Chapter Four: Glowing in the Dark

Amy scratched her head and grabbed her Piko Piko Hammer. "Didn't Cream follow us?"

Shadow didn't answer.

"Shadow?"

'She's right behind us' the black hedgehog mouthed to her.

Amy frowned. "I'm getting tired of walking. Let's speed up." She pushed a button on the side and it turned into a hover board again. The pink hedgehog jumped on it, stepped her heel on the edge and sped up onwards the road.

After some time, they reached the peaceful village Elita. Everyone there were merry people, people that warmly welcomed tourists and visitors to their little town. Amy came alone, as Shadow had to go check on some mess in one of the experiments.

But something was wrong there was no one there. Amy looked around the little brow tree huts in different shapes and sizes. But something was wrong. The town was dead silent, and most likely, the people had disappeared.

She stared at the tree houses with huge palm leaves as roofs. There were no lights in the windows, nor any people around. Her head slowly moved to the sides as she carefully looked around, the cold wind hitting the branches making a creepy noise. "Hello?"

No answer, just the wind sending chilly blows at her. "Hello?" she yelled again. But this time, something peeked out the window.

"'lo..." a weak voice came from a warmth giving face. "Apologizes for not replying to yeh the first time, lass. I was afraid they came back."

Amy looked at her. She was a green and purple cat, with bandages everywhere and an eye patch over her right eye. "Oh, I'm Amy Rose."

"Uh, Gladys Marilee. But here in town, they used to be callin' me GM." The girl smiled again.

"Who did this?" Amy looked around the once merry place deep in the forest she had been to before.

"Eggman. I thought that Sonic sent 'im back to the place he belongs. But now this be happening... N' lookit' meh!" GM placed her hands on her face.

Amy gave her a pat on the back. "Don't worry GM, I'll fix this." She gave the young cat a thumbs-up. "Why don't you follow me on my journey to Eggman?"

"Really?" The girl's face lit up.

"Yeah, so we can give him a sweet revenge for what he did to you town, neh?" Amy smiled brightly.

"Thanks." GM grinned. "Are you hungry, Ms. Rose? You don't seem to be from here." GM gave a nod to her little clothes.

"Well, uh, kinda." The pink hedgehog sweat dropped.

After a lovely meal with the kind cat, Amy noticed it was getting darker outside. "You have anything that gives of light? It's getting dark."

"I have somethn', but electricity and candle wont be the answer there, 'un." GM grinned.

"Eh?" Amy looked at her as the sun went down behind the snow coated mountains. As the shadows hit GM's fur, it started to glow.

Amy stared at her.

"People looked at meh like a freak... I'm used to it though; don't be afraid to be tellin' the truth."

"Well, it's special, but I don't see why you're looked at as a freak. You're beautiful and your light is gonna help many persons later in your life, Gladys Marielle."

GM's yellow eye sparkled, and she wiped away a tear. "Thanks, Ms. Rose." She placed a bowl of soup in front of the pink hedgehog. "It's Gladys Marilee though, but just call me GM."

Yeah, I know I added a fanchar, but I'll need her for the plot! If I used someone else it'd be awkward. .;; -tries hard to not spill anything-
