Okay it has been proven that I NickerNack have a lot of time on my hands this week! So here is the next chapter!

Last time: "Listen I'll help you get food just as long as you leave Rouge alone." whispered Knuckles. Tails smiled at him.

"Oh yeah well that changes everything then."

"So we have a deal?" asked Knuckles

"Oh yes."

"Very well then." Knuckles held out his hand for him to shake Tails grabbed his hand and smiled.

"If you fail she dies." Tails pointed to Rouge Knuckles looked at her and frowned.

"Those people died from something and I want to know what!"

"Well." said Shadow as he put his hands on the handle bars of her wheel chair.

"You're not doing it alone." he said smiling at her, she looked up at him and blushed at his smile.

'Who could have thought that Shadow the Hedgehog had a nice and caring smile.'

Shadow carefully wheeled Nikki out of the cabin and started going down a dirt path away from their camp ground.

"Do you have any idea on what kind of trouble we could get in snooping around like this?" asked Shadow with a concerned look on his face Nikki looked up at him and smiled evilly.

"Yes, but think of all the fun we could have doing this though." Shadow looked at her with a long pause and then smiled.

"Yeah, what am I worried about lets do this thing!" he looked determined Nikki giggled a little at his determination. He started to pick up speed and they went faster down the dirt road Nikki thought it was fun going at almost the same speed that Sonic and Shadow when they run (I said almost because Shadow is going a little slow to make sure Nikki would be okay).

"Hey, where did Sonic and Amy go off too they weren't in the cabin?" Shadow smiled.

"Sonic is going off to take Amy on a date." Nikki looked up at him in shock.

"Wow, I didn't think that Sonic was that kind of guy." she said surprised

"He isn't really; I guess he has new feelings for her now." Shadow's face was softened and he looked very relaxed. Nikki then sat back looking at the scenery around her since it was a nice day out.

Shadow finally got out of the woods and slowed down a little more then the speed they were going.

"Are you hungry Nikki? I can get you something to eat from the main cabin." Shadow said as he stopped by the steps of the cabin.

"Um, a little…" she replied

"Alright hang on then." Shadow walked away from her a little and smiled at her, she smiled back; he lifted up a green emerald in the air and shouted out the same words from last night that would always stay buzzing like crazy in Nikki's head.

"Chaos Control!" in a flash of green light he disappeared into the kitchen of the camp he went in to the fridge and grabbed some left over hotdogs from last night, and put them in the microwave to heat up and brought it out to Nikki.

"Thanks Shadow." she happily at her hotdog and then smiled at her she had a little ketchup and mustard on her face.

"Hang on you got something on your face." he took his finger and wiped of the ketchup and mustard from her face.

"There that's better now." Nikki looked at him and smiled.

"Once again Shadow, thank you." He nodded and then looked over her at something that was behind her.

"Look." he said pointing at a group of paramedics wheeling out body bags Nikki looked at all of them there were 3 small bags and then they wheeled out 2 bigger ones. Nikki could have guessed that it was the new victims from last night.

Shadow looked at the cabin they were wheeling them out of.

"I wouldn't be surprised." he said in a dark voice Nikki looked at him.

"That cabin their wheeling those people out of was burned by rival campers those that stayed in that cabin never made it out alive, camp counselors never repaired it they thought it should stand in the memory of what the cruel things people could do." Nikki looked at the cabin.

"This camp seems to be keeping everything quiet, when I sprained my ankle they never even attempted to call my parents."

"And they cover up a persons death hear and tell the parent it was an accident." she sighed Shadow put a hand on her shoulder.

"Come on once they clear out we'll move in." said Shadow, after the paramedics left Shadow wheeled Nikki quickly over to the cabin. Shadow went behind it where the trees and foliage would provide as cover for them while they looked through the window.

Shadow looked but the window was burnt and couldn't see through.

"We have to break in." he said to Nikki. Shadow grabbed a stone that was on the ground and he threw into the window he made sure that the glass was a cleared out of the window before he climbed through it.

When Shadow was through the window he reached out a hand for Nikki, she grabbed it and with great effort Shadow pulled her through the window, when she was partly through Shadow had to put his arms around to pull her all the way through.

Nikki felt her body fall against Shadow's she opened her eyes and saw that they had fallen and that she landed on top of him while he was pulling her through.

"Nikki are you alright?" Shadow sat up with her in his arms.

"Yeah, I'm good." she said trying to get off of him, Shadow picked her up instead.

"See anything in particular?" he asked Nikki, it took awhile for Nikki to get over him holding her bridal style.

"All I see is blood in here." then Nikki looked again there was an open closet; it was open just a crack.

"There." she said pointing to it, Shadow put Nikki down on the floor and walked to the door.

"Shadow be careful okay." Shadow nodded his head to her then took a breath and opened the closet fast. He suddenly threw up on the floor.

"Ugh, that smell is horrible." said Nikki plugging her nose.

"Shadow are you okay? What's in there anyway?" she asked Shadow looked at her.

"It's a roughing body I'd say it's been here for a week or so…" Shadow coughed and threw up again.

Nikki suddenly smelled smoke in the air and then looked around the room her eyes widened, she saw children and 2 counselors but there were more then 3 children with them instead it was 7 they were scared. Nikki looked behind her and saw fire engulfing the window she and Shadow came out of.

Then someone was coming out of the flames of it the person was all in shadow so she couldn't see him, she screamed loud as a hand reached out to her.

Shadow turned around and grabbed her.

"Nikki what's wrong?" Nikki cried a little looking at the window, Shadow looked over too but saw nothing, nothing was there. Nikki looked at Shadow tears going down her very pail cheeks.

"Shadow I have to leave." she said to him quietly Shadow picked up Nikki and climbed out the window with her, and set her back in her wheel chair. Nikki took another look through the broken window and whispered some words.

"Nikki what did you see?" Nikki looked at him and smiled.

"I saw children and the two counselors that were found dead this morning." Shadow looked at her and then said.

"Did they hurt you?" Nikki did not answer.

"Nikki I need to know if they hurt you." Nikki looked at him and said.

"That experience wit ghost has never ever happened to me Shadow." Nikki said in a plain cold voice.

"Alright I think we should go back and let you rest." Shadow started to wheel Nikki out back to the cabin. When they got there Shadow picked up Nikki from her wheel chair and carried her inside and put her in bed, where she fell a sleep.

Knuckles watched them from the outside of the cabin, Knuckles motives were very unclear to Rouge now since he has been acting weird since the night before. But he didn't care how she felt anymore, the dark deeds he committed the night before have already been done.

And now he had to choose a new target for Tails after all it was for a friend wasn't it?

That's all for now hope you enjoyed it!

Please R&R!
