Chapter 2- Shadow got a sister? And a crush?
Shadow returned to his hill after a while. He needed to think. Why was he so nervous around Midnight now? Was it because he hasn't seen her in a year? Or because he... no that's impossible... he doesn't have a crush on Midnight... right?
"I must be crazy..." He mumbled.
"Yeah you probably are." a mysterious voice said.
Shadow jumped up and looked around. His eyes trailed over the entire area.
"Show yourself!" He cried.
"If you're looking for a fight, you got one!" the voice replied in a challenging tone.
"Well come on! I'm ready to fight you!" Shadow said his fists raised.
Suddenly he saw a pink hedgehog waving at him. "Hiii!" she said.
Shadow looked at her with confusion. The hedgehog ran up to Shadow quickly and stood in front of him smiling. Shadow fell backwards in surprise.
"Hi Shadow!" she said smiling.
"W-who are you?" Shadow shouted. "Wait what am I saying?"
Shadow jumped up and stood in a fighting stance. "C'mon then! Let's go!"
"Go? Go where?"
Shadow stared with disbelief. "B-But I thought... what's going on? Who are you! Ho do you know me?" he cried.
"Oh... you don't know me...?" her eyes suddenly became teary. "Oh Shadow you've forgotten who I am!" she fell to her knees and "cried in her hands."
Shadow hesitated, but then touched her shoulder. "I'm uh... sorry... but... I don't know you..." he said slowly.
"Oh that's alright!" she said jumping up. "My name's Haze! I'm your long lost sister! Nice to re-meet you!"
Haze shook Shadow's hand. Shadow seemed very confused. He tilted his head to the side and said: "Since when have I had a sister?"
Haze giggled. "Since forever! You just went missing after a while! But that's okay! We can just stick together from now on." she said with her trade-mark smile.
Shadow grinned nervously. "Uh... okay?"
Haze brushed off her jeans and looked around. "You live here?"
"Yes, but only just recently." Shadow said with a nod.
"It's pretty!" she said looking around."Hey.. who are they?"
"Who?" Shadow asked.
"That fox and that red guy." Haze said pointing.
Shadow gasped and hid behind Haze. "Did she see me? I hope she didn't see me..."
"Who? Where? What's going on? Shad, who are you talking about?" Haze asked.
"That fox. Her name's Midnight and she used to be my apprentice and I don't know why but I feel akward around her..." Shadow explained quickly.
"Oh you're just shy. Yoohoo! Up here!" Haze sang waving.
Midnight looked up and saw Haze waving at her. She felt her muscles get tight but she resisted the urge to attack. Instead she waved back.
"Hey there!" Midnight said with a smile. "Knuckles look, there's another new person in town. Let's go say hi."
"Uh... sure. Why not." Knuckles walked along side Midnight as they went up the hill.
"Hi! I'm Haze! You must be Midnight." Haze said holding out her hand.
"That's me." Midnight replied cooly while shakinking her hand. "How'd you know?"
"My brother told me about you. I'm sure you know him." Haze beamed.
"Really who's you're brother?" asked Knuckles.
"Uh... H-his name's ... um... Shadow..." Haze replied shyly. She felt herself blushing.
"You're Shadow's sister?" Knuckles asked skeptically.
Haze nodded. "He's right..." she turned around and saw that Shadow wasn't there. "HEY! SHADOW!" Haze crossed her arms and frowned angrily.
Midnight grinned and then walked away. "See ya around."
Meanwhile...
Shadow finally stopped running when he reached his house. He leaned up against the door and sighed. He sank to the ground and closed his eyes.
"I can't believe I just ran like that..." he groaned.
"Me either. You've changed Shadow." a voice said softly.
Shadow opened his eyes to see Midnight sitting on her knees in front of him. A smile was on her face. He smiled back nervously.
"We didn't finish our training." she said a litttle shyly.
"Uh... then we should get started." he said hesitantly.
"Um... yeah..." she replied after a pause.
Midnight looked away slightly. Shadow laughed nervously as he stood up. Midnight stood as well and rubbed her arm. Shadow smiled and then walked around her. She followed a few steps behind.
As they walked, Midnight grinned mischeviously. She began think of ways to fufill the mission that she was programmed to do. One way or another she would find a way to kill them all. An evil laughter echoed in her mind. It was the laughter she would use when her mission was complete.
