Chapter Three
Now my heart was racing, how could he be getting married! Why would he get married! He's not even a person who would slow down for a relationship. Inside, I was now shouting at myself, anger boiling through my veins, but being in front of the two people he would be close to, I was able to make it seem it didn't bother me.
"Oh, Sonic…ha…well that's a surprise" I said nervously. " I'm rather surprised he wants to slow down for a girl"
"That's what I said, my bet was if it was any girl, it would be you" Sonia admitted, shrugging her shoulders at me. This made me low my head in shame.
"I see…well…obviously not" I could tell now my nerves were catching up on me as I frantically began to rub my feet on the stone floor.
"To be honest, she isn't very nice. She called me fag face once" Tails said with his head low. I could tell he was rather upset about that, but if it's Sonic's choice, then there's nothing he could do about it.
"And she pushed Maisy in the lake because she was holding Sonic's hand" Sonia snarled. This made me shake my head. That is nasty. "And my poor baby couldn't swim" Woah! That's even worse…
"Sounds nice…" I said sarcastically. The two nodded at me, and then everything became silent. I didn't know what was worse, the fight with Sonia or Sonic's evil girlfriend.
There was no way I could ask for what I wanted now…especially if he's betrothed to some nasty troll.
As thoughts collided in my head, a sudden shout was heard from upstairs. This sounded like one of the children cheering, and then suddenly after they both came charging down the stairs with arms open.
"Uncle Sonic! Uncle Sonic!" they shouted. My heart stopped, my body froze. This was it. 5 years and its all come down to this…
I waited as Sonia stood up to collect her children from the door, leaving me and Tails in silence. I then heard whispering from the front door, making it obvious that now he knew I was here.
Within seconds, I had my head down to contain my bright wide smile that was creeping out. I couldn't wait to see him, but another part of me wanted to scream and leg it. But then it happened.
"Wow…" I heard his deepen voice, still calm and soft. Yet so alluring. "Wasn't expecting you to be here" he was looking at me, I could feel his green emerald eyes shining on me, making me lift my head slightly up to see him.
Still as charming and good looking as ever, with his red, white and yellow trainers and his tanned arms and torso. His quills were sharp and pointed back, just how I remembered them, with his long fare-haired ears. I smiled weary, and he glared back, rubbing his long black nose before walking over to the kettle, to switch it on.
He didn't look happy to see me, and I could tell from his demanding eyes that were constantly on guard. His crossed his arms, and looked back at Tails, who was pressured to leave the room.
The tension in the room doubled after he left, and Sonic only turned his back to me to prepare his tea. Not even bothering to ask if I would like one as well…humph! Rude.
As soon as he made his tea, he pulled a chair in front of me, and sat in it, holding his tea with his gloved hands.
"Why have you come back?" he questioned. His voice was harsh, and his fingers tapped against the cup making me feel slightly awkward. I didn't want to answer him; he looked so forceful and confident that he was owed an answer. "Well?" he pushed me to speak, making me drop my mouth to speak, but he stopped me. "You have come here to ruin everything haven't you?" he was sharp, as if he knew what I wanted to do, but he was wrong.
"No…I just came here-"
"Don't give me excuses. You found out and now you're here to wreck everything" now I had realised what he thinking, he was angry, thinking that I knew about the wedding and wanted to come back and confess my love to him…ha!
"You're so wrong Sonic" I said this slowly, not wanting to hit a nerve that was bubbling inside of him.
"What!" he stood up high and quick, slamming his hands to the table in front of me, and glaring into my eyes. This was beginning to scare me, and all I could do was move my chair back a little to prevent him from reaching out and slapping me. "What is it then Amy! You come here and expect me to love you all over again!" he was coming closer, and now I was frightened, feeling the times of when my ex-boyfriend had threatened me right before he started to attacked me. But then my heart pumped. He said love you…again! In the same sentence.
"You what?" I whispered, staring into his watery eyes.
"You heard me!" he snapped, now he was trying to hide the fact that he was almost in tears. I could tell by the blood shots and the glassy eyes.
"You loved me?" there was a moments silence as he sat back in his seat and stared down in cup.
