When I woke up and left the room, everyone was panicking. "Wha… what's going on?" I asked sleepily. "Sonic… I mean, Shadow's gone!" Tails told me. "What!? I- I…." I said before running out the door to go look for him. After I got to the outskirts of the city, I almost screamed when someone covered my mouth and pulled me into a bush. "You bastard! You're giving me away!" Shadow said. It was him the pulled me in. But, why would he be hiding? Why, and from what? From us? From them? No, he would kill us, not hide from us. "But you're the one who pulled me in here. I didn't even know you were in here. in a bush." I said angrily. What was up with me? I usually didn't act this way to anyone. Maybe, it was because Shadow… "took" Sonic from me… but… it was Sol's fault. Sonic died, because of her. The girl I once had a crush on. Shadow growled in frustration. Then he knocked me to the ground and sat over me. He was… smiling. But then he shook his head and frowned again. "I don't need you!" He said, pointing at me, as though trying to convince himself that. We just sat there, staring at each other, him pointing at me, until he cleared his throat, got up off me, and crossed his arms, back facing me. I got up, and went to tap his shoulder. I had an odd feeling. Like the one I had for Sonic. He mumbled something, then turned around, now facing me. "What is it, hedgehog?" He asked. His tone made me shiver. I hadn't even touched him, but he somehow knew I was going to try. I entirely forgot what I was going to say. I stuttered for a couple seconds, until he turned back around and began to walk off. "I would kill you, but I feel for some reason that I like you." Shadow said, his hand gesturing for me to follow him.
