Chapter 4: Tricked Again

About an hour later:

"Sir?" the doctor walked into the waiting room, "She is very lucky."

Scourge sat up, "What happened to her? I mean I know her. I just saw her yesterday."

"It seems to be blunt force trama," said the doctor, "It was like a shovel or something of that manner was struck against her. Who ever did this to her must be one powerful individual."

"Oh my!" Scourge's eyes lowered, as he mumbled under his breath, " I'll get who ever did this to my queen."

"Well you may go see her now." said the Doctor.

The green hedgehog stood up and walked through a couple double doors that led into Amy's room.

Scourge looked over at the pink hedgehog who was lying there with bandages and her eyes swollen shut, she appeared to be sleeping.

"She will be well within the next few hours sir," said the Doctor, " But for now, there is a small couch on where you can rest."

Scourge simply nodded as he stared tearfully at Amy Rose.

I knew it was wrong of me to let you go.


"Shadow! Shadow!" Sonic shook the black hedgehog who laid on his belly on the couch, "Wake up! WAKE UP!"

"PLAP!"

The blue hedgehog was laid out, "Shut up faker. I'm up." growled the onyx hedgehog before opening his red eyes.

"Damn Shadow, you could have said something other than punch me!" Sonic rubbed his sore nose.

"I just felt like punching you any way."

"Now Shadow," called Ames, " That's not nice."

Sonic continued rubbing his nose, "I guess you haven't known him long enough."

Ames looked at Shadow. The black hedgehog gave her a smug look and shrugged.

"SONIC!" screamed Tails running through the door, "Look what I found inside the Tornado."

The fox held out another recorder.

"Where in the world is he getting thease suckers from?" asked Shadow.

Rouge walked in, "He must have known we were taking the Tornado."

"Let's see what it says." said Ames.

Sonic pushed play.

"DO WHAT?!?" screamed a rash voice.

"You heard me."

Sonic paused it, "Isn't that Knuckles?"

"Sounds like it," replied Rouge.

He clicked play again.

"You aren't trying to trick me are you?" asked Knuckles.

"Now why would I try to trick you when it comes to something as serios as protecting your emerald?"

"He didn't." stated Sonic.

"SHHHHH…."

"Sorry."

"But don't get mad at me for telling you what he told me the other day when we were fighting. I guess he just let it slip."

"Grrrr… I'd like to see him try."

"Well you better be careful you hear me. I heard they are bringing Rouge along."

"The ding bat jewl thief? That does it! You have convinced me. I won't let him with in a thousand feet of this island much less, on it."

"Well I've got to go."

"Thanks for the info."

They heard a few foot stepps, "Hey blue. Try to calm ole knuckle head down for me will ya?"

A small laugh was heard right before the tape stopped.

"Damn him." cried Shadow.

"How many times will he realize he's been tricked too much?" asked Rouge.

"Well that's Knuckle Head for you. He's numb headed and a fist talker."


Amy's eyes slowly opened, she was surprised to see they could open. The swelling had gone down, and she now looked normal thanks to high tech medicines and treatments.

She sat up and looked around, "I'm in a hospital?" Amy then jumped when she saw Scourge, but she took a sigh of relief when she realized he was asleep.

"Did he bring me here?"

She looked to the other side of the bed, and on a small table was a green vase of flowers arranged with roses, daisies, and baby's breath. In it was also a small balloon that said "Get Well."

"What's going on?"

Amy turned her head again and jumped when she was staring in a pair of ice blue eyes.

"Oh Amy, you're alright!" cried Scourge jumping with joy.

"Get away from me!" she pulled her feet up to her.

He stopped jumping, "Why are you acting like that?" asked Scourge who was suprized by this sudden move.

"You nearly killed me." screamed Amy.

"No. I didn't," said Scourge, " Why would I wan't to kill you?"

"Scourge, You. Hit. Me. With. A. Shovel." said Amy sternly.

" Where are you getting all of this? I found you right after I returned here from Anti-Mobius"

"Scourge! Quit trying to pull my leg, It's not working." screamed Amy.

"Why would I pull your leg like this?" asked Scourge more confused than ever, "Espectially when it comes to something as serious as you nearly dying? I was Scared."

"Scourge What…." Amy stopped, "You were….

The green hedgehog's eye swelled with tears.

"You don't remember do you?" asked Amy.

"All I remember was finding you and running you here. I save your life and then you blame me for inflicting thease wounds on you?" He hung his head, "It hurts my heart."

"Scourge, I just…."

"You just what?"

"I just don't understand, why do you think I'd lie, when I know you did inflict this on me." She turned and looked at the flowers, "You have changed."

"What do you mean I've changed?" asked the green hedgehog.

"Just a day ago, you were, in a weird way fine. A few hours ago you beat me nearly to death, and now you buy me flowers."

"I still don't remember hurting you."

"Scourge."

"Yes?"

"I belive I figured out what is wrong. You have a split personality, one more over powering than the other. One is this one and the other is an abusive one."

"So you are saying I did do this to you?"

Amy nodded slowly, "Yes."

He dropped toward the couch, and his ears folded down, "I'm sorry."

Amy sighed, "I know, and I belive you, but I'm still scared of you."

"Why?"

"You could still go back to your other personalities at anytime."
