Chapter 1

Seeing and Believing are two different things

It's a sunny day in Station Square. Blazing through the streets is none other than the world's fastest hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, as always running away from his problems. Well, rather from Amy Rose. But to him, she wasn't really a problem, but more of an annoyance. She was always everywhere that he would go, even if he never said to anyone about where he was going to. He secretly thought that she was psychic and that's why she knew. It was either that or she was a stalker, and he didn't want to think that. She just wanted to be with him, he understood that. And secretly, he kind of wanted to be with her also. But it would never work out. Even if they were together, they would never see each other, since he would be off saving the world. Eggman wasn't going to stop trying to take over, and Sonic knew that he definitely wasn't going to stop because his oldest rival has a girlfriend now.

'Maybe when things start to slow down, but I doubt that will ever happen.' he thought, still keeping his constant speed of 760 mph.

But then suddenly he stopped. The very person he was thinking about, the person he was thinking about starting a relationship with, was right in front of him.

Amy Rose.

She was standing there, staring at him, with those shiny emerald green eyes, almost identical to his own, with a tiny smile appearing across her lips.

"Amy, what are you doing here?" Sonic asked with a surprising tone, even though he already knew the reason she was here. He was just wondering why she hadn't tackled him yet. Yet he made sure he was braced for impact.

But she didn't answer. As soon as Sonic had asked that question, that tiny smile disappeared, and was replaced with a sad look on her face. Even though Sonic was 20 feet away from her, he could still the depressing look on her face, which in return made him a little bit sad also. But he knew that something was wrong. She never acted that way when she was around him.

" Is there something wrong?" Sonic asked, now starting to move towards her. He stopped at around 2 feet, still wondering why she hadn't glomped him yet. Now that he had a better look at her, he had realized that the depressing look was now gone and was replaced with a blank stare in her eyes.

"Amy, what's wrong? Are you okay?" he asked waving his right hand near her face to try in get her attention.

But she didn't move any inch. Her face now was being replaced from a blank stare, to a state of horror and awe. Her eyes widened to look almost as if she were going to scream. Instead she spoke.

"I...I s-saw him," she had said slowly and almost inaudibly.

"Who? Who did you see?" Sonic asked in a curious and desperate tine.

She look up at him with dull, soulless eyes. As if the life had been drained out of her.

"Mephiles." She murmured softly, as if she admired the name, before fainting right there, leaving the blue hedgehog both shocked and confused.
