Summer's P.O.V.
The warm morning sun teased my eyes as I could feel the heat against my face. Squinting slightly, I opened them to see a gorgeous blue sky morning. Smiling to myself, and stretching my arms, I brushed my quills down contently. Opening my eyes, I looked around to realize the hedgehog was gone.
Confused, I stood up and looked around.
"What are you looking for?" Someone asked in a deep tone.
"Huh?" Looking straight up in the large oak tree, was the black and red striped hedgehog sitting casually.
I smiled cocking my head.
"You actually." I replied looking at him curiously.
I noticed the scarf I had bandaged him in was still in place, and he was looking at it with interest.
"You should have left. Why did you come back?" he said looking at me with narrow eyes.
Grabbing hold of the low branch, and hoisting myself up to him, I sat looking at him with significance.
"Because you were hurt, I couldn't just leave you…" I whispered with a small smile.
He looked at me for a moment, before looking away.
I sighed at him and then crossed my legs on the branch.
"You know, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get away." He looked at me as I said this.
"But, its partially my fault as well. You wouldn't have gotten hurt if I weren't so stupid."
"Stupid?" he asked confused.
"Yes, I have been chased and pushed around by those humans, I should have known better than to go back out again."
The hedgehog cocked his head seeming quite interested.
I paused and looked at him shaking my head.
"When I saw you out there fighting those soldiers, I thought you were dead…If I wasn't out again, you would of never gotten hurt…" he looked a bit sad that I was blaming myself but he shook his head.
"Its not your fault. Something wasn't right with those men, they never attack without reasoning first."
"It doesn't matter now." I mumbled leaning against the branch.
He looked at me for a moment before shaking his head with a smirk.
"You know, humans aren't as bad as they seem. At least some aren't."
I smiled brushing my quills again, as he tried to lighten my mood.
"My name is Summer, Summer the hedgehog. What is yours?" he leaned back a bit and looked at me surprised.
"Its Shadow."
I sighed. What a suitable name for such a stunning hedgehog. I thought absentmindedly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shadow asked eyeing my peculiarly. I instantly grimaced turning a bright red.
"I-I don't know what you mean." I said turning my head.
He began chuckling again. Turning to him slightly, I eyed his wounds again.
"Now what?" he said almost annoyed.
"Whats with the tone mister?" I couldn't help but start laughing as he made a distraught face.
"Its nothing. I am just concerned about the gash."
He looked at me for a second before his arm and chest, but then he crossed his arms.
"I think I'm fine." He said defensively.
Crossing my own arms, I shook my head.
"I beg to differ, its impossible for someone to under go an injury like that and just heal over one night!"
He began laughing shaking his head.
"I'm afraid not Summer." Slowly, he began removing the bandages. Leaning over confused, I then realized there were no cuts gashes nor scars!
"Oh my gosh!" I screamed in alarm.
Losing balance from the sudden insight, I began to tip backwards off the branch.
"Hang on-Wah!" Missing my arm and balance himself, Shadow was sent falling to the ground with me as well.
Both of us opening our eyes, I realized I was on top of him! For a second we were locked in each others eyes, until I began to feel humiliated.
"Whoops." I said giving a smile.
He blinked still as surprised as I was, but I simply flipped myself over and stood up. I looked away trying to hide my smile and blush at the same time.
"Err, how's your head?" Shadow asked scratching the back of his quills.
I looked over slightly and then smiled.
"I'm alright, no harm done." He walked over and looked at me.
Oh darn, those gorgeous eyes. He was much taller than me, which made me feel even more coy.
"Your…your not from Mobious are you?" I asked as he looked down at me curiously.
He nodded not saying anything. I smiled feeling a little relieved, knowing I wasn't the only one here.
"Where are you going to go now Shadow?" I whispered as he smiled gently at me.
"I still have business I have to take care of." My ears slanted down as I realized he was leaving.
"Shadow, thank you for helping me. Maybe sometime we will meet again." He made a disappointed glance back but nodded.
"Like wise." I smiled backing away, still giggling from earlier.
Soon enough he was gone just as fast as he came.
"Crazy morning…" I said shaking my head.
