Sorry for the wait! Been busy lately, but not to worry i will continue to update when i can. Anyways here is the next chapter.

(next morning)

Amy and the rest of the gang have woken up except for one person.

"Um Amy, where is Knuckles? He usually gets up early than the rest of us." Rouge had asked her."Unless he probably stayed up late and is sleeping in."

Amy replied," I don't really know Rouge. Lets go check his room and see if he is there."

After talking for at least one minute they headed upstairs to the top floor and got lost on their way to Knuckles' room and then they had found it.

"At least we found it, now on the count of three we open the door. 1, 2, 3!"Rouge yelled.

Once the door was opened they found Knuckles on the floor, dead. His throat had been cut and his arms and legs were tied so he couldn't move and a message on the wall saying:

"GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!"

"Oh my god! Amy get the police!" Rouge yelled as she had tears going down her face.

(10 minutes later)

So Miss, can you tell me what happened?" A police officer asked Rouge while Amy was trying to calm her down as much as she could.

"No I can't. We just woke up one morning and we found him on the floor like that. I swear we don't know what happened to him." Rouge replied trying to stay as calm as possible.

"Great now our best friend is gone." Sonic said to Tails as he watched Knuckles' body being loaded on the ambulance.

"Well thanks for your time Miss, we will send in a group of investigators to see if we can find any evidence."

"Alright." Rouge replied saying nothing else to anybody.

(a few hours later)

"So when is the funeral?" Amy asked Shadow.

"Well the king said it is going to be at 9:00 in the morning, but we need to leave at 8:00" Shadow replied.

"Oh, thanks."

(a few hours later in the garden with Sonic and Amy)

"Now what should we do? Our plans were to announce that me and you were engaged. Now that Knuckles is dead it is a bad time to announce our engagement."

"I know Amy. We might have to wait for a few weeks before we can announce it." Sonic told Amy.

"Ok" Amy said.

Oh No! Knuckles is dead and no one knows who it is! Let me know what did you think of this Chapter and feel free to tell me any ideas for the next chapter.
