A/N: Sorry I would have updated long ago but I've been busy but I've been making notes for this chapter so that I wouldn't forget XD! Anyway here's chapter four, I hope you like it.

Shadow's POV:

It's really dark now. The rain has calmed down slightly and Amy's asleep. I don't see why she saved me after what I've done. She should have left me dying. I don't mind death. Death is meaningless to me; I don't see why people fear it. If it's your time, it's your time. There's nothing you can do except to accept it.

I wonder why Amy's upset with that Sonic. He must have broken her heart again. Sonic must open his eyes and think. The more he pushes Amy away her heart keeps on breaking into tiny pieces but she still tries again. Maybe I should talk to him. Then again he'll probably say 'What do you know about love?' and he thinks I'm dead aswell.

I still don't see why I deserve to live. There's nothing to live for. Life is just a pointless black hole. You don't even get to life for eternity. Life is for rent. It doesn't even last long. You could die at any moment.

Well I can't keep thinking till morning. I got to get some sleep, but those images in my head…..

End of Shadow's POV

Sonic & co decide to say at Tails for the night. They are still shocked that there are possibilities that Amy could be dead. But Sonic is the main person that refuses to believe that.

"Tomorrow morning I'm going to find Amy" Said Sonic.

"And I'm coming aswell" Said Tails.

"And me. We could look for her as a team and the rest of you could stay here just in case she comes back" Said Knuckles.

Everyone agreed.

"Well you three should get some sleep. In fact we should all get some rest. Let's just hope that Amy is alive and well" Said Rouge.

Cream smiled happily as she was filled with hope.

Everyone went to the spares rooms which Tails had directed them to. Soon everyone was asleep.

Everyone except Sonic.

'Amy… I'm so sorry i-I didn't mean it-I don't know what I was thinking-but please let me know if your alive or not'

Morning Shadow's POV:

-Flashback-

"MARIA"

"Shadow… Promise me… give the world a chance… to be happy… let them live… -"

(A/N: It might not be the exact words of what Maria said but I couldn't remember XD)

-End of flashback-

I woke up whilst gasping for breath. After a while I calmed down. Those images in my head, they're so gruesome. It's like another face in my head.

I look around and Amy was nowhere. Where did she go? I get up and look outside and I see Amy swinging her hammer here and there.

I walk up to her. She nearly hit me with her hammer by mistake but I managed to swiftly grabbed it and twist it away from her hand.

"You need more technique and speed if you want that to hit someone like that"

"Oh, I see. I've been trying to get stronger"

"I could help you with that if you like"

"Really… Would you?"

"Hmm mm"

After an hour Amy's progress was rapid. I was amazed to see how much she learnt so quickly. But obviously she's not as good as me.

Her fighting skills are now sharp and quick. I think she's ready to take on anyone.

I've grown to like Amy a bit more now. Her maturity is much better unlike the last time. Maybe she's not so bad than i thought. Who knows.. Maybe she won't run back to Sonic and allow him to insult her as usual. If he doesn't show his true colours i'm going to step in.
