Watz Good People. Im new to this site and i really dont know if my stories will be as good as some of the ones on here. But i will give it a try. I have more of the creative skill in drawing. Im gonna be famous one day for my drawings and may actually make a world wide game or television show. For now lets just get started on the story. This will likely be rated for the mature audience only, sorry kiddies. There will be sexual content, violence, gory moments, and strong violence. So be warned. Without futher-a-do, lets began. Here it is Chapter 1
The Heart Of A Weapon
Chapter 1: A Warning Shot
Summer days. The only time of the year i can say i truley hate. Kids run around without a care of school. The annoying sound of the ice cream trucks music. And all of that stupid heat. At least with winter, when the snow is on the ground, the crunching sound can help me imagine im stepping on many little people. But summer, i get nothing but the useless heat.
The day started out as any normal day. The morning was nice and calm. The sun was barley coming up and only giving a small shine. The wind was giving a nice and cooling feeling to me. All was good. Then Sonic would show up and bug me about a race down the newest Fast Race Mace Zone course. (The Fast Race Mace Zone is a race track built on the ocean. It has a long bridge extending from the beach, to the front gates of the Arena. Only beings that are able to run at super speeds can compete) When i was sitting real comfortable under the tree in the park. A nice shady tree, with a real comfortable spot on its right side. I sat there with my arms over my knees and looking around. But he had to show up to ruin my peaceful morning.
"Hey Shadow. How is your day going?" Sonic said, leaning against the tree that i was under. I didnt acknowledge him. Usually if i ignore him, he gose away. I closed my eyes and started to meditate for a bit. "Hey Shads you home?" I felt his knuckles tap against my head. I quickly grabbed his hand and smack it away from me.
Sighing, i spoke up. "What do you want Sonic?" I heard nothing in response. So i took it as he left.
"Well you see theres a new track at the SRMZ and i was wondering if you wanted have a friendly race. So lets go already man." Sonic said, pulling on my left arm. Unfortunately, he was still here and bothering me.
"I will have to say no Sonic. You see i have some other matters to attend to. Besides, i hate racing with you. Your too competitive." I got up. The wind was pushing me forward, telling me to go. I didn't hate Sonic. I just prefered to be alone. There is no need for friends in a weapons life. I waved good-bye to my blue counterpart and left out of the parks east gate and headed towards downtown. I walked past a Payless. Cream and Vanilla were in there, probably buying shoes. Past the gym where Knuckles was turning purple under the barbell with five hundred pounds. And finally past the mall and a certain pink hedgehog was leaving through the front doors with six bags on each arm. It was just about to be seven and she had already gotten to the mall. I should just hurry to where Rouge was waiting for me.
I soon arrived to my location of choice, Starbucks. It was around eight when i got there. Rouge was wearing her normal outfit. Not a suprise since she really dosent like to leave her tight suit. The reason i showed up with her, is because she offered to buy me a coffee and we would talk over the drinks. I was sitting with her at a table near the window. The waitress walked over to us and delivered our drinks.(Yes this Starbucks dose have waiters and waitresses) I order a normal black coffee. She got some sugared down coffee drink with carmal and whip cream. Any idea of that sweet drink is not a normal to drink. But if she likes it, let her do it i guess. I sat there sipping on my coffee, when Rouge spoke up.
"So how's your love life with Sally?" She asked, placing her cup to her lips. The loud 'sluuurrrpp' followed behind her action.
I looked out the window. Trying to keep away from the subject. I saw her looking at me, from the corner of my eye. "She was too clingy. I dont like girls like her. I have no idea how Sonic ever dated her. She is almost as bad as Amy." I took another sip of my coffee. Rouge sighed at my answer.
"Poor Shadow. The famous Shadow The Hedgehog, is going to die alone. Or, well live alone for ever. I thought you and Sally made a cute couple."
"Whatever. And i forgot to thank you for setting me up with her. Thanks Rouge." I closed my eyes and crossed my arms.
"Well your welcome smart ass. Next time you ask for any of my single friends, i'll just tell you to fuck off. Would that be better?"
I always hated when she did that. She was my only best friend. The only friend a weapon would have, is a thief. "Fine by me. Go ahead and do that. Because im not going to ask you for a date, ever again"
"Bite your tongue Shadow. I know of a new cuttie for you." She got up from the table. As she walked by, i felt a hand be placed on my left shoulder. "Shadow be at my house around eleven. She will be there with Knuckles. See you Shads." With that said, she threw her coffee away and left. Eleven hu? I might go see who this girl is. I got up with my coffee in my right hand. I headed towards the front door. Just as i got there, i saw an orange Echidna walking up to me. Or rather the front door. She was wearing a light blue top, blue jeans, and light blue sandals. I opened the door and held it for her. She walked up. Smilling at me, she thanked me.
"Thank you kind sir. Glad to see this time has some gentleman still." She said it in a sweet and delicate voice. I smiled back and nodded. Her blue eyes were sticking out the most. Aside from her beautiful smile. She walked past me. I could smell the hint of bubblegum and mangos. A weird smell combination. But delicious none the less. I turned around to check her out. Her butt was nice and perky. Not a bad site. I hope the girl Rouge is trying to hook me up with is as cute as that girl. The door slowly started to sway back and forth, till it stopped. I started to walk down the sidewalk. The sun was starting to be over head. Meaning the time was close to noon. Might as well go see Rouge till that girl shows up.
