Before I start with the story I have to say that in this chapter there is more Vengeance and Rose parts more than Blackout and Amy, but this is necessarily for you to understand the story, besides more Amy and Blackout goodness in the next chapter. Also there is more to Rose's past then in chapter 13. And well..., you'll soon find out...
Chapter 15: A Party, a Secret and missions.
As the clock ticked by, both Vengeance and Rose continued to train as if there was no tomorrow.
"C'mon Rose, you can do better than this." He said dodging another punch and delivering a kick to her side, setting her back a couple of steps. She snarled at him while desperately trying hard to wipe that stupid smirk off his face. Unfortunately it was the one day of the year that she dreaded, that's right, it was Valentine's Day. Her defences were struggling to maintain intact as memories from her past kept flashing in front of her. Damn it! The one day that she was getting beaten and her defences seem to have betrayed her now! Perfect timing!! She didn't bother blocking the kick that was sent to the side of her head as her physical defences seem to be weakening and thus she was sent to one side of the room. Landing on her side more memories flashed before her eyes. "Rose, are you okay? You seem a little distracted?" his voice seems to have a hint of worry in it. 'If only you knew.' She thought as she picked herself off the ground and turned to face him. She rubbed her face using her right hand before speaking.
"I'm fine." She muttered before leaving the training facility. Vengeance had obviously noticed this strange behaviour as he went after Rose, a puzzled expression plastered on his face. He looked at his watch, 'only a couple of hours left.' He thought as he desperately tried his best to keep up with the pink hedgehog that kept disappearing out of his view. Hearing a door slamming shut he sped to her chamber and knocked on the door.
"Rose? Listen; open up for a sec, I need to talk to you." He said as casually as he could. On the other hand Rose had backed away from the door and sat down on her bed. She had her head in her hands as she began to think. 'I can't let him see me like this,' she looks at her shaking form and took deep breaths. She manages to walk towards her door that is until she felt a familiar stabbing pain. 'No, please not now.' As if on cue the usual numb feeling that she usually felt began to fade and was replaced by the stabbing pain that continuingly kept hurting the dark hole that was once her heart. "Rose, please open the door. Are you okay?" He manages to say without drawing attention from people around him. Before she knew it tears began to form and slid down her face, the pain was unbearable, just like before. Of course, he knew the code that would open her door but of course she didn't know that, and besides he would like to give her a bit of space every now and then. Just when he was about to break or at least attempt to break down her door, she spoke.
"I'm fine; whatever it is that you need to talk to me can wait." With that, Vengeance grumbled slightly to him as he walked off, he looked back at his watch. 'Soon' he thought as he reached his chamber, 'soon I'll be able to tell her.' He got dressed in a perfect tuxedo that he and Blackout had decided on what to wear to this party. The trouble was for them to keep away all the guys from the two single females left in the organization. He could imagine it now, every male all over Rose and Amy, while Blackout and he would try to control their anger on the sidelines, then they would completely lose it and probably break every male's neck who even try and look at either Amy or Rose. There was no use into denying it now; he did have a thing no wait- that doesn't even compare what he felt for Rose. He shook his head slightly; he glanced back at his watch. 5:00pm it read. How long did he take to get dressed? The party starts at 5:30pm and he took, 2 and a half hours just to get ready, god he was worse than Rose getting ready. Walking in the shadows so
that no one would see him he finally reached Blackout's chamber. He knocked once knowing that Blackout would know that it was him. The door opened which revealed a nicely dressed Blackout; Vengeance could tell he was nervous considering that he could practically see his hands shaking. Adjusting his shades a little, Blackout nodded to Vengeance to tell him that he was ready. Walking slowly, the pair made their way to the party that was held in a special room, the room itself was huge but what made it unique was that there were only two exits where the males would enter the room through one exit and the two females would enter at the other exit. They stopped at the exit as they saw that none of the males have gone through yet, this is probably because that the doors would only opened precisely at 5:30pm that way it wouldn't be awkward for the two girls to enter the room. Looking around Blackout saw that he and Vengeance wasn't the only ones who was wearing a tuxedo, many other males were wearing one although he could tell that they were the mature members of the organization. He couldn't help but wonder what Amy and Rose would be wearing...
