Ch. 12: Trapped

"Oh, thank you Sonic. I would have been lost and left to die without you!" A human man said.

"It was nothing! Just don't get lost again." Sonic said as he sped off.

Tails was trailing close behind Sonic happily, "Just like the good old days." He thought. "But still...He seems back to himself now. I know this is hurting him deeply...something in his eyes, is different. I haven't talked to Amy since. I can't believe she was heartless enough to hurt Sonic like this. I'll never forgive her, never."

"Hey Tails! Look over here! The Chao, come quick!"

Tails was confused on how Sonic would ever be interested in Chao, but Tails loved them so he followed Sonic and went to go check it out. At the cliff of the waterfall, a small group of Chao were singing and dancing playfully. They were...happy. Normally Chao are cowering in fear unless they feel safe.

"I guess they feel safe with Sonic around, everyone does." Thought Tails.

"Its amazing, kinda reminds me when Amy used to drag me to the Chao garden..." Commented Sonic, his voice trailing away. When he realized what he had said, he stopped and looked down at the ground, his eyes lowered, he looked as if he was staring at someone's grave. Quietly he whispered, "Amy..."

"Sonic..." Tails replied as he looked at Sonic with wide eyes. "You can get her back. Remember? You're Sonic! You can do anything!"

At that comment, Sonic showed a slight smile. "With motivation...and that, my friend, was Amy." He said as he sat down at the cliff, holding back his tears. The Chao came running towards him as he hat down, dancing and singing around him.

"Poor Sonic..." Sighed Tails as he looked at Sonic. "There has to be something I can do for him. There's always something I can do for Sonic...but what can I, a mere genius kid fox, do for him now?"

Meanwhile in Station Square..

"What a beautiful day." Yawned Amy as she looked out the window from her room. The light brightened her whole room, and the light shone in her eyes, but she didn't mind, she loved it.

"Now where's that necklace Sora gave me..." Amy said as she looked through her dresser. The necklace was lying neatly on top, and it stood out greatly, for it looked very important. She slowly picked the necklace up and looked at it.

"Oh, its so beautiful...sometimes It's so beautiful I'm hesitant to wear it." She giggled. She then turned the necklace over and tilted her head with curiosity. She saw a small white tag in the back, with writing on it.

"I didn't notice this before…" She said as she looked at the tag. She then looked closer and began to read it.

"I hope you like the necklace: From Sonic"

Amy stared at this tag with surprise, holding the string tightly in her palms. "T-This was from Sonic? The jerk that doesn't even want me around? It was from him? My one and only true love? B-But how did it get to the park...when Sonic wasn't even..." Amy stopped. "S-Sonic must have been there...oh my goodness, what have I done!" Amy cried. "Now I know why Sonic left me...this is all my fault...oh, what have I done? Now I may never see him again...I should go find him! I shouldn't just sulk here complaining about the past! Sonic has always made things right for me and now I'm going to do the same for him! I just hope...that he understands, if I help him out...will he forgive me?"

Amy quickly put her necklace on and got dressed in her usual outfit. She ran out of her house as fast as she could, hoping to find Sonic. As she walked out she met up with Sora, he bowed at her politely.

"Good morning." He said happily.

"Yes, yes good morning Sora. I'm off to find Sonic, I'll see you later." She said cheerfully, and ran off quickly.

Sora watched her leave and stared in confusion. "I thought she was over Sonic..." Sighed Sora. "Oh well, I guess she's better off with him."

Every time Amy went to a crowded area, she desperately asked every person if they knew where Sonic was. This was something she commonly did before Sora came around. Most people just chuckled and shrugged, or shook their head. Although a few people mentioned that he should be around somewhere, or that he was taking a vacation in an unpopulated area. Those were always common answers for those who didn't know; for the answers were so vague they could always be true. Then again, no matter where Sonic was, Amy was always finding him. She had great confidence that she would find him...until he was nowhere to be found in Station Square. Then, Amy began to get worried.

"Oh! Where could Sonic be! Where? Where? I'm always able to find him, but why not now? Sonic could be anywhere." Amy suddenly found some logic in her brain after that statement, because she said, "I can't find Sonic...and I haven't seen Tails either! Maybe Tails knows where Sonic is! I mean, he's always told me where he was before, and if not Tails, then I'll ask Knuckles."

Amy went all the way back to her house and got to the phone. She quickly dilled Tails' home number, and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello. You have reached Miles Tails Prower. I am not here at the moment, but maybe I'll be back soon. Please leave a message, and have a nice day!"

"Aw man!" Said Amy as she slammed the phone back in its hook. "Well, time to give Knuckles a try..."

Amy then dilled Knuckles home number, hoping that someone would pick up.

"Hello?" asked a voice that was not Knuckles.

"Rouge? Hey, its Amy, is Knuckles home?"

"Yes, he's here." Replied rouge. "Hey, Amy's on the phone."

"Yes?" Asked a deep, cold voice.

"Hey, do you know where Sonic is by any chance?"

"He went somewhere with Tails, I think the mystic ruins. I could be wrong though."

"Oh really? Never would have guessed. I hope you're right Knuckles. Thanks!"

"Yeah...whatever." Knuckles was smirking from the other side of the phone.

When Amy hung up, she smiled. "I really hope Sonic is at the Mystic Ruins like he said..."

Amy left her house and walked to the Station Square train. As soon as she walked in she heard, "the train for Mystic ruins will be leaving soon."

"Wow, great timing." She thought as she boarded the train. She took a seat, and the train started moving.

There were not many people on this train, most of the people there looked like adventurers or archeologists. Mystic Ruins wasn't really a populated area, it was one of the few areas untouched by human technology, and was a place people went to for research, or just to get away from the world. It was a beautiful place, a much better place to be than the place called Station Square, which was mostly populated by selfish humans.

When the train slowed to a halt, Amy got out of the train and stood on the wooden staircase. The first thing she saw as she got out, were long blue quills near the waterfall. Sonic was there. This made Amy happy, yet she was hesitant to move, for she did not know what Sonic's reaction would be when he saw her.
