Hey guys! I'm back! Here's chapter flippin 4! I've already got people guess the characters and they're gonna get the chance to be in it. But please understand that you might not be able to be paired with some of the popular characters... DON'T HATE ME! I don't want this story too fan based. I need to keep the story line and the chapters that are ahead the same way. But if you want to be paired with certain characters like Espio or someone from the STH comics, I can arrange something. But, no editing out things. Sorry guys.
SSG: Do you want me to grab a baseball bat? *evil grin*
Chihiro: *freaked out* Um... no need for that, SSG.
SSG: Aw...
Chihiro: Anyway, this next chapter, you get to see a certain someone who will ruin everyone's lives. Mephiles, do the disclaimer, you good for nothing piece of-
Mephiles: I GET IT! YOU DON'T LIKE ME! Disclaimer: NightshadeRoses13 DOES NOT own Sonic the Hedgehog or its franchise. Any unfamiliar characters that have nothing to do with the franchise is either belonged to NightshadeRoses13 or other creators that have entered their character in any sort of contest.
Chihiro: On with the story!
"Where is she?!" a voice asked.
"I'm afraid she was kidnapped, sire," a 2nd voice replied. The person sounded very nervous.
"KIDNAPPED?! What do you mean kidnapped?!" the man yelled.
"Mephiles. You don't need to yell," a 3rd voice mumbled.
"Shadow… don't tell me what to do," Mephiles growled.
"I'm just as worried as you are. She may be your fiancé, but she's my little sister. I want to find her as much as you do," Shadow replied.
"We need to find witnesses; anybody who saw anything. Did your servants see anything?" the blue streaked hedgehog asked.
"No. None of them," Shadow answered.
"Damn…we need to ask everyone in the village. We will find her. She's probably tied up at this very moment," Mephiles said.
"Don't be so sure. She's a smart girl. She can escape."
"I don't really think that would happen. She's a girl. Amy doesn't need to do things like that," Mephiles said.
Shadow growled silently. He couldn't see how Amy and Mephiles would go together. They were so different. Amy would even tell him how Mephiles would 'harass' her and be a complete idiot. He knew well that Amy would have a miserable life with him.
Meanwhile, Sonic and Annabelle were discussing something. Amy watched as the two talked.
'Probably arguing about something,' Amy thought. But she soon doubted it because Annabelle jumped for joy.
"Really?! Can we go now?! Please?!" she asked excitingly.
"Ok! We'll go," he chuckled.
"Yay!" She yelled and ran out of the kitchen to her bedroom. Amy peeked in and asked where they were going.
"We're going to the waterfall," Sonic said.
"Now?! But-!"
"Relax. Annabelle has an extra swim suit," he replied.
Amy felt queasy. "Great…"
At the waterfall, Annabelle, Tails, Silver, Knuckles ran to the top of it and jumped into the water. Amy flinched. "Won't the fall alone kill you on impact?" she asked.
"It's not that high, so...nope," Sonic answered.
"…You don't have a bathing suit?" she asked.
"Heck no! We go in our pants," he said.
"But won't the weight pull you down?"
"First off, no, and second, you ask too many questions. Just jump in," he replied.
Amy looked at the top of the waterfall. "From there?" she asked, pointing to the moving water.
"Ya! Why? Are you scared?" he asked. She wasn't afraid to say yes.
He chuckled and said, "Look, if you're afraid to go to the top, I'll go with you." He took her hand.
"Maybe later. I wanna start low for now," she said.
"That's okay," the blue boy replied.
They went over to the water and Sonic jumped from a rock. Amy stood there and trembled.
"Why aren't you jumping in?" Silver asked.
"That's none of your business," Amy said.
"Just tell us," Knuckles said. "We won't laugh."
Amy inhaled and exhaled. "I…I can't swim," she confessed.
Sonic looked at her in shock. "You can't swim?" he asked.
"Yeah..."
"I can teach you! Jump in and I'll catch you. How's that sound?" he said.
"Well...I guess…" Amy replied.
"Great! Whenever you're ready," Sonic said, "I'll catch you."
Amy looked at the water and a shiver went down her spine. Even though she was afraid, she wanted to learn. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and jumped. The water splashed and she went underwater for a few seconds until a pair of hands caught her and rose her up from the water.
"Oh my gosh!" she repeated, freaking out about the water.
"It's okay! It's okay! Look," Sonic said softly, "You're fine."
Amy opened her eyes. He was holding her, like he promised. And it didn't seem so bad. She was feeling okay with the fact that he was helping her.
"Now, I'm going to help you try to float on your back. I need you to trust me, okay?" he said.
"What?! But I-?!"
"Trust me," he said, slowly.
She nodded and inhaled. She exhaled and closed her eyes. He put his hands under her back and held her up. When she seemed calm enough, he let her go.
"See? You're floating by yourself. Don't freak out!" he said.
Amy looked up and smiled. She couldn't believe her eyes. She was floating. "Great! Now can you teach me how to swim?" she asked.
"You need to learn to float before you can swim, Amy," he said.
She smiled a little more and giggled. She stood up and splashed water in his face. "Hey! What the-? Oh, so that's how you wanna play, eh? Alright, I can agree to that," he replied, smirking.
Sonic then, got up, picked Amy up, and got out of the water. He climbed all the way to the waterfall.
"Sonic, wha-what are you doing?" she asked, nervously.
"We are going to jump," he said.
"What?!"
"Like I said, I'll go with you," Sonic reassured.
"Are you sure about this?" Amy asked.
"I'm sure enough," he replied.
Amy tightened the grip around his hand, but not enough to crush his hand. "Ready?" Sonic asked. Amy nodded her head in response. Both jumped and hit the water. Sonic rose from the water and rubbed his eyes, getting the water out of his eyes.
"That was fun, wasn't it, Amy?" Sonic said. No reply. He opened up his eyes and found she wasn't there.
"Amy?"
It occurred to him to look underwater. He saw Amy at the bottom of the lake/waterfall. Sonic swam down and dragged her up to the surface. His siblings gathered around him as Sonic lay Amy down on the ground. "What happened?" Knuckles asked.
"I don't know!" Sonic replied. He put his hand above her mouth. "I don't think she's breathing," he said.
Chihiro: Uh-oh! What's gonna happen to Amy-chan?! Well, you'll have to wait and see. Because it's gonna get good.
Amy: I can't believe you drowned me in this chapter! Why would you do that?
Chihiro: Don't blame me. Shiz happens. Besides, it was SSG's idea.
SSG: WHAT?! How dare you blame me for something like that?
Amy: ...
SSG: Okay, it was me. Happy?! Anyway, hope you liked this chapter.
Chihiro: Please review and hope to see ya next chapter! :D
