She could see it.
It was in perfect view.
Angel Island.
It was so beautiful.
Tall mountains, lush green, water tricking off the edges…
So romantic.
It must have looked really beautiful at dawn and dusk…
But how did she get there?
It was so high up…
It was as if only angels could get there.
What if she was planning to betray an angel..?
What if..?
She shook her head vigorously.
There was nothing useful coming from that train of thought.
Besides, an angel wouldn't be an 'idiot'… and she needed to be warm.
Every living thing craved emotion, in one way or another.
You could never deny craving emotions.
Whether it be happiness, anger, peace…
Amy craved love more than anything else.
Love was her craved emotion.
And, being a living thing, she would do anything to get it.
Anything to return the warmth she once had.
She had lost it when she was six years of age…
It was then her world turned stone cold.
But…
She shook her head again.
Ever since Sonic had hurt her like he did, she'd been thinking depressing thoughts.
She needed to focus on the tiny flame on the candle inside of her, not her cold heart and soul.
Little things could become big…
So that tiny flame might one day become a raging fire, warming every entirety of her being.
She back up at Angel Island.
That was the life she wanted.
But first she had to figure out how to get up there…
She blinked, something caught her eye.
It looked like a pink orb surrounded by blue, on a blue stand.
She approached it, nervously; the last thing she saw was a blue light…
His eyes widened.
A pink hedgehog, who looked remarkably like the one he took the Children of Chaos from, appeared in front of him.
He got into a fighting position, but didn't make any move to attack.
There was a nagging voice at the back of his head wailing for him not to attack.
The hedgehog looked quite fragile, he couldn't attack.
"Uh… hello…" Amy said, backing away from the echidna.
"What do you want?" said the growl-like reply.
"Um…" she didn't want to say what she wanted, so she changed the subject. "I'm Amy. What's your name?"
The echidna got into a normal posture, and looked down at himself.
He couldn't remember his name ever being told to him…
If he had one at all…
He needed to make one up, or…
"You didn't answer my question."
"I heard you were living by yourself… so I thought you might want company…"
The echidna quietened.
He could feel heat in his cheeks, though he wasn't sure why.
He just hoped the hedgehog – Amy, couldn't see.
"So, what's your name?" Amy repeated.
The echidna quickly looked down at himself, until his eyes rested upon his large hands, the spikes sticking out of them…
"Knuckles…" he muttered. "My name's Knuckles…"
"Well… hi Knuckles…" Amy said nervously.
The echidna was making her feel uneasy.
Just as she was making him feel the same way.
"Um… can I ask you something..?"
"What?"
"Well… you know echidnas died 3000 years ago…? How were you born…?"
"Why should you care?"
"I was just wandering…"
Maybe she shouldn't ask so many questions on the first day… get to know him more first…
All she could understand right now was that he was a jerk.
She had to be careful…
He didn't seem like the 'idiot' Sonic was describing.
On the contrary, he was quite smart.
An idiot would've fell for her change of subject.
What if he didn't fall for the rest of her plan?
What if he ruined it?
She'd wait a while until she said the three small words…
The three small words she so desperately wanted to hear.
"I love you..."
Amy's ears perked up.
Who said that?
She looked around.
No…
Surely it couldn't have been…
Hope you like it
