Shadow's POV

I didn't care that Amy was squeezing the life out of me as I just simply enjoyed the moment. I wasn't long before I felt different as the numbing pain quickly faded away and my fatigue was fully restored. She let me go as I sat up and looked around noticing that my senses were sharper as could see further or closer, sense of smell was better, and I could feel the essence of life that the others around me gave off, but most of all I felt powerful.

"Shadow is everything ok?" Amy asked me seeing my expression

"Yes my rose," I replied as I put my arm around her "I'm just adjusting."

"So when were you two dating?" Knuckles asked surprised looking at Tails who just shrugged his shoulders

"Dating? Dating isn't something I want," I told him feeling Amy's shock, but turned to the faker who had a very dark essence glaring at him in rage "And who might you be since you're not Sonic?"

"Forgive me and my actions, my lord" he said as he took a knee lowering his head "my name is Invidia as I was the right hand of the old king and your friend Sonic is my host."

"So what will you do now seeing has your old king is gone?" I demanded

"Continue to fulfill his last wishes till the end." He replied as he rose up and took a few steps back as he added "Though I may not agree with him to leave fate up to others, but his orders are absolute and so must yours when you or should you chose to rule, young king."

Invidia suddenly lifted into the air a few feet as his whole body began to glow. A ghostly figure came out of the body with dark golden brown eyes.

"Sonic the hedgehog, despite my actions for ruining your life, I declare you my successor and give you all my powers!" Invidia said as he slowly dissolved away as some of Sonic's quills turned a darker shade of blue.

When the ghost was completely gone Sonic slowly came back down as he fell to one knee then put one arm down to brace himself as he held his head with the other. I knew he was back, but I could feel Amy was trouble by what I had told Knuckles. It was the truth, dating isn't something I wanted because I already have what I want as she would find out very soon.

Amy's POV

There was so much going on at once that I hardly notice what happened to Sonic as Shadow's words seemed to have haunted me. I snapped out of my thoughts as Sonic began to speak

"Wow, my head hurts like crazy."

"Sonic, is… is that you?" Tails asked nervously

Sonic had opened his eyes as his emerald green eyes were shining brightly and smiled

"The one and only, buddy!" he said only to get tackled as Tails flew to him hugging him

Shadow still had his arm around me, but I was unsure how to feel not knowing what he really meant from what he said to Knuckles. He suddenly tightened his grip and pulled me closer as he whispered to my ear

"Rose, don't trouble yourself with doubts you already know how I feel about you."

"How did you…" I asked surprised

"Let's just say I could sense it," he replied in his smoothing voice

"But what did you mean by dating isn't what you wanted?" I asked him fearing for the worse

"Amy that is the truth. Dating isn't something I want…" he said then lifted my chin so our eyes could meet as I saw the truth in his eyes "because why date when I already know their true feelings are the same as mine."

I blushed like crazy then noticed sonic was watching as he came closer then began to speak

"Amy, I'm sorry and as Invidia told you that's how I really felt about you, though I know this isn't the time to be asking this even thought I did hear shadow say dating wasn't his thing. So I was…" he said blushing and scratching nose before shadow interrupted him

"It's true that I did say that 'Sonic'," Shadow said catching all of us by surprise as he never called Sonic my his name as he always had called him faker "that's because she is already mine as I am hers"

In that instance Shadow put me in front of him as he then bit my ear causing me to moan uncontrollably. Leaving his mark stating that I was now his and no one else's. Both Tails and Knuckles mouths dropped open in shock as Sonic took this surprise the hardest as he growled in anger at shadow for doing this right in front of him. When Shadow was done he whispered seductively into my ear causing me blush even harder

"I'm sorry for hurting you out of the blue, but I'll defiantly make it worth your while tonight my rose."

"SHADOW you had no right to…!" Sonic shouted out before Shadow and I appeared right in front of him with shadow's knee already in his stomach

Sonic fell down holding his stomach as Shadow stared down at him with anger. I was shocked at how we moved this quickly without Shadow even saying chaos control or lifting me up to move.

"'YOU' don't have the right to ask Amy for forgiveness from what you did to her before all this had ever happened." Shadow shot back at Sonic then turn his gaze to me softening his expression as he did "Do you have anything you want to say to him?"

Tails and Knuckles just stood where they were unsure if they wanted to help their friend or not, but were also very curious about what Shadow was talking about. I didn't know what to say or do as Shadow waited for me patiently. Looking down to sonic the memory of chasing him and what he did to me replayed causing me to gather my strength and began to speak.

Sonic's POV

What in the hell is going on? Shadow is now faster and stronger than before and now he even has the girl of my dreams that I had to accidently hurt. This just really sucks. I finally recovered enough from Shadow's hit to the stomach to look up in time to see Amy start speaking.

"There is something I do want to ask," She said looking down to me "did you or did you not mean to do what you did to me when I ran after you along the beach?"

"No, but I only meant to…" I said before she cut me off

"You only meant to what?!" she cried out as tears were running down her face "Did you even look back to see what you had done to me?"

"No, but after a…" I tried to say

"My whole body was twisted up and I would've probably died if it wasn't for Shadow!" she cried out still cutting me off

She raised her hand and swung it with all her might towards me. I closed my eyes as I knew I had deserved it, but felt nothing. Opening my eyes I saw that Shadow had caught her hand stopping her from smacking the hell out of me. She fell to her knees while Shadow slowly went down with her only taking a knee.

"Why… Why… did you stop me?" Amy asked Shadow through her crying

"Because one can't not look at things from just one side even if they were in the wrong" he said "Yes, he deserves it, but he has also suffered. Not as much as you, but he had to witness someone take over his body and then try to kill the ones he cared for."

I was taken back from Shadow's words as I never known him to care or defend for anyone, but to defend me I soon had a huge change of thought about him. Though I could help, but wonder how he figured all that out as it was what actually what had happened. I watched as Amy just buried her face into Shadow's chest then he picked her up bridal style. He held out his hand to help me up which I accepted, but as I stood up he pulled me close to enough to whisper so no one else could hear

"She will forgive you, but it won't be anytime soon so let her be until she is ready to talk to you again." He said

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked in surprise

"I'm telling you this as a friend," he replied "don't worry about Amy as I will take care of her and see to it that the both of you can be friends again, but" he said as his voice turned really dark "If you ever do anything to her to ruin her day, to hurt her, or try to take her away from me, you would've wish she smacked you with her hammer every day for the rest of your life then the hell I would send you to."

"Um…yeah I… understand." I said really nervously at his threat

With that he walked away from me then turned over to Tails and Knuckles

"Tails you want to stay the night at my place seeing as you don't have a house?" Shadow asked him "you're more than welcome to."

"That would be great actually, but did you have a small house?" Tails asked

"For whatever reason that reminds me where is Rouge and Cosmo?" Knuckles asked in wonder

"Fuck." Shadow said as seemed to remember something then added "Knuckles do you want to sleep over as well? There more than enough rooms and to answer your question Tails, that apartment was nothing more than a safe house."

"Sure." Knuckles said as he and Tails looked at each other in surprise

"Sonic," shadow said as he only turned his head half way looking back to me

"Yeah?" I said surprised

"Take care." He said then shouted "Chaos Control!" and everyone, but me, vanished.

"Thanks." I said as I started running with a tear or two that seeped out as I lost the one love of my life Amy, forever.
