Chapter 16: I Am Not Forever

"A...my?" Shadow whispered, looking down at the girl who was hugging him. He felt that Amy hugged him tighter.

"Please... I want you back. Come back..."

"Amy..." Sam whispered, looking at the two. Amy had her eyes closed tightly. And Shadow looked confused at the girl. Was this working? Was Shadow coming back?

Suddenly, something moved in the corner of Sam's eye. Eggman was moving in towards Amy and Shadow!

"Enough of this! If Shadow can't handle a simple job like this, then I will do it!" Eggman said as he pulled out a laser gun, pointing it at Amy.

Sam looked at Amy, then at Eggman.

"Sayonara, Amy Rose!" Eggman laughed as he pulled the trigger.

Sam gasped. She couldn't do anything. She was glued to the ground holding Sonic.

"Amy! Watch out!" Sam yelled, when suddenly the laser beam changed directions and went up in the sky.

"What? My laser! How could this happen!" Eggman yelled.

"Don't try to hurt our friends, Eggman. Or you will be sorry." A sexy woman's voice said.

Eggman growled. "Argh! Retreat!" (A/N: I just wanted him gone...)

"Rouge!" Sam exclaimed as she saw Rouge standing there. But she wasn't alone. There stood Knuckles, Tails and even Cream. Sonic smiled weakly at the sight of his friends.

"Are you guys ok?" Asked Knuckles.

"I'm fine, but Sonic his hurt. And I don't know about Amy..." Sam said, looking again at the two.

"What is she doing?" Tails asked, as he saw Amy hugging Shadow.

"Shadow is brainwashed," Sam explained, "she's trying to get him back..."

"Why doesn't she just fight him?" Knuckles asked.

"That doesn't work. Shadow is too strong." Sam said, looking sadly.

"Then we will help her fighting him!" Knuckles said, ready to go.

"No!" Sonic said suddenly, making everyone look at him, "Let Amy handle him. Besides, Shadow is too strong, we can't beat him. And Amy knows what to do. She can reach him."

The group stayed quiet, and stared at the two.

Amy, who was still holding Shadow, slowly opened her eyes. She looked up.

"Shadow? Do you remember again? Your memories of Ark? Maria?"

"M-my memories...?" Shadow reached his hand to his head. "N-No! Go away! Leave me alone!" Both of his hands were now gripping his head. His head hurt. All this... This was too much. He was seeing pictures in his head. Too much of them, but they wee all a blur. He couldn't see them clear. He saw blurs of pink, blue, yellow, but he couldn't see what it was.

And it made him go crazy.

"No! Leave me alone!" Shadow yelled his eyes tightly closed.

"Shadow! Please, try to remember!" Amy said, tears streaming down her face. She was still holding him tightly.

The other were watching with sadness in his eyes.

'Hang on, Amy...' Sonic thought as something green flew past his face. 'What?' He saw what it was.

"What's this?" Sam asked as she and the other saw it too.

"Chaos emeralds..." Tails said as the other 6 made it's way to Shadow and Amy.

"What are they doing?" Knuckles asked as they formed a circle around Shadow and Amy.

"Chaos emeralds... Why are they here?" Amy whispered as she saw them, shining brightly.

Suddenly, Shadow gave a hard and painful cry. The emeralds began to shine brightly. Blinding brightly. Everyone covered their eyes as Amy and Shadow were surrounded by the blinding light. Amy also closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, the light was gone, but she wasn't in Station Square anymore. Sonic and the other's weren't there anymore.

Amy looked around. It looked like she was in some kind of room. A white and blue room.

The light was still bright, but it wasn't as bright as before. And it looked like she was alone.

"Shadow? Where are you?" Amy yelled, only to hear a echo of herself. "Where am I? Where's Shadow? And where are the others?" Suddenly, 7 bright lights of different colours circled around her.

"Chaos emeralds!" Amy gasped. "Did you brought me here?" It had to be. The last thing she saw were the chaos emeralds. "Where's Shadow?" She asked, but she didn't needed the answer anymore.

"Amy." A strong voice said behind her. Amy turned around, as the emeralds went to the voice.

"Shadow!" Amy said happily. But there was something different here. He wasn't his usual black, but he was gold! "Why are you super?" She asked confused.

Shadow smiled softly. "Amy..." He said as he walked over to her, the emeralds circling around him. He stroked her quills. Amy looked up at him.

He bent down and he whispered softly in her ear; "I remember..." Amy's eyes went wide, as tears were coming down.

Amy also smiled. "I'm so glad!" She said as she hugged him tightly. Shadow also embraced her, still stroking her quills.

Amy cried more. "I thought I'd lost you... I-I thought you were gone forever!"

"I'm... sorry I hurt you. I... I didn't knew what I was doing..."

"It's ok... Everything is ok... We can go home now..." Amy whispered.

"I'm sorry, Amy. I can't come with you..." Shadow said and Amy's head shot up. Confusion was seen in her eyes.

"W-why not?"

"I don't have the strength anymore..."

"No! You have to come with me! You also survived the Ark, why not this?" She gripped Shadow tighter.

Shadow looked at her with soft eyes. "I'm sorry Amy. But, as long as you're happy, I will also have peace..." Shadow began to disappear slowly. Amy gasped at this.

"Amy... there is one thing I think you should have... To remember me..." Shadow said as he cupped her face. He stared in Amy's emerald as she stared in his. They slowly closed their eyes.

Their heads were only inches away, they could feel each others breath. Amy moved forward, and they were finally connected.

Shadow was holding Amy closer to him as Amy played with his white patch on his chest. Shadow started to disappear more and more, you could see right trough him. Amy noticed this, because she almost couldn't feel his lips anymore. She deepened the kiss for only a few seconds, then, she didn't felt him anymore, she couldn't touch him anymore, she couldn't see him anymore. Shadow was gone...

Amy fell on her knees, and only a few sparkles where around her, glowing, but also disappearing.

Tears fell on the ground. The chaos emeralds surrounded Amy, still shining.

"Shadow, come back!"

(snif) Uhm, I.. got something in my eye. (snif) I let Shadow die! Or did I? Depends on your reviews, guys. Want Shadow back? Tell it in your review! See ya soon!
