Dance with the Devil

Keep this a secret

Knuckles paces in his office and once more got news that shadow wasn't found. He growled and swung his arms across his desk knocking everything thing off. Yet he gets a flashback to the last time he did that when Shadow came in wearing something revealing. It was a long hard day for him and when shadow came in like that then sat on his lap talking to him I'm in sexy way that drove him wild. His fingers brushed the scratch marks Shadow had left during that blissful time and knuckles sat in his chair. He tears up and lays his head back then heard the door burst open. "Master!" The imp said. "Not now Cit I'm brooding and grieving...." Knuckles said as the imp ran up to the desk. "But master I found him!" Cit said and knuckles looks up. "What?" He said. "I found him sir! I found Shadow!" Cit smiled and Knuckles stood up. "WHERE!" He said. "A resort next state over yet he seemed a bit off." Cit said. "Off how?" Knuckles asked. "Like he forgot who you were saying he hope you were real. Like he dreamt of you." Cit explained and Knuckles looks down a bit heartbroken. "Darius must have made him forget somehow but give me the address and then go inform his parents." Knuckles said and Cit bows. "Yes Master"

Crystal walks past Shadow who seemed to be in an all too familiar daze. "Shadow?" She said and he looks up. "Hey Crystal" he smiled. "So judging by your face I'm assuming you really love the vixen?" She asked hopping this one won his heart. "No she was fun but oh well not for me." He shrugged and she sighed. "Then why the loving daze?" She asked. He looks around and then pulls her into an empty room. "Shadow what is going on?" She asked and he looks around then sighed. "Can you keep this between us....." he said and she saw how serious this was and sighed. "Yes" she said. "Ok so.... Last night... and two nights before that.... I been dreaming of this red echidna. "The first two nights it was him saving me from this bat lady and two guys then us dancing together like I lived through it and it... it just felt so right and wonderful. Yet both times before we kiss I would wake up." Shadow explained and Crystal sees the genuine smile and love in his eyes. "My god he was deeply in love with the devil...." She thought and felt a pain of guilt. "Then last night it was the same thing yet ummm.... Well I'll spare you the next part but like I said it's like I lived through it.... I said his name like I knew it but I... I just don't know." Shadow held his head. "Darius what have we done...." She thought. "Anyways just don't tell my brother he'll think I'm crazy." Shadow said and she nods. "Thanks Crystal" Shadow said and walks away.
Shadow walks to the pool and puts his towel on his chair before diving in the water. He breathes in air after he rose up from the water. He swims to the latter and climbs up water dripping from his body. He walks back to his chair and lays in it enjoying the sun a bit. "Hey cutie~" a male voice said and he looks up at a male bull. "Hi?" He replied. "Saw you dive in and come up and thought what a sexy thing~" the bull said. "Thanks now I don't want to be rude but you're blocking my sun." Shadow growled. "Hey no need to growl gorgeous besides~" the bull flex's his large muscles. "I bet you would love this by your side and in your bedroom~" he smirked and shadow rolled his eyes. "Sorry don't go for overly muscular men now get out of my sun" shadow said with more annoyance. The bull huffed and grabbed his arm. "Ow hey!" "Listen here you spoiled little sh—OW HEY!" The bull yelled as he was yanked away from Shadow. "Clearly you don't understand no" a male voice growled and punch the bull. "Why you—ow ow ow ow" the other male pulls the ring on the bulls nose. "Why me nothing now have a nice swim" the male voice said and pushed the bull in the pool. Shadow laughs and was grateful for the stranger yet when he turns around shadow was stunned. It was the red echidna from his dreams."You're.... real... and you're here..." he said shocked.

"Of course I am and I came to take you home"
