Chapter 2. I'm here without you

Lying on the ground, Amy Rose had magically appeared in the middle of the battle zone. Shadow raised an expectant eyebrow, looking at her from a distance, looking her made a mess and then seeing her fall on her back.

Did she say ... Sonic?

The ruby eyes approached to the pink hedgehog enough to descend one knee to her side, under his hand, placing it on her neck and lightly pressing her jugular vein.

- Still alive - he thought as he got up.

The dark hedgehog turned around just to cross his arms and frown, honestly he didn't have to go through this, according to the report there were three more prototypes of Dr. Eggman prowling the area, if he kept wasting time the Colossi were going to gain more ground and they will only lengthen their search during the night. He move his face to observe her, it was obvious that she was unconscious. She fought with the prototype and caused her such fatigue?. As he remembered, she wasn't so weak. With the look analyzed from head to toe, Shadow then raised an eyebrow in amazement, apparently the years had not passed in vain, now had more feminine proportions.

He twitched her lips as he turned his body toward her, in defeat.

" I had no choice, I couldn't leave here. "

His head hurt horrors, her body felt so heavy that she didn't even have the intention of getting out of bed, she had a night of fright and she thought to stay there until his bones got numb.

- Bed ... - she repeated, while trying to remember when she got home, went to her room and lay on her bed.

As a movie, Amy remembered that she had not even gone anywhere, indeed, she still had in her mind the clear image of her being crushed by the giant robot. Abruptly she opened her eyes with her body and a half up on the ground. By the time her pupils got used to the intense light of the moon, she recognized the small clearing where she was. It was after midnight but the air seemed perfect, it was warm, there wasn't the slightest bit of cold. The wind seemed to whisper so that the leaves of the cherry trees danced dropping the petals on the small rise of land where she was. The young hedgehog sighed with irony, somehow had arrived where her mental ordeal began

Suddenly, the image of the heroic silhouette that saved her life brought her back to herself.

Amy felt her eyes water.

Was he so cruel to save her and then leave her in the middle of the woods?

- Sonic idiot - whining.

- Sonic? - he hear saying.

She gave a start of shock when she turned to see the owner of the imposing voice.

Right next to her, leaning on the cherry tree and with both arms crossed over her chest, Shadow the hedgehog tilted his face to watch out of the corner of his eye as the rose-skin wiped the obvious tears from her cheeks.

- Shadow ... - she muttered, while she carving her eyes - Maybe you ...

- You thought that was that faker? - interrupted him.

Amy suddenly felt her masculine voice hit her inside her head, almost lulling her. Leaving aside the haughty manner in which he spoke, it had been so long since she knew anything about Shadow, the last thing she remembered was that he had become a special agent of G.U.N and according to Rogue he was addicted to his work. Seeing him suddenly, right next to her made a tremendous impression.

Tall, gallant, slightly chunky, onyx-colored, velvety chest, on his head six thorns, four of which curve upwards, and two that curve downward, all with crimson reflections that made him look majestic ... Amy swallowed while slight blush, well ... had he always been like that? And what the hell was happening to her? first sad and now embarrassed, damn adolescence.

Shadow saw her there, completely gone, observing some blind spot of his person. He frowned in exasperation as thundered his fingers, pulling her out of her trance.

- Ehh ... no, of course not - she managed to say, while raising her right palm towards her forehead, shaking it with hysteria, was her or was it very hot here?

Shadow then turned in his direction, giving her a front-row view of his sculptural body.

Amy could hardly react, placing both hands on her nose.

- What did you do outside at night - he snapped.

Then she realized what had happened. Sonic had never been there, indeed, he wouldn't even have knowledge of what was going to happen to her. The only one who saved her from death was none than Shadow.

The jade eyes darkened, her half body still on the grass turned into a rag, dropping both hands in her lap.

She looked down

He felt irritation.

- Running - mumbled.

- By Sonic? - he asked, totally indifferent.

Shadow crossed his arms.

- Not anymore - she whispered - he gets married in two months.

Now it all made sense, the restless and vivacious pink girl had hit the wall. The only thing he could figure out was that she wanted to end her suffering. And fast.

He admired her from her height, inoffensive, helpless and wounded. Now he understood the need of that stupid to save her all the time.

The dark hedgehog grimaced with his lips.

- Is that the reason to bow to suicide? - he claimed.

