Wow a double update, you guys are lucky. Anyway, I've spent the whole day writing essays and I would've got them done sooner if I didn't spend time procrastinating by writing this chapter...I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. Thanks for the reviews and not many chapters are left now :(

7: Conflicting Emotions

Sonic was about to make a dash for Amy's front door when Luke suddenly walked out. Sonic froze and dived into the nearest bush and peeked out to see what the evil red hedgehog did next. Sonic watched as he gazed up at the moon with a thoughtful expression on his face before he reached down to place something in his bag, but dropped whatever it was without realising.

Sonic could just about make out the light reflecting off the small item, but couldn't quite tell what it was. Was Amy still in the house? Sonic twitched impatiently as he waited for Luke to leave, but regretted it as he accidently made a rustling noise.

Luke froze and Sonic held his breath as he sat as still as possible, hoping that Luke wouldn't come and investigate. Luckily, Luke shrugged it off and walked out of sight.

Sonic smirked before looking at Amy's house in concern and quickly ran over in a split second. He stopped to see what Luke had dropped and gasped at what he saw. He reached down and carefully picked the needle up and saw there was still a trace of the liquid left at the bottom. So he had been drugging her! He'd have to take it back for Tails for analysis so he kept a tight hold on it as he opened Amy's door without even knocking.

He made his way inside the ominously quiet, dark house and his ears pricked when he heard a small whimper.

"Amy!" Sonic called out as he followed the noise and gasped when he saw Amy struggling to get up off the kitchen floor.

"Amy, are you ok? Are you hurt?" He demanded as he gently helped her up.

She looked a little dazed for a few seconds before she beamed at him.

"I'm terrific!" Amy giggled. "Where's Luke?"

"Ummm…he just left." Sonic replied in confusion. "What happened Amy, why were you on the floor?"

Amy sighed. "Oh, I must have just tripped. I can be so clumsy sometimes. Especially when I'm thinking about my Luke." Amy answered dreamily as she placed a hand over her heart.

Sonic looked down at the needle in his hand and back at Amy.

"Look, Amy, I'm not too sure what's going on but you have to come with me right now." Sonic said as he grabbed hold of her hand, ignoring the tingling sensation he got from it, and began to try and pull her out the door.

"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Amy snapped and yanked her hand out of Sonic's.

Sonic's head snapped back around to look at her in shock. "Amy, please! I'm trying to protect you."

Amy shook her head. "I'm not going anywhere without Luke."

Sonic groaned in frustration. "Amy, Luke is bad! He seems to have drugged you."

"Oh don't be silly." Amy huffed. "Luke would never do anything like that to me."

"Wanna bet?" Sonic mumbled as he showed her the needle.

"Eww, where did you get that thing?" Amy shrieked as she backed away from it.

Sonic glared at her. "I found it outside your door; Luke dropped it."

"That doesn't mean I've been drugged. When Luke finds out you've been saying all this –"

"What?" Sonic interrupted with a smirk on his face. "Come after me and fight me again? I could totally take that pipsqueak any day."

Amy groaned. "Why do you hate Luke so much?"

"Have you not been listening to anything I've just said?" Sonic demanded as he grabbed her arms and stared into her jade green eyes, begging for her to listen to him. "He seems to have drugged you, you have to snap out of it Amy."

Amy felt weird as she stared into Sonic's eyes, but quickly shook the feeling off.

"Why do you care about me so much then? It doesn't matter what happens between me and Luke." Amy snapped.

"Because I l – that's not important." Sonic answered. "What is important is that I get you to safety and have Tails analyse this drug, with or without your permission."

"Hey!" Amy yelled as Sonic scooped her up in his arms and began running towards Tails' house.

"Let me go!" Amy begged as she thrashed around in his arms, but Sonic clung on tightly until he reached Tails' house. The light was still on in his workshop and immediately ran inside and placed Amy down before she could react.

Sonic quickly closed and locked the door behind him and Tails looked up from his project in confusion.

"What's going on?" The fox asked as Amy tried to run towards the door, but Sonic quickly grabbed her pinned her against the wall.

"Sonic what are you doing?!" Tails demanded in shock.

"Quickly, grab some rope or something, then I'll explain." Sonic pleaded and when Tails didn't move, Sonic ordered him, "GO!"

Tails, not wanting to argue with Sonic when he was in this hyper state quickly grabbed some rope and helped tie up the thrashing pink hedgehog.

"When Luke finds out about this you'll be sorry you stupid fast freak!" Amy screamed and Tails looked at her in shock.

"Is she ok?" Tails asked Sonic.

"No." Sonic replied and handed Tails the needle he had found. "I need you to analyse this quickly. Luke dropped it outside Amy's house after he left."

Tails took the needle off him and dripped some of the liquid inside under his microscope. He zoomed in and out as he stuck his tongue out in concentration. Sonic tapped his foot on the concrete floor impatiently as his eyes darted between watching Tails and Amy.

"Oh my goodness!" Tails gasped as he pulled his head away from the microscope.

"What is it?" Sonic asked, panicking.

"I can't believe it, you were right all along Sonic, I'm so sorry that I didn't believe you." Tails said, looking ashamed.

Sonic rolled his eyes. "We can worry about that later, what it is?"

"It's some sort of love drug." Tails explained. "It contains lots of norepinephrine and dopamine and Luke's DNA. This has made Amy think she is in love with Luke and subsequently has been able to control her while she is drugged. The question is though, why?"

Sonic frowned. "Do you hear that Amy, you don't really love Luke."

"I don't care!" Amy cried out and tears streamed down her face. "I just want my Luke!"

"A really powerful love drug." Tails mused as he watched Amy in shock. "But who exactly is Luke and why would he do such a thing?"

"Is there any way we can reverse it?" Sonic asked as Amy tried to wiggle out of the ropes and Sonic gasped when she succeed and quickly ran towards her and grabbed her to stop her from running off.

"Unfortunately not." Tails admitted. "We'll just have to wait for it to wear off and judging by the huge dose he gave her, it could take hours – maybe even days."

Sonic grunted as Amy tried to elbow him.

"We need to keep her from seeing Luke and when he comes looking for her, I'll be ready." Sonic smirked.

"We should seal her in a room that's more comfortable." Tails noted. "Somewhere she could sleep it off."

"She can just take my room." Sonic suggested. "I never use it anyway." He added as he tried to drag her up to the room, but Amy was one strong girl and it took all of his strength to pull the thrashing hedgehog up the stairs.

He dropped her in his room and she twisted around to glare at him.

"I'm sorry Amy, but you'll thank me later." Sonic said sadly before he gasped as Amy pulled out her hammer. "Ok, take it easy Amy, no need to use the hammer." Sonic said softly, trying to calm her down.

Amy shrieked and swung the hammer round and Sonic ducked as it narrowly missed his head. He dived out of the room and slammed the door before Amy could run out and quickly locked it behind him.

Sonic yelped as he heard her hammer slam against the door and small splinters of wood popped off as Amy tried to break out although she didn't seem to be using all her strength. He guessed the drug took a lot of energy out of her.

He quickly stood up and began pushing tables, chairs and anything else he could find against the door. He wasn't sure how much it would help, but he saw it on TV loads of times and figured it was worth a shot.

"Let me out right now!" Amy demanded.

"Sorry Amy, but you need to stay here until that drug wears off." Sonic sighed as he began walking down stairs.

His heart squeezed in his chest as he heard Amy's muffled cries and he hoped that this drug would wear off soon.
