Chapter 2: Fine, you can stay.
"How dare that fool come here at this hour carrying that ugly piece of luggage unannounced!?" Shadow raged, after shutting the door in Amy's face and locking it. "Who does she take me for?" He grumbled, in disbelief.
Without showing any remorse for the disheartened hedgehog, Shadow began to circled back around to head straight towards his bedroom. However, he hadn't even made a complete turn until the knocking started again.
Bang Bang Bang
Only this time, it was louder.
"Shadow, please let me in!" Amy shouted from the other side of the locked door, still coping with bitter snow-storm. "I've come too far to give up now and I really need your help!" She begged, hoping Shadow would have a heart already.
Dear Chaos….
Rubbing his temples as he felt a migraine coming, the black hedgehog can only hope this argument wouldn't last long. It's already late and he's too tired for anything like this now. "You got a lot of nerve coming here, Rose!" Shadow hollered back through closed doors. "Don't you have friends who can probably help you at a time like this?" He questioned, impatiently.
"Well, that's the thing." Amy replied, meekly. "Anyone I could think of lived too far away and the weather condition were getting hazardous. You were the closest one I could get to out of all my friend's I can think of!" From indoors, Shadow left ear twitched when he heard the pink flower taking deep breaths. "I had to take a risk coming here despite how you were going to react off it." Amy explained, breathlessly.
"Damn straight." The black hedgehog rolled his eyes, agreeing to the last part of her sentence while still keeping his eyes glued to the door. "You're not welcome here, Amy." Shadow addressed, in cold blood. "Leave now." He ordered, firmly.
A gasp was heard from outside.
"Shadow, come on!" The pink flower yelled, sounding fairly desperate. "Don't leave me stranded like this. Help me out!" She pleaded, as her voice started to crack.
"..."
The apathetic ebony refused to respond.
"Shadow...could you open the door, please?" Amy tried yet again, unable to cope with the cold outside any longer. Sounds of harsh, prickling wind blew even harder.
Arms crossed, Shadow tilted his head to the left while limply shrugging his shoulders. "If you're going to die, die someplace else." He expressed, with no signs of remorse. "I don't want a frozen pink idiot on my doorstep in the morning." And with that, the ebony turnabout and headed towards his room once more, trying to forget about deathly cold pink flower outside who ever requested his help.
Bang Bang Bang
His movement went to a halt.
"She just won't give up!" His left eye-twitched.
BANG BANG BANG
"Why that persistent bitch..." Shadow muttered, as Amy was getting bold with the obnoxious knocking. He attempted to make one more step to go to his sanctuary he called, bedroom.
BANG BANG
BOOM POW BAM BAM BANG BANG
Grr!
"FUCK, ROSE!" Shadow caved-in and turned the opposite direction as he walked towards his front door, stopping in front of it with his hand on the lock. With a sour-look on his face, he then unlocked it followed by turning the knob, reluctantly opening it.
There, stood the once help-seeking woman who started off with the most miserable day of her life, couldn't help but form a small smile on her face. Although shivering terribly, covered in snow and, quills frozen at the tip, Amy slowly made her way in by walking past the irritable hedgehog who refused her from the start. Looking around the house, Amy figured how dark and dimmed it looked. She guessed she came by when Shadow was about to turn in for the night.
Still clutching her suitcase, Amy decided not to let go of it yet. Just because Shadow let her in didn't exactly mean he was allowing her to stay. She can only pray. As Amy's back was still turned to Shadow, she can actually feel him throwing daggers at her from behind. The worried pink flower tried her best to not shudder.
She's just very lucky he hadn't killed her yet.
VERY lucky.
As the solemn black hedgehog closed his front door shut, hopefully for the last time for tonight, that was when Amy turned around and face him. The two stood looking at each other in an awkward pause.
Neither one spoke for a moment.
Vicious looking scarlet spheres stared deep into those hopeful verde eyes, waiting for the pink flower to redeem herself for coming in such short notice. Amy can tell from Shadows eyes that he demanded an explanation for all this. She fidgeted her fingers for a second, taking a deep breath followed by relaxing her shoulders.
"I guess the least I can do now is tell him what's going on..." Amy cleared her throat, getting ready to break the silence. "First off, thanks for letting me in Shadow." The pink flower gave her gratitude, curling up a smile.
Shadow just frowned.
"Forget about the formalities." The ebony brushed off, watching Amy's smile disappear before his eyes. "Tell me the real reason why you are here." He demanded, hastily.
"Okay...just today I got evicted from my apartment near Windy Valley." Amy started off, nervously. "My landlord increased the rent to the point that I was unable to keep up with it. I missed one payment out of three years living there and my jerk landlord forced me out of my home. It all happened so fast and I never got the chance to phone anybody about what was going on. Matter of fact, I only got a house phone...which is still at my old apartment..." Her ears drooped. "I don't have a cellphone." The embarrassed pink hedgehog mentioned, sadly.
