Chapter Seven
Shadow got up early intent on finding Amy. Although he knew it wasn't her fault, he couldn't help but feel like it was. He stretched ready for the trek to her little house on the outside of the city's suburbs. He looked out of the window once more. Then turned and walked from the room. He decided to walk, which was unusual. The dream last night had taken a lot out of him. Whether he cared to admit it or not. Walking was the best option. That way he knew Amy would be awake and he had time to think about what he was going to say to her. He couldn't just blurt out that he'd dreamt about her. He sighed. His little plan of avoiding the pink hedgehog was going to be harder than he expected.
He walked through the city, away from the hell hole of a flat that he called his 'temporary home'. When he reached the green grassland outside the city, he let the cool breeze run through his quills and fur. The city only had those types of breezes on rooftops. It was nice to be on ground level with it. Shadow carried on towards the city limits. He came to a stop when something gleamed in the corner of his eye. He cautiously went over to it. He peered over the bush that was concealing whatever it was. He looked at the small two tailed fox that was happily tinkering with the gleaming thing. Tails felt like he was being watched. He turned to see the crimson eyes of Shadow. He jumped back in fright.
"Shadow" He said unsteadily. Shadow raised an eyebrow and him before looking over what Tails was tinkering with.
"What's that?" He asked the frightened fox. Tails looked at the contraption himself.
"It's a new prototype plane" He said his pride rising above the fear. "It's for us to go against Eggman" Shadow nodded.
"Where does that pink hedgehog live?" He said changing the subject Tails looked shocked
"You mean Amy?" Tails corrected, Shadow frowned then nodded "She lives over that hill in the distance. I think Sonic is there actually" Shadow grunted and walked away from the little orange and white fox. As Shadow got further away from the fox his blood began to boil but he couldn't explain why. He stomped the rest of the way to Amy's house.
Amy looked at the blue hedgehog that was sat on her sofa. It was a surprise visit and Amy wasn't sure of his motives but she enjoyed the company. No one hardly came to visit her, not even Cream. Sonic lead back and looked at her over his shoulder.
"How are you Ames?" He asked good heartedly. Amy smiled at her long time crush
"Fine thankyou. Yourself?" She couldn't help but smile at the way he was looking at her.
"I'm super" He replied with his trademark wink and thumbs up.
"Good. Now, what brings you here?" She asked the blue blur. Sonic shrugged.
"Tails is working on a new prototype. Knuckles is busy trying to get Rouge to leave him alone" He said dismissively. "Although I could go and see someone who wants to see me" Sonic smiled at the now frowning Amy.
"Would you like a drink Sonniku?" She said sweetly through gritted teeth. Sonic looked up at her with a smirk
"Sure" He replied "Coke please" Amy nodded and went to the kitchen. She reached up for a glass, then walked to the fridge. She rummaged around for the bottle of coke at the bottom of her fridge. She saw it behind the egg box and the back of the top shelf, she reached forward and got it, when she pulled it out, she kicked the door shut. She looked up and almost dropped the bottle in shock. Shadow stood in her kitchen, arms folded, looking at her with interest.
"Shadow" she greeted with a huge smile. He grunted. Amy smiled. "Want a coke?" She offered. Shadow thought about it for a moment before nodding. Amy picked up the glass intended for Sonic, poured coke into it and held it out for Shadow. He took it and took a sip.
"How's things in there Ames?" Sonic's voice came from the living room. Shadow looked towards the door and frowned
"Okay Sonic, give me a few seconds" She slowly went to get another glass just to make the impatient hedgehog in the other room wait. She started to pour another glass for Sonic
"I dreamt about you last night" Shadow said suddenly. Amy dropped the glass in shock and it shattered on the floor.
"W..what?" She stuttered, Shadow looked at her with a little smile, on the way to Amy's he had decided on the direct approach. He heard a commotion in the front room and Sonic sped in.
"Ames are you okay?" Sonic blurted out, not yet noticing the onyx hedgehog. Amy shook her head to get herself out of her thoughts
"Of course I am Sonic" She replied, Sonic let out the breath he had held. His eyes then rested on a smiling Shadow.
"What's he doing here?" He asked the rose coloured hedgehog. Amy turned to Sonic
"He has every right to be here as you do Sonic" She stated before kneeling down and picking up the broken glass. Sonic glared at Shadow but Shadow was paying no attention to him, he was watching the pink hedgehog on the floor. The coke was beginning to soak up in her pink dress, making it a much darker colour. Shadow then passed his crimson eyes to Sonic. He smirked at the blue hedgehog. Sonic fumed. She was meant to like him, not Shadow.
"Ames, I'm going to go" Sonic mentioned, hoping for a huge eruption from the petite hedgehog. Amy looked up at him and smiled.
"Okay. Nice of you to come round Sonikku" She said using her pet name for him. Sonic stood dumbfounded for a few moments before he smiled at her and ran out of her house. Amy then frowned at the floor, as if it was Sonic. Shadow put his, now empty, glass on the side. He then strode into Amy's front room. Amy's emerald eyes watched the red streak on his leg as he walked past her. She looked back at the mixture of glass and coke. She sighed and managed to pick up most of the big bits of glass. She crawled to the cupboard under the sink and got out her pink dustpan and brush. She quickly swept up the remaining shards of glass and swept up the coke that hadn't been absorbed by her pink dress. She stood and put the bits of glass in the bin and put the brush back into the cupboard. She wiped her brow with the back of her arm, before she remembered Shadow was in her front room. She brushed herself down to make herself look presentable. Amy went to the living room door and stood watching the dark hedgehog lay with his arms behind his head and eyes closed on her sofa. As Amy approached Shadow he opened one red eye to look at her. He swung round to sit up. Amy sat next to him.
"What did you mean Shadow?" She asked him.
"Exactly what it sounded like" He replied making sure he wasn't looking at her. The blush on Shadow's cheeks told a different story than the one he was willing to share with the rose hedgehog. "I dreamt of you"
"In what context Shadow?" She said softly. The dark hedgehog stared down at her.
"You were on the ARK. I saved you, but it wasn't supposed to be you. It was supposed to be..." Amy cut him off
"Maria" She said. Shadow looked at her and gave a slight nod. Shadow stood to leave. "You don't have to go you know" Amy said shyly. Shadow looked round at her, eyebrow raised. Amy walked up to him. Shadow looked down at the rose hedgehog. "You can stay here. If you don't want to go back to that place" Shadow took what she said into account. A few nights here wouldn't hurt him. He gave his surroundings another look over before looking back to the rose hedgehog.
"Okay" He said quietly. Amy smiled before snatching him up in a hug. Shadow was caught unaware by the hug and he tumbled to the floor with her on top of him. Amy blushed a deep red with a little smile whilst Shadow kept a straight face with an added blush. Amy looked down into his crimson eyes with her own emerald ones. She was tempted to kiss him. Shadow gave an uncomfortable look to the rose hedgehog, but his look went un-noticed. Amy leant in her head and gave the surprised black hedgehog a kiss on the lips.
Oooooh! Amy kissed Shadow! Thankyou for reading Chapter 8 soon!
