Refugee

The chilli dogs smelled devine, Sonic sat on his small bed and fixed his brown wool cardigan as he sniffed the delicious sent of his food. There's a knock on the door, which makes him jump out of his thoughts. Quickly he stands and walks to the door, the only one that ever visited was his idol, his dear bother. As predicted there he stands, holding a young woman in his arms. "Shadow, who's she?" He asked him confused.

"Ill explain later," Shadow shoved past Sonic hastily and set the young woman on his brothers bed. "She needs help." Sonic blinked, he looked over the young woman and saw her wounded chest. Quickly, he ran to a small cabinet that was under the room's window and took out a first-aid kit.

"What happened to her?" Sonic questioned as he rummaged through the box, this was nothing new to him. Shadow had often came to him when he was injured but he always came alone. He never trusted anyone enough to bring them to Sonic's home.

Not like any would, Sonic lived in the junkyard of the city, far from the society. Shadow had always feared that Sonic would get hunted and killed by his enemies and as his older brother he would not allow that.

Shadow's lips tremble but he inhales to keep himself contained and lets his words slur out freely, "She was shot. You've dealt with these type of situations before, please tell me you can save her?" He pressed on, his eyes are bloodshot and full of worry. His grief scares Sonic, never had he seen him show himself so weak. Sonic bit his lip before nodding with determination.

"I won't let you down." Sonic said as he took some tweezers and fumbled through Amy's open wound in search of the bullet that had pierced her flesh. "Bring me a bowl of water, towels, and blankets from my closet.

Shadow nodded and did as he was told, he stared as Sonic pulled out the bullet from his girlfriends wound and watched as his brother placed the water and some alcohol to clean it. Although unconscious, Amy seemed to feel the sting since she hissed and squirmed slightly. "Everything is going to be fine, Rose."

Shadow's shoulders relaxed as his brother bandaged Amy's open wound and smiled slightly. "Thanks."

Sonic wiped the sweat off of his forehead and grinned at his older brother. "Told you that I'd never let you down, big bro" He said cockily with a thumbs up. "But really what happened?"

The oldest frowned and gazed at Amy's sleeping form. "She was in a mission with me, I was careless and well you know the rest." He explained briefly as he caressed his girlfriends face.

Sonic noticed how lovingly his brother did so and watched him closely, "Is she the girl you always talk about when you visit? The one you said you were planning on proposing to?" He questioned with curiosity.

Letting out a pleasant sight, Shadow nodded as he tucked Amy with Sonic's blankets. It was true, he had been planning on proposing to her soon, he felt like it was the best time, that is if she hadn't of been shot. "Yeah, she's the one."

Shadow looked to Sonic, he wished his brother would of met his Rose at a better time. At least they were safe in this well-guarded secret location. "She's beautiful," Sonic complimented with a warm smile. "You did a good job with this one."

"I ask for a favor of you, brother." Shadow said in a serious tone as he snapped his full attention towards Sonic who looked caught off guard by the question.

"Anything for you, brother." Replied Sonic sincerly, the oldest almost never asked for favors so this seemed like a perfect time to prove himself. "What is it?"

"Take care of Rose until she gets well." Shadow demanded with a stern tone, "Will you?"

Sonic's eyes widen at the demand though he nodded slowly, he never really had to take care of anyone other than his brother. Actually, he never really even spoke to any one other than his brother and he people who at times came to the junkyard. His optimistic energy flowing like always. "Sure, I don't mind. I'll help as much as I can, you can count on me."

"I know I can." Shadow said distantly as he help Amy's hand in his. Sonic took a breathe out and stood. He opened his closet and took out a forest green T-Shirt and threw it at his brother who caught it easily.

"She needs a change of clean clothes, I'm sure something of mine will fit her." Explained Sonic as he walked to the door, not before pausing and turning back to his brother. "I'll sleep in the van tonight, Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Replied Shadow as his brother walked out and shut the door behind him. Shadow let put a huff that he had been holding in and hugged his girlfriend close, he could not bare anything happening to her.

He move a strand of her long pink quills out of her face and smiled lovingly at her, she was his all. She had changed his life the moment his eyes met with her's, he had never believed in fate before but he knew they were meant for each other.

