Ace of Spades

Chapter 21 – A Little Counter

Sonic's POV

Walking with Amy holding my hand we neared Shadow's house to find a truck outside the door.

"Who's that Sonic?" Asked Amy as I replied.

"I don't know. Stay back."

Getting behind me I approached the front door to find it wide open.

"Hello!? Shadow!?" I shouted as I heard some rumbling inside.

Stepping into the house I walked to the edge of the stairs.

The house had been ransacked.

"Shadow!?" I shouted as I heard the rumbling getting louder.

Amy remained by the door as I stepped up the stairs

Seeing the hall upstairs trashed I heard the noise coming from one of the rooms.

Looking into what I guessed was Shadow's room I saw a figure dressed in black.

"HEY STOP!" I ordered as he looked up at me in surprise.

"Who are you!?" He asked as I shouted.

"I'm asking the questions! Now show me your hands!"

Walking out from behind Shadow's bed I saw he was holding a box and a case of some sort.

"Get out of my way boy!" He ordered as I screamed.

"Drop it!"

"As you wish!" He replied through his mask as he tossed them out the window and into the front yard.

Defending myself I watched in fear as the unknown robber pulled out a knife.

"Last chance boy! Don't be a hero!"

"Drop the knife or I'll...!" In fear I stared at the blade as the man got closer.

Unable to move I widened my eyes as he sent the blade across my chest.

"AGHH!" In pain from the slash I backed up as the man screamed.

"I don't want to kill you but I will! Now move before you I have no other choice!"

In anger I charged the man.

Pushing him back into the dresser I watched as he sent his knee up into my gut.

Letting him go in pain I looked up to his fist coming.

"Bash!"

Blood sailed off my lip as he sent me back onto the floor.

Attempting to get up I was forced to stand as he grabbed my neck.

"Now move!" He ordered as he tossed me into the hall.

Slamming my back into the wall I fell down on my knees as the man rushed by me.

"Stop!" I screamed as I ran at him.

Amy's POV

"AHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as loud as I could as I saw Sonic widen his eyes in pain.

The robber held his blade in his stomach and I was forced to watch as he shouted.

"I said not to try and be a hero and look what happens! Same as all heroes, they die!"

In tears of fear I watched as he pulled out the blade and tossed Sonic head first down the stairs.

Slamming down face first on each step I screamed as the robber ran out the front door to his truck.

Running to Sonic I panicked as he gagged up blood.

"SONIC!" I screamed as he began to drain blood onto the stairs.

Blood swam up from his mouth as the man drove off.

"SONIC!?" I screamed as he held my hand as tight as he could.

As he tried to hold on I went for my phone.

"Ring! Ring! Ring!"

"Nine one one what's your emergency?"

"My boyfriend has been stabbed!" I screamed as the woman asked.

"Miss I need to know where you are!?"

"We're on Gare Street!" I stated as she replied.

"Medical personal are coming as we speak!"

"Thank you!" I shouted in tears as Sonic began to feel cold.

Putting down my phone I held Sonic's hand as tight as I could.

"Please Sonic hold on! Helps coming!" I stated in tears as he took smaller breaths.

"Am...amy?!" He whispered in pain as I cried on his blue jacket.

"Sonic please relax! The ambulance is on it's way!" I stated as he began to get pale.

"Amy!?" He shouted as blood splashed my shirt.

"What is it!?" I wondered as he replied.

"I...I...I love...I love you!"

In complete sadness I cried.

"I love you too!"

Losing grip on my hand I tried to hang on but failed letting his hand hit his side.

"Sonic please hang on!" I begged as his eyes went still.

"SONIC!?" I screamed as I heard the sirens coming.

Sonic's eyes stared at me blankly and his quills went cold as the medical personal rushed in.

"IS HE OK!?" I asked they felt for a pulse.

The medics shook their heads in anger and attempted CPR.

"SONIC!?" I screamed as he remained still.

Becket's POV

Taking off the black mask I rested it down in the seat next to me along with the blood covered knife.

Hitting the gas I went back to Issac's with all of Shadow's belongings.

Fucking heroes!
