Yay I'm back!!!! Twonic goes on!!! =D Sorry I took so long to continue. I drifted away from fanfic for awhile until my friend pulled me back in. So here goes!

Chapter 9

Shadow heard a scream, and whipped his head around to the kitchen. Cream and Tails had heard it too, and were both staring hard at the kitchen. Amy and Sonic came hurrying down the stairs.

"What was that?" Amy asked. Shadow just shook his head.

They waited a few minutes, too scared to check out what was going on, and no one dared break the silence that seemed to stretch on forever. Finally, Emmett emerged (A/N XD Emmett, emerged! get it? yeah, not much of a joke… XD) from the kitchen, unusually serious looking, and said, "I assume you heard that?"

Sonic rolled his eyes, and replied, "Well duh! We're not deaf!"

Emmett sighed. "Anyway, here's what happened: Knuckles was walking around, and tripped. He may have broken a few bones, and gotten quite a collection of bruises and scratches, but other then that, he's perfectly fine."

"What the hell did he trip on?" Sonic asked loudly.

"Sonic!" Cream exclaimed.

"Sorry."

"Anyway," said Tails, turning back to Emmett. "how is he feeling?"

"Just fine." said Emmett.

"May we see him?" Amy asked.

"Er, no, he's not ready for visitors yet." said Emmett rather quickly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes!" Emmett persisted.

"Well, okay…" Amy conceded. I wonder… she thought. Does this have something to do with the Cullens being vampires?

The look on her face must have showed what she was thinking, because Sonic whispered in her ear, "They are not vampires, Amy! They were just teasing you, or something!"

"Then how did they do things that is inhuman?" Amy countered. "Like running so fast, or-"

"You must have imagined it!" said Sonic, cutting her off. "Besides, I can run really fast too!" Then he walked away.

"Yeah, but you're not a human." Amy grumbled to herself.

"Hey, Amy." Amy looked up, and saw it was Emmett who was talking to her.

"Yeah?"

"Could you come with me?" he asked. She nodded, and followed him into the kitchen. Maybe I'll find out what happened to Knuckles. Emmett opened the door to the kitchen, and Amy looked inside. She gasped in surprise.

"Is that…?" she whispered.

Emmett nodded slowly.

Amy closed her eyes, feeling sick. She sank to the floor, and everything went black.
