A Shadow of a Rose

Chapter Fourty Four- Dust to Dirt

(Rouge's POV)

My eyes slowly opened just to be filled with what felt like dust and dirt.

My breath was rough, I must have been hit in the chest.

I look around with my cloudy vision, trying to find any familiar figures.

I tried to speak but then my lungs reminded me I couldn't.

Once my vision locks on a target on the ground, I realize it's Blaze.

I desperately try to turn over to get on my arms and legs.

My mouth opened to scream but nothing came out.

I see another tall figure look my way.

That tall figure with the robe.

My body was too weak to care at that moment.

I felt like I would tear any moment.

I could hear shouting from behind me at that moment.

I felt my grasp from the ground weaken.

I saw everything happen in such a short time.

I saw Shadowy figures start racing my way.

I started to feel warmth and happiness.

I begin to bink my final blink and-

I see a giant green blast around me emerge from behind me as it grew around the sky.

I look up and my eyes stop mid-blink.

Time felt slower.

I pair of gloves grab my waist and throw me over their shoulder.

I shrivel up a bit from the pain, as it slowly crept up my body.

A pair of green glowing eyes look at me.

It's Shadow?

What was he doing here-

Time resumes as he pauses.

I tried to kick him but my legs were numb.

He was hurting my stomach, he's such a jerk.

Why aren't we moving??

He grips me tightly for a second and I jerk at the movement.

He looks down at me and looks back at the direction that caught his attention.

Then the world went blank.

"Augh.." I groan.

The light blind me for a second before Shadow puts his hand over my face.

"Careful, it's bright." He says.

"I can tell... thanks though" I reply.

I hear him huff with a smile.

After moments of Silence, Tails comes in.

"Oh, I'm glad your alright." He says with delight.

"Other than the fact that I cant feel my legs, yeah I'm great." I sarcastically reply.

He pauses for a second and comes over and
Pokes my leg.

I stare at him.

"What was that for?" I growl. "You don't just touch a lady's legs"

He sighs.
