Chapter 8
First Love
First part of this chapter will be in Rosy's POV
I woke up in my bed. The first thing I noticed was how my head hurt. I put my hand up to it and felt a bandage on it. Memories of last night came flooding back, and I trembled in fear. If it wasn't for that mysterious man, I would have been most likely have been found this morning in a alley, raped and most likely dead. I started to cry. I cried and sobbed and let out all of the fear and relief I held inside. I heard the door open and I saw my dad come in to my room.
"Rosy, you're awake." He said, coming over and giving me a hug, conforting me and wiping my tears. "I'm glad you're okay, sweetheart. Your mom and I were worried when you didn't come home." He gestured to a crying Amy standing by the door. Dad looked close to crying himself. He continued with his story "Then we heard scuffling in your room and we went up here and found you in your bed, bandaged up. We found this on your side table."
He handed me a note which said,
Take care of her. I might not be there next time to save her.
DTH
"I couldn't figure out the handwriting. I don't know who this DTH is. I just know I'm thankful to him" Dad said.
But I wasn't listening. I was too busy thinking. Who could have taken out three big guys, carried her back, and bandaged her head up, then slipped out without being noticed? Who?
Oh my God I thought. It was him. I thought he had gone home.
I threw my covers off and jumped out of bed.
"Whoa honey, I don't think you should get out of bed right now." Dad said, but I ignored him. I ran out of the house and up the street. I would be there in a minute. My destination was only a few blocks from here. I went to thank the one who saved me.
The story is now back in third person
Dusk was in the kitchen with Rouge, cooking. Dusk was cutting carrots for soup at break-neck speeds.
"You know I have never cooked before." He said.
"Well then, we'll just have to change that won't we?" Rouge laughed.
Then they heard the door open and shut.
"Shadow. That you?" Rouge called.
They see Rosy at the door, an strange look on her face and bandages on her head.
"Rosy what happened to you," Rouge gasped "Your head..."
At this time time Dusk turned around.
"Oh hi-"was a Dusk had time to get out before Rosy came and brought his torso into a bone crunching hug.
Looking at Dusk's look Rouge thought Another thing she inherited from her mom, her hugs, ouch. She rubbed her back, remembering the hugs that she has gotten from the very strong girl. She then slips out of the kitchen with a smile on her face, giving them a moment.
"Thank you so much for what you did. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't have shown up." She said with tears in her eyes.
"How did you find out?" he asked.
"Come on. Who else could take out three dudes, carry me back and give me medical care. Not only that, only you could slip out of my house without being seen."
"I don't think it would be that hard to slip by your dad." Dusk chuckled.
Rosy giggled. She kept hugging him for a second. "Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you do it? Why did you save me?"
Dusk was silent for a second, looking for the words to say.
He finally found them "From the first time I met you, I've felt like I have to protect you. I don't know why but I have a connection to you that I have never felt before."
Rosy stood silent for a moment before looking up at him." Are you saying that you like me?" she asked.
Embarrassed, Dusk rubbed the back of his head and gave a grin that she found cute. "Yeah, I guess that is what I'm saying." He chuckled.
"Good," she said, getting closer, "Because I like you too". Their lips met.
Rouge was watching the "action" from behind the door. She knew she was being a little nosy but it was nice to see Dusk happy.
"Ah young love" she said to herself.
"Rouge are you here?" said Shadow before being yanked and shushed by Rouge.
"Look" she said pointing in the kitchen.
"Why are they making out in our kitchen? More importantly, why is that blue moron's daughter here."
"I just figured out why Dusk was late getting here last night."
After they broke off the kiss, Dusk asked Rosy" So you want to gout sometime?"
Rosy giggled and snuggled up to Dusk "Sure." she said.
Things were starting to look up for Dusk. He had found a place where he belonged. Everyone here was real nice and understood his situation. Sonic eventually looked past his terror and found a new racing parter. He even caught Shadow giving him a ghost of a smile when he criticized Sonic for doing something stupid, but it disappeared as soon as he noticed Dusk was looking at him. He was also looking for a place. He didn't want to over stay his welcome any more than he needed to. He thought that his life would be normal now.
And then the unthinkable happened.
A.N. Warning: Eggman returns next chapter. It is going to get CRAZY. Dusk finally gets to show how much of a badass he is.
Read and review and no flames or I will have Dusk cut you in half with his sword.
