Jennifer's pov
As I was finishing up with Shadow, Rouge returned with Sonic, and a limping Knuckles. Sighing I cast a tired look to Shadow, "Seems as if I have another patient." He only responded with a eye roll. Rouge and Sonic went to talk with Shadow while I looked Knuckles over. He grimaced at me but allowed me to check his leg. As I was probing his leg, I glanced up at him, "I understand if you don't trust me." "But I guarantee I will do what I can to keep you guys safe." He seemed surprised by my small speech and grunted "thanks." "Ok I think you just sprained your ankle, ask Amy for some ice and keep it elevated." With a nod to me, he left to get the ice.
Looking back at the others, I found them all staring at me with curious expressions. Confused I asked, "what?" Shadow stood from the bed and was fiddling with something in his hand. I felt icy fear go down my spine when I realized, that they had seen my sleeping, anxiety, and depression medicine on the nightstand. "What are these for?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Panic filled me, but I smiled and tried to play it off. Oh I have trouble sleeping,they are just some pills my doctor prescribed," shrugging my shoulders, I quickly changed the subject.
"So what are we going to do about eggman?" Shadow looked at the bottle once more, before placing it back on the nightstand. Sonic answered me, "He only has one emerald, so we need to find the others before him." "That is our top priority." "Can I do anything to help?" Shaking his head at me, he said, "No we can handle it, you've done too much anyway." "Let's go tell the others." Sonic left Rouge following behind him. I turned to find Shadow staring at me with a emotion I couldn't identify. He opened his mouth to speak, "So you have three different sleep pills?" Sighing I said, "They vary in dosage strength Shadow." Looking at me, he replied, "I see." The lie I told came out smooth as butter. But again, he seemed unconvinced and picked up one of the bottles.
"He's going to find out, and they will know your dirty little secret." The voice was back. I stared wide-eyed at the floor. "Go away,"I whispered. "What was that?" My eyes snapped to Shadow, who was looking at me with narrowed eyes. "Nothing, just thinking I should dust in here its uh filthy!" I quickly blurted out. "You need to rest, I'll get you something to eat!"With that I all but ran out of the room. I hurried to make a quick sandwich, grabbing a bag on my way back. I handed the plate to Shadow. "Hope you like roast beef!" I said. Then I started to shove my medicine in the bag. He was staring again so I simply said, "I'm moving into the guest room until your better."
Leaving him to eat I went to the guest room shoving the bag under the couch. I heaved a big sigh I needed to go to the hospital. I was terrified of this voice. But they were getting to close, and I could feel myself getting attached. It was all too much. Before I could start crying, I went to get ready to go to the hospital. As I was in the shower, I heard screams. "What the?" I quickly shut off the water and jumped out of the shower. But I slipped on water and came crashing down. I felt my head crack against the sink and saw stars. There was more yells as I struggled to get up. I could hear Cream screaming for help, and crashing echoed through my house.
"I'm coming Cream!" Throwing on my clothes, I grabbed the bat I kept in the closet for emergencies, running downstairs. My living room was demolished, and there was screaming coming from the kitchen. Rushing in I saw Amy knocked cold on the floor, Shadow was collapsed on the ground panting. Sonic had Cream and Tails behind him in a fighter's stance. But the strange thing was they were all staring at me. "What happened in here?" I yelled. Their eyes flashed behind me, and Shadow yelled "Look out!"Whirling around I saw what looked like a robot copy of Sonic. It held Rouge in a head lock with one arm, and was reaching for me with the other.
Letting loose a scream, I swung my weapon with all my strength. With a sickening crack it collided with, the robots face. My bat splintered, the robot, however, sported only a small dent for my troubles. I tried to swing again, but it grabbed hold of my arm and swung me completely off the floor. I felt myself be flung across the room landing on the table. As the table collapsed under the force, I tumbled into some broken , I was being lifted again, and this time screamed as I was slammed back down. The glass sliced into my exposed skin. I heard the others cry out my name. Rolling over I faced the robot who was still advancing on me. Before it could touch me though, a black blur slammed into it.
Shadow started throwing punches at the machine. In his injured state, he was no match for the robot and was quickly tossed aside. The thing was now severely dented, and looked towards me. "New target acquired, Jennifer" it spoke. "How does it know my name?!" I cried out to Sonic. He looked as confused as me. However, nothing else could be said as the robot snatched me up and bolted out the door.I screamed long and hard into the night. Looking behind us, I saw something following us. Of course, Sonic had super speed. But I realized at that moment just how fast my kidnapper was going. It seemed this robot had super speed too! I started to struggle and put up as much fight as I could.
But all I was doing was bruising myself. Sonic was almost upon us now, but the robot had other plans and completely stopped. Sonic rushed past before appearing right in front of us. "Give her back Metal!" Sonic yelled. The robot said nothing, then reached inside a small opening in his chest, pulling out one of the chaos emeralds. "Chaos control!" It shouted. Then I felt the most awful sensation, and the world seemed to twist and bend before my eyes. Crying out in fear I squeezed my eyes shut. The feeling stopped and a voice spoke, "Ah Metal your back did you succeed?" Opening my eyes, I saw a fat man. "Cream was not accessible" the robot replied. "Who have you brought me then?!" The man said impatiently. "The girl they are staying with Jennifer." The man looked me up and down. Then laughed so hard, his ridiculous looking mustache bobbed uncontrollably.
I was furious how dare this man take me from my home. I could feel my anger rising and blood boiling. "Take her to a cell Metal!" "Yes ." Wait, wait just a moment. "The who sent the others and CREAM here?" I snapped. "How dare you!" The man looked surprised at my outburst. I took a few steps towards him. "You stupid imbecile, you think you can destroy my house, kidnap me, then throw me in a cell!" I was in his face now, screaming my frustration and stress out. "I have WORK in the morning you MADMAN!" He grew red in the face at my insult, "Get her out of my sight!" He screamed. The robot dragged me off, but I continued to rant, "YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR ALL THE DAMAGE YOU JERK!" As we were rounding the corner, I threw out one last threat. "LET ME GO THIS INSTANCE, OR I SWEAR, I WILL RIP THE MUSTACHE OFF YOUR FACE!" I had the satisfaction of seeing his horror-struck face before the robot dragged me out of sight.
