Darkness. That's all that surrounded Sonic. Everywhere he looked was a never ending sea of dark nothingness. The darkness roamed through his body and silenced him. He felt as if he were being tormented by guilt and shame. He stood there in the black, lonely world with darkness engulfing him in every corner. "Do you understand the consequences of your mistake, hedgehog?" a voice boomed out of no where. Sonic looked around, confused. "Huh? Who said that?!" he shouted. The voice laughed an evil laugh that echoed throughout the darkness. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! Me? Hahaha, I am no one of your concern." Confused, Sonic looked around, hoping to find the one who was talking to him. "You can't find me, hedgehog. I am not there. I am the voice within," it said. "The voice within?" Sonic asked. "Yes, in other words your TORMENTOR!" the voice yelled. A bolt of lightning came down and struck right in front of Sonic, knocking him down backwards in shock and fear. He was on his back, as he started to crawl backwards, trying to dodge the lightning bolts that kept striking closer to him at each step. It was as if he were a lightning rod. "AHHH!! Stop!" he screamed. The lightning stopped, and the voice boomed with laughter. Before Sonic could act, dark, shadow-like tentacles came out from no where and constricted his wrists and ankles. They streched his arms and legs apart, making him cry out with pain. "AHHHHHHHH, MAKE THEM STOP!!!" The tentacles let go and transformed into gigantic snakes. They hissed and bared their fangs. They surrounded him like water surrounding an island. "Stay away!" he shrieked. He tried to turn into his ball form to attack them, but something kept him from doing that. "What the-" The snakes slapped him with their tails, and he rolled across the dark, nothingness world. He gritted his teeth in pain and groaned. He staggered to his feet, turning to face the snakes, who had disappeared. "Okay, you freak! Stop playing all these tricks on me and let me go!" he yelled. "Hahaha. Do you even know why you are held prisoner here?" the voice asked. "No..." Sonic replied. "...you hurt the girl," it said. Sonic flinched. "How do you know about that?!" he yelled. The voice laughed once again. "I know all, hedgehog. I know that you hurt her mentally and physically. And you don't even care! You should be ashamed!" Sonic made a fist and let out his rage and anger. "I do care! I do! I can't even sleep at night, thinking about how I yelled at her like that! I regret it every minute of every day!" he screamed, "I..do...Amy...I'm sorry..." he lowered his head in guilt. "How could you be sorry? You hate her," the voice said. "I don't hate her!" Sonic snapped. "LIAR!!!!" the voice yelled. Thunder boomed, and a huge wall of water rose up out of no where and surrounded Sonic. "I'm not lying! I'm telling the truth!" he screamed. The water crashed down on him like waves crashing down on shore. It carried him away, through the never ending darkness. In a flash, the water diappeared and Sonic plummetted on the darkness "floor". He pushed himself up with his hands. They trembled as they lifted up his body. He stood himslf up with his knee, and staggered. "I'm sick of this! Show yourself!" he yelled in anger. "Fine," the voice replied. A monster suddenly appeared behind Sonic. He looked back at it and screamed. "Ahhh! What are you?!" he shouted, jumping backwards in shock. The monster was purple with a hog nose and red eyes. It had ears of a bat, along with bat wings larger than its body. It had a tan belly like Sonic's. Also it was about three feet taller than Sonic. "I am the voice within," the monster said. "Alright then. Can you just let me go? I already regret enough of what I did!" Sonic yelled. The monster shook his head. "I don't believe you. You must see how you hurt her all these years. You must learn your lesson, hedgehog," the monster said. It reached out its hand and made a mirror appear. Sonic looked at it in confusion. "Watch, as I play back all the times throughout both you two's life you have hurt her," the monster said. The mirror made out an image, that looked familiar to him. The image cleared, and it made it out; it was him and Amy when they were eight. "Hey Sonic!" Amy said, running up to him and hugging him tightly. "Whoa, Amy! Is that how you greet everyone?" he said. "Sorry..." she replied. "Anyways I was wondering if you could come see me at my musical preformance! I play the flute." Sonic nodded, "Sure! I'll come!" The scene fast-fowarded to the concert. Amy walked on stage with her flute, and looked through the crowd like she was searching for someone. She made a sad face, and played the flute. After the performance, she walked off stage and outside the back door of the building. She threw down her flute and ran away crying. The scene ended, and Sonic, who watched the whole thing, had tears swelling up in his eyes. The monster changed the image on the mirror, and it was another scene, this time when they were ten. Amy ran up to Sonic and hugged him. "Sonic, guess what? I'm preforming a song tonight, I wrote it myself! It's going to be at the concert in town, do you want to come?" she said. "Yeah, I'll come!" Sonic replied. It fast fowarded again to night, when the concert began. She walked on stage, but she made a very sad face when she looked through the audience. She sang, and when it was over, everyone clapped, as she walked off the stage slowly with her head held down and tears dripping from her face. The image disappeared, and Sonic let the tears fall from his eyes. "And now, here is this is the most recent replay of how you hurt her. Sonic's eyes widened and he shook his head in protest. "No, no! No, not that one! Anything but that one!" he screamed. The monster played the scene of him screaming at her. "NO!! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!" he begged. He fell to his knees and buried his head in his hands. "Fine," the monster said, stopping the replay and making the mirror disappear. "Now. I have someone who needs to see you..." it said. Sonic stood up slowly. "..Who..?" he asked. The monster disappeared. Sonic heard breathing, and sensed someone behind him. He turned around slowly and silently. His eyes grew wide when he saw what was behind him. It was Amy! "Amy!!! It's you!" he screamed, running up to her. "Sonic...why did you scream at me like that? You killed me inside...." she said softly. A tear dripped from his eye. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry Amy! I..." he said, as his voice faded away. "You broke my heart...you killed me," she kept saying. She began to cry, and she grabbed her chest. She gritted her teeth, and ripped out her heart. Sonic gasped in horror as he looked at the heart in her hands, dripping blood. A bloody hole shone on her chest. "You hurt me!" she kept saying. "You hurt me! You hurt me! It's all YOUR fault!" Sonic began to fall through the darkness, as if he fell in a pitfall trap. Amy voice faded away in the distance as he fell further into the dark nothingness. Her voice still boomed in his head. "It's all YOUR fault!"

Sonic opened his eyes. He looked around, finding himself on the couch in his and Tails' apartment. He sat up and realized he was sweaty. "Hey, Sonic...are you alright? You've been having terrible spasms in your sleep! I've been worried about you!" a voice said. "Huh? ..Tails..?" he asked. "Yeah, it's me! Are you okay?" the voice asked. Tails walked by the couch and looked down at him. "Yeah," Sonic replied, "I just...had a little nightmare...is all. How did I get here?" "I decided to come look for Amy, so I took the X Tornado. But I saw you passed out in the Green Hill Zone! I got you, and took you back home. You've been sleeping for hours!" Tails explained. "Oh..." Sonic replied. "Amy is...still lost..." he said, closing his eyes and lowering his head in sadness.
