A Shadow of a Rose

Chapter Fourty Six- Failsafe

(Shadow's POV)

I brush my fingers against the red paste.

"Silver...." I whisper under my breath, feeling it hesitate.

I had a feeling, tearing at my chest.

Was...was it fear..?

My breathing stuttered.

I pace around his kitchen looking around for more hints.

Where was he...

Was he safe?

I look at the magical scars coating the floor below me.

Zovaal is taking everything from me..

What's his Motive...

Why...

Just...

I flair my arms above me head and throw them back down in a fit of rage.

I look at the table with the red letters.

"WHAT DOES HE WANT FROM ME!?" I rage on the top of my lungs.

In all my mental commotion the table ends up broken and flipped over on the floor.

I stare at it as I regain my breath.

I attempt shake off the feeling as I look back at the magical tears in the floor.

I don't see any signs of Silver using his telekinesis.

It's all Necromantic scars...

As I rest my head I close my eyes.

"Come on... think Shadow..." I thought.

I open my eyes again and spot something in the corner of my eye.

I find a piece of fluff stuck to a spike in the Floor.

I stare at it before I realize what it is.

"....gold fur...?" I ask myself.

I look at it closer.

I shake my head and drop it back near the spike.

"Who the hell owns gold fur..." I ask myself.

I sigh and slowly warp away from the apartment as soon as I get as far away from it as I could.

(Rouge's POV)

I kick my legs back and forth off the bed.

"I haven't seen Shadow this anxious since his last Nightmare about Maria.." I state.

Knuckles looks over.

"Why would Shadow be worried about someone else?" Knuckles asks, figiting with his glove.

I huff.

"I understand that Shadow doesn't have a soul, but he still has a heart. Give him a break.."

Knuckles smirks at me.

"That's funny coming from the women who constantly makes fun of him." Knuckles snarks.

I sigh.

"Sorry, I'm just worried about him.." I whisper softly.

Knuckles rubs his palm against my back.

"Don't be sorry, just remember, this is Shadow we are talking about." Knuckles replies.

"I guess..."
