Sonic walked up to the doors of Chris's home and was just about going to open the door when he heard someone crying from the next room. The light was off but someone was in there, crying no less. Sonic walked around the house but stopped at the kitchen window. Backing away so that he could see what's inside but they couldn't see him he saw Amy with her head on the table in a small puddle of her own tears from the light of the moon. He looked to the ground in defeat as he continued his walk around the house. He needed to get away from Sally and closer to Amy. He loved Amy with all of his heart but his feelings for Sally came back to the surface. He was just so jumbled up inside that he didn't know which way was up. Sonic was tired of the regular ramblings of his head and his heart, he ran. He ran faster than he ever would of for a regular run. He ran like the problems of the world were just over his shoulder.
Amy was tired of crying and wanted to do something. She was strong enough to stay out of the hospital. That poison was completely gone from her system and she wanted to be with Sonic. She lifted her head from the small puddle on the table and looked out the window. The full moon's ghostly glow poured into the dark kitchen. She smiled and rushed out into the hallway. She thrust open the door and rushed out. Her heart pounded harder and harder as she ran in the opposite direction of Sonic. Her heart begged for another chance to make up with Sonic.
"Sonic I'm sorry," she cried as she ran. Not as quickly as Sonic but fast enough to get away from the house.
Sonic was running against the wind and suddenly managed to hear the soft cries of his rose. He stopped and listened as they grew fainter and fainter. He rushed back to the house as fast as his legs would carry him.
"Amy!" he cried as he burst through the already broken door, "Amy!!" He rushed to the living room where the rest of his friends were sitting and didn't see her.
"Sonic what's wrong?" Sally asked as she stood up. He shook his head and quickly raced back out of the door. He noticed the trees in the distance sway with the breeze and ran towards them feeling the sorrow that Amy had left behind.
Amy had too big of a lead for Sonic to catch up very quickly. She ran until her heart was ready to give out. She collapsed at the bottom of the horrid waterfall that had been her cause to run away. She lay on the bank too tired to move. Her body was locked into position. She didn't even hear Sonic burst from the bushes behind her. She was already asleep and rolled into the water.
"Amy," Sonic said with relief as he pulled her back onto the shore. Amy didn't feel Sonics warm touch to her stone cold face until he had planted a soft kiss onto her lips. She twitched and her eyes slowly opened to see a tear marked face of a blue hedgehog.
"Sonic?" Amy asked trying to make sure that she was still alive. He nodded as more tears fell onto Amy's now warming face. They embraced each other for the first time for a very very long time and didn't let go.
"Aww isn't that sweet?" a voice said from the dark side of the opposite bank. Sonic looked up and saw Emma and Sally standing there watching.
"Yeah I know but it's still such a shame that I have to kill him now," Sally said as Sonic squeezed Amy closer to him. They both jumped over the river in a single bound and landed without a sound three meters from where Sonic and Amy were.
"Sally, Emma what are you talking about?" Amy asked softly as she looked from Sonics arms. Emma chuckled and Sally kept a straight face.
"You see Amy Rose," Emma said, "I was the next in line to inherit the blood ruby but your mother suddenly gave birth to an heir. But I had no idea that your mother could even have a child because I had screwed with her system. So I had decided to get rid of her but you were with her and the ruby won't listen to anyone except the rightful heir. So now I have to kill you and become the rightful heir. Sally was indeed dead but when you ran away you had wished never to hurt Sonic again but you still loved him. The ruby mistook your wish and brought Sally back to life. I found her and convinced her that Sonic was alive and well. We both made a deal that if she helped me kill Amy then she could have you, Sonic, and half of the blood ruby's power." Sally smirked at Amy but didn't say another word.
"You lie!" Sonic growled at her as Emma laughed. Sonic stood up with Amy in his arms and backed away.
"There's no use running," Sally said, "We'll just catch you again." It was Sonic's turn to laugh.
"I wasn't well I was still mouring over her death before Amy ran away," he said as he let Amy down and stood in front of her, "Sally I don't love you anymore. I love Amy and no one else. Besides if you were going to kill me then why didn't you do it already?" Sally stopped smiling and got mad. Really mad.
