Shadria POV

I tossed and turned in my sleeping bag. Sleep didn't seem to come to me easily , but that hadn't bothered me. Since I've been on my own I hardly slept, I always had to be on my guard. Even now I still had too , I rolled my eyes. What am I even doing with these idiot girls? This is hopeless, but then again Shadow . He said he'd help me avenge Mario and His grandfather, how he intended to do that was confusing. The cold air bit into my skin as I sat up, I looked around to my surroundings. Everybody was still asleep, I looked over to that blond girl Soni, she was an obstacle to getting the Chaos Emerald , her and Sonic. Sonic had to be the most obnoxious character in the Sonic series , always optimistic and always goofing off. Standing up I felt a burn in my throat, Water. I listened for any sound of a stream or river, although I knew that they had some bottled water I certainly wasn't about to take their food. I heard a soft trickling towards the east, I carefully stepped around everybody. I only stopped for a moment to glance at Shadow, I could've sworn that Shadow never slept shrugging I continued on to the sound of water. A few moments later I came to a clearing that had a small stream, I smirked my instincts never failed me. I crouched down cupping my hands to scoop some water, it slid down my throat relieving the burn. The hairs on my neck stood up, I stood up turning around.

"Who's there?" I snarled holding up my fists, scanning everywhere around me. Shadow smirked as he walked out into the clearing arms crossed. I had a strange feeling, a battle went on in my head. My instincts were telling me to be on my guard , while my mind was telling me to relax. I bit my lip as I put down my hands. Shadow is trying to help you, remember? I thought turning away from him as crouched to get more water , meanwhile something kept telling me Get out! Get away from him or at least try not to be alone with him, he's dangerous. I shook my head splashing water on my face.

"Aren't you supposed to be asleep? " Shadow said walking closer to me. A shiver went down my back , I stood up again wiping my face with my sleeve. I turned to him , his red eyes where studying me, not wanting to look scared I glared back at him . His red eyes reminded me of what Soni had said about my own eyes back at their 'house'.

"I thought you were asleep as well." I remarked back , his eyes never left me. Grrr, there went another chill. What's up with me? I thought again trying not to break eye contact.

"I have no need to sleep. But you're a human therefore humans need sleep. I certainly don't want to hear you bickering about what a horrid night you had." Shadow snapped . Jaw set I quickly replied back , I wasn't about to be mouthed off by the likes of him, even if he is the ultimate life form.

"Oh, don't worry your pretty little head . I hardly ever sleep at night, therefore I'm used to no sleep. I can function perfectly fine, thank you very much!" I said hopping I had caught him off guard. His face was unreadable like usual but I could tell from his eyes that he wasn't expecting me or anybody to talk to him like that. I smirked, then my face dropped. He disappeared in thin air, I spun around looking around me. Maybe that wasn't the best decision. I stopped spinning , I knew he was watching me. Everything inside me was telling me to run, the urge to run was almost over powering how I was able to control it is unknown. Everything was quiet, too quiet. Then a flash of light blinded me for a second, a second was all he needed. I felt a hand clamp on my throat gasping I opened my eyes to see Shadow's red eyes glaring at me. I tried to yank away from him but his grip was too strong. I told you to run when you had the chance! pounded into my head.

" I must say, I'm quite impressed. It takes guts to speak to me that way. Even though we'll be working together Shadria, I will not condone you speaking to me that way." He said dropping me I rubbed my neck and glared at him, he turned and began to walk away stopping only a moment he turned around

"Next time you won't be as fortunate." Fury was all I felt.

"Well there won't be a next time. I don't need your help or those girls. I can do it on my own, I've been on my own for half of my life I've never needed anyone before and I certainly don't now!" I snarled at him , I began walking in the opposite direction of the camp.

"So I expect you have the map to all of the government base and pass codes?" Shadow said. I stopped. Don't turn back, don't turn back . He's just taunting you. Sighing I turned around to him, even in the dark I could still see him smirk.

"And I don't suppose you'll give them to me?" I said crossing my arms. Shadow chuckled darkly as he walked over to me. I was quiet waiting for him to continue, he walked around me studying me like I some freak. I kept eye contact with turning as he did.

"Well I was planning on giving them to you , but for a small price." I knew there had to be a catch or denial .

"What's the price?" I asked carefully choosing my words. His answer sent chills down my whole body.

"You have to do what ever I say."

What ever he said? It sounded wrong, having to do what ever Shadow the Hedgehog told you to do. Don't even think of accepting that offer. You don't know what he'll ask. I turned and looked at the moon wishing that it could give a hint at what I should do.

"If I accepted it, If .What would you have me do? And fro how long?" I asked not taking my eyes off the moon. I heard the crunch of leaves as he walked behind me. My stupid hand began to trembel , I clenched my hand . I felt his breath on my neck, I whirled around to him.

"Well?" I said getting impatient.

"For how long… a month and a half. And as for what… I haven't decided. But I assure you I have morals, It won't be anything that would hurt you. That I can assure you." He said his red eyes were taunting me. NO!!!

" Fine , I accept your deal."


Hi my viewers!! Thanks for all the reviews, I wasn't sure if this story would be good or not. Well as you can see this is done Shadria's POV , I didn't mention her that much in the last chapter I decided to give this chapter to her. And Galexiathechao thank you for that suggestion, if I did put the human Amy it would be a boy since the sonic team are guys and I put them into girls so it would balance out. Thanks again for all the reviews , It's like if you don't get a lot of reviews then you kinda give up on the story. Oh and before I forget THANKS Dunehazard AND James for reviewing too!!
