Amy's Point of View
"Shit."
"Is it… is it safe?"
"You could say that…"He told me with no reassurance in his voice.
What did he mean by 'you could say that'? If we moved would we become targets again? No surely not with the police here...
I heard rapid footsteps approaching our door, before it was swung open. Before my very eyes came three different officers. One of them, a bat, walked over towards the window checking for any clues as to what the shooting was all about. She was closely followed by a red echidna. The third officer walked over towards me and Shadow.
"Are you two okay? Not hurt are we?" He asked. I shook my head, not yet gained the ability to string full sentences, at the latter. The other two officers turned around and froze.
Why did they just freeze? That's hardly professional!
"Shadow!" The female officer exclaimed. Her name tag read 'Rouge'.
Wait did these two know each other? I guess I'm about to find out.
She ran forwards and instantly helped Shadow up. The other officer-Knuckles- helped me onto my feet.
"So, who's your new girl? We always knew you'd find the right one someday."Knuckles joked.
Shadow's Point of View
I cannot begin to describe the feeling I got inside at the mention of Amy being my 'girl'. It was a mixture of lust, passion, devotion and rage. Never in my life have I experienced a feeling like it.
Yes it's true, I have had images of her in my head...But she's my sister.
Damn it! She's my step sister. But that doesn't make it okay, or does it? We are as much blood related as we do resemble each other. In other words, we're not!
"I'm his sister, step-sister." I heard her mumble. I averted my eyes away from the ground and let me gaze linger on her blushing face before turning to face my friends.
"This is Rouge the Bat and Knuckles the Echidna, friends of mine. And this is Amy."
"Aw how come you never told us you had a sister? Aren't we you your friends?" Rouge teased.
Amy's Point of View
In all my life! Well, for as long as I've known him, never have I seen Shadow blush. And this girl caused it...
Does she like him? Does he like her? No, he's too arrogant for anyone to like him! Then again, I've seen his six pack... Oh God did I just think that, what is wrong with me?
Coming from the girl who had a wet dream about him...
I thought this had been cleared up
Nope, you had a wet dream and you know it!
We only kissed!
And it could have gone further if you hadn't pushed him off...
Enough!
The bickering inside my head had to stop!
Suddenly ringing emitted from the ebony hedgehog's jeans, abruptly ending my argument. He thrust his hand into the pocket and pulled out a mobile phone and walked into the kitchen, leaving me here with the three officers.
Okay make it two officers as I'm left alone with Knuckles and Rouge due to the third officer going to phone the office. Awkward or what?
"So..." I paused, trying to think of a topic, "You're Shadow's friends." It came out more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah." They both replied simultaneously. The room was once again occupied with an eerie silence.
Shadow's Point of View
Now, I'm a guy of little words but the silence in that room was enough to disturb me. I didn't expect them to get on straight away, actually no I never expected them meeting so they could get on. But nothing can be done now.
I'm glad I managed to protect her though. I don't know what I would of done if she was harmed in any way. I have fulfilled my promises for now. I saved her and protected her for my mother, her father and her friends. I kept my promises to them, but also to myself. She was conscious and that was all that matter right now.
"Shadow, I still can't believe it's you. We haven't seen you for a while, been busy you know." Rouge cried out embracing me in a tight hug. I looked over at Knuckles' crimson cheeks and angered expression. I mouthed the word sorry. He nodded his head before the blushing drained from his cheeks and his frown was replaced with a humble smile.
This was going to be an interesting reunion to say the least.
An hour later (Amy's Point Of View)
"I still can't get over the fact you have a sister and a cute one at that!" Rouge continued to tease Shadow.
I really wish they'd stop talking about me as if I'm not here. I can hear everything they are saying and it's kind of annoying.
It appears that Rouge and Knuckles have been friends with Shadow for a few years now, four I think they said. From what I've seen they are quite nice. Rouge seems fun anyway, Knuckles well he doesn't talk much but I think he's slightly shy around Rouge. Or so it seems anyway. But despite him being timid I also think their relationship is a fun one. Shadow say's all they do is bicker and I can see that happening, they have what I would call a 'love-hate' relationship.
Knuckles phone has just vibrated and he now looks sincere and professional. It doesn't take a genius to tell something is going on. And I think I'm going to find out exactly what the calls all about...
"Well Rouge's earlier assumptions have been confirmed, this was just a random shoot out. But due to the repairs that are needed you'll probably have to find somewhere else to stay for a few days or so, at least until the window can be mended. Do you have anywhere to go?"
What? Do I have anywhere to go? No...
Shadow's Point Of View
Thank you Knuckles! If he hadn't of mentioned a new accommodation I don't think I would have remembered the phone call I received just an hour ago. That's a shock to the system though. When I moved in here I told myself that I'd be gone as soon as any word came up about the apartment. But now, now I think I'll be sad to leave. Shocking how things can change so much over a short period of time.
"I'm not sure right now. But as soon as my Mother gets home we can arrange something." I told him.
"No problem, what are friends for? But we best be heading, paperwork to fill in..." Knuckles joked will rolling his eyes at the mention of paperwork.
"Okay, but don't leave it so long next time."
Rouge's eyes glazed over as she tried to think about something. They suddenly lit up, "Funny you should say that. Knuckles and I are going to watch a few DVDs, drinks, etc... Well we're just having a small get together basically. A night to remember. You should come along and invite your 'girl' along!" She winked at me and grinned consequently showing of her pearly white teeth. The grin clearly read you-should-of-told-me-you-had-a-sister-and-you-like-her-more-than-you-show. I gulped, this party was going to be... remarkable. I nodded my head to show her I would come before she left, close on Knuckles trail.
What a fun party...
But more importantly; what are we going to tell our parents? Where will they live? Well if I get my way Amy will have somewhere to stay...
