A Rough Yet New Beginning Ch.1
This is Shadow; Shadow the Hedgehog and this is my tale to be told. Well actually it is our tale, mine and my dear sweet Rose. The story of how we met, how we fell in love, and how she changed my life forever. "Hmmmm", when you think of it; it is quite funny someone such as myself falling in love with someone like her. I always used to call her a foolish child. In the end I was the fool. In the beginning I was blind; too blind to see what stood there in front of me all those years escaping me. I believed that love was a weakness that only brought you down causing you heart ache and pain. I believed that only fools feel in love putting themselves through hardship. I couldn't understand her; just trying to figure her out gave me a migraine, annoyed me to the point that I just wanted to ram my head into a wall. I always heard that women are meant to be hard to read, to be mysterious, but geez she is beyond that. She was the mystery of all mysteries.
Ten years ago on a rainy night I was still out in space crashing through the atmosphere coming down to this planet known as Earth. What a weird name for a planet that was. My body crashing through the atmosphere and that is what I remember. Before hand my mind is almost pitch black, no memory of before. It was so cold even though my body was a flame, feeling nothing other than the aching of my body I come to the end of my journey through time and space.
As Shadow falls down to earth Amy Rose is at her place sleeping when the thunder and lightening scare her from her sleep practically making her jump out of her bed. She gets up to close the windows that were blown open from the wind when she sees a stream of light falling fast through the sky that seemed to be headed for the park. As she witnesses this Shadow she believes that it is a falling star so she begins to make a wish on it then suddenly it crashes into the park causing a blast that blends in with the sound of the thunder. Amy can't believe that flash of light when she realizes it was not a falling star. She then begins to think that it was a meteor that hit though that has never happened here before why now? What could all this mean?
Curiosity getting the best of her Amy bolts for her boots, coat, and her camera. Almost slamming into the door she throws it open running for the park in her pink lingerie night gown. She begins thinking as her feet hit hard and her breathing gets faster. This discovery could change her life. Maybe be in the papers, first to discover a comet hitting earth. Maybe even better it might get that blue hedgehog's attention and make him desire her the way she desires him. Will he come...oh Sonic. " am I thinking of him it's not like he's thinking of me or anything. I mean it's been three whole years and hasn't even called me once or hell hasn't even sent a damn post card.
Come on Amy get your self together. You're a big girl now right, you're more independent now. I have not needed him for anything and won't anymore. I'm been doing just fine with out Sonic here. Yeah I have been fine with out him". Amy begins to run quicker to get to her destination. The faster she ran the closer she came to her dreams and desires come true. "Meteor here I come." she yells. As she gets closer she can see the damage caused to the park by what she thought to be a meteor. "Wow look at all this damage caused by one meteor. Most of the trees are gone. This is some meteor I had better start taking pictures to document everything. There it is I finally found you Mr. Meteor say cheese for me. Wait a minute here where is the meteor at? I better not have run all this way for nothing".
Amy scans through the hole covering every edge that she can. Her eyes widen in shock and she gasps out his name dropping her camera running in for him. She yells his name tapping him trying to wake him. No movement! She begins to loose her calm. Getting very nervous and shaky she starts looking around yelling for help, but no one hears her pleas. She looks around trying to get her nerves calmed down seeing a weeping willow which she can use to pull him out. She runs to it only getting what was strong enough to hold his weight. She ties a quickly made harness to Shadow and runs back to the top tugging with all her might to get him out of the hole. Sweat dripping down her reddish face she finally gets Shadow out of the hole.
She rests there before figuring what to do next when it starts to rain again. She looks up and asks why oh why is this happening now. Amy gathers up the last bit of her strength and lifts him over her shoulders and with all her might struggles to walk home. For only being two blocks from the park it seems forever to get there and as she approaches her apartment she realizes that she lives on the second floor. "CRAP! Can this get any worse"? Suddenly a strike of lightening strikes the tree down the street. "Damn I spoke to soon better get moving up the stairs". At she gets to the stairs she realizes she has an elevator here so she goes about the corner to catch elevator when she sees a sign saying that it is out of order. "Son of a" just as she's about to go on a rant lightening and thunder start going off muting the rest of her thoughts. She heads back for the stairs muttering to herself all the way up. She finally gets to her door after what feels like a millennium and sees that she left her door open when she left. She takes Shadow in laying him gently on the couch as she then looks around checking if anything was missing. Luckily nothing was missing. "Thank god"!
