To Witness a Crime

The purple feline, a bit bored, waited for her friend to come out of the building. She was wearing a dark purple spring jacket with a pink tee underneath, her white pants reflecting a shade of blue in the current darkness. Her pink running shoes tapping the ground impatiently as she leaned against the wall next to the door.

"Silver! Can you hurry up?! It's dark out and we really need to get home! I have a bad feeling……"

"Oh Blaze, you always say that!" yelled a gray hedgehog as he ran down the stairs. He was adorned in a teal green pullover hoody and a pair of jeans ripped at the knees. His standard green shoes with white tips hit the pavement as he hopped the last few stairs. He waved a hand out towards her. "Shall we go?" he asked with a wink.

"Don't give me that! I was waiting on you!" he laughs. "Stop it!"

"Heh, come on. Let's just go now then."

"Fine….." she murmured as she walked past him. He just smiled and strode alongside. They walked along the silent streets until they heard someone, being a woman, scream. Silver looked to Blaze.

"What…..was that?" she looked at him worriedly.

"I don't want to know but….." she heard the quick patter of a set of feet, then another. "I think we're about to find out….." they cautiously took a few steps back as the running got too close for comfort. They saw the white bat burst off the side walk, trying to get to flight but was stopped by a deafening sound of bullet, grounding her harshly. The aggressor crouched over her, turning her on her back and pulling a knife from his belt.

"N-no please!" the eyes of the ivory were watering, pleading with the mat to no avail. With a swift movement, her aquamarine eyes lost their shine, her lungs lost all air, her heart lost all beats and her body lost her soul. She was dead. Blaze covered her mouth with both hands, wanting to cry but not daring to make a sound. Silver stood staring, mouth ajar at the bloody scene. The attacker stood up slowly from her body, slinging the blood from his blade and returning it to his side. Silver signaled to Blaze to back away, she nods. Unfortunately in doing so, his shoe scuffed the pavement all too loudly. The murderer looked towards them, freezing them in place. Crimson gems locked with topaz ones for what seemed like hours until the owner of the red ones took a step towards them. Blaze took the initiative, grabbed Silver's hand and ran for their lives.
