Chapter 5: I Don't Belong Here

''Hohohohoho! What's it gonna be Sonic? Are you giving me only one emerald in exchange for Vanilla's life? Or will you give me seven emeralds in exchange for Amy's life?'' The evil doctor said laughing maniacally.

''Noo! Mom!'' I heard poor Cream cry for her mother.

I was hanged by a machine holding my waist, while Vanilla was hanged the same way. Only that I was on top of a big pool of lava while a strange gun machine was pointing at Vanilla. And from the top, I could see everyone looking up to us. Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, and Shadow. But Cream and Sonic were the worst to look at. Sonic was so troubled, not knowing what to do. But Cream was crying so bad, that it made me feel terrible. Vanilla doesn't deserve to die, she's the sweetest person I've ever met, and because of her, I probably wouldn't even be alive! She has always taken care of me ever since that horrible incident happened to my mother, and that's something I should be grateful about.. She is almost like a second mother to me, and I won't bear to see her die because of me! I can't let that happen to her!

''Sonic! Just save Vanilla. She is more important right now and she doesn't deserve this!'' I yelled to Sonic.

Everyone just looked at me like I'm crazy, especially Vanilla.

''Are you out of your mind? I can't let that happen to you!'' Vanilla said.

''It's okay Vanilla. What matters is that everything will turn out alright.''

''Not for you! Amy don't do this! I know we can figure something out!'' Knuckles said.

''You only have sixty seconds to decide and if you won't tell me as soon as time ends, I will end both of their lifes! MUAHAHAHAHA!'' Eggman said laughing evilly again.

Vanilla and I just looked at each other.

''Vanilla, thank you so much for always being there for me. That's the greatest thing you could do for me! Especially when I was just a little girl deppresed, who didn't cared about her life. I'll never forget the good times we spent together. Thank you. I love you...mom.'' I said, while a single tear fell.

''Oh Amy don't say that! I would never forgive myself if something terrible happened to you!'' Vanilla said starting to cry.

I just gave her a sad smile. Then I looked at my friends, and they seemed to be planning something in order to save us both. I dunno why, but for some reason I just felt like this was going to be the last sixty seconds of my life. Maybe this is not where I belong. Maybe this was all meant for me to go back with my mother. Just thinking about her made another tear fall. How I miss her. It's only been a few years since her death and nothing has still changed. I am still that deppresed little girl who yearns for her mother. What's the point of living if I will never be happy without my mother? I may have friends, but they probably don't care about me that much. Especially Sonic, who always has to run away from me. What does he care about me? He should be so excited that Im going to be gone forever.

''Time is over! Say goodbye to your dear friends Sonic The Hedgehog!''

Goodbye cruel world, I thought to myself crying. However, something odd happened. As the hanger was slowly pulling me down and they ray gun was getting ready, I heard Sonic yell:

''Rouge, now!''

And without a word, I saw Rouge picking Sonic, and threw him with all the strenght she had, making Sonic fly with style in the air, and then landed on Eggman's round and floating seat.

''I won't let you kill anyone Eggman!'' Sonic said starting to punch the evil doctor.

As he was punching him, I saw that he accidently pushed a random button with his foot, making my hanger stop pulling me down into the lava. Seconds later, I saw Tails and Cream flying to me.

''What are you guys doing?'' I said confused.

''This is part of the plan.'' Cream said smilling.

''Alright Cream now hand me the equipment.'' Tails said extending his hand to her expecting a tool.

''Got you Tails!'' Cream said opening the box she was holding, containing many types of tools.

Cream looked for the right one, and gave it to Tails quickly, and then he started to unlock the hanger, wasting no time. A minute later, the hanger opened and Tails catched me as soon as I was freed.

''Yeah!'' Cream and Tails said while high-fiving each other.

They flew me back to the ground, making sure I was okay. However, something was not right, because Vanilla should be freed by now, but she is not. I can see Rouge flying while holding Knuckles, who was trying to damage the hanger, but seemed to be struggling.

''Tails! It's not working!'' Knuckles said while struggling.

''What?!'' Tails said.

He flew quickly over to Rouge and Knuckles and said:

''How can that be? It has to work!''

''Guys, hurry up! I can't hold Knucklehead much longer!'' Rouge said also struggling.

''Knuckles, let me try.'' Tails said.

Knuckles gave him the tool and Tails started to work right away. But I could see that he was starting to struggle and he tried the best he could, but turned out to be a failure.

''Oh no this is isn't good. This hanger seems to be much stronger than Amy's!'' Tails said catching everyone's attention.

