Chapter 5 Discovery and Torture
Sonic yawned and stretched. He had had a good rest and now felt ready for the day. His symbol spun and pulsed white a little faster as his heart sped up.
He shook his head making his quils rattle and headed into the dining room. "Well good morning mister snickerdoodle" Naela greeted Sonic laughed "was i doing it again" Naela knodded "I told them not to wake you up" Sonic looked around but know one else was there.
"Where's Knuckles Sonic asked. Naela's smile dropped "He's outside with the others i was coming in to check on you" Sonic knodded and walked past her to the porch.
Tails, Amy, Shadow Silver Blaze and Remona were there sitting around Knuckles, he looked really depressed and his eyes were red like he'd been crying. "Sonic!" Tails said happily making the others look, but Knuckles.
"well you look rested" Blaze said "Thats a nice tattoo as well Sonic who did it it looks like its really moving." Remona said staring at the spinning and pulsing flower on sonic's bell. Sonic chuckled "Thats because it is moving Remona" he said.
Remona got closer and her eyes widned in amazement as she watched the flower spin and glow white. "Where did you get that"Before he could be bumbarded with more questions, Knuckles got up and stood right in front of Sonic.
"Sonic how long has Tikal been dead?" Sonic bit his lip and looked down "I don't know" He replied "I don't even know when or how she died but she gave me the letter to give to you sorry Knux" Sonic said.
"well can you tell me how you GOT the letter" Knuckles asked Sonic gulped and the flower's glow started to quicken with his heart, Knuckles was getting angry he hoped he wouldn't attack him.
Sonic looked at him nervously "It's a little complicated to explain Knux why don't you sit down and-" Sonic was cut off as Knuckles grabbed him by the throat and pinned him on the ground. "I'm not siiting down your gonna tell me what happened or so help me i'll break your neck, now spill it Sonic!" Knuckles yelled angrily.
Sonic struggled to breath under Knuckles strong choke hold, he weakly clawed at Knuckles hands trying to pry them off,but Knuckles only tightned his grip. "Knuckles stop!" Tails said pulling him by his back, but the red echidna wouldn't budge. Shadow leaped up and tried to pull him and Tails, but Knuckles only shoved them off.
Out of fear and desperation Sonic bit down hard on Knuckles hand which had been dangerously close to his mouth, his small fangs puntured his glove and dug into flesh. Knuckles only winced in pain and refused to let. Suddenly a giant hammer came from the side and wacked the Red echidna right in the face.
He flew off Sonic and crashed into the porch gate cracking the bars. "You better get your self together Knuckles, its not sonic's falt that Tikals gone" Amy said kneeling beside Sonic and poofing her hammer away, "You alright Sonic" Amy asked Sonic rubbed his throat and winced in pain as he took deep breaths.
The symbol started to slow down as well. "Yeah" Sonic croaked getting up Knuckles was had also sat up and was glaring at him as he held his badly bleeding hand where Sonic had bitten him. "I think im going to head off to the cafe for a late ill see you guys later" sonic said stepping down the porch stairs "I'll come with you Sonic" Amy said quickly walking to catch up with him as he turned and headed around the house.
Knuckles got up still fuming and limped into the house with Shadow, Tails, Blaze,Silver and Remona behind him.
"You know Sonic you look really nice with that flower on you" Amy said Sonic smirked "Oh really" "Yes" Amy said looking down at the pulsing flower again "You know Knuckles didn't mean to hurt you Sonic" Amy said Sonic sighed "I know and i didn't mean to bite him but any longer and he would've killed me" Sonic said sadly
"Well when we get back i'll make sure i'll hold him down next time while you explain" Amy said with an evil smile on her face Sonic smiled,but then it disappeared and was replaced with a sad look. "Sonic you okay" Amy asked "did i say something wrong" Sonic smirked "No nothings wrong it's just you remind me a lot about my mom if you ever wonder why i call you Ames for short" Sonic said looking up as they exited the forest and headed down the sidewalk.
"Oh, do you miss her Sonic?" Amy asked now curious "yeah but its easy to deal with since i saw her again last night." Sonic said "really you saw her, how?" Amy asked. Sonic explained how he had gotten lost in the forest and saw his mom's spirit, he also told her how he saw Tikal but he left the guardian and orb part out.
"Wow i wish i could have met her" Amy said as they entered Leonardo's Cafe another favorite place Sonic liked to hang out in. Sonic and Amy sat at the bar table "hey Sonic" Leonardo said happily he was a young cheetah with a white muzzle and black whisKers. "what will it be today"
"uhh i'll take the chaos berry late with extra cream" Sonic said "alright and what about your girl friend here" Leonardo asked pointing his pencil at Amy "uhh i'm not hi-" "she'll have a peach late with a lemon cake" Sonic butted in he already knew what Amy liked. Amy looked at Sonic seeing his face and ears turn a slight red and his flower quicken its spinning and pulsing.
Amy couldn't help but blush herself. "alright it will be here in a few minutes just make yourselves comfortable" Leonardo said as he headed off into the kitchen to place the orders. Sonic tapped his finger on the desk his now short claw making a light clicking noise.
