The Blair Witch Project
Chapter 1: The Blair Witch Project
A few months back, three hedgehogs decided to create a film in the Mystic Ruins that's located very close to Station Square. During that time, all three of them disappeared while they were in the middle of filming.
A few months later, their footage was found.
Sighing heavily, Amy tried not to pout as Knuckles went back to sitting on his Master Emerald. The pink hedgehog had asked him if he wanted to do a documentary with her about a creepy legend of a witch that existed deep within the Mystic Ruins. Unfortunately, the red echidna refused and insisted that he stayed with the Master Emerald at all times.
That disappointed the girl.
Amy huffed and turned away from him, packing up her camera and shoving it into her bag. She already asked Tails and he said no. She asked Silver too, and even Blaze! They even told her no! Amy shook her head and started walking away, crossing the bridge and then hurrying up to the train station to catch the next train to Station Square. As she ran to the train station, she noticed Sonic the Hedgehog, her hero, sitting in the grass and leaning against a tree, eyes closed. It was obvious that he was taking a good nap. Amy thought of asking him, so she ran over. Plus, she wanted a hug too.
"HI, SONIC!" Amy squawked, jumping onto him and hugging him as tight as she could.
Sonic performed a mixture between a noise of pain and choking, feeling the wind being knocked out of him. To his complete horror, Amy was crushing him in a hug! Sonic desperately fought against her, but it was no use! He endured for a few minutes until Amy let go of him. Sonic let out a huge breath and placed a hand over his heart, eyes wide with irritation and high annoyance. Why in the world did Amy wake him up from his nap? He was having good dreams! Now, he woke up in a nightmare!
"Amy," Sonic muttered, sounding upset. "Why did you wake me up? Didn't you see that I was sleeping?"
Amy gave him a brilliant grin and giggled, kissing his cheek, which Sonic grimaced at. The pink hedgehog dug into her bag and pulled out her camera, showing it to her hero. "Sonic," she sang, waving it in his face. "Can you do me a favor?"
"No…"
"Aw, come on!"
Sonic gave her a look and crossed his arms over his chest in a firm fold, scooting away from her on the grass. "Why should I? You rudely woke me up from my nap and almost killed me! I couldn't breathe when you were hugging me, Amy! Seriously!" Sonic was clearly fed up with the female hedgehog and wanted nothing to do with her at the moment. Yeah, sure, Amy was his friend, but he was getting tired of her useless antics.
Amy put on a pout. "I'm sorry, my darling Sonic! I didn't mean to!"
"Right…"
"Please, Sonic? Can you do me a favor?" she asked, showing him the camera once again. "Please?"
Sonic pushed the camera away, irked. "Fine, fine! What is it, Amy?"
A smile curled the pink hedgehog's lips and she seemed very merry all of a sudden, happy that Sonic was going to do this favor for her. "It's really simple!" she squealed like a piglet. "I'm going to go deep into the Mystic Ruins-"
"We're already in the Mystic Ruins…"
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" blared Amy.
Sonic held up his hands, frightened. "Okay, okay. Please, continue…"
"Ahem." Amy cleared her throat and was all smiles again. "Anyway, I need two people to come into the deep Mystic Ruins with me to do a documentary about the legend of the witch that lives in there! So far…nobody wants to do it with me. Everyone said no except for you and Shadow."
The blue speedster stared at the pink hedgehog for a long moment, contemplating about it. If he did this, Amy would probably leave him alone for a while! Plus, he really didn't believe in no legend about a witch and he never even heard about it, so it probably wouldn't take too long! Besides, Sonic was becoming bored because Eggman hasn't done anything crucially wrong these past few days. Sonic needed some action!
"Alright. Sounds legit." Sonic nodded.
"REALLY?! OH THANK YOU MY DARLING SONIC! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" Amy attacked the poor guy with another hug, squeezing him to death.
Sonic struggled to get air into his lungs properly, but it was very difficult with Amy crushing him like that. "Amy," he managed to say through his horrible struggle. "I can't…I can't…breathe…!"
Amy Rose let go of Sonic instantly and grabbed his hand, pulling him to his feet while the blue hedgehog gasped for air. Amy giggled at him and then started running over to the train station, which wasn't too far from where they were. As soon as they reached it, the doors to the train opened and Amy dragged Sonic inside, the doors closing immediately. Now, the train was taking them back to Station Square. Shadow lived somewhere there and Amy was going to ask him to join her on her expedition.
"This is going to be so fun!" Amy clapped her hands, entirely delighted.
