Past Secrets

Chapter 22 - The Promise

Amy's POV

"What!" Shouted Silver.

We all looked around and it was so weird; Shadow and that guy that looks like him were gone. Just gone. How? I asked myself.

As we stood in complete amazement, suddenly I felt my cheek began to get cold. I quickly felt my cheek from the spot the coldness was coming from and to my surprise there was water on it. I quickly looked up to see if it was raining but it was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. As I tried to figure it out; everyone else was trying to find Shadow and that guy.

"What happened? One second we were clearly staring at them going to the front door and the next their just gone! How is that possible? Shadow can't stop time can he?" Asked Knuckles.

"No of course not. He can only do that with a chaos emerald and I already have his right he…." Silver went into his front pocket and stop talking once he began to feel around.

I looked at him as he started searching in a panic.

"Silver did you lose something?" I asked him.

Silver was spinning around checking the ground but finding nothing. He then looked at Tails and said.

"Tails; I don't have Shadow's emerald."

Tails ran up to Silver and shouted.

"What!"

Tails began to search with him.

"Oh man…. Shadow's going to kill me!" Shouted Silver.

"Shadow has a emerald?" Asked Sonic in shock.

"Yeah." Quickly replied Silver.

"How?" Asked Sonic.

"His best friend gave it to him…ahhh her name was….Maria!" Shouted Silver.

"And you lost it?" Asked Sonic.

"It was in my front pocket a second ago then when those two vanished it was gone." Replied Silver.

"Maybe that other hedgehog has one." Said Tails.

"Could he?" Asked Silver in a frighten tone.

"We all saw what else he had." Said Tails.

"Yeah; He had all those guns." Said Sonic.

"Why?" I asked.

"Who knows. Maybe Shadow was buying one." Said Sonic.

"Theirs no way my shadow would buy a gun!" I shouted.

"What else could it be then Amy?" Asked Sonic in a annoyed tone.

"I don't know." I replied.

On the inside; I kind of like the idea of Shadow owning a gun. It was actually a turn on, now that I think about it.

"Who was he?" Asked Tails.

"I don't know; but he looks just like Shadow." Said Silver.

"Could that have been his brother?" Wondered Tails.

"No he can't be. Shadow never told us he had a brother." Said Silver.

I began searching my pockets because for the strangest thing, I felt like something was in there that wasn't a second ago.

"We'll never know if we just sit her and talk about it. We need to find Shadow and that other guy and ask them ourselves!" Shouted Sonic.

Silver nodded at Sonic and then Tails and Knuckles did the same. I pulled out this white piece of folded paper that was in my pocket and then Sonic took my arm.

"Come on Amy, lets go find them." Said Sonic while trying to take me towards the car.

"No!" I Shouted.

Everyone stopped and looked at me.

"What do you mean no!" yelled Sonic.

"I mean no!" I yelled back.

"Why?" Asked Knuckles.

I looked at the paper that was in my hands and began to unfold it while everyone watched in silence. Except Silver who was still afraid Shadow would kill him if he found out he lost his emerald. I began to read the note out loud.

"Hey Amy. Sorry I had to do this but we had to stop time in order to make sure you guys wouldn't follow us. Trust me; we knew you guys were there, its not hard to see Silver's spikes over the bush. Also I know Silver's probably looking for my emerald and tell him not to worry because when we stopped time I came and took it from him. Listen Amy I need to go and handle something, I will be gone for a day or two. When I get back I'll explain to everyone what I have been hiding, and I'll have a little surprise for everyone. I'll call you when I'm done with everything and we'll meet up to talk. Amy; I love you and I promise I will be back. Please don't worry about me. I gave you a small kiss goodbye; I hope you don't mind. Ohh and by the way I had to leave in a rush so tell Tails to get that spider off his back before it bits him. Love Shadow."

After I was done reading the note Tails began to freak out. Silver and Knuckles tried to keep him calm but Tails kept running around screaming.

"Hold still Tails!" Yelled Silver.

"Get it off! Get it off!" Screamed Tails.

Silver then used his psycho kinesis to stop Tails from running. The spider was big. It was slowly crawling up his back and it was just about to bit his neck; when Knuckles swung and smash the spider with one of his glove spikes causing it to die on impact. After it was dead, Silver let Tails go and Tails began to check himself for anymore.

"Better?" Asked Silver.

Tails ran up and hugged Knuckles.

"Thank you so much Knuckles!" Shouted Tails in joy.

"Woooo… haha ok… no problem buddy it what friends do." Said Knuckles while trying to shake Tails off him.

"Ohh, so my effort doesn't count for shit I see." Said Silver in frustration.

Tails let go of Knuckles and went to grab Silver but Silver picked him up with his psycho kinesis.

"Hell no! You had your chance and I don't want to be squeezed to death." Said Silver while tossing Tails through the air as if it was fun.

"Hey put me down!" Shouted Tails.

"Ok." Said Silver while dropping tails.

"Wooooo!" Shouted Tails as he hit his face straight on the ground.

Silver walked up to him and helped him up.

"Next time be more careful with what you say." Said Silver.

Tails smiled and jumped Silver with the hug he dissevered.

"AHHHH! Damn it! Let go of me!" Shouted Silver.

"Hahah!" Everyone, even Sonic began to laugh at him.

Tails finally let go about ten seconds later and Silver had to catch a breath.

"Ahhhh….Ahhhh….Ahhh.." Silver could barely breath.

"Sorry Silver." Said Tails.

Silver wrapped his arm around him and said.

"It's ok Tails." We're best buds.

Tails Smiled and then everyone looked back at me.

"So where do you think Shadows going?" Asked Sonic.

"I have no clue, but we'll find out when he comes home." I said while walking back towards the car.

"Where are you going?" Asked Sonic.

"School." I replied.

"Don't you want to go find him?" Asked Sonic.

"Not anymore. Shadow will be ok, and I trust him." I replied.

"But…" Sonic tried to say something but I cut him off.

"He'll be home and when he gets back he promised he'd tell us what's going on. We have no need to worry. If I can trust Shadow, so can you guys." I said.

Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails Looked at me and smiled then began walking to the car. Silver still tried to find the emerald.

"Silver!" I shouted.

Silver looked at me.

"Shadow has he emerald. There's no need to worry anymore. Come on!" I shouted at him.

Silver smiled and shouted back.

"I wasn't looking for the emerald!"

"What were you looking for then!" I shouted back while getting in the car.

"Shadow's balls. He must have lost them to have the will to go into my front pocket as deep as he did to get his emerald back!" Shouted Silver while running to the drivers side of his car.

Everyone laughed at the joke; while Silver started to drive us back to school. In my heart I wish I knew what was going on with my Shad; but I trust him and nothingwill ever break that.
