The door burst open and someone knelt down next to her, "She's running a fever," Sonic mumbled.
She stirred and opened her eyes, "Sonic?"
Shadow ran in, "We need to hurry. More soldiers are coming."
Sonic scooped her up, "Let's get out of here!"
Her eyes were wide, "Is this real?"
They ignored her and raced outside. Shadow destroyed all the laser cannons and Sonic raced on with her in his arms. Soon they were out of range and ran into the forest. They walked into the base and she felt herself being placed back on her bed. Sonic felt her forehead and frowned.
Her eyes were closed and she squinched them in pain. No one spoke, but someone put a glass of water to her lips, and she drank eagerly. Once it was removed, she felt a little better, and found the will to fall asleep.
When she woke up again, there was another glass of water by her bed, and she drank it quickly. After it was gone, she got tired again, and fell asleep.
The next time she woke up, she stayed awake. It was dark, but she didn't care. The covers over her were extremely warm and she kicked them off. Cold air welcomed her and she stood up.
"Lay back down," a dark voice commanded.
She obeyed and Shadow pulled the covers back over her, "But I feel fine."
"But you're not," he said.
She glared at the covers, "Can I at least take the covers off? They're too warm."
"No."
She sighed, "I'm bored."
"Too bad."
She let her gaze flicker to the ceiling and then all around the room. She began to reach for her laptop, but he slapped her hand away.
"Hey!" she shouted.
"You need rest," he snapped.
She folded her arms and glared at the covers, "I've been asleep for the past day."
He ignored her and she groaned again. She looked out at the night sky and rolled over onto her stomach so she could look out the window. She put her hands under her chin and watched it contentedly. She looked back at him and suddenly felt something she never had before.
It hit her so suddenly she gasped in surprise and blushed deeply. He didn't do anything though, so she just bit her lip, and went back to gazing out the window. What was that? she wondered, It felt like I got electrocuted...but in a good way.
She sighed and slowly grew even more bored. She tossed back and forth, trying to keep herself entertained.
"Would you stop?" he snapped suddenly.
"Sorry. I'm bored," she replied, blushing.
"Go to sleep and you can get up tomorrow," he said.
"Fine. I'll try," she relented and closed her eyes.
When he had talked, she got goosebumps, and chills ran down her spine. What was this feeling?
Looks like Kayla's getting feelings for Shadow, but does he feel the same way? Find out later! And please, please, PLEASE, review! Thanks! ~tfflv
