A/N: Extremely sorry for late upload. :(

He was right there... Sonic. In my house. On my bed. He was lying there, some cotton wool covering his scar that was gushing out an unhealthy amount of blood just a few moments ago. He seemed tired which was highly unusual since I was used to Sonic constantly being on the go but I wasn't complaining at all. Especially now that I was the one taking care of him. I'm his guardian angel! Now that we were officially boyfriend and girlfriend, many of Sonic's friends had come over to check on him since it had only been two days since Sally had dropped us of at my house and Sonic had announced it to everyone on the school website. We were so happy together and nothing could change that. Nothing except...

That stupid robot.

I can't stop thinking about Metal. Like at all. I'm sick of thinking of him. I want him to disappear but it won't happen. I admit that I'm scared of what's going to happen to Metal now that he's trapped in the clutches of the Freedom Fighters. I doubt they would hurt him or torture him but the possibility couldn't escape my mind. He's evil don't get me wrong and I'm not like that at all but even now, with Sonic and me living the perfect life, I want Metal back. Just to see if he's ok.

"Ames!" Sonic called out for me. Smiling with a chili dog in my hand, I rushed straight for him.

"What is it Sonic?"

"I was just gonna say that you look kinda worried... That's all. Don't worry I love all chili dogs." I passed him the chili dog which he scoffed up almost immediately. It was actually quite impressive honestly. He looked so cute when he was injured. So helpless. He really needed me didn't he?

"I'm just worried about you Sonic. Your wounds are still bleeding. I thought it would have stopped by now." I told him nervously. Sonic sighed.

"It doesn't hurt anyway so there's nothing to worried about. And anyway we need to get to school. Did you forget it's a Monday?" He asked me joyfully, rubbing his hands together. To tell the truth I did forget. I've been so caught up on everything that had happened. Metal, Sally's identity, Tikal and my true love actually being in love with me. I'm so grateful that Sonic's in love with me. Sonic got up and quickly got dressed, giving me a slight kiss on the cheek. "I'd better go. I have early Maths and I'm pretty sure it's a test. I know I'll ace it though. Sit next to me at lunch k?" Sonic said and I nodded. Winking at me, he turned and ran straight out of the house in such speed that the wind blew my hair upwards in all directions. Now I look crazy! Totally worth it. I grabbed a brush and started to make my hair neat and tidy when my phone rang. I picked it up and placed it to my ear. A high pitched squeak rang into my ears.

"EEK" said the voice. I laughed slightly.

"Cream?" It was obvious it was her.

"Is it true Amy? You're going out with Sonic now? Did you kiss? she asked. I couldn't contain myself.

"YES! I can't believe it. He said he loved me and we kissed and we're living together and it's true love. I thought I must be dreaming but I knew I wasn't when we held hands. I love him so much! We are totally going to get married. Sonic only loves me and he watches me during gym class. He confessed that to me! I mean wow I thought I was the only one to do that." My tangent only seemed to excite Cream more.

"Wow! That is so cool. I'm so happy for you Amy. See you at school. We have lots to talk about don't we?

"Yes we do! See you there Cream!" I said happily and I hung up. It seemed that Cream wasn't the only one who knew this. Texts from nearly all my friends had come through concerning my relationship with Sonic.

omg no way you and sonic lol I don't believe it.

Tikal :3

You and Sonic. I guess it was inevitable. Good job.

Blaze

Did you blackmail Sonic into going out with you? Just jk I'm impressed.

Rouge.

