    I jumped out of the bed, grabbed my knife on my understand, and faced the window, my knife in front of me. I slowly walked up to the window, scared out of my wits but not showing it. The figure took shape, and I could see his features more clearly. Relief and anger flooded over me.

    "Damn you, Shadow!" I yelled.

    He looked at me with his ruby red eyes and shrugged apologetically. He tapped on the window again, then pointed at the latch. I lowered my knife and walked over to the window, unlocked the latch and pushed it open. He climbed in, and stood in front of me.

    His first words were, "Can I stay with you guys?"

    "What? Why?" I glared at him. I stood with my arms crossed and I was tapping my foot on the floor, like I did when we were recording the Sonic the Hedgehog games. The Waiting Pose, some people call it.

    "Because." he murmured.

    I slapped my face and ran my hand down it. "Why, Shadow?"

    "Because I'm scared." he looked at me with puppy dog eyes.

    I flattened my ears. I hated it when he did that. It made me feel sorry for him. I took a deep breath and sat on the bed. I put my head in my hands and sat there, thinking it over.

    "Please?" He whimpered.

    "Okay, okay. You can sleep in the floor beside my bed on a pallet. Let me get some blankets to make one." I went to the closet and got some extra blankets to make a pallet on the floor. I came back to find a very exhausted Shadow lying on the bare floor. I made a pallet, then went over to him, picked him up as if he was a child, and laid him on the blankets. I covered him up with an extra one and went to my bed.

    I sighed. We would have to go over the plans with Shadow tomorrow, but right now, I had different thoughts on my mind.

    Were we going to find the Slenderman? What would happen if we did? Would we get caught and killed? I don't know the answers to any of those questions.

    I closed my eyes and fell into an disturbed sleep.

==================================================

Sorry about the shortness of the chapter. I ran out of ideas. The next chapter will probably begin in Sonic's dream. It'll be similar to the first dream, but slightly different. He'll actually see the Slenderman. Plz comment.
