  "I can't believe you two left base. I CAN'T believe it. And without my consent." Eggman huffed loudly. He stomped over to us. "What were you two thinking!" He insisted on shouting. "And Shadow," Eggman whirled towards Shadow, "I expected much more from you. I expected much better behavior. Must I train you again Shadow...we all know you don't want that."
  "Don't threaten him Eggman," I snapped.
  "Don't talk to me little girl!" Eggman snapped right back at me. His eyes darted between me and Shadow.
  "Eggman what is training her if I can't show her how to really do everything. She wont learn this from a text book. If she wants training, I'll give her training. She needs the real life experiences to learn how to do and cope with what is in her future." Shadow said cold and emotionlessly. Everything was silent. Eggman was glaring at Shadow. A war was raging in his head, I could tell. He knew Shadow had valid points, but then again our actions were not approved. He knew that if he let it slide we would do this regularly. He also knew that if he was to strict with punishment then we would still do this more to rebel, to get some freedom.
  "Um, if it helps at all. We were confronted by Sonic. He seems to be crumbling. Right now we could easily take him out...but what fun would that be," I piped up reluctantly. Eggman took another look at me.
  "He. Saw. You. Two." each word was growled.
  "He didn't recognize me. I made sure of that." I tried to smooth Eggmans rage with my words. "My...absence...has definitely taken a toll on him and the others. Also, the fact that we have Shadow they are obviously worried. Possibly afraid." Everything went silent again. Eggman was quickly calming down. Easily a smile spread on his face. I had won him over.
  "Hmmm, well that's very nice news Amy. Maybe I could let this little incident slide..." Eggman stepped towards me. "But," he paused, "no never mind." Eggman turned back towards Shadow. "I recall you saying something about real life experiences for what's to come." Shadow nodded stiffly. Eggman thought for a moment. "Well then I have a punishment, a small one, for you two for leaving. It will be more for you though Shadow...since you knew better and it seems I have to train you again." Me and Shadow glanced at each other. "This will help with your training too Ms. Rose. It'll will be a real life experience you will have to learn to cope with." I tensed. "Shadow, punch her." Eggman commanded and took three steps back.
  "What?" I choked. Shadows eyes widened slightly.
  "Punch her Shadow. Anywhere you like, but you have to use force. I wont be satisfied until you hurt her." Eggman grinned evilly.
  "I am not going to punch her...Doctor." Shadow started to protest, but stopped himself and went back to the robot like responses. I hated how he always called Eggman, Doctor.
  "But Shadow, the real life experiences!" Eggman said dramatically. "Do it. Now. Or I will choose where you hit her and make you do it with all your force."
  "Eggman, how is that a small punishment?" I asked nervously.
  "Shut up girl." Eggman commanded. His gaze was locked on Shadow. I chewed on my bottom lip.
  "Doctor, I can't hit Amy." Shadows tone was the tiniest bit desperate.
  "SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!!! YOU WILL DO AS I COMMAND!!!" Eggman boomed. Oh God. How is Shadow going to take that? No one controls Shadow. Everyone knows that. Eggman should know. I looked over at Shadow. I wanted to tell him to just do it, but that wouldn't help at all. The muscles in Shadows arm twitched. He was pissed. Super pissed.  However, he surprised me by turning on his heel and faced me. His hands clenched into fists. Was he really going to hit me!!!??? Well, if he was then I will take it. I straightened my back and stared him straight in the eyes.  As he took a step forward and pulled his fist back I got an idea. I'll just do something when he is about to hit me. In a flash Shadow's fist was flying towards me. Just as fast I started to think like he would. I dropped to a crouch then kicked his legs out from under him. He hit the ground shocked. I moved swiftly and pulled his hands behind his back then hoisted him up to his feet.
   "Amy, what the hell!" Shadow tried to jerk his arms free.
   "Eggman, Shadow and I have been having…problems… with hitting. It is not approved." I smiled a sickly sweet smile at Eggman. Everything went silent again. Shadow continued to struggle, but I jerked on his arms and tightened my grip. Eggman just stared at us, his mouth slightly opened. "Maybe you could think of something else, other than having us beat each other up? Trapping us in here all night would be enough of a punishment." I offered. "No sleep, or food…we will have to stand each other the rest of the day and all night…punishment and training all in one deal." my brain scrambled for ideas.
  "She is just kissing your ass Eggman. Don't listen to her." Shadow breathed darkly. I gasped internally. Shadow called Eggman, Eggman. Not Doctor.
  "At least she is trying to save herself," Eggman pointed out. His anger obviously gone, replaced with confusion and shock.
  "There is nothing left of me to save. I don't matter. I don't want to matter. She is more important than me. She is the one that matters, the one that needs saving." Shadow muttered pessimistically.       
