Yay! Finally managed to upload something! Sorry its so late but work had been piling up lately.
Hopefully the next one wont take so long.

The next morning couldn't have come faster than Sonic himself.

Gripping his head as the memories of last night once again returned, Sonic lazily pulled himself up and made his way out of the spare room, hoping that today he'd finally get some answers. Opening the door carefully he froze. He could hear the mumbling of voices. One was defiantly Shadow's, but he had no idea who's the other was. Slamming the door shut quickly Sonic began to panic; the beating of his heart was now the only thing he could here.

What is Shadow had told someone? No. The only person Shadow really talked to was Rouge... Which was worse actually worse than the dilemma it's self.

Sliding down the door Sonic tried to concentrate on the sound of the voices but to his surprise they had stopped. Somehow getting answers from Shadow now seemed very pointless to him; maybe he should continue running, start all over or even pin the situation on someone else...

Sonic was viciously brought back to reality however when the force of the door flung him forward, almost causing him to hit his head. He'd been so encased in his own thoughts that he hadn't heard Shadow trying to get in.

"What you do that for!" Sonic's words came out much harsher than anticipated. All Shadow could do however was stare at him, slightly bemused by how Sonic was reacting.

"W...who were you talking to?"

"No one important" Sighing to himself Shadow sat down on the bed. "You can't stay here..."

"What? ... Why!" Was Shadow seriously kicking him out?

"Rouge won't be happy with you being here by yourself, she barley trusts me here" Smirking at the thought that if Rouge could she'd tie everything down.

"I'll go before she comes back..."

"No." Shadow relaxed more, feeling that the blue hedgehog was stressed as it was "They've linked the murder to me. I have to go. Take care of a few things". Sonic' stomach turned knowing that when Shadow said 'take care' he actually meant harm a 'few' people in order to clear his name.

"You lied"

"No. They never asked. Anyway they'd believe you over me."

"I... I could turn myself in?" Shadow almost looked disgusted in what Sonic was saying. He didn't like help and completely disapproved of Sonic's attempts to befriend him.

"That won't be necessary."

"Shadow..." Sonic closed his eyes. Somehow not being able to see his dark rival made it easier to speak "I can't let you take the blame for what I did" Shadow rolled his eyes, was this all really necessary? He'd already said he'd take care or the matter and now that he was Sonic was causing more problems.

Shadow stood up and left the room pretending not to hear him, hoping Sonic would get the message that actually he didn't care. "You need to leave".

"Ok..." Sonic took one last glimpse of Shadow before leaving. He wasn't in the mood for arguing and by the look of it either was Shadow.

"SONIIC!" Sonic shuddered; he knew that voice too well... He began to walk faster pretending he hadn't heard. "SONIIC WAIT UP!"

"Oh hi Amy..." Forcing a smile Sonic decided it was best if he didn't ignore her, after all she'd leave him alone soon. Hopefully.

"Sonic where were you yesterday! I was waiting for you for hours!"

"..."

"Our date... Remember?"

"Uh yeah sure" Sonics ignored Amy's complaints as he watched Shadow heading in the opposite direction. 'Where could he be going?'

"Are you even listening to me!" Amy snapped her fingers in front of his face, bringing him back to reality.

"Um yeah. Look I gotta go..."

"HEY! SONIC WHERE ARE YOU GOING!" Sonic began to walk faster not wanting Amy to catch up to him or Shadow to see him.

He couldn't take it anymore, being scared to leave his house because of his obsessive stalker, he knew she meant no harm but this obsession was getting way out of hand. God how he'd love Amy and that kid to swap places right now... Wait did he seriously just say that? Sonic began to panic. He needed help and fast, the feeling that had got him into this mess in the first place was once again returning.

He had to keep himself under control. It wasn't fare for Shadow to keep covering for him, sorting out his problems and not his own. And why was he so worried about Shadow all of a sudden... they were nothing but rivals, and if the situation was the other way round he knew Shadow would have shut him out. The final fuse blew in Sonic's head however when Amy grabbed him from be hide, shrieking his name.

That was it. Almost without thinking Sonic pushed Amy off of him and pinned her to the wall, gritting his teeth, breathing heavier.

"Sonic what are you..."

"SHUT UP!" Sonic cut her off however not wanting to hear her voice. He was completely oblivious to the character watching him and to the tears beginning to form in Amy's eyes.

"Let her go Sonic..." Shadow sighed. It seemed he was going to be stuck with Sonic longer than he wanted to be.

Almost snapping out of a trance Sonic leapt back allowing Amy's body to fall to the floor, he looked at her confused as to why she was gasping for air... he hadn't noticed his hands had been on her neck stopped her from breathing. He and Shadow could do nothing but watch as she desperately crawled away, probably to cry or blab to Cream about what had happened.

Then something happened that shocked him and Shadow completely. A smile appeared on his face. He didn't understand why, but there was no way of topping it.

"What's wrong with you?" Shadow whispered, he knew he was no better than him at this moment but he had expected more from Sonic.

"Nothing" Sonic shrugged, his grin getting wider.

"Want to explain what you just did then?" He had to admit Sonic's change in behaviour freaked him out a little.

"Like I said nothing."

"This isn't you..." Shaking his head Shadow could no longer look at Sonic in the same way.

"We'll maybe I'm just tired of being a hero. You see Shadow me and you are more alike than you think."

Shadow smirked. He didn't care what Sonic was becoming, all he cared about was how to use this to his advantage.

Completely stuck here. Don't know whether to have some Sonadow in here or to have something different, anyways let me know what you think pwease! :3
I know it's another short chapter but I decided against killing Amy off and going into detail so soon. x
