When Y/N and Shadow left the library, you looked at him and said,

"Hey um...Shadow?"

"Hmm?"

"I was wondering if we could hang out tomorrow?"

He thought for a moment.

"Sure."

"Really?"

He nodded as you smiled a bit.

"Great! I'm gonna head to bed so I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Let me help you get back home first."

He turned into a tiger and leans down a bit as you climbed on his back.

"Hang on tight."

Shadow ran off as you held onto his neck tightly but not to tightly.

Shadow blushed a bit by this as he continued to run.

They arrived back home and Y/N jumped off as Shadow looked at her.

"Thanks Shadow. Your ability as a tiger is pretty cool."

"Thanks." He said with a small smile.

You rubbed his head and said,

"Good night Shadow."

"Good night Y/N."

Shadow walked away as you went to your tent. While you were walking, you suddenly heard arguing.

You noticed a small hut and walked towards it.

"Where did this come from?"

The more closer you got to it, the louder it go.

"Blaze should of kept her mouth shut!"

"Don't go blaming things on her! You should be blaming yourself!"

You slowly peaked in and saw Scourge and Maria arguing with each other.

"We are perfectly fine where we are! I'm not risking this again!"

"You have to do what's right for our people! They will find us! We need to stop them once and for all!"

"There is nothing we can do! It's been over 1,000 years Maria! 1,000 years!"

"That doesn't mean we can't help everyone!"

"I heard enough! I'm not dealing with this!"

Scourge quickly left the hut as you hid yourself. Maria came out as well, looking furious as the hut disappeared.

You were shocked as you heard this.

You were starting to think that it might be your fault because after Silver saved you from the fire, the Outsiders were getting closer into finding the Shapeshifters.

They must of followed him while he wasn't looking but they're just taking their time.

You stayed silent for a bit as you slowly got up and went back home.

You climbed into bed, still having deep thoughts from earlier but you decided to ignore it and go to sleep.

The next morning, you suddenly woke up to the sound of someone screaming. You quickly got up and ran outside.

When you arrived, everyone turned their heads and gasped in horror.

"What happened!? What's going on!?"

"She betrayed us!"

"I knew it!"

"You don't belong here!"

"What are you talking about?

Y/N was confused on why everyone was yelling at her.

"You killed one of our members! You're one of them!"

You spotted the body near them and widened your eyes.

"I didn't kill anybody! I swear!"

Everyone gasped loudly as they saw you wave your hands at them. You noticed this and looked at your hands as you widened your eyes again.

Your hands were covered in blood and your outfit was all ruffled up.

"She did kill her!"

They started yelling at you as you backed away.

"This is a misunderstanding! I would never..." You suddenly bumped into somebody as you quickly turned around and saw your friends.

"Guys! You gotta help me! These people think I murdered somebody!"

"Stay away from us Outsider!" Knuckles said with a growl.

"I should of never brought you here..." Silver said.

"I trusted you Y/N. I should of known better." Blaze said, disappointed.

"I thought we were friends!" Cream said in fear.

"I was right all along."

You suddenly heard Shadow's voice as he glared at you.

"Shadow! Please! I didn't do this! You gotta believe me!"

"I don't trust a word you say anymore. You should leave."

"But..."

Maria went towards Shadow and hugged him tightly.

"Are you ok!? Did she hurt you!?"

"I'm fine. We don't need to worry about her anymore."

"I'm so glad you're ok!"

You felt your heart stop as Maria kissed Shadow on the lips. Shadow closed his eyes and kisses back.

You backed away as your friends and the Shapeshifters were trying to send you away.

"No! Please! Please! Stop!"

Suddenly, you woke up, screaming in fear. It was all a dream. You were panting heavily as you looked around the tent.

You broke down into tears, knowing that it might not be safe to stay here much longer.

You finally decided that tomorrow night, will be your last night here.
