"Shadow, won't it be nice when we can finally get back down to Earth?"
Maria asked me.
"I guess, as long as you're with me." I answered her back. All of the sudden, the room started flashing red. " Oh, no. The alarm system!"
"SYSTEM ALERT! SYSTEM ALERT!" a mechanical voice said. "BREAK IN AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE! SYSTEM ALERT!"
"Maria, we have to get out of here before.."
"Stop right there!" some men with guns shouted at us. We didn't stop though, just kept on going. Finally, we reached the escape pod. I got in and waited for Maria. The men were still coming.
"We told you to stop!" they yelled. The next thing I heard was the sound of bullets flying and a thud. They had shot Maria and she landed by the controls.
"Shadow.give the people of Earth a chance.. to be happy." She told me and pushed the button to release the pod.
"MARIA! NO!" I yelled, waking up from my dream. "Maria..." I said again quietly, looking around. I was still in Rouge's apartment. I glanced over at the clock and it read twelve o clock midnight. I got up out of bed and looked at myself in the mirror. I noticed I had been sweating.
"Shadow. Shadow" a voice said and I turned around.
"Who's there?" I called. The window was open. Maybe it had just been the wind. I walked over and closed it and then lay back down. As soon as I closed my eyelids, I heard the voice again.
"Shadow... Shadow..." it sounded like a girl's voice. "Shadow.. it's me..."
I sat up in bed and saw a blue, transparent body floating in front of me. I recognized it almost immediately. "Maria!"
"Yes, Shadow, it's me. There is a way to bring me back.." She said and vanished
"Wait, Maria! Don't leave yet!" I shouted.
"The answer lies in Egypt." I heard faintly.
"Egypt?" I said to myself. "That's were the Eggman's base used to be. I wonder if it has any connection." I decide I would start my journey tomorrow.
"I guess, as long as you're with me." I answered her back. All of the sudden, the room started flashing red. " Oh, no. The alarm system!"
