How Far Will You Go?

Chapter 6: You Promised

Amy's POV:

'Uh…oh man. It's so dark…Where am I? Am I dead?'

As I see nothing but darkness, a light is soon visible from a far. 'I guess I really am dead' I start to make my way towards the light, but as I grow closer, voices started to echo around me at the same time, and I could barely understand what they were saying.

"I-don't-love-you… Amy, what's wrong?!... Stay out of my life..."

'What?' I'm getting freaked out at every word, so I started running and the voices got louder.

"But Amy, he hurt you… Promise me that no matter what, we'll always be together… I promise… Amy, come on! We gotta go... My name is Midnight…It's what we want with her…"

I covered my ears, begging them to stop and run faster than I ever had in my life.

"These are the Nine Lives… Look out… I'm scared…I'll always protect you…Shoot them down."

The light became blinding, but I was excited to almost be there and make these voices stop!

"Watch as your cousin takes her last breath… BAM BAM BAM!"

My eyes suddenly shot open, along with my body which jumped up. That was a big mistake, as I instantly feel the sharp, excruciating pain come from my abdomen. I started screaming at the top of my lungs and I push my hands to my wound, praying the pain would stop. My jade eyes were burning from a bright light and the tears that wish to escape. I keep screaming until I feel arms surrounding my body, and laying me on the bed trying to calm me down with soft words like "Hush, calm down, it's ok" I could also feel a twinge of pain in my arm as someone stuck a needle in me, but it was later comforting.

I frantically look around my surroundings, and I see a chipmunk nurse and a very familiar rabbit holding me down.

"Cr-Cream?"

"Hey Amy, don't worry, its okay." I could tell by her puffy eyes that she had been crying, but for what?

"Cream, where am I?"

"In a hospital Ames," Knuckles walked up to the bed. I slowly looked to see who else was here, and I saw my friends Cream, Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Sonia, Manic, Rouge, Blaze, and…Sonic. He was standing at the door with worry all in his eyes.

"Ok Ms. Rose, you're all set. The medicine I just gave you will help with the pain." The chipmunk nurse told me with confidence. "Call me if you need anything else."

"Uh…thank you?" I was unsure what I was thanking her for because I can't even remember a thing. 'Why am I in the hospital? Why do I have pain? Where is Rob? Why is Sonic here?'

"Um…guys? My memory is kind of blank, so you think you can inform me on what's going on?"

Everyone seemed to hesitate when I asked, and they didn't budge to say anything. Then Manic spoke up

"Ames…you're in the hospital because…you were shot. The bullets almost did a lot of damage…but the doctors got them out in time."

I take a minute to think about it, and then the scene slowly came back to me…

"I remember now…I pushed Rob out of the way and took the bullet. Then they fired two…no…three more at me" I looked to my friends and asked "so thy got all four bullets out of me?"

That's when everyone got quiet; Sonia, Cream, Rouge, even Knuckles got teary eyed.

"What's wrong?" I asked with a serious tone, scared of what they were gonna tell me.

"Um…Amy, you weren't hit with all four bullets." Cream spoke to me like she was scared to say anything.

"What do you mean?"

"You see…you were hit by two bullets; one in your abdomen and one in your right arm, but luckily that one didn't paralyze your right side." Shadow hesitated

"But…if I got hit with two, what happened to…" I could've sworn my heart stopped for a few seconds 'No that can't be right'. Everyone was just looking at me, waiting for me to say something, so I asked softly "Where is Rob?"

"Honey…" Rouge started off "Rob was shot too. H-he…" Rouge was starting to get chocked up trying to say the words as tears started to flow down her cheeks "I'm sorry Ames… he didn't make it."

"What…" my heart skipped a few more beats, and it took a while for that information to click in my head.

"Amy…the doctors couldn't stop the bleeding, and the bullet was too close to his heart…" Shadow was cut off by Sonia who broke down crying, and Manic went to go comfort her.

