10Hello my lovelies! I'll be naming each chapter after a Sonic X episode, I thought it'd be pretty cool to do that since this story ties in with the series. But Here it is, Chapter 2! Reviews, favorites, and follows are much appreciated, also with my other story Roses Turn Blue, enjoy!
Chapter Two: A New Start
Hours after Eggman's destruction on the city, the police took him away to the asylum, not really caring about his injuries. People were now trying to continue their normal lives as if nothing had occurred, but obviously that was difficult to achieve. Eggman's robot wrecked office buildings and various other places in Station Square. Some apartments and houses were destroyed also, including Amy's.
The pink hedgehog approached her now demolished residence, seeing that everything was burned to a crisp and buried under tons of bricks. She stared in disbelief, shaking her head and began to breathe hard as tears formed in her jade orbs.
My home…
Moments later, Amy called her insurance company, they told her her home will be rebuilt as soon as possible, but until then she would have to live elsewhere. She sighed heavily as she hung up the phone after thanking them. She could stay with Cream, but she was taking care of Tails, and of course she didn't want to be a burden on them. She thought of Rouge, but she was currently on a G.U.N mission and didn't want to stay in her household alone. She had one other option though…
Sonic sat on his sofa, exhausted from the events that took place earlier. He had something inside of him, and that wasn't good. After what he did to Eggman, he felt sick to his stomach, and felt like a threat to everyone around him. He had to figure out what exactly was happening to him.
He then heard a soft knock upon his front door, breaking his train of thought. He raised an eyebrow, wondering who was here. He looked through his peep hole and saw a cloud of pale pink hair. He opened the door to see Amy standing there with tear-stained cheeks and red eyes. She had a bag full of clothes and other supplies Sonic couldn't exactly make out. He widened his eyes at the sight of the once full of life girl like this, he hated seeing people upset, especially her.
"Amy?"
"I-I didn't know where else to go." She croaked. He deeply frowned at her, realizing her situation. He pulled her in for a tight embrace. She buried her face into his shoulder and let out her emotions. She hated crying in front of people, but this was different. She had never been homeless before. She pulled away from the hug gently and buried her face into her palms.
"I'm sorry Sonic, I shouldn't have came here."
He glanced sternly at her. "Amelia Rose, you know you can always, and I mean ALWAYS stay here. That's what bestfriends are for." He winked at her. She blushed lightly and wiped away her tears.
"I won't be here for long, I'm waiting on Blaze to get me." She declared. Sonic then shook his head at her. "No Ames, you're staying here." She furrowed her brows at him.
"Sonic it's fine."
"Blaze lives all the way across town, it wouldn't be convenient for you. You see why we only see her once every 3 months!" He exclaimed as she began to giggle at him. Her smiled faded and she sighed.
"Sonic-"
"I insist. It won't be a problem, after all I have plenty of space."
The two fell in silence before she spoke and grinned. "Alright. But I promise my house will be done in 2 weeks then I'll be gone."
Sonic put his hands in a surrender position in the air. "Stay as long as you want." The sakura girl smiled ear to ear at him and hugged him tightly, causing him to lose breath. "Thank you!"
"No…..problem….Ames." He choked out. She then immediately let him go and sheepishly smiled at him. "Sorry."
He chuckled at her rubbing his neck. "You're good. You still have a man grip I see."
She playfully acted like she was offended. "Man grip?!"
He laughed at her. "Wow Ames, didn't know you were more of a man than me."
She hit his arm and growled as he laughed even more. He smiled suddenly faded as he thought about the voice. He had to control himself around Amy, there's no way he would let her find out.
"Tails buddy, how ya feeling?" The blue hero asked worriedly. Tails was sent to the hospital to treat his broken leg, luckily there was nothing too serious but a few other cuts and bruises. Thank Chaos it wasn't any worse than that. Sonic hated he couldn't prevent it from happening, but it could've been more catastrophic.
"I'm fine for the umpteenth time," He laughed at his older brother figure "It's just a broken leg."
