Chapter 3:

 

When Amy entered the TV room, where she heard hushed whispers she felt something was out of place.

 

Why wasn't Tails making something explode, or Rouge and Knuckles silently arguing or Cream watching one of her soap operas that she loved so much, that she would literally sit in front of the wide screen, asking Pedro, or whatever the pretty boy's name was, why he left Maria for her mother.

 

The room became quiet as she made her presence known, her first intentions where to apologise for earlier, she had blown the hole situation completely out of proportion…but that Sonic, he just made her soo mad. However apologising would have to wait as she noticed the expression Rouge was giving her, Amy frowned, was there something on her face?

 

“Amy are you okay, you look really pale?” asked Rouge throwing Amy completely off guard.

 

“I'm fine” she answered back, wincing as her voice, screeched like nails on a black board. She cleared her throat, she was bout to tell them that she always went pale after a bad dream, but then again, if she mentioned she had a bad dream, that would involve telling them of the events that took place in that dream, and she would rather not do that.

 

She shivered just thinking about it, how could her imagination come up with something so violent, especially towards herself, it meant something, she was sure of it, she just didn't know what, was it supposed to be a warning, or just something that randomly happened in her head.

 

But then, she remembered the way, that monster dug its claws into her flesh on her shoulder, that place still felt tender and bruised even though there wasn't any blood, but she could have just hurt herself in her sleep, she had done it many times before, but once again she knew this wasn't one of those “many times.”

 

“Amy….AMY”

 

Amy snapped her eyes towards her sister, who was looking with concerned and worried eyes; she quickly pushed the bad dream and all other thoughts to the back of her mind, putting on her fake smile onto face.

 

“Oh sorry…lost in my own thoughts” she laughed at her own little joke, even though it wasn't funny, she just did it for the extra effect, after all laughter was contagious, so she knew her sister would stop worrying.

 

Sabrina watched her sibling closely, searching for a slight flaw, just in case she was hiding something, but when she found nothing, she sighed giving it up.

 

“Come on it's time for dinner, it's the boys turn to cook today” said Cream as they all began moving towards the kitchen, settling themselves around the large tables that had an even amount of food spread out around the table.

 

They all sat in silence, and when the boys settled themselves into their seat, they waited another thirty seconds before reaching for food, silently asking each other to pass around food.

 

A quiet cough broke through the peaceful resolve, they all paused eating and turned the direction of their gaze towards shadow, who acted as if he didn't notice their stares, carried on stuffing food into his mouth in a quick but neat manner.

 

“Sonic, I thought you said you were going to apologise” he simply implied, feeling a smirk threaten to take over his face.

 

The addressed blue hedgehog paused, confusion marring his features “apologise to whom, about what?”

 

Shadow waited until Sonic put a good amount of food into his mouth before...

 

“Oh don't you remember, you were telling me earlier, that you felt bad for what you did to Amy. You said you felt soo bad that you had to apologise for what happened”

 

He waited silently for what he said to register into Sonic's head, he watched as the blue hedgehog continuously chewed on his food, and just as he swallowed shadows words registered into his head, and he chocked.

 

`Success' Shadow thought silently.

 

Sonic was just about to open his mouth to protest, when he felt a sharp kick to his leg, he winced slightly, about to shout some sense into Knuckles as he was the only one who had the ability to kick or punch like that.

 

However, Sonic stopped himself as the look Knuckles gave him clearly told him he won't be able to get out of this, as he silently signalled towards Sabrina, Rouge and Cream who were waiting for him to apologise.

 

Sonic switched his gaze to Amy, she wasn't really paying attention to what had happened in the last few seconds, she had a far away look in those jade eyes….they really were and usual colour if you looked really close you would see different flecks of silver, `I wonder what she thinking..'

 

“Well Sonic what are you waiting for?” Sonic felt like lunging across the table to take the pestering smirk permanently of off Shadows face.

 

He sighed, knowing that Shadow had planned this out perfectly in only a matter of minutes, when his guard was down.

 

He cleared his throat, whilst everyone waited for him to mutter out three words ` Amy I'm sorry'.

 

However, that task proved to be more difficult to Sonic as he open his mouth to speak “I…maybe I did say some things that were…em…out of line... And maybe I did say some things to get a rise out of you, and I shouldn't have.” The whole time he glared hatefully at the plate of food in front of him, and when he looked up at Amy, he was shocked when she still had the same faraway look in her eyes- if not further, Sonic felt his temper flare.

 

“Hello Amy did you not here what I said” he was not going to have his pride take a beating for nothing.

