A Shadow of a Rose

Chapter Two- One Dramatic Entry

"Hey Ames! Sorry I'm a bit early." Sonic tells me.

I smile at him.

" well at least you'll never be late to anything" I giggle as I tell him.

He smiles and he takes me by the arm out to his car. I blush a bit as he leads me to it. He goes around and starts the car as I get in.

"Oh wow, What a pretty colour. Where did you get the car Sonic?" I ask him in question.

He looks at me and says" oh at a dealer out of town. Gave me a Hero discount cuz yah know how I save the world and stuff."

I laugh a bit. "Don't ever change Sonikku" I say blushing.

Sonic rolls his eyes and smiles. " Your 15 and you still call me that." He says smiling.

He starts the car and we chat a bit. That's when Sonic brings something up that made my ears prick up.

" So Ames! Have you figured out what powers you have?" He asks like it's nothing.

I don't answer for a long 10 seconds and Sonic side glances at me and drives.

" You ok Ames?" He asks.

I look at my hands. " Ye...yeah sorry. I just.. I still haven't sparked any powers." I say with a sad tone.

Sonic looks at me with a slight sad face and says" oh sorry to bring it up then. I didn't realize you still don't have powers".

I smile and look up at him.

"That's alright Sonic... I just.. it's a very sensitive topic to me." I tell him.

We park on the outskirts of the giant highschool.

" Well! We're here! Didn't even take 10 minutes! You live pretty close to here huh?" He asks.

"Yeah. I thought I would be easier getting to school this way." I say.

Sonic gets out of the Car and leaves me hanging.

"He might be a hero but he needs to work on his Gentlemen skills a bit" I murmur to myself.

I get out of the car and grab my stuff out from below the front seat. As I begin to walk up two big tall wolves walk up to me. They look like seniors.

"And look who it is. It's Amy.. what are you still doing around here hammer girl?" One of them snickers.

" I have you know I'm going to this school to learn, not to talk to idiots who get in my way. So if you could move that would be gre-"

I get cut off as he grabs me by the top of my dress and lifts me up off the ground.

My skirt comes up and I shriek.

"HEY!! PUT ME DOWN!!" I yell, my face more red than a tomato.

The other one laughs.

"Like we would ever put a punk like you down."

"Yeah! You Bratty girls just want us guys for Money, so let's just get rid of you all now!!"
The other one says to me.

I freeze. It's only the first day and they have already threatened me. I hope I don't end up bruised and bleeding after the end of this.

The Wolf rips the top part of my skirt exposing my top. I begin blushing in complete embarrassment as he throws me to the ground.

He was about to step on me when I saw Sonic walk up to him.

"Hey..Leave her alone! What did she do to you!" He growls, fidgeting with something in his hand.

The two wolves exchange glances then look at me.

" We were teaching her a lesson you dumbskull. Brats like her are annoying.." the Taller one says.

By the look of Sonics Expression he was not too happy with them.

" The only lesson that is going to be taught here, is that the moment you lay your hands on her....Your face will be plastered to the ground...You hear?" He sighs.

The two wolves glare at him as they walk to the front doors.

I cover my chest with my arms as they ripped the top part. I'm blushing so much my face might as well be red.

Sonic looks over and bends down next to me.

"Did they hurt you- oh.. let me get you a jacket or something... uhm I'll be right back ok Ames?!" He says as he runs off to find a jacket.

I nod, waiting in the cold.

As I attempt to keep myself warm, a flash of green evades my sight.
