A/N: I'm back! Now I've figured out my plot properly so things will be clear now. But don't worry this story doesn't end yet. There's going to be a lovely, sad, depressing sequel. Yay! I assure you that the sequel is nothing like 'The Path of Destruction' so don't worry about that. This is NOT the last chapter.
Amy and Rouge were rushed to hospital.
Sonic, Knuckles and Tails were in the waiting room. Tails just sat there with fear whilst Sonic and Knuckles were pacing back and forth.
"Hey guys, maybe if you just sit down and wait you won't be as nervous as you are now" Said Tails.
Knuckles continued to pace back and forth. "Sorry kiddo, not until I find out about Rouge. Sitting down makes me nervous" He said.
Tails nodded and looked at Sonic. "What about you Sonic? Are you going to sit now or not?"
Sonic was silent and he still paced back and forth aswell.
Knuckles decided to sit next to Tails. "Just leave him. He's probably lost in his thoughts. We all know he cares for Amy a lot but he doesn't show it so I guess he's blaming himself for this" Whispered Knuckles in Tails ear.
Tails looked at Knuckles and whispered in his ear. "But the fact that Eggman came with his powerful robot which was generated with the chaos emeralds energy doesn't mean that it was his fault. Eggman just caught Amy and Rouge and obviously they couldn't run away"
Knuckles nodded. 'But he doesn't see it in our point of view. He believes that a hero should be there when the trouble starts at the very beginning. This hero business has really gotten into his head because everyone always counts on him to help others'
A doctor came to see Sonic, Knuckles and Tails. "You three are here for Miss Amy Rose and Miss Rouge, isn't it?"
Sonic, Knuckles and Tails nodded.
"Well, Rouge is fine. Just a few cuts and bruises and she has broken her right leg. But she'll recover" Said the doctor.
Knuckled jumped happily with glee and hugged the doctor.
Tails laughed and smiled.
Sonic folded his arms and coughed impatiently.
Knuckles looked at Sonic and stopped hugging the doctor.
"What about Amy" Was all that came out of Sonics mouth whilst he tapped his foot.
"Amy was badly injured. We tried to stable her but she fell into a coma" Said the doctor.
Tails gasped and Knuckles put his hand on Sonics shoulder.
Sonic didn't move. He still had this armed folded and his foot was still tapping but his eyed narrowed.
"Sorry. You can't see Amy till tomorrow morning so come back tomorrow" Said the doctor.
Tails headed towards the door. "Let's go" He said.
Knuckles had to drag Sonic because he refused to leave.
When, Sonic, Tails and Knuckles were outside, Sonic walked off on his own.
"Poor Sonic… he must really hate himself even though it's not his fault" Said Tails.
"Yeah, or maybe his true feelings for Amy are finally showing" Added Knuckles.
Meanwhile….
Shadow was at the back of the hospital. He climbed onto the building and looked through the window. He saw Amy lying on the hospital bed with tubes going through her and a oxygen mask on her face.
'She's in a coma'
Shadow went through the window and stood next to where Amy was.
Tears streamed out from Shadow's eyes. "Amy, its Shadow. If you can hear me, I'm so sorry. This is my fault. Why did you save me? Why spare my meaningless life? You probably hate me, so I'll leave now" He said.
Amy's hand moved slightly. When Shadow noticed that, he quickly jumped out the window.
Sonics POV:
This is my entire fault. If I wasn't arguing with Shadow this wouldn't have happened. My selfishness put her in this position. Why did she risk herself for Shadow? I guess he's been there for her in the tough time that I put her through. I didn't mean it. I just can't show her that I love her. It's too risky and Eggman would make some lame excuse to put her life in danger. Besides, people count on me to help them so how will I have time to love someone?
Amy shouldn't be in hospital. It's Shadow that should be there. Amy doesn't deserve this. She doesn't deserve any of this. I must find Shadow, and put him in his place.
