Chapter 5: Amy's New Life

Somewhere far away

A worn out pink hedgehog was making her way out of the training facility and into her room. Once she was in there she went into the bathroom where she could relax and have a shower, she let the water hit her body as if that it would calm her mind but of course that can never happen, her mind went back to her past life, before she came here. She had many friends, of which she will never see again but of course no one forced her to come here, it was her decision.

She then remembered him, she tried to hold back her tears but to no luck. Why? Why did he treat her this way? What did she do to deserve this? Those were some of the questions that kept going round her mind, she clenched her teeth, and she mustn't think about her past anymore and most importantly she mustn't think about him.He was the only thing that was holding her back, holding her back from doing her job. She got out of her shower and changed into clean clothes, she sighed, removing anymore thoughts about her past life. She then heard a knock at the door, out of instinct she answered the door and saw one of her good friends.

Her name was Rose; at first when she met her she was surprised that a girl like her was so alike to herself. There she stood, her arms crossed while she had a smirk on her face, Amy knew that this was one of her favourite poses, the minute she met her she knew that they would instantly became friends. Even now she remembered how they met….

She couldn't believe what she was doing, but nevertheless she found herself running, she didn't knew where exactly but anywhere was better then being with 'him'. You see Sonic had kept running away from her from the past hour and it was then that she realised why. He hated her. He must have, it was the only explanation, the only reason why he did what he did. Every time he ran away from her, every time he refused to go a date with her, she couldn't understand why but now she knew. He must have hated her. Realising this was all to much, so she kept running as far away her legs could carry her, tears flow freely from her eyes and down her soft face. Her vision became blurred and therefore she bumped into someone. She instantly looked up and was about to apologise but it was then that she looked at the person she bumped into. She was a pink hedgehog like her, the pink hedgehog also had a fringe, but her fringe was longer and covered her right eye, she wore what seemed like a hooded top and black trousers, her hooded top was also black and therefore her clothes matched. Her eyes were a brown colour but showed no emotions.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to bumped into you-"Amy started to say but the pink hedgehog had gotten up and had her back towards Amy.

"Don't worry about it, it was my fault, I didn't see where I was going" and with that she walked off. Amy had picked herself off and remembered the reason why she was running therefore she walked to a nearby cliff, she gazed down and saw the amount of distance between her and the ground, she took a deep breath and reminded herself the number of reasons why she was doing this, but all of those reasons led back to 'him'. She looked again and closed her eyes, she knew what was coming, all she had to do was to fall off the cliff couldn't be too hard right? And so that's what she did, she still had her eyes closed as she waited for impact but it never came, she looked to see what was happening and there she was. The pink hedgehog that she bumped into was holding onto her red dress, it was a good thing she had a good grip or Amy would be falling down to the depths below, she flashed a smirk at Amy before throwing her back on the cliff. Amy had a soft landing, but she couldn't understand why a complete stranger would save her.

"Your name's Amy right?" she said after she saw Amy landed safely. Amy nodded, how does she know her name?

"You know me?" she asked while she grinned.

"If I didn't know better I would say you were upset by a certain blue hedgehog right?" she said while Amy nodded again.

"How did-"Amy was interrupted by the pink hedgehog.

"When you bumped into me, I could tell you were upset, your eyes said it all," she smirked at Amy. "Don't get me wrong, if it was any other person I would have let them die," she said when Amy's expression changed to a shocked look, how can she be so heartless?

"Why me?" she managed to say.

"You have that hammer of yours right?" she said while pointing at her, Amy nodded. "With that hammer you can do loads of things with it, and besides you and I have something in common," she said while Amy had a confused look on her face. "We're both hurt by the ones we love," she said, somehow that had an impact on Amy as she burst into tears, the pink hedgehog sat next to Amy. "Come now, you got to move on, how you think I handled it?" she chuckled at the thought.

"I-I-I can't…. it hurts too much." Amy managed to choke out between her sobs. "How did you manage it?"

"Easily," she said looking at Amy "I'm not a total sap like you…" she said as she chuckled slightly, the minute Amy heard that her mood change, she went from upset to angry. But the pink hedgehog saw it coming she jumped out of the way before she got into trouble, she then grinned at Amy. "See what I mean? You could easily put your skills to some good use" Amy realised what she meant, she knew that if she agreed there was no going back, but she had nothing to lose, not now that 'he' had hurt her so much. "My name's Rose by the way" Rose said bowing slightly. Amy smiled at Rose when she saw Rose sitting besides her once again.

"Keep talking Rose," she said while getting herself comfortable on the grass, Rose grinned once again as she began to explain……

"Well? Are you gonna let me in?" the voice snapped Amy back into reality as she saw Rose by the door; Amy laughed nervously before letting Rose in. Rose sat on the bed still with her arms crossed, "you know why I came here to talk to you right?" she said looking at Amy with a serious look on her face. Amy shrugged, she had no idea what Rose what talking about. "I noticed it Amy, you were distracted during training, and you know that distractions end up as weakness, you of all people should know that." Amy growled at the thought of him,he was the reason why she was hurting; he was the distraction that she couldn't afford, it was him that made her weak. But she didn't want to get hurt again, that was another reason why she came here.

"Sorry Rose," she said as she thought she might have let Rose down, but instead Rose shook her head.

"Its fine, I shouldn't have snapped at you like that, even some of us think about our past lives now and again" she said placing both of her arms behind her head and closing her eyes as if she was in deep thought. Amy watched her friend for a few seconds before something clicked in her mind. Out of all the time she was with Rose, she never got the chance to ask her about her past life whereas she told her about hers; it was either now or never, this was the best time to ask her I guess.

"Rose? I hope you don't mind me asking but could you tell me about your past life, well I mean since I told you about my past life, it's only fair that you tell me yours….." Amy started to be confident when she started to talk to Rose but she became nervous when finishing her sentence. She knew Rose's temper since she kept using it to complete her missions and also during training but she knew that she wouldn't use her temper against her friends would she? As soon as Rose heard Amy's question, her eyes shot open, she froze, how dare she ask such a question to her? But she regained composure before her anger got the best of her; Rose shifted her position before answering Amy.

"That's none of your concern" she replied before getting up and headed towards the door. As soon as she saw Rose heading towards the door, Amy got up and grabbed her wrist, she wasn't going to take no for an answer and besides it wouldn't be fair if she told her past life to her while she didn't would it?

"Please Rose I want to know and you should stop trying to be like Shadow," she grinned when she said this; she knew how much it annoyed her when she compared him to her.

"What did you say?" Rose said slowly turning around to give Amy a chance to change what she had said. Amy's grin grew wider.

"You heard, now are you gonna tell me or do I have to repeat myself" she said as she continued to grin. Suddenly Amy was held up against the wall with a hand around her throat.

"Or I could kill you right now" Rose said in a low voice, but Amy still grinned despite the fact that Rose had her hand to her throat. Amy knew that Rose wouldn't really kill her since she had a good heart even though she would never show it.

"Still an assassin even to your friends huh Rose, but you have helped me through my time of need so let me help you." She said smiling while Rose placed her back on the ground.

"I'll tell you soon but not now, we still have training to do" she said while walking out of Amy's room, "And don't hold back this time or you wont live to see another second" she said before returning to the training facility, Amy groaned, she's so attached to her training I wonder what could have happened in her past life? She wondered while going back to the training facility once again.

What do you think? I know Sonic isn't in this one but I wanted to show you how Amy's life has changed and I think I did a good job but of course its up to you guys R&R everyone, until next time!
