Chapter 2: Head over Heals
The next few minutes were a blur as the two left the party. I finally have him alone, no way can he escape now. Rouge smirked to herself in the dark.
"We're not driving are we?" Knuckles asked quietly. Almost inaudible.
"Well I guess not, we can just walk, I've got a place up the hill" She looked at him in the dark. It was cold. He had his arms crossed and she saw his breath flow out of him into the cold air. There was a moment of silence as the two kept walking up the green hill, until he stopped. "What's wrong?" she had slight concern in her voice.
"Uh I don't think this is such a good idea" he started backing up.
"What? Don't be scared. I'm not going to bite you or anything" she gave him a persuasive smirk. But it only made him back up more. Why does he want to leave? She looked down and fixed her cleavage so it stood out a little more. Does he not want this? What is his problem? She was starting to feel angry.
"I just, well you're drunk, and I'm drunk. This isn't the best idea" he spoke truthfully. "Maybe we should just go back to the party" motioned over to the house where the strobe lights and music was exploding out of.
"No. I think we should just keep going" she stated as if she was explaining the correct answer to a stubborn child in math class. She made a quick grab for his hand, in an attempt to pull him her way. But he just moved it in time to escape her snatch.
"Woah woah, chill Rouge" His eyes widened in shock and he was now alert. He staggered backwards and she moved steady as a rock forwards with a glare on her face. They stopped and starred at each other. She couldn't read the expression on his face, and then he bolted for the entrance to the party.
"What the hell? Get back here!" Why is he running? Oh shit did I just pull an Amy on him? Her heart sank a bit and she ran towards him at full speed. "Hey come back Knuckles!"
Knuckles stumbled as he ran and came smashing into the front door, knocking it open. Nobody seemed to notice him rush in, and he quickly ran into the crowd until he was way in the thick of it. The crowd was large and bouncing, there was no way she could point him out. He straightened up a little as the bodies bumped against him. He looked towards the door. The music was so loud was and people kept jumping on his feet.
"Ouch, ouch ouch" he murmured, and kept his head low. He couldn't even think it was so loud. It almost sounded like somebody was screaming his name in the distance. Then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around slowly waiting for the white bat, but when he looked it was a girl with purple hair long hair, and a pink drink in her hand. She was shorter then him by almost a head and gave a very friendly smile that had to make even the fearful Knuckles smile.
"Hey! Remember me from before" she shouted loudly over the speaker.
