CHAPTER 3
WHERE'S ROUGE
That next morning Rouge just finished throwing up when she came back into the room, Shadow was sitting on the bed waiting for her with a short red dress laying on the bed. "Did you sleep well?"
"If it makes you feel any better then no."
"I hope you're not still upset from yesterday."
"Shadow, I'm not upset, I'm pissed. Freakin' pissed." Rouge walked over to the bed looking at the valuable red dress, "Is this mine?"
Shadow nodded, "Put it on, it's better than that." He looked at her red nightgown.
Rouge agreed with him, "You do have a point."
A couple of minutes passed Shadow walked back in the room blushing, seeing that Rouge fit the dress perfectly. 'She looks even more beautiful than before.'
Rouge turned to Shadow, "I love this dress, Shadow. It's beautiful."
Shadow looked away a bit. He couldn't help, but to blush, "You're welcome."
"But I still don't forgive you."
Somehow he knew that she was going to say that.
Then his transmitter beeped on his desk. He ran to it and answered it, "Darkness here."
"Darkness, I want you to finish that cannon. Time is running short."
"Yes master." Once he turned to face Rouge, he knew she had some questions to ask.
"Was that Dark?"
"Yes."
"What does he mean cannon?"
"That's none of your business. Just stay in here like a good girl.", Shadow left the room locking it from the outside.
Rouge tried to run before he locked it, but was too late. She started to pound the door with her fist, "Open this door! Let me out! Let me out damn it!" Eventually she gave up on the door. She sat down on the bed with anger, "Shadow the Hedgehog, you're such an asshole!"
Later at the Chaotix everyone was suspicious of Rouge's two day disappearance.
"It's been two days, where is she? If she was sick or something, do you think she would have called by now?" Vector worried.
"Yeah I called and she never answered. I think something's wrong with her", Tonya said.
"We should check on her."
When they got to her house they began searching for clues. They searched her room.
On the floor Espio found a shell casing from a handgun. He picked it up and examined it, "It looks like Rouge wasn't expecting company."
Charmy gasped, "Rouge, is she..."
Espio shook his head, "I don't know, Charmy. Let's hope not."
Back at the ice base, Rouge was trying to break out of the room. She tried to break through the window, but as she hit it she fell back on the floor. "Damn, a barrier." She searched around his room looking for something to help her break out. She searched under his bed, "There has got to be something." She then felt something she took it out and looked at it with happiness. "It's Shadow's old communicator." She pressed some buttons on it, "I hope it still works. If it does I can contact Vector."
Back at Rouge's house Vector then heard his communicator come on. He took it out of his belt. He looked at who was calling, "This is weird. The signal's coming from Shadow's communicator." He answered it and the monitor had Rouge shown on it, "Rouge, where are you?"
"Vector, thank god I got through to you. Listen Shadow captured me and I'm being held in the ice base. You have to..."
"What are you doing in here?" A voice called from the background.
Rouge dropped the communicator on the floor panicking, "Oh no it's Shadow. Vector you have to-"
Vector then lost the signal, "Dark. Should've known he was behind this."
"But what does he want with Rouge?" Tonya asked.
"Probably a trap, but we'll be ready." He faced Charmy, "Charmy, warm up the X-jet. We're gonna save Rouge."
Charmy saluted, "Yes, sir!"
Back at the ice base Shadow just finished tying Rouge to the bed, her wrists and ankles. "That ought to keep you out of trouble."
"Too late, Vector will be here in a matter of minutes. You can't do anything about it."
"Who says I can't? That cannon I've been working on should give the Chaotix a warm welcome."
"You are an asshole."
Shadow began to leave the room while laughing. He looked back at Rouge once more, "I can't wait until you become a full demon." He left the room.
