Serendipity

Chapter 9: Incognito

Scourge backed away from Sonic. Sonic was glaring at him, keeping Amy from his reach. Amy didn't move. She could only feel him breathing heavily in front of her. First Scourge was in front of her and then Sonic. Why was he defending her? Did something happen?

Scourge returned the glare back and they stood there on a stare-out for a while and nobody moved a muscle or spoke.

"Blind?" He finally cracked a smile but he kept his glare. He half-laughed sounding incredulous while holding his head. "And she thinks she's so strong against those who can see,"

Amy frowned.

Vector laughed loudly amused himself. Sonic's facial expression didn't change. He kept a serious glare. Amy reached out her hands and touch Sonic's back. Sonic shoved her hand away with his shoulder. It felt like a burn to her hand. His anger. She felt his anger and so she backed away.

"A blind side-chick?! Ooo, this is too good!"

Sally pouted and crossed her arms at the sound of that word. He watched Amy hopelessly look down like if she was ashamed of something. She stared at her in disgust and walked to Scourge and wrapped her arm around his. "Let's go,"

Scourge didn't have to nod at her or look at her for him to understand to start walking away with Sally from the area they were in and down the alley. "Blind!" He sneered. "You just love making friends with the inferior."

They walked away down the alley and even then they could still hear him and Vector laughing. Fiona was still standing there looking at the scared pink hedgehog. Sonic was glaring at her. Fiona offered a small smile at him. "I think it's nice that you help the disable," She winked at him and made her way out.

Amy felt herself choke. They're words had hurt her. Inferior? Disable? Side-chick? Blind...

It felt like being run over by large trucks over and over again. She couldn't understand why they were so cruel to her. Amy was suddenly awaken out of thought when Sonic had roared, "You gave it away!"

"S-Sonic...we were looking for medicine not for your special needs. Your special needs got us in trouble." He tried her hardest to turn it back to him. If he was going to start pointing fingers it should be towards him where they should be pointed to. He was the cause of it all.

Sonic clenched his first tighter and held his head with them bending down in anger. He then kneeled down in front of her. "It wasn't for me!"

Amy blinked confused.

Sonic got back up and began pacing from the wall to her. "It was for a...friend."
Amy got up slowly. She used her hands as a balance until she was up steady. She had questions. "What was the importance of that bag if you don't mind me asking?"

Sonic stopped and faced her. For a moment he just stared at her and then he spoke. "They were pills. Pains resisters."

"Pain Resisters? Why?" Amy asked somewhat demandingly.

His mouth closed into a tight line. He walked up to her and grabbed her arm. "We got the old geezer's medicine. I'm taking you home now."

Amy yanked her hand away. "For what purpose did you need those pills for?"

Sonic was becoming irritated with her questions. He was already irritated by the situation and didn't want to get angry. He blew out air exasperated and faced her. "None of your business,"

His words were harsh. Almost like fire breathing out of his mouth, she felt the pressure on his words filled with threat. Amy sucked in air and closed her mouth. There was nothing she was going to get answer with the way Sonic sounded. He sounded defensive. Over what?
