I left when I was young, really young, but I guess for a genius I wasn't thinking like a six year old. My family fled from our home when we were born. Actually our parents were already running at that time. Our family is different; special. I didn't know the story behind my necklace. The reason I left was part of the legend of my necklace, but what I didn't know was that this was only the beginning.

Three years later

I was walking back home when I noticed the Swat-bots in front of my house. I ducked into the alley beside the house next door when I saw my adopted "sister" seeking out the window of our bedroom. As she passes the ally I grab her arm and put my hand over her mouth. She looks at me frightened but relaxes when she realizes it is me. I motion her to follow me. When we are a couple blocks away I ask "what's going on?"

"They were looking for me I think," Sonny says, upset.

I looked at her and that's when I realized "you were playing at the club weren't you?"

"How did you know that?"

I smirk at her and ask "who did you leave with," I knew both of them but I was curious as to how she knew them.

"Apparently my brothers," she answered me. I was shocked, but didn't let it show. "Where do you want to go now? This home's not safe anymore."

"I need to get to the city center. I have an explanation I need to get."

I nod and lead her to a way into the sewer. She looks at me shocked. I roll my eyes and open it and look at her.

"Through there?"

I nod "it's the safest way there."

I see her brace herself and slide into the sewer. Then I brace myself against the walls and close the sewer cover. I let myself drop to the bottom path. Then I led her to an alley way around center city. I climb the wall and push open the cover. I reach my hand down to Sonny and put her hand on the ledge. She grabs it. She pulls while I push her out then she pulls me out. She then asks "how did you," she stops.

"I lived down there for about a year when Lady Windermere found me," I answered knowing what she was trying to ask.

She nods, "the club, how did you know about that," Sonny questions me.

"Two years ago I was "adopted" by a resistance member," I state casually. Her eyes and mouth pop open.

"So your resistance?"

"Yep, since I was like six years old," I shocked her again, but said to her "I see they're waiting for you. I love you Sonia. You are the best sister a girl could ask for."

"I agree with you Amy and I love you too. I'll see you later bye Amy."

"Bye Sonny," I watched her leave and see the Oracle of Delphius. I'm confused about that. I see the three of them leave and I slip back into the sewer and head out of the city. Going to see my family after three years of training. Not expecting the shock of my parents' deaths. It seems they were murder by Robotnik or Butnick as I call him. I am resistance member Amy Rose. Code name Agent A. I continue out of the city through the sewers. Eventually I reached the end of the sewers. I climb out and head towards the woods a few miles from the city; it's night. Dawn is soon approaching. I need to find a place to rest while it's day. I keep walking the sky turning a misty grey when I find a trailer on the side of the road. I climb into it and pull my backpack off my back. Sigh I'm getting exhausted staying up all day and night. I am soooo tired. That's a definite problem. Part of why it's best to have a partner for long trips. I drink some water and steady my breathing. Then slowly control the energy used to breathe. It's almost like I'm not breathing at all. It's been like an hour since I stopped for the day. It's like seven in the morning. I eat breakfast then start the breath control over again. This time listening closely to my surroundings.

There's not a lot of noise. It's a barren wasteland here. Most people stay in the city because it's safer; less suspicious. That's why many rebel bases are located in the city's. What's that noise? I stand up and go to the window. I look out and duck down. It's around noon and there's a bot coming towards the trailer. I slow my breath again not wanting to get caught. Why does it look familiar? I listen, it's quiet again. I slowly look out the window and see nothing. My expression changes to one of relief as I sit back down. I pull out water and something to eat. I listen around me again as I eat and continue to control my breathing. Uncle Chuck! That's who the robot was; that's why I recognized it. He was one of the few adult figures in my life. Sooo... not really my uncle. Tears fell down my cheeks quietly. I don't know how long I sat there for, but when I finally got control of myself the sun was setting and it was almost time to go.

