Unexpected (Shadow x Mobian!Reader)

"Sonic?!" The figure fell forward and you reached down, now seeing the color this was not their friend. You dragged the new hedgehog under the overpass and dug around in the bag for anything to tie him with. There was a grappling hook Sonic had insisted everyone took and they grabbed it to tie him up. He was black with red stripes down his quills and his eyes had a red rim around them.

Quickly he was tied up and propped against the dirt wall while the other sat across holding their weapon in a ready position for when he awoke and covered the injury with the backpack. Mentally preparing for what may come next, he cannot know that you have the emerald, he cannot know that you were injured either it would give him an advantage.

The black hedgehog stirred, his head lulling side to side and groaning awake. His eyes were squinting with the light and he focused on the one who had him bound.

"Who are you?" You asked pointing the blunt stick at him. He scoffed and turned his head away, pulling at his arms seeing if he could get out. The stick forced him to look at the angry (a/t) making him bare his teeth at them. "I said who are you." He was still silent. The other took note of the bruised muzzle and swollen lip. "Did you fight someone?" The stick was lowered and Shadow could feel the chaos energy starting to form around the two of them. He smirked knowing they were the one who had it and they didn't know what he was capable of. Your ears flattened to their head and poked the kendo stick into the tuft of white fur on his chest. "Who did you fight?!" They poked him hard pushing him back a little. His smirk growing as he finally spoke.

"The one you were seeking when you captured me." He simply put it. You jolted forward, straining the ankle.

"Where is he?!" The (a/t) bared their teeth, Shadow's eyes darted down to the bag now thrown to the side and revealing the injury. "You are not getting this." They moved the bag to their back securely tightening it so nothing could knock it out. He noticed that their ankle was freshly bandaged and still have wet blood around the fur.

"The emerald can heal you." Shadow moved his arms in the ropes trying to see if he could slip through again without catching their attention. Which seemed to be working as he slowly did it. All he needed was to keep them talking. 

"What do you mean?" You hid the injured ankle from him once again, as if he didn't know already.

"I can use it to heal you." Your eyebrow raised and you let out a laugh.

"You want me to willingly give you the emerald? And why would you heal me in the first place. We are not friends." Crossing your arms yoh leaned onto the backpack, shivering slightly when they moved further into the cold.

"Peace offering in trade of the emerald. No one has to get hurt."

"Sonic was already hurt!"

"Fine." Growing tired of the slow and peaceful approach, Shadow broke through the ropes and stood over their form on the ground. "I'll just take it and leave you to die." Their ears went flat on their head. They went to swing at him again with the stick but he caught it and broke it with one hand implementing more fear in you. His red eyes traced over the tiny form below him. "Give me the bag." You started crawling further into the storm while facing Shadow.

"Over my dead body." You spat.

"That can be arranged." Shadow threatened.

You tried to crawl faster and faster out into the woods making sure to keep your back away from him at all times but glancing behind making sure you wouldn't be cornered.  Shadow was quicker, he knelt down and grabbed them by the back of their neck and forced them up. 

"Give me the emerald and I won't hurt you. Disobey and there will be punishment." He was holding them by the scruff of their neck and their feet barely touching the ground. He was taller than most of your friends and his eyes held only anger and despair. You could see the light from the Emerald reflected in his eyes.

The gem was glowing intensely red leaking through the seams of the bag, next to an outlet for its power it was almost blinding. "You do not know the power you hold in that bag." His hand went to the strap on your shoulder while the other remained on your neck. Your hands reached for his trying to pry yourself away from him while keeping the bag. But the more you tried the more you began to realize that was not a reality.

He grabbed the bag off your back, releasing you and reached for the gem inside. "Finally." You fell to the ground and rubbed the back of your neck where his hand once was. Gaining your strength you stood, your leg shaking in pain begged you to stop. "What are you trying to achieve?" He turned his back to you and the Emerald was glowing brighter than before.

"CHAOS CONTROL." As he said those words you lunged forward grabbing him before he could leave. Caught off guard before he could stop you both teleported.

Notes:

Short ik 😌 but I think the next part for you two is better as it's own chapter than the ending scene.
