Okay guys so time for chapter two! I'm so excited and I wish I could write so much! I wish there were more stories out there like these but I am up for a challenge to write my own and read them! Anyways time to answer some reviews, so let's see…

Ghostkid33: Yeah that was my reaction, but you have to admit it's getting cool.
ManicKatie2: Thank you! I replied in PM so I don't know what else to say.
Well enjoy the story!
Amy tossed and turned in bed, trying to avoid the morning light that was leaking through her comforter. Her body was beginning to feel restless as she was waking up along with a strange flow of adrenaline, all she felt like doing was running for some reason. Sitting up, the pink hedgehog stretched and yawned loudly without a care since no one else was around. The sunlight looked much more comforting than it was waking her up, brightened up her room. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and gazed around her bedroom that was the same throughout her past five years. It was odd knowing how far she had come since being twelve years old. Even though puberty did its work and she grew more graceful and refined each day, she had the same look as she used to.
Rising to her feet, the rosy hedgehog walked over to her bedroom window and pulled aside the curtain to see her reflection staring back at her through the glass as a reminder. Other than her developments, her face had just matured and looked heart shaped, thus keeping her bit of a childish appearance with her pink quills framed her face and barely touched her shoulders. She sighed in content and turned to face her room.
Yeah Amy Rose, the beautiful and graceful pink hedgehog still out for taking Sonic's heart. Even though I had changed, my love for him hasn't and I think he's actually starting to like me too. The pink hedgehog blushed to herself thinking how her handsome blue hedgehog often found it amusing to tease her in extremely flirty gestures. Even when they were alone there seemed to be an unspoken connection that Amy Rose had begun to feel growing suspicions for. He's matured a lot too, now he knows how people should be treated and that running isn't the only thing in the world, it's scary that he's turning eighteen soon. She shrugged and carried about her everyday morning routine, making her bed, brushing her quills and as usual even to this day, still wearing a similar red dress to what she wore at twelve.
Walking out of her room she went down the hall to the bathroom to brush her teeth and paused a moment to examine herself in the mirror. Her reflection stared back to her with sparkling emerald eyes framed by her long eyelashes. Her only make-up being a touch of mascara and a dip of lip gloss she placed on her unusually sore lips to hopefully catch the attention of her long time crush. She turned to look out into the hallway where a picture of the two was hung up. She smiled at their calm and casual expressions of the two holding peace signs to the photographer where they stood on a pier with a few amusement rides in the background. She glanced into the mirror a moment more before an unusual blotch of red along her neck caught her attention. Lifting up the collar of her dress she saw it trailed deeper to the joint, making the substance seem to be freshly acquired blood. She touched it with her finger, to find it didn't look like new blood, but felt as if dried onto her fur for a few days. She scratched at it, though it remained and then she tried scrubbing it off with a washrag for it to be crusted on.
"How did I get that?" She wondered aloud, gently touching the skin rubbed raw. Shrugging it off, she just turned to walk downstairs Her stomach was full in no need for breakfast so instead she walked out the door and down the path leading to Tail's workshop. She walked in unannounced to hear the annoying high whistle of a kettle.
"Tails?" She called, looking around the workshop and followed the noise into the kitchen. "Tails?" She walked into the small kitchen, first walking over to move the kettle off of the burner. Glancing around she didn't notice anyone and as she moved around the island, she looked down to find the fox slumped against the wall in sleep.
"Oh god! Tails!" She cried, dropping alongside him to shake his shoulder. "Tails!"
The fox's eyes snapped open and blinked in sudden confusion.
"What? Amy?!" He asked, stumbling to his feet.
"Why were you asleep in the kitchen?!" She scolded as the fox walked around to turn the burner of the stove off.
"I guess I nodded off when I thought to rest my eyes a moment." He chuckled to himself taking out some coffee ground to pour a small few into a filter. Amy watched his lagging movements before walking closer to see the bloodshot eyes and dark circles under them.
"Did you sleep at all Tails?" She asked as he finished pouring himself some coffee.
"I had a horrible dream, and I still can't shake the feeling of it." Amy raised her eyes at his trembling hands from just holding the mug. Knowing the fox to be an amazing engineer, he was used to having a steady hand, even on a restless night.
"What of?"
"Nothing big." He squeaked not meeting her eye contact. "That's a lie! Just tell me what happened Tails! Look at you! You're shaking!" The fox gulped heavily before letting out a sigh.
"It's really silly Amy, please don't make me talk about it." He pleaded. The pink hedgehog sighed in frustration before taking a mug from the cabinet along with a tea bag to make a cup of tea.
"Where's Sonic then?" She asked casually, not noticing how the fox tensed at the name.
"Running." He answered quietly before guzzling down coffee. Amy shrugged, not surprised from the answer but thought else of the blue hedgehog.
"Well whatever you dreamed of last night. Just remember it was just a dream. What can happen when your best friend is the great hero of Mobius?"
Tails started coughing on what he was drinking, slamming the cup on the table to pound his hand against his chest.
"Yeah…nothing bad can really happen…I guess." Though he whispered the last part below his breath, in attempt for the female to not hear him.
