Chapter 13: Something You Must Know

Amy rushed over to Sonic, who was laying on the ground, half dead. Amy knew that there was something not right with Sonic, so she knelt down next to Sonic, and softly held his head in her arms. She saw tears from Sonic's eyes. And then Sonic slowly opened his eyes.

"A...Am...Amy?" Sonic called weakly. Amy then started crying herself, because she could not stand seeing Sonic like this.

"Yes, Sonic. It's me. It's Amy." Amy answered. Sonic only gave her a weak smile, because Sonic just didn't have enough stamina.

"A...Amy. You came back to me." Sonic spoke through coughs.

"Of course I came back. I could not bare being away from you any longer. This was all my fault. If only I've gotten here sooner." Amy said with guilt. Sonic coughed.

"No, you didn't have to, Amy. Maybe, it's better. It's better this way." Sonic stated. Amy shook her head with tears flowing through her eyes.

"No, don't say things like that, Sonic! You're going to be alright. Because we're together now. Everything's going to be just fine." Amy stated, with more tears flowing through her eyes. Sonic reached his hand up towards Amy, stroking her quills.

"Well, at least, I've got to see you, one last time. Now I can, die a happy man." Sonic stated to Amy. Amy wasn't going to let this happen to her.

"No Sonic! You can't do this to me! You can't die! I'm here now! You've got no reason to die on me right now!" Amy said through tears once again. Seeing Amy cry was now making Sonic cry.

"And I, could never be, any more, happier. I'm so glad that you're here, because, there's something you must know. I'm not just a warehog." Sonic started. Amy grew confused.

"I was a hedgehog, just like you before. But the thing was, I never had emotions. I never cared about anyone or anything. As punishment, I was transformed into a monster. I never knew what it was like to have emotions. I never even knew what it was like to love, until... I met you." Sonic finished.

Amy was shocked after hearing that. She had no idea that Sonic ever felt this way for her. How was it even possible for a monster to love? This made no sense in Amy's mind, but she was glad to hear it, because no other man has ever told her that before.

"Yes, Amy. I love you. I have always loved you all through the six months you've been living with me. I've always wanted to tell you before, but I couldn't, because I had no idea if you'd ever feel the same about me." Sonic stated, as tears now flowing from his own eyes. Amy continued crying for Sonic.

"And like I said before, I can die a happy man, and that is because after six months, after six long months I have finally got to tell the woman of my dreams that I loved her. And that woman is you, Amy. I love you so much, Amelia Rose. I have always loved you. I will love you now, and forever." Sonic took one last stroke on Amy's quills.

After that, Sonic slowly groaned and his head fell sideways in Amy's arms. Sonic's emerald coloured eyes slowly closed, sheds one last sad tear, and Sonic slowly fell into a deep sleep. The kind he can never wake up from. Amy knows that she's lost him, and she cried over Sonic's dead body, while cradling his head.

"No. No! Sonic, you can't do this to me! You can't leave me now! Please, Sonic, don't leave me! I'll do anything to have you back, Sonic! Please, forgive me! I shouldn't have left you! I didn't know what it was that I've lost, until I've lost it. And it's you that I've lost, Sonic. Please, come back to me, Sonic!" Amy cried, as her tears fell on Sonic's head.

"Now I know how you feel about me, it's time for me to be honest to." Amy stated through sobs.

"I love you, too." she whispered softly. And without noticing, after she made that statement, the last petal fell from the enchanted rose.
