Hello Readers!

Welcome to my first ever story! Yay! This is going to be a romance between Shadow and Amy. I also love SonAmy, but I like ShadAmy 1% more. This is going to take place in the Sonic Boom (all characters and some places are credited to SEGA). Please enjoy the first chapter! I should be uploading the second later today, as this first one is quite short. Anyway please comment or leave a review, and Happy reading!

When does it happen? When do the things you thought mattered, become insignificant?

A female hedgehog rose shakily to her feet, using her huge yellow and pink hammer as support. She coughed, bringing her white gloved hand to her mouth. When she pulled it away, she was fascinated to see red. She chuckled, the possibility of internal bleeding was strangely humorous.

When you chase something long enough, you start to leave behind pieces of yourself. You become a shell of what you used to be.

Wiping her mouth, she smiled, her teeth stained pink with her own blood. Spitting the rest of the metallic liquid out of her mouth, she raised her hammer. No one was going to beat her down. She had a purpose, and anyone who knew her would say; where Amy Rose lacked in common sense, she made up for in pure determination.

If you're always left behind, if no one ever looks for you, that's when you stop looking for yourself. And if no one's searching, then how can you be found?

Smashing her hammer into the snake's tail, the rose colored hedgehog screamed in pain and victory as she felt the thing wither in agony. But before she could react she was smacked in the stomach, and thrown into the wall of the ruins. She tried to move, but her right arm wouldn't listen. She looked over and saw a white jagged bone ripping through her skin, her peach furred arm slowly being stained with a gushing stream of hot blood. She laughed again, this was it. This is how she died… she was actually surprised she still had that much blood left in her body. Her enemy, Lyric, slithered over to her, and she closed her eyes.

Wasn't there anyone who would turn back? Wasn't there anyone who would stop and take her hand?

Amy sat in a warm puddle of her own blood, waiting for the final pain that would release her into blissful peace. Her life started playing before her eyes. Blue. That was all she saw, blue quills, emerald eyes, cocky smile, and brown scarf. Was that really all she had amounted to? A love sick girl who ran after her hero? No, she had started her own life, she had become an archeologist. She had started making a name for herself, apart from the blue blur. She never regretted her love for Sonic, she still loved him, but it was that chasing, the endless game of tag where she was always 'it.' She had lost sight of herself, she had become something disgusting. She had tried fixing it, but look where it had gotten her. I'm going to die without ever truly telling him how I felt. I am going to die without ever being who I was meant to be. Her jade eyes opened, her vision blurry from smoke and tears. They were met with cruel yellow eyes that shone with insanity and evil.

Don't stop, don't ever stop. Or you'll realize that there's nothing left. Nothing to turn back to. The pink hedgehog, cursed to always chase a blue hero, until there was nothing left.

Nothing left.
