Not A Love Spell (Pt.2) FINAL
ShadAmy | Sonic Forces AU
"So, what do we have to do?"
Amy looked directly at the Witch's eyes who looked at Shadow. He clearly didn't want to be there and he looked more than annoyed.
"That's the spell talking Shadow, you don't want to be in love with me"
"I don't care...before, I really didn't have a reason to keep on fighting but now...Amy, you are my reason"
"Shadow...Love is something that should not be forced into you... Now I am realizing that"
Amy thought about Sonic at that moment. She had realized that she didn't want to force Sonic into anything he didn't want to feel. She wanted Sonic to truly love her, not because of a stupid spell. It took for Shadow to be in this state for her to finally understand how wrong she was. Only by doubting him, Shadow agreed to come with her.
"Well there's only one thing you can do, this is a very powerful love spell, therefore you will need something powerful to destroy it as well." The Witch took a deep breath before clearing her voice and continued, "You need to go Emerald Forest and climb the tallest mountain...only there you will be able to see the Aurora Polaris"
"Aurora Polaris?", Amy questioned. "Yes, they are also known as Northen Lights...they are beautiful lights that show in the sky once in a while. Shadow should look at them directly and after they are gone, he should be back to normal", The Witch smiled reassuring Amy. Shadow still hasn't said a word.
"You should hurry up, tomorrow the lights will be its brightest and won't come back for the rest of the month"
"Thank you so much!"
And with that Shadow and Amy were out of the Witch's shop.
Amy looked at Shadow who was as quiet as the night but his face was still showed disappointment and madness.
"Alright, Shadow...what's your problem?", Amy questioned him, placing a hand on her hip.
"You are saying that you are doing this for me because you don't want to force any feelings on me. But now that I love you...you want me to stop loving you. Why aren't you taking my feelings into consideration", Shadow looked down to Amy.
"Shadow, you don't truly love me. Before we didn't even talk that much, you can't fall in love with me from one day to another. Once this is done, you will see that I am right. Shadow please trust me on this one...If you are really in love with me after your spell in destroyed then..."
"Then?", Shadow's eyes soften, and he took a step closer to Amy. He noticed that this was probably hard for her as well, and he was none to deny that fact.
"...we will see"

They had been walking for a couple of hours now into Emerald Forest. Shadow volunteer to carry Amy and use his rocket shoes to get to the mountain faster but Amy rejected the idea thinking that Shadow should take it slow for now. Amy didn't want Shadow to fall ill or anything due to overexerting himself.
As thanks to saving the village, Amy received food provisions and sleeping bags for their trip. Right now everything was set. They both had already eaten and the bonfire was lit. It was a bit awkward at first, Shadow and Amy were both in their sleeping bags, staring at the stars above them. A few seconds passed and Shadow began the conversation.
"do you think you could ever fall in love with someone like me?"
Wow. What a way to start a conversation, right? Even for Shadow, asking this type of questions were unusual of him. The more he will say things like this, the more he thought that Amy was actually right. That right now, the Love Spell was the one talking and not the real him.
"Shadow to be honest...I think I am being selfish even right now", Amy answered him still looking at the stars. If Shadow was being honest with his feelings, then Amy thought that the right thing to do was to do so as well.
"Why?"
"I promised you that I will get you back to normal but I am not only doing this because of you anymore...its also because of me"
Amy took a pause and turned herself to face Shadow who was already looking at her, waiting for an answer. And so, she continued.
"I had never seen this side of you...you can be a bit stubborn and hot-headed but...you are also very caring, strong-minded and even soft sometimes. I think that if I spend any more time with you, I could fall head over heels for you"
Amy noticed Shadow's eyes glow. His beautiful vermillion eyes shone as if he had heard the best news of his life. His ears perked a little and Amy could swear she saw Shadow's tail move side to side in excitement below his blanket. "But...", She continued and decided to look back to the stars. Not wanting to see Shadow's disappointed face for what she will say next.