Sonic rolled his green eyes. "Yay…yay, fun…"
Anyway, the two hedgehogs eventually reached Station Square and Amy hopped off of the train, pulling Sonic with her. It took some time, but the pink hedgehog finally found Shadow's apartment. It was a nice and quaint apartment in the center of Station Square, which Amy wouldn't have minded living there. Amy used her fist to knock on Shadow's door and waited a few minutes. Sonic was leaning against the wall on her right, arms folded while he tapped his foot impatiently on the ground.
When the door opened, Shadow showed his face and he seemed very agitated, like he had been woken up from a glorious slumber. "Rose…faker…" Shadow mumbled dully, using his red eyes to inspect the two other hedgehogs. "What…are you two doing here?"
"Wow, Shadow," said Amy, looking worried. "You don't look so good!"
Shadow gritted his teeth. "I was sleeping…!"
"Oh, oops…!" giggled Amy, putting a hand over her mouth. "Anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to do a documentary with me and my darling and lovable Sonic? I need one more person and, so far, everyone's said no!"
"I can imagine why…" the black hedgehog trailed off, narrowing his red eyes into dangerous slits. He was incredibly annoyed and he could see the annoyance on the faker's face too. Amy probably gave him no choice and, to his terror, he assumed that she would do the same to him if he didn't cooperate.
Amy smiled brightly at him. "So, what do you say, Shadow? Will you do it? Pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"That's not a question, Shadow," Sonic piped up, unfolding his arms and moving to stand next to the pink hedgehog. "That's an order."
Shadow's body went rigid at the news and he stared at them for a very long time before breathing out a very deep sigh and shaking his head. "Fine. I'll do it, Rose. This is the only favor I am doing for you. Do not ask anything else of me, got it?"
"I got it, Shadow!" Amy jumped for joy.
Shadow turned his back on them and walked into his apartment. "I need to gather some things and then I'll be ready…"
"Okay!" chirped Amy, excited. "We're going to my place to start filming and then we'll head on over to the deep Mystic Ruins to film some more! Ha!"
Shadow didn't say anything to that.
Anyway, like Amy had stated, they all ventured to her little house that was painted entirely pink and Sonic and Shadow occupied the living room while Amy got the camera ready and stuff. She had packed the necessary things for their trip; a tent, a bedroll, a pillow, flashlights, a map of the deep Mystic Ruins, food, water, and her hammer, which was something she always carried with her, packed or unpacked.
"I have a feeling that we're making a big mistake…" Shadow groaned, introducing his face to his palm, shaking his head afterwards.
Sonic glanced at him. "You and me both."
"Boys!" Amy sang as she frolicked into the room, all bubbly and excited about their adventure. She had the camera on and she was filming the blue and black hedgehogs. "Sonic! I need you to start filming now, please!"
"Why?"
"PLEASE?!"
"…Fine."
Amy squealed with unhidden delight and handed over the camera to her blue hero. Sonic lazily took it and started filming the pink hedgehog. "Alright, ready?" Sonic questioned her, zooming in and out on the petite hedgehog.
"Ready!" laughed Amy, gesturing around her. "Okay, so this is my fabulous home, as you can see! Everything is pink and pink is my favorite color so that's why I have the pink walls, the pink carpet, the pink furniture-"
"The pink everything." Shadow cut her off, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Amy whirled around to face him. "Be quiet, you!"
"Okay," Shadow drawled, uninterested in bantering with the little pink hedgehog.
Amy turned back around and huffed, smoothing out her red dress and fixing her pink quills. "Anyway, as I was saying, this is my lovely and glorious home! I am, unfortunately, leaving the comfort of its sweetness!"
"Uh huh…" Sonic kept the camera on her.
"So, I'll be leaving for the weekend, you know, to explore the Blair Witch!" Amy announced, hopping up and down with excitement.
Shadow put his red eyes on her and Sonic turned the camera to him. "Wait, the Blair Witch?"
"Mhm!"
Shadow got strangely silent.
Amy suddenly brought out some books, shoving it in front of the camera. "I've been reading books about how to stay alive in the woods, which is the Mystic Ruins!" She explained, talking really fast for some reason. "Well, because, you never know what's going to happen out there in the wilderness!"
"Nothing's going to happen, Amy…" put in Sonic, still holding the camera up.
"Aaaaaaand cut!" Amy snapped her fingers at the blue hedgehog, signaling for him to stop recording.
Sonic ceased the recording and lowered the camera, pursing his lips and staring at the pink hedgehog. "So, what now? Are we actually leaving today or tomorrow?" he asked, hoping that they would leave tomorrow. He really didn't feel like going anywhere today.
