Chapter 2

Panic

SONIC'S POV

Sonic walked into the hospital room that Amy was in, to find both she and Cream were crying. Well... more accurately Amy was sobbing her eyes out, and Cream had silent tears sliding down her face. It was weird because only a day earlier Amy had been all smiles and herself.

"Amy? Are you okay? What happened?" Sonic asked as he stood by her.

Cream opened her mouth to answer, but Amy beat her to it... in a way.

"Cream, don't tell him. Sonic, don't tell anyone that you found me crying. Cream, same goes for you. As far as everyone knows, nothing is wrong with me" She hissed the last words.

"B-but Miss Amy... My eyes are red. How do I explain why I am crying?"

"Say you read a sad part in your book"

"Okay"

"What are you hiding, Amy?" Sonic asked her. He was slightly worried.

She glared up at him. If looks could kill, Sonic would be dying slowly and painfully. He winced under her icy stare.

"You ask me that again, and I will make sure that you don't leave the premises without me breaking every bone in your body first"

"I won't ask then..."

"Same thing goes for if I find out that you told someone that I was crying, and I will never speak to you again if you tell anyone what happened, Cream"

Cream looked like she was going to cry

"Yes, Miss Amy"

"Amy, don't be so tough on her"

Sonic watched as the anger inside Amy rose to a boil. He'd better get out of there fast before she strangled him.

"Can you two leave me alone, please? I need some sleep" she said in an apologetic tone. "But I'm serious. I will never forgive you two if you do what I told you not to"

Sonic gladly took the invitation to leave before his death sentence was announced.

I wonder what happened...

*next morning*

It was dark. There was nothing but black. Sonic looked down and saw his feet. They were on something solid. He tried to take a step forward and prevailed. His feet started to run.

After about five minutes, each step echoing, he put his arm out in front of him and it came in contact with a door. Sonic found a handle and pulled the door open. The room was white. It hurt his eyes. The ceilings were impossibly high.

In the center of the small circular room was a girl laying on the floor curled up on her side. She was wearing a long flowing white dress that was thrown in a sea of silken fabric.

There was silence.

Sonic walked over to the girl. There was something familiar about her. He effortlessly rolled her over so that she faced both him and the door.

It was Amy.

Her eyes slowly opened. They weren't the bright emerald color that he remembered. They were a pale greenish grey. Her fur was the same. Grey tinted with pink. Sonic took a few steps back.

What had happened to her? Amy looked up at him. She began to get up off of the cold marble floor and made her way towards him. With each step she winced. Sonic knew that something was wrong.

She lightly draped her arms around him and pulled Sonic into a gentle embrace. Sonic felt something warm and wet on his chest and shoulder. Amy took a step back and Sonic stared at her. She now had no color in her what so ever.

And that wasn't all.

Her entire front was covered in blood, starting at her chest where her heart was, and tears were flowing down her face. She smiled at him and said

"My heart had been ripped from my chest, Sonic. Both of my dreams have been taken from me"

Amy then walked passed him and through the door and into the darkness. He tried to turn and follow her but his body wasn't moving. The blackness beyond the door seeped into the light and began to consume it.

The black smoke was rolling towards him when suddenly-

Sonic's eyes snapped open. He rolled over in his bed and pulled a certain brown squirrel towards him.

"Good morning, sweet heart" Sally said innocently as she curled up against him.

"Good morning, Sal. How'd you sleep?"

"Wonderfully" she replied before kissing him. "You?" she then asked

"Pretty well, aside from the fact that I had a nightmare"

"Aw, you still get nightmares? Aren't you a big boy, Sonic?"

Sonic smiled "Yeah, I am. But even I get nightmares."

"Why don't you tell me about it?"

Sonic shook his head "All I remember is a girl in a white dress with blood dripping from a hole in her chest where her heart was, and her saying 'My heart has been ripped from my chest. Both of my dreams have been taken from me'" well it wasn't a complete lie. He remembered the girl being Amy, the fact that his name had been in that sentence, and the whiteness and darkness.

"That's horrible. Now what are we gonna do for breakfast?"

