I haven't really updated this story for a while thought I'd start again.

Lame.

Chapter 6: Careless

Yubala felt one of her shadows being exterminated by a very strong force. She didn't know how it could have happened but she sensed it, and she knew who it was too.

"I can see this hedgehog can fight." she told the Crow. Yubala closed her eyes to try to get more information about the strong hit.

"Hm...He seems to be very strong too." She said again sounding very worry. Yubala opened her eyes and walked off from the window she had been staring at." This is bad. If the boy can defend himself he'll be able to protect the girl as well. Therefore, we will not be able to capture them!" She growled clenching her fist and waving it around angrily.

The crow looked out the window. He closed his eyes and said, "They are headed to Lamba Swamp." The crow informed her.

Yubala nodded, "I know, I know, but we can't send the shadows there!" Yubala said turning to his direction. "Those monsters eat anything they can find. I will not lose my men on something that those kids could get out of themselves." She explained.

The crow blankly turned back to her. "You really believe they'll come out alive?" he asked.

Yubala smiled wickedly. "Oh my darling Seth, believe me they will."

.:XxX:.

Sonic and Amy walked down some grassy path. They were heading towards some trees that weren't as far as they were before. It had been a long walk down the grassy plains.

"My legs hurt," Amy groan.

"Well isn't that too bad." Sonic replied.

Ignoring his statement she asked, "Can we rest?"

Sonic turned 90 degrees to look at her, his eyes narrowed and a frown plastered on his face. "No!"

Amy pouted and crossed her arms. "Then can you at least carry me along the way since you don't seem tired?" She asked him.

Sonic put on a disgusted look and turned to her in a shocking matter. It was weird of her asking this.

"No!" he replied again.

She rolled her eyes. She knew the answer from the start so it didn't surprise her thought, it wouldn't have hurt to give it a shot.

Fog soon began to surround the area. The Sun slowly was covered and the place got darker. The road also was getting hard to see. Amy moved closer near Sonic's side. Sonic noticed and turned to her.

"Why so scared. Did you see your refection somewhere here?" he teased.

Amy narrowed her eyes. "No, don't start with me right now." She angrily told him lifting her finger up to his face. Sonic swatted t away and turned to face forward again. Amy looked around barley able to see a few trees around the area "It's just weird of a sudden change of weather." She explained.

"Your right it was sunny a few steps back, but that means were near water so that swamp place could be around here." He said. Amy nodded and took a huge breath. When she did she took in a bad smell and she began to cough. Sonic turned to her and stopped. "What now?" he asked rather annoyed.

Amy covered her nose with her hand. "That smell-What is it?" she asked

Sonic sniffed the air. "What smell?" he asked. Amy held on to her stomach. "The smell that's making me sick," She replied with a squeaky voice. Sonic turned around to glare at her but came across a green face. He winced then said, "Ew, don't puke on me!"

Amy looked up at him and angrily at him. "I'm not going to puke." She said covering her mouth.

As they walked along the track Amy began to get so dizzy she almost stumbled over. Sonic looked over and saw this. "Oh my-hurry the fuck up," Sonic snarled. Sonic went back to where she was and grabbed her arm pulling her down the road.

"Amy-"

Amy blinked and looked up at Sonic. "Huh," She questioned.

Sonic looked down at her. "What," he asked her with his angry glare.

"Did you just hear that?" she asked then paused before saying, "Did you say something?"

He lifted his eyebrows. "Ya hurry up," He harshly told her leaning in to her face with his brows crossed.

Amy stared back. His voice and the one she had just heard sounded the same. Only the other one was more soft and low sounding.

Soon they stopped both looking straight at a dead lake-like place. There was this green smug of air and fog scattered around the place. The water was green and muddy and the smell…

"Oh God!" Sonic let go of Amy's arm to cover his nose. "What is that smell?"

Amy held her breath. "I don't know," she said her words coming out muffled.

In front of them were a pile of rocks that were on top of each other that made a path on top of the muddy water to get to the other side of the swamp. Sonic let go of his nose and let out a shaky sigh and shook his head. "Ok, let's go." He said to Amy.

Sonic lifted his foot to take a step on the rock but Amy grabbed his arm. "No, wait, maybe it isn't safe." She warned him. Sonic narrowed his eyes at her and pulled his hand back. "Take the risk. We'll be fine." He assured her. He then focused his way back on the pile of rocks; He had to be careful where he stepped because he could step on a slanted rock and twist his ankle and fall. He lifted his foot and placed his on the rock. After that he got on the rock and smirk. He looked back at Amy and mention for her to come.

Amy could feel a lump rising in her throat as she saw him walking down the pile of rocks. She took a breath and let it go roughly. She lifted her foot to place it on top of the rock. She let go of her foot making it almost slip down but she got a hold of herself, stopping her foot from doing down the steep rock's side. "Steady," she reminded herself.

Sonic was already half way and when he turned around he saw Amy had taken only so many steps. She only walked 5 inches apart a step

He skeptically stared at her and put his hand on his hip. "You know walking like that will get you nowhere." Sonic loudly said because of their distance. Amy looked up. "Well it's sure gotten me this far," she replied back.

Sonic rolled his eyes pretending he didn't hear that and continued to walk down pass each rock. As Amy walked on each rock she turned down to the water. In the distance she saw water move a little. Instantly she froze. Suddenly she felt so scared to make another move.

