An Assassin of my Heart 2: One Wish

Just for you


That night, Sonic told Amy everything that happened in the living room. Amy learned more of the tale from New’s broadcast in the region, asking everyone to keep a sharp look out for the murderer. The following day, Sonic had the area repaired and some of the room had even been redone. Sonic began to mope, and Amy grew more tired of his lack of excitement since the incident.

Ace . . . Sonic contemplated the happening, longing for his hedgehog, or perhaps, longing to be his hedgehog. Either way, he missed the old life he had. He envied the life of his cousin who fell for his best friend when the three of them became band mates. Perhaps Tails had loved Sonic before Knuckles, but the blue blur would have ignored him, longing only for the black shadow of his memory.

Amy on the other hand, had begun to pack her belongings. She was done with the “over-rated” pop idol, and wished for something different, maybe more dangerous. She hummed hymns, to which she was a hypocrite.

Sonic grew weary of his attempts to string together simple rhymes, when all his passion was lost to his desire for him. He who had once kept him up at night, the one who teased him by day, haunted him by night, the one who had torments far worse than those he never meant for the singer. He drew together what remained of his shattering heart, and scurried down the hall, heading for the bedroom.

Had he, or she, payed attention, then they would have never bumped heads. There would have never been an awkward silence. And they both would not have confessed to each other the same words, “I am sorry, but I prefer the color black.” Maybe, on some sub-conscious level, they heard what the other said. In any case, they both ignored the comment of the other.

The following night, Sonic was due for a concert, for which he attempted to prepare for the previous night. He trembled as he rose to the occasion upon the wooden stage. He had given Tails and Knuckles music to play, but he had yet to script lyrics. The audience waited for the premier. Knuckles began a light intro on the drums. The song beat seemed slow, and foreign. Tails tuned in, playing the guitar with ease, becoming in sync to his partner.

Time pushed quickly to the fifteen second mark where Sonic planned to begin his song. thirteen he counted along fourteen . . . SING!!!

His mouth opened and he sang in his beautiful voice the first word, the first name rather that came to mind, “Shadow!”
The audience started to cheer while Sonic paused for five second before continuing his sentence song with words he generated from the abyss of his mind.

“Shadow, I need to you to set me free
I want your warmth to comfort me,
All around the world, no one will ever know
How you have left, why would you would go,

But life is in the hands of chance
I would take all the pain, just to dance
With you, my life could be simple bliss
Dreaming of the scene of our first kiss . . .
You’d say, no one must ever know
And that is where’d it’d end, and then off you’d go . . .

But me, I can never let you leave
Not away from my heart,
Buried ‘neath the tree
Your love, is a strange one for me
Wider than an ocean, but darker than the sea
And you, how long must you taunt?
How long will you haunt . . . me?

I am here, on this lonely stage, I sing
And my heart, it pounds, and my voice rings . . .

And although . . .
I may never know,
I wanna see how it would end . . .
The way it all would go . . .

And to see
What would become of you,
And of . . . me . . .”–

The room spun about him as the song finished and the crowd began to cheer. The fans all raged on, demanding an encore. He still felt a little out of it, but it just seemed to make things better, easier. Sonic then sang one of his old hits, as it did not cause him as much stress as being put on the spot.

The concert had a huge turn out despite the fact that it was only one new song where as the rest were old. Tails and Knuckles kept talking about it off-stage, and inquired the singer about the new song. Tails was wearing black jeans, and a fairly over-sized shirt, which were colored a bright, but not bold, blue. He also had two ear ring piercing in his left ear.

Knuckles wore an extremely tight shirt which showed every muscle on his well toned body. Even though it made Tails insanely jealous at times, the two tailed fox began to live with the fact that the echidna was also attracted to women, and would often mate with them. Tails too, began to enjoy courting women along with the two of them being dedicated partners to each other. This also opened the doorway to more interesting activities.

Sonic, on the other hand, had a far different view than his cousin or best friend. He wanted Shadow all to himself. The darker was, at least in his mind, going to belong to the blue hedgehog, and only him. He would stop courting women after concerts now that he knew Shadow was alive, even if he is wanted for malicious crimes against the empire.

Tails continued to pester, teasing the blue with comments to his partner such as “I think Sonic has a special someone in mind.” However, he refused to tell them, but promised to do so soon.

Tails watched Sonic as he left backstage. Sonic turned unexpectedly and called back, “I think you better stop watching me while Knuckle-head there has a sexy anthro-mouse in leather putting the moves on him.” As I resumed walking, I chuckled due to the sound of Tails’ hand on the back of Knuckles’ head.
