Chapter 2: New Friends
She woke up on a patch of flowers covered with snow. She breathed in the chilly air and opened her eyes slowly. "Huh? What just happened?" She said quietly as the honey hedgehog got up. She rubbed her fore head as if she had bumped into a wall. Then she had this mental picture in her head. She tried to remember who was that picture in her head, the best she could describe him was an ebony black, crimson red hedgehog.
She just shrugged and tried to get up, but fell into the frosty snow again. She wasn't used to walking, so she just got up again and fell. "Maria, what did you get yourself into?!" The honey hedghog moaned softly.
Maria stood up, her legs wobbly, but stable. She walked akwardly across the snow. She got used to it and started walking fine. She just kept walking and walking.
Mean while at Angel Isle
The enchidna walked up the stair case, followed by a pink hedgehog, a small cream bunny, a white bat and a yellow two tailed fox. "So... you felt an energy wave again?" Amy started. "Yeah, it was pretty strong too..." Knuckles said flatly. Tails said, "Yup, my emerald tracker sensed a pretty big and strong wave". "Im cold..." Cream complained. Amy said to the little bunny, "Well, you didn't have to come along you had a choice to stay at the house with me ya know." Cream gave a look like, Well I didn't know. The enchidna stoped the gang saying, "You cant go any further". "But why?!" Cream complained, no response from Knuckles who was entering a small arch way.
"Oh great emerald, I wish to know why there was a disturbance I felt" the emerald glowed brightly, and then dimmed to show a honey hedgehog walking in the snow. His face was puzzled, 'Why would a girl be a disturbance?' Then he just said, "Thank you, oh master emerald" then he once again exited the arch way and said to Tails, "Get the tornado ready, we need to get to the forest of Mobious" Tails nodded without questions, Amy and the others followed silently. "What happened in there, knux?" Rouge said. "I saw a hedgehog girl, walking alone shivering in the cold" Knuckles replied.
Rouge just nodded, with a some what puzzled look on her face, and kept walking. "The X Tornado is ready! Every one hop in!" Every one did as Tails said.
Meanwhile at the Ark
Shadow walked accross the room, still wondering why Knuckles and Rouge were out in the cold... He shruged in frustrtion. He went to lay down on the nicely made bed, the blue sheets very soft. 'I need to get some rest, its been three days since I got rest...' Shadow thought, he didn't want to go outside. When it gets dark in winter, theres always a blizzard. The hedghog just snuggled in the bed, then fell asleep.
Shadow's dream
He woke up beside a honey hedgehog. He couldn't say any thing, or do anything. He just laid beside her, sleeping. She woke up and said, "Good morning Shadow" She smiled, he noticed she had the necklace he gave his old friend, Maria. The ebony hedgehog whispered, "Maria?" She nodded. He was so happy to see her, but then she vainished. The setting changed from a a bed to a wide mouthed volcano, with some thing green inside it. A grey hedgehog stood a few feet away, Shadow felt some what mad. He didn't know why. But then he saw her again, hanging on the edge of the volcano.
She called his name, he went running to her. But before his hand could get a good grip of her, the grey hedgehog shot a giant green ball of energy to her. She fell down leaving the necklace that Maria used to own in his hand. He cried, but didn't know why. (I hate when i make it rhyme -.-)
End of dream
Shadow woke up, panting and beads of sweat on him. 'What a strange dream... why do I keep on getting these? Is it some kind of warning?' The hedghog shuddered in fear.
Meanwhile in the forest of Mobious
The honey hedghog kept walking, shivering with every step. She was cold, lost and hungrey. She wrapped her arms around her, knowing it might not make a difference. Maria could hear the soound of engines, but it was very faint. She guessed that there was a plane some where, but it was vey far from here. She was headed in the plane's direction, but she couldn't run or feel her muscles. 'I wonder if im getting that thing called...whats it called? Frostbite? Mabye...' The honey hedgehog said to herself, she shivered more at the thought.
It was getting dark, the snowfall getting hevier and hevier. Soon she was stuck in a blizzard. The engine sound was close, so she tried to walk faster only making her legs hurt more. Maria didn't care if she was hurting, she needed some help, and fast. The engine roared then quieted down, she thought it might have landed.
Then she saw a figure in the distance, she clould best make it out as a pink hedgehog yelling, "Is any one there?!" Maria yelled back, "Here!" she winced, but then the pink hedgehog came running towards her. Before she could get ahold of her, Maria fell into the snow and passed out. The pink hedgehog screamed and ran faster. When she got to her, she could see the honey hedgehog face cleerly, it was red with irritation and she felt very cold. "Come here guys! quick!" Amy screamed. Rouge was the first to reach her, then Tails and last Knuckles. Cream stayed behind in the X Tornado so she wouldn't get cold. Amy helped the fainted girl up, with the help of Rouge.
They climbed into the plane and took off. While in the air Amy said, "Poor thing out in the cold all lost, probably no friends...I have never seen her around here before..." Rouge replied, "Yep, honey gril here must've got lost..."
