Chapter 7: the date with an angel
Later on that day, Emmie ran out her home and went looking for Maurice. She saw feather fall from the sky, she chased the figure through the forest until she reach the cliff. She was so relieved when she was able to stop in the nick of time. She sat down gently on the edge, looking over the ledge to see if she could see her mysterious figure. She heard something land behind her. She turned around to see the evil smile of Zonic. She tried running be she was cornered. She jumped off the ledge trying to escape Zonic's plan. But she failed, Zonic's vine wrapped around her neck, waist, ankles and arms.
"Why are you only interested in good? Don't realize what you can get with evil on your side," stated Zonic.
"Why are you working with Robotnik, when you were apart of Sonic, he was your enemy," inquired Emmie as vines tighten around her. She began screaming at the top of her lungs. In the same tree that he fell asleep in, he heard her earsplitting screams from miles away. He raced towards the source of the sound.
When Maurice reaches the source of the sound, he was shocked that a bunch of vines roped Emmie. She was fought against the strength of the vines. The vines wrapped around Emmie. Within the vines, Emmie struggled to free herself. She wished that Maurice was there with her.
Meanwhile outside the vines, Maurice tries to fly to Emmie's side, but Zonic stood between Maurice and his girl. He was concern about Emmie's safety and he did not care about Zonic's presence. He just kicks Zonic up side his head and flew to the vine ball that was forming in the canyon. He tried pull the vines away from Emmie but the vines were to tightly wrap around her body. He pulled out his angelic sword and start cutting away from. Once he reached Emmie's body, he search her faced was turning purple. He intensified his hacking into the vine ball. Once he freed the unconscious Emmie, he flew a safe distance a way from Zonic.
Hours later, Emmie slowly started coming to. She looked around at her and just saw a shadow. She walked toward the shadow. The closer she got the more the shadow backed away from her.
"Do you like me?" asked the shadow
" Of Course I like you…. Maurice," answered Emmie as she was giggling, " I wanted to ask did you save me?".
" Yes. Emmie, can I ask you a question?" asked Maurice.
" You just did," giggled Emmie
" Yeah," Maurice started rubbing the back of his neck, "Emmie, if you aren't doing thing tonight, would you like to go on a date …with me that is?".
Emmie looked at down at the ground and began playing with her hair. Maurice began walking away with this hurt expression. " Wait! I didn't say no. I would love to go with you".
Maurice was so happy that he picked Emmie up and carried her to a romantic picnic in the middle of a meadow. Under the moonlight, the couple sat ate the delicious meal that Maurice had prepared for this date. Emmie and Maurice were both eating some Nerds rope when the candy pulls them together. For moment, the two hedgehogs were too into the moment. Then Maurice pulls away from Emmie.
"Maurice, what is wrong?" asked Emmie.
"I just wanted our first kiss to magical not an ancient," replied Maurice as he walked closer to Emmie. Before Emmie could answer, Zonic attacked Maurice. The two halves of Sonic rolled around on the ground until they rolled into the lake. The lake was very deep and the home of several demons and monsters.
