CHAPTER 20
Me~Yaay. Ok here we go! Nothing belongs to me besides my OC's! Starts from Silvers PoV ! ^.^/ Surprise POV later xP
Silver; ooh who is it?
Me~ it says 'surprise' for a reason, sweetie...
Silver; ooh...
-Silvers PoV.-
"Excuse me, who are you?" I ran up to the door where the hooded figure was.
He turned his face, he was a dark blue echidna with short quills, if he hadn't looked at me completely I swear I woulda thought he was Sonic...
"Oh, Silver I assume? I'm Brick, an old friend of Amys, pleasure to meet you!" He patted my shoulder seeing as my hands were full.
"Oh. Uhm. Nice to meet you, too. Oh, Amy won't answer the door. She ... Sprained her ankle last night." I glared at the door knob and we heard two locks unlock.
"Is it open?" Brick stared at me for a while then the door.
"Oh, yea, can you open it for me?" I heaved the laundry bag up more, stopping it from sliding off. As Brick opened the door, I quickly closed the umbrella and jogged up to the stairs.
"... Mm, wait here Brick." I pointed to the couch and he understood.
I jumped to Amys room with the laundry bag and noticed she was asleep. "Aww.." I whispered settling the laundry bag down by the foot of her bed. I went to where she slept and kissed her forehead.
Leaving the room as I left it, I proceeded to Brick. "Brick?"
"Oh, yes?" He got up from the couch and looked at me. "Where's Amy?"
"She's sleeping. I can make you some lunch if you'd like?" I suggested leaning on the wall before the door to the kitchen.
"No! Don't bother. I'm quite fine with food. But I am parched... Might I have a drink?" He smiled slightly.
"What would you like?" I walked into the kitchen looking in the fridge.
"Tea, please."
'What the fff... Oh, wait.' "Amy has this really amazing tea recipe, would you like some of that?" I pulled the recipe from the cabinet above the stove and looked at it.
"Ah, is it made with honey and mint? I know very well of that recipe. I'd be delighted to have a cup!"
'I know I had to talk formal back at home but this guy is creepy...' I got the ingredients and the tea pot out. I put the teapot on the stove and added the ingredients and some water, walked out of the kitchen and let it boil.
"So, Brick. How did you meet Amy?" I sat on the recliner saving the couch, where Brick sat.
"Ah. Second grade I believe. We've know each other ever since. I met up with her on planet whisp a couple days back, I wanted to know of her condition if it had gotten better. How about you? How did you meet her?" Brick smiled sincerely, and his eyes shone... 'Wow, he seems really nice.'
"Well..." I told him of my original mission in Soleanna to revert the catastrophe in the past so the future would be better. How Amy mistook me for Sonic and I helped her find him. I comforted her when Sonic was with Elise for ... A while I'm assuming, and how I left.
"Heartfelt story! Now you are her mate?" He smiled broadly.
"Yes, and proud." I smiled like I won a trophy.
Screeeech!
"Oh, lemme get that." I hopped up and turned the gas off the stove pouring a cup of the tea for me and Brick.
"Silver...?"
I heard a soft and confused voice, it sounded like it came from upstairs. When I handed Brick his cup, I left mine on the coffee table and headed up stairs. I looked around and no one was there. I walked to Amys door and opened it to see Amy still fast asleep. 'What the hell?'
"Are you mad...?"
"Ac-!" I covered my mouth to not wake Amy. 'What is that?'
"It's me, Brie..."
'Whoa... How are you talking to me? WHY is a better question.'
I walked out of Amys room into the hallway to hear Brick call up to me.
"Silver? I must leave. Sorry for barging in, I wanted to check on Amys condition seeing as how she's asleep, ill come another day. Farewell! Thanks again." He opened and closed the door as I waved.
"I... Need your help...!"
'I don't believe you.' I walked down the stairs to the recliner and grabbed my tea.
"Please..! The researchers... Did som-hing... Ho-ble t- m-"
'Brie? I... I can't hear you right...' I took a small sip of the tea.