  "Oh that just gave me an idea!" Eggman said with sudden giddiness.
  "Shit," me and Shadow whispered.
  "I will have you, Amy, fight one of the new robots I have created. All by yourself in and in one of my special rooms. You know Shadow, the rooms that I can observe from. And I'll make you sit and watch her fight. You wont be able to help at all. MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Eggman threw his head back and laughed maniacally.
   "Will I get a Chaos Emerald?" I asked with my brows furrowed together. Eggman was such a crazy.
   "Why on earth would I give you an Emerald!" Eggman shouted.
   "Because those robots are HUGE and I'm just a girl. And that robot is solid metal AND like two hundred feet tall! I couldn't defeat that, much less by myself." I snapped at Eggman. He paused to think for a moment.
   "I guess your right, girl. Anyways I wouldn't want to destroy the person who has been most helpful to me in many ways." Eggman said. I smiled in relief and hopefully to please Eggman.
   Taking a deep breath I said, "Thank you…Doctor." Shadows head snapped around and he stared at me with a expression I couldn't decipher. Even Eggman had a shocked look again.
   "Take the rest of the day off. Your battle is tomorrow in the afternoon." with that Eggman turned and left the training room. Once the door slammed shut I released  Shadow. He stumbled away from me but spun to face me. His breath was suddenly ragged. I noticed every bit of him at once. The way he was slightly hunched forward, his stance was like he was about to use Chaos. His mouth open as he breathed. Dark eyes set on me.
   "Don't look at me with those eyes," I snapped easily. Shadow scoffed.
   "How many times have I wanted to say that to you Rose?" Shadow growled. I flinched internally. And oh no, he called me Rose. Shadow rolled his shoulders then took a couple steps towards me. "What are you trying to do!? Who's side are you on!?"
   "What is that supposed to mean!"
   "Exactly what I asked!"
   "I'm trying to live! And I'm on my side!" I shouted at him.
   "You're trying to live!! Then tell me how the hell you are going to live against the monster Eggman has waiting for you?! Would you like to explain that to me? And while you're at it, why don't you explain to me what 'your' side is! Is it with Eggman? Because you two are pretty cozy! He follows your every word!" Shadow was in my face now. I opened my mouth, wanting words to spill out, but my mouth just hung agape. "And do you have ANY idea what you have done by calling him Doctor! You gave in! He thinks he has complete control over you! And if you disobey him you end up like me! You just showed your alliance, that your on his side!" he continued to shout.
   "STOP YELLING AND MAYBE I CAN EXPLAIN MYSELF!!!!!!" I screamed in his face. And when I say screamed, I mean screamed. His words echoed around my head loudly. Especially the part where he said, "And if you disobey him you end up like me". I could see the hell in his eyes. He hid everything so well I never knew how he really felt unless I paid careful attention. I never knew when he was raging inside. What I do know is that I don't really know the real, real Shadow, even though it felt like I did. "I'll live because you taught me how. And my side is following Eggman until Sonic gets here and you know it! You KNOW Shadow. God damn it you know what my side is! And what the fuck do you mean we are pretty cozy! We don't stay in his office all night and do each others hair and share our deepest darkest secrets! And he only goes along with what I say because it always includes pain for me! What I tell him gets him what he wants! And did you ever stop to think that me calling him Doctor just earned me his trust!? I need his trust Shadow! We need it! AND GUESS WHAT!!!!" I continued to shout very loudly. "I'm already like you." I whispered giving him an angry black glare.
   Shadows fists were clenched tightly along with his teeth. I could only imagine how fast his heart was beating. Blood rushing through his veins. Muscles burning from being tight for so long. A longing to fight. To pull out a gun and shoot me. Then I would be gone and his problem would be solved.
   "Go ahead! Fight me! I know you want to!" I shoved him backwards. No matter how pissed he was, he wouldn't hit me first. I had to coax it out of him. I wanted to fight to. I wanted to throw some punches. To kick and scream and get my frustration out. A low, deadly, feral, grow rumbled from Shadow. He sprung towards me with agile precision. We hit the grass floor. His fist connected with my gut. Refusing to cough from the impact, I kneed him in the groin. Then before he could throw something back at me I was able to pull away and punch him in the chest. He grabbed my wrists and rolled, pining me down. My head hit the ground hard. His fist connected with my jaw this time. I felt my lip split open. I could taste a little blood. Pissed, I kicked him where it counts (haha). That made him fall over on his side with a grunt. His hands flying down to cover the area. I rolled back on top of him and just let go. I punched him, kneed him, pulled his fur. He would too. We rolled and punched and kicked and pulled and rumbled, growled, snapped. This went on for about twelve minutes. Shadow was now kneeling over me. I laid under him panting, but I raised my arm and curled my fingers ready for another punch. We were both panting raggedly. My arms felt like noodles and my body was bruised and sore. My fist just fell back and hit my chest. I tilted my head back more so I wasn't looking at Shadow.
