The Promise

By Doveheart

Gamma just left the room slowly, leaving nothing but echoes of his metal feet pounding on the hard concrete floors of her apartment. The silence was terrible, it was sucking the life you of Amy as she stood there. "Is this what it feels like to have your life in someone else's hands? The feeling where you can die at any moment and when you go up there you will feel terrible for all entreaty? It's too much!" She screamed in her head as she left her apartment slamming the door behind her. She ran down the stairs and out her apartment as if trying to escape what just happened there.

Down Main Street she ran, faster and faster. Her eyes milk white from fright, and her skin turned to the color of paper and it looked that fragile. Should she go to the police? No, Eggman was always watching her. She could never run from him. He would always be there, looming over her shoulder like a lie that would never go away. Like someone she killed haunting her from beyond the grave. She wouldn't be able to get rid of him. Even if she tore off the thing it would kill Shadow and he didn't deserve that. She ran and ran and ran. Until she came to the sea; its clear crisp blue waters seemed welcoming. She wanted to jump in there and never come out. "Yes!" she thought gripping her chest, sweat pouring down it, "This is my solution. My escape exit. This way I can save myself and Shadow."

Looking down at the clear blue waters, Amy began to feel dizzy. Maybe it was all the pressure from being threatened? I don't know. But Amy was going suicidal, she needed a knew route and this seemed like the perfect way. She could save herself and Shadow and none of them would have to suffer. "Yes . . ." She thought looking at the water. She looked at the water just as she was beginning to tip in and thought she saw Shadow in the reflection, "I'm sorry she whispered." As she closed her eyes. But suddenly she stopped, something was on her arm.

"Good thing I got here in time!" huffed a voice. Amy turned around slowly to see Shadow, out of breath but smiling.
