Sonic's Pov
There was deafening crack as the entire building collapsed, in a heap of fire and rubble. I heard Gabriela's parents hitting the window as they realized what happened to their daughter, I couldn't look away from the debris. I failed, I let a girl die, because I wasn't fast enough. The trip home seemed to last for hours, when we landed Gabriela's mom had to be carried from the plane. Her eyes were swollen from the tears, it was almost unbearable to look at her. Her father was silent as he held his weeping wife as they walked into the Blue Typhoon. Tails and I walked ahead of them leading the way up to the bridge, Amy held Cream as she sobbed when we told them. Her parents sat in a corner holding on to each other, they lost their only child. I walked out of the room the sadness becoming even more unbearable than it already was. The wind lightly tousled my quills as I looked out towards the trees, I'm the fastest thing alive how could I not be there in time? I heard Tails come running up towards me.
"S…SONIC!! Gabriela's parents said that they saw a black blur streak past them. I think it might have been Shadow, he might have saved her!" Tails said out of breath, instantly my spirits began to lift. Maybe, maybe Shadow saved her. He couldn't have left her, he didn't leave Chris at Prison Island when it was about to blow up. I had a new hope, I was going to find her, for her parents, for Amy, Cream, Tails and me too.
Gabriela's POV
I woke up to grass tickling my nose, I wiggled my nose hoping the feeling would go away. I was laying on my side the sun directly on me, warming me up. I opened my eyes and sat up looking around me, instantly I remembered everything that happened last. The ceiling falling on top of me, then a flash of black and red, what was that? I stood up looking around me, I was completely alone except for the loud chirping of the birds. I walked a little ways when a deep soft voice sent chills up my spine.
"You're going the wrong way."
I turned around to see Shadow standing a foot away from me, I took a step back a little afraid. We were in the middle of nowhere so no one would hear me scream if he decided to kill me for busting his nose.
"Hmmph! Some thanks for rescuing you." He said still walking towards me, I yelped as I backed into a tree.
"T…thanks. I…I…uhh… I'm going to go ahead and go back to the Blue Typhoon. Uhh… b..bye." I stuttered as I gripped the tree as he still walked over to me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the tree and began walking.
"W…where are we g…going?" I asked voice beginning to quiver. He didn't look at me when he answered.
"Don't you want to go back to that Faker and his friends?"
"Yeah-"
"That is what I'm doing. Walk faster!" He growled pulling me forward, I tried to keep pace with him but it was very difficult I was sure I heard him swear under his breath. I bit my lip as we continued through the forest. It was sundown and my feet began to throb, then a thought entered my head.
"W…Why don't you use Chaos Control?" I asked , I don't know why I didn't think about that earlier.
" Because, the emerald is lost. When I teleported here it disappeared. Hmm…I had hoped we'd be closer to that fox's ship apparently it'll be another day." He dropped my hand as he explained to me.
"We'll camp here for tonight, Look around for firewood. I believe that from your experience of camping that it will be very cool." I walked around looking for bits of sticks or twigs, after creating a pathetic pile of all twigs. With a quick Chaos Spear it was all aflame.
"I suggest you rest. Tommorow we'll be running."
"R…running?" I gulped, he had super speed how'd he expect me to keep up?
" I will be running, you'll be carried." He said sitting a little bit closer to the fire.
"O…oh okay…good night." I said as I laid on the grass, I looked up at the stars.
"Wow. They're so beautiful." I whispered as I stared at them it was like they were dancing.
"Hmm." I decided to go out on a limb.
"Does it ever seem like they're dancing? My mom said that wealthy people wear diamonds and other jewels because they can't see the stars in the city. While the people with less money get to see diamonds every night." I said, there was a eriee silence.
"Hmm. I suppose so, the view of the stars is…stunning from space." I didn't know what to say, should I continue or stop pushing my luck. A star streaked across the sky.
"A falling star! Make a wish…Hmm. I wish for my mom and dad to be safe." I said as I pointed to it streaking across the sky. It didn't surprise me that he didn't say anything, I stayed quiet for the rest of the night and fell asleep.