Sonic realized he was absentmindedly stroking the naked squirrel's side, but didn't stop.

"I have no idea" he said before kissing her.

AMY'S POV

Amy had been out of the hospital for about four months, and she was walking with a freaked out Sally and an excited Rouge. Sally had moved into Sonic's apartment, and she was showing symptoms of pregnancy, but wanted to be sure. So they were on their way to a drug store to pick up a pregnancy test.

Amy smiled. Sonic's gonna have a kid, that's wonderful! But I wonder what they'll do.. Sonic's only 16 and Sally's 18... they're a bit young to be having kids in my opinion... They'll be financially sunk! And it hurts deep down, but as long as Sonic is happy, I'm happy.

Her smile broke into a grin. Amy looked at Sally "You'll keep the baby, won't you?"

Sally looked at her with her eyes wide "I-I don't know"

Amy's smile fell. "You mean you're considering not keeping it?"

"Amy, I'm only eighteen! How am I going to take care of a baby? I would be ruined!"

"You would pull through, Sally. I know you would. You're one of the strongest people I know"

Amy was honest. She wanted the kid to grow up to be happy with a mother and father. Even if the first few years were rough, it would eventually turn out okay.

"I'm not so sure, Amy"

Amy turned away from the squirrel. "well.. let's go find out for sure if you have an angel inside of you, Sally"

Rouge was just skipping happily next to her two friends, not hearing a word that they said.

"Could you guys not tell anyone, please? Especially not Sonic. If I choose to keep the child, I want to be the one to tell him"

"Okay"

SONIC'S POV

Sonic, Tails, Cream, Rouge, and Knuckles stood in front of Amy's house. It was June 23rd. Her birthday. Cream bounded up onto her porch and rang the doorbell.

The door opened and a pink hedgehog invited them in.

The party lasted for about three hours. Just as everyone was getting ready to leave, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Amy said happily before skipping to the door and opening it. "What are you doing here? I already got the mail today..."

"Someone asked me to take this to your house as a late delivery. He said it had to get here today"

"Uh, thanks"

"You're welcome, Miss Rose"

Sonic heard a door close and footsteps before Amy appeared in the living room archway holding an envelope.

She slowly opened it and as she read her eyes widened, her expression one of fear and horror.

Amy whispered "He... he found me" and completely froze.

Amy dropped the letter as if she had been burned, and fled as if the writing would chase her and rip her to pieces.

Sonic walked over to the letter and picked it up

"Uh, Sonic? You sure you should read that...?"

Sonic ignored Tails and read aloud:

Dear My Angelic Amy,

You're mother is gone. I know because I just washed her blood off of my hands. Sorry about that, but when I came across her and asked where you lived, angel, she told me to leave you alone. I can't have that, can I? It's horrible, first I had to kill your father, now your mother. So very sorry, my love.

Happy birthday, Dearest.

We will soon be reunited, dearest. I hope you waited for me and are still unspoiled. Don't run, beautiful.

Love,

Your soul mate

Sonic wanted to puke. So someone sent Amy a letter to tell her that he loved her enough to kill her parents for rightfully keeping him away from her.

This was sickening.

"Sonic... what did you just read?"

Sonic looked up and saw everyone looking towards him in disgust.

"We have to find Amy"

Suddenly, thunder sounded.

"I-I'm not g-g-going out there!" Tails squeaked

"Tails, you at least have to get out of this house. That stalker is going to come here and most likely expect to find Amy waiting for him with a smile. And when he finds you here instead he'll kill you"

Tails looked frightened. Face his fears or die, those were his options. "I'll go home, Sonic you have the best chance of finding her"

"Yeah, I'll run through the city and see if I can find her"

And with that, Sonic raced out of Amy's house and into the pounding rain. He was so fast that the sheets of water stung his face, but he had to find Amy and make sure that she was okay.

HA HA HA! Bet you didn't see that coming, now did ya?

Yes. Amy has a stalker.

Does Sonic find her? Or does the stalker find her first?

Dare I say it...

Find out in the next Chapter!

That tasted foul. I hope that's the last time I have to say that xD
