Chapter 10

Wait a minute, Sonic thought to himself, Why am I giving up? I can't quit now. I can't leave Amy, I promised her I never would. After thinking about what he had done, he quickly sprung into action. While getting up out if his seat he was ready for anything.

"I'm not giving up that easily egg-head," Sonic said then kicked him in the back. Eggman was pushed forward into the controls. He coughed as he found out the emergency button was pushed.

"You fool! The self destruct button has been activated," Eggman said with a mad and worried voice. Sonic backed up a little looking down to where Amy was. Shadow was still holding her. The ship made a loud beeping noise. Almost like a fire alarm. Shadow hesitated.

"I'm outta here," he said then vanished with a bright light. Amy stood there frightened. Sonic jumped down to her raping his arms around her giving her a worm hug. She was crying out of all that had happened. Sonic had some tears because of how worried he was about her. Now he knows that she's safe in his arms. But they wouldn't be safe for long if they didn't get out of there.

"Sonic, what are we going to do," Amy asked holding him tight. He tried to comfort her.

"Why is his ship beeping? What's going on," Amy asked even more frightened. He held her close hoping she wouldn't be too scared.

"We need to get out of here Amy. Now," Sonic said as he picked her up bridle ways. Eggman looked at them. He was trying to find a way to get off of the ship. He found out he could just jump, so he did. He got out the rope gun from the box on his ship. Eggman made an evil smile as he aimed it at Sonic. With one shot, the rope went around Sonic pulling him away from Amy. She gasped as it took Sonic away from her. He struggled to get free but it was too tight. Eggman took the one end of the rope from the gun and tied it to the handle on his ship.

"Now you're gonna pay for getting away. This will be rather explosive," Eggman said then made a run for it. Amy didn't know what to do. She ran to Sonic.

"This is never good," Sonic said trying to get free. The beeping got louder and louder. Amy tried to get it undone with him.

"I'm not leaving you Sonic. I'm not leaving until you're free," Amy said while putting her hands on his cheeks.

"Amy please, there's not much time. Go, hurry, before it explodes," Sonic said looking in her eyes. She didn't reply as she kept trying to untie him. Then she got an idea. Amy took out her hammer holding it high.

"I'm going to break the rope that's tied to the ship," Amy said as she went behind. The beeping was getting louder and faster. Their time was running out. She held it high and took the hit. The rope snapped away from the ship. Sonic took the ropes off and picked Amy up again. He ran out with super speed as the ship exploded behind them. The explosion took Amy's house with it. Sonic set her down on the hill far away from the fires. She was crying because she lost everything she owned. Sonic sat beside her holding her tight. He stroked her quills telling her it was going to be ok and that they were lucky to be alive. He felt so bad for her. Everything was gone except for the clothes on her back.

"Amy please don't cry. All of this can be replaced," Sonic said as he was interrupted.

"Yeah right, that would take too long," she spoke in a sad cracky voice. "I lost everything I had, everything that I worked for. I have nothing now. I wish that the explosion had killed me."

"Don't say that Amy. I know that everything is gone but at least you're ok. I'll help you get a new house and new everything. I won't abandon you. I'll give you shelter and food. You can stay with me. I have some money and we can buy you new clothes and anything else that's really needed. But please don't say you'd rather die," Sonic said hoping she would agree. She was looking at her house that was burning away. Amy slowly stood up. Sonic did too.

"I want to be alone," Amy said moving away from Sonic.

"But-

"Please don't follow me. I want to walk out my sadness," Amy said turning away from him.

"Amy I want to help-

"I'll be fine Sonic don't worry now leave me alone."

"I don't like the fact you'll be alone-

"You need to start trusting me. I'll be fine."

"Who knows what's out there that can hurt you-

"I said leave me alone! Now go away!"

"Amy-

"GO!" Amy said angered. Sonic was silent. As much as he didn't want to leave her alone, he didn't want to make her even angrier. He looked down sad to know Amy was mad at him for caring. Amy still didn't leave yet. She thought about what she said and felt bad about it. Amy went to him holding his hand.

"Sonic I…you can…I didn't mean…" She was hesitating not knowing what to say. He looked away starting to feel mad himself.

"I'm sorry Sonic…I was just so angry about myself that I didn't think about you. I should of but I didn't. And I'm sorry. Will you walk with me," Amy apologized putting her other hand on his chin pulling his head upright. He looked in her eyes. He could see the sorrow in them.

"It's ok Amy…I understand. I'd like it if I could go with you," Sonic said letting out a smile. Amy felt better to know he wasn't mad and she hugged him. He hugged back as they held tight. They let go stilling holding hands. They started to walk, Amy looked away from her house as fire trucks finally started to arrive. She ignored them as she kept walking. Even though her house was gone and so was her belongs, she didn't care much. All she was caring about was Sonic being by her side. She was grateful for him to be alive and very grateful for his care that he gave to her.