With Amy and Rose...
Amy knocked on Rose's door for the hundredth time.
"Rose!! You better be ready in there!!" She shouted once again. "The party's going to start in 15 minutes and you better be ready or else!!" another threat left her mouth as she continued to pound on the door. Rose however was already ready; she had been for a while now. She looked at herself in the mirror, her tears had finally stopped and the memories have ceased for now but she was sure that it wouldn't last. She examined herself in the mirror and did a twirl on the spot. She didn't look half bad; she applied a little more make up since the tears had washed away what she had applied the first time. She looked around her room for a moment, throwing pieces of clothing on the bed she found a black headband and a red rose that is both used as hair accessories. Slipping the headband neatly in her hair, she made sure that her fringe still covered her useless eye as she slipped the red rose behind her ear. She took a deep breath before finally opening the door. Amy's mouth dropped open; she couldn't be let out a chuckle.
"Easy now Amy, I expect the guys to do that not you." Amy giggled at that as they start to walk down to their exit. Noticing that the doors were still closed, the pair stood examining each other to see how they looked. All of a sudden Rose chuckled for a while which perked up Amy's curiosity.
"What's so funny?" Amy asked as she raised a brow. Rose continued her chuckling before she spoke.
"It's just that, well, your dressed in blue and I'm dressed in red, kind of ironic that we happen to have opposite personalities." Amy thought about it for a moment before grinning at her.
5:25pm
Rose looked at her watch. "Five minutes left." She said while keeping as cool as usual. However Amy on the other hand was the opposite of cool.
"I can't believe this! Your actually here with me!! Oh if only Starlight was here with us then it would be so much better but still." She squeals as she smiled at her. Rose rubbed the bridge of her nose. 'Mental note: don't ever do this again.'
5:27pm
Vengeance watched as Blackout started to pace back and forth. Once he was bored of that, he gazed around the corridor to see what he was up against, there were some males who were looking as cool as he was, some were trying to make themselves look smart or at least smarter but was doing a poor job of it, and finally there were some who were like Blackout a complete wreck. He eyes flicked back to his watch.
5:29pm
Rose watched as Amy finally lost all hope and was now taking a couple of deep breaths. An evil smirk came across her lips as she thought of something that would finally make her snap.
"One minute left." She said as coolly as she could, and as expected, she snapped.
"Rose, what if he doesn't like me?" she asked her friend as she was beginning to doubt herself. Rose raised an eyebrow, shocked by her question.
"Oh? And if he doesn't like you then who would he like? Me?" she said sarcastically. Surprise covered her face as Amy nodded.
"He might, if he doesn't then-"
"Ah, your right he must like men then." She said sarcastically, smirking at her shocked expression. After feeling that her teasing was enough she went serious as usual. "For god's sake Amy, you know as much as I do that love requires some risks, so what if he doesn't like you big deal, besides it'll be his lost anyway." She said as she tried to cheer up her friend. Amy finally nodded, smiling slightly at what Rose had said.
5:30pm
At that moment the two exits doors finally unlocked, the males walked in quietly one behind the other while Rose and Amy walked in together. Expecting Amy to be there, the males were shocked to see Rose with Amy. Of course they always knew that Rose was cold- hearted about these kinds of things but never did they ever think that Rose would be here. There was silence for a while, as the males took a good look at the two females in front of them. Vengeance had a smirk on his face obviously liking what he was seeing while Blackout had his mouth gawping at the pair just like the rest of the males. Rose and Amy inspected the males in front of them; Rose could've died laughing at their expressions but chose to keep it in. Her eyes landed on Vengeance who was strangely smirking perhaps breaking into a smile, but why? Was it because that she was actually at a party for the first time since she had joined Angels 4 Hell? No, there was something else, there must be, Vengeance never appreciated her except for of course when it came to a sparring match but other than that, well he didn't even look her way for anything else. Amy eyes immediately went to find Blackout, it didn't took long however since all she had to find was some dark shades and there he was, she giggled at his expression. 'He looks like –no he can't be –Sonic, no it can't be, get a grip of yourself Amy! He's gone, he's in your past, and he's not coming back for you. He never has'. Rose was the first to move gaining every males (except Blackout who was still gawping at Amy) attention.