 

Amy turned her eyes toward Sonic, as he addressed her, her eyes turning into a glare “what?”

 

Sonic glared back just as hard “did you not hear me apologising to you?” his voice had a certain edge.

 

Knuckles, Tails, Rouge, Cream and Sabrina couldn't help but glare at Shadow and his sadistic sense of humour.

 

“So you apologised big deal, what do you want a medal, you certainly don't deserve one, cause as far as I'm concerned that was the shittiest apology I've ever heard”

 

Sonic growled, his quills stood on end “you snobby little…”

 

“Bitch!” Amy supplied when Sonic stopped, “Is that what you wanted to say, come on Sonic why didn't you say it? I mean you've always hated me right? I was always pest?” Amy stopped for a millisecond to analyse the way everyone's eyes widened in shock “and now I'm a bitch because it took a lot of your pride to apologise to someone you always thought was beneath you. So for me to throw the apology or what you call an apology into your face sets you off.”

 

By now, Amy was leaning across the table, staring at Sonic with…pity.

 

He didn't want pity, he didn't need it, especially not from her.

 

He was Sonic the hedgehog, he was a hero everyone respected, some people even wanted to be him, but Amy. The same girl who had the same obsessive crush on him until recently, didn't like him anymore, he knew she had matured, became a young woman, she no longer looked at him like her was her world, she no longer found adoration in every little thing that he did.

 

For some reason this annoyed him greatly. He didn't know how to deal with her or, the new her, she knew how to anger him, pin point all of his flaws and rub it in his face. Therefore, he only found it fair that he knew how to anger her, and pin point all her flaws and rub in her face, but at the same time, he still wanted to protect her, just like he did when they had an argument before, yet he would always wonder why he would do it. However, he never did hate her, or think she was beneath him, was her really that bad?

 

It was and endless circle that drove him mad. He could only glare as Amy left the kitchen. He settled his blazing emerald eyes on Shadow, the smirk still firmly in place.

 

Before Sonic knew what he was doing he lunged across the table, his fist only a centimetre from his face, before he was abruptly pulled back.

 

He started muttering curses, as he struggled to free himself from Knuckles tight grip.

 

Shadow chuckled, “look at you, do you have any idea how utterly stupid you look at the moment?”

 

Sonic growled more “you fucking prick, you fucking bastard, you did that all on purpose, what was the point?”

 

Shadow stopped abruptly, staring Sonic straight in eye “don't get bitchy with me just because your confused about your feelings for the girl. What's the matter Sonic did I hit a sore spot. Get over yourself, you selfish prick, she's over you, you lost your chance along time ago….she doesn't love you anymore.”

 

Those words struck home, Sonic instantly stopped moving, and he barley acknowledged all the lights in the house black out and a pair of red eyes moved pass the kitchen window…

 

 

 

CHOSEN

 

Amy sighed, as she felt her chest tighten whenever her heart took a beat a dull ache would course through her veins.

 

What was happening to her?

 

She barely registered, when the whole house fell pitch dark and silent. She let out a shaky breath as she put her hand in front of her to try to find something to support her, she gasped and fell back when her hand felt something Furry make contact with her.

 

She let out a cry of pain as her back connected with something sharp, she looked to her left and saw those red gleaming eyes that chilled her to the body to the bone, but when she looked back, the eyes had disappeared.

 

Amy wasted no time in moving quickly to the nearest room. She opened the door, locking it twice, as she pressed her back to the door to catch her breath. It was happening again, those eyes, those bloodthirsty red eyes that haunted her.

 

She tried the lights, which didn't come on, she sighed as she moved away from the door, it was just her head playing tricks on her she concluded. She noticed a mirror in the middle of the room, she lifted up the back of her shirt, staring at the not too deep bloody cut, when she heard the beastly grow, she gasped still staring in the mirror as she looked into a pair of red eyes.

 

However, when Amy looked in front of her she saw nothing, but she could hear the growls, she could hear that the monster thirsting to capture her.

 

She wasted no time running towards the door, completely forgetting that she had locked the doors. She pulled furiously at the door, hitting it rapidly hoping for someone to help her.

 

She could feel it creeping up her, she screamed when she felt a sharp pain on her left, then another on her right. She fought as much as she could against it, she didn't know if it was her mind messing with her or if it was really happening.

 

Her body slammed into the mirror and small fragments pierced her flesh, her voice was bordering on insanity when her skull abruptly collided violently against the wall, her vision slowly going blurry, the last thing she could remember were those red eyes before everything stopped and her eyelids closed.

