Chapter 12:

Rouge was concerned about Amy. Sonic’s wedding was tomorrow. Amy had been a happy, smiling angel. That was until one of the maid’s brought up that tomorrow was the day. Amy’s smile had disappeared like a wisp. She instantly retreated into herself. She excused herself to her room and she had yet to come out.

The sun was high and normally Amy would be running about playing in the garden. But not today.

Rouge sighed as she softly knocked on the door to Amy’s room. “Amy?” she called, pausing as she pressed her ear to the door. She was listening for any sign of life. She felt a pain she had never felt before as she heard beads dropping to the floor. “I’m coming in,” she swallowed that feeling down as she turned the door knob.

Rouge gasped as she stepped into landmine of pearls. They were all over the floor. Several different colors. White, pink, purple, black, blues, reds, etc. Rouge was sure there was at least each color of the rainbow here. Amy was sitting in the window nook. Tikal was sitting behind her, lightly brushed her hair in some vain attempt to comfort her.

Rouge closed the door with a soft click. Though it did cause Amy to look up at the bat. She gave a mournful smile before turning back. Rouge hated that look. It felt wrong seeing it on Amy.

Rouge pulled up a chair and sat beside her. She didn’t know what to say to the pink hedgehog. She patted Amy’s arm before holding her hand tightly. “There is nothing I can say or do. Nothing at all to make your pain go away. I can think of nothing to comfort you either.”

Amy turned to look at Rouge, who didn’t have the courage to look up at her. Tikal had kept quiet. Only softly stroking Amy’s hair in a soothing tempo.

Amy placed her other hand over Rouge’s. She brought it to her lips and kissed it. Rouge looked up at her.

“I’ll be fine one day. It’s just that today is sad day.” Amy mouthed. She looked around the room at all the pearls she had cried. “Please, turn those into jewelry as well.”

Rouge nodded.

The wedding was in full swing. Princess Sally looked beautiful. Sonic was a nervous wreck for the first time in his life, but he was extremely happy. Rouge was decked out in extravagant pearls. Amy also wore some pearls too. She also wore the emerald necklace Knuckles had given her. Knuckles came as an escort for the two girls. His suit was dusty and not as well made as the other people in attendance, but Knuckles didn’t seem to care. Though he did stick close to either Amy or Tails.

Amy smiled at Tails. The fox looked adorable in the little blue suit Sonia had picked for him. Shadow hung around the back of the ceremony. He kept staring at everyone with sharp piercing eyes.

The bouquet was being thrown and Amy nudged Rouge in front of her. Rouge turned bright red as the bouquet of beautiful flowers landed in her arms. Amy smiled as she mouthed at Knuckles, “Looks like you’re destined to propose to her soon.”

Knuckles turned bright red as he turned his face away from the pink hedgehog, coughing into his hand.

Amy thought the party was beautiful, but she found herself feeling sad. She had loved Sonic not long ago. It wasn’t as strong as it had been when she first met him. She had been trying to put out the flame, for the sake of his happiness. But her heart still ached with each glance at the newlywed couple.

She walked along the nearby beach. There weren’t many people around and she was relieved for that. She made sure to keep her heels on. She remembered very well that the sand would turn to glass and cut her feet if she stepped on it. She walked carefully as she stared out into the ocean. She missed it. The reefs, the water, the other creatures, the ships. She missed so much, but there was no going back. She had legs now. She would never again get to swim in the ocean like she had.

Tears began to fall from her face. She felt as she had promised Rouge she wouldn’t cry today, but she couldn’t help it. A quick glance around and no one was around. Amy made sure to walk to a more secluded area just in case anyone came by. She caught the pearls as they fell from her face. She found a spot on a cliff for her to sit. She watched the waves crash again the bottom of the cliff. Her silent sobs causing her shoulders to shake.

The fur on the back of her neck stood on end. She jolted her head up as she looked at the source of the sensation. It was Prince Shadow. That damn staring problem of his was sending shivers down her spine.

Shadow knelt down in front of her and roughly grabbed her hand. Pearls flew out of the hand as he pulled it forward to look at the few pearls that remained. His red eyes moved up to her face and took full notice of the tear that dropped from her eye and became a pearl. It seemed to have dropped in slow motion and made a loud thud into her lap.

“You cry pearls,” he breathed in awe. Lines and dots connected in his head. “Rouge has been keeping you to make pearls for jewelry? I knew something was off, but for her to go this far for some stupid pearls.” Shadow found himself growling. “This isn’t right.” He held her hand tighter, causing Amy to wince in pain. “I’m not letting you be exploited by her anymore.” He tugged on Amy’s arm as he pulled her to her feet. He began to drag her away.

Amy shook her head. She tried to pull her hands away in a vain attempt to form sign language. Shadow couldn’t read lips. How could she make him understand if he was holding her hand in his vice grip? She tugged frantically to no avail until she decided to just plant her feet hard in the ground.

“Stop struggling!” Shadow yelled, “Can’t you see that Rouge is only using you!? Just let me help you!” He waved his hands in the air.

Amy fell back with the force from suddenly being free.

Ruby eyes went wide as the pink hedgehog stumbled back on her shaky feet. Unfortunately, a cliff side was the worse place for her to be as her foot touched nothing after a few steps back in vain attempts of gaining balance.

