Disclaimer: I don't own the Sonic characters, or the setting, just a few made-ups which I have created….obviously…because they are called made-ups.
Here it is, the long awaited sequel to "Cursed Friendship"! I know some people are glad to see that it's here:D
And also, if you haven't read "Cursed Friendship" please read that first then begin reading this, because that'll answer any questions you might have and I don't really, at the minute, feel like writing a prologue or anything. Now here is my newest story, enjoy, and even if you aren't logged in to fanfiction, send a review and tell me what you think. Feel free to read my profile and maybe look at my other stories. I love to get reviews on stories I have already finished too! So please send in a few for those too if you find the chance to read them!

The old otter cared for Melody night and day, making sure she was as comfortable as possible even in her comatose state. She was growing weary from the constant worry and often considered just giving up on the unconscious panther-angel. But she knew she didn't have the heart to do such a thing.
The otter, Eva by name, ran her fingers through her frazzled hair and rubbed her eyes, trying to soothe the irritated and tired skin which hung in dark folds. She was no longer young and her bones creaked as she moved, protesting against her slight weight. She yawned to herself, hobbling to Melody and administering a few medicines. As usual, the girl didn't respond, she just lay there, breathing slowly, mouth slightly open.
Eva didn't understand why the poor girl didn't just wake up. Her wounds had long since healed and there was no reason for her to be stuck in her coma, and yet she slept on, unaware of the outside world.
As for the other panther-angel, Eva had painstakingly buried him on the cliff-top among the flowers which, since his death, had grown even more glorious and beautiful than ever before. She had written a little poem, in proper respect, and laid the waterproof wax paper atop the mound of earth, weighted down by a few smooth river rocks.

Amy leapt up and down excitedly and came running at Shadow, screaming as she jumped into his arms. Shadow tried to back away but she simple did not let him. "What in the world is going on?" he asked, eyes solemn and yet amused at the same time. Since their marriage, Shadow had opened up a little bit, and every once in a while, he chanced a smile in public.
Amy giggled and squealed, "Shadow! Shadow! You'll never guess what!"
Shadow held her tightly, slightly nervous that she would fall from his grasp as she continued to squirm happily and excitedly. "You're right, I'll never guess." He answered.
"Well that spoils the fun!" Amy answered good-naturedly.
Shadow just shrugged and replied, "I never was one for guessing games…"
"I just took a test, and I'm going to have a kid! We're finally gonna be parents!" She screamed in his ear, more excited than a school girl over prom. (heh…I should know! Lolz!)
Shadow nearly dropped her in surprise. His mouth hung open and he wasn't sure what emotion he felt welling up inside of his chest. He couldn't find the words to say to her either, so he stood there, looking down at her, face frozen in shock. Finally he stammered, "That's…that's wonderful!"
Amy kissed him lightly on the cheek, allowing him to put her down as she ran towards the door, calling as she sprinted, "I'm gonna tell all of our friends the good news!"
For some reason, Shadow began to feel exhausted, as if the surprise had sapped all his energy. The prospect of raising a child was a harrowing task in itself. He sighed, happy and yet unsure.

Jaymal was still sore about Amy, Shadow, and Lizzey's escape three months before at the cliff-top. He craved revenge and he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. He had spent the last few months searching for the perfect method among this twisted mind, and so far, had found nothing. "Maybe I need to know the position of my enemies first…" he mused, stroking his goatee thoughtfully, "Then I can strike them when least expected…and to my advantage."
He extracted a photo from his pocket, glaring in hatred at the likeness of Shadow and Amy. "Whatever I do to them, it'll be the most devious thing ever." Ripping the picture to shreds, he threw the scraps into a fire burning low in the fireplace. A few sparks flew up, igniting them at once and burned them through.
Then, he called for five of his most skilled angels and had them line up horizontally. He inspected each of them, pacing in front of the group as he ordered, "Three of you find those two hedgehogs! The other two, seek out the smaller, brown hedgehog. I want as much information as you can get about the targets."
The five saluted, taking flight in a rustling of feathers, and soared out of the window one by one, dividing into groups and flying their opposite ways. Jaymal sighed and sagged down into his thrown, overlooking the huge hall. A large, golden carpet extended from under his feet to the very entrance, running under the huge, solid oak doors and further into the next room.
Eyes fluttering, the angel-in-command gradually drifted off to sleep, snoring lighting as he head lulled to one side. Those who were sent to serve him dared not wake him, lest he awoke with bad temper so they tiptoed off. He found his dreams most troubling.
Jaymal sat eating lunch in one of his many vast meadows outside. The grass and wind were abnormally still, and the sun, no matter how bright, produced no heat. Jaymal blinked a few times, surprised at the strange weather; as his eyes opened the second time, an angel appeared in front of him.
The angel's face was locked into a snarl as he grabbed Jaymal's throat and hissed into his face, "You thought you could get rid of me, didn't you, Jaymal? But I have news for you! I'll be back and with a vengeance! I won't stay dead for long…this I promise…" He threw Jaymal back to the ground then added, "Oh, and another thing, your victory wasn't as complete as you thought…Melody is still alive."
Jaymal shivered and yet lost none of his natural cruelty, "Well. Well. Well. Key is it? Reduced to threatening people in their dreams now? If you do manage to come back, I'll just kill you again…it was easy enough the first time."
Key snorted, "You won't be so lucky next time. The next time we face, I'll be more powerful than you can imagine, just you wait and see…"
Jaymal smirked then snarled, "We'll see about that. Until then, have fun in hell!"
Key laughed, "As if…just because you'll end up there doesn't mean I did…" He vanished.
Jaymal settled down into more peaceful sleep.
