How Far Will You Go?

Chapter 5: Midnight

It felt like he was running after them for hours in his mind; the ally way was so long and dark.

When he finally caught up, he saw nine figures surrounding his cousin against the brick wall, as one of them chocked her, some other hands were trying to rip her clothes off, but only succeeded in getting off her jacket, as she struggled to fight back, using her hands to remove the huge hand that gripped her neck, and kicking wildly in the faces and lower area of the attackers.

Rob quickly jumped in the group, and started punching them all down. Amy fell to the ground with exhaustion. She panted and tried to get her vision together.

"Amy, come on! We gotta go!" Rob yelled and frantically tried to pull her up. Once she was up and running with Rob towards the end of the ally, they both felt the weight of people falling all over them. Amy was pulled to the left, while Rob was pushed to the right. Three figures punched and held the light blue hedgehog, while the other three held his cousin down trying to rip her clothes off again.

"You bastards! Let her go!" Rob exclaimed to the group across from him.

"Bastard really? I thought I was a 'Dickhead'." the two hedgehog's eyes slowly looked up at the person that stood before them.

There he was the same black cat at the movie theater. He was wearing a black sweater, some black denim pants, and black shoes. He had a diamond earring in his right ear and also a tongue ring, and a gold ring on his long tail. His eyes were yellow, with black irises. Two cats stood behind him.

"Hello there. My name is Midnight, and these are my little brothers. How are you two doing this fine night?" he said so calm and peaceful like nothing out of the ordinary was going on?!

"How are we?! What kind of bullshit is that?! What the hell do you want with us, midget?!" Rob yelled with what little breath he got from the heavy figures on top of him.

It was true; Midnight was considerably short to be the oldest of the group. The other eight were much taller and more muscular than him, yet he seemed to be the leader.

"It's not what we want with you; it's what we want with her."

"With m-me?" Amy asked worried from under an orange, and blacked striped muscular cat, with the aroma if alcohol reeking off of him.

"You got it gorgeous." a deep voice from a big yellow cat with blond hair that covered his eyes. The pink hedgehog looked at the people around her; engulfing her surroundings. From her cousin struggling to break free, to the scumbag leader, she stared to recognize something. Besides Midnight, everyone had the number nine in red some where o there bodies; some on shirts, pants, earrings, even tattoos.

"Rob, this isn't good." she squeaked

"What? Why?"

"Don't you know who they are? These guys are part of the most dangerous gang in town, The Nine Lives."

The Nine Lives, the most dangerous and sneakiest gang known. They're all separated in nine different groups, and are skilled for specific jobs, and could always get away from the law. The groups were wanted for stealing, drug use, attempted murder, and most of all…rape. So many girls were taken advantage of by them, and nobody knew who the leader truly was…until now.

Midnight was the oldest of his group, and also the leader of the whole team. Not only that, he was the brains too; planning their next moves, choosing the victims, hiding all their wrong doings, and keeping the muscle-head brothers in check. He was the only one that looked so civilized and treated everybody so respectfully, nobody would ever expect that he was the leader of a gang, especially the Nine Lives.

The black cat face started to smirk slyly at Amy's intelligence of who they were. "Hmm…you're a smart one aren't you? You're just right to fulfill me and my brother's pleasure and desires."

"What?!" Rob yelled ferociously.

"I am NOT some kind of meat you feed to a crazed animal!" she exclaimed, but had chills up her spine as she felt a weird sensation.

"I don't know baby," a green cat with a black mohawk and a Hispanic accent said seductively as he licked Amy's thigh "You taste pretty good to me." he finished by nibbling her neck.

"WHAT?!" her jade eyes grew furiously "THAT'S IT!" with a snap of her fingers her Piko Piko hammer was instantly visible in her left hand. She spun around on her back, in a break dancers' style and knocked all three thugs off of her.

"Let's go Long Hammer and Warrior Feather!" After Amy's call of her weapons they instantly appeared. Two white feathers with a pink tip, attached to a round silver piece appeared on her head band, and her yellow and red grew longer and turned green and blue. "Now get off my cousin!" the pink hedgehog demanded as she spun around quickly with her hammer accelerating. She spun towards them and knocked the other three off Rob!

"Rob, let's go!" Amy frantically pulled him up. "These guys are too dangerous!"

"Ok." Rob agreed, which wasn't like him, but he was too tired to fight back. Amy and Rob quickly started running towards the exit where a bright light could be seen. "We're gonna make it!"

Midnight growled under his breath. "You idiots, get up! They can't get away! Shoot them down!" he ordered.

The felines got their acts together, and grabbed their hidden guns, and started shooting crazy. You think they would actually get close enough at hitting them, but the bullets were so far off the two hedgehogs didn't even need to dodge. The leader of the gang rolled his eyes at how bad shots they were. "Dumb bitches," Midnight pulled out his a special gun with a crescent moon sign on both sides of it and aimed, "I'll do it myself."

Amy looked behind her, and everything stopped for her. In her mind time slowed down as she watched him pull the trigger; listening to the roaring sounds of the gunshot. Horror struck her face as the bullet headed towards her most precious person, and she instantly did the first thing that came to her mind.

"Look out!" she screamed and the brave hedgehog jumped and pushed Rob out of the way. "Ugh" she squeaked out as she felt a sharp pain in her side. She dropped hard on the concrete; her outfit was completely soaked in her own blood. Her bright jade eyes turned dull and fluttered as it became harder to stay awake.

"Oh my Gosh, AMY!!" Rob fell to the ground next to her, holding her hand tightly. "Amy," tears begged to be set free from his lime green eyes "please hang on."

"R-Rob…I'm sc-scared." she was able to breathe out.

"Don't worry Amy, I promised I'd always protect."

"Yo big bro, we got the girl!" the big yellow cat said enthusiastically.

"No, I got the girl. You guys are too drunk to even shoot right."

"So, you wanna finish him off first, or torture him by killing her, boss?" a red, less muscular said menacingly, with crazy blood lust eyes.

"Torture sounds good to me." The Nine Lives walked up to the cousins, and Rob quickly put on his guard and stood in front of Amy; arms stretched with his weak knees. One of the brothers easily punched him to the side of a brick wall.

"Hey tough guy! Watch as your precious cousin takes her last breath." The crazy red cat taunted as he pointed the gun at the blood soaked hedgehog,

Rob's heart started racing as he watched the feline slowly pull the trigger. He quickly stood and ran at a speed only Sonic himself could reach until…BAM BAM BAM!!

Amy's POV:

I was scared…thinking this was it for me. I struggled to listen as I started to lose consciousness. The sound of Rob hitting the wall only terrified me more, and I watched as the Nine Lives stood above me, one pointing a gun towards my limp body.

"Hey tough guy, watch as your precious cousin takes her last breath." my vision cleared enough to see the red one slowly pull the trigger, and I quickly closed my eyes, not wanting to see what would happen to me.

BAM BAM BAM!!

My last breath was taken away from as something fell on top of me. Distant police sirens could be heard and a scattering of feet too. My body finally gives up and I enter a world of darkness, thinking I was dying with one person on my mind.

'R-Rob'