"I... Can't..."
There was a long silence... I didn't know what to think or say... Was she telling the truth? I couldn't leave Amy again... But then again...
"She's my little sister. I have to find out what's wrong." I looked at my glove, it still had oil on it. I gripped my hand tightly. 'I gotta find out.'
Knock, knock.
... 'Who now?'
I opened the door slowly to see Shadow. "Huh?"
"Oh. I expected Rose to answer... Hmph. Anyway, this is for her. Lena told me to deliver it if ever she needed it." He handed me a hot pack, it was burning when I took it, yet to him, it didn't seem at all hot.
"Thanks.. I guess..." He began walking away. I had to ask, it didn't hurt right? "W-wait!"
"... What is it?" Shadow only stopped, not looking behind.
"I have... A feeling you know my sister..." 'Aah, get to the point Silver!'
"...what of it?" He turned around now.
"I... I need help, Shadow... BELIEVE ME. You are not even on my list of who to go to for help, but I know that you wouldn't try anything funny..." I blushed. I was mentally beating myself up for what I had decided. 'Craaaap.'
"I appreciate the fact you trust me, in some way. But I refuse to get caught up in any more of this stupid business between you and your sister." He turned back around and began walking.
"Waaaaiiit." I whined. I admit I was kinda spoiled, but this was urgent! "Please hear me out! I have an awful taste in my mouth even SPEAKING with you, but this ... I don't have much time!"
He grumbled and crossed his arms. He sighed heavily and turned around. "What. Do you. Want."
"I... I need.. you... To.." I stammered, balling my fists staring at the ground. 'Dammit, maybe I could ask Cream and Vanilla instead! What if they say no? Those girls at the boutique are working... But Shadows right here!'
"Spit it out! Now!" He had cross hurts popping up on his forehead.(those red marks that show up in like... Harvest moon xD)
"WATCH-AMY-FOR-ME-WHILE-I-GO-TO-SOLEANNA-TO-MAKE-SURE-MY-SISTER-IS-OK!" I felt like my brain popped, I didn't believe I just asked an ally to that moron to watch my girl... I felt PATHETIC!
"..."
"... Well?" I stammered looking at his blank expression.
About five minutes later, he looked up and walked near the bottom step of the porch.
"... Better than hearing those valley girl sounding bitches at that AWFUL shop..." He narrowed his eyes at me. "I expect you back in at LEAST, hear that? LEAST two hours."
"Oh, god, THANK you!" I ran behind him, only to be grabbed by the collar of my shirt.
"Chaos... Control."
-Shadows Pov.-
"..."
I sat on the couch of Amys living room and looked around. 'Seems like Amy... hmph.' I crossed my arms and looked at the little clock hung on the wall.
"12:30, huh? Shit, its early..." I leaned back on the couch, my arms still crossed, staring at the turned off t.v. silently.
Ten minutes passed and I heard a door creak and a raspy irritating voice from up the stairs call Silver.
"Rose?"
Then I heard shuffling and the door slam... 'Ahh, shit. She better not start.' Sighing heavily, I got up from the couch and walked to the stairs.
"Rose. Let me explain..."
"Go away! What did you do with Silver?" Her scratchy voice practically clawed at my ear drums.
"Gee, if you'd let me EXPLAIN..." I reached the top step, "Then youd know!"
"Why are you in my house?-cough-." She quietly opened her door having her pink ears and green eyes peer put.
"Ok, so... I was ordered by Lena to drop off a hot pack for your ankle. Then, Silver told me he needed my help. Surprisingly, he asked me to watch you while he check on his sister back at Soleanna. He should be home in ... An hour and forty minutes. Don't worry I won't be here long. I wish nothing of staying longer." I leaned against the wall next to her door.
"... Oh. So, he left again..?-cough-." She sounded disappointed as she opened her door more. She limped out and sat by her door on the opposite side I was standing.
"No, romantic, 'oh i miss him!', Bullshit, please, Rose. I hear enough of it from those obnoxious girls you call 'employees'." I really was not in the mood to be discussing her and Silvers relationship.
