Chapter Two

Note: Here's chapter Two! You might want to bring some tissues with you. This chapter made me cry when I thought about it so. I own none of the characters except for Emilie and her two sons Sammie and Milow.

It was about midnight when decided to set his plan into motion. Shadow and Emilie lay sleeping peacefully on their bed, Emilie as usual was using Shadow's chest as a pillow. Suddenly a mechanical arm shot through the wall of the guest room grabbing all of it's unsuspecting occupants even the children. Emilie let off one loud scream that surely woke the whole house up before she lost her consciousness by an unknown attack. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were immediately woken by the girl's scream and ran over to the source being too late to do anything to help them at that moment, they just had to follow Eggman's robotic ship.

Back on the ship about 20 minutes after they had been kidnapped Emilie woke up finding herself tied to a pole. She blinked her eyes open and looked about blearily. She spotted several feet in front of her three most loved beings tied to some sort of machine. Emilie inspected the machine with her eyes and much to her horror she spotted three rather big blades not too far above the trio, it seemed that the blades were attached to yet three more mechanical arms. Her eyes met that of her concerned lover.

"I see you're awake." A voice emanating from a cockpit on top of what she figured out was a torturing machine. Emilie clenched her fists in her restraints she knew that voice.

"What do you want form us?" She yelled angered that someone would try to harm her family.

"It is simple girl…you must chose one of these three to save and the other two die." said laughing evilly.

"Wha…Why?!" She demanded looking fearfully towards her little family, several unnoticed tears slipped down her cheek. What kind of monster would make her choose between these three?

"That is none of your beeswax. You have one minute to chose." responded. Emilie felt that her heart was being torn into a million pieces. She bit her lip delicately how could she choose between the beings she loved the most. She thought carefully looking at each of the beings tied to the torturing machine not but several yards away. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something a good piece of the ship's wall behind her burst open. Sonic and Knuckles where quickly at her side.

"Take another step closer and they all die hedgehog." Dr. Eggman said angrily. As a cause of her friends bursting in to foil his plan the blades above the three beings dropped a few inches causing Emilie to scream in horror. Knuckles quickly untied Emilie and she dropped to the ground getting up she walked over to where her loved beings where being held. said nothing about it. Emilie dropped to her knees in front of them. Shadow watched her trying to get loose. Emilie covered her eyes with her hands, Knuckles was at her side in a flash placing his arms around her. The girl sobbed into her best friend's chest.

"Your time is up Emilie. You must choose." said. This made her cry harder but she lifted her head from the fur of her best friend's chest whispering something into the echidna's ear, who nodded slightly.

"S—Shadow." She said between sobs. immediately released the black and red hedgehog but not before dealing several deep cuts on the unsuspecting hedgehog. Emilie gasped in horror as she watched this.

"Traitor!" Knuckles shouted to Eggman as he watched the injured hedgehog being brutally dropped onto the ground. Knuckles set to attack the cockpit while Emilie went over to her youngest. It was already too late for Sammie. But she refused to look at the bloody mess. She yanked Milow out of his bonds dropping to the ground crying. The blade above where Milow was moved forward and down to kill the two. She paid no attention to this. She soon felt a familiar embrace raising her head and opening her eyes to see Shadow. He kissed her lips gently before her pulled back. She laid her head on the hedgehog's injured shoulder and pressed closer to him minding his wounds.

"I love you." She said to Shadow as she waited for the blade to strike.
