Chapter 10 part 2!
-with Rouge.-
Just as she had reached the Subway, she went to all the staff and the subway guards asking for Red.
"I'm looking for her, you seen her?" "Depending, looking for her because?"
"Excuse me! That's government business, pal! Now if you wanna keep your job, you'll cooperate fully!" Rouge thrust out her government badge and sneered at the guard, who then pointed to the subway entrance that said , "Mystic Ruins, transfer to Mystic Mountain and Station Square."
'Oh, shit... Where could she have gone? I need to tell Amy now.' Rouge went to a payphone and dialed in Knuckles' number.
*riinng, riinnng*
'Knuckles, here, who is this?'
"Babe! It's Rouge! I have a lead to where Red might be headed! I'm unsure but I need you and Amy to head to station square's subway!"
'That's great, Babe. We met up with Shadow again, what should he do?'
"Omg, PERFECT, tell him to go to Mystic Mountain's subway and watch out for Red. She could be going to either of these places, she had supposedly departed a good 10 minutes ago, we haven't much time before she starts walking!"
'We'll get right on it, Babe. Be careful!'
-click-
Rouge ran under the turnstile and quickly ran up the stairs to the train before it left. Red please be safe.
-with Shady, Amy and Knux.-
"Shadow, be super careful! Call me if anything ok?" Amy kissed Shadow, and he kissed back.
"I'll be fine, I promise." With that, Shadow used Chaos control and left, leaving Knuckles and Amy to scope out who left and went into Station Squares subway.
"Any sign of her?" Knuckles asked staring at the people around the subway.
"Well, the conductors said the train from Emerald coast would be coming in a few minutes. So we should head up the stairs to check out the train." Amy said opening the door while Knuckles trailed behind, still looking outside.
"Maybe..." Knuckles paused. "Maybe, she went to Noah?"
"Oh my chaos... That might be it. But... Screw it, Knuckles you stay here and keep a watch out for Red, I'm gonna head over to Chavannes and find out where Noah is." Amy ran for the door, bursting out with determination and hope.
She ran down the block and made a left, heading to her old apartment.
When she reached the familiar streets of her old house she crossed to the opposite side of the street to notice Chavannes had been closed.
'It's like 1! This is rush hour!' Amy thought as she closer investigated the scene. She noticed a slip of paper saying, "Chavannes has officially moved to the Mystic Mountain district! One block from the windy valley drop off by bus! Sorry, my regulars. But change is good!"
'Oh my chaos, please don't tell me she's goin to the mountains...'
Amy hurriedly ran back to Station Square Plaza. 'I gotta tell Knuckles ASAP.'
Her thoughts were interrupted by her running into something rock solid and edgy... Like a leather jacket. She almost fell backward had the figure in front of her had not grabbed her by the waist.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Ames. Didn't see you..." The figure spoke still holding Amy in his embrace.
She looked up to see Sonic. He wasn't looking at her, he seemed to be looking at the cars. He placed her on her feet, and started walking off in the initial direction he was facing.
She had to tell Knuckles right away, and meet up with Shadow, but she also had to SOMETHING, Somehow...
"Wait!" She held out her hand and took a step forward in Sonics direction.
"..." He stopped. Not looking her way just standing in place.
"I .. I just wanted-" she stammered, eagerly wanting to say something but nothing was forming.
"Look, Amy... I understand. I'll be fine, just like you said. Good bye, Amy."
Just then he started walking again, hands in his pockets and his head looking towards his boots. She was frantic, she didn't want him hurt, then thought about it.
'... He didn't care if I was hurt...'
With that realization, she found a rock in the snow. She carefully aimed the best she could and threw it with force. The rock hit Sonics funny bone, making him cringe in pain as he stretched out his whole left arm.
"What the HELL?" He turned fully to face her.
"Screw you!" She turned and ran off to the Station, leaving Sonic with his elbow.
'God, even when I'm NOT drooling over him... I still care for that assholes feelings...'
-with Rouge.-
*riiing, riii-*
'Knuckles here, who is it?'
"Babe, its Rouge again, have you found her yet?"
'No, sorry babe, she isn't at Station Square, and -'
"Knux? Babe talk to me."
'Amy just told me that she thinks Red is going to Mystic Mountain, Rouge!'
"Well isn't Shadow heading there? I'll meet up with him, you guys head by train to the Mystic Ruins subway, and wait for either me or Shadow to return, understood?"
'Yes, babe. Now good luck.'
