Chapter 10

It was extremely early in the morning. 2:31 to be exact. Neither Amy nor Sonic could sleep well that night. Although their body was technically asleep, their minds were as active as ever…

Darkness…Amy and Sonic are standing together in the darkness. All they can see is the few feet around themselves. Barely. There's nothing. Nothing apparently there…

Then there's a sound. "W-what was that Sonic?" Amy asks with fear in her voice.

"I…I don't know…" Sonic answers hesitantly.

Another sound reveals itself. It sounds like something's around them, but they can't see…The sounds become more frequent. They become louder. Then there's something that sounds like a growl. The gnashing of teeth.

"S…Sonic?" Amy quietly whispers to the blue hedgehog, who what equally afraid.

Then a creature of some sorts lashes out at the two young hedgehogs. Sonic shoves Amy out of the way and barely dodges the attack himself.

"What the hell was that!?" Sonic yelled out quickly.

"I don't know!!" Amy frantically replies, fighting back tears of sheer terror. She ran over to Sonic quickly and threw her arms around him for comfort.

Sonic hugger her back, but quickly realized they were sitting targets. He got her arms off of him at lightning speeds.

"Amy, we can't just sit here!"

The creature flew through the darkness again, and just barely missed the two as Sonic dodged with Amy's arm in his hand. Another lucky save.

"Sonic…What's going to happen to us?" Amy quietly mumbled because she was so terrified.

"It will be ok…It will. Don't worry…" Sonic tried to reassure her. But even Sonic didn't know, it seemed so hopeless. He had no idea where they were, or really, how they got there. He didn't know how to handle this one; an enemy that he can't even see is pretty useless to fight against…

Sonic picked Amy up in his arms bridal style and did the thing he knew best. He ran. He ran with Amy as far as he could. As fast as he could. Somehow, he had to get them out of there. Now.

But no matter how fast he ran, he could still hear that creature stalking him…It seemed to never miss a beat. And even worse, it seemed that it had gained some support. It seemed as if there were now 4 or 5 of the odd things.

"Sonic…" Amy said quietly, trying to confirm she was still alive.

"It will be ok Amy…" Sonic said quietly. But again, he had no idea of that himself.

One of the odd creatures tried to cut him off. Sonic jumped over it quickly and Amy shrieked. This pattern continued for about 5 more minutes, the unknown creatures trying to stop the hedgehog's tracks. But every time, Sonic managed to barely avoid certain doom.

After about 10 more minutes of running, it seemed that the creatures had left. Sonic had been running blindly into the darkness, not having a clue where he was taking Amy. He was now extremely tired, and stopped to rest. The creatures had left anyway, he might as well…

He set his love down back on her feet and sat in the darkness. Amy sat next to him and leaned against his shoulder.

"Sonic…What's going on?" Amy asked him in a shaky voice.

"I…I seriously don't know Amy…But I'll find a way to get you out of here…" Sonic tried to comfort her. "…I have to…" He added quietly. Amy closed her eyes tightly and hugged his arm.

Suddenly, the noises came back. The two hedgehogs quickly got back on their feet and attempted to figure out where their assailants were. But it was useless, the sounds seemed to echo all around, making them seem to be coming from everywhere.

"Amy, I want you t-" Sonic stopped mid sentence with a jolt. Amy looked in shock and screamed out loudly.

Sonic slowly looked down and saw a long, claw-like object sticking out of his stomach. The intense stab had sprayed blood all over the ground and Amy. The tears Amy was attempting to hold back now ran hot down her face as she saw the blood; the blood of her friend. No, more than her friend…She had fallen back in love with him. In that instant, for some reason, Amy loved Sonic again. They looked into each other's eyes for a split second, and that moment seemed to last forever.

And then, as if they were talking telepathically in that frozen moment of time, Sonic began to speak.

"Amy…" He started, "I want you to know that no separation can ever stop my love for you…"

"Sonic, please don't go…!"

"I'm sorry Amy, it's too late for me now…Get out of this place. Somehow. I want you to live…"

"But…But I love you! I love you Sonic! Please, you have to survive…!"

"…I love you too, Amy."

The time paradox ended, and the claw retracted from Sonic's stomach. He fell to the ground, blood poured all over.

"SONIC!!" Amy shrieked. "SONIC!!" She fell to her knees and began to sob her love's name.

"Don't leave me…Please Sonic, you can make it!!" Amy was sobbing out anything to try and bring him back, but she knew it was useless. Sonic was going to die, and she couldn't stop it.

"I…I l…I love you…Amy Rose…" Sonic barely managed to groan out, the pain too intense to really say anything else. He was loosing blood fast; he was already very pale. He managed to open his eyes weakly and see his love one last time. The sight of her in so much pain was unbearable, yet the sight of her seemed to calm his soul.

When Amy saw Sonic looking at her, it nearly broke her heart. The thought of him using the last of his strength just to see her one last time was extremely romantic, as well as saddening. Her tears were now of love and sadness mixed; it was an odd feeling.

Then, out of sheer will, Amy laid next to Sonic with him in her arms, and closed her eyes. "I love you too…Sonic the Hedgehog…" She murmured. Then, Amy Rose let her life go. She willed herself to die, right there, beside her love. They had died together. Amy's soul took on the task of sharing the pain that Sonic's was, and when they had finally passed, they were together without anything in their way.

At the same time, Sonic and Amy sat up in shock. They had had the same nightmare at the same time. They didn't know it yet, but there really was a bond between them...Something beyond just physical want. But niether of them really knew. That's how they had the same dream at the same time...each of them were dreaming from their perspective however.

Nevertheless, this is a rare quality to have...
