Chapter 4

Paparazzi Madness

I wake up, and remember last night. I think about it, as I prepare for school, I grab my bag, and decide to walk alone. As I walk past the park, I hear voices.

"So where do you think they are staying?" A man asks, and I rush to the closest tree. I climb it, and listen carefully.

"I'm not sure, but that squirrel told me that they go to Chaos High." The other man says, and I growl silently. It must be that bitch from lucnch. I think, and continue to listen.

"We should ambush them, they'll never see it coming." The first man says, and my eyes widen. The men leave, and head towards the school.

"Bastards." I growl under my breath, and rush home. The girls were just walking outside, when I arrived. "Stop!" I demand, and they stare at me in shock.

"What? Why?" Blaze demands, and looks concerned.

"The paparazzi are gonna ambush us at school. " I say, then tell them what I had heard.

"Great, how will we get in then?" Rouge asks, and I shrug.

"I'll call Tails, he'll help us out!" Cream exclaims, and pulls out her phone.

"How did you get his phone number, and when?" Blaze asks, and Cream blushes.

"I-I...um...we exchanged numbers yesterday." She admits, and blushes redder. She pushes a number, and the phone begins to ring. "Hi Tails, its Cream." She says into the phone, and grins like a goof. "Well, we need help getting into the school." She says, and her smile dims down a bit. "Well the paparazzi are planning an ambush." She explains, and listens for a bit. "Really!?" She squeaks, and we hear Tails chuckle on the other end. "Great! We'll meet you at you place in a minute!" She says, and close the phone. She turns to us, and her face turns a even darker shade of red. "W-We need to go to his house, and he will drive us to school." She managed to squeak out, and we go to his house. He is parked outside in a black convertable, and he smiles when he sees us. We get in the car, and he starts driving.

"So how is this gonna work?" I ask, and Tails laughs.

"Don't worry, I'm taking you to the back of the school." He explains, and I sigh. "Me and my friends will help keep you guys unnoticed." He continues, and I stiffen. Great, so Shadow will be keeping an eye on me...I'm supposed to trust him... I think to myself, and frown.

We arrive, and go into the school. As soon as we walk inside, Shadow and his friends walk up to us. Tails hands Cream a bag, and she stares down at it.

"You guys need to change into those, so the paparazzi won't reconize you." Tails explains, and we nod. We go into the girls restroom, and change. I look in the mirror, and grow fond of the look. I'm in a dark purple and black striped dress, that ends just above the knee. I have on a red wig, that is shoulder length. The long bangs on it, covers my right eye. I also have on black heels, and I smirk. I look over at the girls, and they are also admiring themselves.

Cream is in a dark red tanktop, and a black mini skirt. She has on a dark red knit cap, that matchs her outfit perfect. She is also wearing black tennis shoes.

Blaze is in a dark grey hoodie, and black shorts. She has on a black baseball cap, and is wearing it over a black wig. Her wig has wavy hair, that ends a little below her shoulders. She is also in black tennis shoes.

Rouge is in a bright red cocktail dress, and is wearing black heels. She has on a orange wig, and it ends right below her chin. She has on a pair of black sunglasses.

We all look at eachother, and nod in approval. We walk...or should I say strut out of the restroom.

The guys look up, and gawk. I smirk, and walk over to them.

"You might wanna stop drooling." I tell them, and chuckle at their reactions.

"D-Don't be stupid, we were just...surprised is all." Shadow says, and his cheeks are bright red. I roll my eyes, and continue to smirk. "Whatever, lets go to homeroom." He says, and we start on our way. I'm farther behind the group, and am staring at the back of Shadow's head. I really don't trust this guy, I feel like he is planning something. I think, and frown. We walk into homeroom, and we take our seats.

In the middle of attendance, the doors are slammed open. Paparazzi fill the room, and they scan the room. One of them walk over to me, and stares intensly at me. I see Blaze glare at him from the cornor of my eye, and she stands up.

"What do you want?!" She demands, and the guy looks up at her. Realization swinkles in his eyes, and I know he has discovered us. Before he has his chance to say anything, I stand up.

"Run!" I yell to the girls, and we speed off. We rush out of the school, and I turn to the girls quickly. "Split up! Then they will be less likely to find us!" I order, and we run in opposite directions. I run into a forest, and start to slow down.
After a while I hear footsteps behind me. I start to panic, and walk faster. Then I'm running, and I know they know where I am. A hand lands on my shoulder, and I scream. But a hand covers my mouth, and I'm turned around.

"Calm down, its just me." Shadow whispers, and removes his hand. I sigh in relief, and smile. "Do you wanna hide out at my place, just until things die down?" He ask, and I look at him surprised.

"Yeah, I would. Shadow your a life savor." I say, and we hear footsteps. He grabs me, by my waist. I close my eyes, and he once again says 'Chaos Control'. I open my eyes, and we are in a livingroom. "Is this...?" I ask, and he nods. I sit down on his couch, and Shadow does the same.

"I'll be right back, I need to use the bathroom." Shadow says suddenly, and stands up. "Feel free to watch whatever you want." He says, as he leaves the room. I turn on the tv, and watch the news. All the news anchor is talking about is that we've gone missing, and the paparazzi are still looking for us. The door bell rings, and I jump. Shadow rushes in, and looks at me. "Go hide upstairs." He orders, and I nod. I turn the cornor, but don't go any further. Who is it? Is it the paparazzi? I hear the door open, and peek around the cornor. It was a man, and he had a camera in his hand.

"Hey Shadow, I didn't know you lived here." The man says, and Shadow chuckles.

"Yeah, my mom didn't want me at home anymore." He says, and the man chuckles as well.

"So, have you seen any of the girls?" The man asks, and Shadow stiffens.

"Who?" Shadow asks, and the man smirks.

"The Blood Red Roses bandmates." He explains, and pats Shadow on the shoulder. "You should get a few nice shots of them, before they go somewhere else." He says, and Shadow stiffens. The feeling of betrayel rushes through me, and I growl quietly. He is working for them! How could he lie! I can't believe I was starting to trust him! I think, and hear the door shut. I come into view, and storm past Shadow. I grab the door handle, but a hand grasps my wrist. "Amy, its not what you think!" He says, and I glare at him.

"Yeah fucking right! Like I should believe you!" I yell at him, and jerk my hand out of his grasp. I run out of the house, not caring if I'm found.

I surprisingly make it to my house unnoticed, and rush inside. I lock the door, and look around the hosue. It turns out the girls have all been here for a couple of hours, and I relax a bit. I walk upstairs, and close the bedroom door. I don't bother changing, and lay down. I close my eyes, and start to fall asleep. Then suddenly I feel wait on top of me, and my eyes snap open. My eyes met a pair of red ones, and I growl. I struggle, and try to get free. But he hold me tight, and I glare up at him.

"Let me go, you bastard!" I demand, but he ignores me.

"Listen to me, it was a misunderstanding." He pleads, and I hiss. I kick him, and he flys off of me.

"Get out now!" I growl, and he sighs in defeat. He looks into my eyes, and I see something that surpises me...sorrow. He closes his eyes, and I frown.

"Chaos Control." He says, and disappears. I blink a couple of times, in shock. I get over it, and lay back down. I fall asleep, and ignore the strange feeling I got when I saw his sorrow.

How was it? Were you surpised? I know some of you aren't... :P

Anyway..don't forget to review!