*click*
Rouge removed her hoodie and pulled her tank top down to let her wings resurface. 'Sweet RELIEF!'
She took to the sky, heading to the mountain tops as fast as her wings could take her. She surveyed the ground below making sure not to miss Red if she had just been walking to the mountains.
'Please be safe...'
-with Shadow.-
'Alright. I'm here, now let's see if Red is...' He hid in a nearby tree next to the cliff of the mountain side, and glared over the edge at the residence below. Scanning the area for a Red pup, or that orange echidna, with hopes of ending this soon.
"Where are you?"
Shadow turned his attention to a small voice walking up the road to the top of this mountain.
'Red?'
It was Red, her face was kind of flustered and her eyes were glassy. She held her phone to her ear and asked again...
"Where are you? I need to see you, Noah!"
...
"Please, tell him its important!"
...
"I ran away... I don't wanna go back. My opinion doesn't matter to her, Noah!"
...
"I'm on the mountain top... Cuz you told me to meet you here!"
...
"See you soon."
With that, she Hung up and wiped her eyes. She was probably crying a lot from the look of her chest. Her breathing was shallow and labored as she tried to calm herself.
Shadow seeing what had just occured, thought about what she had said.
'Nobody takes her opinions into consideration? Is that the cause of her rude behavior? Pathetic. I wouldn't even run away for that.'
Angered, he jumped out of the tree landing in front of Red. He took a hold of her shoulders and chuckled.
"This is so stupid, Red. Now, tell me the real reason for your little upset." His crimson eyes met with her puffy burgundy ones.
"How would you like it if Amy just up and left you all alone? Your new found love for her would EASILY dissipate! How would you feel if it wasn't even brought up to you, just thrusted upon you, and against your will HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT!"
He wasn't affected by her shouts. Shadow saw truth in her words, but couldn't coincide with the fact, she had worried Amy, Rouge, Knuckles, hell even he himself was alittle worked up at her disappearance.
"That's not the point, that's life, whatever happens, happens. You gotta learn to deal with it and shut the hell up!" His eyes narrowed at her and his grip softened. "It's not all sunshine and brightness. There are going to be dark times. You'll find yourself in a tunnel, you can't just give up. You have to find the light in the dark."
"Red!" Noah had finally showed up, huffing and breathing hard to catch his breath. He notices Shadow in front of Red as she is crying. "What happened?"
"Calm yourself, echidna. I simply put her thoughts straight. She's a bit selfish if you ask me." Shadow patted Red on her head and let her cry.
"Red, I'm so sorry..." Noah came to Shadows side and picked up Reds chin. "Believe me, I want to be with you, I wouldn't change that for he world! I'm extremely sorry, it was last minute. Please forgi-"
Noah was interrupted when Red lunged herself onto him, nuzzling his chest and sliding up to his lips. Crying and all she kissed him forcefully, him returning the kiss, grabbing Red by her waist holding her close.
The kiss was interrupted by a voice from above.
-NORMAL POV-
"Shadow! You found her?" Rouge descended on the opposite side of Red, facing her and Shadow completely.
"Yes, I did. Seems they're having a reunion." Shadow walked to the side of Rouge. He folded his arms and stared at the two, puzzlingly.
"Well, at least she's ok..." Rouge looked around the cliff side and noticed a red dot and a pink dot hovering together to the mountainside road. "Shadow, Amy is here with Knuckles."
"Really?" Shadow quickly unfolded his arms, ears perked up. Then, he remembered what Red had spat about not so long ago...' How would you like it if Amy just up and left you all alone?'
'I can't let this brat get to me.'
Shaking the idea from his mind, he turned to face the mountainside road and an exhausted Echidna fall to the floor while a Pink hedgehog ran to Red and hugged her tightly.
"Red! I'm so sorry! I never meant to ruin your relationship! I swear!" Red had never seen this side of Amy, to be bawling and weak. She stood there in Amys embrace until another set of Arms came around Red.
"She didn't mean it, hon. Amy is always known for a big heart." It was Rouge, she had hugged Reds free arm and leaned on her shoulder.
Noah had held Reds other arm, and Shadow hugged her behind Amy.
"Oh, you guys..." Red choked on more sobs and pulled Noah and Rouge in closer. "I did-nn't mean to wor-ry you g-guys... I'm s-so sorryyyy...!"
"Remember... There will be dark times..." Shadow mumbled, letting his grip on Reds shoulders loosen. His hands now falling on Amys shoulders. "Find the light in the dark..."