Amy just sat and waved her legs around under the bar counter once in a while lightly kicking the wood. There was a quiet dinging sound as the door swung open and another customer walked in. Sonic stopped his tapping as a scent filled his nose getting stronger as it got closer. Sonic growled in annoyance, Amy turned around confused and was then filled with anger herself.
Scourge had just walked in with his gang and he had just spotted something blue and pink sitting at the bar. Scourge smirked and headed towards them as Amy quickly turned her head. She looked over to the side and saw Sonic clenching his fist.
"Well, well, well what brings you here blue" Scourge asked tapping Sonic on the shoulder, which he only shoved away with a snarl. "Hey if your gonna start causing trouble i'm going to have to ask you to leave" Leonardo said as he walked in sensing that something was wrong.
"Hey no problem we're just here as paying custumers" Scourge mused smiling. Leonardo gave them a quizzical look then disappeared back into the kitchen hearing something clanging and clattering. "So what you've been up to babe" Scourge asked leaning on his elbow next to Sonic.
"Nothing much just avoiding you and trying to get a late" Sonic said sarcastically as he scooted away more towards Amy. "Oh come on babe don't start getting distant" Scourge pretend pleaded as Leonardo brought Sonic and Amy's order. Sonic held his late as he let it cool down a little to ticked of to drink right now.
Scourge had turned to his friends Blade and Scratch and tried to get Sonic's attention from a different approach. "Hey did you here about the Hedghog that died in the hospital" Scourge said seeing Sonic's ear flick at the said hedghog and hospital "yeah what a bummer" Blade replied the red bird giving a thumbs down "I herd that she was so descusting that she died from a ravage infection." Scratch commented with an evil smile.
Sonic clenched his hand, claws digging into the polished wood as he clenched his teeth in anger. His symbol started to spin faster and pulse brighter as he got angrier. "easy Sonic" Amy whispered Sonic flicked his eyes towards her and knodded his head quickly gulping down his late. Amy had also just finished.
"Yeah ha ha" Scourge laughed "She was a pink hedgehog with blue stripes right" Scourge asked "Yeah" Blade knodded and leaned against a wall flipping a coin "Should've been cleaner dumb animal" Scratch said. Sonic snarled as he crushed the fancy tin late cup in one hand and faced Scourge who was quite surprised at this action.
Sonic's eyes flashed a deep blood red as his fangs started to grow "Don't talk that way about my mom" Sonic snapped Scourge and Scratch backed off, but of course their friend Blade didn't get the hint. "Oh she was your mom well that makes it ten times worse" Blade said with an evil grin.
Sonic snapped. He flashed white and changed form in mid air as he tackled the red bird biting and scratching clawing punching and kicking. Blade sqawked in fear and tried to run but Sonic only grabbed him by his tails feathers and slammed him into the ground with such force that it knocked the wind out of Blade.
Again Sonic lifted Blade, but this time through him right out the door just as a customer was leaving. Perfect timing am i right. Balde hit his back on a street lamp pole bending it as Sonic prowled out snarling. It scared the hell out of Blade, he tried to get up and run,but was only sat back down wincing from inevitably broken ribs.
He looked up to see Sonic growling at him his eyes like fire. Sonic picked him by the collar of his leather jacket and raised him up making his feet leave the ground "Don't EVER talk about my mom or it will be much worse then broken ribs" Sonic snarled. Blade gulbed and knodded his head as Sonic dropped him.
Leaving the bird outside Sonic went back in and sat down growling at Scourge as he past. "Sorry Leonardo, i'll pay for cup" Sonic said "No no it's fine these things are cheap anyway" Leonardo said inspecting the crushed cup. "thats some form you have there buddy" Sonic looked at himself holding out his hands revealing large black claws peaking from his gloves.
"How about another round for you and the lady on the house?" Leonardo asked Sonic smiled and knodded his head "But how about to go this time" Sonic asked "Sure thing" Leonardo said as he walked into the kitchen calling for another round.
"Sonic are you alright" Amy asked "yeah sorry for scaring you Ame- Amy" Sonic said turning away Amy frowned a little and felt bad that Sonic had stuttered and refused to call her by nickname.
As the two left with their second lates, a hand held Sonic back. "Hey Blue where did all that power come from huh" Scourge asked a weird look in his eye "Why do you care" Sonic spat and shoved his hand off to catch up with Amy. Scourge glared after him.
Sonic and Amy soon made it home as their friends greeted them. Sonic however wasn't in the mood as he quickly explained what happened in the cafe and retold what he said to Amy and headed up into his room.
As he closed the door Sonic immediatly sagged against it his body tired and head ringing. It felt like thousands of needles were being forced through Sonic's skin while he drowned. It was torture. Slowly getting up Sonic made his way to his bed and flopped down on top curling himself into a tight ball.
As he looked around the room while his pain subsided he noticed something brown on one of his perching selves. Ignoring the tingling sensation Sonic got up hopped onto the shelf with a single leap and took it down. The package was abouth the size of some kind of instrument amd resembled that of a small guitar.
Sonic turned it around and looked for some kind of tag, but there was none. Sonic siged and set it on his bed, grabbing a pillow Sonic hopped back onto the shelf and curled up again his longer tail having to wrap around him twice.
