Chapter 6

The black hedgehog arrived home an instant later, only to find Kylee quietly working on the broken door. He just stood there and waited for her to finish. Kylee picked up the door and started to walk over to put it back, she saw Shadow standing there, and she dropped it. Shadow used his super speed to catch the door. He then put it back and waited for her to put in the screws. She just looked at him.

"Come on just put the screws in! I'm not going to stand here all day!" she nodded.

After the door was done Kylee walked upstairs to her bed room and locked her door from the inside.

Shadow slumped down on the couch and stared at the blank TV. At about 11:00 PM he got up and when to Kylee's room. He nocked on her door.

"Kylee? I hope your listening. I'm going out for a bit, so just stay put, ok?"

"...Fine..."

Shadow left for another night in the town.

Shadow walked down the street in his cape. He didn't feel like going after someone tonight it just didn't seem right after what he did to Kylee. He looked up at the stars.

"So many..." He thought about the alien encounter earlier today. He walked until he reached the towns end. Thats when he saw them, sonic and his little goody-goody friends. He wanted to hide but Rouge saw himand ran over giving him a big hug, he just sighed.

"Its been so long Shadow!" When the hug broke, Sonic and the rest of them were already over there with him, Tails, Knukles, Amy, Cream, Rouge and of corse, Sonic.

Tails had on black pants with a black vest, Knukles wore blue jeans with no shirt, Sonic was the same. Amy had on a longer red skirt about to her knees and a matching red t-shirt. Cream wore a white kimono with flowers on it. Rouge had on black dress.

"hay buddy! long time no see! wacha been up to?" said sonic giving him a friendly punch in the shoulder.

"Nothing that concerns you, why are you here anyway? don't you live in New westton?"

"ya we do, but ya see there has been a vampire attack here and seeing as we had nothing to do we came here" so where's your place?"

"I can't tell you, GUN has a base near here and if they find out, I will have to leave, which I really don't feel like doing"

"So its hidden from them?"

"Sonic are you to dumb to figure that out by yourself?"

"Well then its settled! We'll hang with you! Lead the way Shadow"

everyone looked at him, waiting to be lead to his house, but all he did was growl in Sonic's face

"Listen, buddy, I don't like company, I don't want company, so I suggest you find somewhere else to go 'cus your not comin' with me!" Shadow used chaos control and left the group just standing there

"Ok then I guess we have to find a hotel"

Sonic used his speed to run all over town in search of a hotel.

he was back minutes later.

"Well?..." asked Tails

"Nothing, there all filled up, but the last one I went to said there is a big mansion at the edge of the forest, he said we should go there but he also said it was haunted"

"How cute!" said Rouge "We better be going, Its already dark out, who knows what kind of creeps hang out around here at night..." She looked up at the stars.

"Fine with me" said Amy as she clung to Sonic.

"Amy...let go of me, or we will staying here!" Amy imidiatly let go. Sonic walked towards the forest with the others not far behind.

Shadow was walking towards his room when he seen Kylee in the living room, sitting and staring at the black screen. He walked in and sat down beside her. They both sat there until Kylee spoke up

"...so how'd it go..."

"Not well I ran into Sonic and so I couldn't kill any one, he would just find out, sooner or later"

"oh"

Shadow could sence her fear, but he couldn't blame her sitting next to a hungry vampire would be pretty scary.

"Its ok, Kylee, you have nothing to worry about" he said in a soft voice so that he didn't scare her. But it did anyway. His ears drooped and kylee noticed it. She leaned against his shoulder and he put his arm around her. She closed her eyes. It seemed that the whole world disolved and they were the only two left. But the moment was soon broken when shadow heard the door open.

"Kylee, go and hide behind the boarded hallway, find a room to stay in for a bit, ok?" Kylee nodded and ran down the hall and scwezed threw the boards. After Shadow knew she would be safe he grabbed his gun and slipped over to his room and waited behind the door.
