Shadow's POV

I stood far from everyone else. It was June 23, Sonic's birthday. I only came to his party so I can keep an eye on others going after him. Especially that pesky Amy Rose. Always getting in the way of my Sonic! I was not going to watch her take him away from me!

Speaking of which, I saw Amy going towards Sonic and talking with him. I felt my blood boil. Like I was going to turn into a volcano at any given moment and erupt at that bitch. I felt my claws unviel under my gloves, as if I would take them off and cut her entire face off.

I was so lost in thought, I didn't notice an arm wrapped around me.

"So, Shads, you having fun?" the voice asked. I saw Sonic and blushed a bit. He looked so handsome. So pretty. So… HOT! I just gave a nod and looked to another direction to avoid his eyes.

"Well, that's good to hear. Or see?" He pat my back out of appreciation and gave me smile. That smile of his. Always succeeding at making me feel good. I noticed Amy suddenly huggin Sonic from behind.

"Sonnikku! You have to open my present now!" Amy said, giving him wrapped box with a ribbon on top. Sonic took the box and opened it to find a picture frame of the two in it.

"Wow, Amy. This is really nice! Thank you," Sonic exclaimed and went to hug her. I felt myself start to boil that very instance. So much, that I just stormed out of there, drawing some attention. For the rest of the party, I tried my best to avoid everyone until Sonic and I were the last ones there, cleaning the mess up.

"Hey Shadow? Thank's for helping clean the place up," Sonic told me. I just stayed quiet and gave a sentient nod to him. "Hey, was everything alright earlier? When Amy gave me that gift, I mean. I saw you just storm outside as if something was bothering you."

I just glared at him. He didn't know I had feelings for him, and I know he wouldn't feel the same if I just told him. I saw he went back to cleaning and we both were quiet for a while. I, finally, decided to talk.

"Because I felt bad for not getting you anything," was all I said. I heard Sonic give a laugh and came over to me.

"Oh, that's fine! Just you being here for once was all I needed for a present," Sonic said, giving me his signature thumbs up.

We managed to get everything cleaned up. We told each other our "farewells" and I started to head home. By home, I meant go meet up with Amy. I told her during to meet up with me in the forest so I could 'talk' with her. She doesn't know what's about to come.

I reached the forest and saw her sitting on a log, waiting for me. Just as planned. I walked slowly to her. Amy looked up, feeling my presence and smiled.

"There you are, Shadow! I was worried you got lost in trying to get here. So what was you wanted to talk about?" She asked me. I said nothing and started getting closer to her. "Um… Shadow? Y-your creeping me out! What's wrong with you?!"

I saw fear filling up her face. I didn't care if she was scared or not. I was going to killed her right then and there! I took the knife I had on me out and, suddenly, stabbed it right into her neck, watching her eyes fill with fear and pain. Blood began to dribble down her chin and from her neck, covering Shadow completely. He then took the knife and, somehow, successfully severed Amy's head, making her body fall limb. In Shadow's hands, now, was a lifeless head of Amy Rose. He gave a small, menacing smile at her head.

"I hope he likes it…" was all he said when he reached for something behind the log.

Sonic's POV

I sat on my couch, tiredless. Somehow, that party put MORE energy into my veins. I was just flicking through the channels when I had heard someone knocking at my door. At 11:00 PM? I got up to answer the door.

"Um, sorry, but what do you want at almost midni-" I was cut off with a box shoved at him. He looked up to see Shadow all covered in, what looked like, red paint. He was about to thank him, but he saw a dull, insane look on him.

"Happy birthday," was all he said to me. I decided to open the box to see what it was.

I jumped when I saw and dropped it in front of my feet. There, inside the box, was Amy's head, and a note that read "I love you! ~Shadow" I looked to Shadow in fear and shivered when I saw his face. He had such a grimacing smile on him, I thought he was going to kill me next!

"So, Sonnikku," he said, approaching me, "do you like it? I got it specially for you~"

This guy was definitely insane. I started to back up in fear of me being next. "A-are you crazy?!" I shouted, trying not to be too scared. "Why did you have to kill her?!"

"Because… she was in my way of getting to you, my love~" I had never been more afraid of Shadow then now. He kept getting close and had me trapped in my house. I didn't know what to do. Not until getting an idea.

Shadow's POV

I watched my beautiful Sonic as his face was in fear. This was all I wanted. Just him and me all alone, with nobody to stop us. I noticed he started to get into his running stance. I had a feeling he'd run off.

Before he could run out the door, I quickly pulled my gun out, pointed it at his right leg and shot. Seconds later, I saw Sonic on the floor, screaming in pain and hugging his leg close. I went to his kitchen to get something to knock him out with. I found a frying pan in a cabinet and went to him.

"I'm sorry, Sonnikku," I said, wielding the pan above head and examined his body as he looked up at me, still in pain, and tears in his eyes, "I didn't want result to hurting you, but you leave me no choice…"

With those words said, I swung the pan into Sonic's head, knocking him out cold. I went to find a bag in his house and brought it next to him. I then put him in there and went to get the box he dropped. I picked up the box and slung the bag over my shoulder and smiled to myself.

"Sonic… this is all I've ever wanted. Now with Amy gone, we can have all sorts of fun together…" I started to walk out of his house, locking the door behind me, and headed off to a place nobody has ever seen before and won't be able to find us.
