Description
Chapter 3: An old friend?Ever since I passed out the night before, I thought I was going to freeze out there, but strong arms carried me to a safe place. I woke up the next morning to find myself under a blanket all warm and I saw my boots on the side. I also saw a bowl of fruit but in it was mostly grapes. I sat up a little but I was sore on my arms and legs. I tried to ignore the pain but it didn't work out too well. So I just sat down, I looked around to find myself in a cave, but it was actually clean. When I looked at the opening of the cave I saw something glowing. I looked at it closely and it was the Master Emerald. Knuckles took me in, looks like he found me when I was stuck last night.
After an hour I got up, the soreness of my arms and legs hurt but I ignored them. I walked out the cave barefoot and I looked up at the Master Emerald. On the left I glanced at a red figure, it was on the other side of the Master Emerald. I smiled and knew that it was Knuckles guarding it caustiously like always. I went around the Master Emerald quietly so that I could jump up and surprise him but something stopped me before I could surprise him. I looked at him from the side and it made me blush. His muscles were a bit larger, his fur a little darker, his chest was high and his purple eyes where sparkling. He looked like a soldier, it made him look brave, also make it look like he can get through anything.
Knuckles: I know your there Amy.
Amy: *jumps* Oh!, um. how'd you know?
Knuckles: I heard you, you were snapping on twigs.
He was right, I looked back to where I stepped over and saw 6 twigs snapped, I looked back at Knuckles and he was looking at me with a smile that felt warm and welcoming. He jumped down from the Master Emerald and came over to me and gave me a hug. His fur felt so warm and soft. His muscles were hard, and hearing the beating from his heart made me smile. Whats wrong with me? Why is MY heart pounding hard when I am close to him? It remains unclear when he lets me go. His smile was one thing that made me happy to see. We both sat in front of the Master Emerald that day and he offered me some fruit but I only took one apple. I wasn't hungry that much. I started to wonder about Cream, I don't know where she went. But I didn't worry anymore when I saw Cream walking with Cheese to their home. I smiled reliefed that she was okay. Me and Knuckles talked for awhile and when it came to night time we looked at the stars.
Amy: The stars are so beautiful...
Knuckles: Yeah, they are every night.
Amy: So, what have you been doing since you came back?
Knuckles: Guarding the Master Emerald.
Amy: (Go figure -.-) Thats it?
Knuckles: I actually started to date Rouge, but, it didn't work out too good. I thought she actually liked me but it turns out when we started dating she wanted to break the Master Emerald to make jewerly out of it and become rich.
Amy: Wow.....She loves jewels more than I thought.
Knuckles: But everything else is the same. Did you see Sonic yet?
Amy: Yeah, he surprised me yesterday. Anything going on with him?
Knuckles: Well, he recently got back with Sally Acorn.
Amy: Oh......I see.
Knuckles: You still crushing on him, aren't you?
Amy: No! Of course not! My feelings for Sonic have changed. I only like him as a friend.
Knuckles: heh, right.
An hour after a little conversation, I fell asleep leaning on the Master Emerald since I didn't sleep too well the night before.
(Knuckles P.O.V)
I was surprised to see Amy had grown out of Sonic fangirlism. But when I looked at her sleeping that night, I smiled. She was so beautiful, I know Sonic too easy to not stare at her. I moved closer to her and I started to play with her hair. It was soft and silky and smelled like cherryblossoms. I poked the back of her ear and it twitched. It was cute yet funny, but I just continued to play with her hair. After 10 minutes or so, she started to move in her sleep and she lays her head against my chest. I blushed and smiled and wrapped one arm around her to keep her close. Thats when I started to question myself. Why is my heart pounding like it will explode? Why do I blush everytime I look at her? She's one person that I've been very kind to. Its weird, but I still questioned it. I nuzzled her in her sleep making her smile and I fell asleep as well.
