Hanging Around

"Amy!" Sammy quietly shouted as Shadow got off her bed as she walked to face her sister, unsure about how to handle the situation.

"Oh No! She knows that I'm dating Shadow. This is bad, This is very,very, bad. What will become of all of this...What will happen between me and Shadow?" She was worried that her sister would tell people about them. News reporters and cops would make it hard for them to be together. She looked over to him as he looked very nervous about this. She turned back to Amy.

"Amy...I..I can-"

"So when you told me you were dating someone, You were dating "The Shadow Walker?"

"Well..I-" Sammy's shyness was making it hard for her to explain. She noticed Shadow walk in front of her, He defended her from her sister.

"Look Amy, It is true that Sammy and I are...dating, We started the day when you hurted her, almost killing her. I love her with all of my heart. I don't care who you tell or what you do…" He gently took Sammy and held her in his arms.

"I will never leave the woman I love." Sammy blushed mildly as he held her. Feeling so loved by him was the best. Shadow's eyes showed anger towards Amy, He would do anything to protect her. But Amy did something that surprised them both.

She smiled to them. Not showing anger, just happiness on her face.

"I'm happy for you sis. I'm not mad. I'm glad that you have someone who really loves you the way he does."

"You're….You're not upset?" Sammy asked shyly as Shadow placed her down.

"Of course I'm not, I know that I was….a Bitch to you Sammy. But ever since your boyfriend here scared me months ago, I wanted to change for the better, for reals this time. Not anything trick you. I'm very sorry that I tried to kill you Sammy. And I promise to keep your secret."

"You really mean that sis?" Sammy ask as she faced her sister. Amy gave her a big hug.

"Of course I do. You're my sister and I love you." She looked over to Shadow.

"And I'm sorry If I ever did anything to upset you Shadow Walker."

"That's alright Amy, I apologize for scaring you that night. I just really care about your sister's safety."

"I understand, what I did to my sister was cruel and completely evil. I wish to not be that girl any longer." She ended her hug with Sammy, She was crying as Amy gently wiped them for her. She walked over and then gave a hug to Shadow. He looked down to her as she continued to apologize.

"I understand if you wouldn't forgive me. I just wish the best for you two."

"That's alright, really. As long as you can be the stronger person than the "Amy" you're were originally, Then I forgive you Amy."

"Thanks for understanding, both of you." Amy pulled out of the hug so she could give Sammy and Shadow a group hug. The hug was long, Sammy was in the middle of the hug. She looked over to her sister and her boyfriend as they were around her in the tight embrace. They ended the hug as Sammy looked over to her sister.

"I love you Amy."

"Me too sis, Oh! We should take a group picture together. Let me get my camera real quick." She said as she took off. Leaving the two alone together.

"I love you too Shadow." Shadow lowered himself as he kissed her on the lips.

"I love you Sammy." He picked her up in his arms. Sammy made a small squeak as he did so. He giggled as he loved how cute she sounded when she picked her up.

"When you were telling Amy about us, you said that you would never leave me, not matter what?"

"Of course I meant that Sammy. You're the kindest, sweetest, and cutest person I have ever met. How could I ever leave you?"

"But what if people found out about our love? They would try to hunt you, they would probably keep us apart or use me to get to you or-" He interrupted her as he kissed her softly. He stopped kissing her lips as he looked at her.

"None of that matters. If that ever happened, I would never let anyone tear us apart. No matter what they do to me. If they hurt you, Then I'll make them regret that." She looked at his chest and began rubbing the area his heart was at. This made him purr loudly. She loved hearing his purring.

"No matter how hard things maybe, or how tough an enemy you may face, Nothing is stronger than your heart Shadow." She told him as she looked up at her lover. Shadow looked into her beautiful teal eyes. The two of them kissed as Sammy wrapped her arms around his neck. He smiled as she did so.

(Beep Beep)

Shadow heard something beep nearby, But he didn't care about that, All he wanted to do was enjoy his kiss with Sammy. The two of them shared their long kiss as Amy came back with her camera. Shadow quickly placed her back on her feet as she returned.

"Okay I got my camera. I can see that you two are ready for yours." Sammy blushed as Amy knew that they were making out while she left.

"Sammy get in the middle, Shadow stand on the right of her." Amy placed her camera on a stand as she made it to go off in 10 seconds. She quickly got to the left side of her sister.

"Okay, on the count of three say cheese. 1...2...3!"

"CHEESE!" The three of them shouted as the picture was taken.

(Elsewhere at a gun store.)

