Amy's Story Chapter 6

Chapter Six: Lovely Poison




The robots shoved us in separate glass capsules and flew away.

“That’s gonna be one of your futures,” Eggman continued.

“What do you mean ‘one’ of them?” Sally asked warily.

“Start the gases!” he shouted to someone on the bridge, and a gas came through the air vents at the bottom of the container. My eyes immediately watered and the pain in my arm, leg, and neck flared up. There was a slight bitter smell to the gas that made me cough so hard I thought I would throw up a lung.

“You see, you have two fates. You can die from poisonous gas, or hot lava. Either way -”

“EGGMAN! WHERE ARE THEY?!”

The voice made my heart skip beats and I tried to find him through the tears. He stood several feet from us, looking furious.

“Sonic!” I weakly groaned. He turned to see us in our prisons, and his expression turned from angry to shocked, and then to pure hatred. His quills began turning midnight blue, and his pupils from that perfect, shining emerald green to pure coal black.

He had become dark Sonic.

“Hand them over!” he snapped.

Eggman smirked, seeming to have fun toying with Sonic, “Let me make you a deal, Sonic. I will allow you to have one of the girls, but the other one will go into a volcano! If you want to same them both, you have to surrender to me!”

Oh, we were so screwed!

“Sonic, don’t do it! Don’t surrender!” Sally yelled through her own hacking.

I was going to die, I knew I was. There was no way he was going to choose me over her –

“Amy. I choose Amy.”

“WHAT?!” Sally cried, shocked.

My container disappeared and I fell to the floor, gasping for clean air. Sonic ran to me with lightning speed and hugged me, whispering. “Are you okay?”

But he didn’t give me time to answer. The bottom of Sally’s capsule fell out from under her and she screamed as she fell toward the volcano. Sonic let me go and dived off the railing. I screamed after him and stumbled to the rail, my legs barely able to carry me. They kept falling and falling – what was he thinking! They were both going to die!

“SONIC!”

Out of nowhere Tails flew under them in his airplane and caught them. I breathed a sigh of relief and my heart beat began to slow down.

Something grabbed me from behind and I was in the container again, “Hey! Let me out!” I screamed, pounding on the glass. Poisonous gas came through the vents and I felt that dying pain again. There was no one on deck to hear me scream. I was all alone. I kept coughing; my eyes were sore and red. I could feel my consciousness slipping away.

A sudden pounding made my look up. Sonic, no longer dark, had a tortured look on his face as he beat against the glass with his fists.  He gave up and madly dashed toward my prison, hitting the glass with so much force I thought he might hurt the both of us, but it did no damage.

“What if I shot at the glass?” Tails shouted from the X Tornado.

“No, you might kill her!” Sonic objected.

“I still have one stick of dynamite left. We could blow it up!” Sally suggested.

“That’s worse than shooting the glass!”

I was being pulled farther and farther into a black pool of death. My feet could no longer hold me up as I slid down the side of the capsule. Sonic knelt beside me, his face becoming more and more unbearable for me to see. The pain in my arm and leg tortured me, their voices became hard of hearing, like I was far away.

“Sally, go look for some kind of switch on the bridge! Please!”

“Sonikku, I – I -”

“Shh, don’t worry Ames, I’ll get you out if it’s the last thing I do,”

Sonic and I stared at each other for a long time. Sonic the Hedgehog was the last thing I would see. My vision was spotting, fading in and out. I had no real sense of what went on anymore. A cracking sound pierced my ears, and through my squinted eyes I could see the beginning of a crack. My ears drooped, my hearing cut off completely, and the pain started to go away. I let my eyes close against the harsh world, ready for death to take me.





Sonic and Amy sat on a mountain ledge, looking down at the golden orange sea, the children running across the beach, and the sun setting over the horizon. Amy was content with her arms around Sonic’s waist and his around her shoulder.

Sonic lifted her chin up with his fingertips, leaned in, and whispered, “Wake up, Amy,”





My eyes flitted open and the first thing I saw was Sally leaning over me intently.

“Oh good, you’re awake,”

“You mean I’m . . . alive?” I yawned, “How long have I been out? And where’s Sonic?”

“At least four days, and as for Sonic, he stepped out an hour ago and should be back soon. Apparently there’s been another Eggman attack. I’ll say that he hasn’t left since you checked into the hospital,”

I sat up and rubbed my eyes free of sleep. I felt so groggy. My brain couldn’t wake up fast enough, and all the muscles in my body were sore.

“He really does care about you,” Sally said, “He nearly cried with you in his arms on th way to get you to safety. All he did was whisper, ‘I’m sorry,’”

“Really?” I asked gleefully.

“Really, and . . . I want you to have him,”

I couldn’t believe my ears!

“But . . .why?” why was I asking in the first place.

“Look, sweetie, I’m not in for a serious relationship with him, just a little fun. You, on the other hand, want him for the long term. You obviously love him more than I do,”

The door creaked open and Sonic tiptoed in, taking in my awakened position. His expression turned joyful, “Excellent, you’re awake!”

“Well, I’ll leave you two alone,” Sally gave me a wink and walked past Sonic out the door.

“How are you feeling?” he asked, sitting down and taking hold of my hand.

“Fine, now that you’re here,” I softly cheered. I threw off the sheets and stood up, only to stumble and be caught by him.

“I think you’re not ready to walk yet!” he fretted, making me sit down once more. I noticed that my arm and leg were stitched up for a second time.

“Ames?”

“Yes Sonic?”

“There’s . . . something I need to tell you. While you were . . . just about dead, I was thinking the whole time about how I’ve ran away from you, and how stupid I was, and I realized that I . . . I love you,”

This was the moment I’d been waiting for my whole life. Sonic had recovered from his blindness and apprehended that he loved me as much as I did him. But how could I know if it was a trick or not?

“You’re probably thinking this is a joke,” he responded as if he could read my mind, “but I can prove it to you.”

My blue love wrapped his tan arms around my waist and leaned in slowly, making the moment more suspenseful. Our lips touched, and I felt a fabulous sensation of true love! It was everything I imagined, soft and sweet, with fireworks going off inside my head. It was a wonderful few minute until we came up for air, and then he held me in his arms, our heavy breathing filling the silence. My eyes brimmed over with tears of happiness.

“My Amy. My beautiful, kind, loving Amy,” Sonic cooed.

“My Sonikku,” I whispered back, “My handsome, fast, strong Sonniku,”
