It was only a few minutes later and there was a knock on the door. I
already knew it was Sonic. Rouge opened the door and Sonic came in.
"Shadow!" Sonic shouted in excitement. "You're really still alive! I can't believe it!" He came over to me and put his hand up for a high-five, but I didn't return it. Sonic put his hand down. "Shadow? What's up with you, man? Something bothering you? We're friends right?"
"I guess you could put it that way." I said.
"So then what's on your mind? You're actin' kinda weird." Sonic said to me. "Is it because of Maria?" I turned my head quickly and gave him a stare. "Whoa, Shadow!" Sonic said, backing off "Didn't mean to upset you like that. You scared me there for a minute. Your eyes were burning like fire."
"Sorry, Sonic," I apologized, "I just get like that sometimes when Maria is mentioned."
"Oh, it's all right. So you're staying here with Rouge?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said, walking around and then over to Rouge. "Where's my room?"
"Just go up the stairs and it's to the left. The first room after the bathroom. Why?"
"I'm tired, I need some rest." I said and went to my room. It was a small room with a small bed. There was a desk in the right corner with a mirror on top of it and a tv in the other. I didn't want to come here to rest, I just wanted to get away from everything. I opened the window, it was still raining except not as hard. I jumped out and started running as fast as I could. I was sure where I was going, I just ran. I stopped when I tripped over something and cut open my knee. "Great," I said, trying to wipe the blood off but most of it came off from the rain. Finally I got up and turned around to see what I had tripped over. I was sure it was a rock at first but then I realized it was a chao.
