I'm back and I'm making at least a small chapter for you all. I might make another soon. Possibly today. Who knows. But apologies for making you all wait, and I hope you all are interested in this story still. I'm thinking of more ideas for it since I only have the beginning, this introduction scene, and the end, but the rest, I'm still thinking up. I'll write some ideas down later...
Once the four were able to arrive at the entrance of the Black Hill Forest, a small parking lot fit for at least a few cars was there to give them a place to park. There, they saw what seemed like a black van that looked beat up on a couple parts. Too much dents from too many wrecks, and a small crack on the passenger window. It was Scourge's car, alright. As Sonic parked his car, the four slowly jumped out to greet the other group. Amy walked next to Sonic up to the van to see Scourge sitting on his hood with a backpack over his shoulder. Fiona was next to him and two others with him. A blue falcon and a brown dog.
Scourge looked up from his talk with Fiona and saw the four, "Hey, you girls actually came." he started with a sinister smirk.
Sonic glared up at his brother, "Thank you, Scourge. But you know I'm a boy considering you saw it numerous times." he corrected crossing his arms over his chest.
Scourge shrugged his shoulders, "Can't fool me, bro." he followed giving his brother a dirty look making him shiver a bit.
Amy stepped forward to steer away from that sensitive topic, "We're not gonna let you torture us anymore, Scourge." she said doing her very best to be brave.
The lime green hedgehog hopped off the hood and stood up straight, "I'm hoping you'll take that back later on. Now remember," he started, "We have several hours till the sun will show. Fiona and I will be in one group, Shark, and Bolt will be in one, then you two wasted lives will be in one, and last but certainly least, you two.." as he talked, he started pointing at who ever is there.
Sally and Cream huddled together with Cream clutching on her arm tightly. Those two, Shark, and Bolt were the "buddies" Scourge had mentioned, and one of them was eyeing her up making the poor girl shiver from his look. Sally glared at him protecting her friend from his perverted eyes. Fiona stepped forward, "And, whoever leaves will lose. Let's say you-" she pointed to Amy making her flinch, "-leave the forest without your boy-toy, then both of you are disqualified. Any questions?"
Everyone was silent. No one answered. The silence was the answer she needed. Fiona and Scourge went back to talking their strategy while the rest talked quietly among themselves. Amy grabbed Sonic's hand and held it tightly fearing for what was gonna happen. She was more nervous than when she was before. Even with her friends and boyfriend there to help, she feared the worst. What if the police found them and caught them, then take them in to question? What if her mother finds out and ground her for life? What...what if the stories were true and the monster was real? What if "it" found them and killed them? So many fears were rushing through her head having it hard to breath. Amy didn't realize that all this time, she was clutching Sonic's hand so tightly, and her breathing was fast.
Noticing quickly, Sonic pulled her close and wrapped his other arm around her, "It's going to be ok, Ames." he whispered hoping she would calm down.
She wrapped her other arm around his back and pressed her face in his chest. He felt her hot breath on his furry skin making him feel a bit warm himself. He started to stroke her head gently. He used his fingers to carefully comb through her quills helping her ease her fears. It seemed to work now that her breath was beginning to slow down. Amy felt so protected in his arms. She didn't feel like she was in the forest, nor anywhere near her friends and enemies. She was safe in his arms like how she was in her home cuddling up to him. That was enough to help her calm her nerves.
Amy slowly moved her head away and looked up at him. His emerald eyes stared into hers. He meant so much to her, and felt like if anything does happen, he would be there to protect her no matter what. Sonic, now seeing how calm she was, ended up spoiling the mood by puffing out his cheeks and crossing his eyes in a weird way.
Amy gasped at the sight, but quickly started to giggle. That was what he was waiting for. Her laugh was all he wanted. He relaxed his face smiling down at her, "I finally got you to smile." he cheered.
She stopped and looked up at him again giving him her smile he wanted, "Thank you, Sonic. I really needed that."
"Ahem?"
Both of them turned to see the rest staring at them with annoyed looks. Scourge made a sickly look like he was ready to throw up, "Don't make me puke, you idiots. Get off each other, and let's go." she growled turning away from them.
Sonic and Amy looked at each other again confused, but ignored it as they released their grasp on each other, but quickly locked hands keeping them tight so they wouldn't let go. As all trespassers looked up at the path leading up to the great forest in front of them, each of them began their way up the hill heading to the entrance.
Scourge and Fiona headed up first with Shark and Bolt coming up behind them. Sally and Cream slowly started their way up as they started to talk about fun things like swimming or shopping. Cream was very scared and was clutching Sally for dear life, but being a sister figure to her and Amy, she wanted to at least help her stay calm the whole time. She once felt scared that her mother was gone for a whole day without notice, but her brother started talking to her about her school, and her friends which seemed to help her feel less scared. So hopefully bringing it back to help her dear friend will work as well as it did for her.
In the back of the line, Sonic and Amy started up with him pulling her to follow. She felt her nerves were coming back as they continued up the hill, but watching her lover lead the way with a serious look on his face made her feel little encouraged. If she can go through the night in a dangerous forest and survive, than she can handle anything.
While the few groups were just about to enter the forest, they didn't know that hiding in a dark tree nearby, a pare of burning red eyes of anger was watching them.