There was no such texts from Sally which worried me even more. Would she turn up at school today? I hope so. I headed out the door and began my ten minute walk to school. Me and Cream continued to text about how great Sonic was as I walked, my feet aching slightly as I took each step. During my journey, I would always pass by Fang's casino so I was dreading going there after what had happened the night before. It would remind me of the massive fight that had taken place there. When I caught eye of the casino, I could see Fang and Tikal standing right in front of it, engaging in a conversation. They were whispering and being very secretive so I automatically got suspicious. I didn't at all trust Tikal completely and Fang's notorious shady deeds isn't something I'd call trustworthy either. The two began to walk into the casino and I grew even more curious. Should I follow them in there? I had to. They were up to something. I entered the casino and my eyes sparkled seeing all of the beautiful colours and lights while orgasmic sounds of slots ringing and music blasting out rang through my ears. The casino was quite large and spacious but I kept track of Fang and Tikal who seemed to be heading towards the lounge room, evident by the massive sign stating so. Running past an eagle with a bucket of change, I quickly entered the room before they were able to see me. I glanced around looking for a place to hide, but there wasn't much decision. Just a comfy red couch, another door which I assumed was some sort of cupboard for broken down slot machines and a wardrobe. I got in the wardrobe, making great care to shut the door behind me. I left a slight crack open so I could see what was going on. I was quite lucky as almost instantly, the two had walked into the room and locked the door behind them. They both sat onto the couch, Fang's arm around Tikal's shoulder. He was smirking maliciously and Tikal seemed to be drawing him in. It was so unlike her. She was being seductive, nibbling his neck softly which caused a soft moan.

"Come on... Tell me..." she spoke in a quiet yet attractive voice, staring deep into his eyes. What was going on?

"I don't know anything about it Tikal. I didn't bust him out. I..." but he was cut off as Tikal slipped her hands to Fang's chest, stroking it erotically. He blushed furiously and attempted to kiss her but she backed her head away.

"Not until you tell me everything sweetie." she demanded of him and he growled.

"You're teasing me mate. That's all." he said but Tikal giggled. Putting her hands behind his neck, she kissed him passionately for some time then let go.

"Now are you ready to tell me?" she asked and Fang rubbed his head with his hand.

"Dr Eggman made me swear not to tell anyone but..." Eggman? He's been working with Eggman? I should have known! "Me and some men were able to take down the jet that held the robot thing. The leader escaped but the rest are... casualties. We have Metal as of now. It was pretty easy but what should I expect." Fang shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands in the air. They have Metal Sonic? This is all so much. Why would Fang and Tikal recapture Metal. What were they planning?

"You're a real tough guy aren't you." Tikal said as her hands reached lower and lower, moving in closer to the weasel. "Tell me then. Where is he now?" Fang laughed softly.

"He's right in that room." Fang pointed to the door I had glanced at before. No way he was in there. He's lying. I remained still, listening to every word.

"Still in chains?" Tikal questioned.

"No we let him be free. He didn't attack us or nothing. He followed us gladly. He knows I'm the boss." Fang boasted as he placed his hands onto Tikal's. "Who cares about any of that anyway. Are you like with Eggman or something?"

"I can't tell you. But... There is something you need to know..." she said as she licked the weasel's cheek. Fang was almost bright red.

"Yeah?" he moaned in pleasure.

"Amy's in this room. Right now." Tikal said, her eyes sighting the wardrobe. Fang jumped backwards in shock and so did I. How could she have known I was here? Fear trembling in my heart, I stood perfectly still in the hope that they wouldn't catch me but it was too late. I'm screwed. Fang angrily opened the wardrobe to see me cowering inside of it.

"What the hell are you doing here. You bitch!" he screamed at me and I couldn't even look at him. I was so scared that I closed my eyes and hid under my arms. He grabbed me forcefully and threw me towards the couch, banging my arm onto the side table. He immediately tied my hands to the sides of the bed. Tikal smirked and turned to Fang.

"I think Metal would be glad to see her, you agree Fang?" she asked and Fang smiled evilly.

"Me and you can go somewhere else. Let's leave these two lovebirds alone." Fang said and he opened the door where Metal was being held. Clanky footsteps echoed in the room and I was petrified.

"Please help me Tikal. I didn't mean to." I begged her and Tikal remained unconcerned. I knew I couldn't trust her.

"See you at school Amy!" Tikal waved at me, her sarcastically enthusiastic voice piercing my heart. She and Fang left the room, locking the door behind them. The robot came closer to me, his claws covered in dark red blood.

"Amy." Metal said, his eyes glowing and even though I was in this situation, I felt relieved. Relieved and Frightened at the same time. I was about to die.
