Chapter 3: Healing Slowly

Once again Amy roused from her painful slumber. 'I really need to stop going to sleep on the couch, I'm going to throw out my back..' she thought as she moved her hand around in search for her T.V. remote. Unable to find the item she cracked her eyes. With each breath she took the pain in her chest got worse and worse. A large amount of light blurred her vision as she tried to sit up. The pain in her chest quickly became unbearable and she let out a yelp.

"Amy! No! Don't move yet, you'll agitate your injury." came a voice from the left.

Memories from the day before hit her full force and she moaned, wanting to just go back to sleep. Finally, she gathered her courage and Amy opened her eyes. When her eyes finally adjusted and she looked around with wonder.

The area would have been very beautiful had it not been the scene of such horrible pain. A piles of gathered metal lay around. The ground was covered in scorch marks and dried blood.

A smoldering fire lay near her, the final embers still burning. On the other side of them lay Tails. He was still unconscious. Knuckles was crouched over him and Rouge was moving to her best friend. Amy looked around wildly for Sonic, expecting him to hurt or yell at her again. She tensed when some one grabbed her shoulder and waiting for the blow to come.

"Amy? Are you alright?" it was only Rouge. The pink hedgehog nodded softly, ignoring the pain that assaulted her with each breath.

"Amy, you need some bandages for your chest. Lay back down so I can put them on. We found some of the suitcases and are using the clothes." Rouge explained as she tried to ease Amy back to the ground. The girl shook her head viciously, regretting it afterward.

"Did you have to take those from Tails?" Rouge looked down for a moment. "We didn't have enough for both of you so Knuckles and I split them up pretty evenly." the bat murmured. Amy's gave trailed to Tails. Knuckles was the best to take care of him, the Echidna lived alone and relied on himself for medical help.

Though for some reason, even the fact that Amy had taken most of the fall, he seemed worse for wear. The blood had been rubbed odd his body but bruises rose up on him everywhere.

His left leg and arm were both twisted in wicked angles and it looked like he had a concussion. Knuckles was currently trying to wrap his leg with the last of the cloth, his arm was still untouched.

Shaking her head again Amy looked at Rouge. "Tails needs it more than I do, plus I don't even feel my injuries!" she said cheerfully. Rouge inspected the younger girls face for a moment before giving a solemn nod and walking back over to where Tails lay. She began to wrap up the young foxes arm.

Amy looked away again. She had no idea what her own physical condition was at the moment but she knew it was pretty bad. As a matter of a fact she was in serious pain but Sonics' words stuck to her.

" AMY!! WHAT HAPPENED TO TAILS?!?! WHAT DID YOU DO NOW?!?!?!"

She ignored the pinprick of tears that threatened her and forced herself up to her feet. She didn't know that 5 of her ribs were either broken or cracked, or that she had a concussion and a huge amount of bruises as well. She began to take a few tentive steps forward and looked around again.

At that moment, Sonic decided to show up. He had sat up all night while Rouge and Knuckles took a rest and watched over Tails and Amy. He knew it wasn't Amy's fault. He really didn't know what had happened on the plane. All he did know was that his beast friend might die. He couldn't help but blame the girl who always ended up causing problems.

He glared at Amy. "About time you got up." he snapped as he walked by. He held two halves of a coconut in his arms. Both were filled with water. He walked towards Tails, balancing the water carefully. Suddenly he stopped and ducked to the ground. He tipped a good portion of water out of one half then continued on to his other friends.

Rouge smiled gratefully at Sonic and accepted the water. She took a drink then dipped a clothe in the water. Dabbing it on Tails head and cleaning off the dried blood. Knuckles took the other cup from Sonic and looked into it. It was the one that the hero had spilled water out of. Amy watched as Knuckles took a drink. Just as Sonic was about to finish it off Rouge spoke up.

"Amy you got a drink, right?" she watched Sonic carefully. Sonic turned to the bat and spoke. "Yeah, she took a whole lot too. Knuckles you saw how much was missing." The red hero nodded as Rouge turned to Amy again.

