Darkness Within

Chapter Two

Amy's POV

My eyes snapped open and I lay flat on the ground, everything was still black around me. I sat myself up using my hands and I gazed all around the darkness. Standing up I decided to walk around while keeping an eye out for that shadow thing whatever that was I don't know. I walked the endless void of darkness for what seemed like forever.

"It just feels like I'm walking in circles!" I concluded with a huff, while I stopped walking. My feet were starting to hurt. I looked ahead of myself and in front of me was...Me? What the?

I see no mirror so how could there be another me?

I walked so far to where I was right in front of the other me. She looked exactly like me, except she was a light black colour, her dress was longer than mine and coloured in a darker black than her body. She mirrored the same actions as me, after a few seconds of doing this she just grinned at me.

"Hello Amy!" Her voice was totally not my voice.

It was a deep and very evil sounding voice, I stumbled back a little when she began to talk. "Who are you?" I questioned.

"I'm you!"

"No you're not, you may look like me but you definitely don't sound like me!"

The other me laughed and clapped her hands together, "well observed!"

"So are you gonna tell me who you are?!" I frowned, I really wanted to get outta here this place gave me the creeps.

"Already did, I also know everything about you."

My eyes went wide but then I frowned "oh yeah prove it!"

She chuckled evilly and with her eyes closed she opened her mouth "I know that you're in love with a certain blue hedgehog named Sonic, but he doesn't love you back...hmm I don't blame him. Your pathetic the way you chase him around and constantly asking him out on dates. I bet he thinks that you're a freak the way you swing that hammer of yours and that's why he runs from you!"

My fist clenched with every word that came outta her mouth that's just not true, sure he runs but he's just nervous that's just what I've always thought. "That's not true!" I growled.

She was still laughing, "oh but it is, your also weak he must get tired of saving you, I don't know why he doesn't just leave you behind with whoever has captured you at the time? I know I would."

I shut my eyes tight, what she's saying is just not true, "your wrong Sonic would never do that!" I yelled as my eyes snapped open, I blinked a few times she wasn't there and the darkness was now a bright white light, "huh what happened?" I questioned but then the light took over me and I could myself waking up...So this was just a dream?

I woke up in one of Cream's bedrooms, Cream sat next to me with a glass of water in her hand. She looked pretty worried about me. "Oh Amy thank goodness your awake me and Cheese were really worried about you," she handed me the glass and I took a big gulp of water and I felt slightly better.

"Thanks, Cream and you to Cheese." We both laughed as Cheese flew around us.

I turned to Cream, "what happened Cream?" I asked.

"Well we were having a pick nick, but something strange happened, the sky had suddenly turned black and that's when you passed out and after you were out the sky went back to normal. Knuckles thinks it's got something to do with the master emerald." Cream explained.

I stared back at my glass and took another drink, once I finished I got out of bed I couldn't stay in it any longer. "Amy I don't think your ready to get up yet," Cream said as I wobbled about.

"I'm fine Cream really, I think it's just because I've laid down for so long."

We went down stairs and into Cream's living room and I was surprised to see everyone there including Sonic and Shadow. "Amy how are you feeling dear?" Asked Cream's mum.

I smiled at her "oh I'm feeling a lot better I just don't get how I passed out that's all."

Knuckles came forward and up to me, "Amy you have to be careful!"

I blinked in confusion "what? What are you talking about Knuckles?"

He folded his arms, "something has been released from the master emerald I don't know what it is but its seems attracted to you Amy."

My eyes went wide I wonder if it was that thing from my dream? I looked at Knuckles "don't you have any idea of what it is?"

Knuckles shook his head "I'm afraid not, but it's not anything good that much I do know."

Sonic came forward "whoa knucklehead how do ya know that this thing is attracted to Amy?"

Knuckles glared at Sonic when he called him knucklehead, "I've just got this really strong feeling that just draws me to Amy, watch over her Sonic. If this thing takes over Amy, we may never see the real Amy ever again!"

Now this shocked me and I watched as Knuckles made his way out of Cream's front "wait Knuckles where are you going?!" I called he stopped at the door.

"I have to go back to the master emerald to keep an eye on it." With that said he left.

Tails turned to Sonic "Sonic we better let Amy stay at the workshop."

I turned back round to them Sonic didn't seem to happy with that idea but nodded in agreement. "I can't stay at the workshop, what about my apartment?"

"I don't mind you staying at the workshop Amy, I do have a spare room and I'm pretty sure your apartment will be fine if you just check up on it now and then." Said Tails.

I sighed in defeat "alright, well I going to go get some of my stuff."

I was surprised to find myself in Sonic's arms "Sonic?"

"Don't worry Ames, I'll take you there and get you to the workshop," I blushed at the nickname, it was nice of him to do this, I nodded and he ran off towards Station Square.
