Cold Deceptions Ch. 3



The third chapter of my story, hehe ^_^. Unfortunately, my computer crashed on me when I finished the modified version of Chapter 1, D'oh! I didn't save it in time X_X. Oh well, I hope you enjoy this chapter though! So, on with Chapter 3!

Chapter 3: Capture







Melissa peered down the dark alley as she makes her ears flatten to the back of her head. She stops for a moment, and looks back to see if Sonic was following her. Shrugging her shoulders a bit as she saw a few leaves blowing around the cool wind. She turns back around, and resumes walking, letting deep thoughts race her mind.

"I should have destroyed that dopey hedgehog for getting in my way," She grumbled

Melissa stopped again, her large ears perked upwards when she hears a threatening growl. Her head turned to the left side of the alley, only to see a rabid looking dog in front of a little boy that looked about seven years old. The mutt bared its fangs at her, white foam forming at the corners of its mouth. Melissa only smirked evilly when the dog started barking viciously at her. One of her feet slowly lifted from the ground and slammed right into the stray's side. The little boy screamed as the dog yelped, and landed on it's side. The stray dog must be his friend, or it belonged to him. The mutt slowly stood on all fours, but Melissa had unsheathed her sword from the scabbard. The little boy lets out a loud shriek when the sword was suddenly jabbed inside the dog's side. Fresh blood oozes down on the blade of the sword, and the dog stood there motionless; eyes widened, and blood sliding from its mouth. Melissa slides her weapon out slowly, and lets the mutt collapse on the ground. When it took it's last few breaths, the boy runs to its side, crying his heart and soul out.

"Why did you do that!?" The boy screamed, "You killed my friend!! You killed him! Why!? Why!!?"

Melissa just stares the boy down as he continued to scream at her. Her tail flicked back and forth briskly as she begins to advance towards him. Her sword in her right hand, the blood of the dead mutt dripped from the blade. The little boy seemed to be shrieking at her when she growled quietly at him.

"I think it's time that I silenced you!" She snarled. With a quick movement she thrusts the blood-drenched sword into the boy's chest, a choking gasp escaped from his lips. The last thing that boy saw was Melissa's emerald- green eyes, staring coldly back at him. She slides the sword from his chest, letting him fall next to the dead dog. Then, she smears the mixed blood on his face, then wiping the rest off on his shirt.

She smirks like form before, then heathes her weapon. Her ears twitched, and she turned her head to see a rather large man dressed in a cloak, standing before her. Melissa raises an eyebrow at him.

"Got a problem, stranger?" She snorts disapprovingly at him.

"I've been watching you...Melissa Cerrebrus Wolfner..." the man chuckled.

"W-wha? How did you know my name?" She blinks at the stranger.

"..Hm..I know more than just your name..." Melissa just stares at him for a while, saying nothing. The man grinned, and holds out a remote control infront of her. He pressed a small button, and a few moments later a loud whirring sound broke the silence. Then, the ground rumbled a bit when a blue robot steps out of the darkness. The man slowly pulled the hood off his head, revealing himself.

"You're the man who unleashed that huge water monster on Station Square!" She points at him.

"I am Dr. Robotnik! The greatest scientific genius of the world! I have plans for you, young hybrid. Big plans," he chuckles evilly as he rubs his mustache with his free hand. He pressed another button on the control, and the robot quickly lunged at her. Melissa growls, and jumps into the air when the machine swiped its fist at her.

"Call this damn thing off, bastard!" She shouted at him when she landed behind the robot. Eggman merely laughed and continued to press some buttons on the control pad. The robot turned around, and threw its fist at her again. The hybrid snarled angrily, and quickly drew out her sword, smacking the fist away with her blade. She snorts at the machine, and shows her palm to it. A small red ball of energy formed before her hand, and began to grow.

"Corona Fire," she whispers with a grin. The ball of energy soon turned into a dancing ball of fire. Then, she shoots it in the robot's directions as a bright red beam. The attack lasted for about ten seconds or so, when she cuts it off by closing her palm. An explosion quickly followed, lighting up the whole alley. Melissa just stood there, unfazed as she watches the fireworks. As the explosion faded, and the streams of smoke disappeared, the only thing that was left were a few scraps of heated metal.

"Your tin can is out of commission," she smiled turning back at Eggman.

"You're not out of the woods yet!" He replies and presses another button. Another robot similar to the first one walked from behind Eggman. Melissa got into a fighting stance when it aimed its laser canon at her. When it fired, Melissa moved out of the way with ease, and the laser hit some trashcans behind her, making them explode.

