Sorry this chapies a little short.
Amy ran down the street a few tears in her eyes. "I can't believe he would do this, I thought I finally found happiness but Sonic has to ruin it, he had his chance it's just too late now." She had ran a long ways but she had finally slowed down to a walk. "Where can I go where he won't find me?" Suddenly she noticed where she was. "Hey doesn't Rouge live on this street?"
Knuckles sat on the light purple couch in Rouge's living room in front of him was a raging fire. The white bat herself was inching closer and closer to him until finally she had her head on his shoulder; Knuckles reached his arm around her waist and expected a slap but didn't get it. She looked up at him, her eyes slightly closed. Knuckles looked down at her as he moved in closer and then he kissed her. Rouge accepted this kiss and let Knuckles push her down so he was laying on top of her. "Knuckles I didn't know you felt this way." She smirked knowing he had felt that way for a long time.
"Well now you know." He joked as he smiled and kissed her again. Rouge wrapped her arms around his neck as the moment got more intense.
The door bell rang.
"Knuckles…I…gotta…get the…the door." She said between kisses.
"Let's just…pretend…no ones home." He said as he kissed her once more.
"Knuckles." Rouge finally pushed him off and walked to the door running her hands through her hair trying to make herself a little more presentable as she was a little messy. She opened the door and saw Amy standing there. "Amy?" Rouge looked at her wide eyed she wasn't expecting to see the pink hedgehog tonight.
"Hey Rouge, I hate to ask but can I stay with you tonight?" Amy got straight to the point, worried if Rouge would let her stay or not.
"Sure, sure come on in." Rouge pulled Amy into the house and shut the door.
Amy walked into living room; she looked around and almost jumped when she heard someone speak. "So Rouge who was it?"
"Knuckles is that you?" Amy asked as she thought she recognized the voice that belonged to the red echidna.
"Wha, Amy?" Knuckles sat up so he was looking at the pink teen.
"Hey Knuckles it's been a while huh." Amy said as Rouge entered the room from behind her.
"She's a surprise isn't she?" Rouge asked with a smile as she took a stand next Amy.
Knuckles sat back on the couch his hands behind his head, for a few moments but then stood up. "You know Rouge I really gotta get go'in."
"Oh ok, ah Amy just make yourself comfortable." She followed Knuckles to the door while Amy sat down on the couch.
Knuckles stood in the doorway as Rouge smiled at him. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him sweetly. "I'll see ya soon ok handsome?" She said as she hugged him.
"Yea I'll be back, wild horses couldn't keep me away." He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her back and kissed her. Finally he let her go and turned to walk down the stairs.
"Bye knuxie." Rouge said playfully as she winked at him and closed the door. Knuckles just smiled as he walked down the street.
Amy quickly turned back so she was facing the fireplace again, when she heard the door shut. Rouge walked back into the room and sat down next to Amy. "Rouge I'm sorry if I ruined something between you and Knuckles." She rubbed her arm a little unsure of herself.
"Oh it's ok it's not like we were doing anything to major." Rouge looked at the fire. "Anyway what brings you here?"
Amy turned her view to the left away from her friend. "I just need somewhere to stay tonight I, I just couldn't stay at my apartment." She pulled her legs to her chest and let her head rest on her knees.
"Amy something's telling me you're in trouble, now spill." Rouge said as she folded her legs under her and waited to hear Amy's explanation.
"Ok I can't go home because well I'm…I'm afraid." Amy admitted it at last.
"Afraid? Of what?" Rouge questioned as she looked at Amy a little confused.
"It's a really long story, and if I tell you have to promise not to tell another living sole."
"Ok I promise." Rouge was getting edgy she was dieing to know what had happened.
So Amy spilt the whole story from being to end. When she finally finished the story Rouge gasped and slid down the couch. "Wow that's quite a story, I need yogurt want some?"
"Yea sure." Amy got up and followed Rouge to the kitchen.
"I can't believe Shadow's alive and you're being stalked by Sonic." Rouge shook her head as she dug through the refrigerator. "Sooo, do you like Shadow?" Rouge asked as she set a huge tub of strawberry yogurt on the table and handed Amy a spoon.
Amy blushed as she thought about the black hedgehog. "Well…"
"Com'on Amy you can tell me." Rogue sat down in a chair next to Amy.
"OK…I think I might be crushing on him." Amy and Rouge gave girlish screams and giggles as they spooned into the yogurt. "So Rouge you into it with Knuckles?"
"Umm…yea you can say that; I think we have ahhh…a mutual bound." Rouge talked like they were only close friends if not less.
"Mutual my butt, you guys have a full fledged romance go'en on." Amy said as she popped another spoon full of yogurt into her mouth.
"And just how would you know that?" Rouge asked as she smiled a little curious.
"Umm…well I kinda saw you and Knuckles at the door." Amy admitted that she had watched the two earlier.
"Well I guess there's no hiding it Knuckles and I have a relationship." Rouge played with the spoon in her hand. "I know it's cliché but we're in love."
"Yea I'll say I saw that kiss at the door." Amy smirked at Rouge.
"Well what about you and Shadow?" Rouge made a good comeback.
"Umm…like I said I think it's just a crush is all I don't know if I'll ever be in love with anyone." Amy sank down in her chair.
"Oh come on Amy if anyone's goanna fall in love it's goanna be you I mean I think you want it more than anyone on this Earth and you deserve it after all you've been through."
"I just don't think I was meant to be loved." Amy looked down at the floor.
Rouge looked up at the clock that was hanging on the wall. "It's late we should get to bed, I'll get you a blanket and pillow and you can sleep on the sofa ok." Rouge got up and was walking toward the den.
"Hey Rouge." Rouge stopped in the doorway and turned to her. "Thanks."
"No problem." She walked out into the living room and into the hall where the door was and started pulling out some sheets and a pillow from the closet. Amy walked out into the den where she saw Rouge laying a pillow and light blue blanket on the sofa. "I'll see you in the morning, night." Rouge began to go up the stairs to her own bedroom.
Amy lay on the couch with the blanket draped over her body she watched the flames of the fire dance in the hearth. "Come back to me Shadow." She whispered as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Rouge closed her door and locked it she walked over to her closet and opened it she went to her knees and started going through the 20 shoe boxes sitting there. She pulled out one with 'West 9' printed on the front she opened it and pulled out what looked to be some sort of radio. She pushed a red button on the side and it crackled as it came to life. "You have reached HB what is your report?"
Rouge eyes shifted from left to right she was really having second thoughts about this. "HB this is agent Rouge checking in with the emerald case, I've got information on who the thief is."
"Well what is the information?" A male voice demanded as the radio crackled at the end of the question.
"Umm…" Rouge bit her lower lip. "It's too soon to make a complete assessment on the suspect, but I think I can be sure within a few days, until then I plan to find out where the suspect is residing and what his next move is."
"Good work AR check in with HB as soon as you learn more." Rouge turned off the radio and slouched back in the door frame of her closet.
"Why couldn't I do it?" She looked at her reflection in a full body mirror that was on the door of her closet. "You're losing your touch." She got up and then sat on her bed. "I can't protect them forever, but I'll try." The bat soon fell asleep.