Even Sonic stopped fighting as soon as he heard Tails and said:

''What?''

But as soon as Sonic stopped fighting, Eggman rose up, and pushed Sonic out of his seat, making him fall. Fortunately, Cream catched him just on time, saving his life. However, Eggman pushed a random button, making the gun device starting to sound.

''Your deal has expired! Now you will all get to watch with your own eyes as this machine will absorb Vanilla's life!''

''Mom!'' Cream started to cry.

''No!'' I heard Sonic say.

He got to the ground, ran at full speed to where the gun was, and hit it as best as he could. His speed made the gun tilt a little, and we all thought we did it and that Vanilla was not getting hurt anymore. However, we heard Vanilla scream in agony and pain. The ray didn't hit her, but it was directing at her right eye. We were all so panicked. Someone had to do something before it was too late! I saw Tails flying quickly to the gun, detached a lot of things as much as he could to make it stop. It took a minute for it to stop. As soon as the ray disappeared, Vanilla fainted unconsciously, her head automatically going down.

''This can't be happening! No!'' Cream yelled.

Knuckles, Creamn and Tails got to the hanger.

''Maybe if we unite our strengths, it could open the hanger!''

All of them put their hands on the tool and tried to disarm it as much as they could until we all heard a strange sound, meaning the hanger opened, while Vanilla was falling down.

''Shadow, catch her!'' Tails said.

At the very second he said that, Shadow appeared in a blur and catched Vanilla on time.

''I got her!'' He said as he grabbed her.

I ran to Shadow as soon as I could, to see if Vanilla was alright.

''How is she Shadow? Is she alright?'' I said running to him.

''Yes, I can feel her breathing.''

''Thank goodness!'' I said relieved.

But something unexpected happened. I could hear Vanilla groaning, then she said:

''Oooh... What happened to me?'' She said covering her right eye.

I was about to tell her that everything was going to be alright. But when she moved her hand, something was not right about her right eye. There was no color. There was just plain gray, a lifeless gray. I saw Vanillla blinking a few times, then said:

''What happened to my right eye?'' She asked confused.

As I was watching her, fear spread my whole body. This can't be happening! Is she.. I she blind?

And now the memory stops, leaving me dumbfounded.

''Amy?'' I heard the lady rabbit say.

And now I look at the lady, now knowing fully who is she.

''Vanilla, I.. I'm so sorry..'' I said while my eyes were getting watery.

''Why you apologize? There is nothing to apologize for.'' She said smilling at me.

How can she say that? How can she forget that terrible day where she lost one of her eyes? How can she be so happy about it?

''How can you say that after what happened to you?'' I said now crying.

Everyone looked at me with widened eyes. I just stood there, feeling the same pain I had felt at that memory. Why this had to happen to her? I really don't remember a lot about her, but I do know that she has taken care of me...ever since my mother was... gone. And no one would ever care that much about me as Vanilla did. So why did she had to loose one of her eyes, while I won to be saved from death? Why didn't they saved Vanilla first? Why did they had to save me? I wanted to die! I wanted to go where my mother is now, because like I said in my memory: I don't belong here.

''Amy.. Please don't cry.. What's wrong? Did you just remembered something?'' Sonic said walking to me trying to console me.

But as soon as Sonic touched me, I repelled from him. I just took a step back from him and revealed my tears falling. When I did this, Sonic and everyone else gave a puzzled look, as if they have no idea what's happening.

''Ames?'' Sonic said confused.

''Why did you saved me? I don't belong here, goddammit! I wanted to fricking die! And because you saved me, Vanilla lost an eye! You should've saved her first, not me!'' I said now yelling.

''Amy.. How did you..?'' Cream asked with shock.

And then all of a sudden the painful headache came back, torturing my mind with it's unbearable burning. I covered my head with my hands and said:

''You will never understand me!''

Then I just ran away from them. I don't know where I was running, but I just ran to wherever it looked familiar. I ran up the stairs, and randomly opened a door I picked and locked myself in it. I knelt down on the floor and kept crying while the pain was still present in my head.

Sonic's POV:

I was about to follow Amy but Cream stopped me by putting her hand on my shoulder and said:

''Let her go. Maybe what she needs is some time to think to herself.''

I really wanted to help Amy. I mean, what if she needs me? But then again, Cream does make a good point. So I just sat down on one of the couches reluctantly and started to think on what Amy just said:

''Could it be that.. She just remembered the day that...'' Cream said, but could not finish her sentence.

