Fear and Freedom

-Robyn's POV-

Fear is gripping me to the bone. More lightning flashes across the sky outside, and my two older sisters jump. They've always been a little fidgety, especially Celine, but our current predicament makes it a lot worse.

"Robyn… any idea what we're gonna do when Aero comes back in?" Celine asks me.

I sigh. "For once… I don't know."

Alustriel tries to reach for her government-licensed laser gun. However, it's in her back pocket, so she can't reach it. Celine and I watch her for half a moment before she gives up- again.

"Grr! I'm one of the top ninja spies in the country, yet I can't break free!" she growls.

"You know Aero. He always has a trick up his sleeve," I say grimly.

"That I do," a deep voice says from the doorway.

We turn our heads to see Aero smirking at us. "Aero!"

"Enjoying your stay?" he asks slyly.

I growl something incoherent under my breath. Celine and Alussie glare poison darts at him.

"I'll take that as a yes," Aero chuckles, thinking this as a joke.

"When can we leave?" Alussie asks icily.

Aero steps closer. "As soon as Robyn gives me what I want."

I blink. "What do you want from me?"

He kneels down and props my chin up with his index finger. "The same thing that I have desired since day one... for you to be mine."

Because my ankles and wrists are tied up, I can't cause him any pain. I grit my teeth and shoot daggers at him with my eyes. "I'd rather die than be with you."

A wicked smile pulls at the corners of his lips. "Oh, really?"

The daggers turn to swords. I growl at him, signifying my words. He grins and starts pulling me closer to him.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Celine and Alussie shout.

It's too late. Aero's lips have instantly glued themselves to my resisting ones. I try to pull away from him, but he places a hand on the back of my head, rendering me totally powerless. Then he moves his free hand down and begins to unbutton my blouse…

"Aero, get your hands OFF my sister, or there WILL be hell to pay!"

A new feminine voice rings out from above us. Aero pulls away from me in surprise. We all look up to see a slender red fox with raging blue eyes standing by a window on top of some boxes.

"ZOEY!" Celine, Alussie, and I cry.

"Zoey," Aero breathes.

Zoey jumps down from the window gracefully. She brushes a strand of hair from her eyes, puts her hands on her hips, and glares at Aero.

He is smirking again. "So nice of you to join us, Zoey."

"Let them go, Aero." There is no mistaking the fury in my sister's tone.

"I'll let them go when Robyn gives me what I want," he says.

That does it for Zoey. She lunges at Aero with a shriek. He looks surprised as she tackles him. The two begin rolling around on the tile floor, throwing blows at each other. I glance at Alussie and Celine and give them the "This is our chance" look. They nod in agreement. We begin flexing our hands and ankles, squirming as the ropes gradually begin to break. I'm free first, which gives me the chance to hop up and help my sisters.

Zoey backflips over to us as soon as I help Celine up. Her hair is hanging in front of her eyes, which are still raging with fury. Yikes. I don't think that I've ever since her this mad before.

Aero stands up. He winces as he grabs his arm. His left eye is a brilliant shade of purple, and his lower lip is bleeding. Sucker.

I turn to Zoey. "Nice job. Mind if we help?"

She grins. "Be my guests."

I frontflip over to him and punch him in the nose. Alussie whips her gun out and shoots his hand. Then Celine surprises him from behind while Zoey tackles him and pins him down.

I kneel down and catch his gaze. "Face it, Aero. With the four of us, you can't win."

He smirks. "That's what you think, my dear girl."

Suddenly, he kicks Zoey in the stomach and jumps up. My surprised sister is thankfully caught by Alussie. She helps Zoey keep her balance before growling at Aero, who has run over to the door.

He smirks again as he hits a red button. "You may have escaped, but I have the victory. There is no way that you can escape in the next fifteen seconds. Goodbye, ladies."

He holds up the red Chaos Emerald and vanishes. Then the building begins shaking. We can hear explosions coming from upstairs. The ceiling and walls begin crumbling around us.

"WHAT DO WE DO?" I scream.

"Now, guys!" Zoey barks into her communicator watch, undaunted by our current situation.

The far wall suddenly explodes as two spinning blurs break in. They stop in front of us to reveal an emerald-eyed cobalt hedgehog and a crimson-eyed ebony hedgehog.

"Shadow!" Celine exclaims.

"Sonic!" I cry.

Sonic grins at us. "Hey, ladies. Need a hand?"

"You bet!" we chorus.

Sonic nods. "Ready to go in three… two… one!"

We take off in bursts of speed. As soon as we are a few yards away, the warehouse blows up. We skid to a stop and turn around to watch it go up in flames. It crackles and falls apart.

Sonic grabs my hand. "You okay?"

I nod. "Zoey got there just in time."

Zoey grins before pointing to three motorcycles sitting at the edge of the road. "Let's head home, guys. I'm ready to party now."

Everyone laughs as they head for the motorcycles. Shadow gets on a black one and hands a helmet to Celine. She grins as she sits behind him and puts it on. Zoey gets on a fire-red one and motions to Alussie as she tosses the helmet. Alussie catches it flawlessly and sits behind Zoey.

That leaves me with Sonic.

He gets on a blue motorcycle and grins as he tosses me a helmet. I catch it and grin back at him. I put it on and sit behind him. He immediately turns around, takes my hands, and places them around him. I grin as one of my hands begin poking him in the stomach.

He emits a throaty growl. "You're getting it when we get back."

I chuckle. "Then hurry, Your Majesty. Zoey and Shadow are beating us."

He blinks as he realizes that Zoey and Shadow are already a mile down the road. Then he growls, puts his feet on the pedals, and starts the engine. We immediately take off. I grin as I cuddle closer to him. Ahh, sweet freedom.

THE END