"Because," she said straining not to blow up, "I S-S-ST-STILL L-L-LO-LOVE Y-Y-YOU. I can't hurt you." Amy watched as Sally broke down and cried."Why did I die? I didn't want to but I did!" she screamed as Sonic held his position. Emma rolled her eyes.
"Get up you worthless chipmunk," she said as Sally stayed put. Emma grabbed Sally's fragile arm and pulled her to her feet. Sally stood up but didn't stop crying.
"Sally," Amy said quietly from behind Sonic, "You can be with Sonic." Sally and Sonic stopped and turned to her.
"What?" Sonic asked as Amy's eyes overflowed with tears. She didn't make a sound; there wasn't even a simple sob that escaped Amy's throat.
"I know that fate wasn't fair to you and I understand. But I've given you a second chance at life Sonic admitted that he still loves you so be with him," Amy said as Sally shook her head.
"Amy I can't. He loves you too," she said, "We can't both have him." Sonic looked from one girl to the other.
"Then let him decide," Amy said as Sonic froze. How could he choose between two. He almost lost Amy but he had lost Sally. But they were both back there with him. He knew that Sally didn't belong in this world and that she couldn't be with him. Amy belonged here, she still had purpose.
"Ugh," Emma said as the silence was broken, "If you won't kill them then I will!" She put a tube the size of a straw up to her mouth and blew. Two death darts flew out. Sonic was fast enough to dodge his but Amy wasn't. He quickly spun around and covered Amy with is body. The two darts made contact with his shoulder blades and pierced his skin.
"Sonic?" Amy asked as Sonics expression went blank. Amy couldn't make a move as Sonic fell into the river. The emerald eyes that were once filled with tears ran dry with hate and sorrow. Sally rushed over to Sonics sinking body and knocked Amy back into reality. They both were able to drag him out and take the darts out. Emma smiled and shot another at Amy but she saw it coming and moved out of the way. She rushed at Emma and tackled her. They both splashed into the river and fought.
Sally stayed by Sonics side as he took his last breaths.
"Sally," Sonic said as she leaned down to his side, "I'm sorry but I have to be with Amy." Tears fell from her face and landed onto his dying body.
"I know," she said, "But you won't if you keep going like this." Sonic chuckled and the venom pulsed through his veins. He groaned in pain and clutched her hand.
"I love you Sally," he said as she nodded. She bent down and kissed him on the lips.
"And I you Sonic that's why I have to do this," she said as she placed her hands on his wounds and sucked the venom from his body into hers. He was still weak and couldn't do anything to stop her.
Amy dodged an attack from Emma and she dove for her legs. They went farther and farther downstream and into the rapids. Amy grabbed a large rock clinging for dear life before she was sucked into the water like Emma. She bobbed up and down in the water and screamed as she fell down the waterfall that almost killed Amy before. Amy watched in shock as a giant log came crashing into her path. She tried to climb onto the rock but the moss that had grown there throughout the years clung as strongly as Amy did. She watched as it bobbed and barreled closer and closer. She dived under the rock and waited for the log to explode on the rock.
'So this is it?' Amy asked herself as she looked up from under the water. The dark shadow of the log brushed by the rock and kept going. She emerged from the water and saw a familiar face on top of the rock smiling down at her.
"Amy that must be getting cold," he said as he reached down for her. She reached up but slipped on the rock and bobbed into the rapids. She struggled to grab anything that would save her from the watery grave that Emma now rested in. Sonic jumped from the bank to different rocks that were sticking up and struggled to reach her hand.
"Sonic!" she screamed as the edge drew closer. He stopped at the closest rock to the edge and reached to grab Amy's hands. She bobbed up and down with the current and reached for Sonics approaching body. Just in time he grabbed Amy and pulled her into safety. He bounded over the river and placed her next to Sally's body.
"She saved me," he said as Amy looked at Sally's unmoving body. Sally didn't want to hurt anyone. She just wanted to be with the hedgehog she loved.
Sonic and Amy were able to give Sally a proper funeral after that day. They visit her every month and twice on Sally's birth month. They may never know where the location of the blood ruby is but Amy was still able to use its powers to save and help her friends.