2 hours later at Amy's house
Amy put the knocked out girl on the couch. Tails put a blanket on her, while Knuckles just stared coldly at the girl. Amy noticed and said giving a scowling look at the enchidna, "Why so harsh? Just because you saw her on the emerald doesn't mean treat her like dirt! hmph!" Knuckles rolled his eyes, Tails said nervously, "Now, now no need for fights" he said in a even lower tone, "Especialy around Cream..." Amy nodded in agreement. Cream just yawned unaware of what just happened. "Cream, go to sleep, ok?" Cream hesitated, but nodded in agreement.
As soon as she was gone, Rouge started "Knux, why do hate her?" Knuckles replied, "I don't hate her, i just have a bad feeling... Im going to bed, good night" Amy and the bat just gave a look of disgust to him, but he ignored it and went upstairs to his room. A few minutes later, Rouge heard the mysterious hedghog mumble some thing and said to Amy, "I think she's gonna wake up" Amy got up quickly and bentt down to see the honey hedgehog opening her eyes.
"Huh?" she moaned. Tails was asleep on the couch, but his ears perked up at the sound of the hedgehog's voice. "Well, you were out for about a hour or less." the honey hedgehog got up, and said, "Who are you?! Where am I?! oh im so confused..." Amy said softly, "It doesn't matter now, what matters is that your safe. Tails got up from the couch, yawned and walked over to the mysterious hedgehog, "Well, we found you in the snow shivering really bad, you passed out due to you being so cold.." the yellow fox said. "Whats your name honey?" the white bat asked, the hedgehog hesitsted, but then sputtered, "M-m-my name i-is M-M-Maria Rotnik.." Amy had to keep from spitting out her coffe, Tails eyes were in shock and so were Rouge's. "M-M-M-Maria?!" Tails said scared. "Yes, thats my name"
'It can't be...! She was supposed to be dead! And she's in hedgehog form...' The yellow fox thought, his face was indeed puzzled. Maria looked confused, then asked, "Whats wrong? Did i say some thing bad?" Amy just looked thoughtful for a moment then awnsered, "No nothings wrong...it's just.."Amy took a big gulp before saying it, "Your suppossed to be dead..." the pink hedgehog said softly. "I know, it a long story... It happened when I woke up in a room, I couldn't see the end, a voice explained to me that he would bring me back to life in hedgehog form, only if i promised..." she stoped and Rouge said, "Keep going, we are here to help you" So the honey hedgehog said "Only if I promised to serve him in my new life..." Maria said softly. All the animals in the room were in shock.
Rouge broke the silence by saying, "So, what did this guy look like?" Maria awnsered, "A grey hedgehog" Tails froze at her words, his eye twitched and he said blankly, "Grey. Hedgehog?" Amy said, "Yes Tails, that's what she said..." Maria got scared, Rouge could see it in her eyes, "Hey, Maria, don't get scared you'll be safe with us!" the bat explained, "Well, I don't-" Tails was cut off by Amy, who stepped on his shoe. "OW! what was that for?!" Amy said in a hushed voice, "Don't you see she's scared?" the fox nodded silently. "Hey, how bout some tea and we all go to bed?" Amy said, changing the mood.
"Sure" Tails said, "Im fine Amy, im going to bed" said Rouge. "Ok, so tea for three?" Maria replied, "I never tasted tea before, mabye once but I don't remember..." "I forgot to mention my name! Im Miles 'Tails' Prower, but you can call me Tails" the yellow fox said, "Im Amy Rose, just call me Amy" Amy said from the kitchen. "Very nice names, im happy to have new friends!" Maria said happily, whie Tails chuckled slightly. "Tea's ready!" Amy said, coming with a plate with three tea cups in it. Every one took one, while saying thank you to Amy. They just sipped and then Maria broke the silence, "I still have one problem..." "What is it?" the pink hedgehog said sipping her tea, "I have this mental picture in my mind, i can desribe him, but i can't remember his name..." Tails replied, "Describe it, we may know him" the honey hedgehog said uneasily, "He looks like an ebony black, crimson red hedgehog, with cromson eyes" again, Amy had to keep from spitting out her tea, Tails ears down. Amy said, "Is his name...Shadow?" Maria froze and dropped her tea, it smashed on the carpet. "Hey?! are you ok?!" both the fox and Amy said at the same time, they ran over to the shocked hedgehog.
"Yeah, i-im fine.." she whispered softly. "I think its best for a good night's rest, right? You've been through alot already.." Amy helped Maria up, and showed her a room upstairs, "This will be your room...um, you can borrow some of my clothes that dont fit me any more" Maria was a bit smaller than Amy she nodded yes. Amy left the room, so Maria looked around her room. She noticed she had a balcony, she opened to curtains. The wind whistled out side, and the snow falling from the sky. She sighed as Amy came into her room, "Here, its not much but mabye we can go shopping tomarrow?" it was a white spagetti straped shirt, with blue shorts. Maria went into the bathroom to change and came out, the clothes fitted her perfectly. Amy nodded and said "Good night" and she walked out of her room.
Maria layed there quietly, thinking about Shadow. She sighed and wished she could be in his arms right now...
