CHAPTER 3

AMY POV

I took a short cut to the park, where Tails, Cream, Shadow, and Sonic should've been. Suddenly, I hear a rustling noise coming from a large bush next to me. I begin inching towards it.

"Hello? Tails? Cream? Guys? Is that you?" I ask nervously, reaching down towards the bush. I hear a low, throaty growl and the next thing I know, a dog jumps out infront of me. I stumble back, startled, and bump into something- or someone, hard. I spin around, Piko Piko Hammer in hand and ready.

"Shit, Amy, you scared me." Knuckles growls in anger, then adds, "Now get that outta my face." he pushes my Piko Piko Hammer down.

"Oh Knuckles! I'm so glad it's you. Do you have any idea of what's going on?" I ask him.

"Haven't you seen the news?" Knuckles responds with another question.

"Well, yeah. Something Eggman did, an experiment, went wrong." I say, a little confused.

"That's what cause all of these creatures! His experiment." Knuckles says.

"What creatures...?" I ask slowly

"The ones that have been walking around biting everyone. How do you miss that?" He says, cocking an eyebrow.

"I haven't seen anything of the sort! I just came here looking for Sonic and Shadow. I took the short cut from my house." I say, a little agitated and totally confused.

"Well, I'll help you find them. It's not safe out here for a girl alone." he said, sounding brotherly. Ever since I've grown up, Knuckles has treated me like his little sister, and I view him as my older brother.

After walking around the park for a while and searching, I see something in the distance, walking infront of us in a slow, limping pace.

"Knuckles, look! He looks hurt, we should go help him." I say, starting to run towards the man.

"No, Amy. Stop!" I hear Knuckles' worried voice yell from behind me. But it's already too late. I am a couple steps away from the limping man.

"Are you okay, Sir?" I ask the man, worried.

The man turned around slowly. His face was all cut up, blood driping from his mouth. and his eyes looked like they were glazed over, like he had no thoughts.

He growled, which startled me. I stumbled backwards and fell. He lunged towards me as I closed my eyes for the impact...

But nothing came. I open my eyes and see that thing laying on the floor next to me. I look up to see Knuckles holding a bloody metal bat above my head.

"Are you okay, Amy?" Knuckles asked, his voice sincere.

I stand up and hug Knuckles, crying my eyes out.

"Oh Knuckles, I was so scared!" I yell, stuttering from my tears.

Knuckles takes me to a park bench and we sit about five minutes untill I've calmed down.

"So what're we going to do now?" I ask, only sobbing a little now.

"Well, now we are waiting for our ride." Knuckles grins.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

HONK, HONK.

I turn my head to see Rouge the Bat in a black Convertable Mustang GT.

"Hey, Darling, I hope you weren't doing anything with my Knuckles." Rouge laughs, winking.

"Rouge, that's gross." I whine.

"Oh, so now I'm gross." Knuckles laughes, letting go of me and standing up. He starts walking to the car.

"No I didn't mean it like that." I giggle, getting up and following him.
