Chapter 4-
Still Shadow's Pov (may just stay that way...)
I observed from a distance and watched to see the turnout of this conversation. Unfortunately I couldn't hear a thing, I was too far to hear anything they were saying. All I saw was Amy smiling and talking to Sonic, so I guess I shouldn't make a big deal out of it. When Sonic left I approached the table and the food was already there.
"Sorry I was late Amy, I didn't know where to put your bags." I made up the story, I didn't want to intrude on Amy's talk with Sonic really.
"Oh it's fine, but where should we go after this?" Amy asked curiously as she started to eat the food
"Hm..." I never really thought of where to go from here... Maybe we could just go for a walk in the forest? It's better than nothing I suppose.
"Would you mind going on a walk in the forest?" I started, "I didn't really plan anything."
She smiled and nodded as we finished off our food. We soon left the restaurant and headed outside to a nearby forest, I usually go there most of my time when I'm not doing anything. I planned on showing Amy a spot that I go to the most here, it's a giant rock near a river. I was ahead of Amy as she stopped every once in a while to stare at the scenery.
"Wow Shadow..." Amy said slowly, "This place is beautiful..."
I chuckled and kept walking, "We haven't gotten to the spot I was taking you yet."
She sped up in front of me and twirled around. She smiled and said, "So where are we going?"
"Well if you're going to walk backwards, there's a tree right behind you." I lied as she quickly spun around to check.
"Shadow!" Amy screamed but I had walked around and already past her. She finally realized where I had went and quickly chased after me. When she finally caught up she was panting, and in between breaths she said, "Why...did...you...leave me?..."
I smirked and responded, "I didn't leave you, I just walked up ahead while you were screaming your head off."
She pouted and walked next to me as we neared our destination. There was a clearing through the trees where people were able to go through, I went in while Amy reluctantly followed. It wasn't a big clearing but it was big enough to have a couple of people in here, not that I'd tell anyone about this. Amy scanned the entire area, she saw the river, the huge rock and a massive tree.
"Wow." She said turning towards me, "You could put a swing on that tree!"
I laughed at her childish nature, out of everything she could have said she mentioned a swing. Amy glared at me as she asked, "Why are you laughing Shadow?"
I quickly stopped and pretended nothing had happened, "What do you mean Rose?"
She continued glaring at me for a while then turned back to the small clearing. As she was dancing around like a child, I stared at the sky. I first noticed a cloud blocked the sun, but then it turned into a mass of clouds. It would rain soon.
I called out for Amy to leave but she had disappeared. I frantically looked around the clearing, did she wander off? Was Sonic here to pick her up and that was why she was talking to him? Then I heard a giggle. I looked up in the tree and saw Amy sitting on a low branch, dangling her feet. She climbed down and stood in front of me and asked, "Whatcha looking for?"
I playfully glared at her then explained the storm situation.
"Hm... This is no ordinary storm..." The pink hedgehog thought out loud and I agreed with her
We started to head back to my place while I was in deep thought. This storm was not normal. Robotnik obviously couldn't have controlled the weather, but if not him then who's the new villain? More importantly how will I track him down? If he was unknown then how would I know his base of operations? Maybe Rouge knows...
Then a new thought popped up that drowned out the idea of a new villain. What happened to Amy and why was she deep in the forest? I know I wouldn't ask her but my mind bugged me about it. It made no sense, I like to have somewhat of an answer to mysteries but this one... Oh, but what do I care for? It's not like I'm concerned for her much, I mean I'll protect her from harm but I'm not that into her life.
"Shadow?" I hear a soft voice snap me out of my thoughts
"Hm?" I acknowledge her as she points to the sky
There's a figure but it's too distant to make out who or what it is, but it seems to be in some sort of a flying machine? In an instant it vanishes, leaving me to wonder was that Robotnik? I look at Amy to see her reaction and she looks terrified. Was this person connected to Amy somehow to make her this scared? She soon snapped out of her petrified state and continued on walking.
We didn't exchange words the entire walk, I was in deep thought and I'd hate to see what Amy thought of that thing in the sky. I opened the door and let Amy go in first. Luckily the storm didn't start yet so we managed to make it home in time, even if that person in the sky let us go home first. If that new villain was out there, he/she was out to get either Amy or me. Why else would the storms surround us out here in the forrest, and why didn't the person just form a tornado to get rid of us? If they controlled the weather they could easily take us out right?
"Shadow?" I was once again snapped out of my thoughts by Rose, "Are you going to stare blankly at the floor while standing outside with the door wide open?"
I went in and closed the door behind me as I made my way to the couch where Amy sat at. I should ask her if she knew the person, any information could help but I don't want to pry into her past. Amy fidgeted beside me as if she knew I was wanting to ask her the question. Maybe I should wait until she calms down and is willing to open up, I don't want to have an odd situation on my hands again.
I turned on the Tv to continue watching some anime, and to assure Amy I wasn't going to ask her about all that now. She finally stopped squirming and watched the Bleach episode with me, and she was completely zoned in. Maybe I'll make her into an anime person yet.
Sorry if it's shorter than usual, I've aimed chapter 2 and 3 at around 1700 and this one's about 1200- but that's still pretty long to me. Anyway, I changed the summary as best as I could since I thought I got a general idea of where I'm taking this story. It's not too much but it's something. I'm also thinking I'll just keep it as Shadow's story from now on, so don't expect me to put Shadow's Pov at the top anymore.
All in all I think I'm doing semi well for my first fanfiction and I hope all those reading are enjoying too. Also for the future of this story I may need an OC character and I'm not all that good with making up characters. So if I need them I'll ask in the future before I start the chapter it will be up top explaining the situation.
Well I guess I'll see ya later?