"So," she began as she moved around the room inspecting every corner of the room. "What do you guys do for fun around here?" she said to no one in particular. Unfortunately as soon as she said that nearly all of the males had rushed towards her and started to say some things that they do in a party like this. Vengeance stayed behind chuckling at Rose's shock expression but she quickly covered it up with her usual frown. He knew Rose all too well and knows exactly what would make her tick, after all he had been annoying her for the 3 years that she was in Angels 4 Hell therefore knowing what would capture her attention from the other males. And one thing that he knows about Rose is that she hates crowds especially if she is the one who is attracting the attention in the first place. Amy on the other hand made her way slowly to Blackout she smiled a heart warming smile that seems to have brought him back to reality.
"W-wow..." was all he could say as he earned another giggle from Amy.
"I'm guessing that this earns your approval." She said as she twirled on the spot, giving him a better look at her.
"Believe me; this earns more than my approval." He said eyeing her carefully, slowly gaining his composure. "Want something to eat?" he asked, his hand gesturing the snack table that was to one side of the room. Amy nodded and linked her arm with his as they chattered until they reached the snack table. Vengeance leaned on the wall behind him, his eyes fixed on a particular pink hedgehog that was wearing a red dress. Would it be so bad if he walked up to her, teleport and do god knows what to her? No, that wouldn't do at all that dirty mind of his will get him into trouble one day and besides he still has to tell her what he wanted to tell her when he first saw her. Although he couldn't help but grin at Rose who was trying her best to keep the males away from her but doing a very bad job of it. Growling she had enough of this, muttering something under her breath her belt came into view around her waist which surprised the males that surrounded her. Taking out her favourite shuriken she got into her fighting stance which revealed her thigh but she couldn't care less at the moment.
"Back off." She said slowly, the look of death in her eyes, immediately the males back off but not enough that would satisfy her. She growled, standing up straight while using her free hand to rub the bridge of her nose. Making a couple of hand signals she took a deep breath before running towards the males, noticing that she had the look of death in her eyes, they ran in different directions which pleased Rose to no end. Looking at the shuriken in her hand she began to feel that itch again, she had to throw the star just to satisfy the itch. She looked for a target which was kind of difficult seeing as they kept moving and running around, but then again she loved a moving target, getting out three throwing weapons, two being a shuriken and one being a throwing knife she closed her eyes and threw them. She opened them to find that one of the males was pinned to the wall, eyes wide. She looked at her hands; relieved slightly as the itch had been satisfied for now. Walking calmly to where Blackout and Amy were standing, she noticed that Vengeance was watching her, but she ignored his eyes and joined Blackout and Amy who seemed to be flirting with each other.
"I didn't manage to say this earlier but you look beautiful Amy." He said as he took a stray loose of pink hair and tucked it behind her ear. She giggled and blushed by his remark; somehow he always makes her blush no matter what.
"Well then if I'm beautiful then you have got to be cute." She said as she ran her finger down his cheek, surprised by this motion a faint blush manage to creep on his cheeks before he regained his composure.
"I'm sorry to distract your flirting session but I am incredibly bored and demand for some entertainment." Rose said casually making Amy and Blackout jump slightly.
"Rose!" Amy yelled punching Rose's arm but she was unfazed by it. "Do you mind?!" she was obviously angry by Rose's interruption but once again she wasn't fazed by it.
"Alright then, I'll leave." Hearing that she could hear all the males groan of disappointment.
"No wait! We'll do something fun." She thought for a moment before smiling at Rose, earning confuse expressions from everyone in the room. She then pointed to the microphone on a stage in front of them.
