Beware: THIS CHAPPIE IS DARK! Kinda, I'm sure it's not bothersome.
? (Sonic's POV) May 13th 10:46 AM
I've been running for hours. I don't know where I'm at, I just wanna keep running.
Running….
Running….
Running….
That's how I solve all of my problems. It works most of the time anyway…
Whenever I run it makes me feel safer, stronger,
Alive.
I don't know what came over me whenever Cream was wanting to help me. I felt rage, in a good way. This isn't normal, I don't act like this. Why does the world act like this? I can't stand it! It makes me so angry! I'm now at the point to where I snap whenever people help me out, or are concerned about me.
Am I depressed? angry? or both?
This is confusing, I just need to run…
Running….
Running….
Running….
Just Run.
Run from your problems.
Running….
Running….
Running….
Before I knew it, I was lost.
I was stuck in a thick, dark forest. It was too dark, in fact that I could barely see. It confused me, isn't it late morning. I was shivering, was I cold? scared? It made my head hurt, everything hurt. I wanted Amy very badly, she comforts me whenever I'm feeling down or hurt. "What is going on with me?!" I screamed at the dark around me.
My chest was throbbing from pain, it acted like this whenever I was changing into,
Dark Sonic.
Of course I would change, I'm angry, but I don't feel like I have something that completes it. I held onto my chest as I cringed "Ugh" was the only thing that could escape my lips. I felt like I was going to pass out from this pain, I felt like I was dying. I screamed with all my might, hoping someone would find me. At some point I was actually crying from this unbearable pain. Soon everything was going dark, I wasn't tired. I just couldn't take this pain anymore. The last thing I saw was a figure walking towards me.
I passed out.
Grassy Plains (Amy's POV) May 13th 12:17 PM
"SONIC!" I yelled at the plains filled with lush grass, that even the most sturdy could fall asleep on. I must've yelled for his name so many times, that my throat was starting to hurt.
I traveled inland for awhile, I couldn't even see civilization now. I was starting to wish I brought food and ate breakfast, because now my belly groaned every step I took.
I wanted to head back, but I wasn't going to. This was for Sonic, he has done so much for me over the past year. He is a real gentleman, I can't tell if he is doing it because I'm royalty unfortunately.
"Of course not! Sonic loves me for who I am! Not what I am!" I cheered to no one, it still made me blush in embarrassment.
I don't really know what to say about my dream last night. Was it real? If this is true, I get to see my parents! But why am I not overjoyed? I feel, normal. Like I knew this would happen. I looked down at my necklace that laid upon my neck. To my appeal, it was glowing.
"Huh?" I said quietly, before I knew it, the light had faded dim. Why was it glowing anyway? I walked for another hour, and to my surprise. I saw a few rugged mountains, and a castle. The light was shining brightly above the foundation. I knew where I was.
The Dark Kingdom, my home.
? (Sonic's POV) May 13th 12:21 PM
...Your…
...Living…
...a…
...LIE…
I awoken to the thoughts that echoed throughout my head. I shook my head as I sat up. "Ugh, wh-where am I?" Indeed I was right, where the hell was I? It was an enclosed space filled with complete darkness with a radiant dark purple aura.
I had no answer, was I asleep? I only remember passing out from my chest pains. I started to think about my friends, and importantly Amy. I ran away and screamed at Cream and Cheese. Amy was probably awoken by that, is she worried? What did Cream tell her? My stomach turned just by thinking. I let them down.
"DAMMIT SONIC!" I screamed in my mind. I was out of breath and my chest still burns. I held onto it to ease the pain, of course that didn't work. Honestly, I am scared out of my mind. Where am I? Where are my friends? I felt like nothing.
"Scared, are we now?"
I reacted with a defensive stance. "Who the hell are you?!" I then shivered. "Where...are you?" This voice seemed traumatic and so familiar.
"HAHAHAHA!"
My heart stopped just by hearing a laugh like that, it was deep and ominous. "Hu-Huh?" I whimpered.
"Don't remember me, do you?"
I shook my head lightly, I wanted out of here now! I felt defeated. Did I know this person before?
"Well then, Maurice, REMEMBER NOW!?"
No.
He didn't say that.
He couldn't have.
I instantly grabbed my head, I was remembering something I shouldn't of have.
Everything was a complete blur around me once again, IT HURTS! This wasn't just a chest pain, EVERYTHING HURT! My anger raised, my veins were about to explode, my blood boiled. I let it out.
I completely lost it. "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT!, YOU FUCKING DEMON!" Suddenly to my surprise, I was grabbed by two bloody arms from the walls of the enclosed room. "WHAT THE FUCK?!" I tried to break free, but 'it was no use.'
"You're living a lie, Maurice."
The hands dragged me until I hit the wall. "ARGH!" I screamed.
"It's time to live up to your full potential, Maurice."
I saw a dark aura form, it showed a figure.
It was Dark Sonic.
