Mephiles!
Amy was taken to her room. A doctor came and checked her. He told everyone that it was caused by lack of sleep. He left short after. Shadow knew that the real reason was heartbreak. It pained him to see her hurting because of her heart. Sonic and him were both in her room looking at her. Sonic's hand stung him. He turned to Amy and shuck his head. He made a fist and left. Amy was sleeping through all of this. Shadow stayed by her. HE sat next to her. He smiled as he saw that she was waking up. She opened her eyes half way. When she saw him, tears began to fall.
"Don't…." Shadow said wiping the tears away. Amy nodded and closed her eyes to keep from crying.
Shadow stroked her quills and smiled. Amy opened her eyes again. She sighed and tried to sit up. He helped her. They looked at each other. Amy motioned forward for a hug. Shadow held her close to him. Amy let tears fall. Her heart was in pain but nothing seems to cure it. Shadow rubbed her back to calm her. She sighed and looked over his shoulder. They were alone. She looked out the window and saw that the bright day turned into a scary night.
"Amy…I….I need to go." Shadow said putting his ears down.
"But. No! No you can't go!" Amy said parting from him. Shadow sighed and bowed his head. He looked up to the ceiling and sighed again. He laid flat on his back staring up to the white ceiling.
Amy crawled up beside him. She laid with him but looked at him with pain. He had his eyes half closed. He appeared to be thinking. But of what? Amy stroked his quills, hoping that he wouldn't brush her hand away. He closed his eyes and allowed her to pet him. She looked at him then looked to the door. She was scared of everything now. She stopped petting him. Amy drew closer to Shadow and curled up next to him. He put his arm around her. She shuck in fear. So he placed his other arm around her. He was now hugging her and holding her close. She laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes. She felt safe, but if she slept will he leave?
"Go to sleep Amy." He said sounding tired. Amy shuck her head.
"You really need to." Shadow said sternly.
"But you'll leave if…."
"No I won't. So go to sleep." He said closing his eyes.
Amy sighed but placed her hand on his quills. She stroked them and slowly went to sleep. Shadow took her hand and held it tight to his heart. He sighed and opened his eyes. She was asleep. He smiled at her sleeping figure and kissed her forehead. He slowly went to sleep holding the poor heart broken female.
"You caused this!" Sonic yelled to the shadows.
"Oh no I didn't fool. It was you and your heart. If it weren't for that sign of affection then her poor Shadow wouldn't have run off. Now after saving him, she's in bed heart broken. Now's my chance to strike!" Mephiles yelled in an evil happiness. He turned from a hedgehog into a dark cloud. He floated towards Amy's room.
"No! Leave her alone!" Sonic yelled running after him. Mephiles laughed as he lost Sonic in a hallway. Sonic never saw this hallway. He was lost.
"No! No, no, no, no! Amy! Mephiles leave her be!" Sonic yelled running around the halls.
Mephiles found the room. He glided under the crack of the door and saw the two hedgehogs. Amy was sleeping soundly against Shadow. The room felt cold and she shuck. Feeling her shake, Shadow brought her closer to him. She stopped shaking and went back to sleep.
"Perfect. Her dreams." Mephiles said evilly. He rose up and circled the couple. He swirled around them and vanished into Amy's mind.
"No! Oh go away! Help! Shadow help me! Argghh!" Amy said in fear. It woke Shadow up and he felt he struggling from something.
"Amy. Amy wake up!" Shadow said shaking her.
Amy tossed and turned. Her eyes shot open and she started to cry. Shadow helped her up. She cried on him. Sonic was at the door when he finally found her room.
"What happened!?" Sonic yelled.
"It was horrible! Bright green evil eyes. He was scary and he….." Amy couldn't finish. She went closer to Shadow. He stroked her back and looked at Sonic.
"No. He's in your mind……….Amy don't follow his orders!" Sonic said running up to her.
"Orders? What are you talking about!?" Shadow asked confused.
"But he said that if I don't he'd kill…"
"Me or Shadow. I know Amy." Sonic said.
"Will somebody tell what's going on?" Shadow asked anxiously.
"No……….he said that….he'd kill…..me." Amy said weakly.
"What!?" Shadow said looking at her with fear.
"No! No he's trying to get the kingdom!" Sonic said in fear.
"And if I don't follow his orders correctly, he will kill Shadow." Amy said bowing her head.
"Who is this!" Shadow yelled looking at Sonic.
"Mephiles." Sonic said through gritted teeth.
"No." Shadow yelled in fear.
"What is it Shadow? You…you know him!" Sonic said in disbelief.
"Yes. He took control of me many years back. But since I refused to carry out his final request……he….killed." Shadow turned away and sighed.
"Who? Who did he kill?" Amy asked.
"Everyone. But he started with a close friend of mine." (Think. Who's Shadow's closest friend?)
"We need to stop him!" Sonic yelled.
"He won't be stopped. You can only weaken him." Shadow yelled.
"How do you know all of this?" Amy asked.
"I was the one who weakened him and threw him down the falls. But I'm guessing Sonic found him and here we are." Shadow said in anger.
Then Amy began to feel dizzy.
"Ohh….what's happening?" She asked weakly. Then she fainted in Shadow's arm.
"He's draining her!" Shadow yelled. He picked her up bridal style and set her on his lap. She winced as if in pain. She squeezed Shadow's hand and started to cry.
"What do we do!?" Sonic yelled. Then the sky outside turned red and black. A clear sign of evil.
"She will have to defeat him." Shadow said stroking her quills.
"What! No! She won't be able too!" Sonic yelled looking at Amy.
"We can't do anything Sonic. Mephiles is in her mind. She'll be the only one to defeat him." Shadow said holding her close.
Sonic looked away. He growled and threw a punch to a metal suite of armor that was on display. He kept his anger at it's boiling point.
"Amy. If you can hear me, don't give him anything. Fight it. He fears love. Keep the ones you love close to your heart. The stronger the love the less powerful he becomes." Shadow whispered in her ear. He kissed her head and rocked her. There was nothing him or Sonic could do for her now. All they could really do was keep their love for her.