"S-Sonic," She stuttered her voice cracking.

Sonic didn't seem to hear so he didn't turn around.
Amy saw the water soon move closer and closer, sending small waves heading towards her. The fog made it harder for her to see what it was, but her eyes weren't failing her. Amy began to move and again.

"Sonic, the water, it's moving-ow!" Amy cried out, but slipped on the rock and fell down twisting her ankle and falling on her knees. Sonic turned around and saw her knees on the rock. "Amy!"

He turned and saw water coming towards her. "Great," he angrily muttered walking the opposite direction to what he was walking to.

When the water approached the pile of rocks Amy was lying on the water stopped moving and stood still. Amy stared down at it still trying to get up but her leg stinged.

Out came a frog's face. It stared at her with its pale tan eyes. Amy held her breath and made no sudden move. She was perfectly still

The frog jumped out of the water and on the rock behind Amy. Its skin was a pale green and it was at least her height if Amy sat down crisscross.

"Pretty, come with me," The frog croaked.

Amy's eyes widened. "I-I'd rather not," she whispered.

The frog's eyes narrowed and its voice grew deeper. "Come with me!" it darkly demanded.

Amy crawled back. "No," she whimpered.

The frog's tongue came out and wrapped itself around Amy's wrist. "COOME!"

"No! Leave me alone!" Amy yelled trying to fight back.

Sonic walked over to where they argue. He made his way in front of the frog and the frog looked up. Sonic pulled his arm back then let it go, making contacted with the frog's face. The frog flipped backwards, falling into the water with a splash.

Amy got up and lifted her knee. "Oh, it hurts so much," she said, her voice low. Sonic stared down at her. "Hurry, get going," He told her turning back at the water. "I'll cover you,"

Amy nodded and did as told. Sonic turned and quickly followed behind.

Sonic reached Amy's side quickly then looked back taking a look, but didn't see the frog.

'Hmph, weak,"Sonic thought to himself.

He walked on to the next rock when he heard Amy speak. "Thank you,"

"You better be. I don't wanna waste any more time on trying to save you again," He rudely replied.

Just when he was about to walk to the next rock something wrapped around his leg and when he looked down, out of the water the frog's head popped, its tongue around his leg.

Sonic shook his leg trying to get it off but he couldn't. "Get off me you fucking piece of shit." he snarled.

Amy looked back and saw them. She narrowed her eyes but quickly something else distracted her.

She saw a sudden picture of movement of an animal stepping on its tongue by pulling it with his hand.

Amy blinked as she saw Sonic struggling to get free.

"Sonic step on its tongue and it'll let you go!" She yelled out. Sonic did as told and stepped on its tongue that was loose down on the rocks since the frog was climbing on the rocks.

The frog shrieked a loud noise and released his leg.

"Hurry," Amy said. Sonic jumped on rock to rock to get back to Amy's side. When he did Amy could now walk better then she could so she wasn't limping as much. "You okay?" she asked in a worry tone.

"Worry about yourself," Sonic replied back making Amy frown even more. "C'mon were almost there." Sonic pointed out.

Just as the two began to walk again a low scary voice moaned behind them.

"Uuuuuu"

"What's that?" Amy asked.

Turning around they seeing the frog with red eyeballs, its skin white and that it looked like it was ready to pounce at them.

"Shit," Sonic gasped and began to walk faster. Amy was still very slow caused of her ankle that still sting but only a little.

"Emy, come to me," it howled in a rocky accent.

"H-how does it know me name?" Amy asked scared to death. She was trying to get away and because of her quickness she almost slipped again.

"Heheh, Your all mine," the frog laughed evilly and it jumped up. Amy gasped seeing it had jump high and was coming down towards her.

Sonic angrily stared at the scene. "Run Amy!" Sonic yelled.

But she couldn't. She wouldn't make it either. All Amy could do was watch as the frog almost came down to her.

Suddenly a big giant fish came out of the water the size of a whale. It jumped over the pile of rocks and gobbled up the frog that was still in the air completely before splashing on the other side of the pile of rocks.

Amy screamed and moved quicker than ever for the water that the whale had splash on now created an effect and she needed to get away.

Sonic reached the other side of the road and ran away leaving Amy still on the rocks but just two more before land there. Amy struggled to get away because of her leg and got caught on the water that splashed down on her.

Sonic got out from behind a tree and saw Amy coughing on the floor, went but alive.

He smoothly walked to her, grinning.

Amy looked up and saw that grin so she angrily stared back.

"You okay?" he asked more in a mocking tone.

Amy stood up and went up to his face. "Why couldn't you have help?" she yelled from the top of her lungs.

Sonic rolled his eyes still holding his grin. "I did. Your alive, be happy," he told her.

Amy growled to herself and pushed him away. "You didn't help me pass the rocks. I hurt my ankle and all you could do was watch me drag my butt down there!" She snarled.

"All mobian for themselves. You're lucky I even helped you." Sonic angrily stated.

"We're in this together. If we want to survive then this is the only way." She told him.

Sonic turned around and began walking away. "Hey, where are you going? You've got a lot of nerve Sonic the hedgehog!" she scolded him.

"I really don't care," sonic said nonchalantly. "My hurt hurts causes of your yapping,"

"What! I'm not yapping!" She exclaimed angrily walking after him.

"Good. Now shut up"

Ah. The wonderful joy of team work. Well, kinda in this point. Review please.
