(You might be wondering about the concert ticket thing Maria was talking about. Well, while Shadow was going out with Breeze, creepy I know, he had bought two concert tickets for himself and Maria. But then he needed an excuse for talking privately to Maria so he lied and said that Maria had bought him and Breeze some concert tickets. To make up for that he bought Maria a miniship A.K.A. car. But in the end he told Maria the tickets were rightfully hers. A few days later he and Breeze broke up. I know, long explanation but I thought you might need some background knowledge.)
Maria's POV
"Why am I running? Where am I running to? Will I ever get there?"
I felt so naive.
Like a lost little girl in the super market.
"What's going on?"
I was completely oblivious to all the people running and screaming.
My whole world was crashing down around me.
I didn't have time for everyone else's world.
"I'm running away from Shadow. I'm running to the first place I see that feels safe. I'll probably never find that place. It's the apocalypse."
I answered my questions.
Then I wished I hadn't asked them.
"Maria!"
I turned and saw a cage.
It held Sonic, Amy, Jwan, Tails, Cream, Tikal, Knux, Rouge, and Haley.
"Sonic!"
I yelled.
The cage was moving.
It was being carried by two of Shadow's henchmen.
There was a long line of Shadow's followers.
It was like a parade.
Shadow was at the very end of that parade.
"I'm gonna knock some sense into that little head of his one day."
I turned my attention back to Sonic.
"I'll come back!"
I shouted.
I turned back around and started to run again.
This time I knew where I was going.
(I know this was a really short chapter but I thought that this would be a good place to end it.)
