The door didn't seem like it would hold for much longer. The queen was trying to open the door out to the garden, using everything that could open it from lock picking to brute force. Jules was trying to keep the door shut.

Sonic continued studying the blade in his hands, thinking on his father's words.

"My prince?"

Sonic's head snapped up and met Shadow's gaze.

"..Yeah?"

"When Scourge gets in I want you to run." Shadow said.

"What!?" Sonic said incredulously. "I'm not going anywhere."

"I'm just- I'm trying to.." Shadow sighed. "The last thing I want is for you to get hurt."

The blue teen blushed and looked down, his sword once again an item of interest. Sonic's pink blush darkened when he saw the reflection of it in the steel blade.

"Thanks for thinking of me but he's my cousin I need to do this.."

"Or we both can." The ebony said.

"Huh?" The others gaze snapping back up. Sonic's eyes widened when he was met with a kiss. Just as quickly as it started the ebony hedgehog pulled back from azure.

"I can't lose you."

Just as the blush began to fade, the color returned to Sonic's cheeks. Neither noticed but a certain princess saw and heard what was said between the two. She wrapped her arms around herself and tried to stop even more sobs from coming out. Amy still had the dagger hidden in the arm of her glove.

'Is this why he doesn't like me..? He chose the monster over me?' She thought.

"Aha!"

Everyone's attention went to Aleena. The door to the outside was open.

"The stable is close by through here," She said. "We just need some horses and-"

"And what? Let Scourge win." Shadow said.

"E-excuse me?"

"He's right Mother. If we leave then Scourge gets the throne by default." Sonic pointed out.

"I haven't thought of that.." She said.

"Father, get out of the way. This has to end." Sonic said.

The king hesitated but moved. The door was now quickly failing to stay shut.

Aleena went out. "I'll try to keep an on things out here."

"I'll help you." Jules said. "Keep my son safe."

Shadow nodded.

Amy never left her spot. Sonic walked over to her.

"Princess, you need to go." He told her.

"He loves you doesn't he..?" She sniffed.

"Huh.."

"I saw him kiss you, you love him too?" Amy asked.

"I.."

"Princess you need to go." Shadow stepped in.

Amy reluctantly walked to the door, Jules put an arm around her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her as the three other hedgehogs walked away.
