"So, where did you come from, cat?" Amy asked, slouching down in a delicate white chair. Her black jeans and sweatshirt really opposed the setting of the pretty cafe they were near.

Should I tell her? Will she rat me out? "Uh, I have a name by the way, and how I came here is quite a long story." Blaze sighed.

"I'm all ears….. Cat." Amy smiled.

"You know, I'm beginning to get second thoughts about trying to hang out with you." Blaze made two of her fingers barely touch, and then shoved them near Amy's face. "I'm about this close to leaving!"

Amy laughed and lightly smacked Blaze's hands away. "W-wait! You have to at least run a quick errand with me!" Amy forced through her laughs.

"I don't know… Will you call me by real name?"

"Ok! Ok! I'll call you Blaze! Just come on!" Amy stood and held out her hand.

"Ok…" Blaze grabbed her hand and stood up. "What do you have to do?"

"It's nothing really big. After I'm done, I'll take you back home." Amy unlocked the doors, and both of them got in. "I just have to call my friends up real quick."

"The ones that tried to beat me up last night?"

"Well, yeah, but they'll be nice to you, just don't piss them off." Amy dialed numbers on her cell phone.

"Yeah, whatever…" Blaze rolled her eyes.

"Hey! You know that errand we had to run today?" Amy asked on the phone.

"What errand?" Knuckles asked.

"The errand, Knuckles." Amy said.

"Oh, that errand! I'll go get Sonic." Knuckles hung up the phone.

"Ok, now we're just going to pick them up. Maybe you could even help me with the errand. It's pretty extreme, but I think you could do it." Amy steered the steering wheel, intensely looking out toward the road.

"Well, maybe I could help, if you gave me the details of what you're about to do." Blaze rolled her eyes.

"It's a surprise." Amy smiled.

Once they arrived to the small one story house, on a seedy road, Amy got out of the car.

"I'll be right back." Amy closed the door quickly, and went to retrieve her two friends.

This road looks scary. It's probably ridden with gangsters and prostitutes.

Blaze suddenly heard two car doors slam, and turned around.

"Hey, kid!" Sonic laughed. Knuckles just looked at Blaze and smiled.

"Hey…" Blaze said enthusiastically. She turned back around, and saw Amy open the door to get in the driver's seat.

"Ok! Now we're ready to go!" Amy bounced in the seat and started the car.

She's probably got her group on me to beat me up or something. I can probably take them all out, if I try. Blaze simply smiled as she created a plan on how to overtake all three of them if they gang up on her.

The car stopped in front of brick building that looked like it's been through several layers of Hell.

"Ok, let's go." Amy got out the car and slammed the door.

Everyone got out and trailed after Amy. She knocked furiously and waited for it to open. A bald man opened the door, and his eyes widened once he saw Amy.

"Shit! It's Amy, guys! It's Amy!" He shouted out towards the inside of the building.

"Shut the fuck up!" Amy slammed the bald man to the ground, and kicked his head roughly to the side.

"W-wait! Is this the errand? I don't think we should do this!" Blaze nervously said.

"This is my bussiness, Blaze. Come on, you can help me!" Amy didn't wait for a response and grabbed Blaze's hand to lead her in the building. She closed the door after her, and lead them up a staircase.

"H-hey! You're not supposed to go up there if you don't have an appointment with the boss!" A distant yell caught Amy's attention.

"I don't need a goddamn appointment!" Amy scoffed. She took out a handgun and shot the man running up towards her from the bottom of the stairs.

"I don't think I want to be involved in this!" Blaze shouted.

"Well, you are!" Amy tightened her grip on Blaze's wrist, and led her to a room on top of the staircase. It was a small office, it looked very professional in contrast to the rest of the building.

"Berman! Where the fuck are you! I know you're in here!" Knuckles and Sonic began to wreck the office in search of Berman. When Sonic had flipped over an office desk. There was a well built bear slouching, with the expression of fear on his face.