"Oh no you don't! I am not going to sing especially in front of all of you." She said sneering slightly at the rest of the males as if they were some disease.
"Well, you did say that you wanted to do something fun." She said as Rose glared at her. Amy just ignored her gaze and walked confidently to the karaoke box. "Who wants to go first?" she asked to no one in particular. When no one
volunteered she decided to just volunteer herself. "All right then I'll start." She said earning many eager looks from most of the males and earning a surprise look from Blackout. 'I know that she has a beautiful voice but she was always too shy to sing in front of an audience.' She confidently picked out a song and waited for it to start.

Everyone started to clap as the song ended; Blackout was purely shocked by how beautiful Amy's voice was. 'So her voice is just as beautiful as her. Well I suppose that figures.' He thought as she walked slowly towards him. "All right who next?" Amy's eyes fell on Rose who gave her the finger, Vengeance just gave her a glare filled with daggers and well let's just say everyone else was too stunned with Amy's performance to even think of trying to beat it.
"Well, if no one else will go after me then I suppose that we'll play spin the bottle." Rose groaned while the males cheered, Vengeance and Blackout grinned silently to themselves knowing that this would be a perfect opportunity to get the girls. "Since we don't have a closet to work with, I suppose we'll just play a truth or dare
concept with it." Again another groan from Rose why did she have to open her big mouth? Why oh why? "Sit in a circle everyone." She said as she sat on the floor followed by everyone else. Picking up a bottle which happened to be on the floor (what a coincidence!) she spins the bottle which pointed to Rose. Rose could've died right there if it wasn't for the fact that this was just a mere game she closed her eyes and tried to contain herself. "Well Rose looks like you're up first so truth or dare?" Rose opened her eyes.
"Truth of course." She said as she awaited her question.
"How many guys have you made out with?" she asked all of a sudden which caught Rose off guard, all eyes were now on her, including Vengeance's which for some reason made a little uneasy but then again he could make anyone uneasy with those eyes.
"None." Rose said as casually as she could. Vengeance seemed relieved but of course he only let it slip for a second as he continued to keep his guard, everyone else on the other hand was purely shocked. 'Well at least it got some reaction out of them' she thought as she looked on the plus side.
"Seriously?" said one of the cocky males. "Not one?" he tried his best to laugh but he couldn't, Rose watched him for a moment letting him enjoy himself. However no one joined with him knowing that they'll probably meet their end and of course they were right. Rose swiftly took one throwing knife and stabs his right leg, naturally he screams in pain to which Rose smiles.
"If you value your life I suggest you should keep that mouth of yours shut." Vengeance said looking up to meet Rose's eyes. She nodded her head in a silent thanks to which Vengeance grunted as if to say 'you're welcome'. Naturally she looks at her watch, it began to beep all of a sudden, taking out her throwing kinfe from the man's leg earning a whimper from him she stood up and began to walk to the exit.
"Where do you think you're going?" Shouted Amy who was about to walk after her if it wasn't Blackout who putted a hand on her shoulder.
"You forgot Amy, 2 hours are up. Time for me to go." She said without turning back, she waved as she walked off. Vengeance growled and stood up.
"Where are you going?" it was Blackout's turn to ask, Vengeance looked at him.
"To make things right." He said quietly so that only Blackout could hear, obviously confused by what he had just said, he just stood there dumbfounded as he too walked off. Amy grabbed Blackout's hand and practically pulled him after Rose and Vengeance leaving confused looking males behind them.
"Amy? What are you doing? Where are we going?" Blackout asked as he jogged next to her, keeping in pace with her while they were still holding each other hands. Amy looked at him and gave him a heart warming smile.
"We're going after Rose and Vengeance after all, Rose has been acting strange recently and I want to know why." Blackout thought for a moment before speaking.
"Vengeance has been acting strange as well." He frowned.
