Chapter 5: A First

Dark shadows flew through the quiet woods. They had been separated into every part of Gemnissent to find the two legendary Heroes. As they flew down near the ground they saw small footsteps on the dirt path road. Instantly they knew they had been around the area.

One of the shadows flew down curious of the footprint, but because of its curiosity suddenly a huge trunk with dead brown and bright green leaves popped out from a hiding stop and caught the shadow by surprised. It opened its mouth gobbling up the shadow and ate it. The rest of the shadows that passed by ignored the creature and their partner getting eating and just moved on farther into the woods.

.:XxX:.

"Ok, let's see. We are still in the woods and we need to pass Lamba swamp…." Amy said to herself. She stared down at the small map Professor Pickle had handed her. It wasn't as detailed as the large map Linda had shown them but she could still figure it out.

It was still dark where they walked but the sun was coming out from the horizon. Only a small amount of light could be seen in the distance.

"It's hard to see this when it's so dark." Amy complained moving her face away from the map.

"Let me see," Sonic said snatching the map out of her hands and taking a look at it. He turned the map sideways and then upside down. "Clueless. All I see is green with small brown and blue lines everywhere. How the fuck can you read this?" He asked.

"Give me that!" she snapped taking the map out of his hands.

"Let's just walk until we see something or reach the end. "Sonic suggested.

"No! We can't just go anywhere and expect to see that swamp. We have to be careful and figure out this map." Amy explained, looking from him and back at the paper in her hands.

Sonic raised his eyebrow and glared at her. "And who made you in charge?"

Amy paused and slowly turned to him. "No one, I'm just saying we should do the safest thing here, but, if Mr. I-Know-Everything wants to lead the way, the roads all yours." She slyly said her eyes closing half way and a smirk on her lips.

Sonic faked a smirk back and snatched the map. "Good idea,"

He walked ahead leaving Amy standing in placing with a disbelief look. All hope was in his hands right now. Once he was pointed out to do something there is no stopping him. "Me and my big mouth," she grumbled as she began walking again.

Sonic and Amy quietly walked keeping their distance from each other. As Sonic was looking down at the map he suddenly felt a strange feeling. A feeling as if someone was following them. He stopped turning around. Amy walked turned seeing him glaring back at the road they had walked through.

"Is something wrong?" She asked him. He turned to her with a serious look and then back to the woods. That feeling only kept getting stronger and fearful.

"Hurry, Let's go." He said in a very serious voice and ran down the path road.

"H-Huh? Wait Sonic!" She called out and ran after him.

Sonic wasn't as fast like he was back on earth but he could still run fast enough. Sonic looked back, seeing Amy Running behind him, confused. Just before he was going to stop, a Black figure appeared from the distance. Sonic stopped running and took a look at him. Amy stopped next to him and looked back to see what he was looking so fearful of.

A shadow that floated in the air was flying around the trees, but it didn't seem to see them until Amy gasped loudly, tripping over a foot while walking backwards.

Their eyes widened when the shadow saw them and rushed their direction with it's hands reached out.

"I-It's that shadow guy!" she cried in fear, remembering the memory of being strangled to drink something just before she passed out and woke up in a weird place.

Sonic looked at her. She held a very fearful look like if she knew the thing. She had somehow seen this thing once by the looks of it, caused her to be afraid of it so much, because she wouldn't move from place

"Amy run, now!" He warned her pulling on her shirt. Amy broke from her trance and made a run for it, the same direction they were going for before. Along with Sonic, who let go of her shirt so he could run.

Running down the path breathless, Sonic and Amy soon began to see a light at the end of the forest. "It's the end!" Sonic yelled at her so she would hear him. Amy closed her eyes as they approached the brightness that hurt her eyes. Sonic squinted and both entered through the light.

Sonic and Amy stopped and now were in a hill top. From the top the large grassy green plains could be seen. The wind was blowing lightly through the large plains, the grass swaying with the wind and the Sun now showing a little bit more. The hill was steep and a long way down and at the end... the hill was a cliff. Across a few feet more flat grassy plains.

She turned quickly finding Sonic climbing in a log. It was carved inside so it could fit two people for a ride.

"What are you doing?!" Amy exclaimed.

"Don't scream at me and get in!" he growled. Amy looked back seeing the black shadow getting closer. "It isn't safe." She retorted. Sonic turned too seeing the shadow come out of the woods and so Sonic quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her in. "Waaa-Omph," She landed on her elbows and her face hit the bottom of the log. He moved quickly and pushed the log forward with his body. The shadow was getting closer and he needed a plan of action. This was the best it could go.

"We don't have time for this shit!" he said angrily.

She fell backwards into the log as Sonic pushed himself along with the log until they slid down.

Amy got up feeling the wind blow across her face at great speed. Realizing the log sliding down the grass really fast, she screamed closing her eyes.

