Amy Rose... She's a good girl, she'll fight for what she believes in, But... she never had real friends. Since she was 8 she was chasing a dream and declaring her love to the blue hero, but as she grew older that love passed and they became and stayed friends, But... there's a secret she wont tell anyone. Just her best friend knew it, James...
*flash back time*
"p-please, mommy... I-I didn't mean to do it" a pink hedgehog cried.
"Shut your trap, Child of the Devil" the mother spat as she took a wooden spoon and smacked the 5 year old across the cheek,
"Παρακαλώ. STOP!" Amy cried, (Please. STOP!)
"Ποτέ μην παιδί δαίμονα!" the mother hissed as she took the spoon and smacked her again, "I wish i never adopted you!" the mother said as she threw the now blood stained spoon into the sink (Never demon child!)
"Ποτέ δεν σήμαινε να κάνουν ό, τι είχα κάνει, γιατί δεν με πιστεύετε;", (I never meant to do what i had done, why don't you believe me?)
"Γιατί ... γιατί να πιστεύω ότι το παιδί του δαίμονα;" the mother hissed as she walked away from the sobbing child (Because... why should I believe the child of a demon?)
life went this way ever waking day for Amy if she did one thing that was 'demon-like', even when she was outside crying up in a tree or in a swing in an empty park, kids would come up to her and kick her, the only way she was aloud into the house if she found her own way in and slept in the attic
"Παιδί Demon, εσείς καλύτερα να φύγει όταν ξυπνάω" the father said to Amy when he put his food scraps in the attic, (Demon child, you better be gone when I wake up)
"Ναι μπαμπά ... Θέλω να πω ..." Amy said but stopped short, (Yes papa... I mean...)
"You will not call me anything but, sir... got it. Demon child?" the father hissed and slammed the attics door, Amy looked down at the book in her hands and at the scrap,
"Πότε θα τελειώσει μου πόνο;" Amy muttered as a couple tears slipped down her cheeks (When will my suffering end?)
"私はこのように生きるのはうんざり！" Amy shouted in Japanese when she knew her 'parents' where asleep, she growled and packed up everything she needed, which was only clothes, "I'm never ever coming back to this hell-hole, and i should know what it's like to be in hell!" Amy muttered as she jumped out of the window and landed on her feet (I'M TIRED OF LIVING LIKE THIS!)
"Το παιδί δαίμονας είναι οριστική αποχώρηση!" (THE CHILD DEMON IS FINALLY LEAVING!) shouted an excited man as he saw Amy leave the village, soon a party was going on, the only one not celebrating was a lone little green hedgehog with bangs covering his chilling yellow eyes, he made sure no one was watching him as he slipped out of the village to catch his best friend as she got further into the distance
"Amelia!" he cried catching up to her,
"Τι θέλεις James, και το όνομά μου είναι δαίμονας παιδί, θυμάσαι;" Amy muttered looking away with her back pack slung over her shoulder, (What do you want James, and my name is Demon child, remember?)
"Your name is NOT Demon Child!, it's Amelia!... and you know that, i can't just watch you leave the village... if you go, the others will make fun of me again, plus i'll be left alone... please don't let me be that again, at least with you... i had a friend" James said looking down at the ground
"Fine... if you want you can come with me, get your clothes and other stuff, i'll be waiting by the river, i'll be there in till the moon is at it's highest" Amy said looking at her friend, he smiled at her and ran back into town as Amy ran to the river
When Amy made it to the river she waited about an hour in till james was seen, "I'm ready, Amy... c'mon" James said, James is 7 and is Amy's best friend,
"I really like you, James..." Amy said as they walked by the river bank,
"I really like you too, Amy. I like you because your different. Me and you can relate" James said looking at her, Amy smiled and said
"I like you because... you treat me like no one else in the village has treated me..." Amy said looking down
when they came to a bridge it wasn't as late as 1, and the two set up camp. "Thank-you, James..." Amy said laying down next to him,
"What for?" James asked looking at her,
"Thanks for being my friend, for coming with me, for just... being there when no one else would only treat me like a..." Amy said her sentence slipping away,
"Demon?" James asked, Amy nodded as tears threatened to come out
James embraced his friend in a hug, "Please don't cry... you know what happens when you cry" James said,
"I know... and i hate it, i hate the taste, and the way others treat me because of it" Amy said as she wiped her red tears away, soon the two fell asleep and for Amy to only be wakened up by yells and shouts, she woke up and saw a a couple bright lights coming there way
"James, James wake up!" Amy said shaking her friend, James shot up and saw what Amy saw and heard what Amy heard,
"Γαμώτο!" James cursed as he quickly packed things up and hid them in a near by tree, (FUCK!)