"I guess I never realised what I had, until it was gone" he looked back at me and tears began to pour from his eyes. He couldn't fight them off, and before I knew it, I was hugging him. My arms tightly around his neck, burying my face into him.
"I'm sorry…I really am. But I've made something of myself" he looked up at me, to see my improvement, and his frown wobbled, before turning into a slight smile.
"Was that what you wanted? Me to confess it to you…" he looked weak, and helpless, staring at me with hope. But I shook my head.
"I know what it's like to love someone and then be part from them but trust me, it was for the best" I pulled a weak smile, and I could tell he faked one back. "I'm not here to ruin your wedding or relationship, I'm actually here to ask for a favour, as a friend" this was going to be hard to ask, but he looked so engaged and ready.
"Anything Amy…you just name it" I took a deep breath. And looked down as he pulled my hands into his. "Anything" he repeated. Go on Amy! Say it!
He looked into my eyes, desperate to help me. So I closed my eyes and waited…till…
"Sonic, Can I have your sperm!" I blurted it out so suddenly, that when I opened my eyes a strange looking blue hedgehog was stood behind him, staring directly at me with flames in her dark blue eyes.
"YOU WHAT!" she shouted. Immediately, Sonic pounced out from my grip and leaned back in his chair, before turning round to greet her.
"Nina! You're back…"he sounded hasty, but with her nasty looks towards me, I could see why.
"Who is she?" She pointed her finger at me, and glared back at Sonic, who was nervous.
"This is my old friend… Amy" he coughed my name out at the end, making her ears perk up. Her lips curled, and her tail swished to the side, before she attempted to walk and sit between us, with her long black high heels.
"Old friend…Amy…" she spat my name, wiping her lipstick using her arm and staring at me, with thick black pupils. It looked as if she had smoked something really bad. "Amy…Amy…Amy…hmm" she began to speak my name out in different ways, all of them sounding as if I was venom. "If I didn't know any better, it looks to me as if your trying to steal my Sonikku" she glared at me, and I growled. Sonikku was my word!
"Nina, just leave it" Sonic said, pulling her away from me.
"No! I don't care who she is, just get her out of my house" she stood up from the table and struggled back to the counter, but this made me angry.
"How dare you say it's your house! This belongs to Tails!" I stood up from my chair, and now I could see Sonic was fearing for my life, as he began to pull me back down.
"Amy, don't. It's really not worth it" but as I looked up and down, I realised that this really wasn't worth it. Besides I'm a lover, not a fighter. So I swiftly moved away and back into the garage workshop, where I was greeted once again by the two twins who were frightened to even go into the kitchen with Nina in there.
"Hello…" I said softly, moving down to their eye level. Maisy gripped her teddy, and peeked round the doorway, before looking back at me with worry.
"Auntie Amy, we're hungry…" Duncan said sweetly, as he held his sister's hand. "But we don't go to kitchen with Uncle Sonic's lady friend" I saw Maisy squeeze her brother's hand tighter, almost scared of the evil witch in the room next door. I'm not surprised!
"Hmm…how about, I come in with you both. I won't let her hurt you" I looked across at Maisy, whose eyes lit up brightly. She instantly took my hand and smiled at me before showing her teddy bear.
"Pinkie promise" the little boy said as he held out his pinkie. I smiled and tied mine round his, before leading them back into the kitchen. At first I felt Maisy's hand grip tighter as she made eye contact with Nina, but I quickly picked her up and sat her on the counter before pointing to cupboards, completely blanking Nina and Sonic who were obviously watching us.
"This one?" I pointed to the cabinet nearest the fridge and Duncan nodded, opening his hands out. I opened it, and looked inside, catching my eye on boxes of dried out cookies. Hmm…they didn't look appealing, or tasty. But as I pulled them out, they seemed to want them. I pulled the box out and handed them to Duncan, before lifting Maisy back down to the floor.
"Thank you Auntie Amy" Duncan said happily, as he took his sister's hand. Maisy followed him, before waving to me goodbye. And I couldn't help but smile of the cuteness and innocence they had.
"Thank you Auntie Amy…don't make me laugh. You're not even their auntie" I ignored Nina's sly comment, and left the room before being greeted by a massive hug and a loud shout out.
Before I knew it, I was lifted into someone's arms and twirled around.
