Okay, chapter three! . I know some of you don't like the whole Shadow being evil, but I have plans for this story. And that's how Shadow is, sorta. Well, I might make him nicer later on if you really want me to. I kinda make it up as I go, too. You know, I know the middle and everything, just not how to make it turn out that way. I hate writer's block! I was re-reading my story a little bit ago, and it is actually pretty good, well in my opinion it is. I don't own any Sonic characters or anything blah blah blah.

CHAP 3:

After Shadow was satisfied with what he did, he picked Amy up and ran all the way to her house. It was pretty early in the morning, about 4:00 in the morning. Amy was still unconscious and bruised and bleeding all over. She had a broken right arm, broken left leg, and a bad head wound. When Shadow reached her doorstep, he opened the door and just set her down right behind her door on the cold tiles, and left with bloodstained chest, arms and gloves.

It was about 3:00 in the afternoon when Cream had called for the fifth time. Amy was still knocked out, of course. So Cream came over and turned the doorknob slowly not sure if Amy was even home. Cream tried to push the door open, but couldn't.

"Amy! Open the door!"

No answer. Cream managed to open the door a crack and saw Amy's bruised face. She let out a terrible scream and was panicking.

"What to do, what to do?"

Her scream attracted the savior of Station Square, Sonic the hedgehog.

"Dang, Cream. What happened?"

Cream pointed a shaky finger at Amy. Sonic looked and went wide-eyed.

"OH MY GOD!"

Sonic gently pushed Amy's body with the door until he could fit through a crack, and Cream watched, horrified. Sonic slipped through the crack and hopped over Amy. She was just lying on the ground lifeless, in a small pool of her own blood. Sonic felt tears welling up inside him.

"A-Amy, who would've done this to you…" He whispered, and he kneeled down beside Amy's lifeless body.

Cream had just slipped in after calming down, while Sonic tried to touch Amy's right arm, which looked different to him somehow, like it was swollen or something. When he barely even brushed his fingers on her arm, Amy jolted and arched her back up. Cream and Sonic both jumped by the sudden reaction.

"Cream, she has a broken arm. She would only react like that if it were broken. Let's see if anything else is broken…" He searched her body and lifted her pants legs. He spotted the same thing on her left leg. "She also has a broken leg. Oh god…"

"Oh my…" Cream said.

Sonic picked her up very carefully. Amy was heavier because she was drenched in blood. He was very careful not to touch her broken limbs while he carried her to her bedroom.

"Cream, can you get her robe or something? And can you change her out of these clothes? I would, but, you know…" He started to blush.

"Okay…"

Sonic laid Amy on the ground and left the room for Cream to clean her up and change her. It took a while considering Amy was unconscious.

"Okay Sonic, you could come in now!" Cream yelled from inside Amy's room. Ever since the door had closed, Sonic was pacing back and forth frantically.

Sonic came in quietly, for fear of waking up Amy. He picked Amy up off the ground and set her down as gently as he could on her comfy bed.

"She's still asleep?" Sonic asked.

"Yes. And she's hardly breathing. We have to get her to a hospital."

"We can't Cream! They would blame us for all of it. We'd be able to handle a doctor much easier. We have to call a doctor."

Sonic went into the living room to look for the phone. While he was looking, he found a picture of Amy squeezing him as hard as she can. He picked up the frame and looked at it closer. Amy looked so happy, but Sonic's own expression was hatred. He frowned as he saw that. He should have been nicer to her. Then he remembered Amy's wounds.

"Oh! Where's the phone…" He set the frame down and finally found the phone on the couch. Sonic also found a phone book and looked up a local doctor that came to houses when people were sick. He dialed the number and talked to the doctor.

Cream was watching Amy and felt that this whole thing was her fault. She knew she should have stayed the night. Cream thought that if she had stayed, maybe who ever did this to Amy wouldn't have done this. Or what if Amy did this to herself…

Cream came back down to earth as Sonic walked in.

"The doctor will be here in about 20 minutes." He said.

Cream just nodded her head.

"I told him about Amy's wounds; he said he'll bring an x-ray."

She nodded her head again.

"Is something wrong, Cream?"

"…Yeah, something's bugging me."

"What is?"

"I think I could have prevented this from happening to Amy."