We all just sat there, not knowing what to say.

''How could she remember that so quickly?'' Cream said.

''I think it was because she was staring at my right eye.. Maybe my eye helped her remember that day..'' Vanilla said.

''I think I just realized something..'' I said.

''What is it Sonic?'' Cream asked curiously.

''I think that everytime she sees someone or something that seems familiar to her, a memory instantly comes to her that is related to what she just saw.''

''And how do you know that? It could've been just a coincidence.'' Cream said.

''Because, something similar happened like that before. I mean, she just remembered we are married just by seeing the sign of our honeymoon car. And now, she just remembered that day just by seeing Vanilla's right eye.''

''Wow, she already knows your her husband? She's rememebering things at a fast pace.'' Vanilla said surprised.

''I know. I'm starting to think that maybe she will recover soon.'' I said.

''And she will. She just needs our help. It won't be easy for her or for any of us, but I know that we can do this.'' Vanilla said putting her hand on my shoulder.

''Mom's right. We can do this.'' Cream said smilling.

''Thanks guys. I really need your help.'' I said my stress slowly cooling off.

? i!$ POV:

I was just parking my car in front of my house, when I found Sonic's car parked there. He's here already? I didn't know he was coming today. Well, I just hope Amy is alright with that Amnesia Sonic told me about before. I parked my car, turned it off, and got out of it. I was about to go inside the house, but then I heard something strange. I dunno what was the sound, but it came from the back of the house. I sneackily walked to the other side of the house, and I saw someone standing up from the ground. I hid myself behind the wall so that the person wouldn't see me. I poked my head out of the wall, and saw a lot of blankets falling from the window's second floor. What is going on? I looked at the person now to see who it was, and my eyes widened as I saw a pink hedgehog. It's Amy?! But what is she doing? Why is she escaping from us? I had to stop her from running away.

''Amy no, stop!'' I said as I was running to her.

She was about to leave until she heard me. She just stopped walking and looked at me with such confusion.

''Who are you and how do you know my name?'' She said.

She looked so scared that I thought she would cry.

''You might not remember me now, but that's besides the point. Why are you running away?''

This time she looked sad. She looked at the full moon and said:

''I don't feel like I belong here.. I... I think that all I am to them is a nuisance.'' She said while her eyes were getting watery.

''But why would you say that? We care about you Amy. You are like a family to us.''

This time she just stared at me with such a strange gaze. Why is she looking at me like that? This stare lasted for minutes. It's as if she wasn't looking at me, but as if she were looking at something else. After this long stare, she walked slowly toward me, gave me one last look and randomly slapped me, leaving me a red mark on my cheek. What is wrong with her? In a moment she looked so scared and confused, and now all of a sudden she looks mad as if I did something to make her be like this.

''Amy what is wrong with you?! Im trying to help you and you slap me?'' I said.

I saw tears rapidly falling from her eyes and said:

''I hate you, I hate you! I wanted to die and because of you I have to go through all of this! If it wasn't for you, I would've been with my mother by now! Why did you had to save me? Why? No one cares about me so why should I live?'' She said yelling.

''Amy, how can you say that?'' I said widening my eyes.

''Amy listen, all you remember is bad memories. But I promise you that we had good memories too! You are special to us and we would not bear to see you die!'' I said.

''But you are not my family Tails and you never will! The only family I have is my mother, but now she's gone and now Im all alone.. I don't see you as a family, I see you as some strangers who saved me as a little girl just because they felt bad for her.''

''Amy..''

''Goodbye Tails. I appreciate you for saving me, but this is not what I want. What I want is to go where I belong.''

And with that said, Amy ran away from me. She ran and ran, until she could not be seen anymore. Panicked at this, I ran to my house to tell the others what just happened.

Amy's POV:

I didn't know where I was running, but all I cared was to run away from them and never see them again. As I was running, rain started to pour down on me, the full moon was getting covered by the dark clouds, making the place even more dark. I soon became lost. It was so dark that I couldn't see where to go. But I didn't cared. I kept running and running until I was far away from them. I soon got tired of running. I slowed down until I stopped walking. I breathed for a minute, then I had to think on where I should go now. I found myself in the middle of a forest, where big trees were sorrounding me everywhere. I sat down near a tree, deciding that maybe staying here is not such a bad idea. I stared up at the grey sky, letting the violent rain get me wet without a care. What am I gonna do now? If I don't belong there, then where do I belong?

Aand thats it! Thanks for reading it! I hope u liked it! Please review me, I need to hear your opinions! :D
