Chapter Four: The Entrance

All four of them were walking inside the dark place searching for the house. Tails looked at the emeralds. They started shinning every time they were getting more inside. "The Emeralds are reacting... it must be close in here somewhere." he said. Rouge looked at Knuckles who seemed being lost in his thoughts. "What's wrong?" she asked. Knuckles looked at her "Hmm? Oh it's nothing...I just wonder what they want to do with the emeralds... and how do they know about them..." he said. "Oh..." said Rouge, "this is a good question. Well what do you think they want to do with them?" "How should I know? That's what I'm thinking. I have a really bad feeling about this. We must get Sonic and Shadow back but not give the chaos emeralds!" he said loudly. Tails looked behind him shocked "Why are you shouting?" Knuckles looked at him angrily "We must NOT give the emeralds to this guy!" he shouted. Amy gave him a glare look "What are you talking about we have to take Sonic and Shadow back!" she answered. Knuckles moved his head showing the answer "No" "We must get them back without giving the emeralds! Are you all crazy? Cant you see that they want the emeralds for a bad reason?" he said angrily. Amy was mad now "You prefer the emeralds or Sonic and Shadow?!" she shouted. "I am not saying that! If Sonic was here do you think that he would want you to give up so easily and give the emeralds to an unknown person!?" Knuckles said. "And you think that I am going to listen to a stupid echidna like you??" shouted Amy. "Ok you two be quite!" said Tails and looked in front of him.

They were finally there. They were standing in front of the haunted house. They heard a short scream inside the house. Amy shivered and hid behind Knuckles. "Y... you go first!" Knuckles looked at her "Aw so you are scared now huh?" "I-I'm not scared!" she shouted. Tails put his finger in front of his mouth "Shhh! Be quite!" "Ok let's go and kick some butts inside there!" said Rouge happily "And lets get Shadow back too!" "Ok so here we go..." said Tails. Knuckles, Rouge, Tails and Amy slowly walked towards the door. Tails tried to push it but it opened by itself. Amy was still behind Knuckles "Will you get off my hand?" Knuckles said. Amy didn't move. They both entered the house.

Everything around was really dark. Tails could barely see some stairs. "I don't see anything guys..." said Knuckles. Rouge giggled "A treasure hunter like me knows that in these situations we need some light" she said and took a lighter from her pocket. The little fire from it lightened up everything. Amy screamed while she was looking around the house. Everything was covered with big spiders and different insects. The house looked really empty and nothing seemed to be in there. They could only hear the wind. "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON HERE!? LET'S GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!" she cried. Knuckles covered her mouth "Shut up Amy! They're going to hear us." he whispered. Unfortunately they did. A hole opened on the floor and all four of them fell in the middle of no where.