"BU-BUT HOW?!" I screamed at my dark clone. How was he another entity?
"All will be told within time, Maurice."
He raised his hand, I suddenly felt very weak. What is he doing to me? I felt like I was withering away. As to my surprise, a chaos emerald appeared within his clutch.
It was a black gemstone, it was the eighth emerald.
"THAT BELONGS TO AMY!" I shouted at him.
He didn't answer me as he was generating energy. It looked like an energy beam? This was from the chaos emerald! Before I could say another word, Dark Sonic shot at me. It hit me in the chest. My eyes widened, I didn't feel pain at all. But I couldn't speak at the moment, it was like I was in a daze.
"You lack control, Maurice, let me do it for you."
I was screaming on the inside, I was so vulnerable. I couldn't talk, move, or even think. Dark Sonic approached me and put his hand on my head. It then started to glow and I felt incredibly dizzy.
"Do you know what Maurice means."
Dark Sonic shown a creepy smile as the hands opened my mouth. He started to change into black ooze. He entered my mouth. It felt like a swarm of bugs enter you. I couldn't stop this! What was he doing?! I felt like I was going to vomit.
Soon the hands faded into blood, leaving me fall limp. A few tears fell from my eyes as I curled up like a puppy. I couldn't speak at all but choke a few sobs. My body hurt, I didn't know where I was, and I wanted Amy.
My eyes were starting to droop, was I dying? Everything was disappearing into pitch black, even though it couldn't get even darker. The last words then came to me as they echoed through my mind.
"It means dark one."
Dark Kingdom (Amy's POV) May 13th 12:34 PM
I approached the gate entrance to the kingdom, they had the Rosedaree symbol. My stomach had a knot in it, these were my people. How would they react when they see me? It surely has been awhile and I left them without a ruler. I just left after I freed them! What a princess I am.
I had no choice to come here, I was starving. I'm sure Sonic is fine, he can take anything. I gulped as I raised my knuckle to the gates. "Here goes." I then knocked on the gate. I waited a while until I heard a creak. My heart stopped, he gates were opening.
A bright light blinded me through the crack of the gates. I heard joyful laughter and conversations as well. As foolish as I was, I walked right through the thin line of the gates. I was inside. As soon as I walked in, the chatter had stopped. "Do they recognize me?" I finally opened my eyes, of course, everyone was staring at me with wide eyes.
I gulped, there was complete silence. I couldn't read anyone's eyes. They were all dressed as in medieval times. Did these people know what generation were in? I gathered my courage to speak "Hel-" I was soon cut off by cheers of every resident.
"PRINCESS AMELIA!" They all shouted as they ran toward me. They gave me hugs and kisses as I heard everyone shout with glee.
"Where have you been?"
"How are you?"
"We missed you!"
I smiled at this, I guess my kingdom is doing fine. "Yep thats right! Princess Amelia is back!"
"WOOHOO! THIS CALLS FOR A FEAST!" I heard someone shout and everyone agreed. Maybe I could stay for a while.
Spirit Realm (Mephiles' POV) May 13th 12:19 PM
Crystal and I were star gazing, this place was incredible. The grass had life, the stars twinkled, and the worked never ends. "That was the most fun I've had in a long time, Mephiles!" I heard Crystal giggle. Without hesitation I gave an uneasy answer. "Indeed so."
Crystal just rolled her eyes and gave me a direct answer. "Do you even care that Amelia was here?" She caught my attention, but she always knows how to do that. I wasn't sure what to answer, Honestly I knew that Amelia would appear. It was the lockets doing, but it chose the wrong time to work it's magic.
I looked at her and stared into her eyes. They were so calming and angelic. "Crystal, my sweet, of course I was glad to see her." I put my arm around her. "I just have a bad feeling, the mortal realm is in danger." Crystal gasped as she bit her lip. "How so?"
"I'm not so sure, it's some essence of a dark force that has been reawakened." I sighed. Crystal looked curious but yet worried. "So this essence has existed before?"
"That seems as if right." I snapped my fingers and suddenly everything changed into a shrine. In the middle was a mirror. This allowed us to watch over Amelia, it's our parent instincts. The Rosedaree locket was the source. "Why are we here?" Crystal guessed at me.
"I need to watch Amelia, she could be in trouble." I looked down at the mirror and it showed my sweet daughter. Crystal couldn't argue with me, but I could sense she was at a lost for words. I sighed and looked back, she seemed very worried, I approached her. "My wife, my dearest apologies, I don't mean to scare you."
Crystal looked down "It's not me you have to worry about, it's her." She pointed over at the projection of Amelia on the mirror. It seemed she was walking in the fields. Looking for someone, this made both of us curious, so we both walked over to watch.
"She's calling for her love, Sonic." Crystal told me. "That's quite mischievous." I replied right back at her. Suddenly the mirror was starting to glow, along with the locket. "Mephiles, what's happening?!" Crystal yelled at me.
"Someone is tampering with the emerald."
