it now.

She remembered the way they sat in the sides of a large rectangular table. There she saw Sonic for the first time in weeks she felt. He sat across from her just down a few chairs. Sonic had a glance to see Amy himself too, but all he did when he was her was look at her like if he didn't know her. Throughout the meeting he was serious, mature and talked like an adult; all the things Sonic wasn't capable of doing. She hadn't talked at all. She felt so small there. They had planned out the trip to Yubala's. They had to find the magical rose which contained both of their curses. One of the mayors from another land had asked her if she agreed with this. She never liked the idea of agreeing with anything here in the first place, but she had to do what she was told. She agreed.

Thinking about this morning got Amy distracted and unable to concentrate. She opened her eyes and sighed, cold fog coming out from her mouth. She watched the grass as the rain hit it and the water droplets feel to the ground's soil. She was never going to survive this.

She remembered the fortune teller card she flipped that day when she had arrived. The skeleton and the blood on her fingers, the way it popped out. Amy shuttered, the cold getting to her now. She hated this. She stood up and looked around. The fog from the clouds covered the town's village and she couldn't see the mobians below.
