Chapter Two

Tenderness

After escaping the police Angel flew across the skyscrapers of the city before coming to a tall abandoned building on a dark street. He saw the balcony and landed on it, the sliding door was open.

Angel walked in sliding the door shut behind him, he then looked across to a large king sized bed in the middle of the giant room and smiled. There on the bed lay a beautiful female purple hedgehog, she was laying on the top of the covers, her head resting on her left hand and a book in her right.

Angel smiled, she must have fallen asleep reading her book, he walked over and kissed her on the cheek, she moaned a little but didn't wake up. Angel smiled again and lifted her body gently so he could put the covers over her, then took the book away from her hand and put it on the bedside table.

It had been almost six months since Angel had killed Razor and his gang and avenged the murder of his parents, after he and Amethyst had been saved from death by the Shadow Rogues; they had found an apartment in Downtown Mobotropolis so they could be safe from the law.

Angel felt after settled into his new home with Amethyst that he had a reason to live, to protect her, and to protect Mobotropolis from the crime in the world. Angel leaned down and kissed Amethyst again, he then walked out of the bedroom into a small room where he took off his trench coat and hung it up on a hook, then took off his weapons and placed them in a wardrobe.

As he hung up his weapons and coat, he looked around at the walls, on the walls were newspaper cuttings and headlines, and photographs, many headlines screamed about Angel and his killings:

KILLER OF EMERALD CITY PROTITITUTES, BLADE CITY DEALERS AND MOBSTERS, AND DIAMOND CITY NIGHTCLUB BOUNCER NAMED!

BLACK HEDGEHOG MURDERER KILLED NIGHTCLUB BOUNCER!

GLITTER CLITTER BARMAN FOUND DEAD AND IMPALED AND ROASTED IN FOREST OUTSIDE NIGHTCLUB.

ANGEL THE HEDGEHOG KILLS GANG OF RAPISTS, VICTIM GRATEFUL TO BLACK HEDGEHOG ASSASSIN

ANGEL THE HEDGEHOG'S MURDER OF BURGLERS SHOCKS POLICE.

Angel then looked at the photos of the criminals he has tracked and murdered, he felt satisfied that he was tracking and killing the criminals of the world, he knew that was his reason in life.

He then walked over to a desk where there was a book laying there, as if carefully preserved, he stroked it, it was his scrapbook, his most prized possession, he picked it up and opened it, it showed photos and drawings he had done, showing his emotions, thoughts and most of his life, from when he was a happy child with his parents before they were murdered. When he was growing up in the Children's Home, then onto when he was training to be an assassin before he finally went on his mission.

He picked it up and walked back into the bedroom where Amethyst was still sleeping, he then took off his clothes and slipped into bed next to her, as he lay next to her, he rested his scrapbook on his lap and took out a pen writing about his experiences earlier in the evening.

I stopped a bank robbery today, two weasels trying to steal cash, I managed to stop them from escaping when they robbed the bank, I killed them by stabbing one in the throat then throwing the other off the building.

After I killed them the police arrived, again they looked at me and called me a murderer, I know I'm a threat and a saint to the Mobians, the police wish to catch me, as do some of the public, but the victims of the criminals are grateful for my actions. I hope some people will be grateful for stopping the bank robbers.

Even though it's hard fighting crime and being on the run from the police, I still live in a light, my beloved Amethyst who if it weren't for Valor the Hedgehog would still be dead by Razor's bullet. My purpose in life is to protect her above everything else, I almost lost her and I won't loose her again.

Angel smiled at Amethyst's sleeping form, he then saw her roll over in her sleep and snuggle up in a ball close to him. Angel was in the middle of sketching the bank robbery when he felt Amethyst snuggle against him and moan feeling his warmth.

Angel placed his scrapbook on the bedside table, then lay down next to Amethyst, he began to nuzzle her and smell her beautiful lavender scent. "Goodnight my love" he whispered softly kissing her once more before he fell asleep holding her in his arms.

Awww, such sweetness between Angel and Amethyst. But will their safety and happiness be threatened?

I was also asked if I was gonna continue with War of the Mobians, I will be writing more, I just got a little Writer's Block, but hopefully will get on track again! lol!

Enjoy!
