Chapter 26 A Promise Broken
Blaze and the others landed on the surface and saw Sliver and Light unconscious. Breeze order everyone to put Light and Sliver on the dropship while Blaze and Freeze was searching for Sonic. "I'll check over here while you'll check over there Freeze". "okay". Freeze went off while Blaze check a cave. "Sonic?" shout Blaze. Blaze didn't hear a thing so she was about to leave till she saw something move in the shadows. "Sonic? Is that you?". a few seconds pass and someone spoke. "…Blaze? Is that you?". "Sonic is that you? Are you sick again? Your voice is deep". Blaze walk into the cave but Sonic stop her. "Don't come any closer!". "what's wrong Sonic? Are you hurt or something?". "…just don't get close to me…please". "Sonic what's wrong! Answer me!" order Blaze as she got closer. "stay away!". "why!". "…something happen to me…something that will scare you…". "Sonic…please let me help you". Blaze could hear Sonic taking a deep breath and walking forward. Soon Freeze enter the cave and saw Blaze. Soon Blaze saw Sonic as he walk out of the shadows. "…S…Sonic…" said Blaze as she step away from Sonic. Sonic could see the fear in her eyes and look away in shame. Blaze turn around and left the cave. Freeze walk up to Sonic and could hear him sobbing. "…Sonic?". "…run away like Blaze…I'm a monster now…" cried Sonic. Suddenly Sonic felt Freeze arms around him. "…I won't run from you…your still you…the person I fell in love with…". Sonic turn to Freeze and saw into her eyes. There was no fear, only kindness. Freeze and Sonic slowly got closer to each other and kiss.
Meanwhile Blaze was still running till she fell. As she lay there, Blaze started to think. She couldn't believe that thing was Sonic. Sonic look kind and cheerful but that thing look ugly and evil. The Sonic she fell in love with was gone and only that thing remain. Suddenly Blaze thought back to the time when they was on the beach.
*flashback*
Sonic and Blaze was on the beach and was watching the sunset as they sat next to each other. "the sunset is beautiful right Sonic". "yeah but not as beautiful as you Blaze" said Sonic as he smile at her. Blaze laugh for a sec and turn to Sonic. "stop joking Sonic". "joking? It's true Blaze. Your beautiful". "…you're the first boy who said that to me. They all fear my power over fire that they even call me ugly and a monster…". Sonic became sad as he remember how Blaze had a hard life growing up. "…Sonic…". "yeah Blaze". "…will you still love me if I became a monster?". "of course I will still love you. Even if the outside has change, the inside will always be you…" said Sonic as he kiss her. "…you promise Sonic?" said Blaze as she broke the kiss. "I promise but what about me? Will you still love me even if I change into a monster?". "I will always love you Sonic. No matter what monster you become. I promise!".
*end of flashback*
Blaze started to cry as she realize what she have done. Blaze rose to her feet and dash back to the cave and was about to call out Sonics name till she saw him and Freeze kissing. "…Freeze I love you". 'I love you too Sonic". Blaze grab her chest and a single tear slide down her cheek as she walk away. Outside the cave, Blaze fell to her knees and cried.
