The thought gave her pause. Shaking, she gradually lowered her arms and looked them over. One of her hands clutched at her chest for the pendant, but came back empty. "The pendant's gone!" And as if things couldn't get any worse...! "And my medallion, too! I've got to get them back!" Her heart was beating a million miles a minute, but she paused again to try and catch up with her racing thoughts. Focus. Someone must have taken them. But who? Whoever had brought her here may have been taking care of her. Or maybe they just didn't follow Robotnik's example of what a prison ought to look like. It certainly didn't smell like a cell she'd ever been in.
What could have happened? She closed her eyes again and hugged her arms around her chest. Nobody had been in that cave where they'd left her. There hadn't been any SWATbots outside either--they'd made sure of that. The last thing she remembered was standing in that cave, so that must have been where she got caught. ...But she had only closed her eyes for five seconds! How could they have transported her this far in such a short time? Her body had to have changed by the time they'd found her, too. Sonic hadn't been able to grab her arm before that.
I don't think I fainted...
The pendant disappearing wouldn't be that unusual--without the other half, it wouldn't have taken long for it to vanish--but her medallion? What if it...? No, she told herself with a shake of her head. She had come out intact (mostly), right? Besides, it'd survived worse than that. She couldn't just say it was lost. Her medallion was practically her birthright! For all she knew, it may have been what saved her from disappearing! She knew it was a stretch, but if it was true, maybe it could change her back; after all, it had helped her during that Sonic Tonic fiasco, though she'd had to activate it that time. Whether it could help her out of this jam or not-- no matter what had happened to it, Sonia wasn't about to give up on finding it. If she did, she might have to forget about fitting into her wardrobe again, but right now clothes were the least of her worries!
The princess shot another worried glance downward and curled her hand around where her medallion should have been, swallowing the lump in her throat. She then steeled her nerve and made her way to the door, but not before grabbing the dog tags (last time she checked, her name wasn't 'Sophie Vallance'. Somebody must have left them here). She couldn't waste any more time. Right now, what was important was that she found a way out of here, before--
Clang. Someone was coming! She let out a low gasp and retreated two steps, bracing herself.
