Unreadable Feelings

Monday 7:30pm
For Rouge, today was like any other day, extremely boring; ever since team Dark had split up and gone their own ways she had nothing to do but lounge around in her compartment above club rouge, but even her club was starting to bore her.

Shadow had stayed with her for a while but he too went his own way, even though she had no idea where he was staying she somehow trusted in what he had said to her months ago. She hadn't seen him since then or heard from him either there wasn't even anything in the papers or on the news; to her he had completely vanished into thin air.

Rouge sighed and leaned back into her chair she had missed Omega but not as much as Shadow after all she had know him for years, she'd always felt a connection with him but now was starting to feel lonely again. Not even her massive stash of stolen jewels in her room gave her any happiness and she was pretty sure that there wasn't any more that was worth steeling.

Rouge decided to find comfort in the TV but seeing yet another news report about Sonic saving the world made her miss Shadow even more. Just then Rouge heard a knock on the door, she nearly tripped running over to it.

"SHADOW?" she screamed swinging the door open.

"Um, no it's me..."

"Oh, what do you want Knuckles?" replied Rouge her ears staring to droop down and feeling extremely stupid for putting on such an act.

"To see how you were but it seems to me you were already expecting someone..." Knuckles smirked which Rouge now became determined to wipe it off his face.

Ever since Rouge had found him in bed with someone else when they were clearly going out she had grown a massive grudge against him. Knuckles had repeatedly tried to get her back but some how she felt... nothing anymore towards him.

"Well if you don't mind I'm busy so..." Rouge was suddenly cut off by another life story of him.

"When I was on my way up here I really didn't think for a second that you'd be expecting someone!" Knuckles narrowed his eyes, annoyed that this someone happened to be that hedgehog he had always hated, Shadow had always had an unbreakable friendship with Rouge and he could tell there was probably more than that to it, and for that he was jealous of him.

Rouge tried to swing the door shut but Knuckles stupidly put his hand in the way, which he regretted because she hadn't knottiest.

"HEY! Open up!" Knuckles shouted, staring at the door which had also hit him on the nose. After a good ten or twenty minutes he finally stopped.

"I need to get out of here" She groaned. Not wanting to run into Knuckles again Rouge opened the window in her living room and flew out onto the ground below her apartment.

Monday 10:30pm
Rouge began walking down the street, it had never been this quiet... in fact she was the only one that was out so it seemed even Knuckles seemed to have vanished father quickly. Rouge shuck her head determined to get that idea out of her head. Rouge just happened to look down at her phone, when she knottiest she had a message... from Shadow.

"SHADOW!" Rouge screamed slipping her phone up; it was probably a good idea no one was on the streets... or the road because Rouge had definitely lost her dignity at that moment.

Don't leave your flat.

"Oh..." Rouge sighed "I actually thought that he wanted talk to me, but no he wants me to stay at home?" Rouge nearly threw her phone in anger.

"Why doesn't he want to talk to me...?" she trailed off not realising that in fact she really did need to go back inside.

Peering up from her phone Rouge realised she really needed to get back in side. From a distance the figure in the horizon looked like Sonic, but it couldn't be for starters he was much fluffier and taller and had extremely sharp teeth but yet it was blue.

Rouge froze it was looking straight at her and growling; snapping out of what felt like a trance, Rouge flew up back though her window shutting it behind her. Breathing heavily Rouge locked the door and sat down again fearing for the worst. What happened if it happened to get into her apartment? She had fought many monsters and robots before but for some reason felt like she couldn't fight this one; it was almost like she knew who it was...
