Chapter Fourteen
Amy awoke in a painful crumpled position on the floor of what, in her dazed state, looked like a cell of some kind. She slowly slid her hands back to help herself up, but an incredible pain shot through her body. She slipped back down hissing in pain, she then remembered what happened and her eyes widened in fear. She raised her hand to her shoulder and pulled it away. A grimace appeared on her face when she saw the fresh blood on her gloves. Her blood. Amy looked around the cage again; she couldn't remember what happened, but it must have been bad to hurt her like this. She couldn't tear her eyes away from the fresh blood that tainted her fingers. Amy tried to remember what had happened to her; all she could vividly remember was Shadow leaving her alone and that she went to wait at his flat for him. She shook her head to try and get rid of the rapidly forming headache. Shadow hadn't returned, unless... Amy shook her head again viciously. There was no way Shadow had done this to her, not even if he had been angry at her for being in his flat. Amy stood, walked up to the bars to try and get an idea of where she was. Various machines scattered the area just outside her cell and various noises were coming from the computers across from her. Amy stared at the computer; something seemed familiar about it, but Amy couldn't place her finger on where she recollected it from. Amy sighed, her only hope was that Shadow would come and get her. Hell, she'd even be pleased if Sonic saved her.

Shadow wasn't convinced by what the man in his old flat had told him. He'd said north; but Shadow hadn't seen or heard anything for miles. Shadow wasn't even sure if the guy knew which was north or south, but anything would be better than trying a drugged man's directions than seeing Amy injured, or worse, dead. He wasn't running at his usual speed; he wanted to see everything just incase he saw a clue to his Amy's whereabouts. He knew that once he found where she was; he'd show her captor no mercy. No-one hurt what was his. Ever! He rolled his eyes at himself; now was not the time to go all sentimental. Shadow knew Sonic wouldn't be far behind him; for some unknown reason Shadow knew what the blue faker was up to, Shadow always dismissed it as the faker's simple way of thinking. Shadow's keen eyes spotted a beaten pathway through the trees on his right. A devilish smirk crossed his face; the path was definitely made by a robot, the stench of oil was everywhere. Shadow looked at some of the foliage; looking for signs of Amy. A red leaf caught his gaze and anger shot through his veins. Shadow grabbed the offending leaf in his fist and glared at it. It was definitely blood, but was it Amy's? Shadow growled and ran off down the path his fist still holding the leaf in a lethal grip, death gleaming in his ruby eyes.

Sonic looked at the tall concrete buildings, Tails hovering beside him. Sonic had his eyes trained on one building in particular. Shadow's block of flats. Sonic only knew which one it was because Amy had once told him and now he was glad. Maybe she was there? Sonic looked at Tails then nodded and sped off into Westopolis. Once in front of the building, Sonic took a deep breath in, opened the door and started to walk up the endless identical staircases. Tails followed close to his best friend, he'd never been to Shadow's flat before and he felt safer when he was as close to the blue hedgehog as he could get. Sonic stopped in the corridor that Shadow's room was on; the entire place smelt funny to the hedgehog. He stepped closer towards Shadow's flat, his eyes widened when he saw a human hand thrown across the threshold of the flat. Sonic gulped, and then looked at Tails.
"Buddy" Sonic's voice sounded nervous and the little fox caught onto it.
"What's wrong Sonic?"
"I want you to stay here"
"Why?" Tails queried and Sonic gave the fox a 'don't argue with me' look. Tails looked towards where Sonic had been looking. The small boy's eyes widened when his eyes saw the hand. His gaze lifted to Sonic's, seeing the protective look in his eyes Tails nodded and turned back to walk out of the building. Sonic watched his best friend go with relief before he turned back towards the doorway. Sonic sighed and carried on walking; as he got closer the smell got worse. As he faced the room from the corridor, his mouth opened and a small sound escaped. Sonic looked over the man's seared flesh in disgust. His eyes scanned the floor and walls. The place was a dump and the needles made a shiver go down the cobalt hedgehog's spine. He looked for any clues that could lead him to Amy's and now Shadow's whereabouts. His eyes saw a blanket in the corner of the room move and he went towards it; he reached out a gloved hand and pulled the blanket away revealing an obviously scared businessman. Sonic knelt down to get to eye level with the man.
"NO! GET AWAY!" The man shouted at the hero. Sonic raised an eyebrow
"What's up?" Sonic said calmly, not wanting to upset the man any further. The man looked up from his hiding position and blinked at the blue hedgehog; he put his hand behind his head and laughed suddenly
"Sorry I thought you were that black thing"
"What black thing?" Sonic asked seriously
"Well, all I really remember is him looking for a pink creature; then he killed my friend" He said lifting his finger towards the seared corpse. Sonic frowned; Shadow had gone too far by killing an innocent human. Sonic stood and rushed out of the flat. He needed to get to Shadow before he killed anyone else.

Shadow ran through the forest, still following the path the machine had created. He still had the leaf crushed in his fist, not willing to let go of the offending object. His mind was racing with what happened to Amy and where she was. Along the path Shadow had stopped many times, just incase he missed her if she was in the gutter by the fresh path. He was getting more irate by the second, and that was never good; he needed some kind of half way point, some kind of sign that he was going the right way. Shadow stopped, let the leaf fall from his hands and then lifted his head to the sky. Did someone up there not want him to be happy? A single tear ran down his cheek; why did everything he loved die or get hurt? Shadow growled up to the sky. More tears streaked down his cheeks as he stood looking at the sky. Shadow sighed and carried on, viciously wiping away his tears. He needed to find Amy and fast.
Further on down the path Shadow stopped again, the path divided into two. Shadow looked up each road and slowly walked to the mouth of the left path. He scanned the floor for any traps before he did the same for the right. There was only one difference; but Shadow wasn't sure if it was because of how the path was made. He paced for a few minutes, thinking of which path he was going to take. Shadow decided to test the left path because of the difference. He picked up a log and threw it near the mouth and instantly spikes shot out from the trees and splintered the log into nothing but toothpicks. Shadow rolled his eyes and ran down the right path, keeping his eyes alert for any more traps. As he came to a clearing a smirk crossed his face; a huge building with Eggman's face plastered over it stood tall and proud in front of him. Shadow walked to the huge doors and a deadly grin appeared on his face
"Let's play" He growled to the inanimate metal doors "Chaos Spear!"