"We're leaving today, silly!" Amy responded, snatching the camera away from the blue hedgehog. "Shadow, do you have a car?" she asked.
Shadow hesitated before replying, "…yes?"
"I need you to go get it and pack everything inside, mkay?"
"Yes, your highness."
Shadow removed himself from Amy's couch and quickly left the house, happy to not be seeing so much pink and irate to being commanded by the little hedgehog. Anyway, the Ultimate Life Form got his black Lexus and drove it to Amy's house, which didn't take too long. He put all of his things in the trunk and then honked the horn of the car to get Amy and Sonic's attention.
Amy burst out of the house first, followed by a sluggish Sonic. The pink hedgehog had the camera on and she was recording. "Hey, it's Mr. Frown!"
"Is that the best you can do?" Shadow hissed at her, getting out of his vehicle and trekking over to his trunk, flipping it open and waiting for Sonic and Amy to put their things inside.
Amy hummed in reply, still putting the camera in Shadow's face while Sonic grabbed all of Amy's things from inside of the house and dumped them into the trunk. Shadow tried to get away from Amy and her stupid camera as he hurried over to the driver's seat, turning on some rock music (I Am All of Me) and sitting down, getting ready to drive off. Amy still had the camera on his face.
"So, Shadow!" spoke Amy, grinning from ear to ear. "How do you feel about our expedition that consists of the mysterious Blair Witch?"
Shadow looked about ready to explode. "How do I feel? How do I feel?"
Amy nodded, still filming the black hedgehog's face. "Yeah, tell me how you feel!"
"I feel ecstatic…" Shadow fibbed, gripping the steering wheel very tightly.
Huffing, Amy cut off the camera and closed it, giving Shadow an irritated expression. "Shadow! You have to be more emotional about it!"
"Leave him alone, Amy," Sonic chuckled, amused. "He's in a sour mood."
"Like always?" retorted the pink hedgehog.
The speedster nodded his head and got into the backseat of the car, putting on his seatbelt and folding his arms across his chest. "Yes. Now let's go, please. I want to get this over with as fast as possible."
Sighing, Amy inserted herself into the car and shut the door behind her, buckling up. She didn't talk to Shadow as he slammed his own door shut and put the car in reverse, backing up and then zooming away from Amy's ridiculous pink house. After a while of driving with Shadow's music blasting, the pink hedgehog turned on her camera again and started filming Sonic in the back seat, who looked extremely bored and staring out of the window.
"Sonic!" Amy chirped.
Sonic flinched and then slowly turned his head to look at her. "Yeah, Ames?"
"How do you feel about all of this?" queried Amy.
"Uh…good, I guess?" Sonic shrugged.
Amy simpered at him in elation. "Well, thank you for coming with me, Sonic. I really appreciate it!"
"Don't mention it, Ames."
Amy then turned off the camera and put it away, turning back around and getting comfortable in her seat. "Okay, now we have to go to the supermarket."
"What?" Shadow seethed through clenched teeth.
"Take us to the supermarket, Shadow!"
"I thought you already got the necessary things!"
"I know, but I want to get some marshmallows and some tissue and paper towels!"
"Why?"
Amy pointed a finger at him, a frown coloring her facial features. "We'll be going to the bathroom out there in the wilderness, you know. We need something to, you know, clean ourselves with!"
Shadow shut up then.
"Then what's the marshmallows for?" Sonic's voice could be heard from the backseat.
Amy giggled. "Silly Sonic! That's for eating!"
Sonic stared at her as if she had grown a second head. "I know that…"
"Then why ask such a silly question?"
Sonic closed his mouth.
Anyway, they reached their destination in less than ten minutes with Shadow's high speed driving. They all went into the store and Amy instantly turned on her camera and started filming everything. "Now, where are those marshmallows?" she asked as she filmed Sonic and Shadow in front of her.
"I think they're down this aisle…" Sonic trailed off, the blue hedgehog heading off in one of the aisles. Amy and Shadow quickly followed him. Sonic eventually found the marshmallows and grabbed the biggest bag, dumping that in their shopping cart. "There. Need anything else?"
Amy peered down into the shopping cart and started filming the marshmallow bag, mouth watering by just imagining what the fluffy goodness would taste like! "Marshmallows, yummy!" The pink hedgehog reached down and started squeezing the bag. "Squishy, squishy marshmallows!"
"Can we please go now?" Sonic asked impatiently.
"Apparently she doesn't need anything else." Shadow grunted, rolling his red eyes.
And that's what they did.
