Where there is Horror, there is Romance

"Why does she have to get such stupid ideas? Why is she so interested in involving everyone in her plans? And why does she want me to go along too?" thought Shadow, as he sat in his room thinking about the events of that morning. Little did he know that this was much more serious than anything they had ever gotten themselves into… Rated T because I want to play it safe.

Chapter 10

Where is she?

Shadow's POV:

"Shadow, are you coming?"

"I am coming, Sonic. You do not have to shout."

"Well, apparently I do since you're not coming!"

"Alright, since we need to leave soon let's check if we have everything and everyone is present," said Tails.

"We don't have to do that because I already checked all of our things and everyone is here," shouted Amy with enthusiasm.

"Then let us go, already."

"Okay, Shadow," said Knuckles," Calm down."

"I am calm-"

'-but really worried. My instincts are telling me that something bad will happen soon. I do not know why but I am suddenly concerned for Amy's safety. Wait. Amy's safety? If I would be worried it would be for Maria's safety since she is the one being held captive. Then why…'

"Shadow?"

"What is it Amy?"

"We are leaving now. Aren't you coming?"

I just realized that everyone except for Amy and Sonic had left and they were waiting for me to follow.

"Yes' I am coming."

"I started walking out the door when I caught Sonic giving me an understanding look, but he turned around quickly and started to follow the others before I could ask what that was about.

Later that evening:

I lay in bed after a long plane ride. We were planning to go to Edinburg castle the next morning by tour bus.

Everyone had already turned in for the night.

The committee that was waiting for us in the castle had arranged for us to be able to get some rest in a set of bungalows then owned not to far away.

Each of us guys got our own bungalow, but they were all pretty close to each other and the girls decided thy wanted to sleep together in a family size bungalow because they were planning to have a big sleepover, but I personally thought that half of them were scared so they wanted to stay close to each other.

I felt uneasy, but still I closed my eyes for second, but opened them again when I felt a sharp pain in my side.

I was in the castle again.

I knew it was just an illusion, so I tried to keep my calm.

But then I heard a deep and menacing voice dripping with madness:

"You just lost another one, how much more till you lose your sanity, huh?"

'Another one?'

"What do you mean by that? Who are you?"

"You will find out when you wake up and I will tell you who I am when we meet in my castle."

My vision morphed to a worried Sonic waking me up with a panicking Rouge beside him.

"Shadow, Amy is gone! The room turned black and she was gone! What do we do?!" screamed Rouge.

'So that's what he meant by another one! He will pay dearly if she is hurt!'

"We have to leave for Edinburg first thing in the morning. She is there. For now, gather everyone up and we will sit together here and try to get some rest."

"Okay, Shadow."

We gathered everyone into one room and sat there till morning in worry and grief.