Amy then felt a fury running through her veins. Who the hell did he think he was? How he dare ?.

Jade eyes met the scarlet. Shadow didn't flinch at the obviousness of her anger, he had hit the nail.

- You have no right ... - she hissed under her breath. She felt anger, pain, less price, it seemed as if he leveled what she was feeling at the very least and that made her angry - You have no idea ... don't come and insinuate that what I feel doesn't hurt ! - She shouted at him, looking at him defiantly from below.

She clung to the fabric of her dress, her hands almost instantly turning pale with the strength of making them fist.

Shadow was still watching her, expectant, patient.

Amy inhaled air.

- I loved him! - She confessed - What can you know about that ?! Surely nobody has cared you so much to feel! Moron! - She exclaimed, panting from the effort.

The scarlet eyes watched intently as her chest contracted.

Up, down, up, down.

She was trying to regain her composure.

- Are you done? - He raised an eyebrow questioningly.

She turned her face, irritated

There was something that didn't fit at all, he was losing the damn time, the damn robots were now scattered, his mission had gone on longer than he should, but he felt the need to be there. He relaxed his gaze while behind her he pictured himself from the past. Pained and misunderstood.

Shadow narrowed his eyes as he inhaled oxygen through his nose, exhaled. Maybe he was going to regret doing this, but he thought it necessary, both for her and for himself.

He raised his right hand to rub his temple, while his left was at his hip.

Got damn it…

- Oddly enough ... - he said, while still rubbing his temple - I think I know how you feel.

Amy looked at him surprised while frowning. He ?, understand ?, yes clear.

- And yes - he paused.

Amy can't understand.

He sat on the grass in the opposite direction of the pink skin, folding her legs slightly leaning forward, resting her elbows on her knees, letting her arms fall into the void.

- There was someone I cared about it so much to feel.

Shadow then looked up at the dark mantle, searching with his rubies something that at first glance couldn't be observed.

Amy relaxed her body, surprised, was Shadow starting a conversation?

- Maria ... - swallowed - i cared her - tilted her eyes to make sure that Amy, a meter behind him, was listening - was my best friend - exclaimed.

Only then did she realize how insensitive she had been, guilt suddenly enveloping her while insulting herself.

What an idiot

He was no longer a complete stranger, there was empathy between them.

Shadow looked up again at the sky. Amy took the opportunity to crawl closer, sitting on her legs and then leaning over, letting herself fall, resting one arm on the ground and the other on her lap.

The black hedgehog didn't flinch.

She looked at him expectantly.

- I was created to be the one and only ultimate life form... - the images of the Ark swirled in his head, doubtful how to start - always surrounded by scientists who only treated me as an object - he explained - then she appeared and for the first time I was treated like someone. - His gaze was then lost in the infinity of the night.

- Do you miss her? - He heard her say.

- More than anything

Amy had then realized the seriousness of her accusations. It was the first time she saw Shadow open that way, she didn't really know how to react, she had a lot of sensations in the stomach, but most of all she felt that this part of him had never known anyone.

She felt praised.

- Sh-she was...? - she asked carefully.

- Like you - she heard him say and couldn't help but blush at the compliment. Shadow then looked at her out of the corner of his eye. - As you were - corrected himself - full of life.

- Oh - she said as she cocked her eyes with a nervous smile, settling a rebellious spike behind her ear.

Now she knew where he wanted to go.

There was a long silence between them. The wind blew and the branches of the tree swayed gently, the petals of cherry trees dropped.

It looked like a snowfall in pink.

- This place - he said suddenly - she would have loved it - a petal rested on his nose, Shadow took it delicately and played it between his fingers, staring at it - She liked to see images of your planet from the Dr Robotnik's computer - released the delicate petal to see it get lost among the others - images of places like these - he added.

Amy then understood. Shadow still remembered his time with Maria.

- Sorry ...- she said, while looking down. - I withdraw what i said.

He turned around, surprised.

He really didn't think about delving into his past, talking to her was so easy, didn't even feel that immense emptiness when he remembered, on the contrary, he felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off.

For the first time, Shadow the hedgehog had shared what he had so long fought to repress. Talk about Maria

Now he felt a little less regretful.

She looked up to meet his scarlet eyes, fixed on her.

She felt the embarrassment on her cheeks, raised her free hand to rearrange a hawthorn on her ear and she look down. What was happening to her? She would never have had such a deep talk with Sonic.