At every word he said, I didn't grow sad, I grew angry; not wanting to believe what they told me. My eyes became hot as the burning tears escaped; my body trembled and I felt a powerful rage make my insides sting; I gripped my sheets so tight, I think I ripped them. "Where is Rob?" I said menacingly

"Amy, we understand you want to see him, but…"

"Just tell me where he is!" I cut Tails off.

"He's down the hall to the right. Ames we promise you can see him later." Blaze told me softly, but I didn't listen.

"You're wrong." I said with a low voice, which rose "You're all wrong! He's not dead!" I jump out of my bed, not thinking about the pain that rushed through my body, and made my way to the door.

"Amy! Where are you going?" I ignored Knuckles' question and kept moving towards holt. Turning my head, I see Sonic holding me with…concern in his eyes?! After all he said to me he's trying to be nice?! This only enraged me more.

"What do you want?"

"Amy don't; you might hurt yourself, or pull out your stitches; or worse." He spoke for the first time.

My eyes glared at him and my right hand instantly made contact with his face. He actually flew across the room and cracked the wall. I could here the gasps from my friends and all eyes were on me, but I only looked at Sonic.

"Shut up bastard! What the fuck do you care?" with that outburst I ran as fast as I could thinking of Blaze's directions. 'No, they're wrong! Rob's not dead! He promised he would never leave me! He promised!!' I repeated over and over again in my head, and I raced to my cousin's room down this very long hallway. I pushed anyone who was in my way, whether they were nurses or doctors, and I ignored the calls of my name from my friends.

When I went to the right, there was only one door. I grew excited, and I started praying that when I open this door that Rob would be there standing there with a big smile on his face, but…that's not what I saw. My excitement turned into despair as I entered the cold, dark, and eerie looking room. There in front lay the corpses of people on beds; in the mist of the bodies laid my best friend. 'No…' Tears rolled down my cheek; my heart sank down to my stomach; and my knees became wobbly at every step I took towards his bed. I did nothing, but stare at his body for awhile, and then I heard the footsteps of my friends at the door. I think one of them was talking to me, but I couldn't hear them; in my mind only Rob and I were there.

His face was peaceful, like he was asleep. I finally found my voice and squeaked out… "Rob?"

No answer

"Rob, wake up…" my voice was shaky and my hand trembled as I slowly put my hand on his forehead; I quickly pulled it away. Then I slowly put my right hand above his mouth, to find any sign of him breathing. 'He's warm but…not breathing? Why is he messing with my mind? What's he trying to pull?' the truth was, he died ten minutes right before I woke up, but I wouldn't believe it. These confusing emotions started stir up in me like a whirlpool; anguish, sadness, despair, anger…hatred; all because of him, the man who promised to stay here; to stay with me "Why is he torturing me like this? He's not dead, he's asleep, right?"

Tails decided to answer "Amy, he's not…"

"Rob, stop screwing with me and get up." I demanded…but he didn't even budge or bust out laughing from his little "joke" "It's true…you're gone. But…you promised me…"

"Amy?" Sonia called to me

"You son-of-a-bitch…"

"What did you say Amy?" Rouge asked

"Amy, please let's go." Sonia pleaded

"You son-of-a-BITCH!!!" I grew enraged and punched him so hard he almost fell off the bed! My mind went blank and I could feel myself losing control and letting all the emotions take over me. Next thing I knew, I was on top of him punching his defenseless body blow after blow, screaming and cursing. "You bastard, how could do you this to me?! Jackass, you promised me! You PROMISED!!"

"Amy, stop!!" I could hear them yelling at me; begging me to snap out of it and stop; but I couldn't. The boys' arms surrounded me as they tried to force me off of him.
"No! Let me go! He promised!"

Through blurry, tearful eyes, I could see the color red; the crimson color of blood on Rob's body. But…it couldn't have been his. My eyes traveled down to my side, and I see my own blood soaking through my hospital gown, covering my fists, and Rob's corpse.

"Rob…you…promised" those were my last words as all around me goes black again and my limp body fell in to someone's warm arms.
