Not What They Seem

Ep 21

(PoV: Sonic)

  I woke up in bed alone. I hated that, I looked at the top of my dresser, there was a red bok with a light red ribbon. Shadow had left me another present.

"I really need to get him something in return," I said getting up, ignoring the soreness in my backside, "oh~ Shadow."

  I opened the box to a beautiful amulet made from the red chaos emerald. The gold trim around it and fine gold chain let it hand over my lower chest, right above my waist. I read the note with his neat writing all over it.

  For my little Lapis with the brightest emerald eyes,

  I leave you a chaos emerald amulet to protect you in my short absences in the future. I may not say it, but you mean the world to me. I cannot tell you how eagerly I'm waiting for my permanent return to your side. Every night I've spent with you in my arms has been magical. I wouldn't change you for the world. You're my precious sapphire.

   - Shadow The Hedgehog

  I hugged the note and let myself fall onto the bed.

"Shadow The Hedgehog, I need to tell you just how much I love you," I sighed.

"You what?" I heard terrifying growls coming from my doorway. I looked, wanting to deny my theory. Unfortunately, my theory was right. Amy had let herself in again, and I was going to turn into a blue pancake for Shadow to find laying around somewhere, "Sonic, tell me I did not just hear you say those words to someone other than me."

"Okay, I-I-I didn't. In-in fact I... I didn't say anything. I just... um... I just yawned," I did a fact stretch and yawn, "See I-I'm just waking up."

"Don't lie to me hedgehog," I felt like she had a flaming, raging aura around her.

"You just asked me to lie, ahh!" I dodge a hammer she three at me destroying my wall, "Amy come on, please try and understand."

"You know what, I should be hammering down Shadow. He stole you from me, but he's nowhere to be found. So I'll just deal with you for falling for his tricks!" She tossed another hammer at me almost hitting my dresser.

  I need to get her out of here, I walked over to my balcony, "Amy please, have a heart, ahh!" I ducked and she shattered the door to my balcony. I grabbed my shoes and jumped down.

"Get back here hedgehog!" She shouted as I ran off.

  I hid behind a tree so I could slip on my shoes. I was buckling them when I started hearing trees crash down behind me. I quickly got up, only to face Amy behind me.

"A-Amy! What a-a pleasant surprise," I backed away cautiously, "w-why don't we take a stroll through the woods?" She smashed down the tree next to us in one, "no? Okay then see ya," I took off full speed to Tails's workshop.

"Sonic, what's going on?" Tails asked as I burst in, ignoring the gust of wind.

"Oh no, nononono," I panicked looking around, "Tails lock the door," I said running around in panic, only stopping to look out the windows, "she gonna kill me. She's gonna kill him."

"Hey Sonic," Knuckles came in with Blaze and Silver.

"You okay? You look like you've seen a ghost," Silver asked, he placed a hand on my shoulder which only made me jump.

"Amy find out?" Blaze asked.

"Yeah," I sank down with my head on the ground.

"About what?" Knuckles scratched his head.
