Chapter 5

Shadow let out a low growl, turning around to face the annoying pink hedgehog. "If you don't know your way around the forest, then why did you come here?" He questioned, glaring at her.

"I told you that I thought that you were Sonic." Amy replied, looking around the now darkening forest. "Please help me get out of here! I don't wanna be left here all by myself!" She added, giving Shadow her best puppy-dog eyes. Shadow just looked at her blankly, before he let out a sigh.

"Follow me." Was all he said, turning to walk the other way.

"Thank you so much, Shadow! You have no idea how much it means to me that you're helping me at a time like this." Amy said brightly, now sure that Shadow wasn't heartless. That was it. She found one thing about him. No matter how uncaring Shadow is, if he finds someone in distress, he'll still help them. A small smile covered the female's muzzle.

The ebony male nodded, quickening his pace. "Hurry up a bit." Shadow said impatiently.

"But I can't, Shadow. My feet hurt from all that walking." Amy replied, swatting a few flies away from her. She pretended not to notice Shadow glare daggers at her.

The dark hedgehog growled with his teeth clenched. Amy was making him change his mind about helping her. Shadow glared at her one more time, before starting to walk to the way of the exit.

xXx

"When are we gonna get out of here?" Amy whined for the tenth time in five minutes. She was totally bored out of her mind. Shadow wouldn't answer the questions she would ask to get something out of him, and she was hungry.

The darker hedgehog completely ignored her, breathing in and out, trying to control his anger.

Amy kept on following Shadow, grabbing some random sticks poking out from trees. She turned to the male before her, both jade eyes landing on his broad back. Oh god! What is that thing? Amy asked in her thoughts, staring wide-eyed at the green bug on Shadow's shoulder. "Hey, Shadow." She called, but the stubborn hedgehog ignored her again. The pink hedgehog bit her lip, holding one of the sticks she had gathered, in her hands. She aimed at the bug, hitting the stick on Shadow's shoulder. Amy removed the twig, but the bug was gone. She had missed! But that wasn't the bad thing. Amy glanced up at the male hedgehog, who seemed more annoyed than ever, while grinning sheepishly.

Shadow crossed his arms, with a loud "hmph." "What are you doing? Here I am, helping you exit the forest, and that's how you repay me? By hitting me with a tree branch-stick, whatever?" The ebony hedgehog asked, sounding very pissed off.

"N-no." And the stuttering started. "Th-there w-was a b-b-bu-" Amy stopped talking, feeling something crawl up her arm. She started shaking, her eyes travelling to her arm. After she took a look at her arm, an ear-splitting scream escaped her. "AHHHHHHHHHHH! Get it off of me! Please!" Amy yelled, running from one place to another.

Shadow only raised an eyebrow, finding the petite hedgehog's sudden change of behavier very amusing. He walked to her, and Amy stopped freaking out immediately. The ebony hedgehog took her hand and looked at it. There, standing on her hand, was a medium-sized hairy spider. The female closed her eyes, whimpering a little. Shadow shook his head in disbelief at her actions, then with one swift movement, flicked the spider off of Amy's arm. The pink hedgehog looked at Shadow, going to give him a hug, but the hedgehog saw it coming, and shook his head.

Amy looked down sadly. Shadow was acting like she had cooties or something. "Thanks." She whispered, giving the male a small smile, before it faded. "Why don't you like me, Shadow?"

The ebony hedgehog looked up at her, before turning around and walking away. Amy frowned, already having expected that from him, but continued following him anyway.

xXx

"Shadow, It's been like HOURS, and we still haven't got out of the woods yet." The tired pink hedgehog mumbled, fiddling with her hands. It had gotten more darker now, and the sky was showing signs of rain.

The dark hedgehog stopped walking, feeling very annoyed now with all of Amy's questioning. "First of all, it hasn't been hours of us being in the woods," He replied, crossing his arms with a frown on his face. "And second, you followed me in the forest for like half an hour, and we've only been trying to get out for fifteen munutes, so how long do you think there's left before we actually get out?" He threw in a question, watching the female's shoulders drop.