"Well in that case, all the more reason to find out what's going on right?" She said giving his hand a gentle squeeze and another heart warming smile before running at her full speed after Rose and Vengeance. Amy had changed a lot since he last saw her, she was now more mature and also clearly capable in taking care of herself thanks to Rose's training but also she has changed into a grown woman and a beautiful grown woman at that. 'Not to mention the fact that she has curves in all the right places.' A part of
him thought as his eyes were unconsciously wondering over her body. Clearly liking this reaction from him Amy kept quiet, but she couldn't help but smile to herself. 'And now I have his attention once more, I must remind myself to thank Rose for helping gain my now beautiful body.' Running through the corridors of the organization they finally came to another door which is the final exit from the headquarters of Angels 4 Hell and also where the forest conceals the location of the headquarters. The door being half open confirmed their suspicions that both Rose and Vengeance had gone through this specific door, a jolt of excitement ran through both Amy and Blackout. It was like being on a mission again; they looked at each other and smirked. And so the mission begins.
Mission objective: Observe Vengeance and Rose. Do not be seen!
Nodding to each other they silently agreed to watch each other's back and does whatever it takes to not be seen. The pair knew that the incident in the infirmary was shocking especially since they now know what Rose had been through but they couldn't help but feel that Rose was still holding something back. They also couldn't help but feel the tension between Rose and Vengeance in the infirmary, as if there was something going on between them, they was sure that they weren't in a relationship after all they held a dislike to each other didn't they? Also these past few days, Vengeance wasn't acting like himself, he was becoming slightly shifty and more obvious to his surroundings than usual which caught Blackout's attention. Rose as well was acting funny as Amy had observed her, her expression these past few days had soften and she was slightly gentle when speaking to her and to everyone else which was very, very un-Rose like. Either way they would find out what's going on with Vengeance and Rose tonight. Running through the trees as silently as they could they came to where Rose and Vengeance was, judging by how the conversations going it seems that they arrived at the nick of time.
"Vengeance? What are you doing here?" Rose said trying hard not to let her flashing memories distracting her.
"I could ask you the same thing Rose." He said giving her a gaze that he used when he wanted to focus all attention on her.
"Your actions surprise me Vengeance; it's not like you to avoid my question." She said her eyes closing for a moment before opening them again.
"Have you been crying?" he asked looking at her more carefully than usual. She froze, how had he known that she was crying? She had wiped off all evidence that she was when she had heard him coming.
"Shut up! Stop trying to avoid my question!" She yelled her anger getting the better of her. Vengeance sighed. Amy then saw that he pressed a few buttons on his watch and stared at Rose. A couple of seconds later his appearance had changed, he was still a blue hedgehog but his red headlights had turned to light blue. Blackout and Amy looked at each other knowing who this was.
"Remember me?" he asked rhetorically, his voice changed from his rough tone to a smoother tone before blocking Rose's kick. Jump back a few steps she took five throwing weapons and hurled them at him. Amy continued to watch as he dodged the five throwing weapons easily, he then used his speed to appear behind Rose. Noticing this she planned to punch him but her arm was caught in mid-strike, leaving her venerable. This was the first time that Amy and Blackout had saw Rose and Vengeance fighting therefore they were naturally stunned, the speed and the intensity of the battle was clearly not their level but still it was amazing all the same. Using this venerability as an opportunity to make his move he swiftly got her other hand and pinned her hands behind her back. "Please. I just want to talk to you." He said to her, trying his best to reason with her.
"Like hell you will." She snarled at him before trying her best to wriggle out from his grasp.
