Nightmares Can Come True

(Amy's POV)

Later that night, Sonic and I got ready for bed. We were exhausted; shopping for a crib, a stroller, some baby clothes, bottles, and pacifiers. We even painted the nursery room in baby pink and lavender vertical stripes. Tails helped Sonic with the crib and Cream and I did the decorations. It was fun, though tiring.

I changed into my silk ivory nightgown and got in bed. "Goodnight," I whispered to my baby bump. Right away, I dozed off, not noticing that Sonic climbed into bed next to me.

I've been having strange dreams throughout that night. Even though I believed that I'll never think about those ugly moments with Scourge, my abusive ex-boyfriend, I had a nightmare about him.

It was pure dark; I couldn't feel my body at all. I can't move my arms or legs. I opened my eyes and there's nothing but darkness and candlelight. I looked to see that I was lying on a bed and my wrists and ankles were shackled to the wooden corners. What the hell's going on? I struggled to get free, but it was no use.

Suddenly, there was a chuckle I heard, sounds very sadistic. I looked around.

"Hello?" I called, "who's there?"

No respond. The room looked empty. I closed my eyes for one second and when I opened them, HE appeared… right in front of me. I screamed in horror. It was Scourge. He was wearing a white dress shirt that only the top half was unbuttoned, revealing his bold chest, and a pair of black pants. He just stood in front of the bed, smirking at me.

"Looks like I got my rose back," he said maliciously.

"Where am I? Why did you take me here?!" I yelled out.

Scourge slowly walked to the left side of the bed and touched my enlarged stomach. "I realized you got knocked up… and I know for sure that baby ain't mine!"

I gasped. "Then why did you cuff me up? What are you going to do with me?" I was about to cry, but I fought back a bit.

He smacked me in the face, "Shut up!" Scourge snarled, "You fucking crybaby." He grabbed my chin, forced my mouth open, and he let his tongue enter. He was… tongue-kissing me. I tried to fight back, but I couldn't; Scourge slowly got on top of me, with his legs over my waist, and his hands held both sides of my face. The taste of his mouth, it was disgusting; that familiar taste of tobacco that I hated so much. I want to push him off but it was hard for me to do so since I'm shackled; instead, I bit his tongue. Scourge got up and screamed in pain with his hand to his mouth. He retaliated by slapping my face again.

"Bitch!" he snarled once again. "I brought you here because I'm getting rid of that thing!" Scourge pointed to my pregnant stomach. "And afterwards, you'll be pregnant with MY baby!" he grinned.

I was shocked by his plan. "No, you can't do that!" I cried.

"Yes, I can. And there's nothing you can do about it."

"My friends and Sonic," I said, coldly, "they'll come and save me, I know for sure."

"I don't think so," Scourge clapped his hands twice and the lights turned on. Behind him: the team. I gasped again with more horror. They're all… dead. Cream, Tails, Blaze, Rouge, Shadow, Silver, Knuckles, and Tikal; they're all completely lifeless on the floor and covered in blood. I noticed that their throats are all slit and they got stabbed in the abdomen and hearts.

"NO!" I screamed in tears, "what the fuck have you done with them?!"

"That's none of your business, whore!" Scourge replied in anger.

"What about Sonic? What have you done with him?"

"Look to your right," he demanded and I did. This time, I'm even more distressed. Sonic, too, was dead. He was all covered in blood like the others, but his wounds are even worse and more grotesque. Stabs wounds are all over his body, but I can't explain the rest.

"SONIC!" I hysterically screamed and cried. "You killed them! You fucking killed them!"

"Exactly," Scourge said, "that way, no one will ever save you from our love again."

"You and I will never be together, EVER!" I growled.

"That, I will make sure of. By the way," he took out a large blade from his back pocket and it's all covered in blood, "this is what I used on your so-called friends and that blue bastard who I assumed knocked you up. If you refuse to obey me," he took it to my neck, "I'll use it on you too!"

I gulped. Losing my baby or being with this green sadistic asshole if I don't want to die, I really had no option. I reluctantly agreed. Scourge took the knife away from my neck and grinned.

"Good girl, now let's get this shit started." Right away, he ripped up my nightgown with his blade in a forceful way and tore off my underwear; I was naked in front of him. He dropped his knife and aggressively grabbed my stomach. My blood-curdling scream remained persistent. He squeezed me so hard, his sharp claws dug into the skin; all I can see is blood pouring everywhere and all I can hear is Scourge's maniacal laugh echoing. Soon everything went black… and I can hear my baby cry.

Somewhere around 3:00 am, I woke up frantic. I quickly sat up from my bed and looked around for some signs. I was gasping heavily. Everything seems clear. I looked to the side and I see Sonic sleeping peacefully beside me. If he's still alive, then everybody else is as well. I looked underneath the covers and down at my stomach. She's ok, too. I was relieved that this is all a dream. I lay back down; however, I'm deeply traumatized by my vision. What if it gets real? I stared at the wall, praying for not letting this nightmare come true. Then, I went back to sleep.

The next morning, I walked down to the kitchen in my white robe and I see Sonic cooking up some eggs for breakfast. I inhaled the aroma, it smelled so good.

"Hey, babe," my love said, "sleep well?"

"Not so good," I honestly answered.

"Why? What's wrong?" he gave a melancholy look.

I sat down on the table and I summarized my nightmare to him while he finished up his last touches on the eggs, set them on the two plates, and served them. He sat down next to me.

"That's terrible," Sonic responded; he understood my biggest fear: losing my baby and getting attacked by Scourge.

"I know," I sniffed.

"Don't worry, Ames," he had his hand rubbing up and down on my back, "I promise, I'll never let anything like that happen to you. I'll do anything to defend you and our baby." He kissed my cheek.

"Thanks." Just when we were about to eat our eggs, Sonic's cell phone rang. He excused me, picked it up, and went to another room.

"Hey, Silver…" I heard him. I felt Lavender kicking as I eat my eggs; probably means she likes it.

"What? Are you serious…?" he sounded concerned. "Ok, I'll let her know, thanks…" Let me know for what? One minute later, Sonic returned; he set his phone down on the table and he looked very serious.

"Bad news, Ames," he said, "that was Silver. He called to notify me that Sally bailed Scourge out of jail."

My eyes widen in fear. Oh no…