Sonic

She remembered again.

She was also suffering.

- how you surpassed her - she exclaimed.

Their eyes met again, she needed to know.

- Fulfilling my promise - he said.

- Promise? - she asked herself.

Flashback *****************************

- Maybe there are bad people on the planet, and some fight for trivialities, but there are also good people, and they deserve to be saved. Please, save them, give them a chance. - she begged

The pleas sparked in Shadow's memory a memory he had forgotten: just before Maria died, she asked him to give hope to the planet, an opportunity for people to be happy. That was the real promise he made to her and not the revenge against humanity that he had always believed.

A tear ran down his cheek at the memory.

- Shadow?

- I have to go now - he exclaimed - I have to fulfill my promise to Maria and to you.

end*****************************

Shadow had not only decided to keep his promise to Maria, but he would also do it for her.

She felt her head explode from embarrassment at the memory.

Shadow was distracted, scanning the surroundings.

The feeling of disappointment suddenly enveloped her.

" He had lost his memory after that. "

He up suddenly, giving his hand, looking at her. Amy was hesitant to accept, she still felt her cheeks flushed, but she didn't want to be disrespectful. Like a caress she placed her palm gently and with a pull helped her stand up. The tingling in her stomach intensified a lot, was she beginning to feel something for him?

- I must go - he said, as he began to turn on his heels.

Amy felt the loneliness hit her, the need prompted her to hold his hand, squeezing it, slowing it down.

- Wait! - She managed to say.

Shadow turned to look at her, raised an eyebrow of surprise. she still held his hand firmly.

- I-I ... - was not sure why she had done what she did - I want to know ... if you already fulfilled your promise ... What will you do now?

His body was shaking with horrors, Shadow noticed.

- You should go back, it's starting getting cold.

- Answer please.

He frowned.

" Curse "

He didn't know what to answer, the rose -skin stared at him, waiting for his answer. He didn't even know it himself, what he supposed to say?

- I'll find out later - he answered

- Let's find out together! - exclaimed with emotion, releasing him.

- What?

Just perfect!

- In a way we are the same - she explained - you already fulfilled the promise you made ... and I ... I complied with leaving Sonic. - she continued speaking, as she began to surround the hedgehog with both arms in the back, holding her hands - But then?

- then? - He repeated, standing, following her with his eyes.

- We need another purpose to continue - she said - Don't you feel it in that way?

She tilted her face slightly, contemplating him, standing right in front of him. She had said something curiously true, still this morning he had been in conflict over the fulfillment of his promise, a purpose was just what he needed, but together?

- Let's make a deal - she said suddenly - I help you find your purpose and you help me with mine.

Shadow narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms and looked at her sternly.

- No

- Please!

- No

- Be my friend ... - she confessed

Shadow opened his eyes from the impression.

Right there, the pink hedgehog looked at him with pleading eyes, felt a drop of sweat running down his temple. It seemed that she wasn't going to accept a no for an answer, he snorted with annoyance.

- Ok - he mumbled - But under my own terms - warned

Before singing victory, Amy looked at him strangely.

- You will not cling to me like you did with him

- I will not - she replied immediately.

- You will not jump on top of me

- I will not

- You will not give me hugs

- I will not

- And more important - he paused - You will not go after me at midnight.

Amy laughed with irony

- I will not - she said

- I must go - Shadow turned on his heels, took a few steps forward, tilted his face and looked out of the corner of his eye

- I'll see you again?

- Tomorrow, afternoon - he paused - luckily for you ... - closed his eyes, feeling as the breeze of dawn was waving his thorns. Out of nowhere, a slight smile curved his lips - ... I like this place.

And in a blink, he disappeared.

Had she seen well? Did he ... smile?

Suddenly an indescribable emotion enveloped her and she couldn't contain the urge to jump and jump for joy.

She was determined that her second love, at least, was going to be much more than playing cat and mouse, it was going to be lasting, it was going to be repairing, it was going to be what the first one never was. Corresponded.

Maybe their meeting wasn't the most romantic of all, nor were there any signs that Shadow was available, but deep down she wanted to discover it for herself, this time she would do it well, so maybe ... just maybe, who knows .

Amy clasped her hands on her chest, closed her eyes and let the cool breeze of the night cover her.

Please.

Help me to conquer him.

Maria.
