Chapter 3: The Deal.

Yera POV.

I was peacefully strolling at my success in helping Sonic, when all of the sudden "UGH! WHERE IS IT!" I hear in the distance. I look around a tree and see a black and red Hedgehog. I gasp and he turns around. "Who's there!" he demands walking toward me.

"Uh...yer..*gulp*... Yera." I answer timidly.

"Mm... Yera."

"Yes that's me"

"Well Yera." He said sarcastically "I'm Shadow."

'Wait... Shadow... where have I heard that name?' I think... "OH! MY! GOSH! So...Sonic warned me about you!" I then attempt to tun off in the opposite direction of the workshop.

Since he is faster than me I didn't get very far, he walked in front me.

"Well, Well we have a friend of Sonic... I wonder what I should do." as he was saying this his face has an evil smirk on it.

"Uh... let me go?" I suggest hoping for the impossible yes.

"Why should I?"

'Ummm... I could lead you to where Sonic is' I think.

"Well."

"Uh... Will you just let me go!"

"Not unless we make a deal."

"Um ... OK."

"Good, now I don't have to kill you too."

"But what is this deal? I need to know that bit of info."

"The deal is as follows. I get this pink fox her name is Casey, she's with your friend Sonic. Take her and bring her to me. If you do this I won't have to kill you."

"Oh... I guess I could"

"Good, now I'll be here waiting for you with the girl." I nod and run as fast as I can back to the workshop making sure that Shadow was not following.
