The clock read a quarter after three. Cream came running into the living room where Tails and Cheese were playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. The fight appeared to be a stalemate so far as Tails and Cheese refused to give in. "Tails, Tails!" Cream shouted frantically. "What's the matter Cream?" Cream pointed down the hallway, her finger shaking, "I think there's a, there's a…monster in the closet." Tails put the game on pause and followed Cream down the hallway. Cheese eyed Tails' controller menacingly as he reached for the start button.
Cream stepped back as Tails opened the door cautiously. Cream immediately came out from hiding when they saw Amy on the floor, her face pale as if the life had been extracted from her by some unknown force. Amy just sat there face blank, eyes weary, pupils dilated, back against a shelf, her knees pointing up. She looked like a broken toy that hadn't seen the light of day for years. Cream whispered softly, "Amy? What are you doing in the closet?" Amy looked toward Cream, the same dull expression remained. "Oh, I was looking for some…tissues, and I accidentally locked myself in." Amy knew this was an obvious lie, but something kept her from admitting the truth. She was still in denial about what had just happened.
Sooo… where in the world did Sonic go?
Well, as he raced back toCream's house his eyes had a hint of excitement about them. Tails opened the door almost the second after Sonic raised his fist to knock. Tails looked at Sonic suspiciously, "Hey Sonic, did you say something to Amy?" Sonic shifted nervously, "Umm…no, why?" Tails replied, "Cause, I think she locked herself in the closet. Cream and Ilet her out, but she looked really upset about something." Sonic's fingers twitched and his eyes lowered to the ground, "Oh, no…I knew she'd be mad, but…" Sonic raised his head to speak, "Where is she?" Tails shrugged, "I don't know, after we opened the door she just kind of sat there, but the next time I went to check on her she was gone." It was then that Tails noticed Sonic was holding something behind his back. He was about to ask Sonic what it was when all of a sudden there were shrieks coming from the adjacent neighborhood. Tails and Sonic looked at each other and knew, "Eggman."
Sonic glanced behind him before taking off too find out what devious plot Eggman had in mind this time. "Amy…"
I know this chapter was kind of short, but the next one should be longer. Keep reading there's more on the way!