Shadow nodded his head and gestured a hand to her to go on.
And so, Amy continued. "So after walking for a couple of hours homeless, I could only think of a few friend's on top of my head I can temporary stay with until I get back on my feet. Staying with Tails and Cream was not an option. Rouge might but, her and Knuckles relationship is way out in the opening." She said in disgust, at the last part.
Shadow hid a snicker at the thought that his G.U.N. partner who was known to do that.
"I'm sure Sonic would've helped me out in a heartbeat but I didn't bother was because Scourge is a nuisance. Scourge lives with him and I don't want to be anywhere near that green vile of vomit." Amy pouted, sticking her tongue out in disgust.
After Amy finished explaining herself, Shadow narrowed his eyes. Slowly, he moved to where his sofa was and sat down. Arms crossed, legs spread out, head leaned back…He had to spend a few moments thinking to himself and the situation.
At last, he spoke.
"And that's when I come in the picture, huh? All of a sudden I'm your only chance as far as temporary living condition goes until you're able to find an affordable place to call on your own, is that it?" Shadow hissed, eying Amy dispassionately.
Amy nodded, truthfully.
"I don't need this now! I could just throw her out right now but I don't want to risk getting my door busted open for that matter. Plus it seems that she got her mind-set living with me from the start. Dammit, HER staying here!?" Shadow abruptly got up from his seat and approached the pink flower, baring his fangs. "You know...I am never...ever...the one to do this for anybody, Rose. Not you, your friends, blue faker or, even my partner Rouge. Just you standing there really irks me." Shadow said, looking down on her.
Amy couldn't help but cower….Just a little.
"Even in the past when I had to work with you and blue faker's company, I seriously talked myself into not forming a Chaos spear and stabbing myself with it just so I wouldn't have to be around you guys. You came uninvited and expect me to say 'yes' to all this because of your sappy story?" Shadow went on with his rant, raising a brow at his last sentence. "I really want to say; that's almost hilarious." He rudely said, sounding a bit uncalled for.
Amy lowered her head in sadness after hearing the harsh words coming from Shadow. While staring at the plush carpet below, she knew from the very start this wasn't going to be easy. But she wasn't one to give up without at least trying. Even when Shadow shut the door in her face the first time, she couldn't turn back at that moment.
New found strength emerged within the pink flower and she tightly clenched her fist together. Feeling brave, Amy raised her head up high and looked directly at Shadows face. She was clearly trying to muster enough determination despite what she's been through.
Shadow lowered his eyes and mouthed an un-amused glare at the pink flower's sudden change of attitude.
"Shadow the Hedgehog, I admit. You're not the most social guy around. Hell, when your name popped up in my head on my way here, I got sick to my stomach. You resort to violence instead of reason, you don't know how to feel, you never give anyone a benefit of a doubt, too quick to judge, and the word 'help' is completely foreign to you. I guess we both have our fair share of what we don't like about each other." Amy beamed bravely, said standing her ground.
Knowing it was safe to speak her mind, Amy then continued.
"You don't have to like me and I'm not asking you to be my friend. I just need a temporary home until I find a new apartment I can afford. All I'm asking is a little time and I'll be out of your quills before you know it." The rose took a breath. "And if it's one the thing you owe to the world then let it be you aiding someone who is unable to stand on his/her two feet right now, someone like me." The courageous pink woman took one a step closer, daring to look deeper into those piercing scarlet eyes. "I'm here now so get used to it." She whispered, finalizing her words.
All Shadow did was stared at Amy after what she just said to him. Once again, there was an awkward silence and without Amy knowing, the ebony kind of gave the brat a little credit for her speech. Who stands up to him like that? He shut his eyes and thought for a second, not caring if the brave little flower was still in front of him.
After giving it some more thought, he reopened his eyes and still saw the very same determination Amy has on her face. "Guess I can't get her out of my quills now." Shadow sighed, in defeat. Oh my Chaos, he was going to regret saying this. "Rose you can..." His words struggled through clenched teeth. "You can drop your suitcase now." He advised, growling in a low tone.
Shocked.
Did Amy just hear right?
Was Shadow actually considering letting her stay with him for a while?
Even after all that?
Miracles do happen
Amy felt complete joy in her heart. Shadow was allowing her to stay with him for she doesn't know how long but hopefully it wouldn't be too long. If Shadow wasn't the kind of dick he was, she'd give him a hug. But for now, a proper 'thank you' is all she can do.
Smiling weakly, the pink flower set down her suitcase and began coming up with her best appreciation. "Shadow, you don't know how much this mean-"
"Just know this, Rose." His tone of voice gave off some venom as Amy stopped in mid-sentence. "As long as you're here, you BETTER make yourself invisible as possible." Shadow warned, arrogantly turning his back at the pink flower. Leaving the Amy stunned for words, Shadow then walked towards the dark hallway where his room was located, getting ready to get some sleep after a long night.