The owner of the store was dusting off one of his hunting guns he has on the wall under the hunting guns area.

(Ding Ding)

The owner heard a bell. It was the bell he set for his front door to tell him that a customer was there. The man walked over to the front counter to meet the person waiting to order. But as he got there, He saw that the customer wasn't a normal customer. He wasn't even human.

He saw a dark figure with blue glowing eyes and razor sharp teeth as he was attacked.

The 9 escaped prisoners Dark M Jr broke out earlier were outside the store under his orders. They were wearing normal clothes rather than the orange suits they were when captured. They, with the help of their boss Jr, managed to steal two vans filled with new clothes being shipped to the mall. Jr happily killed the people in the vans of course.

They all looked over to see the gun store owner, (who was mauled) flying through the glass front door. This was Jr's signal to his gang that they could enter now.

They entered the store to see and Jr pointed over at the walls full of guns and with bloody on his face and claws.

"Alright boys! Take any gun you want. And make sure you don't forget your ammo." He said with his neck chain "M" glowing slowly. The gang acted like children during Christmas as they took as many guns they could get their hands on. Some of them grabbed heavy guns, some grabbed one or two smaller guns. Jr. stood there watching his gang getting their guns. The hooked hand goon noticed that as he walked over to speak with their new boss.

"You're not gonna get anything boss?" Jr. kept an evil grin on his face as he responded to him.

"I have no need for these pathetic human guns."

"So you're not going to shoot the Shadow Walker?"

"Hell Yeah I'm gonna shoot him a few times. That's why I carry this beauty with me." Jr whipped out a custom made shotgun from his coat.

"What kind of shotgun is that?"

"It's not a human shotgun. I made this myself using some energy my mother gave me. Energy used to belong to my father before he passed on."

"Does it do any good?" Jr glared at him.

"Of course it's no good, I just LOVE carrying around a gun that shoots blanks...Of course it's good you idiot!"

"Sorry. Not need to shout it in my ear." Jr rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Even to this day, you're species idiotic minds still amazes me. I used this to shoot at the bus to help you escape. One shot of this will cause major damage to the Shadow Walker. Hell a few more shots to the same area in his body would kill him."

"So you're gonna shot him til he's dead?"

"No. I waited many years to get to this moment, The moment I can kill the Shadow Walker in his prime. My plan is to kill him slowly...Make him suffer...Make him wish he were dead. And If he begs me to put him out of his misery, Then I will kill him and enjoy his last moment on this planet."

"How are you gonna make him suffer? He probably doesn't even have anyone we could threaten him with." The hooked man walked away to get a weapon to use. Leaving Jr with his thoughts.

"Oh but he does. Just one last person he cares dearly for…"

(Back at Sammy's house.)

Sammy had invited her friends Jasmine, Zoey, Mike, Shawn, and Dawn her to house to hang out. They watched a scary movie on T.V. called "Friday the 13th". Sammy didn't like scary movies too much. But since Shadow was with her she was alright.

They sat down and watched the movie, A murder scene was going on at the moment. They all (Except for Shadow and Shawn.) were scared as Sammy grabbed Shadow's chest and covered her eyes into him. Shadow giggled a bit and held her closer to him. Trying to make her feel more safe.

"Is the part over?" Sammy asked in a frightened voice. Her face still covered in his chest.

"It's over Sammy." Mike told her as she peeked her head back out.

"I don't get how you two can watch this." Jasmine looked at Shawn and Shadow.

"Well, doing what I normally do involves a lot of violence and blood so I'm used to this." Shadow responded.

"I can handle a killer slashing a few people. But if a zombie was doing it, That's where I freak out." Shawn said loudly as he covered his head, fearing that zombies would eat his brains.

"Guys look something's going on the T.V." Zoey pointed as They all watched it.

"Breaking news. A standoff between the local cops and 9 escaped criminals if being held at a unfinished building site. Police have confirmed that these men are armed and dangerous as they have murdered 8 people in the last few hours, including 4 cops as they escaped."

Shadow hissed as he crawled out of the room off the couch and left upstairs to Sammy's room, getting his cape and helmet back on. Sammy noticed him and followed.

As she got back up to her room. She saw Shadow put his helmet back on as he was about to hop out her window.

"Be safe alright?" She said worriedly. Shadow turned to see her.

"I will, hopefully I can get this done quickly. I'll be back as soon as possible." He said as he leaped outside and onto the streets. He turned off the camo on his car and got inside as he drove away to stop the standoff.

Sammy watched from her window as he took off. She closed her window and returned downstairs to her friends.
