Abyss-the-hedgehog

    The pink hedgehog had been given a chance to warm herself in the library in front of the fire, after having sunk into the large, plush chair that sat on the complexly woven carpet depicting her family crest. There was a coffee table of dark wood that stood about a foot above the floor, littered with her father's box of smoking pipes and a book he must have been reading the last time he had visited.    She had drifted into a half-conscious state, in which she forced herself to look over the occurrences of the previous day – her leaving Sonic, the voice of the mysterious person who had resided in the trees, and refused to show themse

    Shadow had waited around on the rooftops for some time that day, running though the options that he had and the possibly results of each. He could kidnap her, but she would probably scream and he would be found out. He could gag her, but that would just cause her more distress. It seemed to him that he would have to ask her, and if she refused, knock her out and carry her with him. And all this in the dead of night, with only the mood to guide him.    Fantastic, Shadow thought as his leather boots tapped against the roof tiles. He had little regard for the amount of noise he was making, since in the dead of night in this city, people wo

    "So, we meet again, Amy," Shadow sneered as the pair entered the room. Amy avoided his gaze by meandering around the left side of the room. "Are you going to chicken out again?" He pried, trying to annoy her. But she ignored him, refusing to give him the satisfaction. "No, I'm not," She muttered in reply, running her gloved fingers along the matt white walls. "I'll try anything you throw at me." She turned her head to look at him, a small smile on her face, and took her fingers from the wall. "Gimme your best shot."    Shadow smirked, taking a seat on in front of the wall to the right of the door, and crossed his arms and legs, eyeing

    As Amy continued her laughter, and Shadow stood watching the live footage of Amy's triumph, a sudden siren started to blare. It was telling the students of the Eggman Survival School that they were to gather in the main hall, and that there was an announcement to be made. Amy's ears perked up at the noise, ordering the computer to save her results and shut down the simulation. It did as she had ordered just as she left the room.    Shadow also decided to leave for the main hall, curious as to what exactly they were going to tell the group.    Gatherings of this kind were the only excuse for both the male and female divisions to be in

    As the robots that had previously been surrounding her faded, indicating that the simulation had stopped, Shadow stormed from the room with a look on his face that would make lemons jealous, leaving Amy to stand, staring at the floor, in shock and humiliation.    Never, ever had she been called stupid. She wasn't stupid. She was one of the smartest of the girl's section, but this guy didn't know that. More importantly, this guy didn't care. She was just someone who had interrupted his training regime.    But Amy wasn't they type to give up after something like that. Maybe for the rest of the day, fine, but come tomorrow she would be r

    It had been only a week since Shadow had found out that he would be eligible for tutoring the female division, and he was already itching to get started, even though it was completely out of character for him. He of course kept it in check, not allowing Knuckles or Sonic to see his excitement, but for someone who had been denied the privilege for a good two years it was something special.    "Are you sure I can't just start now?" The dark furred hedgehog asked one of the humans working at the school. He had a helmet on with a visor that covered most of his face. Only his mouth was visible. "Sorry, Shadow, but there's a rotor. You know

  A loud crack sounded as her hammer snapped one of the orange robots in two, it's motherboard splintering and falling to the ground like rain. A chunk of metal flew off in the opposite direction and hit one of the other robots in the area, but that didn't stop her. She wasn't done yet.  The second blow from her hammer connected with a robot to her left, the flat surface hitting the top of it's head with such force, that everything directly below it's head was forced down and out of it's body.  She followed the blow through, allowing her hammer to slide off the surface of it's head and down towards the floor, where it made a crater from t

---(Amy) Rouge led the cloaked man towards the table I was sitting at. I actually felt the colour drain from my face. What if this mercenary found Shadow, but then killed him? I know it's far fetched, but it could happen! Maybe...    Regardless, he sat himself down, opposite me and next to Rouge, then they began discussing prices. "Sounds like a straightforward enough job. Can you tell me what you know about this person?" Rouge looked at him, shaking her head and then pointed to me, saying, "She's the one to ask about that. She knew him." So he turned his head towards me - I imagine to indicate that he was looking at me, see

---(Amy)   For two years after he was adopted I thought about Shadow every day. Where he was. What he was doing. How he was doing. These were the most recurring of my questions, but the one that scared me most? Was he even alive. The scariest thing in the world is definitely not knowing.   As soon as Shadow was no longer there, I saw no reason to attempt getting adopted. Previously, I had wanted to be adopted to convince them to take Shadow too. So that he could be happy. With me. But now that he wasn't there... it was pointless. "Amy!" "What?" My attitude had also deteriorated in the time he had been gone. "You have a visitor." "I don
