Chapter Four

Warning: Mentioning of Needles used for drugs.

Needless to say the next day, one very grumpy Amy Rose left her house with the picture she broke the night before. Walking towards Westopolis she took the time to bring the nightmare to her recent memory. That Nightmare had scared her. Scared her to the extent of having to get her old nightlight out. Not that she would dare tell anyone that. Walking into the suburbs of Westopolis she looked up at the endless skyscrapers. She could feel eyes on her and it sent shivers down her spine. She started walking at a quicker pace to settle her nerves. Having a wall of fifty foot high buildings around you would be enough to send a normal person running, but not Amy Rose. She was determined to not show too much fear, no matter how long the feeling of being watched was over her. She shivered involuntarily but carried on to the framing shop.

Above the street of milling people. In room 134, Shadow watched as the pink hedgehog rushed from the walls of the darkest places in Westopolis, trying to get to the 'town' centre. A thought passed his mind to follow her, to see what she was up too, but Shadow the Hedgehog was not a stalker. He sighed and looked away. Last night he had a peaceful nights sleep. No nightmares of Maria's final moments, no Sonic. Nothing. This unnerved the hedgehog. He was used to the grim nightmares that plagued him. He looked back down at Amy. The other hedgehog was weaving her way in and out of people with ease but Shadow knew better. She was tired. The way she moved was similar to how he was when he dreamt of... his crimson eyes widened.

"No" he whispered. "Not with her" He growled, took one last look at Amy's position and left the window sill. He rushed to his bag, minding all the needles and crap on the floor. He reached in and pulled out the red chaos emerald. He looked at it for a few seconds before he closed his eyes He envisioned himself in front of Amy.

"Chaos Control!"

Amy was just walking out of the framing shop with a slip that requested her to go back at Threethat afternoonwhen she looked up to be faced with a pair of crimson eyes. She jumped back and put her hand on her heart. She looked at him.

"Shadow" she greeted and tried to walk past him, Shadow stepped in front of her

"You look tired" he mentioned. Amy frowned, but only because someone noticed.

"I am" she replied "Very tired. I had uh..." She stopped and looked up at Shadow. "Never mind" She continued to try and get past him.

"You had what?" He persisted. Amy's frown turned into a scowl.

"If you must know I had a bad dream last night" She said pushing past him. Shadow looked after her.

"Amy" he called. She turned and looked at him in surprise. He walked up to her and took her arm in his hand "I need to know what you dreamt"

"Why?" She asked keeping eye contact with him, he glared at her.

"Chaos Control" he said quietly and he and Amy were transported to Shadow's flat. Amy looked around and wrinkled her nose.

"You live here?" She asked in distaste. She looked at the floor and saw needles scattered everywhere. "Are they..."

"I did not bring you here to survey my living space" He snapped. Amy looked at him in surprise

"Sorry" She apologised. Shadow grunted.

"Tell me what you dreamt" He repeated. Amy put her head down. Would he want to know that I dreamt of him. Of Maria and his last moments of their friendship? She thought. Shadow was looking at her expectantly "It's important" he added. Amy sighed, walked to the window and looked out.

"I dreamt of you Shadow. You and Maria" She said sadly, "I was in her body Shadow. I saw what she did for you. It was very heroic..."

"You know nothing" Shadow hissed. "How dare you steal my dreams. How dare you and your friends remind me of my promise" Amy was taken aback "You had no right seeing my memories. My feelings"

"Shadow..." She started but the sullen hedgehog shot her a look which made her shut up.

"You saw my best friend die" Shadow glared harder at her. Amy took this opportunity to walk up to him and put her finger to his lips.

"I didn't ask to see it Shadow. It just happened. I'm sorry if you think I stole your memories. I had no intention of doing so. You're my friend Shadow" She reached her arms around him and hugged him. Shadow froze. He didn't know what to do. He was being hugged more tenderly by her, not like when she mistook him for Sonic, A huge blush crept over his cheeks. He pushed Amy back and hid his face from her. "You're always welcome at my house Shadow the Hedgehog" she smiled and turned to leave, not before giving the still embarrassed hedgehog a kiss on the cheek as she left.

Thanks for reading . Chapter Five coming soon (sorry it's very short, butI wanted to leave Shadow in an awkward rut)