Shadow yelled as he rushed towards her. He had only wanted to help her. She had seemed like some small frightened person. Like a wounded bird he had once tried to save a child. He dashed forward with an outstretched hand, but he was too late.

Amy felt the air pushing against her as she fell. Her tears flew above her and filled her vision. She felt a numbness fill her body.

SPLASH!

The water foamed up as her body sunk. Shadow raced down to the rocky shore line. The likelihood of her surviving that fall was slim, but he could only hope that somehow she survived.

Amy heard muffled sounds as she sunk. A large arm wrapped around her waist and she felt it pulling her up. She opened her eyes to find that the salt hurt. Through blurry eyes, she easily made out her father.

The wind of the surface hurt her at first. It created a chilling shock down her spine. She shuttered as her father placed her on a smooth rock.

“Amy!” Shadow waded into the water towards her. “Amy!”

Amy looked up at Shadow and then turned back to her father. The man only glared at her. She rarely saw him. A part of her wish to never see him like this.

“You made a deal with the emerald.” He growled.

Amy nodded.

“You foolish child. Don’t you understand that heartbreak in this form will kill you?” He yelled.

Amy sighed as she placed her hands in her lap. She clenched her knees tightly. She had no voice to argue.

He placed a knife at her side. It was long dagger. Jewels were embedded onto the handle. “There is a chance to fix this mess. If you kill him and allow his blood to fall onto your feet, you can return home. To the sea. Where you belong.” He stared at her with such an intensity. Amy was tempted to do as she wished.

She picked up the dagger and examined it. It was sharp and shiny. It could easily kill with one stab. But kill Sonic? She couldn’t possibly do that. She loved him. And she would not kill her love.

“If you will not, then point him out to me and I’ll do it for you.” Her father ordered.

Amy tilted her head at that. “If that is the case, then there is only one option.” She mouthed with a sad smile.

She gripped the knife with two hands.

“NO!” Shadow and her father yelled in unison.

Amy gasped as she coughed up blood. Tears rolled down her cheek. The pearls bouncing off the rock and falling into the ocean with little ker-plops.

Her father reached out to grab her, his tails shining in the sunlight.

“A mermaid?” Shadow shrieked in disbelief as he jumped onto the rock and pulled Amy out of her father’s grasp.

“Return my daughter to me!” he ordered.

“What the hell is going on?” Shadow yelled. He looked down at Amy’s wheezing form. She was still breathing. There was a chance. A small chance, but a chance to save her. He hoisted her up in his arms. If he went to his top speed, he could get her to a doctor in time.

“Your exertion is not necessary,” A deep voice sounded as Shadow jumped to another rock. Chaos appeared before Shadow on the shore.

“Chaos?” Shadow looked confused.

The god plucked the girl out of his arms. “This mermaid has chosen death over life.” Chaos stated. “Taking her to a doctor is a moot point.” He sat with Amy in his lap in the shallow water. He placed his hand on her forehead. Her legs were incased in light and when it deemed, she had a long tail with bright shiny scales. “Do you have any final words Little Mermaid?”

Amy smiled at him. “I have no regrets,” she said in a raspy voice, “So be happy.” Her emerald eyes were glassy. She was so close to death’s door.

“Did you both get that?” Chaos looked at the two men. They both nodded. Her father did a back flip in the water. His tail creating a large splash. He was gone moments later.

Shadow stood there numbly staring at Amy, who seemed to be focusing on the sky with a smile on her face as her breathing slowed.

“Well, you can inform the others of her last words,” Chaos stated as he stood and began to walk into the ocean, carrying Amy’s limp body. “I’ll be taking her body to the shrine.”

Shadow stood there for several long minutes before he finally walked back. The party was ending. Rouge seemed frantic as she rushed around.

“Hey Shadow!” Sonic greeted his cousin, “Rouge can’t find Amy. Have you seen her?”

Shadow nodded as he walked up to the white bat. “She was mermaid. Where you aware?”

Rouge gasped. “That’s a secret,” she became offensive. “Do you know where she is?”

“She…” Shadow looked for the right word. Finding nothing, he was left with the bluntest one. “Died. Chaos came and took her body.” Shadow clenched his fist. “She said she had no regrets, so be happy.” He clenched his teeth. Saying it left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Tears filled Rouge’s eyes. She buried her head into Knuckles’ chest the moment he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

The white bat blubbered throughout her explanation of Amy was a mermaid who made a deal for legs to Sally and Sonic. Sally and Sonic were filled with sympathies for the young girl. Knuckles wound up escorting the hysterical Rouge home. Tails accompanied Shadow at Sonic’s ordered.

The ebony hedgehog felt like garbage. He remembered the small bird he found with a broken wing as a child. He did everything his 6-year-old self could think of to help the small creature. But it got sick and no matter what he tried, he couldn’t nurse it back to health. It had died. Shadow felt horrible then. And he felt even worse now. He plopped down into his bed and just buried his head into his pillow. Tails brought him some hot tea with honey before leaving Shadow in silence.

Tikal sat with Chaos at the shrine. The two were playing a board game. The body of the little mermaid floated peacefully in the water around the shrine. A smile was on her face. Tikal looked at her with a sad face.

“How long do you plan to keep her body here?” She asked the god.

“Until her body decays to nothing,” Chaos answered simply. “Do you have any 3s?”