"James..." Amy said looking at him, he smiled Sadly at her and gave her a reassuring look, "Cut yourself, or make yourself look beaten up..." Amy begged him
"Wh- why?" James asked,
"If they see you helping me they will kill you!, if you act like i did that too you they will call you a survivor!, you'll be a hero!... this is the one chance you have at not being a no one in the village, please... do it for me!" Amy begged, James sighed and gave up once he saw his friends pleading face,
"I'm only doing this for you... once they start treating me like a traitor again i'm leaving!" James said
"Very well... good by my friend" Amy said hugging him one last time and grabbing her bag and running off into the now rising sun, James took branches and scratched his cheek making him wince as blood started to rise out of the cuts, he scratched his arms and legs and bit himself and rubbing dirt and leaves into his fur he fell to the ground as the villagers came into view of him
"JAMES!" James' mother screamed as she ran up to him, she cradled him in her arms as tears trickled down her cheeks,
"M-μητέρα ... ο δαίμονας, μου παρασυρθείτε ώστε να έρχονται μαζί της, είμαι τόσο συγγνώμη ... αλλά, κοίτα ... Είμαι ζωντανός και καλά" James muttered to his mother staring blankly at her, (M-mother... the demon, she tricked me into coming with her, i'm so sorry... but, look... i'm alive and well)
"Αγόρι μου! ... Είμαι πολύ χαρούμενος στη ζωή σου!" the mother cried holding her son close to her chest (My boy!... i'm so glad your alive!)
Amy watched sadly from a top of a tall tree not to far away, "Can James act or what?" Amy said to herself as she jumped down and ran
*End of Flash Back time*
Now Amy was 16 and living alone, she kept wondering for the day she would be able to see James again, today was Cream the rabbit's birthday, Shadow, Cream and Rouge (beside James) were Amy's best friends. Cream was turning 10. Amy smiled sadly as she looked at the outfit she had picked out for Cream's party, it was a simple red shirt and jeans, and a special bracelet James had given her when they were little.
"I miss you, James" Amy whispered to the bracelet fingering it gently, it was a silver band with many different color of stones in it, her most favorite one was the rare Pink Stone... it was rare to even see one where she was from. how James obtained it she never knew... but she loved it dearly... his father was a smith so he learned everything he needed to know from him
A knock was heard at Amy's door, Amy covered her bracelet by the shirts sleeves, No one knows anything about her past, know one knew her in till she was 8, no one even asked about her past or where she came from
"Amy, c'mon... we're going to be late!" a voice called, it was Rouge, Amy smiled and put her cell phone in her pocket put a white headband in to match her tennis shoes and walked out the door when she put her key's in her 'secret' spot,
"Hey, Rouge... i'm surprised your not at the club" Amy said as she and Rouge walked down the road to Rouge's car.
"I put Knuckle-head in charge..." Rouge trailed off at what she just said, she banged her head against the steering wheel, "What did i just do?" Rouge groaned
"I'm going to be surprised if that place isn't in flames when we get there" Amy said as Rouge started the car,
"I know... i made a BIG mistake" Rouge said as they where driving down the highway, soon the two made it to Rouge's club, Rouge closed it early so it was only the friends of Cream could do go in, "well... looks like Knuckle-head can keep something from catching fire after all" Rouge said amazed
"Amazing... for a guardian, he has A lot of free time on his hands now that the Echidna's are back, and Juile-Su and him got into that big fight" Amy said,
"Yeah... but what she loses... i gain" Rouge said smiling as they entered the club, Amy saw Cream talking with Tails', Knuckles and Sonic where having an arm wrestling contest while Silver judged, Sally and Blaze where talking, Marine was talking to Charmy and Espio and Vector where talking Big, Bunnie and Antoine where talking with Vanilla, While Shadow was just being... Shadow...