"Ass hole." She muttered.
Silence... For a good five minutes till she looked up at me.
"I'm hungry." She snapped.
"Who you like a medal?" I snapped back.
"How about a silver platter with tons of food on it. Like, ASAP?" She put her hands on her hops and pouted, looking up at me while her brows furrowed.
"Wise guy, aren't we?" I was getting annoyed. "Just order something."
She looked down and then struggled to get up on her good leg. 'Oh, that puppy Bullshit...!'
I held her arm around my shoulders and helped her inside her room. "... There."
"Thanks... I didn't ask for your help though." She got out a menu from a pizzeria and her phone.
"Be grateful I didn't accidentally drop you by your steps, having you fall down them, possibly cracking your neck." I huffed and crossed my arms.
"Ouch." She dialed the number and placed her order.
"How long and how much would that be?"
"Ok."
"Shadow?" I was standing outside of her room as she finished her order. I turned to face her from the door.
"What happened."
"I ordered us food. Hope you don't mind but yes, you're eating. The man said its 20.56, here's the money, tell em to keep the change and another thing."
"What. Is. It." My fur was standing on ends. How dare she make orders to me? Silver owed me big time...
"Carry me downstairs?" She looked at me with her big green eyes.
I sighed heavily. I went to her bed and heaved her over my shoulder, proceeding to the stairs.
"This...? Is how you'd hold a girl?" She squirmed a bit. I simply chuckled as I walked down the stairs and turned to the dining room.
"Your lucky I didn't have you walk by yourself down the stairs. Forcing you to walk on your foot." I sat her down. She stuck her tongue out at me, and I just grinned. I went to the living room to wait for the food.
During the twenty minutes it took for that food to get here, that brat was humming some ANNOYING song, ONE part, over and over again! Until I was saved by the door bell. 'THANK CHAOS!'
I thrust the door open, throwing the money at the man, and taking the food. "Keep the change!" I slammed the door and stomped over to this BRAT.
"Here's your food, now shut it and eat!" I swear I was on the verge of snapping. Either way she gave me a disdainful look and grabbed her container along with another.
"Here's your fo-"
"I'm not eating." I turned to the living room, but was stopped by Amys shouts.
"Why can't you just let people pamper you? They care enough to befriend you, and care for you and you keep giving them the cold shoulder. You ass." I then heard the chair scratch the floor, I turned to see she moved her chair 180 degrees so she wasn't facing the living room anymore.
I looked back in front of me the same spot, and seethed. 'Why do so many test my patience? Why?' I exhaled sharply, turning around at Amy, head down. She wasn't eating at all.
"Why aren't you eating. You didn't waste this money for nothing, right?"
"Coming from you." She coughed a bit. I cringed. 'Damn this woman.'
I walked up to the front of her and squeezed her cheeks. "You are lucky I'm doing this as a favor, or I would personally shove that food down your throat. Now, if I were you, I'd eat." I took the food and placed it on the table and shoved her chair back around.
"If my ankle weren't twisted, I'd kick your spiky ass." She looked up at me and pouted.
"Wish all you like, Rose. Now. Eat." I sat across from her.
She took some nibbles of her food and constantly kept looking up at me to look away. 'Seriously...? A NEWBORN could eat faster than her.'
"Do ya hafta STARE at me?" She squeaked, looking flustered.
"Just..." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "Eat."
"..." She shifted a little in her chair and tried -emphasis on TRIED- to eat.
"Oh, god." I checked the clock on the kitchen counter. "This is gonna be one HELL of a long hour..."
Me~ Hehehe, it was fun to write as Shadow xD
Shadow- Really now?
Amy: He's an ass tho! I want Silver back! -
Me~ Not yet! Lol, gotta get some idea on how to explain Soleannas situation.
Shadow- So shut it and finish your food.
Amy:tosses food at Shadow. No, YOU finish your food.
Me~ ooh... boy ... Look out for the next Chapter! ^~^"
