Chapter Five
Tails
The loud scream attracted me. Looking outside, I saw Amy in the hole. But she looked like she could barely keep her grip. Knuckles, please help her, I prayed. But then Knux just said, "Give me the emerald."
"Help me!"
"Give it to me!"
"HELP!"
I could stand it no longer. I dashed over and skidded under the echidna's legs. Grabbing Amy's hand, I pulled with all my might. Once the hedgehog was on solid ground again, I turned to confront Knuckles for his rude behavior, but he had disappeared. Strange.
Cream
I think Charmy's gone mad. He had me throw him on the island, and he never would have made it back holding the lifeless form of Espio had there not been a sudden spout of steam lifting him to the other side. Laying the chameleon on the ground, he asked nervously, "Is he… dead?" I was shocked. Charmy had never been known to cry. Softly I whispered, "I know how you feel."
"No, you don't."
"Charmy…" I was mad, but my mother told me to never take it on someone who was experiencing pain. "Yes, I do."
Sonic
I was shocked when Tails and Amy told me about Knuckles' behavior. I would talk to him, but for now, to be on the safe side, we should keep the Chaos Emerald in a different drawer every night. I was first. Little did I know that I would soon be the only one guarding it…
Tails
Clink! Clank! CLUNK! "Wha-" I had made a hole in the wall! Inside the hole there was ice and snow. Slowly and cautiously, I stepped into the hole. I could feel the chill through my sneakers. Then I saw it. In a case made of ice, was a blue Chaos Emerald. I rubbed the ice with my hands to warm it. Then I broke off a chunk. There it was, begging me to take it. I grabbed it, feeling Chaos energy surge throughout my entire body. Ca-CHUNK! I whirled around. The chasm had closed. I stood there for a few seconds, breathing heavily, a mist gathering, it was so cold. Then I looked at where I got the Chaos Emerald. It had been held in place with a clamp with a very heavy spring. It had snapped so hard it caused an avalanche. Well, wouldn't hurt to look around, would it?
I had been traveling for about an hour when I heard a soft whirr. Spinning around, I saw what looked like-
"Metal Sonic!" I screamed as I plunged ahead.
