Well anyways, enjoy thr chapter!
Skye kept her head on his chest, holding her breath. She couldn't believe she had just said that. Espio was overjoyed, but hesitated to say anything, he was afraid of saying something stupid and giving her the idea that he doesn't like her.
Guess he doesn't like me.. Skye thought, she slowly looked back up at him.
"Skye.." He trailed off, still in disbelief of what she had said.
"Espio.. just tell me one thing." She said, looking up at him. He looked down at her, letting her continue.
"Do you feel the same way?" She asked, looking him in the eye.
Skye closed her eyes, waiting for an answer. But instead, Espio said nothing, she was about to open her eyes when she felt something warm against her lips. She opened her eyes and realized what was going on.
He was kissing her!
Her eyes were wide at first but slowly closed as she began to relax and kiss back, the feeling of their warm lips brushing against anothers was very pleasant for the both of them.
Vector started cheering quietly, Charmy started cheering also.
"Yeah!"
"It's about time you told each other!" Locke yelled as he pumped a fist in the air.
"Wait to go Espy!" Vector cheered along side, giving a thumbs up.
Skye and Espio both stopped dead, removing their lips from each others, they both looked over at the cheering trio, blushing with extreme embarrassment.
Once the three noticed this, they walked up to the couple.
"So I guess this means you guys are dating now." Vector said with a big grin as he patted Espio on the shoulder.
"Never thought you'd get a girlfriend before me." He said proudly.
"Espio has a girlfriend! Espio has a girlfriend!" Charmy mocked as he flew in circles around the group.
"It's fine with me, just don't act all girlfriend and boyfriend around me." Locke said with a disgusted face, shivering at the thought.
Espio and Skye just continued to blush, but Espio turned invisible to hide it, he then reappeared behind a tree from a farther distance, Skye looked at him. He looked over at her and then winked, Skye smirked.
"Hey you guys, can I be alone for a little bit?" She asked, trying to sound innocent.
"Okay." Vector said with a nod.
The three boys then started to trudge back to their original spot by the fire which had burned out by now until Vector re-lit it.
Skye waited until they were all looking away, then at the right time, she ran to where Espio was. She was almost seen by Charmy but luckily she hopped up into a very high tree before he actually seen her. Skye then did a flip off of the tree and landed, running up to Espio.
"Nice one." He complimented as she approached him.
"Thanks.." She blushed, trailing off.
The two decided to just rest and talk. Espio sat up against the tree trunk while Skye had lye down with her head on his lap. After around an hour, they were both very surprised that no one has found them, or had even come looking for them.
"You think they're all right?" Skye asked, getting a little worried.
"They are probably fine, don't worry." Espio reassured her, Skye just nodded shrugging it off. Skye then propped herself up and beside him, leaning against him and putting her head on his shoulder, he wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes.
"Espio.." Skye was blushing yet again.
"Everything's perfect." He said, eyes still closed.
Skye then grabbed one of his gloved hands, holding it in hers.
"Yes, it is." She agreed as she closed her eyes, relaxing even more.
Skye was struggling to stay awake, lately she had not been getting much sleep, she was just about to doze off when she felt a electrical zap go through her body.
"Ah!" She yelped as she sprung onto her feet.
Espio grunted, slowly getting up to his feet, apparently he had felt it too.
"What was that?" He asked.
"I don't know." Skye admitted, she was starting to think that she got one of those shocks.. but they usually just pumped her up, instead of hurting her.
"I think it came from you." Espio said, checking Skye for any injuries before checking himself.
"Huh?" Skye cocked her head in confusion.
"You lit up." He replied, not truly knowing what exactly he saw.
"What color?" Skye asked.
"It looked like black with a hint of blue going around the edges. Kind of like Locke does when he flies." He said.
Skye said nothing, she just sank down to the ground, hugging her legs that where pulled up to her chest tightly.
"What's happening to me?" She asked no one in particular, she closed her eyes and rested her head on her knees. She bit her tongue as hard as she could to prevent tears.
"You'll be alright." Espio whispered as he sat down next to her, hugging her in an attempt to comfort her. He had no idea what was going on, but it was no use to ask questions now.
"I guess you're right, I am probably just overreacting but..I get this feeling that I am going to be hurt sometime soon.. or that someone I know will.." She said, sadness filled her voice.
"Don't worry. I won't let any harm come to you or anyone we care about." He said reassuringly and sounding confident. Truth was, he was a tad bit worried, but he wouldn't admit it aloud.
"You're so sweet." Skye said, her smile coming back as she lightly punched his shoulder.
He chuckled slightly and picked her up bridal style, walking over to a area with a soft patch of grass. He set her down and then sat down beside her, she yawned.
"Tired?" He asked with a smirk.
Skye just nodded her head.
"A little."
"Get some sleep." He ordered.
"But what about the others.." She trailed off.
"I think they are doing just fine." He said as he pointed over to the trio that were a far distance away, the fire was out and the three were sleeping. Vector was leaning against a tree trunk with Charmy on the ground nearby, above them Locke was sleeping on a tree branch.
Espio was about to say something else but turned and notice that Skye was already fast asleep, he smiled. He couldn't help it, she was just so darn cute. He sat down next to her, he propped his hands on the ground behind him and looked up at the sky, he wasn't that tired anyways.
Soon though, he was beginning to become tired. His eyes slowly closed themselves, he was just about to drift asleep when he heard a loud scream. His eyes quickly snapped open and who looked over at Skye, she seemed to still be asleep but she was fussing about and screaming and scratching.
"Skye!" He grabbed her hand, trying to come her down but it wasn't working.
It was as if she was having a bad dream, but it seemed much worse. Then, he heard another loud scream but this time it was more masculin, it sounded like Locke.
Before he knew it Vector and Charmy were already right behind him, looking alarmed.
"What's going on?" Espio asked, trying to stay calm.
"I don't know, all of a sudden we woke up from a loud scream and then Locke screamed and fell out of the tree, he's freaking out in his sleep man." Vector said very quickly, obviously not calm and wanted to know what was going on.
"Go watch him, I will be right there." Espio ordered.
Vector and Charmy nodded and quickly scrambled back to where Locke was. Meanwhile, Espio looked over at Skye, she was still fussing about. He sighed, walking over to her.
He attempted to wrap his arms around her waist to pick her up but she lashed out at him with her hand, he quickly dodged it however. He then decided it would be easier to just grab her hands first, so she couldn't attack.
He waited for the right moment, however, before it got there she stopped. She stopped perfectly still, her arms resting on her stomach, Espio quickly checked her pulse, it was still there, but it has seemed to slow down a bit.
"Skye, wake up." He said as he shaked her body lightly.
Meanwhile..
"Where am I?" Skye asked herself as she took a look at her surroundings, all she could see was that she was in a fairly large, black room. The walls had some neon purple lines on it but that was it, there wasn't any doors or windows. Her arms, legs, and back were throbbing although she didn't know why.
The only light was a medium sized green ball they hovered in the middle of the room, the glow of the ball wasn't powerful enough to light up the whole room, causing all four corners to be completely dark.
"What.." She walked up to the hovering ball, she was just about to touch it when she heard a thud from behind her.
"Ow.." The figure said as they rubbed their head. Skye knew that voice.
"Locke!"
"Skye!" He exclaimed, running up to her.
"Where are we?" He asked, looking at his surroundings.
Skye bit her lip, neither of them knew where they were, and they were trapped in a dark room with no windows or doors, the only sign of light being a big creepy hovering ball in the middle of the room.
"I don't know.."
