Shadow walked hastily through the dark ally. I'm not supposed to be here. I'm not supposed to have done this! His mind was racing a million miles a minute as he thrust the hood of his dark gray cloak over his soft tender quills. "Why me?" He mumbled. Flicking his ear and jumping at trash cans falling. He was relieved to see it was just a stray cat. One with purple fur...Oh shit! Blaze was streaking towards him. His eyes widened in fear as he whipped around to see Amy stomping towards him. Her dress was tattered and drenched. Shit... I'm fucked. Shadow thought as he looked up to the sky and saw Rouge diving towards him. He ripped off the cloak. There was no more need for a disguise. Suddenly something rammed hard into his side and sent Shadow flying across the open clearing into a wall. He smacked against it and slid to the ground. As Shadow looked up he saw a blue hedgehog, fists and teeth clenched, marching towards him.
~~~~~~~~ A week earlier ~~~~~~
Shadow yawned and put his hands behind his head. His eyes were closed but he heard footsteps coming towards him.
"Shadow?" A soft voice called. Shadow regretfully opened his eyes and saw Amy Rose standing in front of him. "Have you seen Sonic?" Her hands were clutched around a small pink handbag. Shadow shook his head. Amy grunted and stomped next to him and plopped carelessly on the bench Shadow was on. "That's it! This is the fifth time Sonic has ditched me!" She threw the bag down and began to pout. Shadow sat up straight and didn't look at her directly.
"If he always ditches you, then why do you still try with him?" Shadow asked. Amy gazed off into the distance.
"Because I love him. And I hope one day he will actually wake up and realize it." Her voice was full of sadness and depression. Shadow still didn't understand much about love. He bit his lip and wondered. "You know what love is right?" Amy asked. Shadow looked at the ground.
"Not really... No" Shadow heard Amy adjust in her seat.
Shadow looked over to see Amy staring at him. "Well... Would you like me to explain?" Shadow shook his head. He didn't feel like listening to her babble on about it. He already had a good enough knowing of it and Amy would make it more difficult for him to focus on what he needed to. Amy looked past him and her jaw dropped. Shadow followed her gaze to see Sonic walking hand in hand with Blaze.
"Hmph." Was all Shadow could muster up to say. Amy's eyes began to fill with tears and Shadow sat back on the bench and watched in amusement as Sonic froze. Amy got up, gave a glare to Sonic, mostly one of hurt, and stomped away in the opposite direction. Shadow chuckled darkly.
"You did it this time, Faker." Shadow sneered. Sonic glared at him then at Blaze then finally towards where Amy had stomped off.
"Shit..." He muttered. He folded his ears back and let Blazes hand go. Blaze sighed.
"Go clam her and tell her what is really going on." She instructed him and he reluctantly zoomed off. Shadow watched him go and Blaze came and sat down next to him. Shadow leaned back and closed his eyes.
"So. What did Faker do this -" He was cut off by Blaze.
"Will you stop calling him that! His name is Sonic." She gave a glare though he had his eyes closed.
Shadow let a slow growl rise in his throat.
"What? You gonna growl me to death?" She taunted him. Wrong move. Shadow snapped open his eyes, spun around and pinned Blaze down. He narrowed his eyes and glared at her.
"No. That wouldn't kill you quick enough." He said coldly. Blaze was wide eyed and shivered in his grasp. Then she suddenly lit her paws on fire. Shadow squeezed her neck and Blaze stopped her fire and grasped his hands. She started choking and before Shadow could say anything he wanted to he herd fast footsteps coming towards him. Sonic. Shadow let her go and with a glance ran off.