"Go on."

"She told me that I should not spend the night here, so I left. I think if I stayed, the person who did this wouldn't have been able to."

"Cream… it is NOT your fault. It's not like you told that person to come here."

"I know…"

They stopped talking when they heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it, okay Cream?"

"Yeah, sure…"

"Cheer up! It's not your fault."

Sonic left the room and went to the front door. Cream didn't want to tell Sonic how horrible Amy felt last night, or her suspicion of Amy doing it to herself.

"OH GREAT! I forgot to clean up the blood!" Sonic yelled quietly.

The doorbell rang again and Sonic quickly found a towel in Amy's hall closet. He draped it over the tiles to cover up the blood. The towel was already soaking up blood when Sonic leaned over as far as he can to reach the door.

"Hi, come in. But watch your step. I-I spilled punch!"

The doctor was a short, bald man in a brown suit. He was old and a little overweight. He had a stethoscope around his neck and carried a briefcase at his side.

The doctor looked at Sonic confused and stepped over the 'punch'. He had forgotten to mention his name because he was a little freaked out at the sight of blood on the tiles. He wasn't dumb. They went through the hallway and into the room with Cream and Amy. Before the doctor looked at Amy, his eye was caught by the mess of bloody clothes to the side. He looked completely freaked out and was about to run out of the house, but then he saw Amy.

"Oh my god!" The doctor yelled.

He ran over to the pink hedgehog and set his briefcase down. He reached for his stethoscope and put it under Amy's shirt. Sonic was about to jump the guy, but luckily, Cream managed to stop him with difficulty. For the rest of the time, Sonic eyed the doctor suspiciously, just in case.

"Her heart beat is very faint." The doctor said.

Sonic was twiddling his thumbs nervously. Cream just watched as her bottom lip quivered and she held on to Sonic's arm. The doctor reached for his briefcase and pulled out what seemed to be a camera. He took pictures of every section of Amy's battered body. Sonic's ear twitched, then his eye followed. Cream made sure to hold him as tight as possible so he wouldn't hurt the doctor. The pictures showed up on the camera's little screen, but as Amy's skeleton. Sonic's tension eased up a little bit. The doctor scrolled through the pictures.

"Her upper arm bone is snapped clean in half, but diagonally. This indicates her arm was twisted really hard until it broke. But to be so straight is un-natural. It was no ordinary person or animal that did this. Both of her lower leg bones are the same, but as if someone kicked her really hard."

He scrolled to another picture, and looked confused. He lifted Amy's head and looked at the back.

"She has a deep gash in the back of her head that reaches to her skull. Luckily, no brain damage, though. I'd also say that she will be out for about one or two more days. She went unconscious by blood loss and so much pain from being overly injured, I'd say. Now let's check her temperature."

He reached for his briefcase once again and pulled out a thermometer. He slithered it into Amy's mouth and made sure it was under her tongue. The three of them waited impatiently for the thermometer to beep. As soon as it beeped, the doctor grabbed it.

"She's at 103.9. It seems like she's getting hotter, too. Hmmm… it might be the bone marrow getting into her bloodstream. Yes, that's what it is. I'll bandage her up, but that's all I can do. No medication, whatsoever. It'll make her worse."

"Oh god…" Sonic said, silent tears coming down his cheeks. Cream was already sobbing and held on to Sonic tighter. Sonic used his other arm to wipe his tears a he watched the doctor bandage up Amy, then turned to comfort Cream. "It was a good half hour before he finished, due to Amy thrashing unconsciously.

"There I'm finished. Oh and one more thing always try to keep her as cold as possible." He packed up and gave the bill to Sonic. Sonic paid him extra.

"Keep the change." Sonic said.

And the doctor left.

Cream and Sonic were going to stay with Amy until she woke up. That night, Cream had to tell Sonic what Amy had told her the previous night.

"Umm…Sonic?"

"Yeah Cream?"

"I have to tell you something."

She told Sonic everything that Amy had told her. At the end, Sonic's expression was unable to read. He burst out crying after a moment or two.

"I LOVE AMY, TOO!"

He cried until about midnight when he finally got over what Cream had told him. They fell asleep in their chairs that night.

That's the end of chapter 3! Did you like it? You better, 'cause I worked all day on this!
