Ch 6: Merciless and Confused

Eggman hastily got out a vile of clear glowing liquid and injected it into an angry Sonic's arm.

"Hurry up you fool" Sonic spat. Sweat dripped down his back. He had never been so nervous. He could feel the liquid seeping through his veins like poison. And then he fell into a deep sleep.

"Sonic, we did it!" Signo yelled happily. She hugged Sonic then looked at him. They were staring at each other for a moment, into each others eyes but then Signo broke their line of vision and began to scratch the back of her neck, it was what she always id when she was nervous. But only when she was REALLY nervous and that hardly ever happened. "So where do we go now?" she laughed nervously, looking at the door "We're stuck in here"

"Yeah" Sonic sighed "Well, at least I'm stuck in here with you"

"What do you mean?" Signo asked, suddenly trying to catch his eye again.

"This is what I mean," he said. Then he pulled her towards him and kissed her lightly on the lips. They both scanned each other's faces and then Sonic pulled her close again. But this time, Signo did not want to break it up. They were holding each other, holding each other like they were more than just best friends.

Sonic's voice was heard. It was his memory, so he obviously thinking things and not saying them out loud. 'Ooh! She aint half a good kisser! Where did she learn that? Hey wait a minute, there's something wrong with her!'

Sonic broke the kiss and he and Signo both looked down to Signo's waist. She had a large gash on the side of her body and blood was protruding from it thick and fast. She sighed heavily and Sonic saw her eyes turn bloodshot and could feel her falling through his arms as she was about to loose consciousness. Sonic grabbed her and was about to try and get her out of the room and to safety, but she grabbed his arm.

"No" she whispered feebly "I don't care about that not now. I just want to kiss you" and she pressed his lips against his and they kissed again. She didn't seem to care if she was dying or not, all she wanted to do was hold and love Sonic.

'No Sonic, stop her' his conscience told him 'It doesn't matter how much she's enjoying it, it doesn't matter how much YOU'RE enjoying it! If you liked her that much you would get her out of here and fast so she can get better and then you can do all the snogging you like! Just imagine, if she's this good now when she's got a bloody huge gash in her side then think how good she'll be when she's in her usual state!'

"Signo no" Sonic pleaded "I have to get you out of here, I have to make sure you're safe, I love you Signo and I don't want to lose you!"

"You, you, you l-l-love me?" Signo stammered, amazed at what she was hearing.

'No going back now mate, she knows and there's nothing you can do about it. Except pray she feels the same' his conscience told him. As if on cue, Signo spoke.

"I love you too Sonic, I love you with all my heart. And now I know that that's how I feel. I could never work it out before, I just found myself staring at you and dreaming about you. My heart leapt at the sound of you're voice, and it killed me that I couldn't tell you, in fear of you pushing me away. But now I know you won't Sonic, and I want to be with you forever, because I will always love you."

"I love you too Signo and I want to protect you, I don't want anyone to hurt you ever ever again. I won't let them take you from me" Sonic told her, as she put her head on his chest and listened to the soft beating of his heart. He stroked her quills, then picked her up and turned.

"Well, well, well!" Eggman cackled hovering above them "Isn't this sweet! I always knew that I should have held her captive instead of that annoying Rose hedgehog, but I thought she would be too much trouble. But it would be awful if something were to happen to her now!"

"Leave her alone!" Sonic yelled, "She's hurt already, now move out of my way!"

"Stay away from me you freak!" She whispered hoarsely. "Don't touch my Sonic!"

'Did she just call me HER Sonic? Hey that's weird. She must be telling the truth about loving me!' Sonic's voice said loudly in his head.

A giant claw came from behind and grabbed Sonic. Signo fell helplessly to the floor.

"SONIC!" she screamed, scrabbling at the air to try and grab Sonic's foot.

"Let go of me!" Sonic said, trying to escape. It was no use. Another item flew over and landed on his head. He watched as Signo lay on the floor, going paler and paler; as blood flowed continuously from her thighs. "SIGNO! RUN, RUN NOW! GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW! YOU HAVE TO GO OR YOU'LL DIE! DON'T DO THIS TO ME SIGNO! I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH TO LET YOU DIE! REMEMBER I LOVE YOU!" Sonic shouted as the item on his head began to buzz. He watched, as Signo lay motionless. Sonic watched, mortified, as her last words escaped from her lips.

"I love you too Sonic" she whispered, then her head fell to one side and she toppled and hit the ground.

'NO please no' he begged 'she can't be dead, she can't be!' but then everything blacked out, as the item on his head sent a shock through his body and he was no longer conscious.

A/N: please please please review! I need some help about thinking what Sonic does when he wakes up out of his memory if you know what I mean. Ideas please! Love ya!
