Chapter 4- Darkness Revealed
"Shadow?" Tails cried suddenly. She backed away from the dark hedgehog with fear in her eyes.
"Why do you seem so surprised?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.
"You disappeared... we all thought you were dead." Tails said quietly.
"Ah yes... well you were wrong! And now I'm back!" Shadow said with a flash of anger in his voice.
He then caught himself and took a deep breath. He smirked and offered his hand to help up the fox. Tails hesitantly took it and stood up.
"So... tell me why you are here alone... aren't you usually with Sonic?" the hedgehog said curiously.
"I can't talk to him anymore... he found out I've been lyimg for a long time..." Tails broke off into a sad silence
"Just because you are a girl?"
"How did you...?"
"I've been watching you Tails. You seem like a girl at times. And your voice is very soft like that of a female's. But... what I don't understand is why you lied to Sonic and all of your "friends". They like Amy and Cream, and their girls too, right?" Shadow said with a strange tone of voice. It seemed somewhat... caring...
"I... Sonic thought I was a boy because when he first met me... I was working on my airplane, the X-tornado... It looked like something a male would do so he just... thought I was... and i even look like a boy... a little..." replied the meek young fox.
"Well why didn't you correct him?" he then asked.
"I don't know... I just didn't want to give him the wrong empression... like he would turn me away just because I was a girl..." Tails said sadly.
"That's not very confident now is it?" said Shadow. "You seem like a good little girl, very small and polite. I don't see why Sonic wouldn't like you."
Tails sighed in response. She felt like crying again but couldn't bring herself to. Shadow smirked again. Suddenly, Tails heard her name being called.
"Tails! Tails where are you?" called the voice.
"Sonic!" both Shadow and Tails gasped. Shadow seemed angrier than Tails seemed scared.
"Tails come with me. I can help you with your problem. And you won't have to deal with Sonic ever again." Shadow said msteriously.
Tails didn't konw what to do. She wasn't sure if she could trust Shadow, but she was also afraid to face Sonic and the others. Tails was tempted to go with Shadow but was also tempted to let Sonic find her.
Before she could decide on what to do Sonic burst into the clearing.
"Shadow!" Sonic cried shocked.
"Sonic..." Shadow growled.
"Oh no..." Tails whispered to herself.
"Leave Tails alone!" Sonic cried out.
"So you can just make her feel worse than she already does? I don't think so." Shadow asked smirking.
"Tails..." Sonic said sadly. "C'mon, we gotta go home..."
Tails nervously looked at Sonic, then to Shadow. She didn't know what to do.
