CH 6

Rouge was sitting around with Shadow, the two were talking about the situation with Sonic. They had heard about the assault and were greatly worried for Astrid.

"You know, he really surprised me.. His charisma and heroic act was truly flawless. Who would've thought Sonic would turn out to be like this.." Rouge murmured.

Shadow huffed. "More of a reason to kill him." He said crossing his arms.

"No, no. Let's not kill him." Rouge said, shrugging him off.

Shadow rolled his eyes. "Whatever. As long as we stay here, Sonic will keep coming back for her, we can't stay here."

Rouge sighed "You're right.. But should we move Astrid around so carelessly? She's in a delicate state right now."

"It's better to relocate than have Sonic being up our asses." Shadow snarked.

The young female nodded. "You're right.. Alright. Let's find Astrid and get outta here."

XXXXXXX

-? P.O.V-

I was walking down the road, my hands in the pocket of my sweater. I've been in Soleanna since I was sixteen. Reason was, I was on a journey of self discovery. I've always felt like the odd one out, always awkward, never taking action. But it all changed when I turned sixteen. I decided I was going to travel the world and discover who I am and become a better person. Someone who will take action, become more confident..

At least that's what I told myself…

A year after coming to Soleanna, rather than building my confidence, I sorta hid. My insecurities getting the best of me.. So I kinda became stuck. I only had one friend here unlike back in Mobius where I had Sonic and his group, although I didn't feel like I belonged with them..

I sighed as I looked off in the distance. This journey sure wasn't going well..

As I looked over to the ocean, my eyes set upon a beautiful sight.. A young woman standing at the pier, admiring the ocean, she had long beautiful midnight blue hair that had silver flecks blowing freely in the wind, her body was so curvy and filled out.. Beautiful plump, kissable lips.. Her eyes were red and purple with gold specks, though.. There was pain and agony clear in them.. I hadn't realized I was slowly approaching her until I clumsily tripped over the stairs leading to the pier.

The woman looked at me in surprise.

"Are you alright?" She asked as she helped me up.

I nodded as I blushed heavily. Way to make an impression dipshit..

"My name's Astrid, what's yours?" She asked.

I hadn't realized I was captivated in her eyes until she cleared her throat while looking awkwardly. I looked away as I felt my face blush harder.

"My name's S-Silver.." I muttered like an idiot.

Astrid smiled at me. "It's nice to meet you." She said happily.

I tried to give her a smile, but my face just felt numb. I felt a little intimidated by her presence.. She was just so beautiful, and.. Well.. I'm nothing special.

"It's nice to meet you too.. Um.. Are you new in town? I don't think I've seen you around?"

She smiled a little. "Kind of, I'm just here on um.. Vacation." She said as she twirled a finger around her beautiful hair.

I noticed a little hesitation in her voice, but I left it alone. It's none of my business. Before I could speak, an arm wrapped around her shoulder, I looked over and noticed it was Scourge.

"Sup." He greeted.

"Hey." I greeted back.

Scourge and I became friends when we both started out our lives here. He was really down in the dumps at the time and I offered him my hand, even though we were two different, I couldn't leave him in the rut. In turn, he helped me become more open minded, and assertive. Oddly enough, we have an unbreakable bond..

"I see you met Astrid. She's pretty chill y'know." He told me.

I smiled brightly. Hopefully I don't fuck this up. "So how long have you known each other?" I asked.

Astrid and Scourge looked at each other awkwardly. "Um.. We go pretty far back.." She said embarrassingly.

I nodded slowly. There must be some sort of past between them..

-Scourge's P.O.V-

I kept my arm wrapped around Astrid. I recognized that look Silver had, I had the same look when I ran into her for the very first time. If he thought he was going to have her before, or during mating season. He's dead wrong. I will win Astrid's heart before him.

Silver looked at us both. "Um. So are you two a.. Thing? I noticed his arm is around you.." He asked.

Astrid's eyes widened as she blushed cutely. However, she pushed me away making me fall on my ass. Thanks toots.

"Nononononono! We're just friends!" She sputtered.

Silver glanced at me and signaled a low growl. Ahh so that's how it is.. He's challenging me. I responded with a low growl as well.

We were officially fighting over Astrid.

As we were having a conversation, Rouge and Shadow came by, they looked like they were searching for us.

"Astrid! Thank goodness, you're alright. We need to leave." Rouge said.

Silver and my eyes widened. She's leaving now? Why? Was it because of that blue dick head?

"Why? What happened?"

Shadow crossed his arms. "It isn't safe here. Not with Sonic knowing our location now. We need to disappear so we can stay out of his radar." he explained

Astrid nodded. "Alright.."

She looked at the both of us, clearly she didn't want to leave, but she had no choice. "I'll see you." She said as the three of them left.

"What's going on?" Silver asked.

I sighed as I ran a hand through my fur. I explained what happened between Astrid and Sonic and why they're trying to stay out of Sonic's vision. He looked pissed off.

"We have to protect her! Clearly he's dangerous." He exclaimed.

I nodded. "We do. But Rouge and Shadow are with her, and they'll sooner kill themselves than let Sonic have her." I said. A little dark yeah, but it's the truth.

Silver nodded. "Alright. If you say so."

We soon went our separate ways.. Astrid has nothing to worry about. Shadow and Rouge have her back.

Or so I thought..
