Chapter Four

The Deilia looked at Amy in confusion "Shadow do you have any idea about this wolf boy" she asked, "umm mabey" he replied in a cool tone with on hand behind his head.

Flare bounced over to them "Wow Shad your in deep this time!" she giggled in a soprano voice, Shadow snarled at the young hedgehog but she grinned at him before dancing away.

A black hedgehog rounded the corner "Dark" Shadow welcomed his younger brother "Shadow" he said in a pleased voice.

"Looks like us guys are gonna have some fun this millennia" he chuckled, Shadow snarled at him as his gazed towards Amy.

Dark nodded in agreement "Sorry" he said apologetically "My name is Dark and yours?" he asked kissing Amy's hand" Amy blushed wildly.

"My name is Amy,….. Amy Rose" she replied flustered from his presents, he smirked at her "Nice to meet you but now I am needed else where" he exclaimed walking off.

"Nice umm family' Amy fake smiled, "Yeah I guess" Shadow smirked.

Darso looked at Amy "Now tell me more about this Sonic" he exclaimed "Does this mean the pack might be back" Deilia mind talked to her husband "possibly" he replied.

"What pack!?" Amy exclaimed loudly, the elder hedgehogs stared at her in astonishment "You heard the conversation we just had?" she asked.

Amy glanced around with confusion "didn't we all?" she said as she exchanged worried glances with Shadow.

Deilia shook her head "no Dear my husband was talking to me in our minds how could you have heard us?", Darso walked over to Amy "Miss Rose I feel that it would be wise if you got out of our affairs before you become part of this war".

Amy looked up at Darso "Your not going to hurt Sonic are you?" she growled slightly fresh tears springing from her emerald orbs.

Shadow grimaced "Amy if worse comes to worse we will kill Sonic" he whispered, Amy turned at him stunned "you wouldn't…. You couldn't! No I Wont let you!" she snarled her eyes sparkling with power.

Deilia glanced at her eyes wide with shock "No… it couldn't possibly be" she gasped not taking her eyes off of Amy.

Darso turned and faced his wife "It couldn't possibly be Amelia Rose" he mind talked to her, she replied swiftly "I don't know Darso I just don't know".

Amy glared at them "I will Rip you limb by limb before I let you hurt Sonic" she hissed her eyes blinded by an unknown rage.

Shadow grabbed her by the shoulders and steered her away from his parents, he looked down at her his ruby eyes clouded and fearful "Amy I think it is better for us all if you leave" he mumbled.

She glared at him "So you can hurt Sonic is that what you want Shadow! you may not want me to be in this so called WAR but now I am gonna have to fight I don't know who for but I wont let you and your family hurt sonic" she snarled.

Shadow grabbed her hand and squeezed it "Amy you don't understand Sonic is putting you in danger and I must protect you" he whispered tickling her rose ear.

Amy glanced up at him tears in her emerald eyes "Shadow I may not understand but the love…we share isn't right you know that don't you" she whispered not taking her eyes off of Shadow.

Shadow gazed at his feet "I have always known that Amy but he is not what you need" he whispered, "And what are you Shadow! Do you think you are what I need!" she wailed tears flowing down her cheeks.

She closed her eyes and fell to her knees covering her eyes with her hands "Shadow I think you are the one who doesn't understand I don't even know who I am anymore so how could YOU understand!" she sobbed.

Shadow sat next to her putting his arms around her and pulling her closer to him, Amy sobbed into Shadow's black shirt "I may not understand Amy but I will do what ever it takes to protect you even if it costs me my cursed life" he whispered.

Amy hugged him closer her eyes still watery "Shadow I couldn't…. I just couldn't let you die for me" she replied.

Shadow glanced down at her "Amy don't worry about me" he said leaning down towards her, she looked up at him just in time as his lips touched hers.

Amy pulled away astounded by his actions "Shadow I cant stay here im only putting you in danger I will fight this battle alone" she replied pushing herself up.

Shadow was already up before her standing in her way "No Amy I wont let you" he snarled, Amy glanced at him tears forming in her eyes "Shadow!" she said pushing him aside and running out of the door "I love you!" she shouted running off into the dark alley ways.
