Chapter Six
Warning: Drugs again and Death
Shadow walked, his mind in turmoil over why the pink hedgehog was being nice to him. He was beginning to think she was over that blue faker. He frowned, why was she on his mind so much lately? Shadow's only guess was that she was using him to get over the blue hedgehog. Shadow's chest tightened with rage. How dare she. First she steals my dreams then she uses me. He was going to avoid that creature at all costs from now on.

Amy smiled to herself. She was one step closer to getting to know the real Shadow the Hedgehog. She knew he was completely the opposite to Sonic. His colouring, his attitude, his moods and his past were all exactly different from Sonic and he actually sat with her, which is more than Sonic would do. The waiter Ben had asked her a few questions about the hedgehog that was with her. She ignored them, paid -without a tip- and left. She was on her was to the picture framing shop to pick her re-glassed picture. Amy thought about Shadow. He was dark, mysterious and handsome. She sighed. She needed a break. To get out of this place. To get away from Sonic and Shadow. A place to clear her head. She looked up at the sky, the blue was just like Sonic, bright and cheerful, not knowing how much happiness it brings. She thought of the night seeping into the blue. Her mind envisioned Sonic as the blue sky and Shadow as the incoming, unstoppable night. She shook her head of these psychological thoughts. She walked into the framing shop, purse in hand. She walked up to the counter, the clerk looked at her then smiled
"Can I help you?" The woman asked. Amy looked at her. Blonde haired and blue eyed. She smiled in returned
"Yes. I dropped off a picture earlier for it to get re-glassed. I was coming in to collect it" She replied to the clerk, who nodded
"I'll be right back with your picture" She said wandering off into the back room. Amy looked around the white picture infested wall, Portraits, landscapes, pictures of sculptures. One instantly caught her eye, it was a portrait of a group of humans, their hair in unusual positions and unusual colours. That's not just what caught Amy's eye, it was the fact that the colours of the hair corresponded to Shadow, Sonic and herself, even the pink haired one was female. She walked closer to the picture and noticed the black and red haired human holding the pink haired ones hand. She sighed and walked back to the counter as she reached it, the woman came back from the back room with Amy's photo. She put the frame on the counter and let Amy look at the job well done. Amy smiled widely. She passed her finger over the smooth glass.
"How much?" Amy said still stroking the glass
"Eight dollars" She smiled. Amy nodded and dug around in her purse to see if she could pay the woman in change. Her little tongue poked out of the side of her mouth as she concentrated on counting. When she had successfully counted out the money she handed it to the woman who looked at all the change with a little frown.
"Sorry" Amy said noticing the frown, the woman looked up and smiled
"No problem. Have a nice day" She replied. Amy took the picture in her hands and left the shop. She opened her bag and placed the picture inside it. She looked up at the darkening sky and once again thought of the resemblance of Sonic and Shadow. She started walking back to her house, looking up to where she knew Shadow would be watching from his window. Only Shadow wasn't home.

Shadow sat on a cliff some distance from Westopolis. The wind ran through his quills and fur. He wasn't sat in his normal position, his mind kept wandering back to the pink hedgehog. What the hell was she doing to him. He looked over the city. Surveyed all of the tall and small buildings and the humans that looked like ants from where he was. He sighed. Why did he survive the fall from the ARK? and Why couldn't he remember falling. These thoughts were a horrible reminder to Shadow. His memory was just not one of his strong points. He slowly got up took one more look over the city before turning his back. He looked up at the sky, it was getting dark. Shadow warmed up to run. Run back to his flat. The faster the night came in, the faster he ran. As he screeched to a halt in front of his block of flats his mind wandered to the offer Amy had made. "You're always welcome at my house Shadow the Hedgehog" He shook his head violently. Why did she keep invading his mind. He frowned and walked into the blank canvas of a building. He walked up many identical steps before he reached his room. He opened the door and walked in. He scowled at what he found. One very drugged up man sitting with his back up against the brown wallpaper. The man jumped a bit when he entered but did nothing else after that. Shadow growled
"Get out" He stated letting the growl enter his voice. The man visibly shook with fear, even in his drug dazed state he knew when he was being threatened by a more powerful being. The man got up and stumbled up to where Shadow was. Shadow quickly stepped out of the way. He didn't wish to be touched by this filthy thing and just in case he got stabbed my a used needle. He slammed the door after the man had just got out of it. He was angry now. How dare a human defile his 'home'. He looked to his window sill. Nothing was there, he walked to his normal place and sat in his normal position. He shut his eyes. Soon he was asleep and his mind was plagued with the same dream.
-He was running. Running from the G.U.N. He could feel his hand around a delicate wrist, the wrist of his only friend. He ran, trying to get her away from this horrible place. To a safe place. He skidded to a halt. He looked around and saw five or six G.U.N members with their guns aimed at himself and Maria.
"Stop Running" one of them shouted. Shadow scowled.
"You can't stop me. Come Maria" He said starting to run again. He led her into the emergency escape pod rooms and walked up to the control panel. He began typing in launch commands ready to get him and Maria away from this place. This hell. After he had finished the sequence, he walked over to the pod to open the door. He held his hand out to Maria, who reached out for him. At that moment in time the door to the room opened and the six G.U.N members had followed them were there pointing their guns at the pair. He walked to Maria who was watching the G.U.N. He took her arm in his hand again and tried to pull her to the pod urgently. He sighed in relief when she started to turn. He felt two hands on his back and he flew forward into the pod. He heard the pod door close with a hiss. He quickly got up and turned to watch Maria worriedly at the controls. When she turned to look at him, Shadow looked at her, it wasn't Maria, Maria didn't have green eyes.
"Shadow" he heard her say softly
"Maria! No!" he shouted banging on the glass practically begging her to release him. He watched her smile sadly.
"Remember the Promise Shadow. Goodbye, my friend" He watched in horror as she pressed the button to launch the very pod he was in. He looked around the pod in a panic trying to find a way out. "Goodbye Shadow the Hedgehog" He watched as, not Maria, but Amy Rose walked away from the control panel and stood in front of his pod. His shock was evident all over his face. Where was his Maria? Why was Amy in his memory?
"Stop the sequence" one of them yelled. Amy shook her head. Shadow cringed as gunfire filled the room. He saw the bullets cut through her flesh like a hot knife through butter. As Shadow watched her fall, he saw her look at him. 'Amy' he thought before the pod left the ARK and started its decent to Earth-
Shadow opened his eyes. He wasn't one to suddenly scream or get worked up over a bad dream. He was sweating, but that was natural to a nightmare. He vividly remembered Amy being in Maria's place. He frowned. Why the hell was she in his beloved Maria's place. He looked out over the still dark city. Amy Rose will have a lot to answer for tomorrow.