"Sleep well, Rose." Soothed Shadow a he lay his head on her chest and shut his eyes from the fatigue he had been feeling. The whole day had been wild, he almost lost his love, his one and only. "I love you, Rose..."

Finally shutting the world around him, he fell into a vast slumber. He didn't mind the uncomfortable position of his back crouched, the bed was too small for the two of them, though, at least he could still hold his Rose.

The sun arose and the chirping of the birds overflowed the wind. Amy laid resting like the night before. Her w began to flutter open as the sun's light hit her view through the window, she blinked until she could register her surroundings. Her body felt weak and fragile, and to make matters worse, she could felt her brain pounding hard against her skull.

What the hell happened? Amy questioned in herself in her mind as she felt her after pain hit. She clinched her head in her and and released a sharp grimace from the pain. She must of stirred because she felt whatever pressure was against her chest remove itself from her.

"Rose?" That alluring voice called, Amy snapped her eyes at her boyfriend who leaned his face over hers, studying for any thing that might seem wrong on her, "Finally, you're awake."

"Where are we?" Asked Amy as she lifted her upper body with her arms and groaned from the pain that washed over her body and fell back onto the matters. "It hurts, it really does!" She complained at the edge of tears, she didn't want to show that she was weak so she did her best to hold them back.

"A safe place, my brothers home," Shadow rubbed her forehead with a wet rag, she had a fever, but she would be fine. "But you need to rest up, Rose." Amy stared at her boyfriend perflexed at the whole situtation, he seemed to notice because he chuckled. "Yes, I have a brother."

Amy frowned and gazed around the room, it was scented of blue berries and was reluctively small yet couzey as well. "Why didn't you even mention him to me before, I think we've been together long enough to know this about each other."

"I'm sorry," Shadow began as he looked away towards the window, "I don't really want lots of people to know, I don't want anyone to use him against me." He explained as he played with her quills.

"Still, I would never hurt him." Amy argued as Shadow nodded, it was obvious it bothered him to speak of his brother. Wanting to lighten up the mood, Amy smiled and took ahold of his hand. "So, what's his name?"

"Sonic." Repeated Amy. That was an unusual name, she had never heard it before I her 18 years of life. They were the only ones in the room though, "Where is he anyway?"

"Probably rummaging though all the junk that's outside, he does that sometimes," Shadow explained which made Amy's ears perk up with confusion. Junk? What junk was outside exactly. "We're at a junkyard, and you'll be staying here with Sonic until you get better."

Amy frowned and forced her upper body up. "No, I want to be with you. You can't just abandon me here, and in a junkyard!" She exclaimed, this was all so unfair, she did not want to be separated and by her boyfriend. She needed him as much as he needed her.

"Rose, no, you're wounded. I'm not abandoning you, I'll visit and take you with me once you're well again. You need to be safe, love." Shadow persisted as he gently pushed her onto the mattress. "Just until you're better, I promise." In truth, that was half a lie, he needed time to think as to what to do with her. She was being hunted, and it was way too risky to let her go out.

Amy was too fragile to refuse him, he was right, she needed to rest. "Fine, only until I feel better. Then, I'm out and back with you."

Shadow chuckled at her last comment and stroked her face, "Yes, we will." He leaned in and kissed her plum lips, a small peck. Amy smiled and shut her eyes, she need to rest, to sleep all the pain out.

When Amy fell back into slumber, Shadow stood and kissed her forehead. He tucked her into bed and walked over to the door and excited out. The sun greeted him and he squinted his eyes to get used to the brightness. He walked down a dirt path that led to a van and saw it empty.

Sonic was probably rummaging the junk just as he predicted before, he watched around his surroundings and sure enough, off in the distance was his younger brother searching for anything of value.

"Rouge, to Shadow, do you read me?"

Shadow pulled out his watch which was also a communicator and pressed a button, "Yeah, Shadow's here." He replied to it.

"Where are you? We need you back here quick, Eggman is planning something awful." Rouge replied hastily. Shadow frowned, he needed to leave his Rose sooner than he had expected.

"I'll be right there." He answered and gazed at Sonic who had not noticed him. He smiled warmly and turned away, "Take good care of her." He said and left the junkyard quickly.