I arrived at Rouges place around ten. Her house was a two story, purple building. It had a porch and a balcony. I could see her living room light was on, meaning she had guests over. I know this because Rouge rarely keeps her lights on. She only turns them on when she has someone over. I walked up the three steps and then to her screen door. I opend the screen door and knocked on her wooden door. She screamed 'It's open!' I opened the door and walked in. The smell of bread was in the air. Rouges house went by kitchen to the left, upstairs straight ahead, and livingroom off to the right. She had three couches. One long purple couch and two white love seat couches. Her flatscreen hung on the wall. She had it turned onto a movie, some chick flick. As i got more into the room, i saw Rouge laying down on the purple couch. She was dressed in a simple white tank top and black sweats.
"Man Rouge always laying around?" I said, jumping over the same couch she was on. I sat on her bare feet, just to make her mad. It worked.
"Shut up and get the hell off my feet. Im just waiting for knuckles and his cousin to show up." She sat up a bit. Not taking her eyes off the tv, she spoke again. "You are here a bit early. I said eleven not ten. You'll have to wait an hour for them to get here."
"Fine by me. I got nothing to do." I kicked off my hover shoes and rested them on her coffee table. Rouge glanced at me, then to my feet. "By the way. You never told me what she looks like."
"Well you will like her. Trust me, okay? She's new here and dose not know many people. So please be kind to her, instead of your usual emo self." I felt a vein snap. Emo was one of the worst word to say to me. Rouge chuckled. She knew i hated that word. She only teased me, but i still hated that word.
Rouges doorbell rang. She got up off the couch and headed towards the front door. Probably the girl and Knuckles. Rouge opened the door, revealing Sonic, Amy, Blaze, Silver, and of coarse Knuckles. Sonic plopped down on a love seat. Amy halfway attack Sonic to sit with him. This made me laugh at his expense. Silver took Blaze by her hand, taking her towards the second love seat. Knuckles sat down next to me, he kicked his feet up as well.
"Sup Shadow. Whats been up?" Knuckles said. His vocabulary was not the best it could be. Then again Knuckles has always been more muscles than brains.
"Nothing really Knucklehead." He leaned over to me. With crooked smile, he whispered.
"Hey. Rouge mentioned you would be here. I noticed that you are looking a little gloomy. But my cousin will be here in a minute. She had to drop off some of her stuff at her new apartment. Try not to look so disappointed that she didnt show up with me." He chuckled at his words.
"Knucklehead the only reason i would be disappointed is that you showed up at all. With or without your cousin." Knuckles opened his mouth and raised his finger. It was like he was frozen. I shrugged at his frozen action.
Rouge walked by. She saw Knuckles, pointed, and mouthed 'You had a good come back?' I nodded. She gave a thumbs up and walked to the kitchen. She later came back with Sprites, Dr. Peppers, and Cokes. The six of them grabbed their drinks. Amy noticed i didnt reach for one.
"Shadow are you not going to grab a drink?" She asked.
I shook my head. "No thanks Amy. Im not big on cokes." She shrugged and return to gawking over her hero. Amys attire was strange. She wore a brown jacket, a green top, and a short white skirt. It was short enough where i could see her black underwear. My face felt like it was on fire. I turned away. I once thought about me and Amy. That was long ago.
The time back then was Vanilla's BBQ. Everyone was there. Sonic, Knuckles, Blaze, Rouge, Silver, Espio, Vector, Charmy, Cream, Tails, Amy, and me. I was near the pool. Amy was beside me, wearing a red and gold two piece. It wasn't that bad of a site. Anyway, we were standing near the pool when Blaze came up behind Amy. With devious smirk, she pushed Amy in. Amy fell forward and did a flip as if she was an olympic diver. She went under, head first. And after a minute or two, she didnt surface. I could she her at the bottom of the pool, just floating down there. Instantly i jumped in after her. I swam down. She wasnt moving at all. I reached out and grabbed her arm with my left and with my right i swam up. We surfaced. I spit out a bit of water and looked at Amy. She was alright.
"Thanks Shadow." She smiled and kissed my cheek. My cheeks turned bright red. Red enough where they could be close to my red streaks. I looked away and nodded my head.
Later at night, everyone was in the house. I need the bathroom and head down the hallway. The light was on in the bathroom. Taking caution, walked near the door frame. Knocking on the frame, i called to the person inside. "Are you all dressed in there?" No response. I asked once more. "Hey! Are you dressed and alright?" This time i could hear sobbing. Without talking a second thought, i rushed in. But what i saw made my nose start to bleed.
Rouges doorbell rang. Everyone in her livingroom looked at the door. Knuckles chuckled with his eyes closed. Crossing his arms, he said. "She's heeerrreee." Laughing, Rouge made her way to the door. With a turn of the locks, the door opened. My eyes widen at the person behind the door. It seemed a bit impossible that it was her.
Fewwhh. Chapter 1 done. I feel like it went good. Sorry i jumped around a bit. I kinda had to explain alot. I ended the flashback a bit early beacuse it will tie into a later subject.