"Amy are you still thirsty." the Pink hedgehog opened her mouth to speak and caught Sonics' eye. He was giving her a murderous look. Closing her mouth she shook her head softly.

With a nod to himself, Sonic finished the last of the water. "Alright, c'mon. There has got to be people on this hunk of rock."

=====================(Sonic is an ass)=================

Sonic had been in the lead all day. He set the pace for the rest to follow. Knuckles next carrying Tails on his back. Rouge came after, keeping in step with Knuckles to keep an eye on Tails. Amy came in last. Her whole body protested any form of movement but she kept on going.

She lagged behind several lengths and clutched her chest every time Rouge wasn't looking back. The girl ignored the burning need for water and rest as she tried to keep up with Sonics pace. Fear laced through her every time he looked back at her.

She glanced up for a moment and looked into the surrounding trees. It was more of a tropical island and it had started getting hotter as they progressed through the day.

Amy gave a sigh as she stopped for a moment to look at a batch of wildflowers. She was a true girl, the different colors and such brought a smile to her face. Brushing one hand against a blossom she let her hand reach farther into the bush. Touching something cold and hard she moved the flowers aside.

Her hand rested on a floating skull. She let out a terrified yelp and jumped back, eyes wide. At once the group turned back to her. "T-There's a-a-a-.." looking back to the bush the skull was gone. "A-bug?" she filled in walking forward. Sonic rolled his eyes.

"Leave it to you Ames. Tails is struggling to survive and you want to admire the flowers." the blue hedgehog turned and continued onward.

Amy struggled to catch up. Finally she glanced back to see the small skull sticking out from the bush and staring at her. It seemed to want to draw her to it. A shiver ran down her spine as she looked forward again.

The feeling of being watched plagued her though out the day. Either she was ignoring the pain or her body had gone numb. Each time she looked back, the skull seemed to get closer and closer.

Finally the sun began to set and Sonic said it was alright to stop. The group was now convinced that Amy was alright, she hadn't asked to stop all day. In truth the teen was just short of collapsing. She wished she could just go to sleep but Knuckles asked her to go get some water from the stream they had passed.

Gathering the coconut shells she headed back through the darkening woods. The trickle of water grew louder as she neared the stream. Finally she reached it. It was more like a creek actually. Walking to the water, Amy dipped the shells in quickly. 'This would be perfect for a bath!' she thought happily as she rushed back to the camp.

Giving up the water she turned back to the woods. "I'm going to go wash up in the creek. Don't wait up for me!" she called.

As she reached the creek again she stared around the area before stripping down and jumping into the water. The cool rushing of the water surrounded her as she sunk down to her neck. Reaching to the shore Amy pulled her closed into the water. Blood stained the front of the dress and is was ripped in several places.

With a sigh she dunked all her garments into the water and scrubbed them clean. After she lay them out on a rock on shore. Sinking gratefully into the water she gently began to rub the blood and dirt from her body. Finally she dunked her head under the water and began to clean off her head and hair.

When she surfaced again in took a moment to clear the water from her eyes. As she started back to shore she saw movement. Her old Amy Rose attitude began to kick back in for a moment and she called out. "Hey! Who's there?!" suddenly she froze as the small floating skull stared out at her. Suddenly it jumped into the water and began to swim to her easily.

Fear shot through her and movement failed her as it got closer and closer. Finally it reached her and floated in front of her. Something in Amy's mind clicked and a smile broke out onto her face. "You're a Chao!!" she cried lifting the creatures small body to herself. Now in the light its features were visible.

The body was jet black. A streak of red across his neck. His arms and feet were both striped with red and he wore a skull on his head. The Chao made a soft cooing noise and rubbed against Amy's hug.

A form watched from the shadows, his eyes wide with shock. A soft smirk rose to his face as he sat in the tree, keeping watch.