Sonic just frowned at him. Amy glanced at him, finding it cute how he was in his big brother mode. "Sonic it's fine. The doctor said it will heal in a few weeks." She said reassuringly. He sighed at her. "Okay, but Tails don't hesitate to call us if you need anything, you hear me?"
The kitsune laughed at him again. "I won't, but Cream will take good care of me."
Speaking of the little rabbit, she waltzed into the hospital room, carrying a bag full of snacks. She smiled at them. "Hello everyone."
They all greeted her, and she looked towards Tails way and frowned. "Sweetie are you alright?" He smiled at her. "I'm fine Cream, don't start acting like Sonic over here."
They all chuckled as Sonic reddened. "Whatever! I'm just looking after you." He said stern.
"And I appreciate it more than you know bro, but I meant to ask you something." Tails stated in a serious tone.
Sonic froze, hoping it wouldn't be about that.
Please don't...
"Uh, sure buddy, What is it?"
"What happened to you earlier?" Tails asked curiously.
And there it is.
"What do ya mean?" He said, trying to play dumb, but nobody was buying it. Amy raised a brow at him as Tails furrowed his. Cream just stood there with a perplexed expression, considering she wasn't aware of what they were talking about.
"You know what I mean, You….you weren't yourself."
The last thing Sonic wanted to do was worry his friends about his well being. There's no way in hell he could tell him he has an evil side when he's supposed to be labeled as a hero.
Go on and tell them Sonic.
Sonic slightly jumped at the sound of the voice again. "No, I can't!"
Tails, Amy, and Cream all exchanged glances and looked at him bewildered. He glanced at them before he heard the voice again.
Stop being a coward hedgehog.
"You're the fucking coward! I won't tell them!" He then dashed out of the door with his friends calling after him.
As he was running, the voice spoke to him again.
This is the perfect time to teach you what is to be done with this world.
"Who are you?! How did you get into my head?" Sonic asked frustratedly.
I've been with you all of your life, you're just now accustomed to me Maurice.
Sonic stopped his tracks. "Maurice? Who is that?"
You, it is who you really are, not this Sonic character, you are meant to be something much more.
Sonic furrowed his brows, why did that name actually seem familiar? "Look, what is it going to take for you to leave the hell alone, I want nothing to do with you-"
You shut your mouth. You're forgetting I control you now.
Suddenly, Sonic felt the same skull-crushing headache he felt earlier. He screamed in agony as his heart started to race also.
"AGHHHH! ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! JUST STOP!" he pleaded. The pain instantly ceased and he heard ringing in his ears. He panted heavily. He hated this feeling, this weak feeling, he was just being treated like a puppet.
That's better. You will begin training soon. So be prepared at any moment.
"Training for what?"
He heard nothing else, the voice disappeared. He felt his body relaxing, but he knew whatever this training was, couldn't turn out well.
Amy crept into the living room in search of the blue hedgehog, but still no trace of him anywhere. She was worried about him, it had been hours since she last saw him, and it was beginning to get dark outside. In her mind, she thought maybe she should call for help, but her heart told her he's just fine. It was as if she knew he was okay, and that he was close by. Suddenly, she saw the door open and met face to face with a pair of lime green eyes. Sonic stood there with a nervous smile scratching the back of his head, knowing Amy wasn't too amused.
"Heyyyyyy-"
"Are you serious right now? What is wrong with you!" She spat.
"Amy I can explain."
"Please do." She stood firm on the ground with her arms crossed and her feet tapping impatiently. He sighed at her.
Okay maybe I can't explain.
"I just needed fresh air." He finally said. She just looked at him, but decided to drop the subject, because she could sense his tenseness.
"Well….alright." She then sat on the couch, arms still crossed. He looked at her, then took a seat right next to her. "Let me make it up to ya."
There was a short pause, then Amy smirked at Sonic. "Fight me."
Sonic blinked at the pink girl. "Huh?"
