Can He Be Trusted?
-To Rouge-
Rouge was coming home from getting groceries. She was going to make spaghetti tonight for dinner she knew Shadow liked her spaghetti. She wants to make a special meal for him, tonight see how it was their anniversary today. They had been married for 16 years tonight.
Rouge walked by their doorman who said a weird kid went up to their apartment looking for Shadow. She thought this was strange but she went up anyway. As she came out of the elevator she got out her key to open the door. Then she heard a squishy sound. She looked down and saw red all over the ground. Someone was bleeding A LOT.
Oh my god
She looked down the hall and saw a hedgehog with a giant sword strapped to his back on the ground, blood all around him. She ran up to him and saw he had bat wings as well. are his parents different species from each other? She had to get him to a hospital right away she picked up his head when he pops up. She shrieks in fright. He opens his eyes and looks into her's, crimson with flecks of blue-her blue-in them, and hands her something. He pulls himself up to her ear and whispers, "Get this to Shadow" and falls back over, unconscious. Rouge looks in her hand and sees the grey Chaos Emerald.
What was this kid doing with a Chaos Emerald and wasn't this the same one that was stolen by one of Eggman's creations a few days ago. How did this kid get it? No time for that first she had to stop the bleeding. She helped him into the apartment and lied him down on the couch to get some bandages. She found some in the bathroom along with some hydrogen peroxide. She poured the hydrogen peroxide on the wounds. He was slowly slipping away.
"Stay with honey. What's your name?" she said trying to keep him awake so he wouldn't go back to sleep and ultimately die.
"Uhhh, Dusk" said the hedgebat.
"OK Dusk I need you to stay awake for me if you go to sleep you will die"
"Ok." Dusk gasped.
All of a sudden she heard someone outside yell "Rouge why is there blood everywhere?!"
"Shadow there is someone here and he is bleeding badly I need your help to get him to the hospital. Chaos Control us there."
"I can't I don't have a Chaos Emerald" said Shadow as he came in.
"Here" she said as she threw the emerald that Dusk had given her."He wanted me to give this to you."
Shadow caught the emerald and looked at it Wait isn't this the one that kid Dusk took from …Wait!
Shadow ran over and looked at the kid that his wife was helping. He saw the crimson eyes mixed with blue and the bat wings
"IT'S HIM! ROUGE GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
"What?" said Rouge as he grabbed her away from the injured teen
"That's the guy that stole the Chaos Emerald from the museum. He's an Eggman clone!"
"But he's hurt Shadow we have to help him"
"HE'S DANGEROUS! DON'T GO NEAR HIM! "
"He hasn't tried to hurt me" said Rouge" now we are helping him NOW"
"sigh alright let's get him to a hospital" Shadow helped Rouge pick Dusk up off the couch grabbed the Chaos Emerald from the table and yelled "Chaos Control!" and in an instant they were at the hospital.
The doctors got to work to help the teen. It turns out that the kid has a rare blood type that the hospital had no stock of. Luckily Shadow had the same blood type and consented to give some blood although it took some convincing from Rouge and some grumbling on Shadow's part.
Right now Dusk was in a bed with an I.V. in his arm, still unconscious. Rouge was at the side of his bed. Thinking about what Shadow had told her about the boy. He didn't seem so bad to her. To her he seemed like a scared, hurt child. She made a note to ask him what was wrong when he awoke. Just then Shadow walks in.
"Any change?" he asked
"No he is still unconscious." She answered. She then asked about what was bothering her
"Hey Shadow?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think you are right about this kid? I mean he brought you the Chaos Emerald why would he do that if he was intent on harming us? And why was he shot? I don't know but I don't think he is he for ill intent."
"Well I still don't trust him"
"We'll find out his intentions when he wakes up."
"I guess."
- Back to Dusk-
A few hours later Dusk started to stir. He felt something soft underneath him. He was lying on a bed, in a hospital. His abdomen was all bandaged first thought was a fear that he was captured. He looked down at his arms but they were unshackled.
Good I thought they would restrain me
"Well hello there sleepyhead."
He started and looked up. He saw the bat that had helped him. Now that he got a good look at her he recognized her from Eggman's database. It was Rouge or something like that. Yes it was Rouge
"Your Rouge the Bat, aren't you." He said
"Yes I am" she said smiling at him "I didn't think you were going to make it you lost a lot of blood."
"Yeah how did I get more blood? I have a really rare blood type."
"Oh I convinced Shadow to give some for you"
"Oh well thanks"
"I bet he would have done it anyway. Underneath his rough exterior he really is a good guy. He wouldn't have let you die"
"Oh"
"Now," she said "why don't you tell me why you came to our house and why you were shot when you got there."
Dusk looked down sadly." I found out the truth"
"What do you mean?"
"I found out that Shadow and Sonic were right when they told me that Eggman was no good. He just wanted me to use as a weapon and to destroy. I have been lied to my entire life." He said tears of anger and sadness starting to form in his eyes.
"Oh" Rouge felt really bad for him. She couldn't imagine how he must be feeling now.
"Uhh Mrs. Rouge" the doctor said "could I see you for am moment?"
"Yes doctor. I'll be back, alright Dusk"
"OK"
Rouge walked out of the room and stood next to Shadow who the doctor had already gotten. The doctor pulled out a clip board.
"What's this about, doctor" asked Shadow.
"Well we did a blood test on the boy you guys brought, that is how we were able to find out his blood type, but his blood doesn't exist anywhere on the records. It is very unusual
Well that isn't surprising considering he is a clone of someone thought Shadow.
"However, when we looked at his DNA we found something interesting. I think you should take a look." The doctor hands them the clipboard he was carrying.
Rouge took the clipboard and read it. She then dropped it in shock. Shadow looked at her with concern and picked up the clipboard. He looked at it and His eyes got as big as dinner plates.
"No, this cannot be."
"I'm afraid so. He matches your DNA, both of you. Congratulations Rouge and Shadow, you have a son."
A.N.. Ohhhh a cliffhanger I'm so mean aren't I
