Oh wait, thank you all for reviewing! Please tell your friends to read this story or something, so there's more reviews to improve my writing. It means so much! I don't own any Sonic characters yadda yadda yadda.

Chapter 5:

Amy knew that Shadow would now be doing anything he could to get to her, and probably Sonic. She was stressing out about this whole thing and starting to regret that she ever told Sonic about Shadow. She wished that Shadow had never done this to her.

It was the middle of the night when Amy awoke once again from her troubling nightmares. That was the third time that night. She propped herself up on the wall behind her with her left arm so she was sitting up. She looked over at Sonic and Cream; they were both sleeping soundly in their chairs. Amy was so glad that they would stay with her until she healed. Earlier, Amy disagreed to this, but after some persuading from Sonic, she agreed. The pink hedgehog couldn't help but let out a small giggle. He was half flirting and half persuading, and the way he did it was funny to Amy. Sonic's ear twitched.

Amy's happiness slipped away as her thoughts trailed to Shadow. She slumped her shoulders and thought.

'I wonder why he hasn't tried anything yet. I told Sonic earlier today, but I haven't seen him at all since…'

Amy remembered the flashback. Chills went down her spine. She was trying to think about anything that didn't have to do with Shadow. Then Amy realized that she hadn't eaten since the corn dog at the mall a couple days ago. Her stomach growled.

'I've got to eat something.'

With much difficulty, Amy got out of bed. She had a hard time walking to the kitchen. She leaned on her good arm and kind of dragged her broken leg behind her. By the time she reached the kitchen, she was sweating from all the hard work. Amy turned the lights on and went to the cupboard to pull out a tiny bag of Cheetos. She leaned against the counter, opened the bag, and started to eat the Cheetos. When she was half way done, the lights went out.

Amy froze. Her heart started to pound.

"So. You decided to tell Sonic, and your best friend, too. I have not decided what I will do with them yet, but you and I both know what happens to you." Shadow said darkly. He looked exactly the same, but he was wearing a black belt with a knife's sheath on it, and of course, the knife inside.

Amy saw Shadow across the kitchen, crimson eyes glowing. His puffed chest was pretty clear, too. Amy tried to move, but was petrified. All she could say was a choked, "No…"

Shadow started to advance on her, Amy just watched, heart threatening to pound right through her chest. Right about when Shadow stopped in front of her, the lights flickered on. This distracted Shadow, and all of a sudden, he was thrown to Amy's left and out of the kitchen by a blue blur.

"Sonic!" Amy screamed in happiness.

Shadow hit the wall hard, and it made a loud thud. Shadow slid down the wall until he was sitting on the floor.

"So Sonic. You've decided to join us. I can't say I didn't expect it, but you did catch me off guard. Well done." Shadow said with his usual calm voice as he got up without difficulty.

The two male hedgehogs started to fight and Amy just cheered for her hero. Cream also came out when they started fighting and was about to pass out from shock. Shadow jumped toward Sonic, but Sonic quickly dodged and kicked Shadow hard in the stomach. Shadow pulled out his knife when Sonic dodged to cut a deep gash in Sonic's left arm, making him scream in pain. He shot his leg back and got Shadow in the stomach again. Both of them fought for another five minutes. They stopped and both faced each other, an awkward silence among all the animals in the room.

Amy's living room was trashed, due to Shadow's knife and just because they were fighting. Sonic was standing with his feet apart, hunched over, and his right arm was grasping his wound on the left arm. He was also panting very hard and covered in bruises. Shadow, on the other hand, looked like he was untouched. Maybe a little light bruising on the stomach, but otherwise, nothing was wrong. Not even panting. He just stood there, being casual in his own unique way. A few seconds later, Sonic couldn't stay conscious; his eyes rolled and he collapsed to his right side.

"Noooooo!" Amy screamed.

Shadow smirked at Amy. He walked over to Cream and she had a petrified look on her face. Shadow pinched her on the side of her neck and Cream collapsed also. He turned to Amy once again.

"Now we can go on without interruptions. But first…" He said as he turned to Sonic's limp body. "I'll get rid of him." Shadow emphasized 'him' in a way to say 'I hate you'.

Shadow was walking over to Sonic, but Amy limped past him as fast as her broken leg would let her go. Shadow stopped and watched her, a hint of puzzlement on his usual expressionless face. He wondered why she wasn't too scared to move anymore. Amy plopped down to her right hip facing Sonic so her broken leg would be comfortable.

"Oh Sonic…" Amy whispered while she brushed the back of her hand across his cheek. A tear fell to the ground.

Amy's expression changed from depressed to brave. Shadow watched her, finally understanding what she was doing. Anger boiled inside of him, but he was polite and waited for her to finish. Amy turned around to face Shadow, her back to Sonic.

"Do what you want with me, but, please, don't hurt Sonic anymore. I can't take it…" Amy couldn't hold her expression and she just started to cry. She hunched over so her quills were covering her face. Shadow could see tears falling on to the floor.

He walked to Amy and picked her up by her shirt. It was difficult for her to stand without her left leg.

"We're leaving." Shadow said.

"No! I have to stay here!" Amy yelled at him, her tears still falling.

"Now." Amy couldn't tell if he was mad or not.

Shadow picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.

"HEY! LET ME DOWN!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. The female hedgehog hoped someone had heard her so they would come and stop Shadow. Or maybe even to wake Sonic up.

Amy wouldn't refuse to stop thrashing and Shadow couldn't run with her like that or they'd both get knocked over. He had no choice but to just stay.

Amy lied on the ground next to the still unconscious hedgehog. Shadow just leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching her very intently. He was just thinking about what he did that night to Amy. After Amy fell unconscious, what did he do? Shadow jumped as he remembered. Amy turned over, wondering why he jumped. He walked over to Amy and could tell her eyes were filled with fear. He just walked half way so he can see something. He knew by now it would show, but it didn't so he knew she wasn't…

"What are you d-doing?" Amy asked.

"Just checking something." He replied with a little smirk.

"What are y-you talking about?"

"Do you know what I did that night, after you fell unconscious?" Shadow asked with a tone that made him sound like the smartest hedgehog in the world.

"No."

"Well, let us just say that you are lucky." He said with that same tone.

"W-why?" She still was scared.

"You won't be having a baby in nine months."

"…." Amy was too shocked to speak. Her eyes were wide open and her mouth was slightly open.

About an hour passed since Amy received the shocking news. She just went back to waiting for Sonic to wake up. But Shadow was thinking real hard. He didn't know if he should kill her like he said, or just let her be. He came to his decision and once again walked to Amy. He stopped right where she was laying, unsheathed his knife, and he…