   "Get the fuck off me." I attempted a growl. It took him a moment but he finally rolled off and onto his side in the grass. His arm covered his eyes. Our anger and frustration was gone and now we were just exhausted. After a minute I stood up and without looking at Shadow left the training room.



SIX HOURS LATER
8:35 P.M

I was laying in my bed. My face was bruised, lip split, arms and torso bruised. Cuts all over. Plus a little bit of dried blood here and there. Everything was stiff and sore. The last I saw Shadow was when we fought. I cried when I got to my room because of everything that had just happened. Then about three hours later I cried for another hour because I was hurting so bad. I had to search for an Emerald with my mind to try and ease the pain. It helped.
   My eyes stared at the clock on the alarm stand as the minutes ticked by. I wanted Sonic. The bright blue numbers on the stupid clock kept reminding me of him. Thoughts of him swirled like a whirlpool in my mind. It was driving me insane! With a huff I carefully pushed myself up off the bed. Limping to the secret room Rouge had, I opened the door. I was going to take a bath. I turned on the hot water and let it run. Then I stripped down, throwing my clothes into a pile. I took a brush and ran it through my hair then stepped into the hot water. Once the tub was full I turned off the water. For awhile I just sat, letting the hot water relax my muscles. It was nice to feel relaxed. Finally I leaned against the back of the tub and let the water submerge my body. It had to be nine o clock now. Sighing I reached for some soap and scrubbed my hair clean, then my body. After I rinsed all the soap off I drained the tub and got out.
   I was able to find some comfy clothes in the huge closet. A pair of grey sweatpants and a stretchy tank top. Quickly I pulled on the clean clothes and continued to limp out of the closet into the room. The floor was cold against my bare feet. A shiver passed over me, but not because it was cold. I froze in mid-step and looked around the room. It seemed empty, but I knew there was something in here. My eyes searched everything, every shadow, corner, object. Looking over my shoulder, I studied everything behind me. Nothing. Slowly I made my way to my door and opened it. A figure was retreating down the hallway. I couldn't tell who it was in the dark. On the floor outside of my door was a small package. Not safe. Who knows what is inside. My eyes narrowed. This was a test. Quietly I closed the door behind me and stepped around the package. Still quiet I snuck down the hallway after the shadowy figure.
   I could still barely make out the person/thing that was moving down the hallway. I kept my distance. From what I could tell it wasn't a robot. The movements weren't jerky enough. I kept myself pressed against the wall as I stalked the figure. After about fifteen more steps there was a bright flash of white light and the shadowy figure was gone. Disappeared just like that. My heart skipped a couple beats, my eyes wide. I need to get to Eggman. There was just an intruder on base. Without thinking I started to run, hoping my feet would be able to guide me to Eggman's office. And they did! It took me three minutes at least. I didn't even bother to skid to a stop. I just grabbed the handle of the door and threw myself into the room.
   "Doctor you cant-" Shadows voice was the first thing I heard. But it stopped abruptly. Panting heavily I bent over and put my hands on my knees. The person who was just here was definitely not Shadow or Eggman since they were both here.
   "D-D-Doctor," I panted. "Some-someone was just-just," with one hand I pointed behind me towards the door. "Someone was just here." I tried to control my breathing. "Left something outside my door and started to walk off, I-I-I followed but didn't catch up. I-I-I was only able to follow for a minute or two before they disappeared in a white light. Really bright." my panting slowed. "In-In-Intruder." I looked  up and saw Eggman and Shadow just staring at me. "Well are you going to do something!" I snapped. Still just staring. What the hell?! I stood up straight and went over to the wall with multiple computers, screens and buttons. Luckily I had been shown how to work all of them.
   "What are you doing!" Eggman shouted as if snapped out of a daze.
   "Apparently your job!" I shouted back at him. My fingers moved over one keyboard quickly. I had the system check to make sure all the barriers, technology, everything, wasn't destroyed. Then I had all the lights in the base turn on. I turned on the security cameras to every TV screen. I probably looked insane, but I didn't care. I looked up two robots on the data base. Turning on the intercom I calmed myself. "Robots 78J and 4S6 report to room 116 and scan the package in front of the door. Come back to Doctor Eggman's office with the analysis." I paused and watched the screen that showed the holding room for the robots. Two robots left the room. "Now Robots 117H through 128H search the inside of the base and everything within a mile radius of the base for intruders." I commanded.