"Tails-" She started, determined to calm the paranoid fox until the door slammed open. The two jumped in their seats before looking to the back door of the kitchen.
A red echidna stood in the doorway hunched over with a harsh glare to where the two sat. Amy leapt from her seat, seeing he too had the same bloodshot eyes that were bouncing around the room in search.
"Knuckles…what happened to you?!"
"No sleep…" He grumbled.
"You too? What is up with you guys?!"
"That doesn't matter, where is he?"
"Who?"
"The only one not here right now, Sonic!" He yelled.
"You don't need to snap at me!" She retorted, leaning forward on her toes to glare up into his eyes.
"Well you follow him around all the time!"
"What?! I haven't even done that in years!"
"Well don't you still know where he is?!"
"I don't have a clue! That's why I'm here!"
"Guys!" Tails whimpered while placing his hands over his ears.
"You know you're acting like a real jerk Knuckles! I don't know why a little lost sleep can get you so mad."
"I just want to check on that pesky hedgehog! Why I do is none of your business!"
"Hey guys!" A new voice greeted in a positive chirpy voice. The three looked over to the doorway from the workshop to see the blue hero leaning against the frame.
"Sonic?" The three asked in unison. The blue hedgehog only smirked while his jade eyes narrowed. It was the look that he was giving them that sent chills down Amy's spine making her want to run home and lock all of the doors. His gaze locked onto hers and his smile grew wider before he stalked over in her direction.
"Good morning to you all!" As he approached, Amy's foot instinctively moved back without her control and he noticed. "Amy why so distant?"
Why am I feeling scared? She asked herself, looking to the others that both for some reason were diverting their gaze. Something doesn't feel right. She turned back and attempted to smile.
"It's nothing." She murmured quietly before a smile growing over her face. "But you didn't forget about tonight right?"
Immediately she flung herself to him with her arms circling around his waist in a tight embrace.
"What about tonight?" He asked more so curious and calm. Not in a manner at all was he annoyed or flustered as he usually was.
"There's that costume ball at that weird Frey guy's house and he invited us all." She stated simply looking back to the other two, still their eyes looking back to the other two, still their eyes looking anywhere but in their direction.
"Guys, what's wrong with you?! It's only Sonic!" There was a deep chuckle of amusement behind her, while a hand dropped to her side to rest along her hip as to hold her still and pressed against the strong chest of the blue hero.
"That's right, what's wrong with you two?" Sonic asked more so in a teasing voice than out of concern. The two both seemed to look up at the same time and stiffened. Amy gave a puzzled look to them before looking over her shoulder to only see his same jade eyes lowered in a seductive manner with a sly smirk across his face in amusement. They drifted to meet her gaze and he smiled. She stiffened, wanting to back away from his gaze. The eyes that were usually so warm and full of heart felt energy, the eyes she loved to look into for hours. Eyes she fell in love with. But the jade orbs looked more like those of a stranger's. They looked so cold like they were scouting deep within her for a hidden vulnerability.
Instinctively her body stepped away, not knowing why she felt so afraid of the one she loved most. But his hand on her hip stopped her from moving too far away.
"Are you scared of something…Amy?" He name rolled off his tongue as if he never said it before. His other hand rose up to lift one of her pink quills up to examine it. The way his eyes were searching made her feel naked.
"Ummm…well...I…I need to go!" She stuttered nervously, walking out of his hold. "I have to go put together a costume. So I'll see you all tonight, you guys get a little sleep." She paused a moment at the door to look back at the other two, now both of them staring at Sonic as if hypnotized and hadn't heard a word of what she had said.
"Don't worry; I'll take care of them." Sonic assured walking between the two without them even fazing a moment. "We'll just see you tonight…Amy."
"Yeah…okay." She murmured before turning away to run out the door, her feet carrying her faster from the vented urge to run from him earlier. Sonic's eyes coldly watched from the window with a sullen frown on his face.
"It's better to wait…yes much better. It will be much more fun to play with my girl at a party…a costume part." He chuckled, his mind already spinning in development with his new plan. "After all a party is a perfect time to introduce this world's new God. Isn't that right you two?" He smirked, snapping his fingers for the two bodies to stiffen before the heads slowly turned to him with their mouths opening into stretched smiles. Their eyes dilated as slowly the white began to dim black and the irises began to glow red. Sonic laughed loudly, feeling his own disguise seem to melt away off his body for his black and red eyes to come through and his own fur to slightly darken. His razor claws lifted up in front of them, and he carefully narrowed his eyes to view the small long pink hair. Lifting it closely to his nose he breathed it in deeply becoming intoxicated with the scent again.
"Yes…tonight is going to be a very good night. Especially with my little rose."
Well guys that's a chapter of exposition and stuff for you, but I've had a busy day and slept like three hours last night. I can't wait for my next chapters, tehehe it's just going to be so much fun I don't know what to do but I'm going to go nuts by chapter four with some cat and mouse play. I don't know when I'll update again because my computer is in the shop so please be patient with me. Also, who would believe an EXE pairing with Amy in a Hades and Persephone setting would be good? I love all that stuff, but please review and tell me what you are thinking with this.