"Huh? Agh!!" She groaned out when she was sent flying from the blast, and slammed into the wall. She slides to the ground, and slowly opened her eyes for a few moments, then fell unconscious. Eggman slowly walked in front of her, and smiled evilly.

"Don't worry my soon-to-be half-breed servant. I will take well care of you. Now for phase two- Capture Amy Rose!" He says out loud.

At another part of the city, the pink hedgehog known as Amy walked out of a clothes store carrying two bags full of new outfits. A low groan can be heard behind her when Sonic walks out of the store with even more bags of clothes.

"How did I get into this mess??" He thought to himself.

"Isn't shopping fun, Sonic? Now where shall we go next?" Amy asked him. Sonic just grumbled softly in response, making Amy look back at him with a smile on her face.

"Oh come on, Sonic! Stop acting like a sourpuss! You promised me that you would spend the day with me. So please try to make it a happy one."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Amy," he said quietly.

"Good! Now let's go to the Burger Shop! I'm starving!" She said as she starts to walk further down the street.

Sonic grumbled again and walked after her, lugging the heavy bags of newly purchased clothes. Amy slowed down so that she and Sonic can walk side by side. Another smile came across her face again when she turns to look at him. Sonic noticed she was watching him, and turned his head around to look back at her. Their eyes were now locked onto each other. Amy blushed a little; Sonic had never looked at her that way before.

"He has a soft look in his eyes...Maybe, he's thinking about kissing me!" She thought in her mind. Amy's heart began to pound faster and faster by the minute. Her hands were trembling so much that she almost dropped her bags. Sonic continued to gaze into her eyes when they stopped walking momentarily. It wasn't Amy he was thinking about right now...It was Melissa. He couldn't stop thinking about her. Amy's image slowly faded away, only to have Melissa's image taking her place. He didn't blink when a smile formed on her face. Sonic inched closer to her, his eyes closed halfway. Melissa moves towards him, her eyes closing. Just when their trembling lips touched, Sonic came back to reality, and her image faded back into Amy. He fully opens his eyes, blinking a few times, and then lets out a yelp of surprise. He quickly draws his head back from Amy. She opens her eyes from his yelp, and looks at him, confused. Then, she looked away from him for a bit, feeling kind of hurt. They started walking again, but they didn't say anything to each other for a while.

"Darn! I almost had him!" She thought, "Oh, we're here, Sonic."

"Eh?" Sonic and Amy stopped in front of the Burger Shop and stood there for a few moments.

"Well, let's go!" She said running inside with the bags she was carrying. Sonic just snorted gently, and walked in after her, carrying the other, heavier bags with him.

They stayed inside the Burger Shop for a while, talking to each other a little while eating their lunch at their booth. Amy stares at Sonic while she slowly ate her French fries.

"He's acting pretty weird today. I wonder what's he thinking now?" She thought.

"And that moment when he was about to kiss me...Why did he move away? Was...he thinking about someone else? Oh no! What if he is!? I would lose my Sonikku forever!!" She panicked and bit her lower lip. Sonic took a big bite out of his foot long chilidog, and looked up at Amy.

"What?" He asked her while chewing his food.

"Huh Oh nothing, nothing," she answered.

Sonic shrugged, and looked down, continuing to eat his food. He was already finished with his entire lunch in five minutes. It took Amy longer since she was taking her time, which made Sonic pretty impatient. When she was done, they both got up, and dumped their trash away. They walked out of the Burger Shop, carrying the bags as well. Just as they turned the corner, Amy was quickly snatched up.

"Ack!! What in the world!?" Amy exclaimed, dropping her bags to the ground.

"What the Hell!? Amy!!" Sonic shouted as he watches Amy being carried away by a robot.

"Help, Sonic!!!" Sonic dropped the bags, and went running after them. The robot whirred and the jet packs on it's feet flared on. It started to take to the air with the struggling pink hedgehog in its arms. Sonic grunted and stopped running as he watches Amy getting carried off higher and higher into the sky.

"Shit! I'm too late!" He growled as his hands formed into fists.

"SONIC!! HELP ME!!!" She screamed one last time. Sonic growled again, and then ran the other direction, heading for the train station.

"Looks like I'm going to need the Tornado 2 to get to Amy!" He said as he continued running.



End of chapter 3! Hehe. What's going to happen to Amy and Melissa? You'll find out when chapter 4 is put up! Until then, bye! ^_^
