Chapter 2

The next day the sun shone threw the window waking the purple hedgehog from her sleep on the couch. she opened her eyes, sat up and looked at her surroundings.

"Where am I?..."

"Here" said a voice behind her, causing her to jump up and smack him in the face. he put his had up to the red mark, and growled.

"what the hell was that for?"

"you startled me! where am I anyway? and are you Shadow?"

Shadow's ears pircked at her last question. he walked around the couch and stood right infront for her.

"You were being chased by the GUN forces, and fainted so I brought you here, to my house. How did you know I'm Shadow" he said in his cold voice.

"I-i just h-heard then s-say you n-name when t-they chased m-me. an-"

Shadow put his finger to her mouth.

"One, no leaving the house without me, two, no woundering around the house, three, no going into the boarded halls, and four, no touching the guns. Are we clear?" all she could do is nod

"do you have a name or do I just call you girl?"

"Kylee, m-my name is Kylee..."

"come" Shadow grabed her arm and literally dragged Kylee to the spare room. he opened the door and pushed her in.

"You stay here, oh and another thing, I hope you can cook cus I don't eat, so your on your own there, and my room is just down the hall to yours" he pointed to it " if you need anything I will be Ither in there on in the living room. The kichen is downstairs and the bathroom is across from your room, any questions?"

kylee shook her head

"good" and he slamed the door in her face.

Kylee turned around and looked aroung the room, there was an old bed to the left and a window at the far end. To the right was a book shelf. Kylee walked over and took out a random book

The Griffin Chronicles book 54, by Jessica Cole

Kylee put the book back and pulled out the last book on the self,

The Griffin Chronicles book 128, by Jessica Cole

she then pulled out the first book

"Well I guess I have to start somewhere..." she sat down on the bed and started to read.

Shadow sat on the couch flicking throught the channels, as usual there was nothing on. Just as he turned off the TV he heard something at the front door

"Like someone is trying to get in..." Shadow ran downstairs and stood, gun ready, for whoever, or whatever was trying to get in. There was a small click, and the door opened slowly. The door fully opened but there was no one there. Nothing, almost like the door opened itself... someone tapped him on the shoulder. Shadow turned and put the gun to her head.

"eeeekk..." Kylee fainted and she fell on the floor. Shadow saw something move out of the corner of his eye. He looked out the door. His eyes widened and he dropped his gun. A glassy black craft hovered out side, it made no noise, and it was a round triangular shape, and very flat. It was thicker near the center. after staring at it for a bit Shadow started to bend down, slowly towards his gun. He grabbed it and started to shoot it. It started to glow a light blue colour and back away from the house, Shadow walked towards it, still shooting. He was right on his doorstep when it took off. It zig-zagged threw the trees, and then flew upwards, into the night sky.

He backed into the house, not keeping his eyes of the sky, and closed the door. He walked over to Kylee and shook her.

"Wake up" She opened her eyes and slapped him again. He growled and narrowed his eyes.

"...um ya sorry 'bout that..." she said as she got up. "I'll just be going back to my room now..." she stared for the stairs, but Shadow but his hand on her shoulder and turned her to face him.

"Did you see it?"

"See what?..."

"Good" he pushed her out of the way and walked upstairs.

"hay! I'm not here for you to push me around!" Kylee ran upstairs and bumped into him.

"ummmm...Shadow?..."

He just glared at her from over his soulder. He narrowed his eyes again.

"And what are you going to do about it?" he then walked to him room and shut the door.

"He's got issues..." Kylee glared at the door for a bit, and then went to her own room and slamed the door. She slumped down on the bed and stared at the cealing

"If I can get out of here..." she sat up and looked at the window

"hmmm..."

Shadow just sat on his bed with his ears pircked. He heard something outside, like someone moving through the trees. He got up and picked up his mashene gun and walked down stairs. before he left the house he pulled one of the boards off.

"I don't know why, but something tells me I will need this..." he smashed it until he had a perfect sliver, with a very sharp tip. Shadow put it threw his belt, like a sword, then opening the door walked out side and into the rain. Shutting the door he walked over to Kylee's window, and saw it open.

"If she gets shot, It ain't my problem..." Shadow darted into the dark forest.
