Falling in love with a shadow... ( A ShadAmy story)

Hello Shad...oh

Amy's POV:

)()()()()()()()(

Please tell me this is a joke... Did Shad follow me? Why would he do that? We only just met... Right?

Sonic was madder than a cut up snake. He yelled into the house "Okay! Who helped her out!" Everybody ran out and saw me in Shad's coat and hat on me, as well as Blazes scarf that she gave me last year. They all started to shake their head to indicate they didn't do it. "Well somebody did! How do you explain this!"

"Sonic!" I yelled. He turned his head at me like 'seriously now?' I felt my cheeks get a little warm. "They didn't do this... Someone else did."

"Who?" Asked Sally.

"A guy I met at the park, and I wasn't talking to you Sally!" Sonic stepped in front of her protectively, like I was going to attack her. Seriously? I couldn't even move my hand, due to the way I was zipped up.

"Name?" Asked Rouge.

"Shad. And could someone help me up?" Cream came forth and offered me a hand. "Um... Zipper?"

"Oh." Cream unzipped me then offered me her hand again. I took it gladly.

"Shad who?" Asked Rouge again.

"I didn't get a last name..." I looked down at the snow. "Or see his face..."

"How are we supposed to return this?" Asked Blaze.

"Maybe I can help!" Called a voice from the woods. Everyone gasped. I nearly laughed at their reaction, I knew who it was.

"Is that you Shad?" I called out.

"Yes!" Sonic stepped out in front of me.

"Show yourself!" He yelled.

"Why should I?" Shad yelled, taunting Sonic.

"Because if you don't I'll..."

"You'll what!" Interrupted Shad, "Run in here with your scarf that Amy gave you? Oh wait! That's right! You threw away that scarf!" Sonic grew extra angry.

"Did you?" I asked Sonic.

"Huh?" He was so confused.

"Did you throw away the scarf?" I restated.

He paused "...No..."

"Liar!" Hollered Shad.

"How would you know Stalker!" Screamed Sonic

"One. I ain't a stalker! Two. I have it right here with me!"

"You thief! Give it back!"

"Why! You threw it in the trash!"

"Boys!" I yelled, this was getting annoying. "Shad do you want your stuff back?"

"Yes," Where is he at? "But I won't come out with your friends around."

"Why the 'L not!" Yelled Knuckles. [sorry I don't use the word, in my opinion I don't wanna use it,]

"Because Faker here just ruined your chance!"

"Who you calling a Faker!" yelled Sally.

"Your Boyfriend! Who else would I be talking about!"

"How do you know that!" Yelled Sonic.

"Guys lets all go in," I said "Shad, I'm going to go in and get on my stuff then I'll be right back out to give you your stuff. Is that alright?"

"Yes, as long as your alone, and as long as those shades stay drawn." Answered Shad.

"Okay, be out in a sec."

"Please, take your time, no need to rush."

I turned around to see, my friends. Blaze, Cream, Rouge, Silver and Tails all looked worried, and Knuckles, Sally, and Sonic looked angry. I sighed and pushed them in through the doorframe. I took off Shad's coat and hat and hung it on the coat rack on top of mine. Then I went to the bathroom and changed into my clothes, after that I deposited my swimsuit in the same bag I got it out of. Everyone was watching as I put on my coat and green scarf, then after I grabbed Shad's stuff, I started to walk to the door, Sonic ran in front of it with his arms crossed.

"Soniku, please get out of the way." I asked him politely.

"No way," said Sonic "It could be Scrooge, or Eggman, or..."

"Shad." I interrupted. "Believe me Sonic I'll be fine." I walked around him and opened the door.

"If it is someone we know, criminal wise, holler and we'll be out in a flash." Said Blaze. I nodded then exited, closing the door behind me.

"Shad?" I said "You can come out now." I looked around, I saw a shadowy figure standing in the shaded side of the tree. "Is that you?" The figure disappeared. "Hello?" I was starting to get scared... A hand touched my shoulder. I turned around slowly to see... O...M...G... "Shad...oh.... Shadow.... Shad-ow...."

"Yes that's my name please don't wear it out." He gave me a small grin. His eyes were just like in the picture... Sad, Lonely, Alone.

"What are you doing here... If my friends find out your out here they'll..."

"Beat me six and a half feet underground, why don't you, you know...."

"Call them out, because I don't believe them." I them realized he was standing without his coat. "Oh, here." I presented his coat, his hat, and his scarf. He took them and put on his coat and placed his hat on his head. He however did not tie his scarf around his neck.

"This is yours. Remember?" He held back out the scarf to me.

I shook my head, "You found mine, so I'm giving yours back." He chuckled.

"Nope it's yours , my gift to you." I gently lifted the scarf out of his hands.

"Thanks, um... Shadow..." I was going to ask how did you find me, but I then realized he took my advice and followed my footsteps in the snow.

"Yes Amy?" Uh oh, what am I supposed to ask him now? Ooh I got it!

"Why did you help me?" He looked scared to answer, I giggled. "I'm not going to tell anyone, you can tell me."

"Be...bec...because i... If I didn't you... would have frozen... solid." He looked at his shoe as he said that. "And... Your the only one who doesn't view me as a monster..." He paused. "So how buff was that guy coming out of the church?" Holy Crow! He read my Diary!

"How did you...."

"I followed you from Sonic's house when you guys had the emergency meeting, I had to know what happened so I read over your shoulder and read that one page of your diary." He looked away like a little kid who knew they did something wrong.

"That not scary." I said with sarcasm in my voice. He chuckled.

"By the way, um you don't need that faker he doesn't deserve you, your better than him..." We both heard the door open behind him and turned to look, somebody must have peaked through the shades and seen him... "Gotta run, before your friends catch me, merry Christmas Amy, see you around... Maybe... Chaos Control!" He vanished before my eyes leaving my friends wondering what just happened.

I didn't see him again till next year... In the spring. Till then I felt his eyes watching me, waiting for something... But I never knew what...