"I- I'll have it soon!" Berman backed up, making a stop gesture with his right hand.

"Where's my money! I want it today, dammit!" Amy shouted towards Berman.

"I'll have it tomorrow, Amy! I promise!" He cried.

"I heard you the first time you said that TWO MONTHS AGO! You have no more chances bitch! Tie him down!" Amy directed Sonic and Knuckles.

Knuckles and Sonic ran to Berman and held him back from moving. Berman began to have tears run down his face.

"Hey, Blaze! Is this too much for you to handle? Are you scared? Because I was just about to ask you, can you take care of this bitch for me?" Amy taunted.

Blaze saw right through Amy's plan right then and there. So she's trying to scare me, huh? Well I'm not scared of anything! I'll show her right now! Wasting my time with her games! I'll show her for sure!

"Scared?" Blaze gave a maniacal smile. "You're fucking funny! I'll take you and him out, playing these stupid fucking games with me!" Blaze then displayed the very face of homicidal rage. "I'm not fucking scared of you! If that's what you wanted to prove all along!" Blaze shouted.

Amy's eyes widened, as Blaze had charged her into a metal office drawer.

"Hey!" Sonic and Knuckles shouted, releasing Berman in order to help Amy. As they came towards Blaze, she had kicked Knuckles across the office, and tripped Sonic as he ran. Amy then pushed Blaze off of her. Blaze landed harshly on her back near the flipped over desk. Berman had sneaked out during the fight at some point.

"You let him run away! You fucking ruined it!" Amy smacked Blaze hard, and laughed. "You actually think you can fight against me! You're weak!"

Blaze raised her head and punched Amy in the face. Amy retaliated by grabbing Blaze's head and slamming it against the wall. Knuckles and Sonic simply watched from afar, with the their eyes widened.

Blaze charged forward and tackled Amy to the ground. She got off of her and looked down on her. Keeping her in place with her foot on her forehead.

"I'm not weak! I'm tired of people thinking that!" Blaze felt the urge to cry.

My whole life, people have thought I was weak. That I'm just an innocent little girl they could take advantage of! I don't want to be weak anymore! I don't want people to are advantage of me any longer!

"You're not worth my time! You should just fucking leave me alone!" Blaze shouted at Amy, letting her go. She ran back downstairs, and hid in the corner, and started to cry.

The last thing I need them to see is me crying, literally after announcing I'm not weak. Despite her wishes, the three of them had found her, and stared at her crying.

"I'm not weak! I could take down all three of you if I wanted to! If you want to fight me, go ahead! But don't think for one second that I'm weak!" Blaze shouted.

This looks familiar… Amy thought. That was me at one point. That was exactly me when I was younger. When I had to fend for myself, and fight to live. Amy's eyes widened as she looked at Blaze. She is just like how I was…

"Hey…" Amy said.

"Fuck off! If you don't want to fight, then don't fucking talk to me!" Blaze angrily cried.

"I- I don't want to fight you…." Amy felt tears urging to spill. "I really want to help you now!" She shouted.

"No, you don't! You're going to pull something else! Just leave me alone! You think I'm weak, don't you! I'm anything but weak, bitch! I'll show you! I swear to-" Blaze was interrupted when she felt two caring arms wrap around her.

"Let me help! I won't let you leave here alone! If I don't help you, no one else will! This is a cold world, Blaze! And I want to help you! So fucking let me!" Amy began to cry as well, and hugged Blaze tighter.

Blaze's tears increased, realizing someone hasn't hugged her in so long. Blaze then hugged Amy back, and began to cry some more.

Knuckles and Sonic smiled, watching them cry into each other's arms.

"Blaze reminds of you someone, doesn't she?" Sonic whispered

"Yes, yes she does…" Knuckles smiled, "that was just Amy a couple of years ago…" Knuckles crossed his arms, and smiled at the ground.
