Chapter 1: Running Late

It was dark and raining. I could hear the distant thunder rumble in the background. The fire in front of me gave off a golden glow making the large room glow. The golden light refected off almost everyhing except the cream walls and the soft peach carpet. The furnitue dated back thousands of years (real priceless antiques).
   I had been waiting for someone for over two hours and he still hadn't shown. I was begining to think that he had forgotten that I needed to talk to him about something really important.

Now eight o'clock and he still hadn't shown. I wasn't worried about him just annoyed at him. He could handle anything that the world/universe threw at him (I guess).
   I glanced at the clock: quater-past eight pm. Thunder rumbled the storm was nearing. I sighed getting up off the cream couch and walked over towards the window. I opened the heavy velvet white curtians, it sure was raining. The front yard looked like a shallow lake but still a lake.

Damn I couldn't believe how late I was! I ran at my fastest speed I could manage before it started hurting, I'd been training these last few months and I am pretty sure that I was breaking the sound barrier, which of course is impossible unless your one of these two people: Sonic or me (Shadow).
   Damn I just couldn't believe how late I was running, pratically pushing my body and speed to it's limit, while drowning in the rain that felt more like knives. The only question on my mind was: Will she forgive me?

I didn't need anymore distractions I was late enough as it was, but apperently fate, luck and time was defenetly not on my side.
   God must hate me or something! Because as I was running I fell (I'm sure you can guess on how painful that would have been), I fell over what seemed like a crying rock?
   After loosing so much time already I decided to ignore it only to hear it scream when I got at least ten foot away. So as late as I was I went back to see what it was. To my surprise it was a baby wolf? Strange you don't get many wolves near the "posh" estate or acutal cities/villages in that case.
   I went back to running with the baby in my arms, it was crying all the way. Would it ever shut up!!
   I saw the mansion not too far away, I was still hopeing that she'd forgive me.

He'd better have a good reason why he's late. I looked back out the window and their he was running up to the mansion. With something in his arms?
   I walked to the front door and stood with it open ready to welcome him - home.

I saw her waiting the glow from the fireplace had spread into the hallway lighting her feautes in a soft warm glow making me feel warm inside. Her pink fur covered her fur in a soft glow. Her green eyes sparkled with both joy and anger, it was going to be a long night...