I quickly ate dinner and left the trailer. I continued walking and soon reached the meadow. I ran through it and into the woods. I continued running till I reached the hollow tree and climbed into it. I slid down and landed in a pile of hay. I smile; I'm home. I missed the woods; the non-metallic world. That's all I've seen for years. I hear people are just walking up. It's just after dawn. I've been up for about three days at this point (over 60 hours at least). I walk towards the village practically asleep. Stumbling towards my brother's and mine's hut when "ROSEY?!" I look around to see myself get tackled by a two-tailed fox. I hug him lightly about to pass out. "What's wrong," he asks me.

"Nothin' I've been up for like three days now," I say practically asleep. That's when I finally passed out.

—

I stayed with my aunt last night because yesterday was the day my sister disappeared. I miss her a bunch. It hasn't been the same without her. I see a figure stumbling out of the woods. I stare, no one is gone, most people are just waking up. The light shines on her face and I recognize her. "ROSEY," I scream at her running at her. I ended up tackling her which is weird because she is really strong. She hugs me crying. She looks like she is going to pass out. "What's wrong?"

"Nothin' I've been up for like three days now," she then passes out.

"Sally," I screamed, knowing I couldn't carry her to the Med Bay. She runs out of her hut towards me. She gasps and grabs her legs as I stand up. She wasn't the only one to come running. Bunnie, Ant, and Rotor met us halfway to the Med Bay. Bunnie walks up and grabs my sister (Bunnie is partially robotized). Ant held the door open as we went inside.

"What happened Tails," Aunt Sally asks.

"She was up for like three days. That's all she told me," I say and they nod at me and sit down. We watch her sleep. That's all we can do till she wakes up.

A day later...

"Tails I can watch her for now; you need to clean yourself up," my mind's still foggy but I think it's my Aunt Sally.

"No I can't. I have to be here when she wakes up," Tails says to our aunt. My mind is working faster now. I can think more clearly.

"Don't worry you are," I mumbled tiredly as I opened my eyes.

"Amy, are you alright," Aunt Sally asks.

"Yah, just tired," I answer, and Sal's right to get cleaned up. Sal, can I use your bathroom?"

"Course; let me help you there," my aunt says.

"I can..." I start.

"You passed out in the middle of the path," she interrupts me.

Sigh "Fine let's go," she helps me up and out of the Med Bay. People stare as she helps me down the path to her hut. Tails' waves as he heads into our hut.

"So why did you leave," Sally questions me.

"I felt that I had to go help people. I felt like I had to go. I had this feeling. I followed it. I learned loads though," I say looking at her.

"That's good. What did you learn?"

"More about tech, science, math, coding, tracking, blending in with crowds, moving unnoticed through the city, politics, government, acting, and lots of other things."

"How..."

"Not officially for most things. Mostly I kinda just picked up and practiced. Though I did spend a year and a half learning with a scientist from the Resistance and his son," we walked inside and I headed into the bathroom.

"I'll get you a towel and something to wear."

"O.k thanks Sal," I called as I turned on the water. I look at myself in the mirror before I check the water temp with my finger. I look tired, sweaty, and dirty. That's not surprising though. I step in and start to wash my hair. I tune out the world as I do. This is the point where I start to sing.

🎤I'm coming home🎤

I never hear Sal enter or exit but she does as I pour my heart into this song; as I watch the dirt, sweat, and grim swirl down the drain. I step out of the shower feeling more at peace than I have since I left. I noticed the towel and stuff that Sal left for me. I pick up the brush she left as well and start to comb my quills as I stare at my reflection and sing…

🎤 Look at me.I will never pass for a perfect bride. Or a perfect daughter 🎤

The melody finishes as I pull the comb one last time through my quills. I get dressed in the tank top and jacket Sal left for me as well as the cargo pants. I look at the mirror one last time, whipping the fog away to see me as I am. I know I let my family down but I knew I had to do what I did. I leave the bathroom and as I do through the window I hear the sound of the whispering winds. A sound that gives me strength and refreshes the spirit of my very soul.