Amy walked over to the bar and a green fox was bar-tending, "Hey, can i get a soda?" Amy asked, he nodded and got her what he wanted, Rouge smiled and walked over to Knuckles
Just as Rouge sat down the club door swung open off of it's hinges, "HEY!, WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" Rouge demanded as a shadowed figure stepped into the club with a hood on covering his face, Sonic, Shadow, Silver, and Knuckles stood up in front of the strange man, then he spoke,
"Είναι η Amelia εδώ;, οι πηγές μου λένε ότι είναι εδώ" Amy's eyes widened and she fell out of the chair, this caught the attention of some nearby friends (Is Amelia here?, my sources say she's here)
Amy stood up and walked to the strange man, "Τζέιμς ... είναι ότι εσείς;" Amy asked coming up to him, the man hugged her tightly, (James... is that you?)
"AMELIA!" He shouted,
"James!" Amy replied tears streaming down her cheeks
(James: "is Amelia here?, my sources say she's here" Amy: "James... is that you?")
"Amy... explanation please?" Sonic asked, Amy quickly wiped her red tears away,
"Guy's... this is my first and best friend" Amy said pulling off of his hood to show a green hedgehog with bangs covering his yellow eyes, "James..." Amy smiled
"How many times do i have to tell you not to cry?" James said,
"I-I'm sorry" Amy replied looking down,
"Oh... come here" James replied hugging her again,
"Did you know anything about her past life before you met her?" Blaze asked Sally, Sally shook her head
"How do you know Greek?" Shadow asked,
"we're from a Greek speaking village, well... i am anyways, Amy was born-" James said but got cut off by Amy pulling on his ear and dragged him away
"Don't tell them!" Amy whispered harshly,
"Why not... oh wait, you didn't tell them yet, did you?" James whispered back,
"How can i tell them when i love the life i have now" Amy asked,
"It's going to have to come out some time... especially with your 17th birthday nearing" James whispered back, Amy growled in frustration,
"FUCK!, I FORGOT!" Amy screamed and pulled at her quills
"Hey, hey, hey... calm down. Mrs. Fussy" James said turning her around to face him,
"Oh forget it, anyways... how was the jackass village treating you after i left?" Amy asked crossing her arms,
"Here... sit down, i'll tell you" James said leading her to a booth, everyone was watching them,
"Since when did Amy become friends with such a handsome hedgehog?" Rouge asked, all the girls gathered in one part of the room while the guy's where in the other
The guy's grumbled while the girls where squealing, "Oh... they where treating me great, Ames. But... it wasn't the same without you. Every one was calling me the survivor, everyone wanted to be my friend... i liked it better when every one didn't pay attention to me... i liked it better when you were there" James said hitting his head on the table
"James, you know damn good and well i can't go back, they almost killed me!... what i did was best for me, and you!" Amy said leaning back against the seat,
"It's... just not the same... you've been gone for 11 years, 11!... Amy, i know you wont but please, please, please!... come back home!" James begged with his hands clasped together, Amy was taken aback by the question
"J-James..." Amy muttered, then the painful memories flashed through her mind making her grip her head, "I can't... James, i know you want me to go back, but i can't... i like the life i'm living now can i savor it?" Amy asked looking at him,
"Δεν έχετε να, αν δεν θέλετε να ... δεν είμαι αναγκάζοντας σας για να επανέλθω, εγώ απλά θέλετε πάρα πολύ" James said, (You don't have to if you don't want to... i'm not forcing you to come back, I just want you too)
"Το ξέρω ... αλλά, γιατί ήρθες να με βρεις;" Amy asked, (I know... but, why did you come to find me?)