"Woohoo!" Sonic cheered raised his hands up.

Amy wrapped her arms around his waist to scare of ever letting go. Sonic noticed but didn't pay too much attention to it because suddenly the shadow appeared beside them. It extended its arm to try to grab Amy, but she moved closer to Sonic. Sonic clenched his teeth in disgust of both Amy and the shadow but soon grinned. He grabbed the log's sides and moved to the side away from the shadow. His grin streaked out to his deft thinking.

"Ahh, Sonic Please be careful!" Amy yelled holding tighter to him. Sonic's eyes went forward taking a look of the view. He squint his eyes of what was up ahead.

"Just hold on and trust me!" he yelled back.

She was bewildered by his sudden determination and words but held tighter on to him and hid her face on his back and near the shoulder.

Sonic targeted the small cliff he was headed to, but before he could move the log to the side to drift, he was distracted when he heard screaming. Turning he saw the shadow had Amy by the arm and was pulling her up but she was holding to him by the other hand. "Let me go!" Amy cried.

"YO!"

The shadow turned only coming face to face with a fist that punched across the figure's dark shadowy face. The shadow let go of Amy's arm and the let out a high-pitch cry before puffing into a dark fog.

Amy looked up at Sonic who held that annoyed look, but not at her.

"Fucking bitches," he angrily said.

Amy's lips twirled into a smile while a tingly feeling started in her stomach. He was defending her and he didn't even know he just did. Amy's eyes shifted across his shoulder.

"Sonic!" She yelled her eyes widening. "What now!" he snarled.

She pointed behind him. "We're running out of road!"

Sonic looked around and his mouth opened wide.

The log slid on the curved end sending the log up into the air.

"AHHHH!"

Both flew up in the air. Sonic and Amy were able to see the castle from the altitude. It was at the top of a faraway dark mountain that had rain clouds above it. They're mouths slowly opened at the scary sight. It didn't look very happy either. It was then stated… that…was Yubala's castle.

Just then, the log went down and they saw that the landed wasn't going to be a very pretty one.

"Brace yourself!"

The log collided with the ground flipping it over and cracking it in two. Sonic and Amy came out rolling down a flat area.

When both stopped, Sonic was laughing loudly and Amy chuckled nervously. Sonic was on his belly position and Amy on her back facing up at the sky. Sonic's laughter died out when lifting himself up. He looked down at Amy who looked at him back.

Amy's cheeks began to get red. Sonic's smile turned into a frown. He got up and dusted himself off.

"Erm," He cleared his throat looking around the area. Amy frowned sadly. It was one of the few times she's seen him smile at her. She stood up slowly fixing her hair. When she finally got time to have a fun with him without fighting, he always had to spoil it.

"Ok, Amy, the map," he asked not making eye contact with her. He had his hand opened for her to give him the map but she never did.

Amy froze. She checked her pockets and winced. She slowly looked at an angry Sonic.

"Amy, where's the map?" he asked trying his hardest not to yell.

She quickly remembered, "You had it when you were leading the way!" she retorted pointing at him.

Sonic blinked and looked at himself. His hands were empty. "I think I dropped it." He said distantly.

"You dropped it!" Amy exclaimed.

"It was an accident! Those things were chasing us! Not my fault!" he shot back defending himself.

"Augh," Amy slapped her forehead. "Why did I even give you the map?" she grumbled.

"I know, Why did you?" he insulted her. Amy death glared him. "Don't start adding blames on me!"

"What are you talking about? You blamed yourself just now." He said crossing his arms.

Amy snapped once he said that and pounced at him. They fell down on the grass, Amy on top of Sonic.

She threw punches on his chest letting out her angry. "We're lost because of your stupidity; we have no idea where this Lamba place is!" she sputtered. Sonic rolled her over so he would be one top of her. He pinned her arms to the ground. Amy kept kicking and screaming for him to get off her but he was again way too strong.

"Look! We'll find the swamp place and so on from there. Just calm down!" He yelled at her face.

Amy glared up at him who held a serious annoyed look. She was also surprised he was taking it seriously but didn't show it. She pouted and averted to the side. He loosened his grip on her and got off her. She sighed and got up too. Sonic crossed his arms and looked down, closing his eyes. Amy took a deep breath and nodded.

"I'm calm," she stated. He opened his eyes and glared at her. Without a word he twirled and began walking but instantly stopped. In the far end of the plains there was smug coming out from some trees.

Amy approached his side. "I don't think we'll need the map to find the swamp anymore." She stated.

He let out a shakily sigh trying to forget all that had just happened. "Then let's not waste any more time." He told her and both walked down the grassy plains with a memory that seemed to be a first for the two of them and the last as well.

Awkward Momments. Still it got them a good saving. Right?

Next will be a lot more about Sonic trying not to show any feelings of careship towards her. Just thought I'd let you all know.