They hurried back into the car and then Amy wanted to make a few more stops because she wanted to ask some people about the Blair Witch and film them explaining about it. Sonic and Shadow were entirely against this, but the stubborn pink hedgehog wouldn't listen to them. So, they went to a book store and, surprisingly, Vanilla, Cream, and Cheese owned it. Amy wanted to ask Vanilla some questions. Vanilla instantly agreed and took a seat somewhere as Amy had the camera trained on her.
"What do you know about the Blair Witch?" Amy wanted to know, bubbly.
"Uh…it's, well." Vanilla put on a pondering expression. "It's actually kind of familiar to me. I knew someone that went to Blair High School. I think that's why the name sounds familiar to me. Um…yeah."
That was it.
Then, Amy wanted to do some more filming, like giving an introduction to her little project. Sonic and Shadow were against it, but Amy, again, did not listen to a word they said. She had Sonic film her while she stood next to the beach on Station Square, next to Twinkle Park.
"This is Station Square," Amy said in a serious voice, staring at the camera with a solemn expression decorating her face. "It's a big city, much like any other city out there."
After that, they went to a graveyard that had mysteriously appeared somewhere not too long ago. Amy forced Sonic to film for her again and she took her position in front of the gravestones, gesturing towards them and still wearing that serious look. "Mysteriously and unfortunately, a lot of infants were put to rest here. No one in the city seems to recall anything unusual about this."
"Oh boy…" muttered Sonic, rolling his green eyes as he continued to film the pink hedgehog.
"Yet, legend tells us otherwise!" Amy held up a finger.
Sonic kept on filming the pink hedgehog until she said it was time to cut it off. Sighing heavily, the blue hedgehog closed up the camera and put it up, storing it in Amy's camera bag. Through with that, Sonic stretched out his arms above his head and glanced at Shadow, who was standing back, arms folded over his chest and staring at nothing.
"Are we going to the woods yet?" Sonic demanded to know, becoming bored.
Amy bounced over to him and snatched the camera bag away from her hero. "Yes!" she blubbered, way too cheery. "Let's get into Shadow's car and let's skedaddle!"
Without a word, Sonic zoomed over to Shadow's black Lexus with his supersonic speed and hurriedly got into the vehicle, getting in the backseat again. Shadow was already over there, starting the car and waiting for Amy to get inside. Once the pink hedgehog was safely in the car and with her seatbelt on, she put on a huge smile and clapped her hands, throwing a fist into the air afterwards.
"Let's GO!" Amy cheered jubilantly.
Shadow sighed, but pressed down on the gas pedal with his foot, making the car surge forward. Nope. They weren't taking the train to the Mystic Ruins. They were taking his car. Anyway, they drove for a few hours and eventually they reached the Mystic Ruins, driving to the deep part of it. Soon, they were on a deserted street, lush greenness on either side of them. Amy, getting excited that they were almost there, whipped out her camera once more and popped it on, filming the road ahead since she was sitting in the front seat. "Okay!" she chirped, joyous. "The path should be around here somewhere, Shadow. You can't miss it!"
"Remind me again why we have to take this specific path, Rose…" Shadow growled out, shaking his head. "We're already in the Mystic Ruins. Why can't we just stop and get out and do what we have to do? This is a complete waste of time. Why did I even agree to this?"
Amy put the camera on his face, filming him. "Because you have such a kind heart, Shadow!"
Sonic guffawed in the back seat at this.
Shadow gave the pink hedgehog a dark look.
Suddenly, Amy released a gasp and pointed ahead, screaming, "SHADOW, STOP THE CAR!"
Alarmed, the black hedgehog slammed his foot down on the brakes and the black Lexus came to a loud, screeching halt. Sonic, who was still in the back, was clutching at his seat for dear life, green eyes wide with bafflement and fright. Shadow was peering around with his red eyes, surveying the area around them, thinking that Amy saw something horrifying. The witch, maybe? Nah, impossible! Well, that was what Shadow thought anyway.
"Amy! Why'd you tell him to stop the car? Did you see the path or…or did you see…the witch?" Sonic questioned his pink companion, frantically scanning the outside of the car, calming down a little bit and letting go of his seat. Nope. He still didn't believe in no witch. Well, it wasn't impossible, but he didn't fear it. Sonic the Hedgehog feared nothing, especially not some fabled Blair Witch.
Amy scrambled out of the vehicle and trekked off of the street with her camera, heading over to a small creek where Big was standing at, doing some fishing. Oddly enough, Tails was there with the purple cat. The pink hedgehog skipped over to them and filmed them with the camera. There was a large grin plastered upon the female's face as she squeaked, "HI!"
"Uh…hi, Amy…" said Tails, staring at her. "What are you doing here?"
