The Change Book I & II

Epilogue

It has been a day since Shadow heard from Maria and he was starting to worry.

After finishing his punishment, he slept all day the day after and he hasn't had contact with Maria.

Or anyone by that matter.

He popped his back as he walked through the Resistance's hallway.

He made a stop at the entrance of the Resistance' Main Room. He popped his neck this time and the door open automatically as he walked in. He saw Amy typing on her computer and went to her right away.

"Hey...have you seen Maria?" Shadow asked her.

Amy began to panic, she promised Maria that she wasn't going to tell Shadow anything until tonight. Giving her enough time to be as far away from the Resistance.

"Um, actually-"

"Hey Amy, Shadow...Now that you two are here, should we talk about that mission?" Rouge entered the room alongside Omega and Cream.

"Oh yes!" Amy said, relieved to be saved by the bell.

"Mission?", Shadow asked.

"Yes, I forgot to tell you. We need to go investigate Eggman's new base. Rumors are going around that Eggman is creating a new biological weapon...I think it's worth checking out." Amy added.

"Sounds good...I just need to find Maria first to let her know...When are we leaving?"

"Tonight."

Shadow's expression changed. He was excited, it has been a long time since Team Dark Rose had a mission altogether. He couldn't wait to tell Maria about it.

Shadow kept looking for Maria and there was no sign of her. He went to the dining room, the first and third main room of the Resistance.

He finally checked Maria's room just to find nothing. He began to panic, he was worried. It was starting to get dark and he headed to Amy's room if there is anyone who knew about Maria's whereabouts it was her. If anyone in the Resistance was in a mission, they would have to go through Amy first.

Shadow was about to knock on Amy's door until he heard someone else in her room.

"So... she just left?"

"I didn't want to let her go...but she insisted and I couldn't make her stay," Amy said.

Shadow didn't want to intrude, but a feeling inside of him told that he needed to hear this conversation.

"Are you going to tell Shadow?" Sonic asked.

"Maria asked me to not tell him until she was far away."

"Shadow...he is going to be hurt."

"I know... and I don't know how to tell him."

Shadow heard Amy sigh, he then heard Sonic do the same as well.

"Don't worry Rose...I'll helps you through this."

"Thank you Sonic...I don't know what I would without you."

Shadow couldn't hear anything else. He storming down his room and began to pack his things away.

The sun was already down. Amy was in her room, alone, thinking on the way she was going to tell Shadow about Maria.
