The Traitor - Chapter 3 - Run Sonic, Run!
By: Clarachu É
'Stay here until the matter is resolved, huh? I'll make sure to do better. I know I can be good enough,' Amy thought to herself as she lay in her bed the next day. She decided to get up and buy a copy of the Knothole Times, the daily newspaper. Amy read the headline:
'ROBOTROPOLIS CRIME BUST BUSTED BY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG AND SALLY ACORN!'
"Figures," she said out loud to herself, but Tails had been walking and heard her.
"Amy, I know that something is wrong. I know you. What is it this time?" Tails asked but wasn't ready for her reply.
Amy shouted, "Tails, you know nothing, NOT A THING about me! Stop pretending that you or anyone else cares, cause I'm tired of all of you treating me like dirt. I quit the freedom fighters!" She ran off, but Tails just stood shocked with held back tears in his eyes that threatened to come out.

'I gotta run, I gotta be better than all of them. I can do it. I'll never look back.' This is what Amy repeated to herself right before a memory of her and the Freedom Fighters having fun together popped in her head. Confused and tired, she stopped her running, and dropped to her knees. After wiping the sweat from her eyes, she looked up to where she had taken herself. The sign read: "ROBOTROPOLIS". Yes, she had ended up to the one place she wish she hadn't gone to - Dr. Robotnik's evil city!
Meanwhile back in Knothole Village, Tails, Sonic's best friend, was breaking the news to everyone, that Amy had run away and quit the Freedom Fighters. Princess Sally felt her lips pursing into a smile, but restrained when everyone looked toward her and asked for advice.
"Guys," Sally said, "I think it's just time we let her do what she wants. She's not such a baby anymore."
Sonic stood up. "Sal, have you like, lost your mind? What's up with wanting to just dis her like that-we gotta find out what's wrong and make sure she's safe. Who's with me!"
"YEAH!" Everyone else shouted, and Sally put on a face of regret and apologized. They forgave her, and passed her comments off as if she only said that because she was having a bad day. "Any ideas?" Tails asked. "Like, where do we start looking? And how?" Sonic then looked toward the door and said, "I think I know just the person to help us."

Can't hold on much longer...
Sonic ran. I mean, he RAN! No one was going to take away his friend, his family. He thought to himself, 'Please be home, Please be home!' Through the forest he ran, breaking twigs in the ground and picking up more dust and dirt than a vacuum. Then, he reached the door of the one person he could trust to find Amy. His ultimate enemy, and his best friend. The person he hates and the person he loves (A/N: as in friendship). Sonic walked up to the door and knocked.
Open up your heart, it's gonna be all right! The song ended, and the door swung open. É
