Fabian's Pov

"Fabian?"

I stared down at Emily as she gaped then before I had the chance to ask her what she was even doing here, she rushed at me. Her arms wrapping around me as she sobbed into my shoulder.

"Oh god I'm so glad to see you!" She cried as she held on to me, I was at a loss for words. I wasn't sure whether to let her continue or to push her away and demand answers.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I'm so stupid! How could I trust him! Please Fabian I have to get home before my parents realize I'm gone and- Oh my God, Please don't tell them Fabian! Please!" She begged as she pulled away from me tears still streaming down her face, I stared at her as one hand casually rested on my hip. I was on duty at the moment and was required to keep everyone who was at the club tonight, G.U.N had gotten a tip that a local drug dealer was going to make a drop tonight but it already seemed like he had fled.

"Please, Fabian. My parents are going to kill me when they find out. I snuck out of the house when I was grounded, Bane tricked me into coming with him and-" She babbled senselessly then I heard the name…Bane.

" Bane is the person you were avoiding on the bus." I said although more stated, Emily looked at me then turned her head as she stared at the ground and softly whispered "Yes." I sighed shaking my head at her. A cold wind cut through the alley as I stood there trying to figure out what to do. Disobey direct orders or help Emily. My head said to obey but I felt something else telling me to help her. I stared at her for a minute longer then sighed already knowing my decision.

" I suppose you mean if your parents found out. I'll help you this time, Emily but don't expect it to happen all the time or that I'll always be there to save you-" I said as she nodded then quickly ran up to me again as she threw her arms around me again, instantly I stiffened against her.

"Could you stop that." I snapped at her as she frowned then pulled away from me and just stared up into my face.

"What? Hugging you?" She questioned as if this 'hugging' was something everyone liked.

"Yes." Her frown increased as she stared at me, pure confusion was across her face.

"Are you kidding me? You don't like being hugged? Everyone likes getting hugs-" She said shaking her head as I scoffed at her, She could be so naieve.

"Well I suppose that would be because I didn't have the same upbringing as you Emily Rose. I suggest we leave before anyone notices that I'm gone." I snapped again as she stared at me with just utter bewilderment in her eyes. Was it so hard a concept for her to understand? I shook my head then lightly grabbed her elbow pulling her closer to me as I began to close my eyes.

"W-What are you doing?" Emily asked as I heard a tremor in her voice, I couldn't help the smirk that came across my face.

"Just trust me and don't let go." I said opening my eyes to look into her nervous face, she nodded as I closed my eyes again to focus when her arm shifted to where her hand was tightly clutching mine. I stiffened a bit then felt a soothing calm wash over me as Emily tightly held on to me.

"Chaos Control!" I shouted as my eyes flashed open and a moment later Emily and I were in her dark bedroom. She sighed then her fingers unclenched mine as she walked across the room over to the nightstand beside her bed. She turned on her lamp, causing the light to illuminate her bright emerald eyes.

"Thank you. So much, Fabian. I owe you one." She whispered as she walked over to me, I rolled my eyes while crossing my arms.

"What are you doing tomorrow, Fabian? I could buy you lunch. Where ever you want. Could you pick me up at say…eleven…eleven -thirty?" She said with a tilt of her head, I sighed shaking my head but when I looked at her emerald eyes this sudden urge to say yes came back to me. I didn't want her to be upset.

"I…I suppose that would be suitable. Eleven-thirty it is." I agreed then turned my back to her as I began to concentrate to use Chaos Control. Suddenly Emily's arms wrapped around me from behind, her thin arms wrapping around my waist.

"I know you don't like when I hug you, but you're going to have to learn to get used to it." She whispered as to not disturb her parents. I didn't say anything as I waited for her to release me, luckily it was only a moment later.

"Goodnight, Emily." I said glancing behind me as she smiled.

"Goodnight, Fabian. Sweet dreams." She said then walked back over to her bed, I stood there just a moment more. I had never heard those words before in one sentence. Goodnight, sweet dreams. No one had ever spoken those words to me. It made me feel…warm…and that there was some kind of lightness inside of me, like a sense that things will work out for the best… I liked it. Without another word I disappeared in a flash of light and wound up back in the alley but this time I wasn't alone.

"Hey! You! Stripes! Have ya seen a girl hedgehog about yea, height? She's blue and has killer green eyes." The green hedgehog said with a gloved hand on his hip. I felt a low snarl come up to my throat, it was him. He was the one I saw fighting near Emily. And my guess was he was Bane. The one who kept bugging Emily on the bus. Instantly before I had a chance to calm myself I thrust my hands forward sending the green hedgehog into the alley wall.

"Heh, I see you've met her. She's a nice girl, but there's something about me that makes them good girls go bad." He snickered as he peeled himself off the wall. I snarled at the thought of Emily ever becoming anything like him. I raced forward ready to knock him into eternity when I felt a hand grab my shoulder.

"That's enough. I've got him." Shadow. Ah, my lovely father. As if Bane wasn't enough, my father had to come along. Bane smirked crossing his arms as he looked at the two of then in the blink of an eye he rushed past me in a blur. I was stunned momentarily, how could a skumbag like Bane have such speed? I quickly turned around to give chase when my father grabbed my shoulder again.

"Its too late. He's gone. At least I know what I'm up against." He growled as I turned back to him with disgust.

"What you're up against? You mean me? This is my mission. I would have had him if you hadn't interfered!" I snapped at him as his eyes narrowed. Oh great here we go.

"If I hadn't interfered then he'd be in the morge now! You're lucky I don't suspend you, now." He retorted back as I huffed, at least if he suspended me then I could go out with Emily…er I mean go to lunch with her. That sounded so odd, even though I hadn't said it out loud just thinking it felt…nice. It was then I realized that being around her, thinking about her calmed me, that this feeling would bubble up within me…happiness.

"See if I care. There are plenty of other agencies I can work for." I said then began to head out of the alley and back to the G.U.N headquarters. I needed to think. I needed to sort these new…feelings. I wasn't completely sure of myself. I couldn't do my best work if I wasn't in sync, mind and body. But there was one thing I was sure…Emily Rose had made a change in me…but was it for the best?
