Disclaimer: As you you all probably know, I do not own any of the Sonic characters…I'll let Sega take the credit. Melody, however, is mine, and Lizzey is someone else's. How many times will I have to type this? Well, I guess it depends on how many chapters I have…

Melody cut her off, "Yes, I'm an angel, born and raised in the angel realm." She pulled off a dark, cotton cloak which was draped across her back and revealed two large, shining angel wings folded almost flat against her back.

Amy's bright green eyes filled with wonder as she stared at the wings for a few seconds, unable to speak.

Lizzey immediately began talking, "Coolio! So do you fly around and stuff and bless people! Or you more of the type that kills people off when they misbehave or do you just sit around doing nothing. I rather enjoy sitting around doing nothing. It makes my day a whole lot better!" Her voice was fast-paced.

Melody had an anime sweat drop on the back of her head as she answered, "Uh…out of all you said I only caught a few words here and there…"

Lizzey took a deep breath and repeated one of her questions, "So, um, what exactly do angels…you know…do!"

Melody laughed slightly to herself, "We do the same stuff other folks do…I mean like we're regular people…we just have wings…" Before Lizzey could ask anymore questions she said sternly, "But don't go thinking every angel you see is nice and kind and whatnot…corruption and evil have spread through our race rapidly and have blighted the lives of the innocent…"

Amy finally found her tongue, "So, this place is dangerous for you to return to?"

A wild glint appeared in Melody's eye, "Not really, I'm smarter than they think. If you're worried about me, don't be…I've lived this long on the run and getting right under their noses will be more than dangerous…it'll be fun!" She drew her sword and tossed it up in the air, catching it skillfully with her left hand.

Lizzey whispered into Amy's ear, "I still think we should put her in a straight jacket…"

Melody crossed her arms and glared at Lizzey, "I heard that!"

"Darn…" Lizzey muttered.

Melody decided to let it go and unfolded her wings, stretching her sore muscles blissfully. Ignoring Amy's amazed expression, she stated, "I can take you to the Angel Realm, your friend is there…unless your tracking device is messed up or something…" Melody paused, "But my magic isn't very strong right now…being on the run isn't good for me…"

"Magic?" Amy wondered, "So the myths are true…and I'm standing here…in front of a real live angel…"

"Hold onto my hands." Melody ordered, "I'm about to use a spell to take us to the Angel Realm…if you let go at any point of time, you'll end up somewhere totally different…heh…no pressure!"

Amy and Lizzey grasped her hands tightly, hearts racing as Melody mumbled something incoherent and bright light enveloped them. They felt a whooping sensation in their guts and everything became blurry. "Almost there…" Melody informed them.

A few seconds later, Amy felt her feet return to solid ground as her surroundings suddenly became sharp with detail. She, Lizzey, and Melody were standing in a back alley, surrounded by sky-high, dirty brown buildings. "Woah…" Amy gasped, leaning against the wall for support as the sight made her dizzy.

"My home…" Melody murmured quietly before losing consciousness and falling to the litter-covered ground.

"Melody!" Amy shouted with alarm, shaking her limp body, "Melody, speak to me! What's wrong!"

"She musta used too much magic, stupid…" Lizzey stated.

Amy's muscles tensed up as she heard voices approaching rapidly through the narrow alleyways. "We gotta get out of here!" She thought, biting her lip, "They don't sound friendly!"

Whew…wipes away sweat That was a bit of hard work. I'm kinda undergoing a bit of writers block right now…which isn't good…I have a bunch of reports and essays and stuff to write for English…grr…this makes me SOOO mad! Well…at least I sorta got through it with this chapter. Oh yeah, don't forget to R and R so I can know your opinions. One more thing, I might not be able to update as often for the next few weeks. My family is moving really soon and my brother is home from college and is sleeping in the computer room (Like ALL day long!) so things are hectic! Heh…that's life!
