Without Words

Chapter 3.

"Welcome to Meryl's can I take your order?" A muffled voice said from the small box on the side of the restaurant to a red car. "Yeah I'll have a- *WHOSSSHOOOM*

"Sorry sir, could you repeat that? I couldn't hear you over the sonic boom…"

Sonic smirked at himself as he sped past the many buildings in the town. He may have lost his voice, but he was thankful he did not lose his speed too, now more than ever he understood the saying "Actions speak louder than words."

He stopped at a nearby park to get a better look at some things; he already made his way around the outer limits of the town and was now in the center of downtown. He noticed a fountain in the center and what appeared to be a courthouse. "Hmm." He thought, "Maybe I should try there, there is bound to be someone in there that knows where there's a library."

As he made his way up the stone steps, an all too familiar, squealing voice called his name from behind him.

"Sonic!!"

"Oh no." Was his only thought as he turned around and felt his eyes widen as they saw what confirmed the voice.

It was Amy, she was running as fast as she could towards Sonic and was already pretty close to giving him her customary tackle to the ground.

Reacting fast, He jumped up right as Amy leaped forward, leaving her hugging the air and tripping to the ground. He landed on an unreachable ledge of the courthouse near the columns.

Amy was quick to react and show her surprise.

"Hey!" She shouted up at Sonic while she got herself up.

"Get down from there, Sonic!"

Sonic hesitantly smiled back and shook his head no.

"Sonic! You better come down here! How dare you jump away when I was only happy to see you!" Amy shouted with a little hint of anger in her voice.

Sonic, still not answering, gently shook his head no again.

"Fine!" Amy shouted, now angry. "If you won't come down, I'll make you come down!"

She got out her famous hammer and started hammering the stone column Sonic was perched on. The columns at first vibrated, then shook, and finally cracked.

"Amy!" Sonic tried to shout warning her of the danger. But it was once again no use, Sonic only shouted a piece of silence.

The stone column he was on cracked again, If Amy kept this up, the building would collapse.

Not wanting to endanger the people that were inside, nor get Amy in some huge trouble, He gave in to his will and hopped off the Column next to Amy.

When Amy saw this, she was quite pleased that she actually got him to come down, despite his stubbornness. She stopped her ruthless hammering and gave Sonic a big hug.

"Oh Sonic! I knew you'd come down!" She said nuzzling into his shoulder.

"Hey! What's going on here! What's with the hammering on city property?" A deep voice said from behind them.

They looked up to see a police officer running towards them. Amy gasped as she realized that she just committed a crime. She looked up at Sonic, expecting him to cover for her and say something, but instead he looked troubled.

"Sonic, say something for me, you know I didn't mean to." She whispered, hoping his reputation of saving the world multiple times would get her off the hook,

Sonic looked at her briefly before looking back at the charging officer, and lowered his head.

He suddenly picked up Amy bridal style, and jumped out of the way of the officer, just before he could catch them.

He then picked up speed and dashed his way out with Amy, not stopping, not looking back, and knowing the officer must've called the reinforcements by now. He made his way towards the highway, leading out of the town.

After a few minutes of running out of the town on the highway, he then turned into a corn field and stopped near the scarecrow so he would not get lost in that maze.

He put Amy down and braced himself to hear her yelling at him for what he just did.

And that is exactly what she did:

"Sonic! Are you crazy! You just got us into some big trouble!"

"I'm not the one who was hammering a federal building" He thought crossing his arms and turning his back to her stubbornly.

Amy stomped her way in front of him to make sure he could see her face.

"Sonic! All you had to do was say who you were and I probably would have not gotten into as much trouble as we are in now!" She huffed before continuing "Why didn't you say something!?" She demanded of him.

Sonic looked away. He deeply wished he could've said something. But now he's faced with a bigger dilemma than just looking for the library. "Why, of all times, did this have to happen now?" He thought with dread.

"Sonic! Answer me!" Amy demanded once more, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Amy…." He subconsciously opened his mouth tying to speak but stopped when he realized once again he couldn't.

He looked away again, hoping Amy didn't see that.

But Amy did see him open and move his mouth to her name, but she could not hear her name being said from him. She blinked and rubbed a finger in her ears thinking she couldn't hear him or something.

When Sonic met her eyes again to see her confused look, he frowned and hesitantly patted a hand to his throat.

Amy did not understand the gesture at first, but it soon clicked.

"No, it couldn't be…Did he lose his voice completely?" She thought. She wasn't entirely sure, but she wanted to test her theory.

"Sonic?" She asked fearfully. "Sonic, can you talk at all?"

Sonic sadly looked to the ground, feeling his throat, knowing something he needed was missing from it; He finally looked up at her, and shook his head no.