   "Those are not your robots to command!" Eggman screeched. "Did you ever stop to think maybe your overreacting! If Chaos had been used I would have been informed!"
   "Did you ever stop to think MAYBE IT WASN'T CHAOS!" I yelled back at him. "Now stop screaming at me!"
   "SCAN COMPLETE. PROBLEMS DETECTED. BARRIERS PROTECTING BASE AT NORTH SIDE DESTROYED. SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN HACKED. CONTROL CENTER ONE DESTROYED. ROBOTS 781T 324R 650L 941P AND 287G DESTROYED. GUARD ROBOTS ON NORTH SIDE DESTROYED. UNIDETIFIABLE TRACES OF SUPERNATURAL POWER HAVE BEEN DETECTED." Reported a feminine electronic voice. I turned from the screen and smirked at Eggman. The door to the office opened and two robots came in.
   "Doctor. The package holds a powerful source. Origin unknown. Not Chaos Emerald. Testing required." said one robot with a mechanical voice. It extended its arm holding the package. "Not explosives. Safe to hold. Testing required Doctor." The other robot extended its arm and held out a long piece of paper with information printed on it.
   "Results from scanning." It said. Eggman stared stupidly at the robots. Shadow stood quietly staring at me. With an annoyed huff I moved to the robots.
   "Thank you," I took the package and paper from them. "Go back to your holding area." They turned and left. I set the items on the desk next to Eggman. Then I looked at him. "Well, what are you going to do now?! I don't like doing your job so I'm not doing it anymore." I snapped. Still no response. I looked over at Shadow. "Does he do this a lot?" I asked.
   "No. I think he is having a stroke." Shadow watched Eggman, humor laced in his voice.
   "I am not having a stroke! Take Amy back to her room so I can do my job! Come back later to ask me your question Shadow. I'm busy. LEAVE!" Eggman pointed at the door angrily. Shadow came over and reached for my arm. I jerked away without meaning to.
   "Don't." I narrowed my eyes at him, then walked to the door. I could feel Eggman's confused stare on my back. Shadow was following me. I don't know if my rejection hurt him or not. I just didn't want to be touched. Especially by him. And even more so since we just had a fist fight earlier. The walk was quiet. When we got to my room I reached out to grab the handle of the door but Shadow reached over my shoulder and held the door shut. I turned my head to look at him. His crimson eyes had conflicting emotions in them that he was trying to guard. I wanted to snap at him, but I noticed how beat up he looked. Then words played in my mind from earlier; Sonic will attempt to…kill…himself but Shadow will save him. So don't be to hard on him. My heart throbbed painfully in my chest. I turned my whole body and leaned against the  door.
   "Are you okay?" his voice was quiet.
   "What do you mean?" I asked. He closed his eyes for a moment.
   "From earlier." he reached out with his other hand and brushed my cheek and lips with his fingers. A shiver passed over me.
   "Yeah I am fine."
   "I cant believe I hit you, especially in the face." he shook his head. His hand dropped back to his side.
   "Its fine Shadow. Really." I didn't want to be mad anymore. I moved toward him and rested my head on his shoulder.
   "You were limping the whole way here." he pointed out.
   "And?"
   "That's my fault."
   "No it's not. I'm the one who started the fight. I'm not sorry about it either Shadow. I just don't want to be mad at you anymore." I sighed tiredly. A robot walked past us talking to its wrist. It must have been giving commands to other robots. Or it was just another failure of a robot.
   "I overreacted, so I'm sorry." he stroked my hair. Silently I agreed with him. "I don't want you fighting that robot Rose."
   "You mean you don't want to watch me fight the robot."
   "That too. It will kill you."
   "No remember, Eggman said he wouldn't want to lose his most helpful resource. I'll be fine. And I get a Chaos Emerald. I will be fine."
   "You'll be alone."
   "Why are you so worried?" I paused for a second then pulled away. "Shadow the Hedgehog. You are scared." He rolled his eyes at me as if to deny it.
   "Your suicidal by agreeing to fight. Your also exhausted and need to sleep."
   "Yes but I don't want to sleep."
   "Well you never want to do anything you should." he shook his head.
   "Fine, I'll go to bed." I groaned. "Your to good with guilt. Goodnight Shadow." I turned and reached for my door handle again. Easily I opened the door but Shadow stopped me again. His hand grabbed my waist gently.
    Then he breathed in my ear, "And Rose, you have no idea how often I get scared." His words were hesitant at first. I was about to turn and say something, but his hand disappeared from my side and he was walking to his room. I didn't go in mine until I heard his door close. He didn't look back at me once.

God I want Sonic.