"Here doing my project with Sonic and Shadow!" blubbered the rose hedgehog.
"Amy!" Sonic exclaimed, dashing over to her from the car. When he saw Tails, his eyes lit up with elation. "Tails, buddy! What're you doing here?"
Tails folded his arms. "I was about to ask you the same question. Amy tells me that you and Shadow are doing a project with her or something? I know she asked me, but I declined. I had better things to be doing."
"Like fishing with Big?" retorted Amy, narrowing her eyes.
Tails shrugged and pointed at the cat. "He asked me before you even asked me to do that silly Blair Witch project with you. Sorry, Amy."
Amy huffed, but kept the camera trained on the fox. "Ahem! Anyway, Tails, what do you know about the Blair Witch here in the Mystic Ruins?"
"I know that it's a myth…" muttered Tails, shrugging. "That's all I know about that."
Amy focused the camera on Big now. "Big! What do you know about the Blair Witch? You practically live here in the Mystic Ruins!"
"He doesn't live too far in there, Amy…" piped up Sonic.
"Can it, Sonic!"
"Sorry Charlie!"
Glaring at her blue hero, the pink hedgehog removed her attention from Sonic and put it on Big once more. "Big, I'd really appreciate it if you answered the question yourself! Tails! Sonic! Don't butt in this time!"
"Well," Big drawled, turning his big body around to face Amy. "I think, uh…back in the 1800s some guy wandered off into the deep Mystic Ruins and he was never to be seen again. I think…uh…uh…the Blair Witch got him. I don't know." Then Big gave her a blank stare, as if he had started to daydream.
Amy squealed with delight and jumped up and down. "Oh! Oh! That's good! That's really good! I got some good footage!" The pink hedgehog hurried over to Sonic, who looked absolutely disinterested. "Look, Sonic! Big gave me some really good info on the Blair Witch!"
"Uh…yeah," mumbled the blue speedster. "Can we continue now? I think Shadow's becoming a sourpuss in the car. Plus, he's impatient and very upset that you had him slam on the brakes like that…"
Rose waved a hand at him, rolling her eyes and shutting off her camera. "Oh! He'll deal with it!" Amy grabbed Sonic's hand and started dragging him along. "Come on, Sonic! The deep Mystic Ruins awaits!"
"Yay…fun…" Sonic feebly shook a fist in the air as he was dragged away. After that, he waved at Tails and Big sadly, looking incredibly unhappy.
So, well, anyway, the three hedgehogs set off again and continued down the road, going deeper and deeper into the Mystic Ruins. As they went along, the woods became thicker and thicker and it seemed as though they were driving for hours. Amy didn't even say anything or gave any indication that they were almost there or not. Currently, she was viewing the map on her lap and munching on a cold marshmallow. Sonic was in the back seat, itching for a run and Shadow was just driving with a stoic look on his face. After a while, Amy put the map away and retrieved her camera once more, filming the road.
"We're getting pretty deep into these woods, Rose…are we almost there yet?" Shadow spoke after an hour of not talking at all. "We've been going on for miles."
"We should be!" Amy replied, still very cheerful about all of this. She moved her camera to her window and started filming outside, watching as an abandoned cabin went on by. Everything around them seemed to be gloomy and thick. Were they the only ones out there? The pink hedgehog wasn't sure and she really didn't care all that much. She was just happy to have Sonic and Shadow with her.
Eventually, they reached their destination.
Amy was the first one to hobble out of the car and slam the door shut behind her, still filming. Sonic got out of the car and then Shadow was last. Shadow zipped over to the trunk and opened it, gathering his things and putting on his black backpack. Sonic did the same, putting on a blue one. "Here, Sonic. Hold this for a minute!" Amy ordered, walking over and shoving her camera into the blue hedgehog's hands.
"Fine…" Sonic sighed and grabbed it, filming the pink hedgehog.
Amy frolicked over to the trunk and got her pink backpack full of things. She struggled to put the big thing on, creating grunting sounds as she did so. Sonic just watched her and Shadow was making sure his car would be safe all alone.
"I would help ya out and all, Ames, but…I'm perfectly fine standing over here, so yeah…" Sonic drawled, shrugging his shoulders as he watched her struggle.
Amy gave him a sarcastic smile before successfully getting her backpack on. Once she was done, Shadow made sure his car was secure and Amy started leading the way while Sonic still filmed her. "Gosh!" she complained. "This bag is so heavy!"
"Get used to it!" Shadow barked, irritated.
Sonic chuckled.
So, the three hedgehogs continued into the deep Mystic Ruins, leaving the vehicle behind.
