Chapter Twenty Five

"Shine?" Shadow breathed as his sister pressed a gun against his head.

There was the sound of the cot creaking as Shine got off it. "What do you want with me?" She snarled, not removing the gun.

"What are you talking abou-" Shadow was cut off when Kat and Tails came down the stairs, but holding some sort of fruit of vegetable.

Tails saw Shine up on her feet again and slowly set the strawberries he was holding down. "What's going on?" He demanded.

"That's what I want to know." Shine retorted, putting Shadow between herself and the two foxes.

Byrch came down the stairs, hearing Shine's voice. She saw Shine pointing the gun at Shadow's head and narrowed her eyes at Kat and Tails. "You lied to me?"

"No!" Tails insisted. He turned back to Shine. "I'm sure you're confused - After all, you haven't... been yourself for some time, now."

"What are you talking about, fox boy?" Shine snapped. "And choose your words carefully, or Sunshine over here is going to be eating bullets."

Kat narrowed her eyes and spoke to Tails, not taking her eyes off Shine. "Are you sure Mortuus left her?" She growled.

The gun was suddenly pointed at Kat, who's tail was puffed out like a pine cone now. "How do you know that name?" Shine demanded. The moment the gun was no longer pointed at Shadow's head, the black and red hedgehog got off the chair, gripped the handles and threw it into his sister.

Shine was knocked backwards, the gun flying from her grip. Kat hissed and dived for the gun, landing on her stomach, teeth gritted. She looked down at the gun and frowned. It was 'Celeste'. Didn't she have Shine's gun?

"Dinner and a movie, first, Sunshine!" Shine flared her wings at Shadow, who was grudgingly trying to pin her down. Shine smacked him in the head with the edge of the leathery wing. Shadow stumbled and ducked the other wing that came at his head. He jumped back to Kat and Tails.

Shine straightened her back, glaring at Shadow, Kat, and Tails. "So are you going to tell me what's going on, or am I going to have to beat it out of you?"

Kat's tail tip flicked with annoyance, almost like a cat. "Enough of this, Shine. We can't go around killing each other."

"'Each other'? Hey, at what point do you think we became buddies or something?" Shine snorted arrogantly.

Tails frowned. "Do you... even remember us?"

"Sure I do. It's... Low Pants, No Pants and Sunshine." Shine rolled her eyes. She looked at Byrch. "And Pixie Cut, over there."

"You don't remember us?" Kat breathed.

"Bloody hell, I don't!" Shine snapped. "So am I interrupting your Daily Wine and Cheese Hour, or are we going to see some blood?"

Kat's shoulders sagged and her eyes filled with a look of complete unbelief. Shadow just glared and Tails narrowed his eyes.

"Well then..." Tails muttered. "This could prove a problem..."