"Fifteen more minutes." Amy whined, her lips in a small pout. Shadow just smirked at her reaction, knowing that the petite female would never follow anyone ever again in a forest. What he didn't know, was that he was really 100% right about what he said.

Remind me to never go in a forest again! Amy thought to herself. Suddenly there was lightning, causing the pink hedgehog to shriek, before clasping herself to Shadow.

The male watched Amy clung to him, feeling uncomfortable. She was hugging him, with her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, and her head on his tuft of chest fur.

Realising what she was doing, Amy pulled away quickly, her eyes locking on his. Both pf them didn't move, they just kept staring at each other. There was a few thunder noises, before the rain came cascading down.

Shadow broke the intense gaze of their eyes, with a smirk on his face, and his eyebrows raised. "I didn't know that you were afraid of thunder and lightning." He said, clearly amused.

Amy blushed softly, pulling away from him completely, feeling like her body was on fire from his warmth. "I'm not scared of them." She muttered quietly, the rain drenching them both. She squeezed the water out of her hair, her eyes travelling to the male hedgehog before her. What she saw made her gape like a fish.

Shadow was just standing there, letting the rain soak him from head to toe, with his gaze somewhere else. The rain trickled down his body, making him look...

"What are you gawking at with such interest?" His deep voice cut in her thoughts, leaving her cheeks to turn bright red.

"Um, nothing!" Amy answered quickly, before adding,"Can you please get us out of here quick? I don't want to be out in the rain." Then she thought of his chaos emerald. "Hey, Shadow! Why don't you chaos control us out of here?"

"I would've done that a long time ago, except I don't have my emerald with me." Lightning clapped, and the rain started coming down faster. "If you really want to get out of here," He watched her head snap up, "There is only one way that'll help us get out of here faster. So, are you up for it?"

Amy nodded her head quickly. She would do ANYTHING to get out of this dark forest. Her thoughts were interrupted, when she felt herself get scopped up. She shook her head to get the quills out of her eyes, and looked up. "Wait, your gonna run?"

"Yes, that's the only fast way I can think of." He looked down at her, his face emotionless. "You might want to hold on tightly, because if you go flying off once I start skating, don't blame me." Shadow smirked slightly, getting ready to run.

Amy's eyes widened, before she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling a blush creep up to her cheeks. This is crazy! Why am I always blushing around him? She asked herself. Shadow started skating, running at his fastest speed. The pink hedgehog in his arms yelped at the sudden speed, wrapping her arms even more tightly around his neck.

With the ebony hedgehog skating fastly, Amy couldn't even really feel the rain anymore. Well, she could, but it was mixed with the wind. She watched the forest end, with them coming in a clearing.

"Where do you live?" She heard him say, his red orbs focusing on her face for just a second.

"Well, I live in..."

xXx

Shadow stopped, letting Amy stand on her legs. The pink hedgehog turned around, smiling at seeing her cozy house. She turned around to the black and red streaked hedgehog, wanting to thank him. "Thank you for bringing me home, Shadow." She smiled at him warmly, making her way up to the door. "Would you like to stay with me tonight? Think of it as a thank-you, and also you can't go out in the rain again, you'll catch a cold." Amy added, looking at him with concern.

The male shook his head, the rain pouring down on him. "It's alright. I'm used to being out in bad weathers." He replied, looking at her with his blood red eyes. The pink hedgehog smiled at him sadly, feeling slight pity for the lonely hedgehog.

"Oh, ok. Um, well bye, I guess." Amy muttered, keeping her eyes on Shadow. The ebony hedgehog nodded, turned around, and skated out of sight. The female sighed quietly, going inside her house, feeling the warmth embrace her. "Today went well, even if I got lost in the forest." Amy giggled to herself, walking to the kitchen. She turned on the light, opening the door of the fridge. "I wonder what tommorow is gonna be like." She wondered out loud, getting out a sandwich that she had bought, and took a big bite. "I don't know why, but I have a feeling that tommorow will be even better..."
