Chapter 6

Amy woke up, twisting around in her bed, trying to get to sleep. Realizing that she wouldn't go to sleep, even if she tried for an hour, she threw the covers away from her, sitting at the edge of her bed. Noticing that the room was quite dark, she looked up at the window with a small frown. The usual sunlight wasn't peeping in through the curtians, a dull gray light coming instead.

Please don't be... The pink hedgehog trailed off, an unhappy look on her face. She stood up, a yawn escaping through her lips, her feet making their way to the window. Amy pulled the curtains, rain greeting her. "Oh no, why did it have to rain?" She whined, her frown deepening. The petite hedgehog watched the rain splatter against the windowpanes, only one thought coming to her mind. "If it's raining, it means that I can't go and search for Shadow, which really is disappointing, considering that I'm slightly enjoying this mission." Amy sighed sadly, making her way to the bathroom.

xXx

Half an hour later, Amy came out, feeling refreshed. She had washed herself, brushed her teeth, etc. Drying her hair with a towel, she walked down the stairs, a knock on the door making her freeze for a second. I wonder who that is, nobody really visits me. The pink female thought to herself, slowly walking to the door. She stood in front of it, biting her lip softly. "Who is it?" Amy called out for safety reasons, she didn't want someone dangerous inside her house.

"Ames? It's me, Sonic." The voice on the other end replied, surprising and relaxing the anxious female. Instantly, Amy pulled the door open, surprise still showing on her face. A dripping wet Sonic looked up at her, smiling his trademark smile, while giving her a little wave. "Hey, Amy." He said, the rain falling down on him. He looked a bit shy all of a sudden, glancing at his feet. "Um, can I come in?"

Amy broke out of her thoughts, nodding her head quickly, a smile suddenly lighting up her whole face. It wasn't everyday that Sonic The Hedgehog visited her, today was the first time actually. They both walked to the living room, Amy taking a seat on the armchair, while Sonic sat on the sofa. "So Sonikku, can I ask you what the matter is? I mean, it's very unusual for you to be coming to my house all of a sudden, not that I mind of course." She flashed a smile in his direction, folding her arms on her lap.

"I thought you'd say that." He replied, giving her a small smile. "Well, I was kinda worried about ya." The blue hedgehog added, rubbing his neck slowly. "I haven't heard from you a lot, and I just wanted to check up on you, so that I know that you're safe." Sonic finished, giving her one more smile.

Amy frowned a little. That certianly was not the answer she was expecting. But she felt happy that he was concerned about her, and actually coming the her house. So far the plan was working out great, Sonic was finally giving her a little attention. It wouldn't be long before he confessed his feelings to her, proposed to her, married her... The female resisted the urge to let out a squeal.

Sonic looked at her, obviously feeling confused about her sudden change of behavier. His eyebrows furrowing, he eyed Amy with honest confusion. The pink hedgehog looked like she would throw a party any second.

Amy grinned brightly, unaware of Sonic's confused expression. She really felt like hugging him, but she had to resist it. "Thank you for being worried about me, Sonic! Also for visiting me, I really appreciate it." She blurted out, her whole face glowing. Sonic smiled slightly, noticing how happy he had made her.

"Well, I better be going now, see ya around Ames!" The blue male grinned at her, running to the door.

"Wait, Sonic!" Amy called out to him, stopping him in his tracks. "Can't you stay just a little bit longer?" She asked, her face looking hopeful.

Sonic looked at her. "I wish I could Ames, but I've gotta world to save! Bye, Amy!" He replied, rushing out of the door quickly.

"Excuses..." The pink female pouted, crossing her arms across her chest. "He says that everytime." She stood up, locking the door. Amy stood there for a few minutes, the thunder roaring in the background. Sighing, she turned to leave, only to hear loud and quick knocking on the door. Turning around, she quickly opened the door. "Sonic..." She said, but something fell against her, nearly knocking her to the floor. Amy looked at the something, or someone, a gasp leaving her mouth. She looked in horror at the unconscious, wet ebony hedgehog in her arms, blood oozing out of his arms and other parts of his body.

"Shadow..."


*Gasp* What has happened to Shadow? o_o This chapter was a bit shorter than the others, but at least it was better than nothing. :) Please review, I love hearing what you guys think of the fic. ^_^

Thanks to everyone who alerted/favourited me, and alerted/favourited this story. :)