"Last chance," he said keeping his grip strong and firmly around her arms. "Either you listen to me now, or I'll force you to," His voice was calm considering that he was controlling the situation but Rose froze. She knew that he knows many techniques which were still unknown to her, when she tried to persuade him to teach her some techniques he had said that it was not the time. 'He could pull anything on me and I wouldn't know if it was one of his techniques.' "What will it be?" he asked her. Of course knowing that Rose was stubborn Amy could tell that she won't back down easy after all this is Rose were talking about. All of a sudden Blackout suddenly lost his balance from his kneeling form and therefore knocking him and Amy to the ground with a thump. Immediately they both froze, had they been caught? Since they were in a panic Blackout started to make bird noises in an attempt to keep Rose and him from coming over and finding them. But of course Rose took this opportunity to break free instead of finding out what the thump was. "Alright then," he said smirking for a moment. "You ask for this." Then for Rose it was all a blur. Amy and Blackout had figured that it was safe to look therefore they kneeled back up but saw that he had gone or so they thought. He appeared out of nowhere which caught Rose off guard; he quickly placed his forehead against hers and before Rose knew it. Everything around her began to fade. Amy saw that Rose's eyes drifted to a close, her body leaning slightly against his. After a couple of minutes Amy began to get worried, the pair had been standing next to each other for a while now and doing nothing else. Just when she was going to get up and grab Rose, Blackout placed a hand on her shoulder making her stop. A few seconds later, Rose gasped, her tears now visible for Amy and Blackout to see.
"You idiot, why did you came?" she sobbed into the crook of his neck. "I was fine without you, why did you come to find me?" she was now pounding his chest with her fists but he was unfazed by it.
"You know why. I just showed you." He took a deep breath "Look Rose, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I didn't-" All of a sudden she pushed herself away from him and using her speed; she sped away to her chamber. 'Vengeance' had now pressed the button on his watch and changed appearance back to what it was before. He sighed before speeding after her. By now Amy and Blackout had emerged from the hiding place and was discussing what they had seen.
"I knew there was something funny about 'Vengeance'" Amy said as she huffed, clearly in anger by what she had heard. Blackout nodded his head to agree with Amy.
"You better find Rose, before she does something stupid." It was Amy's turn to nod, just when she was about to sped off to find her, when all of a sudden their watches started to beep. "Amy? What's going on?" he said, confused by why the watch was beeping since he was still new to the technology that Angels 4 Hell held. All of a sudden Amy's face was filled with worry.
"Something's wrong, we have to get back." She said as she grabbed his hand once again as they sped off inside the building. While they were inside the building they started to try and find Rose and 'Vengeance' to see what's going on but as soon as they reached their chambers their watches started to flash while an image appeared. It was the boss.
"Attention all members!! We have an outbreak in the west end; we haven't got an idea what happening but what we do know is that quarantine will soon activate. We must find out what is happening over there and destroy whatever it is that is absorbing out information from our files! Do whatever it takes to stop whatever is going on over there. That's an order!!" and thus the screen went blank. All of a sudden the windows were now replaced with some strong material that highly looked like an unbreakable material. They both looked at each other, this is where their training will come in handy, and being
together they are sure that they'll be able to stop whatever it is that is causing all the trouble but what about Rose and Danny? Even though she knew that Rose and Danny can clearly take care of themselves she couldn't help but think about what might be out there? Looks like a new mission is unfolding...
