All day Rouge didn't know what she could do, when ever she made eye contact with Shadow she stood scared and end up going to the opposite direction.

She would purposely take the long way to her next class if it meant avoiding Shadow.

Rouge hated avoiding him but she had to incase Glory found out and would threaten to put her parents in danger.

The school day came to an end and The white bat made sure she wasn't spotted, unfolding her wings she prepared to levitate off the ground.

" Going somewhere?" a familiar voice made her freeze and land back down on the ground. Her ears pinned down against her head afraid to look behind her.

Shadow stood with his arms cross, he wasn't blind he knew something was wrong " I know something is bothering you" he spoke.

" ... N...No" she replied " I...I fine". the hedgehog didn't believe her.

" you can cut the act Rouge" he snapped " Look if you're getting picked on just tell me and I'll..."

" STOP IT!" Rouge turned screaming at him " Why do you care? Why do you care if I'm picked on or not?" she bawled her hands " it doesn't matter someone is going to think my family are criminals..."

" What?" Shadow asked but he remembered one of the cops that showed up, one of them being a brown furred hedgehog...

He knew very well who he's related to... And he put the pieces together... Glory sent the police at her home.

" I see" once he realized " Rouge " he called getting her attention " Glory did it didn't she?"

The white bat nodded, Shadow growled as he balled his fist up, of course! Glory has gone to far!

" From now on... Ignore her" Shadow told her " If you ignore her she can't get under your skin".

Rouge understood " I will try" and with that the bat took off into the air. Shadow watched as Rouge flew away from the school grounds.

" I figured you be here" a female called. Shadow waited as the devil herself Glory approached him.

" Glory" Shadow growled " you think you're so clever don't you" he turned around now facing her " what you did was wrong!"

" S..Shadow" the brunette hedgehog acted shock" I don't understand what your talking about?"

" Don't lie!" he barked " you sent your father at Rouge's last night didn't you?!" he crossed his arms . The Brunette hedgehog backed away, she was furious that Shadow was over at Rouge's. The dark furred hedgehog sighed and began walking past her.

" you're a real piece of work" he told her " your actions are why I'll never date you". And with that he left the scene.

Rouge flew until she remembered she had to go grab some things from the grocery store. The bat landed by the side of the supermarket, she fixed her outfit and proceed to enter the store.

What she didn't know was someone was watching her. He was a tall black furred bat with bright yellow eyes.

he wore a black trench coat and he smirked when he saw Rouge.

"Cela fait longtemps(it's been along time)" he spoke "... My darling Rouge!"
