I am Sonic
By Unit 03
DAY 3
Chapter 5: Disclosure
Amy held onto Sonic's hands lovingly. He meant everything to her, and there wouldn't be a chance that she would let him down.
"Sonic, please...tell me what happened." Sonic hesitated.
"Since I got back, I haven't slept. I can barely eat. I couldn't even taste the food." Amy noticed how hard he was taking this. "Cream gave me these." He said pulling out the flower crowns. Amy took them in her hand.
"They smell real nice." Then more pain took over Sonic's face.
"I can't smell them." Amy dropped the flowers, slowly caressing Sonic's face. "But I can still feel. Whenever I feel your warmth..." Amy hugged him close again. "...That's when I feel truly alive."
"I'm sorry." She wouldn't dare let go. "I promise we'll find out what happened and set things right."
"Amy..."
"What is it?" She looked into his eyes.
"I can't...I can't cry." Amy shed a tear of her own from one eye, then shed another one for Sonic from the other. She buried her face in Sonic's chest. Sonic gently stroked her quills.
"Please...don't leave." A long moment of silence passed. The two couldn't part.
Before Sonic or Amy said another word, the ground shook from a large explosion nearby. They were brought out of their almost trancelike state. A cloud of smoke was rising in the north. Sonic broke the embrace.
"I should go check this out," he said as he watched the black smoke rise.
"I'm going with you," Amy instantly replied.
"I could be dangerous. Please, stay." Before Amy could answer, Sonic was already on his way. Amy did what she could. She started running after him, knowing that sooner or later she would catch up to him.
Amy heard several explosions in that direction. She could make out a voice over a loud speaker. She wasunable to make out the words, but it was certainly Eggman's voice. Fiery blasts resonated just ahead of her. Amy started breathing heavily as she ran as fast as her legs would take her. As she drew closer and closer to the battleground, she began to worry. And as she worried, she became afraid.
"Sonic, please be okay." Once Amy got into a clearing, she spotted a large flying machine. Eggman was clearly visible piloting the contraption. She watched as he fired a round of missiles towards the ground. Amy stopped dead in her tracks as she heard a sound that she wouldn't soon forget. She could hear Sonic, screaming in pain. A ghastly look took her face, as she felt truly powerless to stop his pain. Worse still, Sonic wasn't in sight. She searched for him frantically as Eggman flew away towards his fort.