Mission objective: Find Rose and Danny
Silence. All was quiet in the corridors, not a sound was heard, they both kept quiet not knowing what might be around the corner. They walked slowly, side by side, only hearing their own footsteps as the only noise that they heard. 'This is becoming strangely familiar' Amy thought as she continued to walk down the corridor as if on cue, all of sudden the lights went out at that precise moment leaving the pair in the dark. Naturally Amy reached for her two handguns but of course since she was wearing a dress, she was unprepared and unarmed. Amy frowned at this knowing what Rose would've said if she as here. 'You should always come prepared Amy, and then you'll be able to plan out when you have kids. Ha-ha!' Even though Rose was cold and serious at most times, she still has a perverted mind like most males. She sighed slightly; she was in the dark, without any weapons and was probably walking into a god forsaking trap for all she knew. Still it had its plus sides; even though she was in the dark at least she was with Blackout that thought made her smile, but still she couldn't help but think about Rose. Rose was like a big sister to her, sure she was cold, serious, and perhaps heartless but she did help Amy to get to where she was now. I mean if she didn't save her that day from committing suicide then she wouldn't have another chance to live her life. Now that she thought about it Rose had helped her get through a lot like when she had a tough time getting over Sonic. 'Sonic', it still felt weird to even say his name knowing that she didn't felt the same way like she did before. She inwardly sighed to herself, now that she thought about it she realised how much time she had wasted chasing after her so-called blue hero. In a way it was funny, he wouldn't let anything happen to the civilians when Eggman would show up but he was able to break her heart. Well, at least she had Blackout, she smiled at that thought. They continued to walk through the never ending corridors of the organization before they heard a noise. By instincts Blackout kept Amy behind him knowing full well that Amy had no weapons on her to defend herself and also considering that she was wearing a dress, it would be a shame if it got ruined. 'Especially since that dress clings to every aspect of her skin' He shook his head slightly trying to keep such impure thought away but to no avail, it seems that being with Vengeance has given him a perverted mind. But he couldn't dwell on that now as the sound began to get closer, just when he was about to pounce on the creature making the noise but he stopped himself. It was one of the males that were at the party, Blackout looked a little closer and noticed that it was the male who was laughing at Rose earlier, well that explains the limping but he couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
"Please... Help me..." was all he said as his hand was reaching Amy and Blackout. Being kind hearted as she was, Amy walked towards the man trying to figure out a way to help him. As Amy walked closer to the man Blackout kept his guard obviously not trusting the man in front of him. When Amy was close to the man, he swung his arm in an attempt to harm her. If this was Amy Rose before Rose's training then she would surely have been hit but of course thanks to nearly 22 hours of training her instincts guided her as she did a back flip to get out of harm's way. "Hehe...hehe..." the male laughed as an evil smirk crept onto his face.
"What the hell?!" Amy yelled obviously fuming about this man's behaviour. Just when Amy was about to charge at the man, Blackout stopped her.
"This isn't the man from the party." He said keeping his eyes on the man in front of him just in case he tries a surprise attack. Amy was confused not understanding what he was saying.
"What do you mean?" she asked mimicking Blackout's stance.
"Take a look at his arm." He stated, her eyes followed his and saw that something was crawling underneath his skin!! Her face immediately scrunched up in disgust, it was hard not to look away considering that she couldn't afford leaving herself open for an attack. Even though she was with Blackout, she couldn't be certain of what this man is capable of, especially since he has that thing underneath his skin. "Whatever happens stay behind me." He said using his serious tone so that Amy wouldn't do anything that she would later regret. Noting his serious tone, she nodded her head but kept her guard up like Rose had taught her.
"Hehe... the female looks... Delightful... strong as well... hehe... she'll be useful to us..." He seem to giggle before swinging his arm in an attempt to punch him, Blackout blocked easily before doing a sweep kick and successfully got him on the ground. While he was on the ground, he kicked his side sending him further away from him and Amy so that there was a distance between them. It was now obvious that he wanted Amy for some reason and there was no way in hell that he was going to let him get her. The man got up quickly still laughing slightly even when he was punched across the face leaving an obvious mark on his once handsome face. Not waiting for him to retaliate Blackout quickly got behind him and swiftly knocked him out, knowing that he would never hear the end of it from Amy if he did kill him. Figuring that it was safe to speak Amy spoke.
"What the hell was that about? Why did he want me?" she asked Blackout with a look of worry on her face. Blackout noticed this and placed an arm around her in an attempt to comfort her.
"Whatever that idiot wants there's no way he's going to get you without getting through to me first." He said confidently with a hint of possessiveness in his voice. Amy couldn't help but blush at his tone and at what he had just said. 'So he does care about me, maybe he even lov- Oh get a grip on yourself Amy! He doesn't like you in that way, he just cares for you in a friend way' she thought keeping her mind clear from confusion. He smiled warmly at her before continuing to walk with her. She couldn't help but let her inner self dance happily when seeing that smile but she also couldn't help but think that something was familiar about that smile.
Well what do you guys think? I'm sorry for the late updates but I'm trying to make each chapter longer than the last that's my goal if you like for each chapter that I write.