"They... kinda, found out" James said rubbing the back of his head, Amy's eyes widened and she slipped out of the booth
"ΘΕΟΣ dammit!, Πώς ανακαλύπτουν;!, Ohh ... Πάω να σκοτώσουν ο οποίος είπε ποτέ ο δήμαρχος ... oh ~" Amy cussed in greek (GOD DAMMIT, HOW DID THEY FIND OUT?, ohh... i'm going to kill who ever told the mayor... oh~)
"Amy... Amy" James said standing up trying to calm her down, "Calm down... you need to calm down..." James said putting a hand on her shoulder, Amy growled and pushed him off of her,
"What... i left, we put on a show... you became the survivor, i got out of the village like everyone wanted me too!, 'Oh, look the Demon child is leaving, Hallelujah! the lord finally forgave us, oh lordy lordy!' They can kiss my ass!" Amy said shaking from rage
"Demon child?" Shadow muttered, his eyes widened when Amy's eyes started to turn red... but it was coming from her cheeks,
"Amy... no need to cry" James said, "These are tears of furry!... What else do they want from me?, to disappear from the face of the planet!" Amy growled in frustration,
"Yeah... that's what they told me" James nodded,
"ARGH!" Amy shrieked and her arms raised up and an orb was sent off her body being in the middle, it looked similar to Shadow's chaos blast, except this went threw everything
"Well... aren't they lucky, because in a couple of day's, i'm not going to be here, but... tell them that god hasn't forgave them, kicking me out has put them on the sin list..." Amy muttered to james as she stormed out,
"Will do!" James called out to her, he turned to face everyone and they had there eyes wide open, "Hey... I'm James The Hedgehog" James said waving weekly
"What. Just... happened?" Sonic asked,
"Oh, that..." James said putting his hands in his pockets and looking back, "Amy's just in her temper moment... except when she gets that mad... it's going to take a person... and an hour to make her calm down" James said,
"Ok?" Sonic said raising an eyebrow,
"Amy needs someone she's close to, preferably male, and she needs to spend an hour in the arms, or in the same room as that person" James said walking over to the ladies
"Hello, Ladies... i'm James Hedgehog, and who might all of you be?, since Amy never introduced me" James said,
"I'm Sally",
"I'm bunnie",
"I'm Rouge",
"I'm Cream",
"I'm Vanilla",
"I'm Blaze",
"I'm Marine".
"Nice to meet you all, now time to meet your guy's" James said walking over to them
"As you already know, i'm James Hedgehog, and i'd like to get to know who you are" James said,
"Sonic",
"Silver",
"Shadow",
"Tails'",
"Knuckles",
"Charmy",
"Espio",
"Mighty",
"Vector",
"Antoine",
"Big"
"Very nice to meet you all, now... who's going to go with Amy so she can calm down, and not destroy the town?" James asked walking away to a nearby table, the guy's pointed to him
"Oh, no, no, no... i can't" James said,
"Why the devil not?" Shadow snapped,
"That's just it... also because i haven't been around her for 11 years, so our friendship isn't that strong anymore, one of you has to go, because knowing Amy... and if you haven't shunned her from you, she would've been great friends with a guy... so, who is it?" James asked leaning on his fist
They all pointed to Sonic, Shadow, and Silver... "A three way tie, interesting" James said,
"She used to be my stalker... i'm out" Sonic said baking up,
"Really... Amy as a stalker, huh... funny" James said,
"She almost tried to kill me with that mallet of hers" Silver said taking a step back,
"I could see her doing it with her bare hands, but a mallet?" James asked,
"She helped me remember my promise to Maria... twice, so that meant she killed me, twice!" Shadow said,
"Yeah... but who's better friends with her?" James asked getting a migraine, everyone pointed to Shadow
"Of course... it's the guy she killed with words, twice" James said rubbing his temples, Rouge ran behind the bar and got some water for James, she brought it to him with a smile, "Thanks doll, no wonder Amy doesn't want to leave here, everyone's so nice to her" James replied taking the bottle out of Rouge's hand and winking at her, Rouge giggled and went back to the girls
And with one big gulp, the water was gone, Everyones jaw dropped. "Alright, Shadow... lets go" James said getting up and throwing the bottle across the room into the recycle bin,
"Wow" everyone muttered, Shadow just rolled his eyes and he and James walked out
"Nice guy... but, he reminds me of someone" Sally said tapping her chin,
"I know" Bunnie said,
"Scourge?" Rouge suggested,
"No, no, no... Shadow, he reminds me of Shadow" Sally said then snapped her fingers when it came to her mind
"Tell me about yourself, Shadow" James said as they walked down the empty streets of station square at 10 at night,
"Really?" Shadow asked raising an eyebrow,
"Yeah" James said,
'Strange... he doesn't know who we are, but... now that i think about it, Amy didn't either when she first met us' Shadow thought, "I'm Shadow, Shadow the hedgehog... i'm the Ultimate life form. I've died a couple times, I'm ever lasting, which sucks... and in body appearance i look 19, but mentally i'm 54 years old" Shadow said,
"Huh... interesting" James said
"Well... you can add me to that list of Everlasting as-well" James smirked, Shadow raised an eyebrow,
"How?" he asked, James just smiled...
"I'm a fallen angel" James smirked looking back at him, Shadow stopped, raised an eye brow, and cocked his head to one side,
"What...?" Shadow asked
