" OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" Shadow yelled furiously at Rouge, who again just shook her head, and entered her lounge where she sat on her sofa, seemingly disappointed in herself. Shadow sighed, and reached into his pocket for Tails' Chaos Emerald. To his anger and surprise, he found it was not there.

" Sorry, I took your Emerald too. I had to make sure you would not escape with Chaos Blast," a small voice whispered from the lounge. Shadow moaned loudly. He walked into the lounge, sat on the sofa and pulled out his mobile. Shadow had run out of ideas about escaping from the mansion, but he had not run out of ideas for rescuing Amy. He started to ring Sonic's number…

Amy groaned. She had been tied to a chair in one of Eggman's rooms. Amy tried to break free of the ropes, but it was no use. She was stuck. ' At least the chair is soft," She thought sadly. When Eggman tied her to the chair, he left with the words:

" Tell me the location of the eighth Emerald or you will be eliminated!"

Amy sighed. She was not planning to tell him where the Emerald was, and she was not planning on dying. Amy was planning on having Shadow rescue her, but she doubted he was bothered about her. She was sure he was having a lovely time with Rouge.

" DAMN HIM!" Shadow cursed loudly. He had rung Sonic both on his mobile, and on his landline many times with no reply. Shadow turned to Rouge.

" Please let me out Rouge, please. I will do anything; I need to rescue Amy. You don't understand, I lo- lo- love her," Shadow begged. He felt disgusted with himself for having to say that to the white bat, but he felt he was left with no choice. Shadow had to rescue Amy at all costs. Rouge brightened slightly at the ebony hedgehog's plea.

" Can I have a kiss? One small kiss and I'll let you go and rescue your precious girlfriend," Rouge requested, a cheeky grin playing on her face. Shadow looked horrified at what Rouge asked. There was no way he was going to kiss the batgirl. Shadow turned away revolted, folding his arms. He was not going that low. He would hate to kiss Rouge anyway, but he would feel like he was betraying Amy.

Shadow took out his mobile again. He had one last number he could try, Tails. He knew Tails hated Amy at the moment, but maybe he would still help. Tails was not the type of person who would want to see people get hurt. Shadow started to dial the number…

Amy's wrists and ankles started to sting. The ropes were pressing hard on her, and it was hurting. She tried wriggling out of them again, but with no success. Instead Amy tried screaming for help, but it was no use. There was no one for miles from Eggman's base that could possibly hear her. Amy gave up trying to escape and changed her thoughts to other people that could possibly save her. She liked to think that Shadow was on the way to rescue her, but Amy knew it was unlikely.

Tails beamed at his new plane, the Tornado Zed. He had been working on it for over six months, and it was finally ready. All that was needed now was his Chaos Emerald to power it up, and then he could take it for a test run. Tails walked over to the drawer he always kept it in and opened it. To his horror the drawer was empty. He frantically pulled out the rest of his drawers, but the Emerald was not in any of those either.

The two tailed fox thought for a moment. Who could have stolen his Emerald, and when? He had hardly left his workshop when he was working on the Tornado Zed apart from when he visited Sonic and went to the supermarket, so how could someone have got in. Then suddenly he remembered, the day he went out to see Sonic and came back to find his workshop in ruins. Amy was at the scene, and admitted to breaking in. She refused to give a reason though, and now Tails knew what it was. Amy stole his Chaos Emerald.

" I am gonna kill her!" Tails cried as he stormed from his newly refurbished workshop and headed for the train station, just as his phone started to ring…

" PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE!" Shadow yelled as he rung Tails' number. All he got was ringing; no one was picking up. Finally, Shadow hung up. He could tell no one was going to answer. Shadow threw his mobile at the wall in frustration, and watched angrily as it fell to the floor in pieces.

" You could always kiss me, my offer is still standing," Rouge cried from the other end of the sofa. Shadow stared at her with his flaming eyes, and shook his head slowly. He was not going to resort to that.

The ebony hedgehog marched from the lounge and into the hallway, where he found Rouge's telephone and phone book. Shadow was angry with himself for the lack of telephone contacts he had, but he knew Rouge had many. He hurriedly flicked through the pages, scanning the numbers for someone who would be of use to saving Amy, but most where useless. Suddenly Shadow spotted a useful number, Knuckles. A small smile spread on the black hedgehog's face as he picked up the receiver. Knuckles was super strong, and always willing to help.

Shadow held the receiver to his ear, and to his dismay heard nothing. No dialling tone, nothing. He dropped the receiver and turned around. Rouge was standing by the cable, a pair of sharp scissors in her hand.

" I cut the wire Shad," she explained. Shadow stared at him, a look of pure anger in his already bright eyes that pierced Rouge making her shiver. The look was of absolute evil and determination, a look that was not to mess with.

" Let me out bitch," Shadow growled, walking slowly up to the bat who started to back away frightened, " let me save Amy, or god help you."

Rouge continued to back away, her head shaking. She had never seen Shadow this mad before, and she was terrified of what he was capable of. But still, she was not allowed to let him out of the mansion.

" Sorry Shadow, I can't," Rouge whispered softly.

Shadow stopped walking, and collapsed to the floor. He was getting no where. He needed to think of a plan that would let him escape, and save the hedgehog he loved. Then the idea came to him. Shadow did not like it, but he felt he had no other choice.

He got up off the floor, and sprinted towards the unsuspecting bat, making a high pitched scream escape her lips. Shadow had her cornered. Rouge's breathing quickened, her heart pounding. Shadow was so close to her, and she had no way of escaping him. He could do anything to her, kill her. Rouge would not put that past him, he was so angry, and a man driven by anger was capable of doing anything.

Rouge closed her eyes as Shadow's hands reached out towards her, and prayed she would survive. However, to her surprise, his hands moved to her waist and his lips drew dangerously close to hers.

" I owe you a kiss," Shadow whispered softly as his hands held her close to him, and his lips leaned in…