"Fight me. Let's practice combat on each other." She said confidently raising from her seat. Sonic nervously shifted in his seat. He thought back to the voice again. If he were to fight Amy, he was sure to hurt her right? "I don't think so Amy."
The sakura girl groaned. "Oh cmon, you said you wanted to make it up to me, let me practice with you."
He sat there contemplating on what to do, he couldn't hurt her right? The voice was gone, for now anyways.
"You've got yourself a fight Ms. Rose." He said with a determined smirk.
Sonic groaned as he lifted weights, sweat dripping along his skin and fur lightly. Amy was stretching across the floor on her yoga mat, inhaling and exhaling to calm herself. She suddenly heard the loud banging sound of him setting his weights down. She playfully rolled her eyes. "Could you be any louder?"
He gave her a cocky smile. "Sorry Ames, ready to train now?" She gazed upon his toned body, noticing his muscles flaunting. She was in a slight daze, until Sonic interrupted it. "Ames?"
She quickly shook her thoughts. "Uh, yeah." She said awkwardly, making her way to the training room as he looked at her questionably.
When they made it there, they took a good distance apart from each other. "Just to warn you, I'm-" Sonic was cut off by Amy's swing of her Piko Piko hammer, barely dodging it. She smiled triumphantly at him. He frowned at her. "Hey, no weapons!"
She then rolled her eyes. "Fine." After tossing her hammer to the side, she charged towards him. He countered her next hit using his super speed, then locking her arms behind her back. She struggled for a moment, but finally got out of his grip by kicking his shin. He yelped and instantly let go. The two went back and forth for a few minutes until Amy tripped and landed on top of Sonic, then pinning him down.
Their faces were only inches apart. Amy blushed a little realizing what they were doing, but she just wanted to win the fight so she stayed put. Sonic struggled against her grip, not because she was 'stronger', but because of their position. She was sitting on his hips with her hands gripping his wrists by the side of his head, both of them panting heavily. She didn't know this position was making him seriously turned on.
She noticed him trying to break free, which caused her to grip harder. "Nope. You're not leaving until you forfeit." She said smirking, thinking she had won. Her smile then faded slowly as she felt a foreign feeling push up between her legs, it was firm. Her eyes widened, realizing what was happening.
Is he…?
"You're not even trying." She spoke again, trying to get the blue blur to say something and trying to distract herself from the firmness between her legs. Suddenly, Sonic growled, his eyes turning completely white losing the green color, his fur turning navy blue as he pushed her hard off of him, causing her to knock into the wall behind them. He then grabbed her and pinned her against the wall, his pulsing erection pressing against her leg. "Did I fucking try now?" He growled in a deep, demanding voice.
He snapped out of it suddenly and climbed off of her in utter horror. She was unconscious, and he started breathing hard while shaking. He should've known he would do this, well that damned voice. That wasn't him, he would never ever intentionally hurt Amy. It all happened so fast, he didn't even realize what had happened, it was like he blacked out. He slowly hovered over her, and she sat up rubbing the back of her head. She glared at him.
"Geez Sonic, could you try not to hit me so hard next ti-" She stopped her own speech as she watched him run away from the scene, leaving her with wide eyes.
Amy knocked on Sonic's bedroom door lightly. A few seconds later, He opened it, showing his dull eyes. She instantly knew he had a lot on his mind.
"I pushed you too hard today, I'm sorry.." She said sincerely.
Sonic began to shake his head vigorously. "No, It's mine. I would never intentionally try to hurt you like that."
"Then why did you…" She asked softly. There was a long pause. Sonic felt horrible and regretted even fighting her, but he just couldn't bring himself to tell her. He just wanted to protect her.
"I…..I wasn't myself." He said in a low tone. She looked up at him with concerned eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Sonic didn't respond, he just started to close his door. "I'll see you in the morning." The door shut, leaving her alone in the hallway.
Can't say I'm proud of this chapter, I expected it to be longer. Writing long chapters are so hard for me ugh! But I'm really trying, hopefully I improve with that throughout my stories. Until next time!