 

CHOSEN

 

“That's strange, the power in the house is completely shut down, I can't even turn it back on from the main switch” said Tails

 

“Ssshhh, do you hear that?” asked Knuckles. The room went deadly silent as they tried to listen for any unusual sounds, but they heard none.

 

“What did you hear Knuckles?” asked Tails.

 

Knuckle shrugged his shoulders “it sounded a bit like someone screaming then a faint crash and then silence. It was probably just my imagination.”

 

“Tails do you have any ideas where the power was switched off from” asked Shadow.

 

“Probably from the main switch, it seems all the lights in the neighbourhood have been turned off, so even if I fix it from here the power still won't come on.” The fox replied.

 

“Okay, I guess I'll go find some candles, where do you keep them?” asked Rouge, Knuckles told her to follow him to basement to get the candles, Whilst Shadow, Sabrina, Sonic, Cream and Tails stayed in the kitchen.

 

 

CHOSEN

 

 

“Urgh, I hate basements they give me the creeps, theres always something waiting to jump you in the dark” shivered Rouge.

 

“I thought you bats can see in the dark?” questions Knuckles.

 

“Yeah well, as you know I'm a very strange bat, I didn't exactly develop that skill” she answered.

 

“That ain't the only skill you haven't developed,” muttered Knuckles

 

“Did you say something” was the reply he received right after those words left his mouth.

 

“Me? No” he couldn't help grinning. Knuckles grabbed the doorknob, watching as Rouge stared at it anxiously, he pushed open the door, watching the staircase disappear in the darkness He stepped in, taking another step, he turned around to see Rouge still at the entrance, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.

 

“Are you coming, or are you just going to stand there?” he demanded.

 

Rouge huffed slightly, but reluctantly stomps down the stairs, and when she finally reached Knuckles, she jumped when the door slammed shut.

 

“Great now we're locked in here,” exclaimed Knuckles as he continued to descend the rest of the stairs.

 

“Locked in here, you can't be serious”

 

“Afraid so, the only way we can get out is if one of the others opens the door from the other side.”

 

Rouge huffed in frustration “whatever, lets just find some damn candles so that we figure out how to get out of hear, I doubt the other will be able to hear us.”

 

Therefore, the next fifteen minutes were spent wondering aimlessly through the dark, looking through boxes, and stumbling over objects.

 

Rouge was looking her fourth box, when relief shot through her, as she unloaded the box of candles… When she stopped abruptly… something had grabbed her leg, but when she looked down nothing was there. It happened again she looked down But saw nothing.

 

“Knuckles?” she called out. She didn't receive any answer, she tried again, but she didn't hear anything, she turned around and…

 

“BOO!”

 

Rouge yelled her heart on the verge of a heart attack. “Man, Rouge you watch too may horror movies, you should have seen your face it was like this” Knuckles pulled a ridiculous face; he stopped abruptly, waiting for Rouge to explode.

 

“I'm glad you found taking a good ten years off my life very entertaining, but if you ever and I mean ever pull that stunt on me again, I swear to God you chauvinistic pig that you will…”

 

Rouge's voice was cut off, when she felt something sharp trace her arm, she glared at knuckles “would you cut it out”

 

“Cut what out?” his voice sounded genuinely confused.

 

“What you're doing with your hands,” she practically shouted.

 

“I'm not doing anything with my hands” and to show he was telling the truth her put his hands in front of him.

 

It was at that exact moment, they both heard it.

 

It was a chilling growl and laugh, that made the atmosphere in the basement drop down to freezing point, it was loud and mocking sharp, sharp enough to make the flow of blood in you stop, and your heart would clench in fear beating irregularly.

 

“Who's there?” called Knuckles guarding himself.

 

It continued to laugh, its body camouflaged in the dark, as a pair of blood red eyes made themselves known, whatever it was, was growling, it's movements were quick and calculated, that Rouge was taken of guard when she felt a quick and sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She watch in horror as liquid stained her snow white fur and slowly pool down to the floor.

 

Knuckles watched as Rouge gasped for breath torn between, Identifying who their unannounced visitor was and helping Rouge, as he watched her struggle to breath.

 

He was taken off guard when a large beast the size of vehicle pounded on him, its teeth barred and bloody, as it hungrily over powered Knuckles, sinking its fangs into his shoulder.

 

But Knuckles refused to give up, despite his pain he managed to kick the beast off of him, only to be taken back down to the floor, he felt the air escaped his body, as the beast used its weight to crush his bones.

 

He felt his body being lifted off the floor, only to be brought back to it brutally, he felt his fur cut open as his blood stained the cold floor, the last thing he heard was the loud triumphant yowl from the beast, as it settled once again into the darkness….