"I don't want to fall in love with you...I want to keep on loving Sonic. I really, really love him and I just can't imagine loving someone else but him. If I were to fall in love with you...I would feel like I am betraying him and my feelings"
Shadow tried to hide his pain, he understood now that no matter what he did, Amy will never fall in love with him. However, he was glad that Amy was being honest with him. Anyways, the Love Spell will be over tomorrow night and the remaining of his pain will be gone.
"Thank you, Amy, for being honest with me"
Amy took a look at Shadow that although his expression looked more serious than before, it showed a more peaceful one too. They smiled to each other before drifting off to sleep.

"So we are here"
"Yeah, this is the tallest mountain on Emerald Forest"
Amy and Shadow looked around them. The mountain wasn't that tall compared to others around the world but it was definitely the tallest one around. The sun was about to go down, and for some reason, Shadow felt nervous. Amy noticed this and gently grabbed his hand, trying to show him some comfort. The sun went down and after some minutes, the Aurora Polaris made its appearance. Red, yellow, green, orange, blue...all colors danced and intertwined with each other. There were not just simple lights, it was as if they were souls, all of them creating a perfect balance. Mixing with each other to create something more than energy but life itself. It was totally captivating, mesmerizing. Aa Shadow watch the beautiful northern lights in awe, he felt as if they were giving him the answers to his doubts, to his questions.
Shadow took one look at Amy....and looked back to the lights.
Entranced, he took his time to appreciate each color, each frame and each structured formed by the lights.
He felt relieved, he felt free...and then it was gone.
Just like they came, they went away. The Aurora Polaris disappeared into the black sky, leaving the stars to shine by themselves.
Amy felt Shadow let go of her hand. It was time to question him.
"So...how do you feel?"
Shadow looked at Amy and kept staring at her delicate face. Even in the dark, the stars above them gave Amy an angelic look; the moon behind her made her look even more ethereal.
But Shadow wasn't nervous anymore. His hands weren't sweaty, his chest didn't feel heavy and it was easy to breathe again.
"I am ok"
"Meaning...you don't love me anymore?
"No, I don't. You were right, I was under the Love Spell this whole time"
"Oh, Chaos! I am so glad!"
Amy smiled at him, and Shadow began to walk away, slowly.
"Where are you going?", Amy was intrigued. "I am leaving now, we are done here and I have places to go", Shadow answered, denying himself to look at her.
"Oh, yeah you are right! I should get going to back to the Resistance Head Quarters as well." Amy scratched her head in embarrassment. This was the real Shadow. Always getting down to business, no time to lose. "Well, I guess...I'll see you around". Amy looked at Shadow's back waiting for him to turn around...but he never did. He just raised his hand up to show her that he had understood her message. Amy's smile became smaller, a relieved one as well. She walked down the path she and Shadow had come from. Hoping that she could see Shadow in the near future.
When Shadow couldn't hear Amy's footsteps any longer, he turned around. He really wished he could see her one more time, but he knew that this was the best for her. It was true, the Love Spell had been broken and had no longer an effect on him.
Although he was back to normal, he still couldn't understand why he felt a pain on his chest.
"I don't want to fall in love with you...I want to keep on loving Sonic. I really, really love him and I just can't imagine loving someone else but him. If I were to fall in love with you...I would feel like I am betraying him and my feelings"
Oh, yeah. He didn't want Amy to have any internal conflict with her feelings. He didn't want to be an obstacle for her and her true love. It pained him to imply that fact but he understood that love doesn't mean to possess. He accepted that this whole time he spent with Amy, she was captivating him more and more. Her actions, her personality...and although he felt very much free from that spell, he still felt different. Not a forced emotion, but a real one.
A real emotion like the one he always felt when he was near her before.
Looking at the shining stars above him, thinking of her, Shadow had finally come to a conclusion.
Shadow understood that it was Not A Love Spell who made him feel this way...
He was in love with Amy all along.
