Fandom A Rose And A Thorn (Shadow x Amy)

[Breech Loader]

"I'm sorry you're in pain. We can't give you any sedatives when your blood pressure's so low, or painkillers without your medical records," the doctor continued, "And you cannot get up. Not until we're certain that we've removed all the glass, and stitched you up. And even then it's ill-advised; if you break your stitches you could die from internal bleeding." And by 'could', he meant 'would', "But we'll call in Amy as soon as you're able to see her."

Time passed, boring and painful during which he was told not to move or talk, and then they found another tiny shard of glass right next to his liver where if he HAD stood up he would have bled out in less than a minute and then they changed doctors... A lot of damage had been caused inside Shadow's body, including to several vital organs. Shadow had survived a fall from space but having a piece of bottle pushed into his gut was... well, not exactly the same thing.

But eventually...

Eventually Amy was by his side again, and she took his hand.

"Shadow..." she sniffled, and then started crying, "I was so scared you might die..."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow moved his hand over to cheek while she was still holding it. A small smile grew on to his face. "I told the doctors.....and I will tell you: I won't die on you...not in a lifetime." He responded, trying to keep her from crying but knowing that might not be possible, "I'm just a little goofball that started this whole mess."

 

[Breech Loader]

"It's not your fault... it's mine... if I hadn't been such a slut then Sonic would never have needed to get so angry," Amy nuzzled her cheek into Shadow's hand. She wished so badly that she could give him a huge hug but she couldnt; he could hurt him really badly with his injuries. Instead she gave him a slow kiss on the lips.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow's face started to grow a blush but he didn't mind it. It felt good to kiss Amy again as he still held her cheek. "When I get out of this room......I promise you....we need to do something that'll be relaxing for the both of us but.....you being here in the room with me...that's relaxing enough for me right now." He said quietly to her.

 

[Breech Loader]

"I... I love you, Shadow," Amy told him. She rested her hand over the bandage on his side, "I'm IN love with you. I want for you to get better, and... and I just..." she remembered about the previous night, "I just want not to hurt inside, or be the reason more people are hurt. I'm just scared... I'm scared that Sonic might still think..."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"No..... he doesn't. He realized it when he saw you care so much about me and I you. It was his own foolish fault." Shadow said then moved her hand over to his mouth and he kissed it gently, "Just....stay by my side....and I'll make sure your worries and anything negative you might feel..go away."

 

[Breech Loader]

"I want it to..." Amy rested her head on Shadow's chest gently, listening to his heartbeat, "I want to stop hurting... It still hurts, you know. I mean, physically too..." she shuddered, "He even made me bleed and... and when I walk... it almost burns... and I keep... keep feeling... like he's still in me... still ripping up my insides... Still laughing..."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Amy....when I get recovered from this, do you want me to carry you?" Shadow asked, "So you won't have to feel the pain all that much....I could help you."

 

[Breech Loader]

Amy just smiled, "It will heal... faster than the other pains, anyway. I'm worried about you. How quickly do you think you'll heal? Being spin-dashed into that bottle nearly killed you."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Heh...hehehe...I feel as foolish as Sonic used to think. These wounds will not hinder me. I'll heal rather quickly." Shadow said, grinning

 

[Breech Loader]

"Wow... you really are the Ultimate Lifeform," Amy laughed a little, "I like it when you smile," she nuzzled the white fur on his chest again, "I won't leave you if you won't leave me..."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"More than that....I do say my title as the Ultimate Lifeform has run dry. You are the Ultimate Lifeform, Amy." Shadow said, moving his hand behind her ear and onto the back of her head.

 

[Breech Loader]

Amy turned her head and stared at him, "Why would you even say that?" she asked him, "I'm just... me."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"And you are the best thing that happened to the world. You are the Ultimate Lifeform." Shadow repeated.

 

[Breech Loader]

"Aw, Shadow..." Amy nuzzled his cheek, "You say the most ridiculous things..." She kissed his lips softly.

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow chuckled softly and yawned softly. "I'm so tired now......I will rest with you here..." He said.

~~

Vex stretched and looked towards the Mystic Jungle and chuckled. "No sense in going back there, right Blaze?" He asked, turning to her.

 

[Breech Loader]

Amy sniffed slightly, "I'll be glad to keep you company..."

~~~

Blaze nodded, "There are certainly no Chaos Emeralds there," she agreed, "But it's a big planet. You're looking for something too... Something about a Wispon?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Shadow nodded and closed his eyes lightly. He held Amy's and smiled lightly.

~~

"Yeah a red Wispon. I think Knuckles would have it." Vex responded, "Well, I hope he has it....then I have to find Tails...." He sighed and stood up straight.

 

[Breech Loader]

"Isn't Knuckles usually on the Floating Island?" Blaze asked him, "And what's so important about this Wispon anyway?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Yeah, he is but last I saw him, he was in the city still. And, the Wispon is important because a friendly Wisp is in there. His name is Burst and he has the flames that help with the Wispon launch me into the air with small explosions." Vex said to Blaze, explaining it.

 

[Breech Loader]

"I'm fairly sure I can cause a few small explosions," Blaze joked mildly, flicking a flame up in her fingers, "But I believe there may be a Chaos Emerald somewhere in the city too. So it will be a good idea to scout the area..."

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

Vex nodded, grinning at Blaze. "This Wispon....this wisp. I know they'll be ready to aid me. It'll be bit better than the Phantom Ruby, just so you know." He said and rubbed his shoulder, "I will get rid of this when we find Tails as well."

 

[Breech Loader]

"More powerful than the Phantom Ruby?" Blaze asked him, clearly concerned, "I sensed so much power from that artifact... are you sure you can handle something stronger?"

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

"Well, it's better as travel." Vex told her, "It's not stronger than the Phantom Ruby.....I find nothing is not stronger than reality." He tapped his foot on the ground.

 

[Breech Loader]

"How very well-put," Blaze nodded, "Staying grounded in reality is the greatest power, when we find our spirits challenged. Listen, I... appreciate your company. I'm not attuned to the Chaos Emeralds. I'm not sure how I'd find them without at least a little assistance."