Going back to Shadows side she sees how dirty he is. Amy goes gets a bowl of warm water and a rag and begins to take his gloves off when she jerks her hands back because he is frozen. She gets some blankets and covers him up trying to warm him up. She turns on the heater as well. She does her best to warm his frozen body the best way she can. Though she remembers something about if you warm someone up to quickly they can go into shock, but what if you can't get them warmed up at all? Amy thinks that she has done what she can. She rubs her wet body and feels how grimy she is, "Damn Shadow all that and look how I am. I am filthy. Think I shall take a shower especially since I am dying of heat now". Amy makes sure the blankets are tucked under him and then goes to take her shower turning the knob to nuke warm water. While it warms up she undresses herself slowly and throws her clothes into the hamper. "Those are so gross. I can't wait to be cleaned up. Wonder if my water is ready? Well then that it is".
With her water warmed up Amy climbs in. Water hitting her sends a shiver down her back with relief to be cleaned and just to relax. All of a sudden Amy heard a noise from her living room. Though thinking it was nothing she shoved it aside just wanting to finish off her shower. Then another sound this time louder and glass shattering. She jumped out of the shower leaving water run and all. Throwing her towel on she bolts for the living room worried that something might be wrong. As she gets in there she looks around for Shadow and he isn't anywhere all she sees is a trail of glass and blood that starts to lead to the opened sliding glass door that leads to her balcony. She runs to the porch and starts yelling for Shadow. She still doesn't find him just as she sees the blood on the railing she thinks that he might have fallen over so she leans slightly over to look for him when she hears a sound behind her. She slowly turns around and there Shadow is stumbling toward her with a knife in hand. "Shadow are you ok? Shadow? It's me Amy don't you recognize me? Shadow please answer me. Shadow oh come on Shadow please". He gets closer as Amy shudders trying to think and figure out what is going on and how to get out of this. Amy blinks and when she opens her eyes Shadow is no longer in front of her. She slowly walks toward the entrance looking for him. When suddenly Shadow nabs her from behind throwing the knife to Amy's throat.
"Shadow. Oh Shadow please. It's me! It's Amy Rose. Shadow its ok. I'm not here to hurt you Shadow. Calm down Shadow its ok". Shadow tells her, "Shut up now where am I? Who the hell are you? What am I doing here? Why am I here? Answer me now". Amy starts to shake under the pressure of the knife against her throat, "Shadow it's me Amy and you are at my apartment. I brought you here to help you to keep you safe. You have to believe me Shadow I don't mean any harm to you". Shadow still doesn't believe her, "Tell me girl who you really are and why I am really here". Amy is starting to get frustrated at this point. "For the last time my name is Amy Rose how many times do I need to tell you that? Now calm your self down Shadow or you won't like what happens next".
"What will happen to me girl? What does a puny girly gal like your self plan to do"? At this point Amy is really; really irritated and jabs her elbow into his chest and then turns. As Shadow looks up Amy yells sorry and punches him straight in the face causing a bloody nose. He checks his nose and then starts to lash out on Amy when he takes another right hook as well as an air spin kick knocking him out stone cold.
Huffing and puffing Amy tightens her towel for the knot came loose from fighting the persuasive Shadow off, "OMG Shadow. Are you ok? Shadow wake up. I didn't mean to knock you out I just wanted to get you off of my back. Oh what have I done? At least those lessons came in handy maybe to much handy. My Ji jitsu instructor would be proud. What ever shall I do about you Shadow? Please wake up Shadow I need you to wake up. Shadow; ShadowWhat have I done especially since he was already half dead. OH MY GOD I KILLED HIM"