"I knew I could smell your scent around here" I looked up at the smile which only happened to be…Shadows?
"Shadow?" He winked at me, the most happiness's I have ever seen him. Yet he looked much calmer, relaxed. Maybe having a family gave him that effect, but I loved it.
"Of course" he let me go and made his way through the kitchen with me, which made Nina go into quiet mode. She obviously didn't like Shadow, or he's put her in her place already. "Why you come back?" he asked me casually as he opened the fridge to collect a can of coke.
"Um…it's a long personal story, but wow you've changed!" I changed the subject quickly, not wanting to mention anything in front of the 'happy' couple who were both sat in silence. I looked in the corner of my eye, of Sonic sat with his arms folded across his chest, annoyed with Nina, but she was more focused on me, possibly jealous!
"Yeah, I have. But I can still be a miserable b**tard if I wanna be" he laughed deeply at his own joke, and I let out a slight giggle, only to annoy the scruffy hedgehog. "But having a family…it changes you. I'm focused now on my kids, it's what Maria and you would have wanted" he pulled a slight frown, but I made him smile by placing my hand on his.
"I'm glad you think that way Shadow. I really do" it was weird. It was like Nina and Sonic weren't even in the room, Shadow was casually speaking to be, and blanking them as if they didn't even exist. And I loved every minute of it.
"So…you seem sophisticated, what happened?" he looked at me up and down and raised an eyebrow.
"Well…people change. I'm now a hotel manager of the Halo" I stopped as Nina piped up.
"You are not, you are such a liar" what made me laugh was she thought I was lying. But she suddenly went quiet as Shadow shot a nasty glare.
"How dare you interrupt a conversation, and even eavesdrop in the first place!" he snapped at her. "Women like you need to know their place" he gritted his teeth and turned back to me with a smile on his face. "I'm so sorry Amy, I do apologise for the rudeness of Sonic's girlfriend, I'm afraid to say that she has quite a finger wrapped around him…" he looked over at Sonic who stormed off out of the room, leaving the house with a slam of the door.
"No…it's…um…fine"
I could feel his look turn, as he watched Nina get up from the table and leave the room in silence. I felt so uncomfortable with her around, and I only met her about five minutes ago.
"I dislike her…" I heard Shadow mumble quietly. As I looked at him, he pulled a miserable grin, and stared down at his hands. "Do you still like him?" he asks me. This made me shake my head violently.
"No! I'm off men for life" I said proudly. He gives me a look to say 'why?' and I continued. "I had a very bad relationship…" I started. He lifts his eyebrow up, wanting to know more. And with this, I pulled my arm sleeve up that disguised my bruise. I was frightened to show him this, but Shadow was a close friend, and I knew he would always keep things to himself, so I felt like I could trust him.
As I lifted it up, I felt a sharp pain of me touching around it, a pain that felt like I had damaged a bone around it. It was black, with a yellow outline, which made Shadow's hand clench.
"Who did that?" he asked, demanding an answer. But I shook my head, refusing to speak out. "Amy…that is bad" he held my arm up, to get a better look at the nasty work that was on my arm. He was quiet, and all I could hear now was the grinding of his sharp white teeth. "You need to tell me his name…" he said, his anger was building up. The thought of someone hurting me made him angry, and he always treated me like a young sister of his, part of his family. So I could tell, he was going to get the name sooner or later. "Amy!" he raised his voice, looking into my eyes. I saw despair and worry in his thick red eyes, something that made me want to keep it quiet for a little longer. "He can't get away with this" he said softly. I could tell that this was making him angry, so I pulled my sleeve back down, and smiled sweetly.
"Shadow, I'm fine honest" I lied.
"Obviously not. That looks fresh…he's punched you recently" I sighed at this. Trust Shadow to know about wounds and bruises, like some kind of gothic doctor. But there was no fighting it, so I nodded. "I think you should stay here for a bit longer" he looked across at the doorway, catching our attention. Sonia was stood there, smiling weakly.
"Sonic's just gone for a run; he wants to know if you can join him? He said to finish off a conversation you had or something"
I nodded, looking at Shadow to be excused. And with a slight nod, I left the room, grabbing the door handle to the front door, and running off down the path.
