Hi people! I'm gonna try to hurry on this chapter, okay? Thanks to the people that did review and I made my decision, this story will be a SonAmyShad! Sorry, I just couldn't decide! It will be slight Shad, I think. This idea struck me not too long ago, and I think of it as a little twist that might start next chapter. It might be this chapter, though. Oh, and I won't really be paying attention to Cream that much. Check out my profile, there are some cool clips of Shadow's new game (which I got an idea for another story that maybe I'll start soon). I highly recommend the one in the top right corner, that one was my favorite by far, but check all of them out. Well, I hope this chapter is better than the last one! I don't own . . . sigh. . . any Sonic characters. They belong to SEGA!

Chapter 6:

The blade was starting to come down and Amy cringed in fear as it did. She was awaiting any burst of pain, but it never came. Amy heard a thud and opened her eyes slowly. What she saw surprised her. Shadow was directly in front of her on his knees. He was breathing hard and his knife was still in his hand, but barely. His head was lowered and Amy saw that his eyes were shut tight.

"I…can't…do it…" He said with clenched teeth while tears streamed down his face.

Amy gasped just a little bit as she saw tears. Shadow dropped the knife on the carpet and fell to his hands. He was sniffing as he let out quiet sobs. Amy was just watching him in shock, too scared to move once again. He lifted his head with his tear-filled, soft eyes that were usually a sharp crimson. He looked right at Amy.

"Amy…I…love you…" With that, he broke out into slightly louder sobs.

She just lay there, unable to move from shock and her useless limbs. Amy had an occasional twitch from not moving.

'He loves me…?' Amy thought.

Sonic moaned and Amy and Shadow both jumped. Amy quickly turned her head to look at Sonic. He stirred and got up to his feet as fast as he could at the sight of Shadow.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" Sonic yelled, but regretted it as a sharp pain rushed through his head. He clutched his head with both hands and swayed from dizziness.

Shadow, regaining himself, got up and walked right past Sonic. He had his dark glare once again and glared at Sonic as he passed. Shadow stopped in front of the door, opened it and paused. He looked back at Sonic and Amy; Sonic by now was standing still and watching Shadow closely as if he might attack. Shadow then looked down to the ground, eyes filled with depression. He was gone in a flash from his amazing ability to run the speed of sound.

"Good riddance!" Sonic yelled after Shadow, being careful not to be too loud in fear of his head. He turned to Amy and knelt down beside her.

"Amy, are you okay?"

Her eyes were still wide open from shock. Sonic looked up as Cream finally got to her feet.

"Um, Cream?"

"Yeah?" She said with hoarse voice.

"Why don't you just go home, okay?"

Cream looked at him suspiciously and nodded her head while she rubbed the red spot from Shadow pinching her so hard. She walked to the already opened door and left, still eyeing Sonic until the last moment. He returned his focus to Amy, who was still not moving, but her eyes seemed to have less widened.

"C'mon Amy. Please talk to me. Let me know if he's done anything to you." Sonic said. His voice was soft and caring.

Amy watched him for a little bit and then her gaze shifted down to the floor. She started to prop herself up into a sitting position, but her left arm gave out. She almost fell to the floor, but thanks to Sonic's quick reflexes, he caught her. He helped her get up into sitting and left his arm there to support Amy's weak body.

"W-well, Sh-Shadow did tell me s-something…" Amy half whispered.

"What did he tell you?" Sonic said in a hushed voice.

"H-he told me I w-was lucky…" Her voice just trailed off.

"Amy, why were you lucky?" To him, it seemed impossible to talk louder than Amy. He could also tell

"Th-that I wasn't p-p-" Amy couldn't finish her sentence because she burst into tears.

"Amy. Amy!" He raised his voice so she could hear him. "Just tell me! What did he tell you?" He was becoming impatient with Amy because he wouldn't tell him that much without hesitating or stuttering

"THAT I WASN'T PREGNANT!" Amy screamed.

Sonic went completely wide-eyed and just froze. Everything was silent except the quieter sobs from Amy. It was a good 30 seconds before this information got stored into Sonic's head.

"A-Amy… I had no idea that he would do that. I'm sorry I put pressure on you, I-I just didn't kn-"

"Well now you do, so just leave me alone!" She yelled at him. Amy lifted up off his supporting arm, and lay down facing away from him on her left side.

"Oh, c'mon Ames, I said I was sorry…" Sonic said as if he was just a little boy. He nudged Amy's broken arm slightly so he wouldn't hurt her. She lifted her head so she could look at Sonic, and she saw him using puppy eyes and his lower lip was curved over and quivering. Amy just had to giggle, a 25-year-old man and he was using that face.

"Oh my god, Sonic." Amy said, holding in a giggle. She was already feeling better after she told Sonic about her being near pregnancy; she was glad to get that off her chest.

"So, do you forgive me?" Sonic asked still using his childish voice.

"Yeah, I guess so." Amy said a little shyly.

"Good." Sonic said, dropping the act of the child. His face was nearing Amy's, and Amy was also being drawn closer to him. Something inside Amy was telling her to pull back, but something else was telling her this is what she wanted more than anything in the world. Right before their lips met, Amy turned her head away. Sonic kissed her cheek on accident. The two hedgehogs started to blush furiously.

"Sorry," they both said in unison. Amy started talking first.

"Sonic, I have to tell you something else…" She said a little rushed.

"What is it?" Sonic was really embarrassed for missing her lips, even though it wasn't his fault. They were both looking at the floor, to nervous to look into each other's eyes.

"Umm, well…" She hoped that Sonic would still love her if she told him. She took a deep breath and said, "Shadow said that he…loves me."

Sonic just looked up, finally brave enough to look into her eyes. He didn't know what to say.

"That's really the reason I'm still alive right now…" She knew Sonic was looking at her, which made it even more uncomfortable. She wasn't even close to being brave enough to look at Sonic at all. She couldn't tell if he was mad at her or Shadow, or if he was thankful that she was still sitting right in front of him, or any other reason that was possible.

Sonic put one finger under Amy's chin and lifted her head up. He stared into Amy's sparkling green eyes and she just stared right back into his emerald eyes. They both were no longer blushing.

"I'm glad that you're still alive, but we have to do something about Shadow." He told her. For some odd reason, she felt bad for Shadow and that they shouldn't do anything to him.

He pulled her face toward his and he kissed her. He was kissing with a passion, but she didn't kiss back as much. She didn't kiss back because of shock, but there was something else.

'Why do I feel bad for Shadow? Why aren't I kissing Sonic back? Could it be, that I'm falling for Shadow?'

Outside the window, Shadow could be seen crying. He rushed away as fast as he could, wiping tears from his eyes as he ran. Those tears weren't from the wind rushing into his face.