By the time he reached his Master bedroom, he immediately gripped the handle and twisted the knob, pulling the wooden material open. Not wanting to hear another word from the homeless hedgehog, he quietly slid inside and closed the door behind him.
Now it was just Amy in her winter attire and the worn-out suitcase she just placed down right next to her. She took a moment to look around Shadows entire home and wondered why she did not pay attention before. The ebony's home was actually pretty nice and spacious. Though the place lack a few furniture's and chairs. How come he hardly has any decorations or picture frames of people and such?
Least he got a 60 inch flat screen T.V. facing the sofa.
Ears perking up, the pretty pink lady then heard a crackle and immediately turned to her left, spotting a fire chimney bursting beautifully with such remarkable flames.
Her face brightened.
"Oh yes, warmth!" Removing her heavy purple jacket, Amy went closer to the fire chimney and sat down Indian style. She rubbed her hands together and placed them up close to the fire, letting the heat surround her cold hands and body. "That feels nice..." Her face relaxed with a smile, getting fairly warmed up and not having to worry about getting a fever the next morning.
Afterwards, Amy bent forward down to remove the snow boots from off her feet and sat them next to the side, standing up on her two feet. Looking at an angle to her left, she stretched her arms in the air and let them fall limply back to her hips, yawning as she gazed at the sofa. "I guess I'll take the couch tonight." She beamed tiredly, turning her heel where the sofa was located and walking her way there.
Amy placed her palms on the sofa and brought up a knee, climbing the rest of the way on the couch. "I'll ask Shadow in the morning if he has an empty room or space I can crash in." She hoped, lying sideways on the couch with her back turned towards the T.V. "I'm sure he does, his place is fairly big." The pink flower half-lidded her eyes and nuzzled her head, wedging it between her folded arms.
With a exhausted sigh, Amy flickered her eyes soundly but remembered one last thing. "Hm...be invisible as possible, he say?" She tried not to laugh. "That's going to be hard." Her mind wandered off, slowly drifting into slumber.
Behind closed doors in his own Master bedroom.
The room was completely dark but it didn't matter to the black hedgehog. Although he could barely see, Shadow stared blankly at the ceiling above him as he lied flat on his king size bed bed with arms spread out. "I still can't believe I let her in." He tightened his jaw, shifting underneath his brown blanket and turning side-ways. "Even if I never had any pity for her from the start." He frowned, lowering his eye-lids and wrinkling his nose. "Then again, she wouldn't stop banging on my door." Shadow snorted, rubbing a tired eye in irritation.
Trying to get comfortable, the black hedgehog flipped on his back and placed both arms behind his head that was supported by a pillow, sleepily fluttering his eye-lids. "And I could've left her out in that blizzard by herself so...What the hell?" He pondered, inflating his chest with air and breathing out.
Perhaps, it was because no one has stood up to the ebony the way Amy did. Like earlier, he was slightly impressed that she had the nerve to even challenge him, knowing that if it was anyone, they would've been dead just about now.
"..."
Whatever.
Having enough of trying to figure out the pink flowers bravery for one night. Shadow shut his eyes and silently drifted himself to whatever pointless dream that awaits him. "I swear, if she gets in the way of my daily routine." Grimacing, his mouth parted as he felt himself more relaxed. "Rose's fur will up up looking more like the color of blood instead of pink." His mind trailed off, trying to forget he now was sharing the same roof with that annoying flower...No, annoying WEED.
Zzzzzzzz
Not another sound was made now that the black hedgehog found refuge in his slumber. Sadly, it wasn't too be as the Master bedroom door flung open as a pink figure stumbled her way in. Abruptly waking Shadow which, in that matter, really got him on edge.
He leaned up.
Quite pissed off.
Still dressed in her clothes she wore since she got in with the exception of her thick coat. Amy squeezed her legs tighter and displayed a fidgeting expression, cracking an eye open. "Shadow," She hunched over. "Where is your bathroom?" The pink flower asked, frantically. "I've held my pee for hours and I need to go to the bathroom REALLY bad." She voiced, standing on her toes.
"Roooooooose!" Shadow boomed internally, looking to his left where a dictionary was spotted on the desk-lamp and reaching towards it. "You passed it through that hallway just before you came barging in, Rose." He gripped the book and sat up straight, aiming directly at Amy. "Walk back out and there should be a door to you left." He said, readying his arm.
Not liking how the ebony was planning to throw one of his reading materials at her, Amy could only smile nervously. "Um, thanks." She said, nodding her head and got her footing together as she was getting ready to run.
"Now get the hell out of my room and GO TO SLEEP!" The sleep deprived Shadow yelled in anger and threw the book at Amy just before she closed the door on time.
"Eep!"
Amy shrieked and closed the door.
And the book ricochet the other direction.
Shadow then rolled his eyes and lied back down flat on his pillow, placing his hands over his face, growling. "Fuck my life..." He groaned, knowing his in for a world of misadventures with Amy Rose the Hedgehog.
