Chapter 1
Normal POV
A bright beam of moonlight sliced through the murky darkness, illuminating the brilliant pink of the young hedgehog's hair. Her hand, resting with fingers curled by her head, twitched slightly. She wrinkled her nose, shaking her head and mumbling something in her sleep.
Amy's heart pounded, and the only sound that she could hear was the roaring of blood in her ears. She forced her legs to propel her forward faster, panting as she hurtled across the open field littered with heather and gorse bushes. She knew that behind her lay the wasteland where it had all began. Her thoughts scrambled in her brain, and she didn't see the root until too late.
"Ahhh!" She shrieked as she tumbled down the gentle slope, fumbling for a hold on something. As she skidded, she felt her foot bump something and looked wildly around, seeing the rock just in time.
Amy thrust her feet out to the side, catching the rock with the tip of her toes. After a desperate heave, she righted herself and laid there, her breath scraping past her raw throat. She hardly dared to move, afraid that her ungraceful descent had warned one of the guard bots.
Sure enough, after what seemed like hours, a soft whirring noise began to drone out from above her. With a small whimper, Amy pressed herself against the hard-packed earth, praying it wouldn't see her. The buzzing grew louder, and, peeking through one barely open eye, Amy saw the robot hand of one of the huge drones.
Eyes shut tight, holding her breath, trembling on the verge of screaming with fright, Amy Rose slowly, slowly, lowered herself until she was couching on the rock, her hands against the hill the only thing keeping her from falling. The drone seemed to make a beeping noise, possibly alerting one of its fellow guards.
Taking a deep, slow breath, Amy pressed her hands harder on the turf, tensing her muscles and leaning back. With a mighty shove, she pushed off of the rock, leaping away from the robot.
Her breath coming in ragged gasps, Amy hared away from the danger, knowing that the robot would follow her. She knew she couldn't run for much longer.
Just when she was about to collapse on the hard earth, a flash of blue caught her eye, and the wind picked up, swirling around her. The streak of blue punched a hole through the robot, and it fell to the ground, buzzing.
Amy stared, breathless, as the blue streak took form. It was a blue hedgehog with gleaming emerald eyes, pointed ears and a smirk on his lips. He turned to her, his small smirk widening into a warm smile.
"Hey, Amy," he said, almost cheerfully.
"S-sonic," Amt stammered, her legs shaking from both the run and from the sight of him. As Sonic opened his mouth to say more, another, larger, more powerful robot crested the rise of the hill. Sonic stepped quickly in front of Amy, shielding her from the drone's view. He turned his head ever so slightly, grinning in a failed attempt to seem reassuring.
But in that one split second, the one moment his attention was drawn away from the drone, it fired. A loud, blaring shot rang out, ringing in Amy's ears.
"SONIC!"
Amy Rose woke up screaming.
